NEVER LOSE AGAIN!


1Jn_5:4  For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

 In life we lose. We lose jobs, friends, girlfriends and loved ones, to downsizing, time, and death. We lose ourselves in the opinions of others and the world. Some would say "That's life". But the word says "Php_1:21  For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain".  

What are we focusing on in this world? To many of us never learn how to lose. We are in essence "sore losers" who teach our kids to be "sore losers".  There is a old song that says:

"Little flowers never worry when the wind begins to blow. . . If it never ever rains then they will never ever grow."

 All of your troubles, set backs,and losses are not what the world makes them out to be. They are opportunities for GOD to work in our lives. And there will be plenty of opportunities for GOD to show up and out. As we Live in this world and become born again in the new life in Christ, we encounter the same conditions as the non believer. However we know that the worst things that can happen in the world are but temporary.  This world and our losses are not the final words in our story.  After we lose our lives for Christ, He gives us a new life. A victorious life!  There is no problem that can stop, or defeat you. Remember :

 1Jn 4:4  Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for He who is in you is greater than He who is in the world.

 Life in Christ means life without loss. A life of everlasting return for what the world has taken away. GOD has taken care and will restore all loss for all time.  The check that secured our victory was signed in the blood of GOD.  The gift of eternal victory starting today is just paradigm shift away. You have to be willing to let go of the things in the world you have been holding on to in order to receive this gift. Even as saved Christians we are like children who hold on tight to a penny when our parents are trying to slip us a 1oo dollar bill. 

Why hold on to loss when you can receive victory. Why hoard defeat for the sake of what this finite world has to offer when Jesus is offering eternal life. Don't settle for anything less that what GOD has for you.

Remember I love you always, and in all ways.

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...
