YOU ARE RENEWED!


Corinthians 5:17,
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a nw creature: old things are passed away; behold all thi ngs are become new."

How do you answer the following Question?


WHO ARE YOU?


Do you answer that question based on your past actions? Do you formulate your answer considering your current situation?  When you look within yourself and the mirror of your soul, who or what is staring back at you?

 The bible says that a person's life is more valuable than all the riches in the world. Even with your past and current struggles, GOD values you. GOD does not see you as the person you were. He only sees you through Christ, the author and finisher of your faith. Jesus has filled the gap between your past and your glorious future.

 Why live defeated? Why put your mind and effort into justifying your past. Why let the memory of the dark times in your life rule over you.  Satan uses the shadow of your past to create strongholds that keep you from seeing the truth. He takes the time to use your past to build a case against you, in hopes that you will judge and condemn yourself to death.  If he can do this, and steal the truth of GOD's love and forgiveness from you he can block you past from becoming a testimony that will save others.  You see Satan is afraid of you figuring out who you really are in Christ. He wants you to live in the past. Satan wants you to walk backwards in life.  The question is . . . when will you say enough is enough?

I challenge you to leave your past behind you. I challenge you to see yourself in the light of GODs love.  Live a life that justifies GOD's love for you.  Redefine yourself and never look back.  Speak the Word of GOD into your life and let GOD renew you daily and direct your eyes towards the glorious future the Holy Spirit pushing you to.  Let the strongholds in your life crumble and fall.  And in their place raise up new fortresses of hope, peace, forgiveness, joy, and maturity as a testament to the gift of salvation fully recognized in your life.


Be encouraged you are new in Christ.

I love you always, and in all ways.


Rev. M. Harrison

Never Lose You!

Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? _____________________________________________________ The world would have you believe that it has all of the answers.   The world will tell you that what you see, hear, feel, touch and smell is all that is real and worth living for.   But you may not know or understand that living for the rewards of this world come at a cost.   The world’s influence, when used as the blueprint for living, takes your heart and shapes it to its will leaving you an empty shell of who you really are. Nothing in this world is worth changing who you are in Christ.   There is no middle ground in the issue.   Yes, we are all a work in progress and live in this world, but who we are is not dictated by anything or anyone in this world.   Who you are is worth more than whatever this world has to offer.   Do not chase the image the world is selling you.   Unless...

NO MATTER WHAT!

Jeremiah 17:7-8 But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." ______________________________________________ Watching the news and living in a world that seems to have given way to fits of pandemonium it seems as if hope is in short supply.   Each week we get reports of shootings, world hunger, sickness and corruption.   How can anyone be truly blessed when the world is going down.   Like a neighborhood that once was the cream of the Crop that has begun to be run down, our world needs a revival and rejuvenation.   This time and moment are the birth pains that will give way for that revival.   No matter what the world news is reporting! No matter what you hear or see! No matter what tools Satan employs: ...

TIME!

James 4:14   Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. __________________________________________________________ Our plans and plots are events that we try to cram into the short time we have on this earth.   The term YOLO is very true.   We only have one life, and one short chance to live and make a difference in this world.   When we make plans for our lives we are, at best, looking at a very small slice of time.   Our time is like a seed.   A seed is small!  Yet it will leave a legacy that will be manifested in the tree and fruit that is produced.   The seed will die but what it leaves behind speaks to what was planted.   What have you decided to do with your time?   Strive to let your life edify God and leave a legacy of love via your life of expression.   Express the gift that God has given you through His son Jesus Chris...
