Staying Right With God - Lisa Patterson

        
Col. 3:1 Raise your thinking. Be in with the one who made you!! Jesus wants you to be his
 friend all the time. Not just some of the time. He made us his friend to depend on unlike
 a friend we have here on earth. We are temporary and he is everlasting. He wants to be
everlasting with him!! He is everything you need in a friend. He can do everything you need!
 We have to have a friend in Jesus. He longs for it. Jesus came to bring the box and wrapping
  paper, not the gift! He had to leave so Holy Spirit was the gift he left for us. So get up where
  He is to rise above it and be with Holy Spirit. He is with you if you made him your Lord. He
will never forsake you or leave you alone. He wants to help you with all your problems. He is
love all the time. He loves with an everlasting love. It never fades away. He will always be with
you. Col. 3:5 Put to death your members all these devices(old man)-anything that energizes the
flesh. Desires follow thoughts. Thoughts are 30 sec followed by feelings-if fed! Feelings are
much more powerful. Col 3:6, Let go of passions (lust, wrath, desires, evil thoughts).
Rom. 1 (wrath of God). Do not let your members have any thoughts or desires to do anything
not pleasing to the Lord! Let go of all the evil desires or you will be turned over to yourself!
That would be bad! We were made in the image of God! He wants us to be like him. He loves
so much he gave his only son to die for us that we might be saved!!! Jesus died for everybody
not just a few. All who will accept him and come to him. your life will change for the good and
you will not want to go back to your old self! Nothing in it is good. We were made out of the dirt
and in the image of God. He wants us more than we will ever understand in this life!! Let go of
old man and follow him. You will never want to look back.
The Lord would say,"Do not keep the door cracked open. Close it! Do not let the enemy in the door.
He tries any way he can to get in and slides on in. So watch the door and keep it closed!"
The Lord would say " He loves with an everlasting love that cannot be replaced with anything of this
world!! Don"t let the glimmer and shimmer throw you off. Anything that keeps your eyes off Jesus
is of the world and will lead you a stray.. Anything in you that is keeping you from having your
eyes off Him is flesh, desires, world, evil thoughts." Be mindful of the things Jesus taught.
He is the only one who can bring true happiness and will always be for you no matter what your
past or any sin in your life. He will take it away and give you new life!  We are not promised
tomorrow and not of yrs someone else may have. We can have 70 but may not. just have to get
right because you never know when it's your last day or the Lord comes to take us home. We can
only have what He gives us in this world. Nothing compares to what is in store for you when you
wait on Him. Your heart will be restored and treasures in Heaven await those who wait on Him. He
has much in store we know not of but cannot take the place of anything of this world. He loves so much you cannot fathom. He waits for you to want Him and need Him. We do not know all He is
doing for us but He is for those who wait on and love Him! Be still and know that He is God!!!
"Come to my table and feast. There is plenty there to eat where your gifts and talents are. Come eat with me at my table, and feast with me! Get all my blessing.; Do not worry about the ones who have left before you or are gone. Just be with me at this hour. I have been waiting and wanting you now."
This is Lisa Patterson with the Good News that Jesus Loves you and wants you to come to Him today!
