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.
Rev. M. Harrison

NEW BEGINNINGS

Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert   Some of us are stuck in our present and being held back by our past.   We struggle with what might be and what “was”, all the while God is shining a light on the door that leads into a place of renewal and challenge.   The question is; Why do we hesitate to turn the key and accept the challenge? We must be open and faithful to the plan of God in our lives.   In o ur past and present we have developed a perceived control, but our future is totally in God’s hands.   We need to recognize and accept that in all things God’s will needs to be done.   Do not let fear, and uncertainty become the stumbling blocks that motivate you to sway from God’s plan.   Be bold and accept his will and way for your future.   Look for his guidance and leave the past where it belongs.   ...

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 ...

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...
