a pastor that made a difference

j-mart





you have helped me through some tough times in my life . coming to your youth group and meeting everyone let me start over . I had been through alot at the time.when I started going to new vision i was into partys and drinking with friends and doing things i shouldnt basically and i was also very depressed and was a cutter i had a very distant relationship with my mom . you helped me change my way of thinking my way of doing things . God worked through you to let me know my way isnt the way that i need to be going . j-mart your a blessing you have helped me give up every single one of those things at our very alters and if not for you and the youth leaders i might of been still doing those things or might have even hurt myself badly . radiate gave me hope and love and acceptance and i just want to say thanks for everything youve done in my life
NOW:
I DONT DRINK ,I DONT CUSS, I DONT SMOKE, I DONT CUT, ME AND MY MOM ARE VERY CLOSE I LEAD MY PARENTS TO CHRIST , WORKING ON MY DAD AND I AM SAVED AND BECAUSE GOD HAS USED YOU I CAN SAY I AM A CHRISTIAN AND I HAVE BEEN FREE FROM MY PAST
i just want to say thank you for everything

dont hold back on god

I sit and watch the youth ministry grow and grow , as we grow i see that when we go up to the front to do praise and worship that most of us stay at our seats. This is something i think is holding us back from really pressing in to enter the presence of God . I think that when we worship God that we should give him our all and let our mindset be on only him . I know that most of the time people are scared to just let loose and let the holy spirit move because they are scared what people might think , but yet some of us allow the devil to convince us that you dont need to be in the presence of God . but what we dont know is that satan also understands worship , that is why he uses the power of satanic music so that the music can elicit sinful behavior but powerful annointed music can set you free . In (1 Samuel 16:23) it says whenever the spirit from God came upon saul , david would take his harp and play. then relief would come to saul;he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him. So i think that us teenagers need to step up and prove that nothng can hold us back from worshiping the one almighty God not even the devil himself . I think that we all have authority over our worship cause if you dont someone else does . so we need to renew our minds daily , and take control of our mind and our actions. Let's just be real.

COMFORT WHiLE BEiN AROUND YOUR FRiENDS

WHEN WE ARE AROUND OUR FRiENDS WE WANNA FEEL COMFORTABLE iN WHAT THEY SAY AND DO AND MOST OF THE TiME WE DON'T. SO WHEN WE KNOW OUR FRiENDS ARE DOiN SOMETHiNG THAT DOESN'T LET YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE YOU NEED TO EiTHER STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELiEVE iN OR CUT THEM OFF . CAUSE WHEN YOU STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELiEVE iN , PEOPLE WiLL REALiZE THiNGS AND iT ALSO BRiNGS GLORY TO GOD FOR WHAT YOU STAND UP FOR . i READ iN A BOOK ONCE THAT iF YOU SAW A LiTTLE KiD RUN OUT iNTO THE STREET, YOU'D DASH OUT THERE AND TRY TO SAVE THE CHiLDS LiFE . HUMAN NATURE iS LiKE THAT . WE TRY TO PRESERVE LiFE, AND i WiLL DO THAT ANY TiME i GET THE OPPUTUNiTY. SO WOULD YOU. YET HERE WE ARE LIVING iN THiS WORLD ,SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE, MANY OF WHOM ARE PROBABLY LOST GOiNG TO HELL, AND WE WON'T SAY A WORD ABOUT HOW THEY CAN HAVE ETERNAL LiFE . SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH US .WERE WILLING TO SAVE SOMEONE IN A VISIBLE CRISIS,BUT A LOT OF FOLKS ARE IN SPIRITUAL CRISIS AND WE DONT SAY A WORD ABOUT HOW THEY CAN GET OUT OF IT.
I'VE BEEN CONVICTED ABOUT MY SILENCE AND GOD HAS LAYED IT ON MY HEART TO LET EVERYONE KNOW ITSOKAY TO FEAR LIVING OUT LOUD BUT WHENSOMEONE NEEDS CHRIST YOU NEED TO LET GO OF THAT FEAR AND LIVE OUT LOUD ITS NOT OKAY TO LET YOUR FRIENDS TO GO TO HELL
SO STAY TRUE AND GUIDE YOUR FRIENDS TO CHRIST

live out loud

when your at school walking through the halls you hear things you shouldnt and somtimes you wanna walk up and say hey and just talk about god . but sometimes the fear of getting made fun of is standing right in front of you so you back off . but you shouldnt because satan tries to point the glory away from god but when jesus died on the cross he went through alot of pain for our mistakes that we make and will make and if you dont share the word you yourself have made a mistake . the more you share it the more people will hear .so dont let satan stand in front of you and take gods glory stand up to him and do what youve been called to do. and that is bring as much glory to god as you can possibly bring
god bless
