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

HARVEST TIME!

Galatians 6:9 New International Version (NIV) 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Have you ever been working, waiting, or standing in the gap for anyone? In such times of testing and prayer did you ever think how easy it would be to give up? It seems that while we are going through we loose sight of the goal GOD has set before us! We focus on our discomfort and take the burden onto our own backs instead of leaning on GOD's everlasting arms. The struggle itself is not the problem. However, our main problem is our human condition. We cannot do it all on our own. We must constantly look in the mirror and remind ourselves that we are not alone. . . Ever! We must remember who our GOD is. GOD will never allow you to go through a problem without bringing you to your blessing. It may take more time than you would like to endure. However the outcome and harvest gained is what's needed. If you are ...

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint" (Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV). Do Not Grow Weary In Waiting!!! I have realized that we live in a society that has trained us to have everything "right now" and our way. We have become experts in getting our children to stop having temper tantrums. We grow weary when we even think about how long something may take. And the thought of working through a rough patch in our lives and marriages seems like the thing not to do. I mean!! Half of our marriages end in divorce. How can Christians fight for marri...

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...
