It’s a New Season
It’s a New Season
by Pastor Sam Livingston
One of the most intriguing things I believe is the changing of the seasons. We all experience winter, spring, summer and fall each of which has a unique flavor to it. Regardless of the season, we have learned how to make the necessary adjustment to become comfortable. When it is hot in the summer we turn on the air conditioner. When it gets cold in the winter we turn the heaters on. When it is a cool spring or fall day we open the windows and doors. Nevertheless, we have learned to adjust with the seasons of nature. Like the seasons of nature, the seasons of God (spiritual seasons) revolves as well.

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place." (2 Chronicles 7:14-15).
It is time for this nation to get back on track. These words are a call to the people of God. We must remember who is the source off all things from which this nation was formed. Many of the people who participated in the framework of the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were Christians. There were a few good men who worked on both documents. The first five presidents of this nation strongly endorsed Christian values for this nation. I think that sometimes we forget the original purpose that many endured the hardship of the Mayflower voyage.

Victory

Victory. It is a big word with an even bigger meaning. According to Merriam-Webster, it means: "Achievement of mastery or success in a struggle or endeavor against odds or difficulties." It speaks to life’s challenges and more important, it speaks to the strength that we pull on to overcome them. For me, it is by grace that I have made it thus far.
