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 become what GOD is calling me to be!

We need to realize that we should not covet anyone else's anything. We should pray for and expect the unique blessing and purpose GOD has for each of us! There should be no carbon copy Christians. The only person we should emulate is Christ. The only thing we should covet is the opportunity to serve the Father as Christ did. . . Even unto death! When you see someone who has arrived where you would like to go, listen to their testimony and learn from their journey. Know that there was a valley before they climbed the mountain and reached the summit. Keep in mind that their journey is not your journey and their mountain top is not yours. GOD has a path and assignment that is just for you. He picks his best soldiers for His toughest missions and of course he has a specific mission for you.

It doesn't matter if you mission is big or small. The only thing that matters is your commitment to it. Do not think that just because of your perceived small beginning that you will have a small finish. Also do not assume that the big finish is always a the best ending. The best ending is the one where you are filling the shoes that GOD has set before you. Be encouraged and know that no one can do what GOD is asking you to do, . . . Like you! Yes GOD can get it done without you but why should he have too. He has spent your whole life preparing you for this specific moment. It is your moment, . . . Your time. . . And your destiny!


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.   ...

Be Encouraged!!

Ready or Not: Here Life Comes Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. I am starting this blog in response to the excuses I have had as to why I am not doing more for the kingdom of GOD. I have been in the USAF for 7 years and have been a studying to become a Chaplain and pastor for the past 7 years. I have been called into ministry for the past 17 years.. I have had a strong pulling in my soul to serve in full time ministry and have let myself put up blocks in my mind because of my commitment to my country as a military member. This showes a weakness in my heart and mind. I realize that just because I am not a full time Pastor or in "fulltime ministry" does not mean I do not have the opportunity to minister on a daily basis. Realize that no matter where you go or what you do there are opportunities to share GOD's word and work for him. ...

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...
