Shattered Image

Shatter the Old Image!

You are not presently all that you are going to be.  God has more in store!  What may look like a delay, a disappointment or a failure in your eyes, is only a part of the “forming” that God is doing in your life right now.  Don’t be afraid to shatter the old “image” and the old patterns of behavior — someone much better looking is just on the other side! 
 
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:  For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. — James 1:23-24

 

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. — Galatians 5:1

 

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. – Galatians 5:13

 
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. – Romans 6:22
 
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. — Romans 8:2
 
My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, — Galatians 4:19

You’ve Got the Goods!

You’ve Got the Goods!

Everything is a seed!  Your time, your talent, your finances, your ingenuity — whatever you’ve got can produce results.  So, what are you waiting for?  Plant whatever “seed” you’ve got and watch God multiply it and bless it!

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7)

 

 

Don’t hold on to what you’ve got in your hand – 

“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do [so].” (Proverbs 3:27)

 

Give and it shall be given – “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” (Luke 6:38)

Minister one to another with whatever gift you’ve got – “As every man hath received the gift, [even so] minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” (1 Peter 4:10)

Recognize That You are a Container Filled with Potential

  • April 12, 2010 9:42 am

The scientific definition of potential is “stored energy.” There is divine energy stored inside you. Genesis tells us that Adam was in-spired (“breathed into”) by God. God’s inspired life inside of you becomes a force – an anointing – waiting for release.

Psalm 139:14“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: marvellous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well.”

 

Colossians 1:27b – … Christ in you, the hope of glory:”

 
2 Corinthians 6:16 — “And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”

Be Persistent!

  • April 1, 2010 9:51 am
Be Persistent Decide now that you are willing to work hard. Success is a marathon, not a sprint. 

Ecclesiastes 5:3 – “The dream comes through a multitude of business, labor, toil and events which occasion much fatigue…”

Proverbs 22:29 —  “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings;He will not stand before unknown men.”

2 Peter 3:14 — “And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for things to happen, make every effort [be determined] to live a pure and blameless life. And be at peace with God.

 
Psalm 112:7 — “He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.”

 
Isaiah 50:7 — ” For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.”
