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

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 l...

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...

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 Chri...
