are you using the wrong key

Your circumstances and obstacles may seem like a maze that your lost in and can't find the way out. in every maze there is only one way out you may have set your focus on all the impossibilities, but have you looked for the way out ? Jesus is the way, He is the Truth He is life. Jesus is the key to life. in your hands you may have held a lot of different keys trying to overcome in your own strength and ability . the key that unlocks and open's the door to freedom that you have tried and tried to open is Jesus. you have been using the wrong key. lets call all those wrong keys baggage and perspectives. you ever see a large key ring with many keys ? you ever see someone who has a large key ring with many keys search for a certain key and they couldn't pick it out by looking at all the keys, they had to struggle and search and try every key before they found the right key to open the door that they were trying to open. many lost are using the wrong key, for some its addictions , parties, drinking , sex , money, material things, obsession over self image , gambling , bar on friday and saturday church on sunday. and the only thing that changes is life gets harder and harder using the wrong key many live in constant chaos and confusion.

Your life in your own hands will become more and more sinful, therefore leaving your heart hardened and cold . everyday you have a choice , you can choose to let the history of your past lead you in circles lost as in a maze or you can make the choice and say enough is enough and cry out to the Lord for His hel

dont lose your soul

what are you currently trying to gain that is causing you to lose your soul ? think about it what have you been pursuing more then God.

Luke 9:25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

Luke 12:15 And He said unto them, take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abudance of the things which he possesseth

don't let the devil deceive you. it may look like your gaining ground high paying job new things etc.. when actually you are losing ground fast as your path widens more and more towards destruction. think about it how much time do you spend stressing over when this why that how this how that? all the world can offer is temporary happiness , true joy is found in Christ alone. you just have to decide what do you want who will you serve and learn to be content.

Faith

Faith is a decision - that we make - where we are going to put our trust in God regardless of the circumstances when all things look impossible we can make the decision to keep believing that with God all things are possible. i know many things in life try to drowned out our faith and tempt us to doubt , but keep praying keep believing, just a mustard seed of faith will keep you standing even in the toughest battles.

Love is not the absence of suffering

Love is not the absence of suffering, but the realization that someone is worth the pain.” Jesus endured much suffering but because of His great Love He the pain was worth it He kept loving. His actions said they are worth it the pain is worth it. a punishment we rightly deserved Jesus endured for us. Jesus never gave up He endured all the way to the cross proving that love is stronger. arms stretched out in mercy reaching for us on the cross and He reaches for us even now . read Matthew 11:28-30 today and come to Jesus.

encouragement

never lose your focus in the storms no matter how hard things get no matter how much chaos or confusion comes your way don't lose your connection keep praying and clinging to hope that is found in our Lord Jesus Christ. as I posted earlier it's easy to quit and give up but it's worth it to fight and stand tough. be courageous in christ it's through Him that victory is achieved don't let satan deceive. whatever your going through no matter how much it doesn't make sense hold on Don't give up. sometimes we feel like we are drowning in a mess of circumstances and we feel like letting go and giving up. let me ask you this if you were swimming out in a lake and you looked up not realizing how far you have drifted from shore and you begin to struggle to make it back and all the waves are crashing against you and you become weary tired and weak would you quit swimming would you give up ? probably not right ? so don't give up now. if you were drowning in the water and a fishermen in a boat noticed you and through you a lifeline would you reach out for it and cling to it ? most would so in the storm your in will you open your heart and reach out to your lifeline the Lord Jesus Christ through prayer ?

heed this word

Don't complain when you taste your own medicine reaping back what you have sown. you want mercy and compassion from people sow it. you don't want to be gossiped about stop gossiping. you don't want people to look down on you then stop doing it to others. you don't like people being critical to you, stop being critical to others, come off of your high horse before the fall hurts you. maybe the fall from your high horse is what it will take for you to truly surrender your life to God, I don't know Im not Him.

sometimes people just do those things because . it doesnt always mean that your guilty of it yourself but some are and are now reaping what they have sown

A forgiving person

A forgiving person has much to offer . an unforgiving person has nothing good to offer. forgiveness is backed by actions. one can say they forgive you but when their actions clearly say that they haven't rather then argue back just stand still let God be your defense and pray for that person. you cannot expect someone to believe you when you say I forgive you yet your actions bash the person and you keep throwing their flaws in their face repetitively bringing up everything they have ever said or done wrong. forgiveness extends mercy love and compassion. you cant truly forgive and extend mercy compassion and love when you haven't truly accepted it From God or when you haven't truly forgiven yourself.

some people

some people just want what the world has to offer and what the world labels as success . through the motions with God they go trying to serve two masters loving one and hating the other. wearing a mask wanting everyone to think well of them people pleasing is their motivation not realizing what they treasure and value clearly shows. no real desire for the things of God its proven in their daily pursuits . seeking attention from the world , mind of bandage chained to the enemy's control . viewing things with a twisted perspective . may God lead you to a new perception a new heart and new mind new path new direction and open your blind eyes to see

something to think about

Too many times we view life troubles hardships obstacles and struggles from the wrong perspective and too many times we miss the lessons meant to be taught during these times and we miss an opportunity for growth & forward progress and so the cycle repeats again in attempt to teach us what we were supposed to learn the last time . Too many times when we have arguments & disagreements we see the other persons flaws and not our own. During those times God uses it to reveal our character flaws in attempt to bring correction and change to our hearts. We often miss the lesson because we are too focused on the other persons faults and flaws .

in tough times we can choose to become resentful or choose to let God use the detours in our lives to make us stronger and more like Him. the choice is up to us draw closer to God or become resentful in the tough times
