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

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...

Never Lose You!

Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? _____________________________________________________ The world would have you believe that it has all of the answers.   The world will tell you that what you see, hear, feel, touch and smell is all that is real and worth living for.   But you may not know or understand that living for the rewards of this world come at a cost.   The world’s influence, when used as the blueprint for living, takes your heart and shapes it to its will leaving you an empty shell of who you really are. Nothing in this world is worth changing who you are in Christ.   There is no middle ground in the issue.   Yes, we are all a work in progress and live in this world, but who we are is not dictated by anything or anyone in this world.   Who you are is worth more than whatever this world has to offer.   Do not chase the image the world is selling you.   Unless...

COVERED!

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:7 Even though we know better, do we live parts of our lives in secret as if GOD is not watching. We need to ask God to shine a light on the areas we need to fix.   Yes we need fixing. Just as no man could throw the first stone at the woman caught in adultery, we cannot cast any judgment on to anyone but ourselves. We do not deserve  anything but death because of our sin. If we are dirty, and in no way worthy of GOD’s attention, then WHY!?!?!,.   .even though we deserve the stones to be thrown upon us does GOD cover for us.   In this scripture we are manifested in the face of the adulterous woman.   At one point in our lives we have chosen our way over GOD’s way. Realize that when we choose our way over GOD’s way that is sin.   Just as Satan sinned when pride entered his heart and he vowed to r...
