I have to say, there aren’t many movies I’ve seen more than three times, and yet Tom Cruise, with his cheeky smile and never-say-die maneuvers in Top Gun, keeps me watching that movie every time it comes out for free on the TV. TV. He was a Maverick and a guy who couldn’t be trusted to do things the conventional way that he felt life wasn’t fun unless you were doing flybys of control towers and spilling people’s coffee. Come learn how the Scriptures, understood and applied, can achieve your dreams of money, prosperity, answered prayers, and more!
Oh, I’m a bit of a rebel.
Why should I serve God?
I thought my father didn’t love me for most of my life.
My brother beat me for the first eight years of my life.
I fell in love with a girl and she just wanted to be friends and it broke my heart.
I was sexually abused when I was 14 years old.
I fell in love at 23, and was left broken and bleeding at heart at 27 with the girl of my dreams.
I lost my mind at 29 and had a nervous breakdown, and was diagnosed with manic depression (bipolar disorder)
I lost my son eight years ago when my wife remarried, and she said she couldn’t see my son anymore and God told me to go. I explain my reasons in another article.
I lost my mind again and was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. So now I had bipolar and schizophrenia. I address that in Four Good Things About Being Bipolar and Schizophrenic.
They tell me to throw out my first script, which I wrote in 2000, and Jesus tells me it’s too dark for people.
I was told to throw out my first 400-page Jesus novel in 2005, as you guessed it, “too dark,” as well as my second script about a serial killer.
Jesus told me to get off the medication in November 2005 and I was admitted to the hospital in March 2006. Crazy again.
I have a fake “holy spirit” posing as Jesus, an impostor demon that gets me into trouble, and it was only in August 2006 that I was told how to “test the spirits” and stop this deception.
November 2006 The real Jesus tells me to shut down the free prophecy site I love because He has other things for me.
I’ve had a life of people not listening to me and a life of people hurting me.
Two months ago a man tried to kill me and now I can’t go to my favorite place because God tells me that my life is in danger.
So why should I serve God?
Because His Son bled and died for me and God has a great dream for this broken man. Already 250 people a day read my articles and I already feel like a preacher. How do I feel now? It excites me that someone is listening to me and that people write to me thanking me.
You know that God has a purpose for you.
In the Psalms God makes a promise to all of you as Maverick!
Psalm 37:4 (New King James Version)
4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
You don’t have to give up your dreams and desires. You don’t have to sell yourself. You just have to forgive God and stop your stinky thinking, and learn to obey his commands and live a life that makes him smile with joy as you walk each day and obey him.
You have to go through all the practice like any athlete goes through gigantic hours of training for every race they compete in. I used to surf and I have to tell you that you cannot be fat and surf very well. The amount of paddling on a surfboard makes for big arms and a toned body and your arms will just want to fall off after a few hours.
It is the same with God.
If your desire is to serve Him full time, there will be a lot of rowing and you will need great character.
If your desire is something else, delighting in the Lord and doing things the way the Bible preaches will get you what the Scriptures promise.
You want money?
Don’t make an idol of it, but do you really want God to bless you with your business or your life so you can bless more people? Do you want people to love you and your products better than a similar business with the same offer?
Proverbs 3 (New King James Version)
1 My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commandments; 2 For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you. 3 Do not let mercy and truth forsake you; Tie them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, 4 And so you will find favor and high esteem In the eyes of God and men. 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
Do you want money from God? Give the best of your money and the first 10% to your church.
Proverbs 3 (New King James Version)
9 Honor the Lord with your goods, And with the first fruits of all your fruits; 10 So your barns will be filled with abundance, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
Do you want health and healing? Stop sinning and repent and ask the elders to anoint you. Proverbs 3 (New King James Version)
7 Be not wise in your own opinion; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil. 8 It will be medicine for your flesh, and strength for your bones.
Do you want to continue on the right path and that all your decisions are correct? Stop thinking with your mind and with the books and knowledge of man and learn to listen to the impulses of the Holy Spirit in your heart.
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6 Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will direct your paths.
Jeremiah 17 (New International Version)
4 Because of you, you will lose the inheritance I gave you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for you have kindled my anger, and it will burn forever.”
5 Thus says the LORD: Cursed be he who trusts in man, who relies on the flesh for his strength, and whose heart turns from the LORD.
6 It will be like a bush in the desert; you will not see prosperity when it comes. He will dwell in the dry places of the desert, in a salty land where no one lives.
He promised me that he would let me preach one day. Today at EzineArticles.com I am preaching, and people are reprinting my simple lessons on their own websites. That is fantastic. God led me here because of an email I received about website promotion, now I don’t even post on my website.
Do you want more keys?
Do you want your prayers to be answered?
Obey Jesus in everything He taught, and do what His Spirit tells you to do and you will remain in Christ and He will answer your prayers. He promise.
John 15 (New King James Version)
7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you. 8 In this my Father is glorified, in that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
Do you want to live to a ripe old age?
Proverbs 3 (New King James Version)
1 My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commandments; 2 For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you. Do you want to bear more fruit and be more effective for God as a witness on earth?
Proverbs 3 (New King James Version)
11 My son, do not despise the punishment of the LORD, nor detest his correction; 12 For the LORD corrects the one he loves, as the father corrects the son in whom he delights.
The better you are as a Christian, the more your branch will be pruned and hurt, and you will have to overcome and heal, and then your character will be better and you will be able to produce more fruit. Jesus says it.
John 15 (New King James Version)
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in me that bears no fruit, he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, so that it bears more fruit. 3 You are already clean. by the word that I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
Do you want to prosper in everything you do?
Obey God and stay away from people who don’t. Take God’s advice in the commandments and obey them and God will bless you in every area of your life.
Psalm 1:1-3 (The Message)
1 How good it must please God! He doesn’t go to Sin Saloon, he doesn’t sneak down Dead-End Road, he doesn’t go to Smart-Mouth College.
2-3 Instead, he gets excited about the Word of GOD, chews the Scriptures day and night. You are a tree replanted in Eden, bearing fresh fruit every month, never dropping a leaf, always in bloom.
Psalm 1:1-3 (New International Version)
1 Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor been in the way of sinners, nor has he sat in the chair of scoffers. 2 but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 It is like a tree planted by streams of water, which bears its fruit in its season and whose leaf does not fall. Everything he does prospers.
Jeremiah 17 (New International Version)
7 “But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is in Him. 8 He will be like a tree planted by the waters, which puts down its roots by the stream. It is not afraid when the heat comes; its leaves are evergreen 9 The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond all healing. Who can understand it? 10 “I, the LORD, search the heart and I examine the mind, to reward man according to his conduct, according to what his works deserve.
The leaves of your branch in Psalm 1 and Jeremiah 17:8 are for unsaved and hurting people to come for help and healing. Your leaves and fruits will always be available and you will not suffer, and hurt and broken people will always find answers with you. God will use you.
So kneel down and pray and take some of my medicine. The Word of God can heal you.
let me pray
Father, teach them the truth that all the answers are not found in books or men, but the Holy Spirit is good enough to teach, rebuke, and encourage every weary Christian, and even reach out to the unsaved. . God bless this message, give people a good kick of the truth here and encourage them to get out a highlighter and read the Proverbs themselves. I pray that you will anoint this message and allow it to be sent to the ends of this earth and that all Mavericks will forgive God and submit to His commands and direction.
In the name of Jesus I ask you
Amen
