We All need Surgery

Without repentance we have only placed a Band-Aid of emotionalism over the wound of our guilty soul, it will bleed again and never heal.

Acts 3:19

Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out

Ezekiel 18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit

Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you:and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Don’t put a band-aid on a wound that needs surgery!

We are Not Robots

God could have created robots programmed to love and obey Him. Instead in His sovereignty He  chose to trust us with the gift of free will to choose. Would you want love from someone who HAS to love you or someone who WANTS to love you? Without free will to choose we couldn’t be held accountable for our actions and motivations. You are not a robot so choose this day whom you will serve! Deuteronomy 24:15

“The sin of both men and angels was rendered possible by the fact that God gave us free will” C.S. Lewis

Education without Values,

images-5

Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.

C. S. Lewis

Isaiah 47:10 Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee;

and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ

My Ordination with AGIF at Norwalk Conn

PARTING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW

It was such an honor and privilege to have pastor Dan Mariano ordain me at the Assembly of God International Fellowship Conference only a few days ago. Although his sudden passing away yesterday to be with His Lord is such a shock to us all and grieves us for he shall be so sorely missed, it makes my ordination even more special yet mixed with such sweet sorrow. Although I am not sure but I do believe that ordination was his last official assignment here on earth, which makes the words he spoke when he prayed over me even more impactful on my life and ministry. May those words and example of his life cause me to follow Christ as he followed Christ.

Is He Leaving an Imprint on the Pages of Your Life?

One day I had a problem with my printer, and although it went through the motions, it didn’t print the words, there was only a blank page. God used this as a window to my soul and spoke this parable to my heart.

Dear Child,

Am I only an impression on your life or is there an imprint on your life when you leave My presence?

Is your life only a blank page that has gone through the motions but no lasting imprint?

Live what I impress upon your heart, and it will be read of men.

As you live what I impress upon your heart, your life will be anointed with the indelible ink of the Holy Spirit to make an imprint on the hearts of others.

                                                                      Thus saith Papa

2 Corinthians 3:2-3  Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.

CHALLENGE:- As you walk in authenticity and integrity, your life will leave a godly imprint on all those within your circle of influence.
