A Time to Turn

On February 24th & 25th 2006 I attended a ladies seminar by Beth Moore. One of the scriptures that spoke to me was Rev. 1:8, "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." Beth said that He is the God of your "is", your "was", and your "is to come". Thank God! He is the beginning and the end of my present, my past, and my future! He is the Almighty One over my past! He has authority over my past and it must serve him! In this seminar she said, "there comes a time when it's time to turn." That is when it hit me, it was time, I had to make a change.

Then on February 26th 2006 I was reading "When Heaven Invades Earth", by Bill Johnson, and he stated, "There comes a time when simply knowing truth will no longer satisfy. If it does not change circumstances for good, what good is it?" This was confirmation and encouragement that it was time to make a REAL change.

1 John 3:8 says, "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil (in my life). My emphasis added. He came to destroy the works of the devil in MY LIFE! What is the "works of the devil" in your life that needs to be destroyed?

Bill Johnson stated, "Giving what we have received releases Him into situations previously held in the grip of darkness." It is my desire that by giving you what I have received, God will be released into your situation that has held you in the grip of darkness. My past MUST serve the Gospel!
