[Jim Penner gives the message: [begins with joke] : "...police car ...waiting for speeders..car going 22 mph on 60 mph ...ladies in car..she insisted she was doing the speed limit ..no, that's the highway # ...cop asked why the ladies in back seemed so nervous..oh they'l be ok..we just got off hwy 119 ..God says "call on me.." God will reveal things to u thru prayer & scripture..I will not stand on the pulpit without asking god..this week lord revealed to me,,reminded me..to share..this will change your life...profound..once I tell u can't go back..."you are god's chosen people..u r royalty.." celebrate that ? First cousin of royalt..u r royalty..that's powerful..some of u saying "that feels good'..like warm honey on warm bread ..others say,'if I'm royalty...I must be prince w/o kingdom.." ..I don't feel very royal.." some of u r being honest ..but doesn't change the fact that you become royalty when u accept Jesus ..its about god, not abt u ..ex. wife & I went to sta barbara ..took 101 back..as freeway turns inland, I didn't want to lose the ocean view ..decided to take pch back route ..went up windy rough road..at one point behind dump truck ..suddenly his backup lights come on ..I'm flustered..can't get reverse ..suddenly I hear crunch..I say "bail out" ..he pulled away..didn't even see us...forgot abt ocean view..had to call insurance.... this is a lot like life..we have a dream..ask god to bless this dream..but we don't ask god if this is his dream for us...we follow our dream & then suddenly we say "god bail us out"..start. there...suddenly life transforms
John 1 "in beginning word ..all things thru Him..in Him was life..light of men.." its all about god..blessing from him..change your paradigm ...& amazing things will happen ..u think u need new car? Does god think u need a new car? Start w/ god ..don't end w/ him..what happens when god's plan does not look like your dream for yourself..that's when u need to build faith ..things going haywire..is god punishing me ? ...this is resonating..we ask why god? Trust god who gave u the dream.. god's journy might not look like your journey but u will end up in the same place anyways.. look at joseph...sold to slavery..found by pharaoh...accused by pharaoh's wife..sent to jail..interpret dreams..forgotten..later interprted dream raised up..eventually his own bros bowed down to joseph..look at the denbesten family...surely they didn't think this was not what they thoiught was god's plan..[but eventually it turned out good ..] ..waiting patiently..eagles scripture..wait on lord shall renew strength ..what happens when waiting...some of u..looking 4 job, trouble w/ rships..ur in waiting mode..what do ? Pray..psalm 40 ="put a new song in my mouth.." .also praise god..past week ..I was having a rough day..turned off radio..started praying..didn't know what to pray..just started singing..Jesus..something abt that name..when sang ..I felt like Jesus was giving me a hug..said earlier..u r royalty ..sit up a little straighter..but even price princess ..."
