“SEVEN WORDS THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE” 01/19

1 Corinthians 15:51-53 (KJV) 51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
What in your life would you ask God to change? Would it be the situation that you are in? Would it be your health? Would it be your financial state? Would it be your employment status? Would it be your marriage or relationship? What in your life do you need God to change? We often seek God to change this or change situations in our lives but rarely do we seek God to change us. God’s desire is for us to call out to Him to change our hearts and our lives. Probably one of the most fearful, and uncomfortable realities of our lives is regarding the area of change. It doesn't take long to look, and see that everything around us, has, and is, constantly continuing to change. Today as we celebrate Martin Luther King Day, a man whole changed America. From which tomorrow America will change again as Barack Obama takes the Presidency. And on Wednesday America will change, yet again. CHANGE! We are asking God to change this and change that but Oh! Lord! Do not change me. Everything can change around us but we are not unwilling to change ourselves. If things in our lives are not the way we believe God intended for us maybe it is time to change. Jesus spoke seven simple words that will bring change into our lives. These seven little words will bring you out of whatever you are in and begin to change your life, forever! “Not My Will, Your Will Be Done”. Just imagine, putting the will of the Father before your own. Choosing to live for God rather than living for the world. Jesus even taught us to pray this way in Matthew 6:9-13 “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, [10] your kingdom come, YOUR WILL BE DONE on earth as it is in heaven....’ ” “Not My Will, But Your Will Be Done”. In whatever situation you are faced with just pray… “Not My Will, Your Will Be Done”. Many of us are looking for God to change something in our lives. But Oh! Lord! Do not change me! But if you take these seven little words and put them into action you will change. “Not My Will, But Your Be Done”. Change me! Oh! Lord! Wash me and make me whole. “Not My Will, But Your Be Done”. CHANGE! Have a blessed week, In Jesus’ Name… Amen!

“Truly Giving Thanks”

Monday, November 23, 2009 Colossians 3:17 “Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Truly Giving Thanks! I hear people proclaim that they thank God for this and thank God for that and I often wonder do they really mean what they say? Do folk really thank God for waking up in the morning? Do folk truly thank God for use of their right mind? Do folk really praise Him they way he deserves to be praised? For me, I believe most people say it because it has become custom and ritual rather than meaningful. Evident by the way most folk who proclaim these things live their lives. Actions speak louder than words! Folk say they thank God yet they do not live for him. For example, ever seen an award show and a popular performer receives a Grammy. They often begin their acceptance remarks by saying “First, I give honor to God.” But the recording and video they performed represente

WAKE UP

Monday, October 12, 2009 Acts 12:5-11 5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. 6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. 7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. 8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. 9 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision. 10 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on

“SPEND - SPEND - SPEND”

ISAIAH 55:1-4 1 "Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink, even if you have no money! Come, take your choice of wine or milk, it's all free! 2 Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen to me, and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the finest food. 3 "Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen and you will find life. I will make an everlasting covenant with you. I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David. 4 See how I used him to display my power among the peoples. I made him a leader among the nations. I cannot believe what Christmas is turning into. Stores were open on Thanksgiving Day, Decorations were up in October! All of this in an effort to entice us to spend, spend, and spend! Yet there are people spiritually thirsty and dying of spiritually malnutrition. Nothing offered on sale can ever compare to what God has to offer us. SALVATION! People are out there looking for hap
