LOOKING IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES!!

Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen!" Luke 24:5b-6a

Before we were saved we spent all of our lives searching for something. We search for things to fill that anoying void that is deep within us. We look for food, jobs, spouses, friends, degrees, and happiness. But when we got saved we found "it". We found that one thing that can turn the tide in our lives. However once that search was over a new one should have began. We should be looking towards Jesus and seek after His wisdom.

So essentially we will always be a race of seekers. When we are in the world we seek things that cannot sustain life. But when we find Jesus we recieve life and begin to seek a closer understanding of His word and will in our lives. This new search enhances and guides our journey towards GOD's destination . It will speak to all the other choices we have previously sought. In other words instead of looking for your spouse, now you are praying GOD prepares you for the spouse that he will deliver.

With that said I have one question. . . Why is it, even after all the time we spend with GOD, and know that He is the only one that has the answers, we still "look among the dead for the living"? We wrestle with the choices before us, and then consult every wordly source for an answer instead of calling upon the name of GOD. Sometimes GOD is the last one we consult. Thats like allowing plumber to perform your open heart surgery. As silly as that sounds it is running rampant in the body of Christ today!

We go back to the place that is familar. When there is a test we run to the world instead of GOD's word to get a peek of the answer. Today is the day that you should commit to truly searching for GOD's advice and appointment in your life. Jesus has come into your life to hold your hand everystep of the way. Remember if life were a test, God would be your teacher and is willing to share all the answers with you. Look for the answers of life in the words of the "Way, Truth and the LIFE" Jesus Christ.

Be Encouraged.

Remember I love you always and in all ways.

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...

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.   ...
