OVERCOME!!!


Romans 12:21
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.


What is your struggle? What stands in your way?  Many of us deal, with something day in and day out.  There are things in this world that pester us to our very core and in essence we just learn how to operate despite of this struggle.  We stare it down each day in the mirror, and push it deeper inside in order to keep it from spilling into our day to day lives.  However, it is still there and manifests itself in many ways.

Some struggle with, anger, gossip, and even insecurity.  And in these times the world will only re-enforce it and if you are not grounded, and or seeking GOD’S face daily you will end up feeling alone and at your ropes end.  How can you concentrate on Loving your neighbor and GOD if you are constantly looking within yourself hating what your struggle is turning you into?  What do you do when your struggle has been with you so long you do not even know how to give it to Jesus? This is where many of us are today. We have become functioning Christians. We can focus just long enough to do some of GOD’s will.  But this is not enough. GOD wants our full attention on him and his agenda for our lives.  He wants to take that struggle from you. He wants to remove your insecurities.

Do not hold your problems inside. Do not let yourself become a functioning Christian. Rather become a producing Christian. Become a Christian who looks in the mirror and sees a saved person, and not a person who is trying to live up to being saved.  I myself have had to ask GOD for forgiveness. I am always trying to be the best I can and do not like to feel as if I have failed at anything.  GOD has shown me that failure is a part of the journey.  GOD has given you the opportunity to learn from your weaknesses. Remember that GOD is the author of all things, including your life.  God wants you to know, more than anything,  no matter what you do or say He will never fail you.  Be encouraged!  Take comfort in knowing that GOD can remove that pain. GOD can correct you and the thing you fight against daily. You are not alone! With GOD you can overcome anything.

Remember I love you always and in all ways.


Rev. M. Harrison

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 be...

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...

LAW OF LOVE

Galatians 5:13-14   13  You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14  For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” _________________________________________________________________   Today I want each of you to look at your life!   Let your life answer the following question:   Do I serve myself, or God?   Remember GOD is love and by serving him fully you fulfill the law of love as expressed by Christ.   If you are serving yourself then there is no room for the law of love.   In essence, when we serve ourselves, we have replaced God’s will with our own. Service of others is the life and example that Christ has given.   True worship is more than what you say, sing, and shout in church.   True worship is a relationship with God that leads to a life of love express...
