Reflection

 
 
Turning your life over to Christ means change. It means you strive daily to live your life Christ like. It means your old man is dead and you become a new creation. Sins forgiven. I find it daunting when I hear many say I am still a baby christian after many years of Sunday services, Bible studies, and prayer meetings. Still clubbing, drinking, having sex outside of marriage and the... list goes on. It means we have made a choice to turn away from a life that appears to have brought us to Christ in the first place but yet, many have not fully committed by choice.

Crying the same cry Sunday after Sunday. Going to the alter for the same pains of life one chooses to participate in. Only praying when a disaster stricks. Only calling on God when things are in an upheaval. If God knocked on your door or called your number, would you be ready, would you answer the call. I am in no way saying we must be perfect, that will never happen but what I am saying is simple, either your in or your out, it is like straddling the fence.

The word of God tells us in Luke 16:13 NLT- No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. The King James Version in this same verse uses mammon instead of money. The meaning is the same. Choose life or death.

Rambling thoughts.

Spectators Never Win

1 Corinthians 9:24-26 in the NLT Paul tells us, “Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing”. I am reminded with every breath, the race I am running. I know that God has given me the vision and because He alone is omnipotent, having unlimited power, I have won, I just have to run. I may stumble and fall, I may get scratched up and bruised, but run I must.   An athlete does not go into a race with doubt and fear. They are not concerned with who is cheering them on. A runner cannot focus on the runner next to them thought they are aware that they are there. A runner is focused on the run, the finish line, and the score board that tells them if they have beaten a previous record for the win.   Being a runner on the track is the same as

Win The Race With Endurance

Today has been a good day. How many of you get up in the mornings and say this? Do you get up with anticipation and drive to do all that you can in peace, or do you get up dreading the day before it even starts? You have a choice to either be grateful or in torment.  After a great call with a friend I haven't seen or talked to in over 30 years until a few weeks ago spoke so much life and confirmation in to me today.  I was reminded about endurance and running the race that God has placed me in. This race is nothing about what I want, it's about what His will is for me and nothing more. You see, we have to surrender our will for His will because as you know, God's will is the platform in which we have been placed at the starting line to run and not faint or grow weary. We been called and hand picked for a time such as now. Its urgent and immediate. Are you running to it or from it?  The past few months have been challenging on many levels and with these challen

Celebration Of Life

Looking back over my life I can honestly say I did good shoot, I did better than good. Loosing my mother at 16 and me being a teenage mother I didn't crumble, crash and burn. Oh I did a zig when I should have made that zag. I believed too many lies and did not pay attention to the sirens warning me to run for the hills. I have made plenty of mistakes and many I wish I could go back and reverse, but God knew the plans he had for me because His word says that our steps are ordered. I have learned a lot about the psychological makeup of people including myself and that is why nothing surprises me anymore. I am not easily tricked up even though I may act like I don't see it, I do. I expect nothing and appreciate everything. Though I may be different, I celebrate my different because it and God has saved my life.  Bad choices and learned lessons. At 52 there are things that no longer matter as they did when I was young and impressionable. Looking back, all I can say is tha
