Live it

Sermon by Pastor Russel Evans =)
I hope he doesnt kill me for posting his sermon but...
here goes nothing..

The first step to getting a breakthrough is learning how to recieve from God

Many Christians complain that they dont recieve any of God's blessings..
One reason why this could be is because, the truth is God hands us alot of stuff,
but somehow, our hands are always filled with other stuff, so we cannot pick the things he gives to us up.
We juggle too many things in our lives, holding on to things of irrelevance.
We cant open the word if our hand isnt open to recieve or is filled with too many other things
We cant recieve the blessings of God is our hand isnt open to recieve or is filling with too many other things.

Now that we can recieve what do we do?
Many Christians stop here at step one.
Some others stop at reading the word.
Some others stop at proclaiming the word.

Many of us forget to live it..

Why is it that we dont do all these things?
Imagin a bear in a cage in a zoo..
All it does all year is pace around, around and around...
So when the zookeepers finally decide to let it go free,
All it does is just pace around, around and around..
Because its mind has been conditioned to do this, its all its been doing for years..
Sin is our cage.. we've been doing this for years and years, so when Jesus came to die for us and set us free, all we thought about was just sinning somemore..
But it is nothing but a mental barrier.. it can be overcome..
All it takes is one step of faith in the right direction.
Breakaway and change your patterns of sin into patterns for the lord, to a pattern of breakthrough..

We've been saying speedlights gone cold and needs a revival,
But what have we been doing?
Are we really Recieving? Reading the word? Proclaiming his promises? Living in him?
All it takes is a step of faith..
Live a life of breakthrough.
Resist and fight because youre a soldier of God!
