FOR REAL OR FAUX-REAL


2Cor 13:5 (NIV)

Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test?

__________________________________________________


Many of us are comfortable siting on the couch of Christianity.  We go to church and love to claim membership in the Kingdom of GOD as His children but never ever dare to examine and test ourselves.  Yes it is easy to judge and test the situations of others but it is rare that we put our own hearts and faith on the line.

            It is about time that we regularly ask ourselves: Are we really living a life that expresses our alliance with GOD?  Are we really going to be counted in that number?  The answer to those questions should flow from your life!  Are you using Christianity as a mask to cover your true nature, or does Christ truly dwell inside of you replacing the old heart of sin?  To be filled with the real nature of Christ you must first let go and empty yourself of the fake and sinful nature of your flesh.  Take the time in every moment of your life to turn to GOD. Ask GOD to prune you daily.  Ask Him to renew your heart and mind and never ever shy away from Spirit led self-evaluation.  If you are willing God will shine a light on the areas of your life you need to sweep and clean out.  Be encouraged and keep it real in Christ Jesus!


I love you always and in all ways.


Rev. M. Harrison

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...

TIME!

James 4:14   Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. __________________________________________________________ Our plans and plots are events that we try to cram into the short time we have on this earth.   The term YOLO is very true.   We only have one life, and one short chance to live and make a difference in this world.   When we make plans for our lives we are, at best, looking at a very small slice of time.   Our time is like a seed.   A seed is small!  Yet it will leave a legacy that will be manifested in the tree and fruit that is produced.   The seed will die but what it leaves behind speaks to what was planted.   What have you decided to do with your time?   Strive to let your life edify God and leave a legacy of love via your life of expression.   Express the gift that God has given you through His son Jesus Chris...
