Stop the Negative Talk

Greetings to you My brothers and sisters, So often we down play who we are or the situation we're in. Where ever you are now in your life whether good or bad look at it as a process or preparation to your destiny. We are to pattern our lives after the Savior of the world Jesus Christ He had disappointments and set backs in His life but He didn't allow it to keep Him down, Also He experienced people talking about Him, calling Him names, even so called friends stabbing Him in the back but He kept His focus on the real purpose of why He came to earth. There is a purpose to your life a reason that God chose you. (Search It out.) We as a human race always use negative statements to give ourselves little comfort, statements like I can't win for losing well Romans 8:37 tells us Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. The word nay in the greek simple means Indeed  so let us read that passage like this, Indeed, in ALL these things we are more than just winners or defeaters through Him that loved us. So next time you face a disappointing situation say it like this I can't lose for Winning. Another one we use often is If I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have luck at all. Proverbs 18:21 states Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. I understand that to mean, Doom or Peace are in my tongue, so I can speak how I choose to live My life, that's not to say we won't have some misfortune in our lives but we have the power to control the outcome. Here's another one I always get the short end of the stick. My brothers and sisters we must be go getters. Stop waiting on someone to hand it to you, You have the ability to grab it yourself. Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. The word power means Authority to take what you want from the enemy. Many times I have heard Christians say I don't want nothing the enemy has, most of the time he has what belongs to us anyway, (Joy, Peace, Sanity, happiness, Our Children, Our Marriage, and even our Finances among other things.) So I admonish you to stop accepting the short end and grab the long end. One last statement I'm always the last chosen. Matthew 20:16 says it best, So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. You need to count your blessings that you are last.

Power to Change

In today's segment we will be discussing the power to change. (change what you may ask?, Yourself and those around us.) Let us look up the meaning of Power- ability to act or produce an effect,  : possession of control, authority, or influence over others, so if I'm understanding correctly, with power we have the ability and authority to change any situation. Luke 10:19 says: Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. The key part in this verse is that God has giving us all power over the enemy, so if we are exercising our authority, there should never be a time that the devil has the victory, whether it's in our lives or the lives of others. As Christians we find ourselves complaining about how this world is in bad shape, God has called us to do something about it, and that is to extend our God giving love to them. There are Men and Women that are bound and trapped in their minds with their identity and looking for a way out and we as a church is not offering them the way. John 14:6, Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. We are not offering them Jesus, we would rather judge them than to labor with that soul, we have more important things on our agenda than to see people giving their hearts to Christ. God is angry and He will judge this hypocritical church. We are more concerned with the outside of our beautiful edifice than the inside of the human soul. Ezekiel 18:4 says: Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. From what I understand this to mean is that the soul of the homosexual, thief, drug dealer, lesbian, liar, murderer and any other sinner belongs to God. In order for them to turn from their ways we must stop being so judgemental. When Jesus walked this earth He went from town to town spreading love no matter what the extent of the sin was. Remember the woman at the well, John 4, remember the sinner that washed His feet, Luke 7:36-50 and we can go on and on, let me ask you a question, are you better or more important than Jesus? My brothers and sisters it is time for us to change this world for Jesus with Love.
