Success in 2012

Genesis 12:1-3
1 Now the LORD said to Abram,
“Go forth from your country,
And from your relatives
And from your father’s house,
To the land which I will show you;
2 And I will make you a great nation,
And I will bless you,
And make your name great;
And so you shall be a blessing;
3 And I will bless those who bless you,
And the one who curses you I will curse.
And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”

Every Christian lives by faith. We need to approach the new year believing God has deleted all of the junk on our hard drive. We must begin the year with the resolution that we have a new start. We must then ask for a fresh inpartation of God's Spirit. A new annointing. A fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit.

God is checking your pulse. What is your heart saying. God is poking you as a friend on facebook. What is God trying to say and do?

“The secret, for lack of a better word, for Abraham’s success, was moving from his will to God’s will. When the ‘you’ comes after the ‘I’ rather than before, we’ll guarantee our success,

“If you and I want the new year to be a success, let’s:
Drop our agenda … join His agenda
Get off our path … get on His path
Release our ambitions … embrace His ambitions
Ignore my will … live His will.”

Don't let anything stop you from becoming all that God has planned for you.
All things are possible to them that believe.

2012 Will Be?

Nobody can't predict the future but we can invision what we believe it will be. What the year will be like will stem from what we will become. If we set our sights on becoming better at the important things than we can trust our year will be great. What can I do to make things better for 2012?

I will pray more. Prayer is the power behind getting the will of God in our lives. I will not just pray but I will circle my prayers and claim the things God has for me.

I will plan better. If you do not have a plan you plan to fail. We cannot hit a target if we have not placed it.

I will have greater passion. If we do not have a passion for what we are doing we are missing the fuel we need to get things done.

These are just 3 things that I can focus on to make 2012 a great year.

Jesus Came To Save

Jesus is the Savior. What we could not do for ourselves Jesus did for us. We were lost and without hope but Jesus came to the rescue. What Love. What grace. What compassion. Jesus paid the price so that we could live in eternity with Him. Jesus took our sin so we could live life abundantly here in this life.

The greatest gift ever given was wrapped in cloths in a manger that Christmas night. The world would never be the same. Jesus Changed the world and Jesus has changed us. We have been transformed by the great power of God. The Holy Spirit has come to indwell every believer. God has given us his holy word to guide us down the highways of life.

Our Savior is with us always. He never leaves or forsakes us. We can always depend upon our Lord. In the bad and good of life he remains constant and faithful. Many things in life fail us but Jesus never fails.

The message remains safe and intact. Jesus came to save and I am so blessed that He saved me. Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord can be saved. Call on Him today and you will find the Savior.

Very Encouraged

I have been extremely encouraged by the way the mission partners at the Springs have gotten behind our Christmas celebrations. We are having 2 service this year and that meant a 2 day committment during a very busy time of the year. I am also so blessed by the giving of God's people. People have donated alot of stuff to make our Chritmas celebrations a great success.

If we remember anything about Christmas it should be all about giving from the heart. The greatest gift ever given was our Savior Jesus. God's heart was moved by love as Jesus came to be our redeemer. "...the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

2012 is going to be an awesome year. I am sensing a huge anticipation in many people hearts as we enter into this new year. I am believing God for the greatest year of ministry in my life personally and the life of the Springs. I am also beleiving that Fellowship66 will see some great strides as in advances to plant more churches and ministries in San Antonio.

The need to get our churches growing with new souls is without question. We need to pray and work like never before. At stake in this spiritual battle are not only the souls of people but the need to advance to very truth of the Gods Holy Word.

In Christ,
Pastor George

Good Sunday

This morning I was a part of the Ordination for some of the leaders at the Promise Center. I was reminded that God is still calling people to the ministry because God is still at work in big ways.

We had a a very good service at the Springs. We had a good attendence, first time guests and an awesome offering. God Is so faithful. Todays offering was the largest offering I have ever been a part of for one Sunday.

Tonight we have our Christmas party. I am looking forward to the fellowship and deeping relationtionships during this holiday season.

This week we get ready for our Christmas services. One friday and one on Christmas eve.

1012 is right around the corner. I really believe we are instore for some huge things this new year.

Have a blessed week and God Bless.

From the Heart

Christmas is a season of the heart. Most people are still moved when they think of family and our close relationships. We all have people that are special to us. When God saw His world from begining to end he saw us and loved us. We are special to God. God wants the best for everyone of us. He knows the plans He has for us and those plans are awesome.

God wants to have one on one time with us. He wants some quality time with us. He wants to share His heart with us. When we think of Christmas we think of the people that God used to bring His plan to reality. Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds, The wise men and everyone before and after.

Not everyone is receptive to what God is saying. When Joseph and Mary got the inn there was no room for them. Many times people make no room for what God wants to say to us during this season. People try to X Jesus out of Christmas. Let me just speak from my heart.

* Let Jesus love you
* Let Jesus be born in your heart
* Let Jesus reveal His great plan for your life
* Let Jesus be your Lord
* Let Jesus bring His joy during this holy season

Have a great day. Gods greatest blessing to you and your loved ones.

Sunday Update

Good Sunday...The weather kept a few people away but we still had a good group. I Preached the last message in my series LOST an FOUND. Using King David as an example we taught on how you can be lost and then found and then get lost again. David was lost in the crowd of his brothers but was found tending his fathers sheep when he was tapped to be the new King of Isael. Later as king, David lost his way by getting distracted and then losing sight of his position and purpose.

When David came to the realizaion of his waywardness he cried out to God and God came and restored David. David's story reminds us that when we truly are children of God we will return to the Lord. David called on God to be compassionate toward him and God responded by bringing him to the truth of Gods way. God cleansed him and restored his joy and life.

We can lose our way but God is faithful to finish His work in us. God will use the good and the bad to draw us closer to Him and His plan.

This week we have our 1st Wednesday gathering. We will gather to worship and encourage each other in Christ. Next Sunday I will not be starting a Christmas series but I will be preaching messages from the heart at Christmas. Christmas is a time to search our hearts. Christmas is a time to speak to the needs we all face.

God bless and have a great week.
