Luke 9:23
G5461
Jesus is wanting to disciple us. He invites each of us to come and follow Him. He is the expert discipler. If we want to follow Him we must deny ourselves and pick up our cross daily. Following His will is our cross daily.
Are you living your life for God? God puts eternity in our hearts. Each of us need to have a personal encounter with Jesus. Knowing Jesus is knowing His Father in heaven. Get in the game to do good works for God. Don't sit on the sidelines, be a player.
We are born with a crippling disease called sin. God sent His Son to make us rightous before Him. By His Spirit we have the power to resist the devil. We are God's miracles when we are born again. Prayer is a staple in the life of a believer.
Do you root for the underdog? God is in the business of working in the life of underdogs to bring them into a right relationship with Him. We must keep our minds focused on the Lord. Cast all our cares and worries on Him because He loves us. He will keep us in perfect peace if we keep our eyes on Him.

2 Chronicles 26:1
G5456
Becoming totally dependent on the Lord is key to our walk. As we seek God we become dependent on His word and the people of God. Pride is the biggest sin that keeps us from serving Him wholeheartedly. Abiding in Him is the remedy for drifting away. Stay close to the Vine.
How do you measure your maturity? Are you still on milk or the meat of the world? Start living with the same gusto you did in the world as a Christian. Don't misrepresent God at the workplace. Pray for better Christlike skillls.
God is working on our behalf always. Training us in rightousness. Waiting on the Lord in our trials is diddicult, but God is never late. We must humble ourselves and He will lift us up. God is always there for a blessing, if we are worshipping Him and sometimes when we are not.He is faithful.
What do you trust? You do choose what you serve. What you serve will reveal what you trust. Now is the time to test your tester. Hold onto Him with both hands, keep trusting and He will make your path straight. When has God ever let us down?
There will always be something we have to have. Watch how much you want how much. Learn to be content with what God has blessed you with. Be careful you you trust what is trustworthy. Trust in the Lord not fleshly things.
Life is a series of lessons. We need to make each day cont and learn from each lesson. God makes a trial beautiful, the minute we yield to Him. Keep your eyes on spiritual things. Patience is a rewardable act.

Hebrews 12:1
G5452
We are all in a race. It's a spiritual race. It's not a sprint it's a marathon. Their are things that weigh us down, so we must cast all our cares on the Lord. He will sustain us. His will is much better than ours.
We are all facing something in our lives. We have issues. Jesus said we will have trials and tribulations and we must trust Him. He tells us to come to Him and leaves our issues and He will give us rest. Our inheritance is in heaven, this is not our home. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Trust Jesus and go to heaven for all eternity.
God delights talking with his children. Become a person of prayer. God puts circumstances in our lives to bring us to pray. He allows these things to get us to become dependent on Him. We must consistently change by the renewing of our minds. Looking like Jesus is the goal.
Everyone at sometime wants to run away. What is making you run, an ex, parents, kids, finances, your past or maybe your present. We are running from responsibilities. God must be our strength and shield. He must be your everything,let Him love you. Run to Him.
Life is coursed with compromise. You attend church, tithe, serve when it's convenient for your schedule. Your relationship with God is not what it should be. Seek first His kingdom and His rightousness and all these things will be added to you as well. If you seek Me with all your heart, you'll find me. Jesus is the Anchor for our soul.
What will the earth taste like if the Christians are gone? The Lord is good and the world need to see Jesus in us. Let's be that salt and spice up this bland world.
What has God said to you and you couldn't sleep that night? Does it have something to do with your will verses His perfect will be done? Many are the plans of man, but the Lord's purpose always prevails.
(Choir Sings) We each need to see our need for a Savior. Pride is the biggest obstacle to seeing our need. We must humble ourselves before the Lord and He will lift us up.
