Philippians 3 vs 7 & 8= But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yes doubtless, I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ. I wanted to encourage my brothers and sisters in the Lord today that are walking this walk out the vest you can by the grace of God that was given unto you. I know at times this can seem to be one lonely walk, and you begin to wonder what to do with yourself. There will be times people will try to pull on you and get you out of God `s will. Sometimes the devil will tell you lies about how bad things are in your life and how nobody wants to be around you. There can be many trying times when you really come out from among them and become separated from the world. It can be painful when you are taking off the old man so that the new man can flourish. The many people that you thought were your friends before now they are heading different direction in life from you and try to pull you their direction. The places you went at one time, the events you attended and you were the center of attention when you went. I want to remind you all of these things really have no profit. When you were in the world you were lost and had no vision. You could not see what you can see today and were always experiencing the ups and downs of life being pulled to and fro constantly. Once you accepted Christ your eyes become opened for the first time you can see what is going on in this world and know the forces behind it. As you gain knowledge of the Lord`s ways you begin to walk into the abundant life that he had promised us. He took off your blindness and opened the eyes of your understanding and you now have great purpose and knowledge and understanding. You are able to touch many lives today because of the anointing God has placed on you, it destroys the yokes out of people that are seeking help. Every mess that you had suffered now becomes your testimony of how God changed it and worked it out for your good. The gifts that are inside of you, they are stirred up and come to life. Your joy becomes full because of the relationship you have with your Maker and the thrill that comes with attempting to be pleasing unto him. This is just the beginning you inherit a benefit package from God that loads you with benefits on a daily basis. You have a lawyer that has never lost a case at your disposal, and healing is promised because he paid your price in full. When you begin to look at the benefits and the weigh all things out, nothing compares to the glory that you are walking in now. You have everlasting life that is promised to you just by accepting what you loving Father hath done for you. There is no price you can pay when people call you hurting and in pain and you pray for them and healing comes or you give them advice and see their life change before your eyes. These things are priceless, this is why Paul said everything I lost I count it all as dung. It is nothing like knowing the mysteries of God and sharing in his creative powers and authority to change this earth. You can not put a price on praying for someone that is dying and watching God heal this person using you as a instrument in his hand. You will see your pluses far out weight your minuses, never let the devil sell you that lie. Be blessed and stay encouraged in the Lord.
