Day 2: Made in Gods image

READ: Genesis 9:6 and James 3:9 to see again, that we are made in Gods image. Also read Romans 3:10 and Romans 3:23, which shows us, that men are still sinful and not like God in their morality. Where are you in your life? Are you living in Gods image? Take time to think about that.

WRITE: Try to answer some questions: In what ways are humans different than animals? In what ways are we like God? In what ways are we not like God? Write down some areas in your life, where you’re not living in Gods image.

SPEAK: Tell God about the areas you are struggling with. Ask for His help and His forgiveness. He is there for you. Tell him what’s on your heart, your sorrows, thoughts, feelings.

Day 3: God made me and he knows me. Psalm 139

READ: Psalm 139: 1-6 and see how well Jesus knows you, whatever you do and wherever you are., he knows your heart, cause he created You. Isn’t that great?

Day 4: Do you hide from God sometimes?

READ: Psalm 139:7-12. Notice what David writes about hiding from God. Did you ever try to hide before God?

If you don’t feel made beautifully, pray that God might show you this. Ask Him to show you how much he loves you. Tell Him how you see yourself. And ask Him to help you see yourself through His eyes.

You can rely on Him alone.

Day 6: God has precious thoughts about you

READ: Psalm 139:17-18. Try to think about the thoughts that God has for you right now. Think about the grains of sand and compare it with the number of Gods good thoughts about you. What kind of thoughts does God has for you? What kind of thoughts do you have for yourself? What are the thoughts of other people over you? To which voice are you listening?

SPEAK: Tell Jesus what you think at the moment. His thoughts about you are so precious. He thinks you are just beautiful.

Big Adventure: I am a Princess – a child of the highest King ~ by Lisa Bruder from Germany 2009

Day 8: God is our King

READ: Psalm 47. We want to read about God, as our King now. Notice how David describes God, how he calls Him and how excited he is about His God. What picture of God does this psalm give you? What characteristics come out of it? What is the job of a King?

SPEAK: After you read this psalm tell God about what you think of Him. Tell your LORD most high everything. He is the King – give Him all the praise. Ask Him about the questions you have and what you don’t understand. Remember, he loves and knows you anyways.

LISTEN: Now let the King speak to you. Stand in His presence, in His throne room and let Him show you who He is. Write down what you hear.

WRITE: Write down, what part of this verse you like the most. Write down how you actually see God and what picture you have of Him and His character. Do you see Him as the King? Is He the King – the ruler – of your life? Or are there areas in your life that you don’t want Him to rule over? And things YOU like to have the control. Bring it all to God and surrender it all.

Day 9: God is the Alpha and the Omega

READ: Isaiah 44, 6-8. While you’re reading think about God being the first and the last. Have you ever felt like the first or the last? And think about if there is anyone else like God. Is there anything in your life that is like a little God for you? Does God come first for you?

SPEAK: Now take time to pray to God – to speak to Him. Tell Him your fears and thoughts. These verses tell you not to be afraid. Cause God’s always with you. What are the things you are still afraid of? Where do you still tremble?

LISTEN: Again, stop talking or thinking now and try to listen to God and to His answer. He wants you to know that He is with you – you are safe in Him. Feel His presence.

WRITE: Write down in what ways God is Israel’s King and redeemer. The verse says, “apart from me, there is no other God”. Write down where in your life you may still have other “Gods”, that are more important than God. Maybe those are things that you’ve put before God. Ask Him for forgiveness and bring those things before Him.

Day 10: The character of God

READ: Jeremiah 10: 1-16. Notice how God is described in this passage – powerful. Notice also God as our creator again. What are the descriptions you agree and don’t agree with?

SPEAK: Speak to the King again today. Talk to Him during your day too, when you lay down or when you work, walk, or think. Come to the King of Kings. Think about Gods power and might in your life and thank Him for that. Thank Him for those times where He has shown His character an might in your life. You can always pour out your heart to Him.
LISTEN: Now let Jesus show you His power and His presence. Let Him speak to you. Come to the feet of the King and seek Him. He is worthy and holy.

WRITE: Write down, where you have seen Gods power in your life? Write down where you’ve seen the King’s might in the lives around you or in the world! Write a letter to God thanking Him for His might and blessings on your life.

Day 11: Seeing the King

READ: Revelation 19: 11-16. Read it out loud and imagine you see this by yourself. Think about standing in awe of the true king one day and seeing this with your own eyes. Isn’t that wonderful. One day, you will stand before the King and see Him face to face. Are you excited about that?

SPEAK: Tell God how you feel about this strong picture. Tell Him your thoughts and fears. Ask Him questions. Give Him your prayer requests. Tell Him about people in your life. The King is there to listen to you.

LISTEN: Let Him answer you now. Try to listen to Him and let Him show you his glory and majesty.

WRITE: Write about God as the King of majesty. Is this how you imagine God – riding on a horse? Write some adjectives about God’s character that fit to this picture in Revelations. Also write down how you feel about seeing God one day. Are you ready for your King to come? We don’t know when this is going to be, but we should be ready!

Day 12: Jesus is the King of the Jews

READ: Mark 15: 1-26. We now want to look at Jesus – the King of the Jews today. Imagine you would be in His position. What would you do if they asked you this question: “Are you the King of the Jews?” Imagine being one of the people in the crowd. What would you do? What would you do, if you would be Pilate?

LISTEN: After reading this passage, take time to just meditate on it. Think about it and let God show you what it means, let Him reveal himself to you now. Listen to God, the King of the Jews. He loves to spend this time with you.

WRITE: Write down what God is telling you. Write down your feelings, your thoughts and sorrows. Is Jesus your King? Also write down, what happened in the last 24 hours in your life. What did you learn, or experience?

SPEAK: Now take this time and rest in His peace. Tell Him everything you want. Bring your prayer requests before Him. Have a conversation with God, your King.

Day 13: Crucifixion

READ: Mark 15, 27-47. As you read this passage, always have in mind, that Jesus did all this for YOU, because you are his beloved daughter! Try to picture this situation! How would you feel, if you would be Jesus’ friend or mother? Can you imagine the pain he suffered?

SPEAK: Thank God for this offering. Jesus was crucified, humiliated and tortured and He did it all for you, so you can be saved, forgiven, and have eternal life. He died, so you can become his beloved child. Thank Jesus again for dying on the cross for you. Speak to your savior.

LISTEN: Listen to the King now. He wants to pour out His love over you. Write down what you hear.

WRITE: Try to remember when you have first received, that Jesus died for you. Think about how excited you were about it. Are you still excited about your savior? Are you still receiving his grace and forgiveness daily? Write it down. Write down what the cross means for you. This cross, where you can be healed, restored, saved, loved and forgiven.

Day 14: John 3:16-21

READ: John 3:16-21. Remind yourself again today, what Jesus did for you. You will have eternal life if you believe in Him. Think about light and darkness. What does it do? And where do you see yourself and people around you living their lives in?

SPEAK: Tell Jesus about whatever is on your heart right now. Talk to Him about the areas you struggle in. Ask Him for forgiveness of your sins. The bible says in 1.John 1,9: “If you confess your sins, He will be faithful and just, to forgive you your sins and purify you from all unrighteousness.” That’s His promise for you. Tell Him about your sins – things, that you maybe try to hide in the darkness, so it doesn’t come into the light.

LISTEN: Be close to Jesus right now. Receive his forgiveness, love, peace and life now. His arms are wide open for you to come and be close to Him. Listen to what he wants to tell you. He wants to make your heart pure again.

WRITE: Write about the areas in your life, where you are maybe still living in the darkness. Write down, where Jesus has set you free in the past and lead you into light. Also write down where you can be a light in the lives of others and help them come into the light. Write about your feelings, experiences, and thoughts.

Day 15: Living according to God’s spirit

READ: Romans 8:9-16. Read this passage and ask yourself if you are living your life like this. Christ has set you free, so you can now live according to His word and His Spirit. What does it mean to live according to His spirit?

SPEAK: Now speak to God about it and look again at the verses 14-16, where it says really clearly, that you are Gods child. Thank Him for that. Talk to Him about your life and about your relationship to Him. Tell Him about your fears, and struggles, where you are still living according to the sinful nature. Ask His spirit to fill you and guide you in life.

LISTEN: Listen to your Father now. Come to His throne and receive his spirit. Be lead by the Spirit. He wants to hold you in His arms, like a little lamb (Isaiah 40,11). Open your heart now and receive what He has for you.

WRITE: Write down, were you are still living according to the sinful nature and also where you see Gods spirit moving in your life. Write down how you feel in the arms of your heavenly father. Do you feel like a child of God? – snug and secure? Also write about your experiences in the last 24 hours and the things you don’t want to forget.

Big Adventure: I am a Princess – a child of the highest King ~ by Lisa Bruder from Germany 2009

Day 24: How can you live your life now – knowing that you are a princess.

READ: Hebrews 12,2. Knowing now, that we are princesses, look at what the bible says about living your life. Think about what it means for you to fix your eyes upon Jesus. What are the things you fix your eyes on in life?

SPEAK: Speak to God about situations in your life, where you have not fixed your eyes upon Him, but on other things. Ask Him to help you in those areas. Ask Him for guidance in your life. Speak to Him about everything else, that’s on your heart.

LISTEN: Now, let Jesus – the author and perfecter of your faith, the One, who endured the cross and now sits down at the right hand of God – speak to you. Listen to Him.

WRITE: Write down, what you’ve heard from God. Write down a commitment or a promise to God, that you want to try to fix your eyes upon Him and not on things, that are not important. Write about your experiences and observations in your life or in the lives of others. Write down, where God is working in your life and anything else you don’t want to forget.

Day 25: The fruit of the Spirit

READ: Galatians 5: 18-26. What does it mean to live according to the desires or according to the Spirit? How can you be lead by the Spirit? What are the fruits of the Spirit and the deeds of the flesh?

LISTEN: Shhh. Only listen to God now. Let Him speak to you.

Day 27: A woman who fears the Lord is to be praised

READ: Proverbs 31:30. Write down answers to some questions: What is charm? What is beauty? What does it mean to fear the Lord? What is the fear of the Lord? What is important to YOU? What is important to God?
This doesn’t mean we are not allowed to be pretty and dress up nicely, but it shouldn’t be more important to us than God.

WRITE: Write down the moments when beauty and charm was more important to you than fearing the Lord. Write down the moments when you were just in awe of God and feared Him. Where in your life can you see people, whose essence of life is it just to be beautiful and charming. What is the essence of your life?

SPEAK: Speak to God about your life. Remember, God has created you so wonderfully and unique. You are so precious to Him and His little daughter. Tell Him where you are still struggling accepting that. Ask Him to help you fear Him more and not worry about being beautiful on the outside. Tell Him everything that’s in your heart.

LISTEN: Now let God tell you how beautiful you are and let Him show you what it means to fear Him. Listen carefully to Him. He wants to tell you what’s important in life. He loves you so much.

Day 28: Beauty comes from the inside. God calls us to live a holy life.

READ: 1.Peter 3:3-5. Here it talks about what real beauty is. You know now that God has created you beautiful. But how are you living it? Do you see a gentle and quiet spirit in yourself? God also calls you to live a HOLY life. Also read 1. Thessalonians 4:1-8, which talks more about a holy and pure life.

WRITE: Write down your thoughts about these verses. Also try to think about a person you consider as beautiful or pure. What is it that makes her beautiful? What is she known for? Do you see a gentle and quiet spirit in those people? What about you? Do you know what makes YOU beautiful and what you are known for? Write down the areas where you struggle with purity as well.

SPEAK: Talk to God about having a beautiful character and being pure. Ask for His help to live a holy and pure life. Tell him about your issues and your lacks in life. Tell Him everything that’s on your heart.

LISTEN: Listen to God, your King right now. Let Him tell you His precious thoughts about you. He knows you so well and He wants to bless you, encourage you and speak love and acceptance into your life. God also wants to help you grow, forgive you and help you see yourself through His eyes. Be before your King’s throne now and listen to His voice.

Day 29: Sometimes we’re too busy to meet God.

READ: Luke 10:38-41. Here we have our last example of two women in the Bible. How do they want to please God? What’s the difference between Mary and Martha? Are you more like Martha or more like Mary?

WRITE: Write down when you’ve been more like Martha and when you’ve been more like Mary. Where in your life do you make compromises and do other things first before you spend time with God? Are you distracted by anything? Does it hinder you from coming before God? Write down what you think. Also write down the things you don’t want to forget in the future!

SPEAK: Now stop being busy and take time to be before your King. You can lay everything at the foot of the cross. Ask God for forgiveness in those times, where you have chosen to do something else and not to spend time with Him. Make a decision today. Make a commitment. He has a lot in store for you if you give Him the time to reveal and show it to you.

LISTEN: Just like Mary did, sit before the Lord’s feet and listen to what He has to tell you. Don’t be distracted anymore, but be in God’s presence right now.

Know who you are complete in Him. You’re a beloved, forgiven, sanctified, beautiful, and precious little princess! His child. You can always come into His arms. Always. He is waiting for you. Never forget what you’ve learned in those last weeks and what the Bible teaches you! You can live your life knowing that He is true and His word is the truth.

LISTEN: You are a princess. A princess that lives in God’s kingdom! You can now come again before His throne and be quiet. Try to come before Him every day! Let Jesus be your life. Be lead by Him and His Holy Spirit. Have open eyes and an open heart to see God and receive from Him. He has so much in store for you and a great plan for your life. Take time in your life to be with Him and listen to Him. Chose everyday to live a life worthy of your calling. Grow in Him and in His word and never stop seeking Him. Thank Him for the great love that He has proven to you on the cross. Surrender your life daily. Chose everyday to love your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.

God bless you, princess! Lisa Bruder (Please find me on facebook and let me know you completed this Big Adventure!)

The BIG ADVENTURE Explained

By Dan & Suzie Potter

 

There are many adventures one can take in this life, mountains to climb, oceans to navigate, animals to tame and space to explore, but the greatest adventure is bigger by far.  It is the daily interaction with almighty God.  This adventure is all about a real friendship with Jesus, made possible by a loving Father through the mysterious and marvellous work of the Holy Spirit.  The adventure is so grand that we can only call it “BIG.”  God will never by climbed, navigated, tamed or fully explored, yet He wants to be known and be near.

The “BIG Adventure” is your daily experience with the eternal power and knowledge of all life.  Are you ready for Adventure?  God doesn’t want to just be observed from afar, He desires intimacy with us.  How do we participate in this BIG Adventure?  Like all great friendships it requires time and communication.  Not because we have to, but because we want to.

There are four areas to explore in the BIG Adventure, each one is important in the friendship process.  It does not matter the order of communication or the amount of time spent in each area.  The important fact to remember is God wants to spend time with you each day.  Do you want to spend “God Time” with Him?

Your Love Is Better Than Life

October 3rd, 2009 by DUZIE received No Comments »

I was in the car today listing to an older CD by the Newsboys and song number seven was playing and I could not stop listening to it. It was saying so many of the things running through my head. The song is “Your love is better than life”. Here are the lyrics, video and you can down load it on iTUNES. enjoy!

I dunno nothing that I haven’t been taught,
I dunno why I was born into the family I’ve got,
I dunno if I ever had an original thought,
maybe not, maybe so, maybe later, I dunno
I dunno how I can end a prayer, then turn on a friend,
I dunno what I was thinking when I just pressed send,
I dunno why I still criticize the things I dunno
I dunno, I dunno, I dunno, but this one thing I know

YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I’m just a broken machine
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, it’s all a mindless routine
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I’m in another free fall
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I’ve got nothing at all

I dunno what goes down the moment we die
Do we get halos & harps? Do we sleep? Do we fly? I dunno
how, when and why this world will finally end,
Speculation’s gonna grow, who knows best, I dunno
I dunno if I should push ahead or stop and grieve,
I lie awake and wonder how to make a city believe,
Your Love Is Better Than Life Lyrics
I dunno when it’s a ministry and when it’s a show
maybe neither, maybe both, I dunno, but this one thing I know

YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I’m just a broken machine
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your touch I’m not a full human being
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
If I should ever leave, where would I go?
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
I look to you ‘cause you’re the lover of my soul

HERE’S TO THE LOVER OF MY SOUL
HERE’S TO THE LOVER OF MY SOUL

I dunno when to walk away or stand and fight
just when I’ve got it wrong, I’m sure I heard you right
and when my arguments are watertight you expose every hole with a flash and a flood and I know
I hear you call in the eye of the storm and I know you’ve had my back since the day I was born still
stoking my heart
still stirring my head
you’re my pillar of fire
you’re the wine, you’re the bread, and

YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I’m just a broken machine
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, it’s all a mindless routine
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I’m in another free fall
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I’ve got nothing at all

YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
I dunno nothing that I haven’t been taught, I dunno why I was born into the family I’ve got,
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
I dunno if I ever had an original thought, maybe not, maybe so, maybe soon, maybe later, I dunno
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
I dunno when I’ve got it right or wrong, I dunno how I can wrap it in a four minute song, but I know
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
My grip is better when I’m not hanging on, your love is making us strong (all along)
Your love is better than life
