Well here we are another new year. Are wondering what this holds for us, or are we wondering what we have for this new year? That is the question for this day…
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
by Shepherd Jym Wells
If we read this verse and think about it. Yesterday is gone if we are one in Christ for we actually are a new creation. All the garbage we did and carried from the past is gone, if we are a Christians that old junk has been thrown in the bottomless sea NEVER to be again. So why does anyone go back there?
It is called the enemy he keeps bringing it up time and time again. So we need to put him in his place when he does, how one might ask. My God says I am a NEW CREATION. We need to memorize this scripture and he tries to bring old things up we quote this scripture…
Philippians 3:12-14 (NKJV) 12 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. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have [Laid hold of it]apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
These Scriptures show us how we should be living glorify God in Body and Spirit. Paul says it pretty clear here we have already attained it and we are not already perfected in but we need to keep going for Christ has laid hold of us. Again we have to forget the past and reach forward to what is there for us. Look at and head for the prize our Father is calling us for that is what Jesus came for was to deliver us from our passed and we need to be looking up to home…
This ministry is here to help and teach all who wish to learn we wish to support all who wish to grow in our Lord. I pray that we all grow in the Love of Jesus and reflect Him in all that we say and do. We might be the only Jesus someone sees before they go home. What home do they see when they look at us, Heaven or hell, for that is the choices and I hope we learn that being a Christian is a 24/7 thing it is not a part time thing!
Lord I pray for boldness and understanding for those who read and are members of our groups. I pray that as we move forward that we all grow stronger and that we learn and understand what we are and who’s we are. I pray that the light of this Ministry shines brighter than ever before and that the peace of God abounds in our lives in Jesus name I pray—AMEN!
