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

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...
