Greetings!
"Our Next Chapter" (1of 5)
No matter what we are experiencing whether good or bad in our lives, there are some areas where change is absolutely needed!
Thus, each new moment, hour and day brings us opportunities to make those needed changes, to actually fuel action to our desires and dreams!
Yes, many of us have had so many chapters in our current experiences of life that instead of referencing a next chapter, we need to start a brand new book!
However, whether it is "Our Next Chapter" in our current situation or in a brand new circumstance, each of us should make commitments to think or act differently in some area of our lives!
Dr. Phil says "He wants us to get excited about our lives!"
This definitely describes God's desire for us!

"Our Next Chapter" (2 of 5)
How many times does excitement ignite us but not last long enough to REALLY BIRTH CHANGES IN OUR LIVES!
Some of us need to recognize that we are in toxic relationships with certain friends or unfortunately even family members, that
instead of propelling us into maximizing our potential, we are being weighted down with their negativity.
God NEVER intended us to GIVE ANYONE or ANYTHING that degree of power over our lives to determine the quality of life we experience.
Only God is to have that degree of "Lordship" in our lives!
On the other hand, if self-centeredness is actively consuming our attention and fueling our actions, then most definitely there must be changes!
|
"Our Next Chapter" (3 or 5)
Some of us need to realize that our own thinking and actions have been the greatest enemy to our greatness and effectiveness!
What changes do we need to make in the environment around us; is it uncluttering our lives with items we have not used since the turn of the century?
Is it the place "we are calling' home which does not present the best physical, emotional or spiritual environment for us?
Whatever it is, to ignite excitement into our lives, WE MUST MAKE SOME CHANGES!
The most efficient guide for making the necessary changes in "Our Next Chapter" is by listening and obeying the voice of
our Great God who truly loves us and wants the best for our lives!
It is a deeper search of His Word, meditating and fellowshipping with Him to find out what He will reveal of our inward thoughts which propel our actions!

"Our Next Chapter" (4 of 5)
We are reminded in Proverbs 20:27 NLT- The LORD's light penetrates the human spirit,* exposing every hidden motive.
To begin "Our Next Chapter" our constant prayer must be Psalm 139:23-NLT- Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Biblical scholar Albert Barnes reflects of this Scripture:
"The psalmist had stated ...that as God could know all that there is within the heart, He would examine him with the
closest scrutiny, so that he might be under no delusion or self-deception; that he might not indulge in any false hopes; that he might not cherish any improper feelings or desires.
The prayer denotes great "sincerity" on the part of the psalmist.
It indicates also self-distrust. It is an expression of what all must feel who have any just views of themselves - that the heart is very corrupt; that we are liable to deceive ourselves; and
that the most thorough search "should" be made that we be "not" deceived and lost.
And know my thoughts -The idea is, Search me thoroughly; examine not merely my outward conduct, but what I think about;
what are my purposes; what passes through my mind; what occupies my imagination and my memory; what secures my affections and controls my will."

"Our Next Chapter" (5 of 5)
"Our Next Chapter "begins with revamping our own lives with the help of the Lord and not blaming others regardless of how their words or actions could negatively influence our lives. With God's help, we must take charge of our own life to bring forth change in "Our Next Chapter" and not depend on others to do it for us!
We must seek, trust and rely on what God speaks to our heart, the direction He gives and be willing to be obedient so that "Our Next Chapter" will be brand new, exciting and rewarding! We must stop going around the same dead-end mountain!

| Words from the Heart!
Good Afternoon Dr. Lewis! To be blessed and to know it is awesome! We have Jehovah's Blessed Assurance that all is well and according to the Master Plan and Purpose. For The Battle Is Not Our It's the LORD!! Many thanks much love! God Bless Sis. P
Good morning Dr. Lewis and Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family. Just finished reading your weekly newsletter and it brought so much joy to my heart. The video clip with the grandparents fighting at the hospital had me laughing so hard. I felt so good laughing! It is amazing how much time I spent being so serious and overlook the little blessings in humor. Thanks for the gift of laughter. Wow! The oil change article is insightful, a true eye-opener. I can't even remember the number of times I've taken my car to the shop for this service. Oh, let me not forget the post 50 concerns. So true for me. I am believing the Lord for a financial breakthrough. This year I worked 2 hrs daily for the entire year. As much as looked for employment, nothing seemed to work. Though I thank God for the little things, I am surely ready for full-time employment. So, I can relate to the article from my own personal experience. Thank you. I can go on and on. There is so much to elaborate on. I simply want to extend my appreciation to you for ALL the articles, video clips, and wonderful and insightful messages in 2011. I wish you Many more productive years ahead. May God bless you and keep you in great health and spiritually filled. I love and appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. Love you-J G
Hey Dr. Lewis, Thank you so much for the Word of the day! It is a wonderful thing that we can have that Blessed Assurance! Just to know that the Lord is always with you and He will bless you when He knows the time is right. We don't always know it but we are always blessed Just because we have the Lord in our lives. Love you lot's! LV
Thanks Dr.T. Hope you and family had a wonderful Christmas. I just thank and praise God for Blessing us to see another day with our life health and knowing He is the reason for the season. God is good. Love and Blessing to you and family. RS
Dear Dr. Lewis: It is part of my daily devotion to thank God for His blessed promises and His blessed assurances. Glory be to Almighty God!!! I knew your message was coming so I waited to add this message to my response. I thank you for the many messages we shared all through this wonderful and glorious 2011 year. The 2012 year will even see more blessed promises and assurances from God our Father, through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Have a very Merry Christmas and a very Prosperous New year 2012!!! KC
Hi Doctor Tonya, thanks for remembering me God bless merry Christmas Sister MG
