You don’t have to continue to do the things you used to do because you are not the person you use to be. TAKE OFF THOSE GRAVE CLOTHES AND LIVE. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

DO YOU NEED A MIRACLE? Do not fear; only believe, fight through the crowd and pray. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

THERE IS NO SHAME IN YOUR PAST. In Christ, your past pain is a platform for God’s Glory. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. – Saul of Tarsus (aka the Apostle Paul)

“I believe; help my unbelief!” Mark 9:24 “Humanity falls into two equal and opposite errors concerning the devil. Either they take him altogether too seriously or they do not take him seriously enough.” – C.S. LEWIS “You cannot cast out the flesh and you cannot disciple a demon.” – Robert Morris

One of the best ways to DEEPEN your relationship with Jesus is to help others DISCOVER theirs.

The Purpose of Jesus’ Miracle isn’t necessarily to show His RAW POWER but to point to His REDEMPTIVE PURPOSE.

Will you build your life of the Rock of surrender to Jesus or the shifting sands of Self? Final Thought: “Give me all of you!!! I don’t want so much of your time, so much of your talents and money, and so much of your work. I want YOU!!! ALL OF YOU!! I have not come to torment or frustrate the natural man or woman, but to KILL IT! No half measures will do. I don’t want to only prune a branch here and a branch there; rather I want the whole tree out! Hand it over to me, the whole outfit, all of your desires, all of your wants and wishes and dreams. Turn them ALL over to me, give yourself to me and I will make of you a new self---in my image. Give me yourself and in exchange I will give you Myself. My will, shall become your will. My heart, shall become your heart.” CS Lewis, Mere Christianity

A TRUE friend is in the business of getting into your business. Do you have a friend like that? Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy. Proverbs 27:6
