Tonite I was reading a book entitled " I can only imagine" by Mercy Me. The book not the song. It was talking about Adam and Eve. I got to thinking ya know if Eve had just followed God and not eaten of the forbidden fruit like she was told then the whole entire world would still be perfect. There would be no sin and everyone would follow God. That is how God originally created the world and the people. But she have into that one little temptation and it changed everything both in her life and the lives other others and is still effecting us to day. All it took was that one little tempation to change the whole corse of her life. Then I began to relate it to todays world. As young people and adults there are alot of tempations out there for us. Sometimes we think " Oh I will just try a little" or " I'll just do it this time and everything will be fine and I will never do it again" but that one time leads to two times and two times leads to three and before you know it, it is becomeing a habit and you are backsliding from God. Just that one time is all it takes to change your whole relationship with God and your whole life.

In a more postivie aspect one single person could pray and ask for God to use them. They could focus on the things they do have and use them for the goodness of God instead of focusing on the things they don't have. Just by doing that they could brings a revial to a church. God will bless the things you do have if you will just thank him for them and put them to use. Hanna in the bible prayed and prayed for a son, God gave her a Son named Samuel and he littarelly changed the face of a nation. All it took was that one single prayer. That one man changed a nation. All we have to do is take that one stand for God and use the things he gives us and then he will continu to bless it and bless it until we have more and more to work with.

All it takes is one! One tempation! One will! One determination to work with what you have! Just one!

AMEN!
what did God say in Jeremiah?
he said if i can find a man, a man who executes judgment, i will pardon the nation.

he said A man....or in other words, just one man would be enough.
just one. all God needs is one man, to stand up and be faithful unto God.
but often were all like david in psalms 51 where he says to God "agaisnt you and you only have i sinned".
its easy to be faithful to the pastor, to our friends, to our family... wed bend over backward to do anything they asked... but God has to hope and pray well do all he leads us to do. its easy to become faithful to everyone but God, becuase we cant see him.

and in all the good we do, disobedience is disbedience is disobedience...
we try to cover it up by doing other things, but when we are simply not doing what the Lord told us to do, well never fullfill Gods perfect will in the earth, and God is not fooled and we will reap what weve sown.
