The Fixers & A Miracle

There is no greater source of power or peace than that which the Lord provides when we surrender our lives.  This is especially true of  "fixers." You may ask, "What in the heck is a "fixer?"  Well I am glad you asked.  A "fixer" is one who has the propensity to go around trying to fix things to be sure things in life are just right.  Some "fixers" try to fix things that "ain't" broke.  Another name for a "fixer" is "rescuer." Still another name is a "controller." Anybody out there have control issues?" 

The GOOD NEWS is that even "fixers" can be fixed from their fixing ways and allow the freedom of God's grace to work in mysterious ways to bring balance to the fixers life.  Psalm 10:17 said it this way as it speaks of the Almighty: "YOU will prepare their hearts." 

The fact is that we cannot fix or change anyone but ourselves, and that even happens only btgog. (By the Grace of God) When we truly want God to transform our lives and surrender to HIM through prayer, it is then that things begin to happen. It is then that the doors of change are opened and we are delivered or at least begin to be delivered.  God loves it when we want such things to happen and He desires to answer prayers that admit powerlessness.  We then can get out of the way and move from trying in our own strength to "turn over a new leaf." We can let go and let God help us.  We will begin to be amazed at the ways and means God uses to make a huge difference in our lives.

When we truly "let go and let God" work in us and through us, the soil of our lives will be perfectly prepared for sprouting God's miracles as we cooperate with life's opportunities for change.

Oh well... I am "fixin" to close this blog for tonight.  And you are "fixin" to go do somthing else.

Be Blessed 2day... Especially 2day.

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #20 Shake A Little Salt

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. A...

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones fo...

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time." ...
