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

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 ...
