CampfireTALKApril 2011  -  Week 2

Greetings!

April, a month of "new beginnings"!  What is new with you?  Seriously ...
What have you decided to embark on, or undertake ... that is new to you? 
The nice thing about new beginnings is that you are getting to start over, to make a fresh start ... to begin again, on a new venture!   

April is the month of Easter, the month of the Passover, the month in which we remember ... Jesus.  HE, the Son of God, chose to forever become a "man", and to come into the Earth and offer Himself up in the fashion of a "lamb sacrifice", so that "we" could, in exchange for His act, forever enjoy "right standing" with God ... or in other words, "righteousness"!  That's right, WE - ARE - RIGHTEOUS, because of Jesus sacrifice, and the covenant that He ratified as a result! 

This ... is is our NEW BEGINNING! 
It is ... YOUR NEW BEGINNING!!  Take it!  Grab it!   ... and BELIEVE!!

Make me proud!

Health Tips!

How many times have you set a goal to lose weight, and to drop those pounds ... only to have your goals dashed to pieces by a bad report ... from the bathroom scale! 

Shake it off!  Rebuke it!  And remember this!!  THAT BATHROOM SCALE IS "NOT" YOUR FRIEND! 
It's all about "pressure"!  The devil wants you to be under pressure, so that you fail! 

You forget, this is YOUR GAME!  You own the ball, and "we - play - 'til - you - win"!!  That's right, we don't call it a game until the final score is what YOU wanted!  After all, it's YOUR ball, right?  Well the same thing applies to this!  It's YOUR body!  You play ... until YOU WIN!  The devil is the "naysayer crowd" ... the ones who "boo" the players.  You're wasting your time listening to them, and him. 

Press on!  YOU ... are a WINNER, in Jesus! 
Remember what the Bible says ... it's all about "YES" and "A-MEN"! 
You are the head, not the tail - above, and not beneath, blessed coming in AND in your going out ... YOU - ARE - BLESSED!  (Deuteronomy 30) 
It's in your covenant!  Read it - study it - live it ... and WIN!! 

Oh, and the next time the devil puts the pressure on you, turn it around!  Put it back on HIM!!  Start confessing what you've prayed that you are, whether you are or you are not!  It is your FAITH that will put you through!  The devil is all about quoting what "is" ... GOD is all about what "is to be"! 

Make me proud!

  A Word from pastor Richbanner - WORD CHURCH -(sm).jpg


What are you good at? 

Think about it.  Deep inside you there is a gift, a talent, an ability that you can do ... possibly very well, that you do like no other.  It is a "gift"!  What are you going to do with that gift?  And how are you going to apply it in your life ... while you are here? 

When Jesus came into the Earth, He didn't just come here to die for us!  No!  He came to "show us" how to do it ... how we are to live our lives while we are here, in the Earth ... before men! 

In Mark chapter 16, we find where Jesus, just before He blasted off into the sky like all of these super heroes we see on TV ... He left us with these parting words to remember: 

Go into ALL THE WORLD and preach ...
And these signs will you see in MY BELIEVER'S: 

     1.  they will cast out demons ... in My name 
     2.  they will speak in other tongues 
     3.  should they take up serpents or drink any deadly poison ...
           it shall not harm them! 
     4.  they will lay hands on the sick ... and they shall recover! 

He told His disciples, "Greater works shall YOU do than I have ever done ..."
He said, "If you can believe, ALL THINGS are possible!"   Remember, He didn't say this about "pastors", our "church leaders", "TV preachers" or just the Apostles ... He said this about ALL OF US ... at least, those of us "who believe"! 

The bar is raised ... the example set.  Follow it! 

Make me proud!
