The world is what we think it is

Steve Best spoke this morning and one thing he said really caught my attention. He said something along these lines, that we can't be a people that are saying one thing to God and then be living something totally different. I think thats such a good point and something to be remembered, and this is where the saying from Oliver Goldsmith comes in, "You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips". God hasn't called us to be a people that just "talks the talk", it says " For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power." 1 corinthians 3:20. We (which includes me) need to constently be checking if how we are SAYING we are living our lives is really how we are living them! That way we won't fall into the trap of "talking it, but not walking it". God has called us and the way we live to be an example to the world, not just our words. Anyone can talk it, but the challenge is to not only talk it, but to walk it as well!! Its not easy, but our God will "never leave us nor forsake us". So i challenge you and my self, if there are any areas of our lives that we our saying something and not doing it, STOP saying what you're not doing and do what you're saying!

Jesus blood, never fails me!

Our attitude is so important, it can literally change our lives. In these last couple of weeks I have been thinking alot about my confession, and my attitude. I dont think that we fully understand how much "power" there is in our confession, and in our attitude. A right attitude can change the day, and the right confession can change a situation! I think the most important thing is to be AWARE of your confession and attitude!! Many times we dont even think about the way we say things, or how our attitude is like. By being aware of that, we can change the confession and attitute thats not building up, and thats not bringing life. If we do that, we will really see a change in our lives. So with changing your attitude and confession, you will change your life, and bring life to those around you!
