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.

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...

NO MATTER WHAT!

Jeremiah 17:7-8 But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." ______________________________________________ Watching the news and living in a world that seems to have given way to fits of pandemonium it seems as if hope is in short supply.   Each week we get reports of shootings, world hunger, sickness and corruption.   How can anyone be truly blessed when the world is going down.   Like a neighborhood that once was the cream of the Crop that has begun to be run down, our world needs a revival and rejuvenation.   This time and moment are the birth pains that will give way for that revival.   No matter what the world news is reporting! No matter what you hear or see! No matter what tools Satan employs: ...
