DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?

Good teachers come up with exciting ways to capture their audiences attention. 

Let's look at how Jesus captured the attention of his disciples.  As Jesus walked on the Sea of Galilee, that got his disciples to pay great attention to who he was and what he was all about!  During that time, they might not have understood that He was the best teacher they could ever have. 

Why did Jesus choose this method to capture their attention?  He wanted his disciples and us to pay attention to Him as their chief, focus even when the storms of life seem to take total control.  His voice breaks through the rumble of water and wind and says, "It is I; don't be afraid."

Do you hear Jesus speaking to YOU?

~John 6:19~ "They saw Jesus approaching the boat; walking on the water."

Prayer:  Father God, forgive me for allowing the storms of life to distract me from hearing you.  I believe you are Lord over all things.  Help me to trust you wholeheartedly.  In Jesus Name, Amen!

Move Up to the Next Level

* I Am Pressing Toward the Goal of the Prize *

Many ask, what is the next level?  As we know Christ more, we will discover the insignificance of wordly treasures. Your true goal should be to know Christ and His power He has granted unto us.

So, self examine yourself and see if you have started doing some things that God has instructed you to do.  When you have mastered one level, go on to the next.  It is the only way to keep growing and developing your Godly skills!

~Philippians 3:12-14~
"Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.  Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, 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."

The Heart of Worship

What is central in your life today?  For some people, it's material things and for others it's power and having financial success.  For Christians, the central thing in our lives is JESUS.  Think about it, Jesus is the reason why we get up each day. He should be central in everyone's lives. When Jesus is the heart of your worship, your mind should be focused on; Him, world peace, feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, helping single mothers, women and children that are abused.  Spreading the Gospel to everyone and living a peaceful and Christian life.

Come to the heart of worship, where it's all about Jesus.

~Psalm 100:2-3~

"Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing.  Know that the Lord, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture."

In knowing this, we must make Him central in our lives today and forever more!  Amen.

The Power of a Renewed Mind

In your life, you will experience some trials and tribulations.  When you're faced with adversity, does your thoughts control your actions? If so, pray and ask God to renew your mind and to increase your power.  As scripture states in Romans 12:2, "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is, his good, pleasing and perfect will."  Furthermore, the word also says in Numbers 14:18, "The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion."

Let's pray:  Lord, what a blessing You are that You have given me such an array of emotion which allows me to express myself.  Help me to become more like You.  Renovate me, transform me so I can be balanced and pleasing to You in my actions.  I want to be wise and enjoy sound thinking.  I pray for more discernment, so that in whatever comes my way, I will have the grace to think, speak and act with a good and godly attitude.  Help me to know Your will and have a mind that's renewed and full of power.  In Jesus Name, Amen.

Take back control of your thoughts, because if you don't learn how to control your thoughts, you will never learn how to control your behavior. 

(Meditate on Romans 12:2 for this entire week).

The Purpose of Prayer

Did you know that Christians are called to a lifestyle of prayer? 

Yes, we are!  Prayer is the responsibility of every Christian.  God's Word tells us to pray at all times.  We should be praying continuously, because talking to God is a great privilege.  When we pray, we are entering into a personal intimate relationship with God.  Think of it as a love connection with God.  Ask yourself, how is my love connection? 

Many have come to see prayer as calling upon the Heavenly Butler for daily service or crying out to the Heavenly Lifeguard when you are drowning in your daily circumstances.  Certainly God has more for you than that.  Much of your discontent and worry is the result of disobedience to God's Word.

Keep in mind;

(Ephesians 6:18) "With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints."

(1Thessalonians 5:17) "Pray without ceasing." 

By connecting and staying connected to the True Source, you could positively be transformed.

AMEN....
