TEMPTATION

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. ______________________________________________ Do not flirt with the very thing that tempts you.   Do not play with the fire that would consume your life and destroy the peace God wants to place in your life.   Each time you flirt with your temptation your new spirit gets a little bit weaker and your old flesh gains more ground.   This will happen until you give in and are left wondering; why am I here again?   Do not let yourself become a victim of sin!   Instead live victoriously by turning away from the things that tempt you.   Live each day one righteous decision at a time! I love you always and in all ways. Rev. M. Harrison  

FOR REAL OR FAUX-REAL

2Cor 13:5 (NIV) Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test? __________________________________________________ Many of us are comfortable siting on the couch of Christianity.   We go to church and love to claim membership in the Kingdom of GOD as His children but never ever dare to examine and test ourselves.   Yes it is easy to judge and test the situations of others but it is rare that we put our own hearts and faith on the line.             It is about time that we regularly ask ourselves: Are we really living a life that expresses our alliance with GOD?   Are we really going to be counted in that number?   The answer to those questions should flow from your life!   Are you using Christianity as a mask to cover your true nature, or does Christ truly dwell inside of you replacing the old heart of sin?   To be filled with the real nature of Christ you mus

WHAT BLESSINGS?

Jeremiah 17:7-8 "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD And whose trust is the LORD. "For he will be like a tree planted by the water, That extends its roots by a stream And will not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, And it will not be anxious in a year of drought Nor cease to yield fruit. __________________________________________ Some believe in their plans.   Some put stock in their investments or their relationships they have established in this world.   Others build houses and fill them with all the things that they think makes their lives better.   There is a hole that man is trying to fill and a destination that man is trying to reach.   Without God that hole will never be filled and that destination will never be reached. Do you want to be blessed and lived a blessed life.   I am not talking about a life that lives on thoughtless and careless hope?    I am not talking about a life where you have no problems or pain.   The bless

LOVE. . . EVEN WHEN IT HURTS!

John 4:7-8 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.  _____________________________ It sounds so easy! “Love one another”! But it is a task that takes practice and the Holy Spirit working within us to accomplish.   IT is easy to love a friend or a family member. Those who are good to us make it easy. But what about our enemies? How can we love them?   This verse does not exclude our enemies.   Those who push our buttons need our love the most.   Those who we must pray for daily need to see Christ in each one of us.   And please remember to others we are that person that needs prayer as well. Bottom Line: Loving others the way GOD loves us is not an easy task. It takes the spirit of GOD working in side of us to accomplish.   It takes the death of the old us and the new nature of Christ living in us to truly understand how to do!
