Upgrade Brings about a Change! by Neesha Stringfellow
3 John 1:2 (King James Version)
2Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
I am reminded again as I revisit an article previously written, of a message preached at my church by Pastor James Rile from Texas. I was in a place where I was ready for something to happen. Feeling like things were just in an uproar in my life, I was searching for new. I never take it for granted every breath I am able to take. Life is such a gift from God and whether its because you get older and look for God to take you to a new place, or you just are ready to see change in your life, we all at somepoint desire an upgrade!
People upgrade every day, cars, homes, shoes, insurance policies, investments, and sooo much more, but often do we UPGRADE our thinking. Being Human often handicaps us to feel like, this is the way life is, this is just the way its going to be, but it is totally contrary to Gods word. Things must change! This brings me back to the message that changed my life. The cycle of life is truly a daily upgrade on our thinking. The only thing that does remain the same is our Heavenly Father, who is THE SAME TODAY YESTERDAY AND FOREVER, and thank God we can count on HiM.
The Cycle of LIfe
Healthy THings Grow
Growing things change
Changing things Challenge
Challenge Brings about Trust
Trust Brings Obedience
Obedience makes us Healhy
Healthy Things Grow
This message helped me to realize that anything thats not growing, changing, is not Healthy, so somewhere along the line when I am not growing, I must be not be trusting God, and if I am not trusting, obedience must not be present. Therefore I continue to remain unhealthy and I have handicapped my growth. No room for upgrades. I realize that God does not put more on us than we can bare, I have watched many friends and family in my life suffer beyond my imagination, I have had struggles in my life where you want to say “Lord are you still there?” All along knowing know matter how challenge has come to wipe us out, if we would hold fast to trusting and obeying God and His word, our doubt turns into knowing that Healthiness is on the HOrizon. There must be a purpose! He must be Upgrading me again. So don’t allow life circumstances to put you in a place where you no longer want an UPGRADE ON LIFE! Know that it is a part of Gods plan to see us grow..

yes we must continue to grow. Good word.
Neesha,
Thanks so much for this beautiful message as this is something we all need to be reminded of.
God bless you.
Thanks Neesha for that word. Certainly growth is not always comfortable but absolutely necessary.
Never get tired of hearing this – beam me up Lord! I want to be healthy!
Love you,
Ma
