RENEWING YOUR MIND TODAY
As I was listening to a sermon, I looked at the large CROSS on the wall behind the altar; suddenly,I saw an illuminated image of the CROSS image (to the right--->) was revealed to me.
Scripture says:
"This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance, Christ came into the World to Rescue Sinners."
Just like the life-ring, Christ is offering you a life-ring to Save you. He is the Life Savior.
I was talking with a friend of mine, and she said "I'm sorry, can't talk right now; we are heading off to church for a Revival." Within seconds, God gave me the acronym for FIRE - Faith Ingnites Revival Everywhere. She was blown away by it and shared it with her Pastor. That evening they had an extremely successful Revival meeting.
You can have all the greatest programs, but without Faith it is impossible to start the FIRE. Just like a fire ring, you can have all the kindling, paper, and logs, but without the spark, you have nothing more than a pile of potential.
I have heard the letters of the word FAITH as Forsaking All I Trust Him, and though I agree this is an awesome acronym, God wanted the acronym to compliment the Scripture in Hebrews 11:1. Faith begins when you begin to Trust Him, and this gives us such a Blessed Assurance. I have told people, "I don't want to sell Fire Insurance, rather Life Assurance. I would also like to point out that James speaks about "Faith without Works is worthless." FAITH is our relationship and connection with God, Works are a direct result of that FAITH that empowers others to see our FAITH in action and then believe.
Furthermore, I would like to state that this was the very first Acronym God gave me.
The Story of the Acronyms:
The idea of the acronyms came to me in 1999. At first, I was thinking.... What would everyone in the United States pay a dollar for? A word that would change their life? I had heard acronyms like PUSH - Pray Until Something Happens and thought their must be many more that hadn't been developed yet. Thus, I reflected on a word, and God gave me the definition within moments. It started with the word HOPE - Have Only Positive Expectations and then the words began to pile up. The Gift from God has become a great way to be intuned with God's voice.
I was reflecting on the Acronym for PAST- Put Aside Shadowed Times, when I had spoken the word enough, it dawned on me that the word PASTOR needed a meaningful acronym. I believe that God really nailed that one!
A Pastor's role is merely to Prepare Another Soul To Obtain Redemption, too often, however, I see PASTORs burning out from being overworked. DO NOT LEAVE ALL THE MINISTERIAL NEEDS TO THE PASTOR. Each member of the congregation needs to assist the PASTOR with various tasks like visiting the sick, Praying for others, etc.
