OUR PAST EXPERIENCES SHOULD BE A GUIDE POST IN OUR LIFE, NOT A HITCHING POST.

 OUR PAST IS GONE, WE DO NOT EVEN NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT ANYMORE.  

IF YOU ARE A BELIEVER AND FOLLOWER OF JESUS CHRIST, 

HE HAS WASHED AWAY ALL SIN CONNECTED TO OUR PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE, WITH JESUS BLOOD, THERE IS GRACE, AND MERCY AND FORGIVENESS.

WE CAN LEARN  FROM THE PITFALLS WE FELL INTO, BUT DO NOT ALLOW THE ENEMY TO PLAY THE MOVIE OF YOUR PAST. 

IT IS GONE IN THE SEA OF FORGETFULNESS.

MICAH 7:19

HE WILL AGAIN HAVE COMPASSION ON US, AND WILL SUBDUE OUR INIQUITIES,

YOU HAVE CAST ALL OUR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA.

AND GOD PUT UP A NO FISHING SIGN!!


PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14

BRETHREN, I DO NOT COUNT MYSELF TO HAVE APPREHENDED; BUT FORGETTING THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEHIND AND REACHING FORWARD TO THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE AHEAD.

I PRESS TOWARD THE GOAL FOR THE PRIZE OF THE UPWARD CALL OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS.

PAUL HAD PLENTY OF PAST TO BE SORRY FOR, YET HE COULD LET GO AND MOVE ON WITH JESUS, AS WE ALSO SHOULD BE DOING.


TOO MANY BELIEVERS ARE ALLOWING THEIR MIND TO DRIFT AWAY FROM THE JOY IN JESUS THAT THEY HAD FOUND. 

AS THEY SIT IDLE, THEY ALLOW THEIR MIND TO RUN RAPID, THINKING ABOUT HOW THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT IF THEY HADN'T DONE THIS OR THAT.


BELOVED, THINGS ARE DIFFERENT IF YOU ARE BORN OF GOD'S SPIRIT.  

YOU ARE A NEW CREATION, BORN OF GOD'S SPIRIT, THE OLD YOU NO LONGER EXISTS. 

2 CORINTHIANS 5:17

THEREFORE, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS HAVE PASTED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW.


ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, ALL THINGS ARE ALREADY NEW. 

IT IS TIME YOU SEE YOURSELF THROUGH THE EYES OF JESUS. 

CHOSEN BY GOD TO BE IN HIS FAMILY, FULL OF POWER AND STRENGTH, AND HOPE AND JOY AND  BLESSINGS.

BELOVED, DON'T TIE YOUR MIND TO THE HITCHING POST, UN-TIE IT, BECAUSE JESUS HAS MADE YOU FREE. WALK IN THAT FREEDOM.

RENEW YOUR MIND IN GOD'S WORD.

ROMANS 12:2

AND DO NOT BE CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD, BUT BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, THAT YOU MAY PROVE WHAT IS THAT GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE AND PERFECT WILL OF GOD.

WE RENEW OUR MIND BY STUDYING AND APPLYING GOD'S WORD DAILY.

REMEMBER THE PITFALLS AS YOU WALK, BUT LET THOSE MEMORIES GUIDE YOU TO BETTER THINGS IN THE LORD, 

LET THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAK TO YOU AS TO WHAT YOU ARE TO AVOID.

WHATEVER TOOK YOUR ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE LORD, AVOID THOSE PLACES.


KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON JESUS, AND HAVE A WONDERFUL, PEACEFUL DAY IN JESUS.


GOD BLESS YOUR DAY

JESUS LOVES YOU


LOVE IN JESUS

JOY

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
