Drop it!!!!


Ephesians 4:32 ESV Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

How can you love God, and still be upset with that family member that owes you 200 dollars from twelve years ago.  We say we would die for the cause of Christ and His gospel, but it would almost kill us to speak to the person who wronged us.

When this life ends, all of the wrongs and anger will fade away and all that you will face will be GOD’s judgment for how you spent you time here. How can you really believe that you have lived a life of love when your neighbor or your family member has been on your “ill will” list for the past 5 years. Don’t you think it’s time to practice the love you profess? It is time to stop letting hurt, pain, and un-forgiveness occupy your heart. How can you fully become what God has commanded you to be when this issue lingers in your life? When you hold that memory, and pain in your heart you give Satan a foothold in your life. You let that person have a power over your life. If you have held on to the past pain and anger I challenge you to move and pray for your own forgiveness.  

Forgive, even when you are in pain, Forgive even when you still are angry.  I am not saying forget or blindly love and accept whatever is done to you. Rather I urge you to go through the hope chest of your past and remove anything that does not add value to your future. Remove the stronghold of grudges and anger from your life. Remove that anchor holding you down and preventing you from fully learning the lessons of your past. Move past your past! Learn from it and then move on! Cherish it and then move on! Forgive yourself and others and then move on! Love, live, forgive, and pray! Let these actions become how you remember your relationships and past. Replace anger with love, grudges with lessons learned, and the memories of your enemies with the passion and love of God!

Be encouraged! 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.   ...

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...

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 ...
