On Saturday morning i woke up and decided to just pray. Now i write down my prayers just so I can look back on them and see what God has done.(Something I encourage everyone should do). I reread that one today and it really just stuck with me. We need a heart for God. You notice that all that is after that is a period. If we Love God with everything, all else will fall into place. Just like when Jesus said to Love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbor as yourself. Guys thats all we need to do. Imagine what our world would be like with those two things at the forefront of everyone's minds. Just imagine. How amazing it would be if we all did these two simple things.
Now for my prayer. I was going to write it all on here, but didn't feel the need. Here is one sentence from it. May it stick in your minds.
"Let me be set-apart, sanctified, by You, from this world."
Not of this world has become such a seen but not paid attention to symbol. But its so huge.
So in conclusion, pray that you would be able to die to yourself and be sanctified.
Live for Jesus.

So this is the New Year
Hello Folks.
After a good 7 days of snowboarding in a row, I am pumped. It has been so much fun.
The 4 days of School that followed were definitely a mood killer though.
But Tuesday and Wednesday nights made up for all the boredom of school.
Tuesday night, at The small group i go to we were planning on starting the book of Acts for the new year. After Worship we started to pray, and we didn't stop for a little over an hour later. It was amazing to see the way the spirit of God moved. We prayed for a revival like no one has ever seen before would take place in Camarillo. That people would turn to Jesus and just fall in Love with Him like the guys in that room had. We also prayed for the boldness, strength and courage that it will take for the Christians here to have to do this. Its going to be insane, but God ordained, so i am stoked. Please keep that in your prayers, that Revival would be known here, and that God would work mighty miracles.
Now for Wednesday. At Switch on Wednesday, our youth pastor, Seth, wanted to start off the year differently, setting a pace for the year to come... A night of worship.
We opened with three songs which i kind of just sat through, off in my ow world. But then Seth came up and started to tell us of the tradition that they have at his old church. At the beginning of the year each person would get a card with a bible verse or passage on it. This verse would be just another testimony on what God has or will do in our own lives. Seth encouraged us to read it monthly or weekly or even daily, and just meditate on it. Basically just watch and see how God is going to work in our lives through that verse, something totally prophetic. The verse i pulled was Psalm 1:1-3. Oh man how it spoke to me from the get go.
1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.

or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
This passage in every way had meaning in my life, something i'll save for another time. But for now i encourage you to read it, meditate on it, then pray. Pray to a God that is Always Listening.
God Bless,
Zach
