Standing Alone?

Romans 15:14 (KJV)

[14] And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to *(admonish one another.)

• The Need-To Help Each Other Is Paramount…scripturally!

• The Necessity-To Survive When Abandoned Is Also Paramount…scripturally!

Don’t Mistakenly Choose One Over The Other…

Either Could Be Disastrous - When You’ve Chosen Rather Than It Being God’s Design!

Be A Part of Church

Not Apart!

Misplaced Trust?

Luke 24:21 (KJV)

[21] But we (trusted) that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

Trust - confidence

Trust is a fragile precious gift… Something we rarely give!

**But the (wrong kind) of Trust is just as damaging as misplaced Trust!

The Road To Emmaus Was About To Show These Men The Difference Between “Misplaced Trust” vs. “Mis-Estimated” (wrong kind) of Trust…

They Trusted in their opinion and estimations and were discouraged….

They Thought That Redemption Was An Earthly Kingdom!

When In Fact It Was Spiritual!

Before You Decide That Your Trust Was Misplaced…

You Might Reconsider and See If Your Trust Was Actually An Unreasonably Expectation?

Misplaced Trust - May not be misplaced at all but rather just your opinion of how it should all work out!

Making A Decision

A Decision - Resolution, conclusion, or verdict!

Daniel 3:18 (KJV)

[18] But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

•    Impulsive Emotional Decisions Can Be Short Lived…

•    A Decision made because of Convection and Resolution, is almost impossible to break.

Impulsive, Emotional Decisions are are bound and ruled by impulsive and emotional laws….

While Resolute Conclusion Driven  “Decisions” are the Final Verdict and become Unmovable! 

Christ-The Church-Marriage and Family… There Is No Turning Back!

Emotion May Come as a  “Secondary” Extra - But It Was My Decision That Makes It Non Negotiable!

The Critic

*A person who judges, or makes an unfavorable opinion.

Hebrews 10:25 (KJV)

[25] Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; *(but exhorting one another:) and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

But To *Encourage One Another!

The Critic Looks For What Is Wrong… Refusing To Trust That God and His Shepherds Can Handle It Without Their Opinion…

Whereas One Who “Exhorts” His Fellow Christian is Actually Doing A Work For God!

• Try Encouraging Words (about them and others) In Your Family Today!

• Create Strengthening What Is Good!

• Try Finding an Encouraging Word For Someone Today!

Really, God and His Shepherds Can Handle The Rest!

1 Peter 4:11

Not All Opportunities Are Good

Hebrews 11:15 (KJV)

[15] And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

An Opportunity is a Chance - Some Opportunities Are Doors to Destruction!

Being Mindful or Thoughtful of Egypt, Where God Has Brought You “From” Presents an Opportunity to Return!

A Made Up Mind Is A “Bridge Burner” an Opportunity Eliminator To Ever Going Back!

Be Careful How You Think, You May Be Creating Your Own Opportunities To Go Back!

Nothing Left Behind

Exodus 10:26 (KJV)

[26] Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.

Total Commitment Means Everything! Everything Must Go… Because We’re Not Coming Back!

When You Finally Are Really Ready to Commit to Following Jesus… There’s Nothing Left Behind To Ever Come Back To! The Only People Who Backslide Are Those Who Left Something Behind!

Maybe, just maybe, the real problem with your walk with Christ is that you’ve left something behind?

Prerequisites Do Count

Luke 11:2 (KJV)

[2] And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

           THE PREREQUISITE-

[4] And *{forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us...}

Today-

    •    Do You Need Mercy?

    •    Do You Need Forgiveness?

    •    Do You Need Help?

Then find Someone As Undeserving As You Are, That Has Done You Wrong! And Forgive Them-Unconditionally, *Just Like You Need The Lord To Do For You Today!

I Promise It’s An Amazing Miracle That Will Take Place…

Forgive someone today, and watch the Miracle happen…
