RESTORATION


Hosea 6:1



“Come, let us return to the Lord; for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down, and he will bind us up."

 
This life and our existence is, no doubt, a journey.  From the womb to the grave GOD is revealing the plan he has chosen for us and we are moving through each day living and responding to the situations GOD is placing upon us.  We wonder what the next chapter will hold, or why GOD has allowed us to experience pain and loss.  But GOD is preparing us for His work in this fallen world.  You see since the fall GOD has had you (and everyone else) on His mind and began a work of redemption that included sacrificing his own Son to pay debt that sin had caused.  GOD ultimate goal is to restore us and show us he loves us.  This world and our passage through it are a story and journey of restoration.

With that said, every moment and situation of your life are points of transition. God is pulling, tearing, and knocking us down in order to build us up bigger and stronger than before.  This action is a vision of the transition and transformation that awaits all who love him in the world to come.

I want you to go through every storm knowing that your pain has a purpose.  I want you to realize that your hardships are part of a plan.  Even death will lead to a new existence.  So if you are in the middle of a storm or life altering chapter in your life, remember when you are getting torn apart, or knocked down, GOD will build you back up.   God will heal you and restore you. 

 

I love you always and in all ways.


Rev. M. Harrison

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...
