"The Comback"

I've always been into comebacks. God is all about our comeback. He has destined us to come out on top and be the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath. Maybe some today are plaqued by past failures. Some of them could have been as recently as this morning! We must realize that grace is greater than all our sins, slips & shortcomings. In the last blog we talked about the life of Sampson. We focused on the "pain of price" that he paid through stinking thinking & stupid decisions. We must never make any mistake about it, there is a high price to low living! However there is another side to the story. In the midst of shame, He beseeched the Lord to give him strength to shake himself one last time. God granted it to him enabling the pillars to come upon the philistines. It goes onto say one of the most amazing & astounding things "So the dead that he slew in his death were more than they which he slew in his life." Simply stating the best is yet to come! Lets get back into the game, the final score has yet to be posted on the scoreboard! Things are about to turn around in your favor! Think like it, speak like it & act like it in Jesus name! Take heed to the words of admonition the Lord spoke through the apostle Paul... Forgetting those things that are behind, pressing toward the mark of the prize of the high-calling of God in Christ Jesus(Phil 3:13,14) Never forget this powerful& profound phrase, "God never consults are past to determine our future." Thou hast kept the best wine until NOW."(John 2:10) Now is the appointed time!(2 Cor 6:2) Refuse to be bound to the torment of yesterday. Its long gone! Do not go back to the barnyard of bitter memory. Renew your mind to the fact that its never too late with God! Remember the story of Lazarus. A man that was very near to the point of death. Mary & Martha beseeched Jesus to come and heal him. Jesusnot come instantly, He tarried there two more days. Once he arrived, the two sisters were completely bent. "If you would have come, he might not died" He wept with them & said LAZARUS COME FORTH! Remember God always has the last word in a situation, if we obey Him. A dead man proceeded to come up out of the tomb of death as the graveclothes fell straight to the ground. Its a new day,with new DIRECTION!!! Awesome quote that the Lord birthed & breeded from an annointed instrument named Pastor Tony. Allow the "graveclothes" of disappointment over the past fall stragight to the ground thus granting a new and living way in your life. It indeed is time for "The Comeback"!
