Jesus Changes Lives
When God touches you, your life changes. Never again are you ever the same. I don't know if you're reading this and your life is just falling apart right now. Or it may not even be falling apart but you've just done so many things or have tried the same things and nothing seems to work, nothing seems to make you happy... Well I got news for you.
JESUS CHANGES LIVES
Jesus changed my life. And for those of you who don't know me, I was in a pit! The deepest, darkest, ugliest pit you could imagine. I was looking all around me and all the things that people said that would make me happy, I tried them. All the ways people said I should live, I did it. And you know what? I was on a high for a little while! But I was sprinting so fast towards this world that I didn't even know the floor came out from under me until I was mid-fall about to hit rock bottom..
When Jesus is your center and your focus your life changes! You're not the same person you used to be and people notice! Where there is destruction God provides safety, where there is anxiety God provides peace, where there is defeat God provides hope, where there is uncertainty God provides direction.. whatever it is that you need, ANYTHING, just name it and it can be found with God.
Before I continue though, I just want to take a second and just hit some of you with a wake up call real quick.. but GOD LOVES YOU!
Did you know that? God died for YOU! God has big, GREAT plans for YOU. You are so LOVED!! I can't stress that enough. No matter where you've been, no matter what you've done, you can even come to Him with a giant list of reasons why He shouldn't forgive you and you know what? He doesn't care, He still will. And it's all because He loves you!
And man, I know some of you need some love. I know some of you need some hope. So go get it! Jesus isn't a hard guy to find, you just have to seek Him!
Jeremiah 29:12-14 "Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile."
JESUS CHANGES LIVES Some of you I know are fed up with the way your life is going. And if thats you, I have the pleasure of telling you the wonderful news that Jesus is your answer.
1 Corinthians 2:9 "But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”
Isaiah 40:29-31 "He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint."
Philippians 4:19 "And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus."
Romans 8:37-39"No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us."
A life with God is victorious! You want a life full of prosperity? You want a life of peace? Are you tired of feeling miserable and angry and anxious and feeling the heaviness of life on your shoulders? Then your answer is Jesus! And you know what? He's in the business of changing lives yall. And He will change yours.. He'll take care of you. All you have to do is run to Him.
I got a lot of good feedback on posting a prayer last time so for those of you that are interested, here is a prayer
"Dear Lord, thank you for loving me. Thank you for providing me with hope even when life seems so dark. I've tried living on my own and I want more! I don't know where to go, but I ask that you would take over my life and that you would show me a life of abundance with you. Thank you that I don't have to rely on my own strength and that your arms will always be there to catch me when I fall.
I love you Lord. In Jesus name I pray, Amen."
