Tick Tock Tick Tock



Many people take for granted the fact that their friends and family will not always be around. Day in and day out they miss the opportunity to really enjoy quality time with those who have invested into their lives in a positive way. Folks what I’m discussing here is the art of appreciation and learning to spend time with those who truly value you. We should value our time, and spend it with those who are truly valuable and worth of our company. God forbid that this person you value comes down with some illness. While you were out wasting your time with someone who has broken your heart or will break it-or if your trying to make that person apart of you heart; the fact is your missing quality time with the one who already loves you, Christ Jesus.  Where is this all coming from you ask?

               Well like you I too have someone who I value and love greatly. She is a wise Woman of yrs and she raised two boys in Christ when it all didn’t seem possible. Folks this Wise Woman is my beautiful Mother. What Sparked this particular article was the sad and shocking discovery of my Mother being diagnosed with stage 3B Breast Cancer!
As I ran around all day with her throughout various offices and meetings it hit me. Although I have faith in God to deliver my Mother, tomorrow is never promised to ANYONE! To say that you can guranentee  you will wake to see the sunrise is FALSE! Thos who you truly love will die Someday! No I’m Not EMO! & yes I have a point!

Life is filled with uncertainties! So why not be sure of one thing…. And that’s where you will choose to spend eternity! Yeah you can attempt to live life ignorant of the truth and dodge it or put it off. But one day you are going to have to answer to God! Sadly when that day comes if you lived it spending time with others and not with him who values you enough that his son died for you on the cross? Then where you reside for eternity might be mighty HOT!
REPENT,BELIEVE & SPEND LIFE WITH GOD NOT WITH GODLESS PEOPLE!

Walk in Faith or In Failure

Galatains 5:21-25

Root Word: Spirit
Greek:Pneuma (pnyoo-mah)
Meaning: Rational Divine Spirit, Holy Spirit

Root Word: Flesh
Greek: Kachash (kakh-ash)
Meaning: Failure of flesh, figurativley-hypocrisy

Root Word: Lust
Greek Word:Pachaz (pakh-az)
Meaning: Overflow or passion, or desire

Defined Words:

Emulations: Effort or desire to equal or excel others

Sedition: Incitement or discontent or rebellion against a government

Lasciviousness: Arousing sexual desire

Variance: an instance of varying; difference; discrepancy

Revellings: to make merry: indulge in boisterous festivities

The flesh is seen here in battle with the spirit, these two desire or Pachaz to be in control and to lead us down a path; one of righteousness and the other of sinful pleasure.
The Spirit in which is spoken of in this text of that of the Holy Spirit which is the Spirit of God, whom has come down and taken root within each one of us. This then is the Spirit we are urged to walk in and live by daily in order to keep at bay the lustful desires of the flesh.
Our flesh is that of Failure or Kachash; when walking in the flesh we are literally walking in the state of failure an figuratively in the state of hypocrisy! Therefore it is detrimental for us to walk in God's word which entail will allow us to walk in the spirit. With that we are able to face all temptation of the flesh and thwart off the devils plans.

Application:To walk in the flesh is to be a walking failure, yet if we are to constantly seek God's face and stay in his word and presence being ministered unto by the Holy Spirit our sins will be that much easier to face. So finally Brothers & Sisters allow not your flesh overcome the battle between it and the Holy Spirit, yet succumb unto the will of God and Live!
