7/25/09 WEATHER FORECASTING

July 25, 2009
Weather Forecasting
The old saying is, "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." The fact is, everybody contributes to the spiritual and emotional "weather" around themselves. If we spread Sunshine we will not cause storms of contention and confusion or floods of grief and suffering. The only ones who can spread the light and life of the Sun of Righteousness into this world of gloom and doom are the followers of Christ. But remember, believers still have the power of self determination (enabled and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit) and we must determine that we will be willing vessels of God's good works rather than Satan's instruments of destruction.

Malachi 4:2
(2)  But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings...

Romans 6:11-17
(11)  Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(12)  Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
(13)  Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
(14)  For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
(15)  What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
(16)  Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
(17)  But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

Upward and Onward in Jesus,
Pastor David L. Gould
