Let Go Let God

    There are always going to be things in our life that remain out of our control. So why do we stress over those things? We invest ourselves and make the issues we can't control OUR problem, even when they aren't. Our problems are the ones we can take action to solve. What do we do when things are just out of our hands?

    I believe this all comes down to a trust issue. If we truly trust Jesus with our lives, or the lives of others, we would have no problem giving up the issues we can't control in prayer. Yet, we labor over these things and try to think of something that we can do to solve the issue. Why do we trust in our own power rather than Jesus'?

    We need to have a revelation that many things are just beyond us. Sometimes Jesus will ask us to move after He has done all of the work behind the scenes that we are unaware of. It is foolish to make a move without Him to back you up. If He is the one guiding you there, you can bet He will back you up with His power and His favor. We should be striving to keep in step with the Spirit and His will because that's when things work out for the best.

    When we face issues that we cannot control, pray. He has given us His name as an authority. Use it in prayer and speak to those issues, trusting God to act on your behalf. Pray until your Spirit is at peace. When you have truly released the issue to Jesus in prayer, you will no longer be anxious. His gift to us is peace that transcends all understanding. Operate in His peace and His will today and like the saying says, "let go, let God"-- He's got this.

Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” (ESV)

Isaiah 45:2 I will go before you and level the uneven places; I will shatter the bronze doors and cut the iron bars in two. (HCSB)

Philippians 4:2 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (NIV)

Philippians 2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth (NIV)

John 14:13-14 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. (NIV)

Deuteronomy 31:8 It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. (ESV)

He Time

     We have now gone over me time and we time, so today I want to address He time. It's a pretty simple concept-- that we have to spend time with Jesus to grow our faith. Just like anything else we want to get better at, you have to spend time doing it. In the case of Christianity, we are changed into the image of Jesus as we spend time with Him. 2 Corinthians 3:18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. (ESV)     My message is as simple as this-- make sure that you are setting time aside for Christ. You will never change if you don't continually immerse yourself into His presence. We need to be spending time in His word so we know His promises and guidelines for our life, in prayer to speak to Him for individual direction in our circumstances, and worshipping Him for His goodness.     Do not le...

Think Twice

    When the Holy Spirit was sent to us on earth, it made Jesus readily available to all. Now He lives in us, not among us. When you are a born again Christian, you now have Jesus dwelling inside you. How does that affect your daily life? Do you realize that you are a reflection of the one you carry with you everywhere you go?    Sadly, that doesn't mean much to a lot of Christians. Instead of using Jesus as an instrument of love, hope, and salvation, they use His name as a weapon. They spend their time boycotting instead of praying for Jesus to change hearts. Telling others that the God who IS love, hates them. Letting others know that they will go to hell for their decisions, instead of lighting the way to heaven. Let me be clear: this is wrong! No one wants to believe in a hateful, unforgiving God. I certainly don't. That's why I follow Jesus.     Even if you aren't the one openly boycotting on street corners, be careful of the image of God you are g...

Knock-Knock

Revelation 3:20   Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. (ESV)     When you think of a gentleman what comes to mind? A man who holds open doors, pulls out your chair, and helps you with your coat? Whatever your definition is, one thing I think we can agree on is that a gentleman is never pushy. He is "gentle" and meek, respecting all those around him. To me, Jesus is the perfect example of a gentleman.     A gentleman never pushes for his way, but respects your thoughts and opinions even if they disagree with his own. But that doesn't mean that he lets his own beliefs fall to the wayside because of what you believe. Does that not describe Jesus? He waits for us to make our choices, but remains the same perfect, faithful and unchanging God. We were always created to have free will. We have a choice to have a relationship with Jesus, or not. To sin, or not. To...
