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.

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...

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...

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...
