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!

COMFORT IN THE VALLEY!

Isaiah 40:30-31 New King James Version (NKJV) 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, 31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. In the short time that you have in this world you can expect to be tested. You should look for it and know that you will have valleys and mountain tops along the path that you walk as a Christian. It may seem that the path gets more and more narrow. It may seem that you come across another path that seems to lead you to easier terrain and a location with “greener grass”. Do not be fooled or discouraged. With each season of testing GOD allows you to experience, there will be a season of recovery and spiritual growth. When you are in your valley you can rest in the fact that you will have to go up a hill to reach the mountain top. And the higher the mountain top the longe

RETURN!

Luke 15:20 20 And he arose and came to his father. But while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. ________________________________________________   Some of us have struggled for so long with issues and the trappings of life that we have a desire to change, and break free, but we don’t know where to start.   We are also afraid of what it really means to be free from the struggle that has accompanied us for so long in our lives. . . We ask and say: “Well, Lord If I break free from, (adultery, obesity, smoking, lusting, alcohol, sex) what will I have to fight next? What will I have to focus on next?   I don’t know what freedom really feels like and that scares me!” These feelings are normal and truth be told, these feelings are some of the reasons we have relapsed back into our familiar activities.   However GOD has always been watching you.   Even before you accepted Christ and before you even a

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.
