Good morning and Finally Friday. As we come into the final teaching of the month of Renew In February based on Psalms 51:10-13, Isaiah 40:28-31 and Ephesians 4:20-24 if we do know one thing there are things that makes individuals different from others. It may that you are not the same race, creed, belong to the same family, church home and many other things that makes us unique among the masses. So a person who wants to change some things in their lives may be different from the things that I want to change or someone else would. Some people love to go to gym to get fit and trim and even here some chose a trainer and others do not. Some people chose to run daily to get them ready for the day or healthier. Still others eat fruits and vegetables only as a way for them to feel better about themselves while others can not do without meat. As a people of Christ we need to find a way for ourselves as individuals to get closer to Christ. This can be done with a Personal Renewal.
As we come into this teaching I want to define the key word in this teaching and that is personal I go to my source of definitions and that is dictionary.com. Personal means as follows; intended for use of
one person; private; and relating to a particular person. As I have written many times no one knows what you need to do get renew your relationship with God but you. Coming from Romans 12:1-3 this is a Personal Renewal.
In beginning this teaching of Personal Renewal I go to the Word of God and Romans 12:1. In this verse it speaks of offering our bodies as a living sacrifice to God which is our duty. This verse is
intended for the use of one person. How you present your bodies as sacrifice to the advance of the Kingdom of God may differ from mine but it is what God gave you to do. Personal Renewal.
In continuing this teaching of Personal Renewal we go back to the Word of God and Romans 12:2. In this verse it tells of not having the world causing you to change but become transformed by renewing
your mind so that YOU can become acceptable to God. See this verse is private and is to be worked on by yourself. You can be told that the world is full of danger and strife but it is up to you to not be changed. Personal Renewal.
And as I come to the end of the Biblical portion of this teaching of Personal Renewal I go Romans 12:3. In this verse the writer Paul explains that no one should think more highly of another as being a
better that the next as we each have a portion of faith given to us by God. This verse is relating to that particular person who is thinks they are that much better than any other. The Word of God says we are all equal. Personal Renewal.
In closing this teaching could have gone deeper into this chapter but God gave me only the first three verses to teach on. I could have went against what he wanted but then what he gave me to teach was intended for me to teach on today. I have some things to grow in my life to make me better and stronger in life but that is a private matter between me and God. And even as a teacher of the Word of God I get into my feelings and start acting brand new so God has a particular person to humble, me, and he has on many occasions. We as a body of Christ can change the world but we have to begin by having a Personal Renewal. I give God all the glory and honor for this teaching. May God bless all that read who read this teaching and even those who do not. I want to tell everyone great job this month of February. If you get a chance please go to Rhema Word 2.0 for a teaching called Dreams. Please join me Monday for the theme of the month of March. Have a great weekend.
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
