Contrary to what many people think, there are blessings to be found in temptations.  Temptations are the Devils tool to get us to sin and destroy our relationship with God.  However, God takes those temptations when we are faithful and true to him, resisting the temptations thrown at us and turns them into good for us.  He tells us that He makes all things work together for good, for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.  He does that very thing with temptations.  They can strengthen us, help us to stand firm, to have a healthy relationship with Him.  They help to show our loyalty to him and more.   So when you resist temptation, you are building your life and walk with God to be stronger, more faithful, more obedient, more loving.   We all need to work on resisting the devil and his temptations because the scripture tells us that he will flee from us. 

There are definitely curses when it comes to temptation.  To begin with, temptations are in themselves a curse.  When a temptation succeeds, it is a life threatening sin.  It literally means to entice or lure and that is the what the devil is after, to lure us away from God and into sin.  So we want to be dareful not to give the devil that foothold in our lives.   The biggest challenge for us is that temptations are designed to attract the desires of the flesh that we all have.  So it is literally our desires James says that is the fault of falling for temptation.  God desires us not to fall to temptation and so we have His spirit and power to resist, if we so choose.  Once sin has been given root, it grows and poduces death.  Therefore we want to cut it off from taking root in our lives before it can get started.  Once it has started, it just gets more and more challenging for us to fight it and resist it.  Pray to God for His might to resist the devil and his temptations. 

There are some things that are needed in this life that cannot be minimized or disqualified as unimportant.  One of those things for the Christian is the biblical idea of harvesting souls.  You cannot shortcut the process, you cannot speed up the process, you can only work the process that God has put in place for souls to turn back to Him and enter His blessed eternal Kingdom.  These seven needs of that process are laid out in scripture and this message does a little bit to clarify that process.  It would take book to write down or speak on every point properly, so this is an overview of these points.  The purpose of this message is to highlight the needs and for the listener to do a personal evaluation of their involvement in the harvest of God's Kingdom.  If we can help you with this part of your walk or start you on your walk, please email us or call us and we will get started on a journey you will never regret.  God bless you in your walk with Him.

Many people have had many visions for the Lord's church.  All of those visions for the most part pass away with the passing of the visionary.  The struggle with most of these visionaries is that their vision isn't or wasn't God's vision.  God gave us a vision for His church and if we have the Lord's vision, they we will successfully be the Lord's church.  Other visions can lead us astray from the vision of the Lord.  Teh struggle for most people is threefold, it is first attaining the vision of the Lord, then is applying the vision of the Lord and third it is maintaining and not losing that vision as time goes by and things get challenging or complacent.  Let's embrace the Lord's vision for His church and the worship of His church and glorify Him and exalt Him as our living and reigning Savior and Redeemer.
