I Just Listened to a Sermon on 1 Peter

The sermon was titled 7 Secrets to victorious Living.  I wanted to summarize my notes to hang on my wall.  I used Creative Memories Software and some free downloads that I got on the internet to create a mini poster (8 1/2 x 11) to hang above my desk. 

If you are interested in hearing/watching this 2 part series it was by Bayless Conley.  I was watching a podcast that I had downloaded from May 8 & 15, 2009. 

Feel free to download this poster for yourself as a reminder of the book of the first letter of Peter.

Communication Between God and Man– FAILED ATTEMPT of my HUMANNESS!!

Well it has been a long time coming.  It is amazing how I, in my humanness, can get caught up in perfection (that is ironic).  How can any human be perfect?  I read through Genesis in the beginning of January making note of any communication between God and man.  Then I started to analyze what I had learned… God had impressed  on me a specific principle that had been seen in this book but I let my ideals get in the way.

I wanted to do a thorough study of each encounter between God and man.  When I was reading through the biggest things that jumped out at me were so clearly pointed out by the Holy Spirit as what He wanted me to get out of the book of Genesis.  Instead of writing the blog right away and focusing on those items I continued to try to find time to look at every aspect of what I had learned for another month with very little movement or satisfaction.

I felt most days like a huge roadblock had been placed in my way and I was not even able to focus on anything that Genesis had to say at all.  This is frustrating when I just wanted to move on.  Every time I sat down the same idea came to me in big bold headlines across my heart!   I just could not get past my own perfection and ideals that I wanted to exhaust every communication through Genesis. 

It is really foolish to argue with the Holy Spirit or to try to work beyond what He is asking and therefore working in your  own human strength.  So here I am, almost 5 weeks later, and finally admitting my own human limitations, ready to record what the Holy Spirit actually impressed upon me to record here when I first read through Genesis at the beginning of January… how ironic is that!!

More in my next post!
