EVERYTHING YOU HAVE!!!!

Matthew 13:44

"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a
field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to
get enough money to buy the field.

                What do you treasure? In this life your actions will give proof of
what is closest to your heart. Whether if it is money, sex, family, or
success it will manifest in where you spend the majority of your time. As
you traverse through the corridors of your life the lessons learned along
the way will shift your focus to new realities and passions.  If you get
married and have children you naturally will begin to think long-term and
prepare for a future that includes your spouse and children. If you begin a
career of professional sports you will invest in coaches and trainers to
perfect your skill and talent. All these things deal with the temporary and
temporal things of life. Family and occupation are noble causes and show
maturity however in comparison to eternity and its Master it is but a pit
stop on the path to the ultimate reality in GOD.

                I know your time if filled chasing, and maintaining the treasures of
this world. Treasures than can be corrupted, die, and or replaced. Jesus
gives us an example in this parable of the paradigm shift each of us will
encounter when we truly recognize what GOD has offered us in the kingdom of
Heaven. When you think of sacrifice and what you have given up to reach some
of your goals, (i.e. the freedom of a single life traded for marriage, or
all the time invested in school to obtain the professional position and
status of a particular vocation), they should all be worth giving up in
order to achieve membership in the kingdom. Not that you have to give up
your family, or vocation, but you should be willing to.  You should be
willing to sacrifice it all because, like the man in the parable, what you
have found in Christ is worth everything you have to give. Being an active
Ambassador of the Kingdom of GOD should become your new passion. Your old
treasures should become assignments given by the King to exercise your
position of Ambassador and representative of Christ.

         Bottom line: If you truly recognize and give GOD the place he
deserves in your heart, then you should live a life professing and
expressing His authority over you.  Release the habits of the old man and
recognize GOD as the treasure that is worth every inch and corner of your
life's possessions and ambitions. Take this moment to give yourself away
totally to Him. Serve him! Represent Him in all that you do. Give GOD
everything!

I love you always and in all ways.

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...

LAW OF LOVE

Galatians 5:13-14   13  You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14  For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” _________________________________________________________________   Today I want each of you to look at your life!   Let your life answer the following question:   Do I serve myself, or God?   Remember GOD is love and by serving him fully you fulfill the law of love as expressed by Christ.   If you are serving yourself then there is no room for the law of love.   In essence, when we serve ourselves, we have replaced God’s will with our own. Service of others is the life and example that Christ has given.   True worship is more than what you say, sing, and shout in church.   True worship is a relationship with God that leads to a life of love express...

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.   ...
