Good evening and Marvelous Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we continue in the month of Reflection and Projection in December based on Psalms 121:1-6, Philippians 1:19-23 and 2nd Timothy 4:6-8 we are exactly 10 days away from the beginning of the year 2015. Looking at the end of this year we still have issues such as young people killing young people, the lack of respect of society of others things and property, and there is even the matter of denominations of churches who are not getting along because of different ideals and beliefs. But should we just sit back and let the enemy take over and be in control. I say that we do something about all of this and make a drastic change in the lives of ourselves as well as others. We are God's people which means that we can change things with him in control. I say we Turn the World Upside Down.
In order for the world to change we must do some things differently as a people of God. Yes things such as prayer works and we have the power to heal individuals and groups. But these are times that
need to be a drastic change. as we are losing more and more youth, the disrespect of others has gotten worse and churches are at each others throat. It is time that We Turn the World Upside Down. This teaching will come from Acts 17:5-8.
As I begin this teaching of Turning the World Upside down I begin in Acts 17:5. In this verse after Paul has taught about Jesus in the town of Thessalonica, (Acts 17:1-4), the people are up in arms
about this. The are resistant to this new way of life. We as a people of God as we go into the streets and into different areas to teach the gospel there is going to be resistance but we have to Turn the World Upside Down.
In going to the Word of God again for this teaching of Turning the World Upside Down I go Acts 17:6. In this verse the people drag out Jason and those with Jason out into the street upset about the
teaching of Jesus and take them to the leaders of the town and are accused of "Turning the World Upside Down". For those who don't respect the property or things of others they are not going to want change but it will because God is with us as we are Turning the World Upside Down.
In coming the Biblical conclusion of this teaching of Turning the World Upside Down I go to Acts 17:7-8. In this passage the people have accused Jason and others of teaching of a new king besides
Caesar, and his name is Jesus. This troubled the powers that be. We as a people must have our churches come together so the world can see that is really one name above all, that is Jesus. Turning the World Upside Down.
In closing this teaching we have the power of God on our side. With him there is nothing that is impossible. Yes the youth is not going to want to hear the same message of its going to be okay when they feel they have no way out but violence and drugs. Yes those who take things from others such as cars, phones and even spouses see what they are doing is right. And yes every person or church who claims to have the advancement of the kingdom as their only agenda may be corrupt or crooked. But when you Turn things Upside Down the wicked will not be able to hide (Psalms 146:9) and God will remove them from our midst (2nd Kings 21:13). Let's begin today. Let's Turn the World Upside Down. I give God all the glory for this teaching and ask that he watches over and blesses those who are committed to turning the world upside down. Have a great week. Please join me Saturday for my teaching called Reflection and Projection with Christ.
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. This past month I was riding with my friend Angela Francis. On this particular day she had to go get her hair done and her friend Roxanne' shop. I had done this numerous times in the past so when I was getting ready to leave I told Angela I was going to the forest preserve to sit and wait as she got her hair done. At the forest preserve I would be able to do two things while I was there. I would be able to think of ideas for my blog, my radio show and my daily postings on Facebook. When you attempt to write you sometimes get writer's block and need to get to a different atmosphere ( Hmmm Writer's Block may be a blog soon LOL ). The other reason I wanted to go to the forest preserve is because it was hot that day and I needed some shade. So as I approached the forest preserve I put on my left turn signal and waited for traffic coming southbound to clear. After
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. Growing up we used to love to take pictures. Maybe not myself because I had a self confidence problem, but everywhere you went there was someone taking pictures. In grammar school we took pictures every week. In high school we took them every year. At church we took pictures. In the club we took pictures as a group to show we all went to a party. Most of the pictures we took were with a Polaroid camera which had great quality then. But if you wanted the best pictures you wanted the photographer to take your pictures. This was one of the coolest professions back then because all the ladies who wanted to be models or actresses had to go to the photographer to get that photo to take to the different agencies to show how they look. So in order to get the best quality the photographer had to go someplace where he could get the best results. It was his Dark Room. This is the na
Good morning and Happy Friday. The summer is now beginning and the weather is now reaching its highest temperatures. It has reached a high point of 90's so far in the Chicagoland area and it appears to be nothing in sight to relieve us of these conditions that are almost drought like. As the summer gets ready to start in earnest next week we anticipate the warmest temps of the year after a winter that saw a little snow but the hawk, ( that's what we call the wind in the CHI ) was in full effect. But the sun has been out daily and we need a little moisture in our lives. We expect things to get wet in order for us to not only cool off but to wash away some things and bring a freshness of new things in our lives. The hotness of the weather coincides with the hotness in our lives. We need things to cool off a little bit but need some things to come down so we can enjoy the things in our lives that is promised to us as Christians. We are faithful and trusting in his Word. So as we
