2-The secret to personal change is not will power, it is in knowing and facing the truth-

3-The battle with sin starts in your mind, not in your behavior-

4-The way you think determines the way you feel and the way you feel determines the way you act-

5-You are not what you think you are, but rather, what you think, you are-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it is written on-

 

I'VE LEARNED-The Bible wasn't given to increase our knowledge but rather to change our lives-

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    Acts 22:26-29

²⁶ When the officer heard this, he went to the commander and reported it. The officer said, “Do you know what you are doing? This man is a Roman citizen.”

²⁷ The commander came to Paul and said, “Tell me, are you really a Roman citizen?”
He answered, “Yes.”
²⁸ The commander said, “I paid a lot of money to become a Roman citizen.”
But Paul said, “I was born a citizen.”
²⁹ The men who were preparing to question Paul moved away from him immediately. The commander was frightened because he had already tied Paul, and Paul was a Roman citizen.

PRAYER FOR TODAY 

Father, we thank You for the divine power of Your Holy Word which is living and active, sharper than any double edged sword. It cuts through the facade we present to others and reveals the contents of our heart since nothing in all creation is hidden from Your sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before You, our Creator, to whom we must give an account. Search our hearts and cleanse us of our sins. Replace our selfish pursuits and prideful thoughts with Your love divine so that we will magnify Your holy name. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.



GREATLY BLESSED, HIGHLY FAVORED, IMPERFECT BUT FORGIVEN CHILD OF GOD
