colossians 1:11


Colossians 1:11

Being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience.

When I read this verse, I reversed it and read it the other way. Endurance and patience, are where we get or strength in the lord. Without endurance to run gods race for life we are not strong and strengthened through him. Endurance is so huge because our life feels so long because our struggles are constant in this life. Patience is one more thing that helps us through life b. Patience is one more thing that helps us through life. Patience is needed in situations such as sharing the gospel to people that are not receiving the message. This can make you feel worthless or foolish but with god like patience you could wait for years for them to get the message.  I think Strength is the most powerful word in this verse that is why these other words are describing that very word.  God has the strength to move mountains, heal the blind and raise people from the dead. without endurance and patience, we are not letting god work through us like he always wanted to do. With the power of endurance and patience god will strengthen us beyond beliefs. through that strength he will do his amazing will and blow our mind with the power he has.



Application

When I’m hiking the volcano i will pray with someone every hour in thanks for the blessing that god has gave us endurance.

Revelations 14:9-10

Revelations 14:9-10 9Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand,10 “he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of god, which is poured out full strength into the cup of his indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the lamb. This verse is what I call a come to Jesus verse because it scares the people that have not excepted Jesus. This is one verse that my mom has reminded me through out my life about. This verse opens your eyes up to how descriptive the bible is and how it describes exactly what is to come. I loved hearing about this part of scripture from my mom because I felt like she was helping prepare me. The last stanza goes into detail about the wrath of the lord and how he truly tells you what will happen to those who get the mark. The mark of the beast is one thing th...

luke 8: 22-25

Luke 8: 22-25 – “One day Jesus said to his disciples, Let us go over to the other side of the lake so they got into a boat and set out. As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so they were in great danger. The disciples went and woke him, saying “Master, Master, we’re going to drown! He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided and all was calm Where is your faith? He asked his disciples, in fear and amazement they asked one another “Who is this?” He commands even the winds and the water and they obey Him.” This verse makes me think about how we can’t fathom the power Jesus has. Calming a raging lake is not even able to be understood because no earthly thing can control weather. Jesus says where is your faith this made me think of what kind of faith I would have in that situation. I believe I would say exactly what they said because that is so unreal. Where is your faith, I had that line repeating in my head as I was doing this...

mark 10: 47-49

Mark 10: 47-49 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout,” Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more,” Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stopped and said, “call him.” So, they called the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet. He’s calling you.   A simple blind man that had the courage to cry out to Jesus should show us how to stay strong today. The blind man Was shouting have mercy on me then many people rebuked him and told him to be quit.   But most of all he shouted even more, this made me think. This is how we should live are life when people are rebuking and trying to quit us. You must make a point to be louder with your faith by loving even more because those are the people that need us most. You must so be courage’s knowing full well you could be standing alone. We don’t have to spread the word but we must spread love and must care for others. people will automatically ...
