Opportunity To Change


      Have ever said if I could go back and change something in my life I would. Or maybe I wish I could go back and know what I know now things would be different.  That is only true if the mind set is different. Think back over the years of your life do you think any different now than you did 5 or 10 years ago or maybe even a year ago. The thing is we always want to think we would do or be different. I live my life for years trying to be different about my walk with God. I was always doing the same old things over and over again. Going around the same old mountain over and over again.
 Matthew 17:20

New International Version (NIV)
20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”




    You know God gives us test in life and the thing is if you fell you get to take it again over and over until you finally get it. We have to have a mind set like my pastor said this past Sunday we have to stop the stinking thinking. Can I get real with you? The battle starts in the mind and our mind goes everywhere we go. So for me I had to change my mindset and get real with God. I have to take control over my thoughts. I have had a lifetime of junk fill my head something’s where put there from just living everyday life. Things I could not control but about 90% of the stuff I put there. So you talk about something hard to control a bunch of stinky thinking from a lifetime junk from the world. Do you think you can stop stinking thinking over night or with in a few days wrong? I had to first tell God I wanted to get control over my mess and I needed his help me because I am nothing with him. I now am putting as much of the word of God in my mind as I possible can. I do this thru the Bible, songs, books, preaching, and other Christian’s. I have to stay in the word of God daily and pray continuously. Self-control has always been a weak part of my life. To be able to think right takes a lot of self-control. I fell at that at times I just say God I messed up again I am going to dig a little deeper and get the roots of this stinking thinking out of my life.

 Romans 12:2

New International Version (NIV)
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is —his good, pleasing and perfect will.

     You see we all know we can’t go back and do over things in our life. We can change where we are right now. I had to do that very thing change my life. Change my life from living in fear and running from God. When I got the point that I wanted to be all God wanted me to be I felt like I could fly I felt light as a feather. There is no greater feeling than letting go and letting God have your life. So do you want to change something about your life you have the opportunity.  Just talk to God about it. Let him change you from this point on. There is and old saying: Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
