Ask

We have a wealth of the world's information at our fingertips with the Internet. A Google search seems to always find something related to the subject matter we are searching for. The key to a successful search is in knowing what to enter as the search words. But it does not just happen. You have to ask. So why do we expect God to answer us when we do not ask? ~ DickEvans.org

Reach Out

We have the source of all knowledge standing by, ready to jump in and assist us. Yet do we allow Him? God does not want us to go through our days alone. And all we have to do is turn to Him. He is always available. Isn't it time to reach out for Him? ~ DickEvans.org

Charged

When we are unsaved we are like a battery. We have the potential. We are a child of God, a child that is predestined for a purpose. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we find the charger but have not learned how to use it yet. Our potential is still untapped. As we plug into Him and allow the Holy Spirit to work in us we develop our relationship with Him, our battery becomes charged. ~ DickEvans.org

Selective Listening

We must be careful not to let others mislead us and pull us off the track God has for us. The more we ignore Him, the more often we will reap the wrong harvest. So let’s refine our listening and stop selective listening so that we hear all that He has for us. ~ DickEvans.org

Get Rid of Sin

Romans 7:18-19
For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do-this I keep on doing.

One day we called on Jesus name and asked for His forgiveness and to have Him come into our heart and save us. We are born again believers in Jesus Christ.

We cannot get rid of sin. But the Lord will help us get through it.

Sin is the result of giving in to Satan and his path which is designed to take us away from the path God has for us.

Jesus died not to take us away from sin. He died so we could be free from the penalty of sin. We are free forever. We are forgiven forevermore.

As believers who have Holy Spirit in us, we have no desire to sin anymore. And yet there we find ourselves, day after day. We know what we should do but we don't.

Thank you, Jesus, for forever forgiving us. For there is no longer a penalty when we miss it. All we need to do is realize what we did and put our gaze back on Jesus. Put ourselves back on the path He has for us.

He saved us not to get rid of sin. He saved us from the penalty of sin. Thank you, Jesus.

Changed

As believers, we should be changing and others should notice the difference in our lives. We aren’t a better believer because of the number of seminars we attend or the number of books we read. It not about what we know but who we know. As our relationship with God grows and we allow Holy Spirit to change us, we are changed into new and different people. ~ DickEvan.org

Influence

Sometimes in our efforts to reach out to serve others we can put our self in a dangerous place. We may position ourselves in a place that makes it easy for satan to tempt us right back into the sin that we thought we had dealt with. I believe if we cannot be a stronger influence on someone else than they are to us, we should keep our distance from them so we don't to fall into that same temptation again. ~ DickEvans.org
