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

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 ...

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. ...

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...
