Ready... Set... CHANGE!!!

Tuesday, June 12th> Romans chapter 12 In what way does the habit of not allowing the Holy Spirit to renew our hearing prevent us from forming vital relationships within the body?  All believers have some sort of hurtful past that God used to draw us to Him.  Whether it was a broken marriage, death of a cherished loved one, or abuse in one form or another, we all have what you might call a "rap sheet" of pain.  So when we move into our new life, it's a necessity that we allow the Holy Spirit to strip away the old way of hearing what people say to us. The enemy has a very effective strategy for creating strife between believers that MUST be exposed.  As our pastors have already ministered, we had "feelers" to detect any wrong intentions towards us as a defense mechanism.  But now that we are part of the Body of Christ, that old system only causes confusion and stagnation in the kingdom.  News flash, people of God: PUT DOWN YOUR DEFENSES!  GET RID OF YOUR WEAPONS!  We are all now on the SAME SIDE!  Our weapons of war are NOT carnal, and if used, they only work to STRENGTHEN the enemy.  Our fight is NOT against one another. Only when we get this revelation and allow the Holy Spirit to change the way we hear will we truly be able to become THE BODY.  Brain cells will align to function correctly; the circulatory system will do its part.  The immune system will defend from OUTSIDE forces rather than against itself.  And God's kingdom will truly advance in these last days.  Aren't you READY to move forward?  Then let's go!!!
