LIVE LIKE YOU BELIEVE!!!

Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2 NLT

If I am saved and I believe in You, then why do I act brand new?

As a Christian I know and have faith that GOD has my life and well being in his hands. I know in my heart that if GOD brings me to it he will bring me through it.  But time and time again on my worst days I feel a weight on me as if the future and its uncertainty blocks the light of GOD's plan for my life.  My flaw is the need to know how and when GOD will do what he will do.  And if I cannot see the "hows" and "whens" of life then I can start to panic, and worry.

Panic, worry, and fear are things people in the world do who don't know that GOD has designed a path and goal for their lives.  The constitution says that as an American we have the right to "Life , Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Jesus says that he is "The Way the Truth and the Life". The bible says "Where the spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty".  The whole message of the the bible is that Happiness is perusing us!!!!! GOD did not give his life for us, nor hold us up just to let us fall.  He loves us and for His names sake will keep us.

This is what I have to remind myself on a daily basis by staying in his word and listening for his voice in every situation.  By Renewing my mind I am in a better position to let go and let GOD!!  I know GOD has a plan for me. I have to surrender my will to GOD's will. GOD will show us a path. GOD will tell us where, and when to move. GOD will even tell us where the path leads. However each step is ordered by GOD. HE will tell us when and where to place each foot along life's journey. I do not blog about things that I do not struggle with myself. I know that the future and what it brings can be a source of worry, especially in these time of financial stress.  However I want you to remember so many people put their faith in the Dollar, (whose value is backed up by nothing, and is nothing more than a faith based currency) and not the one who (by his words) holds the world and universe together. If any of you can read Genesis Chapter one and believe what GOD did in creation, then having faith that GOD can bring you to your goals and dreams (and give  you goals and dreams) shouldn't be a problem.  Sometimes we can have more faith in the chair we sit in than the GOD we believe in.

Be encouraged, For GOD never sleeps and spends all of his time planning and protecting you. There is one thing that GOD cannot do. GOD CANNOT FAIL!!!!!

I love you always and in all ways.

Rev. M. Harrison

COMFORT IN THE VALLEY!

Isaiah 40:30-31 New King James Version (NKJV) 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, 31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. In the short time that you have in this world you can expect to be tested. You should look for it and know that you will have valleys and mountain tops along the path that you walk as a Christian. It may seem that the path gets more and more narrow. It may seem that you come across another path that seems to lead you to easier terrain and a location with “greener grass”. Do not be fooled or discouraged. With each season of testing GOD allows you to experience, there will be a season of recovery and spiritual growth. When you are in your valley you can rest in the fact that you will have to go up a hill to reach the mountain top. And the higher the mountain top the l...

KNOW YOUR ROLL!

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. JERM 29:11 What is GOD Calling you to do. Are you seeking GOD's purpose for your own life or are you riding the coat tails of another? For years I fought the call of minister and pastor because the calling ran in my family. I wondered "am I projecting my own will into my life?" Was I only following my earthly role models? GOD does call us to respect and look to those soldiers in Christ that have answered their call of ministry. However GOD calls us to seek his will for our own lives. He has a special unique plan for each of us that is not designed after or a copy of someone else's. We need to stop saying the following: I want to be a pastor just like _______! I want to bless other financially just like_______! I want to be blessed just like ______! We should say this instead: I want to be like Christ when I be...

RETURN!

Luke 15:20 20 And he arose and came to his father. But while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. ________________________________________________   Some of us have struggled for so long with issues and the trappings of life that we have a desire to change, and break free, but we don’t know where to start.   We are also afraid of what it really means to be free from the struggle that has accompanied us for so long in our lives. . . We ask and say: “Well, Lord If I break free from, (adultery, obesity, smoking, lusting, alcohol, sex) what will I have to fight next? What will I have to focus on next?   I don’t know what freedom really feels like and that scares me!” These feelings are normal and truth be told, these feelings are some of the reasons we have relapsed back into our familiar activities.   However GOD has always been watching you.   Even before you accepted Chri...
