I Don't Like The Way I'm Thinking - HERE'S HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MIND

From Apostle Randy Morgan

If you're weary of worry, frayed from fear, lost because of lust, dry because you think you're going to die, then today's newsletter is for you. In recent weeks I've received calls, e-mails, and visits from people who are WEARY of their thought lives. They're thinking themselves crazy. Today, I want to talk about STEPS TO CHANGING THE WAY YOU'RE THINKING.

  1. Repent. Go to God in prayer and repent for wrong thinking. If you're lusting, worrying, fretting, focusing on negative issues, etc, then you are sinning. In order to get anywhere with God in changing your mind, it's vital to repent first. 1 John 1:9.
  2. Find a Promise in the Word of God regarding your thought issue. For example, if you're struggling with worry, then a wonderful promise for you is 2 Timothy 1:7 - God's not given me a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind. Go to a concordance and find what the Word of God says about your situation.
  3. Meditate on the Word, not the problem. If you really want to change, every time your mind wanders to the thoughts that are tormenting you, take the promise you've found in the Word and speak it out loud over and over several times. Meditate means to mutter, muse, to speak quietly to oneself, etc.  So, do that with the Word.  Joshua 1:8 gives a wonderful promise for that.
  4. Write the promise.  Take a piece of paper, preferably a “Stick-Em-On” note, and write the scripture that speaks to you and your thoughts that you want to change.  Put that paper on a mirror in your home so that you see it before you leave your house.  This will help keep the Word before your eyes.  Keeping the Word before your eyes will enable you to think more Word than situations.
  5. Praise God.  You can’t be negative and grumbly when you’re a worshipper.  If you’ll worship, your mind will begin to transform.

Today, if you want to change the way you’re thinking – getting rid of worry, doubt, unbelief, torment, etc. then I encourage you to implement these 5 things in your life, starting RIGHT NOW!!!

 

Our God Reigns,

November Home Groups, The Vision for 2008, and Learning to EAT AGAIN!!!

By:  Apostle Randy Morgan

 

For too long, so many of my children have not sat at the table to eat what I have placed before them, but I am calling them to return and be nourished, even now,” was the word God spoke to my heart as I was driving last week.  Right before the Word came, the image by Norman Rockwell to the left was put in my heart.  I suddenly felt God saying that it was time to learn to be nourished and that 2008 would be the year of “Restoring the Blessing of the Table.”  It would be the year that we learn to:

·    Stir our Hunger for the Word

·    Stir our Hunger for God’s Presence

·    Crave the nourishment of fellowship

·    Recognize The Father at the Head of the Table, His Rules, His Family, His Ways, and His Table Disciplines, as well as the joy at the table of the Lord.

·    Why He chooses to “Prepare the table before us in the Presence of our enemies???”

·    The church, Her Role in the distribution of the spiritual food in the earth and spiritual realm

·    The times for the main course and the times for desserts…

 

This is the time for us to learn how to come to the table of the Lord and feast through the study of His Word, Worship, and fellowshipping with one another. 

 

For the rest of November, all home groups will be meeting at the church on Tuesdays to eat at “the common table.”  We will be coming together to eat dinner every Tuesday for the rest of the month.  During the meal, I will share brief insights into the coming year for the whole ministry and how that is going to affect us as a church.  We’re also going to use the physical dinner as a “Prophetic Declaration and Act” to prophesy our “feasting on the things of God in 2008.”  Our declaration shall become, “We SHALL BE NOURISHED NOW MORE THAN EVER.”

 

Pastor Joan’s Home group will be responsible for this coming Tuesday evenings sides.

Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a good thanksgiving and break and return today refreshed and renewed. We all know the next holiday that is approaching is Christmas, the celebration of the birth of our savior Jesus. As we move forward to the 25th of December, lets do so giving praise and thanksgiving. God gave us the best gift we could ever receive, our salvation, let us give back to him this season our thanks and joy for all he has done for us. Each day thank God for something he has done, is doing, or is going to do in your life.

1 Sam 2:1-3 1And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.

 2There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

 3Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

Confession of Faith

 

God in all His completeness dwells in Christ. The fullness of His nature and power lives embodied in Him.  Christ has everything God has.  In Christ there is all of God in a human body.  The complete being of the Godhead resides in Him.  All the wealth of God’s being in Him as a living form.  I am in union with Christ.  The fullness of God’s nature and being that dwell in Him are now in me.  In union with Christ I am joined to that same fullness by a living connection of my spirit with Him; I have everything that I need to have.  All this is because of who Jesus is and what He did for me.  I am filled with the fullness of God’s nature, eternal life.  I am filled with the fullness of God’s love, for God is love.

What is The 150???

 

Scriptural basis for GROWING:

So pray to the Lord of the harvest to force out and thrust laborers into His harvest (Matthew 9:38)

Great multitudes followed Jesus (Matthew 4:25).

Great multitudes gathered together unto Him (Jesus) (Matthew 13:2).

Great multitudes came unto him having with Him those who were lame, blind, dumb, and maimed and many others and cast them at Jesus’ feet and He healed them … and the multitudes were amazed (Matthew 15:30).

The multitudes resorted to Him (Jesus) and He taught them (Mark 2:13).

And the believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both men and women (Acts 5:14)

The Word increased and the number of disciples increased (Acts 6:7)

The Hand of the Lord was with them and a great number believed and turned to the Lord (Acts 11:21)

 

We are always setting goals here at New Covenant for higher, greater, more excellent, and more powerful service to God.  Without a vision people perish and cast off all restraint, so goals are vital for any group to thrive and grow, especially in the Kingdom.  God has given us a vision and a message that will reach the nations, help revolutionize lives, and lead souls into a relationship with our God and King.  With that in mind, in order to fulfill the vision that God has given New Covenant Church of Atlanta, we must grow even beyond the awesome growth we’ve seen through the years – we need many more people.  Not just to sit in pews, but laborers, ready to get to work for the demonstration of God’s plans and purposes.  So, a goal has been set - 150 people as our base attendance and beyond.  

 

Will you set your faith in agreement?  Will you call friends, family, loved ones, those who haven’t been to church in a while?  Will you send cards, e-mails, etc.?  Will you call it forth in prayer?  If so, thank you.  God is going to do amazing things here in this Body of Believers.  We need the exponential power of unity and growth to continue here at New Covenant – to breakthrough the 100 or so mark in attendance, to increase in order to sow out into the world.  Let’s reach higher than we’ve ever reached before

 

A corporate confession based on the Scriptures above, say this out loud:

 

Where Jesus was, multitudes followed Him, gathered together with Him, were healed by Him, and taught by Him.  Father, your Word makes it plain that where Jesus is, people come – we call them in through prayer first.  You add to the church and I thank you now that the church is being added to in number.  The Word will increase, so I thank you that as the people grow in their understanding and hearing of the Word that you will increase.  Your Word increases and the people grow in their understanding of the Word; therefore, people will be added to the church. In the Name of Jesus
