"WHEN LOOKING FOR ADVICE"

WE OFTEN MAKE THE MISTAKE OF LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO WILL AGREE WITH OUR OWN OPINION INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO WISDOM.

WHEN WE SEEK OUT ADVICE, WE MUST DO SO WITH AN OPENNESS TO BEING CORRECTED OR TO HAVING OUR INITIAL CHOICES RETHOUGHT.

IT DOES LITTLE GOOD TO ASK FOR ADVICE WHEN OUR MINDS ARE ALREADY MADE UP!

"2 COR. 9:6-10" (GODS WORD TRANSLATION)

6 Remember this: The farmer who plants a few seeds will have a very small harvest. But the farmer who plants because he has received God's blessings will receive a harvest of God's blessings in return.

7 Each of you should give whatever you have decided. You shouldn't be sorry that you gave or feel forced to give, since God loves a cheerful giver.

8 Besides, God will give you His constantly overflowing kindness. Then, when you always have everything you need, you can do more and more good things.

9 Scripture says, "The righteous person gives freely to the poor. His righteousness continues forever."

10 God gives seed to the farmer and food to those who need to eat. God will also give you seed and multiply it. In your lives he will increase the things you do that have "His approval".

So Long Worrying - Hello Praying

So Long Worrying - Hello Praying

Friends, let's say goodby to worrying and hello to praying all the time. Praying gets things going and changes things, worry does nothing - it only clutters up our mind.

What a great blessing praying is, the Evil One does all he can to keep it away from us. That's not what our Lord and Savior said all of His words we can trust.

Jesus prayed to His Father no matter the situation. Dear friends, let us start praying even if we are full of aggravation.

Just start talking to God about your troubles and give them all to Him. Prayer can move mountains and far greater it saves us from our sin.

"ARMOUR OF GOD PRAYER"

Picture yourself putting on:

1. THE HELMET OF SALVATION Re-claim and celebrate your salvation. Let Christ give you His mind and thoughts.

2. THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS Get right with God by confessing any sin. Invite Jesus to make you into His likeness.

3. THE BELT OF TRUTH Ask Jesus to show you the truth about yourself. Ask for discernment to know God's leading from that of the Evil One.

4. THE SANDALS OF PEACE Exhale fully and breathe in the Peace of God. Invite the Holy Spirit to show you anyone with whom you need to be reconciled. Forgive them and seek your forgiveness.

5. THE SHIELD OF FAITH Envision yourself with a mighty shield, capturing and extinguishing doubts and temptations.

6. THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT Take the sword to cut yourself free from anything that restricts you from living in faith and health. Praise God for His Word, in the Bible and in life.

7. FINAL PRAYER Let the Holy Spirit lead you in worshiping God and intercede for others God brings to mind.

PERSECUTED, NOT FORSAKEN

PERSECUTED, NOT FORSAKEN

And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." - Mark 16:15

If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. - John 15:18-20

Persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed- - 2 Corinthians 4:9

Who shall seperate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. - Romans 8:35-37

Blessed are you when they revile and persecute, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. - Matthew 5:11-12

"LORD,SET ME FREE FROM NEGATIVE EMOTIONS"

"LORD,SET ME FREE FROM NEGATIVE EMOTIONS"

Lord, help me to live in Your joy and peace. Give me strength and understanding to resist anxiety, anger, envy, depression, bitterness, hopelessness, loneliness, fear, and guilt.

Rescue me when my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is distressed (Psalm 143:4).

I refuse to let my life be brought down by negative emotions such as these.

When I am tempted to give in to them, show me Your truth.

You have said in Your Word that by our patience we can posses our souls (Luke 21:19).

Give me patience so I can do that. Help me to keep my heart with all diligence, for I know that out of it spring the issue of life (Proverbs 4:23)...

"The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit."

Psalm 34:17-18

WHY?

WHY?

"WHY DO WE BRING THE WORLD INTO THE CHURCH,BUT WE WONT BRING THE CHURCH INTO THE WORLD?

YOU WONDER WHY THE CHURCHES ARE SO MESSED UP?

WELL THINK ABOUT IT, WE BRING OUR NEGATIVE ATTITUDES INTO THE CHURCHES AND WE HOLD ON TO GRUDGES INSTEAD OF RELEASING THE PAST AND LETTING GO AND LETTING GOD HANDLE THE BURDENS THAT WE CANT HANDLE

WE BREED ENVY AND JEALOUSY, WE BREED HATRED AND STRIFE AND MOST OF ALL "UNFORGIVENESS"!

(THE WORD CHRISTIAN MEANS)TO BE CHRIST-LIKE ! AND IN ORDER TO BECOME CHRIST-LIKE YOU HAVE TO READ UP ON AND KNOW WHO CHRIST WAS AND IS NOW !

WE AS CHRISTIANS CROSS-BREED WITH THE UNGODLY AND DO THE THINGS OF THE WORLD, BUT THE UNGODLY DON'T COME AND SIT WITH YOU IN CHURCH,NOW DO THEY?

BUT HERE WE ARE THE CHRISTIANS"DRINKING, SMOKING, BEING PERVERTED, CUSSING, HATING, CLUBBING AND JUST PLAIN OLE SINNING & OBEYING satan!"

"BUT THE UNGODLY ARE NOT GOING TO CHURCH, LOVING, BEING UNDERSTANDING, BEING PEACEFUL AND OBEYING THE WORD OF GOD!

NOW ASK YOURSELVES THIS QUESTION,

AM I REALLY BEING CHRIST-LIKE, OR DO I JUST OBTAIN THIS TITLE.

THERE IS NO REWARD WITHOUT RESPONSIBILITY PEOPLE!

THE TIME TO RE-EVALUATE OURSELVES AND OUR LIFE-STYLES IS NOW !

AND IF THIS MESSAGE OFFENDS YOU, THEN I HOPE AND PRAY THAT IT OFFENDS YOU ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU WANT TO DO BETTER, AMEN... "BECAUSE LORD KNOWS THAT THIS IS THE TRUTH!!!!!!!"

(CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A RELIGION, BUT ITS A LIFESTYLE!)

AND THIS GOES FOR ALL OF "US" INCLUDING ME..

AMEN !

"TO RENEW THE MIND"

"TO RENEW THE MIND"

(12:1-2)YOU HAVE TO DIE TO YOURSELF IN ORDER TO RISE UP IN CHRIST.

(CHANGE)TO MAKE THE FORM,NATURE,CONTENT,FUTURE COURSE ETC,OF SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IT IS OR FROM WHAT IT WOULD BE IF LEFT ALONE:

"THE PROCESS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE A DESIRED RESULTS"

(1)PEOPLE WANT TO CHANGE BUT IF IT DOESN'T HURT ENOUGH THEY WILL NOT CHANGE.

(2)YES CHANGE IS HARD,BUT WITHOUT IT WE WOULD CONTINUE TO TRUST OURSELVES AND NOT IN OUR GREAT GOD-WHO BY THE WAY,NEVER CHANGES.

( 3)CHANGE CAN BE HARD,BECAUSE I SEE A PICTURE OF WHAT COULD BE,BUT ALSO A PICTURE OF PROBABLY WHAT WILL BE AND SO THE PICTURE IN MY MIND CAN BRING ME TO A PLACE OF ANXIETY.

(4)CHANGE IS HARD BECAUSE YOU WANT TO HAVE CONTROL,INSTEAD OF BEING CONTROLLED,YOU RATHER JUST HAVE COMFORT.

"CHANGE IS ACTUALLY QUITE SIMPLE-AND HERE ARE 5 REQUIRED STEPS"

(1)IDENTIFY THE THING YOU WANT TO CHANGE ABOUT YOURSELF.

(2)DECIDE TO CHANGE

( 3)GATHER HELP AND INFORMATION FROM OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

(4)BUILD AND EXECUTE A PLAN OF ACTION USING THIS INFORMATION AND THE HELP OF OTHERS.

(5)IF YOU FAIL,GO BACK TO STEP#3,TWEAK YOUR PLAN,AND REPEAT UNTIL YOU PRODUCE THE DESIRED RESULTS.

AND THIS IS HOW YOU RENEW YOUR MIND !

AMEN!
