The Choice is yours.

So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.  Galatians 5:16 

We were not reborn in Christ to live any way we want.  We were reborn to live holy and acceptable lives to God and the Holy Spirit is that guide to help us along the way.  All we have to do listen to Him and heed His leading.  Our flesh will fight against the Spirit every step of the way but we cannot let it win.  If we follow our flesh, that will only lead to trouble and heartache.  If we follow the Spirit, that will lead to peace, joy, love, patience, kindness, goodness, fruitfullness, gentleness and self control.  Which would you rather have?  Think about it.

I want to be part of that glorious church!

He gave up his life for her (the church) to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word. He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault. Ephesians 5:25-27

This is what Christ is seeking to build, even in these last days. He wants a church that is pure and seeks after Him. ...He wants a holy church that hungers after righteousness and not this world. He wants a church that will open itself up to what God has in store for it and is willing to go forth into their communities, their cities, their states and the nations. We are being called back to the foundation that was laid for the church way back in the first century, we are being called to become that glorious church. I want to be part of that glorious church. Do you?

It is what we all must do!

And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory. So we tell others about Christ, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all the wisdom God has given us. Collosians 1:27-28

Yes, Christ does live in us and I for one am so glad that He does! Then why are we not telling others that? Here is his letter to the church of the Collisians Paul plainly stat...es that this is what we are to, tell others about Jesus. That is what the early church was built on, but not so much today. Are we afraid? Are we ashamed? Do we think that this is the responsibilty of pastors and preachers? I have come to believe that it is all of the above. The church that Jesus designed, built and left in our hands was meant for all to work in. Every person saved by the mercy and grace of God has the responsibility to tell someone about Jesus and that is what this ministry is all about. Someone told you, now you have to tell someone. It is what we all must do!

Let's get going!

That night Paul had a vision: A man from Macedonia in northern Greece was standing there, pleading with him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us!” So we decided to leave for Macedonia at once, having concluded that God was calling us to preach the Good News there. Acts 16:9-10

It is like this, especially these days, the lost will not come to church on their own. They most likely will not seek out people to present the Gospel to them. That is where we come in. We must be willing and ready to GO. We can't sit by while those needing help slide into eternity. They don't know it but the lost are calling out, they are crying for help. If we, the followers of Jesus, will not go, then who will

Let's turn the world upside down!

But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, “These who have TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDEDOWN have come here too". Acts 17:6

This is our calling. This is what we are to do for Christ. We are to go forth and turn the world upside down for Him! Jesus didn't establish the church to have the status quo. He don't want the same ole same ol...e, and we shouldn't either! The world is supposed to know we are different. It is supposed to have its eyes opened because Jesus lives in us and the signs that are to follow us. Each and every member of the body of Christ is to go forth boldly and proclaim Jesus and in the process turn the world and it ways upside down. Are we doing that? If not, why not? Let's all get to it and give this world a good shaking and waking up until it is UPSIDEDOWN for Jesus.

Are you blinded to your calling?

So Ananias went and found Saul. He laid his hands on him and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road, has sent me so that you might regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”  Instantly something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he got up and was baptized.  Acts 9:17-18
 Just as sure as Paul was blinded by the light of Jesus, the church today, for the most part, has been blinded.  We have been tricked by our enemy into thinking that just going to church is all that matters.  We have been blinded to the fact of what Christ meant the church to be.  Jesus never wanted a church to be pinned behind four walls.  He never intended us to set back and think someone else is going to do the work of ministry.  Each and everyone of us as a member of the Body of Christ has a jub to do.  Some are preachers.  Some are teachers.  Some prophets, some apostles.  You may not be called to one of these callings, but you are called to something.  Start seeking God today and ask Him to show you your calling.  It may be big, it may be small.  You may be called to just tell someone about Jesus.  What ever you calling, pick it up today and don't let our enemy blind you to what you are meant to do.
 

Much Love...

I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love. Luke 4:47

When Jesus forgives us, we will want to show Him love like Mary did here. I know, right now, we can't physically touch Him and wash His feet like she did, but we can sing praises to Him. We can talk with Him daily or more. We can spend time in His word, reflecting on His love. We can just raise our hands to Him and praise His name. We will want to do all these things. We will put off worldly things just to spend time with Him. Tonight, I ask you to show Him love, much love! Spend some time with Him and only Him.
