Victorious.

I have not been posting as much as usual..which makes me sad. But here we go!

My school is huge. We have like 3500 kids, and so that means the hallways get pretty crowded...cuz the school itself..I mean it's big, but it isn't HUUUGE. So one of the biggest pains is going down the stairs or getting through the sea of people during passing period or when it's time to go home.
So the other day I was walking down our main staircase and I just saw a SEA of people-obviously, made up of teachers and staff from my school. And then God brought this verse to my head.

"By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear. They will say of me, "in the Lord alone are righteousness and strength'"  -Isaiah 45:22-24

When God's work is done here on earth, on HIS timing, every single person that has ever walked the earth will know and confess that Jesus is Lord.

And that's why our God is so great!
Jesus came, born in a manger. yeah, we hear that every Christmas time, but think about it. Even his BIRTH was a complete picture of humility. He came as a servant. One of my favorite parts of the gospels is when Jesus gets down and washes his disciples feet, a job, again, fit for a servant. And then he died for our sins.
Guys, HE is the SON OF GOD! He didn't have to be a servant, and he most certainly didn't have to die for us, but he DID.
And here's the thing.
He's coming back.
And he's coming back to DOOOMINATTTEEE..
"I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called faithful and true. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire and on his head are many crowns. he has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepresses of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty." Revelation 19:11-15


God is so stinking powerful, and He is SO amazing! And as followers of Christ, we can have hope because we know that the Lord is coming back, and He is completely just, and in the end every single person will confess that He is LORD! Whenever I get caught up in worries or I start to feel like Satan is winning the battle..I remind myself that God has already won! I have felt so attacked lately-with doubts, anxiety, whatever! But God is coming back, and not only is He coming back, but He's with us right now. And think about this. He isn't just 'with' us.
He KNOWS us.
He knows every single part of us.
Here's a little bit from Psalm 139!

"O Lord, You have searched me 
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
You perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down; 
You are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O Lord."
Psalm 139:1-4

This God? he is powerful. He is all knowing. I mean you saw-Revelation 19? He pulls a sword out of HIS MOUTHH. He is the creator of the universe, and he is Holy, Holy, Holy.
And not only that, but he humbled himself and came to earth as a servant.
He died for us, because He wanted to know us. And not just 'know' us..not like mutual facebook friend kind of thing..you know, when you add someone and you just kind of know them.
No, he came so he could intimately know us.
Because he lvoes us more than we could ever imagine.
I feel like if someone were to ask me why I loved the Lord, it would be because of that reason. Because even though I'm so sinful, He still loves me...And he wants to know me..He wants to know EVERYONE.

I've gotten into this thing where I just like to go for walks. I'll sometimes take my phone and listen to music, other times I'll just walk and pray. It's just time for me to spend with God. Well today I was walking and in my head I just said, "Jesus, I love you!"
And then I realized. When I say that...I know he's answering back that He loves me too(:
This God is so big.
Tell your friends about Him.
Don't stop telling people. Because He's coming back.
He's coming back to win a war.
A war he already won.
