MISSING GOD’S BLESSINGS
WE HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN US. HIS HEART BEATING INSIDE US AND WHEN THAT HEART TOUCHES ANOTHER PERSON’S HEART THROUGH OUR HEART THE LOVE OF GOD FLOWS AS A RIVER OF LOVE FROM THE THRONE OF GOD’S GRACE.
WHO COULD WANT TO STOP THAT FROM HAPPENING?
ANYONE WHO LISTENS TO THE LIES OF SATAN!
ANYONE WHO HAS PRIDE, ENVY, BITTERNESS, AND UNFORGIVENESS!
The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, 'Who can bring me down to the ground?'
Obadiah 1:2-4
he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions
1 Timothy 6:3-5
For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin."
Acts 8:22-24
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Colossians 3:12-14
NIV ALL ABOVE VERSES
WHEREVER THAT RIVER OF LOVE GOES IT BRINGS LIFE.
BUT THESE DAMS { PRIDE, ENVY, BITTERNESS, AND UNFORGIVENESS } WILL PREVENT GROWTH IN A CHRISTIAN’S LIFE.
John 6:41-45 (New King James Version
Rejected by His Own 41 The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” 42 And they said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.
IF OTHERS ARE GETTING OUR PASTOR’S MESSAGE IN OUR CHURCH AND WE ARE NOT, WE NEED TO CHECK OURSELVES TO SEE IF THERE IS SOMETHING IN US PREVENTING US FROM RECEIVING GOD’S BLESSINGS.
1 Corinthians 12:11 (New King James Version)
11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
IF WE ARE IN CHURCH AT THE TIME THE MESSAGE IS GIVEN WASN’T IT GOD’S INTENTION FOR US TO RECEIVE IT?
Titus 1:1-2 (New Living Translation)
Titus 1 Greetings from Paul 1 This letter is from Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I have been sent to proclaim faith to those God has chosen and to teach them to know the truth that shows them how to live godly lives. 2 This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life, which God—who does not lie—promised them before the world began.
THE BLESSINGS OF GOD HAS LESS TO DO WITH THE PERSON THAT IT FLOWS THROUGH THAN IT DOES WITH THE PERSON WHO RECEIVES IT, AND THE ONE WHO SENT IT, GOD ALMIGHTY.
John 7:16-18 (New Living Translation)
16 So Jesus told them, “My message is not my own; it comes from God who sent me. 17 Anyone who wants to do the will of God will know whether my teaching is from God or is merely my own. 18 Those who speak for themselves want glory only for themselves, but a person who seeks to honor the one who sent him speaks truth, not lies.
I KNOW IT’S VERY HARD TO LOOK BEYOND OUR OWN PAIN AT TIMES BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT THE COST OF LOSING ETERNITY WITH GOD, WHAT IS WORTH THAT OR REALLY ANY BLESSINGS THAT OUR HEAVENLY FATHER WANTS TO GIVE US WHAT OF OURSELVES IS WORTH THAT?
14 As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died. Gal.6:14 NLT
Live for You Lyrics
Words & Music by Chris Eaton and Chris Rodriguez
You have spoken in the sunset You have whispered words of comfort in the wind
You know everything about me
Before my life began, You held me in Your hand
You have walked these roads before me
You have known the pain a broken heart can bear
Won't You help me now to trust You
Every single day, I follow in Your way
Chorus
I live for You, I live for You
When I think of all Your love has done for me
I live for You, never looking back to what life used to be
I live for You and everything I ever thought was mine
I'd give it all away to have You in my life
I see You in the crystal waters
And I have felt You in the dark of my despair `
You have shown a love unfailing
A river running deep that's welling up in me
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
I know it's gonna take a sacrifice
I want to see the world through Your eyes
I live for You the rest of my life
Repeat Chorus

Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people. 4 Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes—these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God. Ephesians 5:3-4 NLT
WHAT DOES OUR LORD THINK OF THOSE WHO THINK THEIR VIRTUES ARE GREATER THAN OTHERS?
9 Then Jesus told this story to some who had great confidence in their own righteousness and scorned everyone else: 10 “Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: ‘I thank you, God, that I am not a sinner like everyone else. For I don’t cheat, I don’t sin, and I don’t commit adultery. I’m certainly not like that tax collector! 12 I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’ 13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’ 14 I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Luke 18: 9-14 NLT
10For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. 11For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker. 12Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 13because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment! James 2: 10-13 NIV
12 And I will forgive their wickedness,
and I will never again remember their sins.”
Heb. 8:12 NLT.
MAY OUR LORD THE CHRIST GIVE US ALL THIS GRACE.
EVERY CHRISTIAN HAS THE HOLY SPIRIT AND A BLESSING FROM GOD CAN COME FROM ANYONE OF US IF WE ARE NOT RECEPTIVE WE WILL MISS OUT.
SMILE GOD LOVES YOU DEARLY AND SO DOES ALEX
