Celebrating Family Since July is a month usually designated to family reunions. We want to take a moment and talk about family.
Family is any group of persons closely related by blood, as parents, children, uncles, aunts, and cousins: A group of persons sharing common ancestry. Family it so important in our lives as individuals and the community as a whole. I believe Lyndon Baines Johnson said it best with the following quote: The family is the corner stone of our society. More than any other force it shapes the attitude, the hopes, the ambitions, and the values of the child. And when the family collapses it is the children that are usually damaged. When it happens on a massive scale the community itself is crippled. So, unless we work to strengthen the family, to create conditions under which most parents will stay together, all the rest — schools, playgrounds, and public assistance, and private concern — will never be enough.
Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing. In a world of hustle and bustle it can sometimes become easy to take for granted the bonds we have formed with those we love the most. We can sometimes forget the importance of showing them how much we care for, and appreciate them on a daily basis. So take time today and tell your family how much you love and care for them. Because no matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished?

Things That Make You Go HMMM...
 Declare Your Independence from Man and Your Dependence on God
Just as the USA declared it’s independence from the Kingdom’s of Great Britain in 1776 it is time for the saints of God to declare their independence from man and the devil. What does it mean to be declare something? The dictionary defines declare as such; to make known formally, officially, or explicitly; to make evident; to reveal or make manifest: show; to state emphatically or authoritatively; affirm. It is time that we as saints of God let the devil know that we will no longer be held hostage to his demands. We will not dance to his tune, or ask how high when he says jump. We will move independent of his demands.
So what does it mean to be independent? Being independent means not dependent, not subject to the control of another, self-governing, not looking to others for one’s opinion or for guidance in conduct; not requiring or relying on others; freedom from the control, influence, support, aid, or the like, of others. We must call to mind what Jesus did in the passage in Matthew 4:1-11 when he was presented with options to sin; He did not give in, but rather declared the word of God to the devil and the situation. We must be as bold, but we must also realize as stated in Luke 4:13 that the devil is only gone for a season. The devil will return, but you must consistently and authoritatively resist him and he will flee {James 4:7}.
Now that we know what it means to declare and to be independent, let’s talk about learning to be dependent on God. Dependence is the quality or state of being dependent; especially : the quality or state of being influenced or determined by or subject to another; reliance, trust; the state of relying on or needing someone or something for aid, support, or the like. It is time that we realize that God is our source, and everything else is just a resource that he uses to bless us. We must fully rely on God at all times and for all things {Proverbs 3:5-6}. 2 Samuel 22:31 -As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. So we must trust him even when we can’t see where he is taking us. We must trust him when we don’t understand why things are happening to us. We must know that his word is true and that all things work together for the good to them that love him and are called according to his purpose. God only has the best and most honorable intentions toward us. Jeremiah 29:11-For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Now is the time to decide, that you will totally rely on, trust in and depend on God. Let him work in you and through you to accomplish his perfect will. All you have to do is praise him and trust him. Psalm 4:5- Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord. Allow God to be everything that you need, let him be your salvation, your strength and your song. Remember that True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right.Happy Fourth of July

From The Pastor's Desk.jpg) FROM THE PASTOR'S DESKKeep Up With Your Valuables 1 Peter 1:7 -That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Most people believe that wealth is obtained by hard work and good investment strategies. Whether it is precious metals or money when someone has these they are considered very wealthy. Webster’s dictionary defines valuables as a usually personal possession (as jewelry) of relatively great monetary value. I want to make it very clear that there is nothing wrong with making a living and having nice things. We as children of the most high should not look nor live as people without hope. Our lives should reflect the fact that we serve a God who will supply are all of our needs according to his riches in glory. What good is money when you don’t have peace of mind or medicine when you don’t have faith? Faith in God is one of your most valuable possessions as being a believer. Faith in the Lord will always stand the great test of time. It does not get mad at you, doesn’t have an attitude, will not get jealous because it’s not being used, but will be ready when called upon if you just trust it. If faith were traded on the stock market it would be considered a blue chip stock because of its high value.
Just take a stroll down Faith Boulevard, remember the testimonies of the witness who have stood up on behalf of faith. I believe the women with the twelve year infirmity will tell you that faith does work. Consider also the man at the pool for thirty-eight years unable to walk, and Jesus came by a spoke faith into his life. He left running telling everyone that silver and gold did not heal him. He reminded them that it was the word of faith that he believed when Jesus spoke.
Most people who are wealthy keep their valuables in a place they feel is safe and secure. God only ask that you keep it on the tables of your heart, a place that is always with you. When we realize how valuable it is to have faith we will begin to make changes in our lives. It should cause you to give God praise and honor at all time because he worthy of it. Take a good look at what he has entrusted us with. You may not think that faith is valuable but I beg the difference. What else do you know that can move mountains, heal the sick and raise the dead? God is such an awesome Savior to entrust us with such a precious gift. We should show Him that we are grateful and make full use of this gift. So my brothers and sisters, make sure you take care of your valuables. People want to steal your material valuables but the enemy wants to steal your spiritual valuables and those are worth more than silver or gold.
Soul FoodIt's easy to be independent when you've got money. But to be independent when you haven't got a thing -- that's the Lord's test. The Lord will either calm your storm . . . or allow it to rage while He calms you.
When we let go of fear, only then can we gracefully move from what was into the miracle of what can be.
My job is to take care of the possible and trust God with the impossible
Fear ends where faith begins.
Those who have faith need no explanation, for those who have no faith, no explanation is possible.
Worry is a total waste of time. It doesn’t change anything. All it does is taint your mind and steals your joy. You can’t have joy without peace, and there is no peace without God.
You don't have to be a "person of influence" to be influential. In fact, the most influential people in my life are probably not even aware of the things they've taught me.
St. Theresa's Prayer May today there be peace within.
May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us. Counterhits |
