They choose community- a connection with others. We need to learn how to navigate through life’s disappointments. We need each other!!! Our values can not be world values. We should not forget the labor of love to help us. We need to check our expectations and adjust them to reality. Humanity is hurting inside. We only see the outside, not the inside. Focus on bigger picture. Life is about others as well as ourselves!! You need to expect disappointments in life, knowing God is over our life.</p>PastorCaryMejiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07416415266942831546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507267900129306132.post-31187814140087593692022-01-11T15:16:00.000-08:002022-01-11T15:16:51.286-08:00Broken Hallelujah’s<p> 2Kings 4:22-30. We need to be praising God. If not praising, we may be having a broken Hallelujah.</p><p>It may look like a Hallelujah, but can turn into a broken Hallelujah. Blessed one minute to broken the next. There is a war for our soul. What ever takes your heart is demonic. (Ex. Covid, sickness etc…)</p><p>We should look at this as going to be the best year ever. Be submitted to God and in love with Jesus Christ! We forget how much God loves us. He’s not surprised by what goes on in our life. We need to allow God to direct us and be submitted.</p><p><br /></p>PastorCaryMejiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07416415266942831546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507267900129306132.post-20514614498174351752021-11-02T15:11:00.000-07:002021-11-02T15:11:31.922-07:00When Promises Die<p> 2Kings 4:10-22. This woman stood strong with a heart of faith!! She did not complain, just trusted God. We need to not give up. Promises need to be shelved, for God’s timing.</p><p>Let God bring it to pass. Our life needs to be well adapted to God, not convenience. We want to be ready.</p><p>Having a contented heart, we can see great things. Sometimes God puts things in our life we can not conquer.

But stayed content, looking beyond it to help others. It’s unnatural to be content. It’s the grace of God. She saw a need and did something!! Her needs had been filled and her desires had been fulfilled. </p><p>She kept a Godly attitude through it all.

God responds in our emptiness, not when we are full. Pride causes God not to step in.</p><p>We need to throw ourselves on the mercy of God. Humility opens doors. If we are empty and have no answers, that’s the best place to be in relying on God. If you are empty or feel failure, you can begin again. Events change quickly. We don’t want God working against us.</p>PastorCaryMejiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07416415266942831546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507267900129306132.post-42395405383943880772021-08-23T17:25:00.000-07:002021-08-23T17:25:22.371-07:00Satan and the Seed<p> Matt. 13:3-4, 18-19. Jesus says the kingdom comes by hearing and can revolutionize our life. It’s a soul transformation!!! If you are broken, you can not fix you, you need to allow God to fix you. We need to grab what is being said. The seed comes quietly and gently.</p><p>Be the best hearer!! Listen, hear, and pay attention to God’s word. We need soft and open hearts. We need to be guarded against taking sermons for granted.. Really, what is the state of our heart, when the seeds are sown in us? Don’t become desensitized and trample on the Word of God!!!!</p>PastorCaryMejiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07416415266942831546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507267900129306132.post-64167752413535989832021-08-17T12:33:00.001-07:002021-08-17T12:33:55.132-07:00Junk Food for the soul<p> 2Kings 4:5 She received the word of God, because she had room in her heart to receive it.

Because we don’t believe.</p><p>The church people are not running to the church and to God. They are filled with their own ways.</p><p>Sin will harden our hearts. The word challenges us to do right.

She needed God. Being obedient to Him to go to others, empty. Then God could fill her.</p><p>Often in life, we need answers from God!! But we can miss God because his answers make no sense.</p><p>1. A lot of people today want spirituality on their terms. We need to die to our selves to be filled by God. Which is the key to abundant life. Being a part of a body with accountability. We need each other.</p><p>2. By our willingness to adapt our wills to the will of God, whether we understand. We grow step by step.</p><p>Be not full of yourself.

It matters where you put yourself. In God’s will, we are protected.</p><p>Strength comes from consecration and commitment. God honors our faith.</p><p>2. “There” was the place of God’s purpose. God’s appointment for service. </p><p>3. “There” was the place of God’s power. God’s place of provision. Not all promotion is from God. </p><p>4. “There” is a place of promise. God’s promises are true, even if we may not know why we need to be obedient to God.</p><p>5. “There” is a place of privilege.
