So, I feel the need to escape my busy and constricting life for a couple days and clear my mind a bit, but I don’t know what to do or where to go. I just want to get up and go do something completely random and spontaneous on my own that wont involve a bunch of money… not like a vacation, more like an adventure or experience. I live in Southern California… anyone have any free-spirited ideas for me??

The word of God is like a piece of soap. The purpose of the soap is to wash away all dirts from your body. But it does not serve its function if it is not used or applied. Similarly, the word of God is useless if you do not apply it into your life. In this article, we will talk about the Holy Spirit and I hope in so doing, it will educate your mind, move your heart, and motivate your will to inspire you to represent Jesus in the marketplace in a new way with a renewed mind.
Acts 9 & Luke 4
In Acts 9, it provides a background to the conversion of the Apostle Paul. Paul, before he was converted, he has a passion of killing Christians. His mission was to source out the Christians and gets rid of them. On the road to Damascus with a mission to kill Christians, Jesus got hold of him. He had a personal encounter with Jesus and this turned his life around. In Acts 9:31, it stated that as a result of Paul’s conversion, he started to preach about Jesus being the Christ. The churches throughout all Judea, Galilee and Samaria were greatly edified by Paul’s teaching. The churches became united and multiplied. They became stronger as the believers lived in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Notice that there were two things at work here in the churches to give them strengths and increase. It was:
1. Fear of the Lord
2. Comfort or Encouragement of the Holy Spirit
What do you mean by the fear of the Lord? This fear is not talking about being frightened. It is about reverence, a reverential fear and respect of God. The believers were living in that mindset of reverential fear, honor and respect for God. It was this reverential fear, honor and respect for God that guided their daily lives, their choices, their relationships, their speech, and their thoughts. It means that their daily lives were lived in constant awareness of honor and respect for God. They lived in an awareness and consciousness of the presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
Because of these two things, the church multiplied and grew in the Holy Spirit. On the day of Pentecost, Peter said quoted the words of the Prophet Joel that in the last days, God would pour out His spirit upon all flesh. Through that very event, it introduced us to a new season in which the Holy Spirit will be the Administrator of the presence of God. Jesus called the Holy Spirit, the Lord of the Harvest – the saving of souls, the redemptive works of God, and the transformation of individual hearts. Without compromising your values and your conviction, the Holy Spirit is the one who seizes and arrests the hearts of individual. He is the One who cause the transformation of the hearts of the individuals.
Is this any different in the ministry works of Jesus? No. In Luke 4:18, Jesus announced that the Spirit of the Lord was upon Him and He has anointed Jesus to preach the gospel to the poor, to set the captives free, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord and the season of God’s grace. Before Jesus began His ministry, God announced him as His beloved Son and He was led by the Holy Spirit to the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Jesus was brought under specific tests that are critical to every leadership. The success and effectiveness of Jesus’ ministry in the next three years was because of the power and the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
What is true for the success of Jesus’ ministry is true of the success of any ministry today. The Holy Spirit comes to anoint the leadership and the ministry. God began to move us in the power and comfort of the Holy Spirit in order to give it the strength and the increase. You cannot do any ministry and be successful without the anointing of the Holy Spirit. It is important that we give Him as many tools as possible to use us. Hence, education and training are important. Those these tools, the Holy Spirit show us the opportunity to move up in our career so we are in places of influence to cause change.
How does the Holy Spirit use these tools in us to cause change? Look at this in the part 2 in the Sermon Alive at http://www.sermonalive.com

If a man makes a good amount of money is it that important to him that the girl makes lots of money too? or that she went to college? what if she is a hard worker, makes decent money, has never had any problem supporting herself? plus a fun, nurturing, humerous, attractive person? not a dumb person-actually a pretty intelligent person, just didn’t go to college…
if he has a big successful job and a degree or whatever, does it matter if she never went to college or that she isn’t necessarliy pursuing some big dream, but in fact lives more day to day (lives for the day) and doesn’t have any plans to change that?
Is that free-spirit a turn-on? a turn-off?

A weekend in Las Vegas may be a well-planned escapade or a spur of the moment’s decision. Whatever was the inspiration, the casino adventure that awaits you is as thrilling as earning free casino bets online. Online casinos are as much fun as real casinos, but then the choice is yours.
Choosing the Right Casino
Selecting the casino should be top priority if the idea of a weekend in Las Vegas is appealing. Your search should be as vigilant as your hunt for the best online poker sites that offer the games you enjoy and the eternal free casino bets and other freebies you cannot refuse.
With literally dozens of casinos lining up the ritzy boulevards in Reno, you have to be very specific about your choice considering the following equations:
* How long are you going stay for a gambling vacation?
* Do you want the most exciting poker tables?
* Do you prefer those killer poker machines?
* Do you want the upscale scene or the little off-road joints?
* Do you want compensation or points that can redeem your meals, hotel rooms, shows and casino/hotel merchandise?
* Are you staying with friends or getting hotel rooms?
* Are you a smoker or not?
These questions and then some can help you filter the casinos before you commit to a weekend in ritzy Vegas. You’re on a gambling holiday, not on a poker kamikaze mission; thus, budget your money for an enjoyable stay, including hotel, food, poker games, and some shopping and sightseeing on the side if you can scrounge up the energy to squeeze a lot of activities in between table games.
There’s more fun in a real casino compared to playing online at home. You meet new friends, see beautiful girls and dashing hunks, and drink the casino’s best brews and spirits. If and when you’re fed up with the games, you can eye other adult fun activities in the Vegas strip.
Online Casino Fun
But if the thought of moving your **** down to Vegas for a weekend of poker games is too much, your option are the online casinos that offer different poker games and free casino bets credited to your account once your sign up. Once you click on your choice of online casino, you’re ready to roll the dice.
There are different offers of free casino bets ranging from $100, $250 and up to $900. After signing up, you can get your free bet and play any of the games featured for table games, slot games, and video poker. You also have the option to play for fun or for real, but you must be 18 years of age before you can enjoy playing any of the games, even for fun.
Members of online casinos can choose to play table games – Black Jack, Euro Roulette, Three Card Poker, Baccarat, European Black Jack, and Craps; or slot games of Bullseye Buck, Hole-in-One, Cash Inferno, Fruit Party, and much more. With your free casino bets, you can play any of these games, and you have the chance to win to win big!
One bonus with online casinos is the chance to play in different currencies using select credit cards, and other web-based cash accounts to help you manage your withdraw and deposit options. Whether you’re in Hongkong or in Dubai, you can sign up and play away after you grab your free casino bets.
