The Game Changer

  • But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to His own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:4-5 ESV

    When I was about twenty years old, I was playing music at a party one night, and suddenly the Holy Spirit came on me with such a loving presence. He instantly changed my life, my desires, and my plans. I did not know who He was, but I wanted to. I placed my guitar in the case, said good-bye to the band, went home and into the bedroom and made things right with God that night. The next morning I got up, went to church, and later got baptized. I started Bible college, got my degree, and here I am. That was certainly not my game plan.

    I grew up very legalistic, and viewed God as a mean super-being waiting for me to make a mistake. After a while I learned that I was not very good at keeping rules, and that by now He was probably really angry at me, so I avoided Him and the places that I thought He would be. That night the loving kindness of the Lord chased me down and I have never viewed God the same again. No one had to preach to me, He drew me like a magnet. He loves us more than we can even comprehend, even when we ignore Him and go our own way, and He is neither mad nor mean.

    Wherever you stand with God today, know that He is pursuing you, wanting a deeper relationship with you, and that He will never give up the pursuit. You can try to avoid Him, but He will come to where you are. He is the game changer.

    Prayer: Father, send Your Holy Spirit into my life and change things as you see fit. I know that You have the best plans for me and I surrender to You, in the name of Jesus.

Amen! Thank you for sharing that God drew you in like a magnet! My 29 year old son has been battling alcoholism for almost half of his life. We have tried everything we know over the years to  help him (begged. pleaded, threatened,ignored) and ESPECIALLY prayed! I've cried so many tears over this young man he will never know. I've begged him to get involved in church, my church or any Bible based church to develop a relationship with God. He always pops back that he believes believes in God but doesn't believe in church. He has told me multiple times that he thinks the Bible is just a bunch of stuff written by man. So today Pastor Dion, when I read your words about how you felt that you had broken so many rules that you did everything to avoid being anywhere you thought God might be, I felt like God was showing me how my son must feel. (Eye opener!) So I stopped and said out loud THANK YOU FATHER for reminding me that You can draw my son JC in like a magnet and turn his life around!  So thank you pastor Dion for sharing a glimmer of hope to me in this long time struggle we've been going through. Please pray for JC to be drawn to God like a magnet and turn his life over to serve others by the lessons that he's learned along the way!! Amen!!

There is always hope. I have a nephew who was an alcoholic half of his years.  HE has changed now, a new man now and start to believe in GOD.  GOD works in a mysterious way.  Your prayers will be answered.  Just believe and TRUST IN HIM. PRAISE THE LORD.

Praying for JC! Being a recovering alcoholic, I know how hard it is. But, God can and will turn this around if JC will just walk through the door!
