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

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...
