Deflection; It's All YOU, God

We had TWO marvelous and so inspiring msgs. today from our pastor, Brother Stan. This morning's msg. had soooo many wonderful points but I want to keep your attention here so you'll continue reading and even onto tonight's awesome msg. as well. I will try to be brief :)
QUESTION FOR YOU:
Is Christ your most treasured possession?
GET IT RIGHT and TODAY---RIGHT NOW!
Trust God as your Savior!
If you ARE a believer, then you know that being a Christian, does NOT guarantee a "trouble-free" life, tho there are those who may think along these lines(possibly non-believers).
What keeps Christians strong(or should anyways) is that GOD IS GREATER. Our salvation has very little to do with US and is all about God.
IF we strive to the best of our ability(we 'do it' God's way in other words), we can and WILL succeed in ALL we endevor. We NEED to realize and FAST that the cross(meaning Christ's sacrifice) is sufficient--Christ IS enough.
Verses I STRONGLY encourage you to study/read: Romans 8:3-4 and Ephesians 2:1-10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our p.m. msg. had a totally different 'flavor' if you will than this morning's msg. but was no less powerful nor meaningful.
Brother Stan read the entire passage written by David in Psalm 27. He also quoted from Psalm 73:26(read all of these for some 'enlightening' news and wonderfully inspiring reading!
TO OVERCOME FEAR WHILE HERE ON EARTH...we should:
1) Gain CONFIDENCE(in God)
2) PRAISE(God)
3) Have OBEDIENCE(to God)
4) Get CLOSE TO HIS WORD/TEACHING(Bible)
If we can do the above 4 mentioned, we will gain an INNER PEACE beyond all recognition.
Remember the verse that states, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall NOT WANT"?
God IS our LIGHT and SALVATION.
ALWAYS strive to seek God's presence ALWAYS----We should ALL make that our life's goal!
Can the God we know and love take care of us?
You bet He can AND will however He needs to!!
The TIGHTER we cling to God, the less worries/strife/hopelessness we have in this old world and our worldly flesh ties.
Joshua 1 states for us to ...'be strong and corageous'.
God IS good AND all the time.....IF we keep our faith, honor, praise to HIM, then HE in turn, will keep HIS promises to us!
Thank-You, Lord for sending Jesus to die on that old tree(cross) for me as I was a sinner so NOT worthy of YOUR Love and Grace!
