Are you F.A.T.? & willing to change?

[WretchSaved]

In order to kick the gears into motion (dust off the cob webs), I am simply posing the question for now. So please! open your mind, open your heart, and .... As buzz did in the other thread where I replied, instead of beginning a new thread is :scratch his feathers....

Transformation 2007-2008

The # 7 denotes “the completion of”.
The #8 denotes “a new beginning”.

That being said, and taking a look at everything that is going on in our world today , I feel compelled to share this devotional with you.

We are a rapture forum. And I for one, believe that we are seeing more and more signs of the Return of our Lord and Savior.

In this first section, I want to focus on December 31st, 2007, as it was “the completion of” the year of our Lord, 2007. I will be making 3 basic points as to how I feel we must handle ourselves in order to maintain our wait upon His coming.

I
<Romans 13:11-14>
11And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

In order to begin something new, we must make sure that what we have set out to do, will not be hindered by things left undone. How many of you resolved last year to do something and have not found the time to finish it? Thus in order for the new to be successful, we must learn to leave things behind. Especially those things that may hinder, what we need to do to carry on our lives following God. “The completion of” is necessary to “a new beginning”.

So what do we need to leave behind? Let go of?
1.Resentment (unforgivingness)
2.Worries (get out of the rocking chair, it can take you nowhere)
3.Failures (in order to succeed one must let go of previous failures) End with failure=start with failure=end with failure, oh what a vicious cycle.

< I Kings 8:33-34>
33 "When your people Israel have been defeated by an enemy because they have sinned against you, and when they turn back to you and confess your name, praying and making supplication to you in this temple, 34 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel and bring them back to the land you gave to their fathers.
