followinghim BOY!! Can I identilfy with you!! I was so bad at losing, I could cuse the wallpaper right off of a wall! And the worst part of this for me?? I honestly enjoyed it,which made winning even that much more fun, when I did win at anything!!
Now Jesus came into my life,and like you,oh dear!! What kind of a witness is this??Here is what helped me to overcome this terrible habit. First your user name says it all! Let us look for just a few moments at the following.Please open your bible to matt 16:24-26 Please read this out loud so you can hear what you are saying to yourself.ok got it? cool.
In order to follow, we must like anything, learn how to follow.Well the very first thing that Jesus had me deal with, is what I put in my mind.Rom 12:1-2 We have to replace our tape in our head! The passion you have to winning is not a bad one!! It is just misplaced!As mine was! 1Cor 9:23-27 is the correct passion to with THIS RACE! again please read out loud so you can hear!!
Because Faith in us comes by hearing!! ( Rom 10:17) Now the only question for you to answer is one point??How bad to you want this?? As much as you enjoy winning as I do,this is worth all the hard effort,and hard work!! It is HARD!! I know!
If it were not my brother,then everyone would do it! This is why Jesus tells us in Philippians 4:8 what to think on.But before we can do this,we must work very hard on letting Jesus from our inside change our outside.This is done, by studing his Word,daily!
For if i wanted to get to know you,I would have to spend a great deal of time with you.SAME! Reading HIS WORD! speaking His Word,conforms us TO HIS WORD! This is how I began,it took about 3 tough months for me,but Jesus in me, workes with me to help me so much in winning!!! This race!
We win as we FOLLOW! We cannot lead,ever! No matter how much we think we have learned,and how much we know,we must always follow.I had to learn this the hard way! I pray you do not! This of couse is only part of what we should do,but when we can line up our tongue!! as James 3 tells us, we find the rest of our body can,and will follow, as we will it to be so in Jesus mighty name!
What is in Jesus name you may ask? see for yourself.Phil 2:9-11 not just every knee shall bow,but everything! We will always do, what we most want to do.our only question comes from Jesus in us,how far will you pick up your cross and follow after me? Like you brother,I am in the race to WIN!!! amen!! I hope this has both encourged you,and given you a reason TO FOLLOW!! amen!
