Everyone is EXACTLY Where They Want to Be In Life...RIGHT NOW!
March 21, 2021
So today, we’re going to discuss something is very near and dear to my heart – one that I had firmly believed in, and swore by, trained on, and was an expert in…..until I realized, or should I say, GOD revealed to me directly, that I was on the right track, just not HIS TRACK with this mindset. So, like so many other revelations and He’s provided me these past couple of years, it’s completely transformed my way of living, and of course by that, I also mean my final destination with Him in Heaven. The topic I’m referring to is – “Everyone (that includes YOU and me, my friends), is EXACTLY where they (you and I) want to be in life - this very moment in time.
I’ve been in the church many years in my life and sometimes I believe that we go to church so much, it’s become almost routine. Meaning, I wonder if people REALLY listen to the Word of God and apply it to their life on a daily basis, vs. on an as-needed basis.
Based on conversations with many people I know (and it was me included), we praise God in church with raised hands and worship coming out of our mouths on Sundays, but during the week, we’re not speaking ANY LIFE – PERIOD!
Prior to about 2 years ago, that prior statement was COMPLETELY ME, except, I SKIPPED CHURCH TOO for MANY, MANY years! I felt good on a Sunday but by Sunday evening, I was starting to have the Monday “Blues”, out came the bottles. Minus the bottles, does this hold any truth or similarity to YOUR life and the way you’ve been living it? If NOT – GREAT!!! You’re blessed and so am I for having you as a loyal listener to this broadcast!!!! Please, do stay!
If you ARE, then please, DO STAY AND LISTEN – YOU are the EXACT and ONLY reason God has me doing this podcast! It’s because I’ve lived half my life, or a little bit more on your side of the fence, and for the first time, God showed me the mirror – called me out of rebellion, out of pride, out of the ‘world’, out of self-love, sin, and shame. He shook me awake and flipped my life upside down inside a week's time and I’m still on my knees thanking Him for saving me!!!! I can’t tell you, I simply cannot tell you HOW MANY TIME – Thousands, at LEAST and many years I prayed out to Him – “Lord, please save me from MYSELF!” I didn’t know what needed to change but I knew most everything needed to change – I just didn’t know what, where, how much, or HOW to, but I was just smart enough with just enough faith, as small as a mustard seed to know to pray to him that exact prayer until He answered it. And He answered more than I could’ve ever imagined or prayed for, exactly. I didn’t realize I was living for the world and myself in the world because I had been blinded by the enemy and had scales covering my eyes, my ears were shut, and my heart was solid rock. If today’s message is resonating with you, then God has truly lived up to His promise to me that I needed to put what he’s placed on my heart and would out to whoever would open their eyes, ears, heart, and would to heart His words for them, through this podcast message. I thank you for raising your figurative hand and saying, yeah, Ben, that’s me – you’re talking about me right now.
