Week 6

During our 6th week we had the pleasure of hearing from Don and Barbara Johnson. They are the founders and leaders of the Nicaragua YWAM base. This week’s topic was about the Nature and Character of God. Nature meaning He is all-powerful, all knowing, always present, etc. and His character is how He reveals His nature to us. Many believers have the belief that God is angry and judgmental but in contrary, loves us as a perfect creation given free will to chose Him or not. In not choosing, He is saddened at how deceived we have become as a nation that puts its trust in other worldly things. But only out of love as a true parent would have for their child, much like the story of the prodigal son. To be like something or someone you have to know what they like, dislike, how they act, etc. What’s your idol right now?; cloths, spouse, child(ren), money, house, drugs? I remember my mother always telling my brothers and I that we will turn into those people we associate with. Now I know what she was talking about. We were created for an awesome purpose and if we continue to ignore this we will end up dissatisfied with life in general. Seek Him often (prayer, reading the Bible, quiet times, long walks in nature, praise/worship, whatever appeals to you), listen to what He says, and most important obey your calling.
