Persons of Influence

But now, this is what the Lord says—
    he who created you, Jacob,
    he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
    I have summoned you by name; 

    you are mine."

Isaiah 43:1

 

We believe in what orthodox Christians have believed for centuries: the Apostles Creed and all the important doctrines. (The "main" and the "plain.")

My name is Alycia, it means truth.  When I was young I didn't like my name, I wanted it to be my mom's name, Kathleen, so that's what I told people when I was five years old.  I was raised in the church... I truly desired a relationship with God, but I gave up because I never felt good enough; I always felt condemned and that I did not have a place to belong, at church or at home, I believed a lie.  In my teenage years into adulthood I dealt with cutting, suicide attempts, anorexia/bulemia, cigarettes, alcohol, drug experimenting, immorality, divorce, educational acheivements, miscarriages, social climbing, living in the future, living in the past... going to church, I most always went to church.  I had finally had enough of myself, nothing was getting me out of the pain I was running from.   Feeling broken, crushed, and hard hearted - 
 
"FAITH... AN EXTREME SPORT" run your race, allow your name to glorify his name  FAES...It.  
THE NAME THING:  Learn who he has named you,
EXPLORE: The wonderful gifts and characteristics he has placed into you,
NOW WHAT:  Enjoy His presence in you and listen to him speaking over you, 
WORK IT OUT:  Run the race by loving the process of becoming who he has created you to be,
JUMP:  Into all he has predestined for you
GOD MOMENTS:  Along the way you will have amazing, intimate moments which will shape and mold you into the amazing person you are
I like to know about the person before I trust what they are speaking into my life. I wanted you to know who has shaped and formed mine.

3.  Jesus to be #1 Scripture:                                                                                           X

 

I Cor 8:6  Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things come and for whom we live; and there is but on e Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live

Eph 1:5 He predestined us to be adopted as sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will

Eph 2:19-20  You are fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.

Heb 3:1 Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess

Heb 12:2  Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning it’s shame and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God

I Jn 2:16 Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did Prayer: 

 

Dear Father, I lift up Kelly and pray that Jesus would be foremost in his life. I pray for him that he would know and believe there is but one God, our Father, from whom all things come and for whom we live for; that he would internalize there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ through whom we live.  God you said you predestined us to be adopted as sons through Jesus Christ according to your pleasure and will.  I pray Kelly would complete the destiny you have set before him to please you.  I pray you would miraculously and daily set your will before him.  Impress upon him that we are fellow citizens with God’s people and members of Gods household built on the foundations of the foundations of the prophets and apostles and that Jesus is the chief cornerstone of our lives in the kingdom of God.  I pray Kelly would share in the heavenly calling to fix his thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest in whom we confess is our Lord.  Let him fix his eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning the shame and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.  Father, I know Kelly professed Jesus as Lord and I claim Kelly to live in you and walk as Jesus did. 

 

In Jesus name, Amen
