Change the World--Pastor Grant-Ross

TODAY is the day to start over! Put the mistakes of yesterday behind you. Your future begins today. Unfortunately, there are no redos in life. The decisions that you make right here will decide what your tomorrow looks like. You can't change the past, but you can change the path you're on now.

II Cor 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."

Are you living a life of faith or a life of fear?

Judges 6:11-16

We, as humans tend to lean to the negative. If God is with me, why? Why? Why?

"If your ship doesn't come on, go out and meet it." -- Jonathan Winters

God sees past the excuses and looks at your heart! God sees what He created you to do, not the obstacles you see as in your way.

There are some things that you have to change to get your fresh start...

1-Your Mind
     a-Don't deny your problems, face them!
     b-Take responsibility for your own mind.
     c-The battle is the Lord's.
     d-Be careful what you see, hear, think, etc. It just may become what you do.
Psalm 1

2-Your Heart
     a-Let yourself be set free.
     b-Leave guilt behind.
     c-When God forgives he forgives extravagantly!
     d-How would it feel to live free?
     e-How would it feel to live with a heart not bound by guilt and shame?

3-Your World
     a-Live a life that matters.
     b-Life is short... Make your time meaningful.
     c-Move beyond good intentions.
     d-Get over yourself! It's not about you!

Quit looking at what's wrong and start focusing on what is right. Get excited about this fresh start that you have right now.

II Tim 1:6 "Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you..." 
You have to rekindle the flame...not God. He hasn't moved...you have!

Rom 12:11 "Never lag in zeal..."
