“How Bad Do You Want It?”

“So last night I was watching a prerecorded message from yesterday morning’s church service in West Virginia..(aka) my home state..and the Pastor was preaching about how for some they choose to blame everyone else for their lives..and I will admit right now that I as well have fallen prey to that category..for it’s so easy to do..Amen..to point fingers..but he was preaching about how bad do you want it?..how bad do you want your life to change?..how bad do you want to be healed?..how bad do you want to be delivered and set free from whatever bondage in your life that is holding you back from moving forward in your life?..Amen..and he commences to preaching that only this kind as the word says comes forth by praying and fasting..Matthew 17:21..Amen!”

“But how many of us are willing to do that?..to give up something that means a lot to us?..to sacrifice for a moment or two?..for you see it’s easy to blame..it’s easy to make excuses..it’s easy to just settle to be honest with us all this morning..you know just forget about it..or say it doesn’t matter..but I wonder this morning how many of us can sit down and think about an area in our lives as to where we need it to be better..we need it to change..we need a good stirring..Amen..I wonder how many of us can see where our lives are falling short from where they should be?..I wonder what all this morning the enemy has stolen away from us and our lives?..because for me I can name a few things right off the bat that I want changed in my life..that I want back in my life..Amen..as I am sure that you all as well can name a few..but moving back to scripture in Matthew right above where it says this kind ‘ONLY’ comes forth from praying and fasting..Jesus says this..”Because of your unbelief..for I say unto you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to a yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you..Matthew 17:20..Amen!”

“So this morning once again I am going to ask us all..How bad do we want it?..Amen..are we willing to do what needs to be done to get it?..because when we get serious with the Lord..the Lord gets serious with us..Amen..but when we sit around and only murmur and complain..other than seeking the Lords face..and turning from our wicked ways..than we our not helping ourselves or our lives..because God hears our prayers..God hears our hearts..and God understands our tears..and our heartaches..and what we need..and what we want in life..but we must do our part to see it come to pass in our lives..Amen..for faith without works is dead..James 2:14-26..so make a list..keep it before your eyes and daily so..and pray over that list..don’t let it go..just because you may have one good day..or even two..but you keep praying and seeking the Lord..and fasting..and taking it all before Him until you see and you know that there has been evidence of change that has happened and that has occurred..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
