DEATH TO SIN!! . . . NOT SIN TO DEATH!!


Romans 6:6

We know that our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin


There are things in this life that we need to bury. We need to draw up execution papers for the things in our lives that do not please GOD. For when we put our efforts into sin we reap death. However GOD is faithful. GOD planted his own Son in the earth so that we could become the fruit of eternity. We are the work of his hands and he has spent all of history trying to restore. . ., no, recreate us into new creatures. Are you willing to lay those “things” down in order to pick up your destiny!

It will hurt and be uncomfortable. But once you have put those former things to rest you will be ready to proceed into the larger things GOD has for you. These are the times that GOD is calling us to follow his Son into eternity. Do not let anyone define you by your past. Your past is nothing more than a testimony of where GOD has delivered you from. You are not your past, or your present situations. In fact they don’t matter. What does matter are the moments to come. The moments GOD has ahead of you are what you are preparing for right now. The old ways we used to bear in our flesh where the angles Satan used to hold us back. Set them down and embrace the person GOD is preparing you to be. Never settle for who you were! Keep pressing towards the mark GOD has set before you and never look back.

Just as there are things to bury, there are things we need to keep alive. Love, hope and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and love for our neighbors in this world are the acts that encompass all of GOD’s expectations for us. You don’t have to be a mega church pastor,famous author or public speaker to make a difference in this world. Love is a rare thing in this world. Show it! It can and will make a difference in this life and the next.


Be encouraged

I love you always and in all ways!


Rev. M. Harrison

HARVEST TIME!

Galatians 6:9 New International Version (NIV) 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Have you ever been working, waiting, or standing in the gap for anyone? In such times of testing and prayer did you ever think how easy it would be to give up? It seems that while we are going through we loose sight of the goal GOD has set before us! We focus on our discomfort and take the burden onto our own backs instead of leaning on GOD's everlasting arms. The struggle itself is not the problem. However, our main problem is our human condition. We cannot do it all on our own. We must constantly look in the mirror and remind ourselves that we are not alone. . . Ever! We must remember who our GOD is. GOD will never allow you to go through a problem without bringing you to your blessing. It may take more time than you would like to endure. However the outcome and harvest gained is what's needed. If you are ...

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint" (Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV). Do Not Grow Weary In Waiting!!! I have realized that we live in a society that has trained us to have everything "right now" and our way. We have become experts in getting our children to stop having temper tantrums. We grow weary when we even think about how long something may take. And the thought of working through a rough patch in our lives and marriages seems like the thing not to do. I mean!! Half of our marriages end in divorce. How can Christians fight for marri...

LOVE. . . EVEN WHEN IT HURTS!

John 4:7-8 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.  _____________________________ It sounds so easy! “Love one another”! But it is a task that takes practice and the Holy Spirit working within us to accomplish.   IT is easy to love a friend or a family member. Those who are good to us make it easy. But what about our enemies? How can we love them?   This verse does not exclude our enemies.   Those who push our buttons need our love the most.   Those who we must pray for daily need to see Christ in each one of us.   And please remember to others we are that person that needs prayer as well. Bottom Line: Loving others the way GOD loves us is not an easy task. It takes the spirit of GOD working in side of us to accomplish.   It takes the death of the old us and the new nature of Christ living in...
