Book Review - Just Like Jesus (Max Lucado)

God hate Deveive, When you lie, cheat or deceive, you cause the death- The death of something else, like marriage, job, ministry or friends, relationship.

The Green House Heart
Green House = Heart
Thought = Seed
Mind = Doorway of your heart

If our heart is just like a green house, then shouldn't we be careful what we sow? Above all else, guard your heart ofr it is the wellspring of life(Proverbs4:23)

God is the owner of your heart.For example if your heart is a house, and your master is away.Whe he is backm and found out that the house is a mess. He asked you, why is hte house in a mess? You explained, because ruby player needs a stay, a bunch of bilkers needs to rest. So your master said, " Don't you know how to say no?" Because this is not your house only.

Thought Management We have done so many stuff, so many kind of management for our life, so have we considering in managing our thoughts? Our thoughts don't just belongs to ourselves only, we have submit to Jesus. Only He has the authorithy over you. He forgives you adn disallow your guilty thoughts. Don't leave your htoughts unguarded (2 Cor.10:5)

On page121-When you feel like a bum or loser. Don't you let your guards down? You should submit these thoughts to Christ instead-Ephesians2:10 or Romans8:1

That is when you feel like a loser. So what happens when you feel great. And do you let your pride gets in? - Rom12:3- Don't cherish ,exagerated idea of yourself or your importance. The cross of our Lord Jesus Christ i smy only reason for bragging-Gal6:14

Temptation thoughts-1Corinthians6&7 - Is important for the husband and wife. Sexual drives are strong , but marriage is strong enough to take it. So do not engage into any uncommitted sextual stuff.

Just remember that you have to be selective to your seed. The more selective with your seed, the more delightful is your corp.


===Gold in Grabbage===
Romans 12:12
So if you are mess up down be despair. What ever Jesus see is a opportunity in those mess up life. No matter what happens we have to filled our life on Jesus, because our eyes will determine our life-Matt6:22-23.

===Hope Filled Heart=====
When Jesus is being betray, abandon and left alone,even his prayer were not answered. How he felt at that point of time? All He had is not there, all His support is not there and nothing just works up for Him. But He still have hope, despite of everything.

Page 137. One day Elisha's servant got up and fear, Elisha said dont't be afraid. THe army that fight for us is larger than the one against us. 2 kings 6:15-17. Request God to let you see (Mark10:51)

=====Finishing Strong An Enduring=======

Have you been starting something with full power but didn';t finished it. E.g. A exercise plan, projects or relationship.
The most important thing is to finished the right thing, what is optional, essential?
OPtional= like speed reading.
Essential= like race of faith. (Heb.12:1)
Race in geek = agon = agony.
Jesus strongerst step is his last step.

- YOu know the moments of tempatation and hos is it like even in a minute. Jesus got tempted for 40days and never gave in. Temptation didn't stop him, nor did accusations. Jesus being abandon , un accepted, by people, accussed and shame, force to take punishment without doing anything. So how did He managed to endure those stuff? He focused on the joy that God put before Him (Heb12:2)

Jesus focus the prize in heaven, therefore He can finish strong.

Because of you lingers so many unfinished task, and these shackles just chained you , you are not able to fulfill those plan, so cluttered that you can't see the vision God has placed you, cannot run for God. In the end you got stress up and frustrated, tip and fall.

Once you completed a task. YOu just want to hear these words. " Well done, good and faithful servant(Matt25:23).Then you know the voice is worth it.
