NO LONGER CRIPPLED,,written by J.E. Sturdivant

this is a book that really opened my eyes to a lot about life's failures and how to get back on then track that God wants us to be on ,,and off the Track that the devil has placed us on..

God is not a talkative ,he never waiste words,when he speaks it is done,,however when God repeats himself it is only for emphasis,,So when you hear VERILY VERILY I SAY it means that he wants to get your attention,,when God mention something thrice,,he is really trying to get your attention,,he said be strong three time's to Joshua,,Joshua 9:6-9

Affliction is only valuable when we have learned from it then it becomes our teacher,,this is our advantage in the misdt of dis-advantage

Acts 20:9 here is a man lambed from his mothers womb,,can we imagin being carried for nine months and bibng taking care of by that mother and then struggle to get out and then have to struggle in life? soon as he came out of his mother something went wrongand he became lame.life has a way of breaking you while your struggling to live some has been crushed emotionally,mentally,physically ans psychology CRIPPLED,,but God can squeeze the stuff out of us that life placed in us ans in result of that we surround ourselves with people like us,,and there is more unity in streetgangs than the church because streetgangs accept short commings and church folks act like it dont exist,,NOTHINGS WRONG with them!!!

POSITIONED BY PAIN
People find themselves in strategic spots where they need some one to enable them,being co-dependant,relying on others,lowering there standards,,EVEN accepting mental ,emotional and verbal abuse just to keep someone in there life cant make a Concrete decision because the pains of life,,looking down ones family line,,no one stayed married,every one had some sort of addictions of some kind no one has went to college as well as children being abandoned,and that can lead to some waiting for someone to validate them friends are limited they can only take us but so far

MIND SET EFFECTS MY MOVEMENT
God has allowed us to arrive at a Pivotal point in our life where we are about to go into something and come out of something,,either your ready to stay in or come out,,God want you to come out but the devil has his hand on your mind that you dont want or dont think that one can come out,,do you remeber the Cinderella story?? her situation did not change until her mind changed,,when she seen the beauty in herself and someone wanted her then her mind changed,,,,GOD IS SAYING IN ORDER TO GO INTO YOUR PROMISE THE MIND MUST CHANGE FIRST

GOD WILL HELP YOU MAKE THE CHANGE
not going to work with what I lost,But what I still have,,God is NOT going to maximizing the area of your deficiency and minimizing the area of your strength the area of your life that was broken IS NOT IMPORTANT TO GOD,,it is the area that still has STRENGTH is what he wants to work with

Repeat after me: May the Lord watch, between me and thee while we're absent, one from another, Lord keep us in perfect peace until we shall meet again.

Now

"May the sweet communion of the Holy Spirit, rest, rule and abide in you, hence forth now and forever....." Ephesians 4:29-32

Now...somebody sing: REACH OUT AND TOUCH!

DO YOU REMEMBER THE SERMON EZEKIEL 37..DRY BONES

Being shown this valley, thus the Lord asked of him:

Ezekiel 37:3 And he said unto me, Son of Man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.

The very sight of these bones, being so many, and so very, very dry indicates that the house of Israel would lose many members of its peoples throughout the course of history, while the dryness, reflects the utter lack of concern and sympathy Israel would receive from the world.

Notice also, these dry bones haven't been afforded even the courtesy of an appropriate resting place, or burial! They have simply been left open to exposure from the elements.

What possible optimistic hope could this scene portray? For myself, I don't think it is intended to do anything,

but to simply express to Israel that its only hope in this world rests with God's commitment to "His" word.

Ezekiel's response to the Lord was "Thou knowest"; indicating that only the Lord could bring forth fruit in this dark VALLEY.

The nation of Israel embarked upon the stage of world history over 3000 years ago by entering into the land, for the purpose of possessing that land which God promised unto Abraham.

DREAMS ARE DRIED UP
HOPE IS DRIED UP
FUTURE HAS BEEN CUT OFF
DREAMS ARE NIGHTMARES
SONGS NOT SANGED
PAINTINGS NOT PAINTED
CALLINGS NOT ANSWERED
AND YOUR NOT KNOWN BY YOUR NAME....ONLY YOUR PAST
ONLY THING THAT CAN HELP YOU IS THE WORD OF GOD!!!!
CRIPPLED COMMING FROM THE WOMB.
WE FIND OURSELVES EXPERIENCING WHAT EZEKIEL EXPERIENCED AND THERE IS A CHARGE ON OUR LIFES TO SPEAK TO THE THINGS THAT ARE DEAD AND CRIPPLED ,,,HEAR YE THE WORD OF THE LORD .EZEKIEL DONE THREE THINGS

learned that after I started Preaching that when it gets so quiet that you can hear two roaches making out on cotton,,LOl,,,,,that means that you struck a nerve

we have to get out of what we done and Crippled ourselves to what God has for us,,HOW MUCH LONGER ARE WE GOING TO HANG AROUND THE POOL OF BETHESDA??

THIS IS GOOD STUFF HERE!!!!!
Comment by T.L. Hawkins on July 15, 2009 at 2:26pm
Let the CHURCH say....AMEN!
Comment by T.L. Hawkins on July 15, 2009 at 1:31pm
AMEN Bro Hancock! You're about to crank up another sermon!! LOL!
Folks need to learn how to love GOD and themselves before they can even attempt to LOVE someone else. Lust is something totally different.
Pastor Bell~ that WOE IS ME mindset can kill more than just dreams. Sometimes, it will kill people. If you look to the hills from whence cometh your help....come on somebody...that mindset will be GONE!
