IT'S TIME

Have you thanked Him?
Have you praised Him?
Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?
Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?
1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)
The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

Deuteronomy 30:19 (ERV)
Today I am giving you a choice of two ways. And I ask heaven and earth to be witnesses of your choice.
You can choose life or death. 
The first choice will bring a blessing. The other choice will bring a curse.
So, choose life!

Last night after a LONG day of travel and as the last event for the day was winding down I was blessed to hear “Brandon’s” story.  And while it was like A LOT of recovery stories what made his unique was HOW he came to decide to leave the drugs/alcohol behind and CHOOSE life!

He shared that in a drug induced haze the LORD provided a vision.  
It was a vision of his funeral. 
And it was during that vision that Brandon received his message from the LORD.

“It’s Time”

Super simple.
“It’s time Brandon to step away from the curse and choose life with Me!”

I am happy to report Brandon heeded that call and now is doing some remarkable things in Adams, County Ohio.

Oh, the POWER of our choices.
There comes a time in the spiritual journey when you start making choices from a very different place. And if a choice lines up so that it supports truth, health, happiness, wisdom and love, it's the right choice. - Arrien

That is most certainly true of Brandon!

I share this to remind all of us today how important it is to CHOOSE LIFE; to CHOOSE wisely; to CHOOSE to follow our Lord’s leading. GOD has clearly laid out the alternatives; death (sin) and life (obedience) in that verse above.

The rest is up to us.
The great news is when you choose life…
the Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy you with all good things, and keep you healthy too; and you will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. Isaiah 58:11 (NLT)

We get our new life from the Spirit...
Galatians 5:25 (ERV)

Seems simple enough?
Is "IT TIME" for you too?
Choose wisely!


Have a blessed weekend…
I love you all!
