Rousey's Reflections

Rousey — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:00:08 +0000

Watch this video to the end!!!!! THIS IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT PEOPLE!!!!!!!! I pray it doesn’t take a catastrophe such as an earthquake to get our nation’s attention!!! II Chronicles 7:14!!!!!

I just want to be where “You” are…

Rousey — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:40:12 +0000

As we begin another busy week, I only have one desire..

It’s to be where YOU ARE JESUS!!!

Without Him, we are nothing. So today, I challenge you to take 5 minutes out of your very busy life and simply BE where HE is… Recognize His presence in your life, as He is already there. He’s omnipresent after all!!!

This video is of a young man that you may remember. His name is Ryan White, a simple Indiana boy who had Aids, before any of us knew anything about it. He stood up against all odds to live a normal life, and his resolve is absolutely inspiring. Here is just one of the things I heard him say once on an old talk show:

Like a herd of sheep

Well its that time of year again. The Colts will be playing the Saints on Sunday Feb 7th for the Superbowl championship. More chicken’s FEAR this time of year more than any other time, as there are more chicken wings consumed than anyone could ever imagine (including myself). However it amazes me how people are literally “sucked” into the time warp of the Superbowl or any other sports event. Believe me, I do my share of being “drawn” into it also, but I find it very interesting to watch human nature, and how people are drawn to such a time of intense battle on a football field or basketball court. It’s much like a bar, what makes people so excited to go to such a dark and lonely place? Well, it’s HUMAN connection and community!

The Lord told us in Hebrews 10:25 not to forsake the assembly of ourselves together, as the manner “of some is”.. In 21st century manner, he is saying that we shouldn’t forsake the assembling of ourselves together for worship, for instruction and preaching, and yes finally FELLOWSHIP and community. So, I am not necessarily saying that God commands us to get together, eat chicken wings and watch the Superbowl, but maybe I am???? So long as we don’t forget to put things first and remember not only who it is we serve, but that we serve someone who makes it possible for these men/women on the court to have breath and strength enough to perform in their sport, so we can be entertained..

By the way, just so there is NO confusion here.. THE COLTS ARE GOING TO BE SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There’s light at the end of winter

Rousey — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 21:17:41 +0000

Well, I think there must be some light at the end of the tunnel, or shall I say WINTER! It’s 40F today, which is a nice touch. God is moving in a mighty way as he always is, and there is just a glimmer of hope that this cold winter snap will last only 6 more weeks (thanks Phil the groundhog). Well, the Bible tells us to observe the signs of the times, therefore I think it’s proper to say that if there appears to be hope in the natural, how much more is there hope in the SPIRIT? Well, we just came off doing some fasting. I for one fasted a day of SLEEP, which if you know me at all you know that is a big NO NO! However, I did it for God. He has well responded to that sacrifice and I thank God for it.

Buck up under it little buckaroos, the light is just on the horizon, however it’s going to be day soon!

Protection — God’s way

Rousey — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 13:06:45 +0000

What would possess a thief trying to break into a vehicle from not taking several car cell phone chargers, personal information in the glove compartment, and an iPhone mount? Well, I have a quick answer for that one..

ANGELS!! God’s protective angels assigned to our home.

Seeing that inside the same vehicle were remotes to the garage door opener I thank God for protection this morning! Last night our neighborhood was the target of a couple of thieves. Not sure if they were professionals or not, but obviously from the results they were either looking for something specific or they were looking and for some reason got into my truck and were chased off. Apparently shortly after coming to my house they were caught and arrested.

Thieves, you had better think TWICE before you hit this house… Jesus and His precious Holy Spirit live here!!!!! Thank you protective angels assigned to our house for backing us up last night, around 3:15am… Even when I am sleepin’ you are taking care of us…

Explosive Words???

Rousey — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 12:04:25 +0000

Brit Hume, a well respected journalist recently said something that is very interesting:

“If you’re trying to find the two most explosive words in the English language, those two words are ‘Jesus Christ,”

JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! His name is life, His name is explosive in the Spirit against the power of the devil! His name is powerful, miraculous, atoning, redemptive, full of life, health, full of deliverance, more than we can put in words!!! His name is FULL OF TNT!!! In Acts 1:8, Jesus says:

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

The word POWER in this verse is the greek word dunamis, which means force, specifically miraculous power, ability, abundance, meaning, and might!! Brother, our gracious heavenly Father through our savior Jesus gives you power today to tread upon the power of the enemy, over our flesh, and be more than conquerors in our daily lives!!!

So Brit Hume, you are so right! Jesus Christ is explosive!! Speak His name today!! Speak His wonderful name in the midst of your mess, and watch God deliver you THROUGH the mess. What a testimony He is fashioning on our behalf!
