“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!

CHRISTMAS, A TIME OF GIVING!

May Jesus, the One who came for us, be the One who brings you and yours the joys of His incredible love! Jesus was given to us as the perfect gift! Merry CHRISTMAS! Isaiah 9:6 “ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. ” “Giving frees us from the familiar territory of our own needs by opening our mind to the unexplained worlds occupied by the needs of others.” Barbara Bush Let us pray… FATHER WE THANK YOU FOR THAT PORTION OF THE SCRIPTURES WHICH REVEALS TO US YOUR WILL AND YOUR WAY FOR OUR GOOD AND HAPPY LIFE ON EARTH.

My Grace is Sufficient

2 Corinthians 12:7-9 7To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surprisingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. We can't deny that there is suffering and tragedy in the world, suffering that is so often incomprehensible to us. We can look on a global scale, and see children being slaughtered for no good reason--or for any reason at all. In Iraq thousands of innocent people are being terrorized and tormented in the name of Islam. We can look on a national scale, and see friends and relatives of the victims of hurricane Katrina still trying to put their lives back together. And, most importantly, we can look on a PERSONAL level, and see our own...

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...
