SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE PLEASE!

Psalm 46:10(NIV)
 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”


GOD IS ASKING YOU TO GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN SO HE CAN WORK!


     My wife will be the first one to tell you that I can cook really well. However when my wife is in the kitchen I have a tendency to get in her way. Most times things flow better for my  wife when I am not trying so hard to inject my "help" into her process.

      She asks me politely: " Honey please step aside so I can finish what I am doing."

     What she really means  is: "Will you get on;  and sit down somewhere! I know what I am doing and I do not need your help!"


     There is no love lost in this seamless transaction that is understood fully by myself with just a simple respectful request and look that is unmistakably firm.  And I would be a fool to continue my course of action after what she said has been fully understood.


      It is no different with GOD. Believe it or not, GOD is in control.  GOD does not rest or sleep. GOD is resting from his acts of creation until the end of days, but he is still in the miracle business and holds the universe together with an unlimited power.  Even though we know this as Christians we are still in the Kitchen of our lives trying to help GOD finish the dish of our hearts desire. Instead of sitting back in faith and watching the master at work and waiting to be served the dish of life He is preparing for us, "we" give suggestions and even try to push GOD out of the kitchen." We need to "BE STILL and Know that HE is GOD". GOD is the Master chef of our lives. The word CHEF in French means the "person in charge or Boss" of the kitchen.  He is the Master of all Nations, and of all  creation. He is able to do all the things that you would consider to be impossible. So I ask are you giving GOD the position of CHEF in your life's Kitchen. If not, please do! And when you do, sit back and watch in awe at the work of the Master's hands.

Remember , I love you always and in all ways.

Rev. M. Harrison

    Too many times we think that God needs our help, that is NEVER the case. When God wants to use us, He will. Until then, we need to stay out of the way.

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...

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...

LAW OF LOVE

Galatians 5:13-14   13  You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14  For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” _________________________________________________________________   Today I want each of you to look at your life!   Let your life answer the following question:   Do I serve myself, or God?   Remember GOD is love and by serving him fully you fulfill the law of love as expressed by Christ.   If you are serving yourself then there is no room for the law of love.   In essence, when we serve ourselves, we have replaced God’s will with our own. Service of others is the life and example that Christ has given.   True worship is more than what you say, sing, and shout in church.   True worship is a relationship with God that leads to a life of love express...
