--God’s Not Finished With You

--Pick up a high school yearbook and read the “What I want to do” sentence under each picture. You’ll get dizzy breathing the thin air of mountaintop visions. Ivy league school. Write books and live in Switzerland. Physician in a Third World country. Teach inner-city kids.

Yet, take the yearbook to a twentieth-year reunion and read the next chapter. Some dreams have come true, but many haven’t. Changing direction in life is not tragic. Losing passion in life is. Convictions to change the world downgrade to commitments to pay the bills. Rather than make a difference, we make a salary. Rather than look outward, we look inward. And we don’t like what we see.

[Friends, when a person hears an altar call, and runs forward to make a decision 'to follow Christ', they are often mislead into believing 'this is an easy-believeism', and I can now get everything I pray for!' Many, yes, MANY internet and television Pastors are telling people, "Come to Jesus and you will have an abundant life! God will answer all of your prayers!"
And because that ministry shows the Pastor, (and wife) living in big beautiful million $$$ dollar homes, they think, "Oh great! I want to be rich, like they are!" That is a lie from the devil. His abundant life, is living with and for Him, (Jesus), and spending eternity with Jehovah. It's not about now and how [I] can be wealthy, It's all about JESUS. Don't be fooled. Yes, those scoffers, and deceiving Ministries will give an account on Judgment Day. Let's be more concerned 'With our own salvation!' Don't count on 'people', count on Jehovah God! He is the Judge. Beware!
When the Lord is truly accepted into a person's life, THEY CHANGE. Self gets off the throne of their life, and Jesus becomes the Master/Teacher/Leader. Sanctification is a life-long process.]~~

Philippians 1:6 says, “God began doing a good work in you, and he will continue it until it is finished.” May I spell out the message? God isn’t finished with you yet.
