Good day to you all and remember I will be going live tonight on Youtube Pastor Mark 3580 at 6:00 PM California time 8 Texas time and I sure hope you come on tonight and fellowship with us. We will be finishing Acts Chapter 12.

Our devotion on this Wednesday is called,” Renewed in knowledge ” Colossians chapter 3 and verse 10 says, And have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him. Romans chapter 12 verses one and two kind of tells you what this is about being renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created us. Romans 12: 1 and 2 says, I beseech you therefore, Brethren, By the mercies of God, That you present your bodies a living sacrifice, Holy, Acceptable to God, Which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, But be transformed by the renewing of your mind, That you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Yesterday we talked about putting off the old man and now Colossians chapter three and verse 10 says put on the new. God doesn’t just turn us into robots that we begin to do everything He says. In fact He allows us to be a big part of the transformation by fighting against the evil that is in this world and the temptations that come upon us. Don’t ever tell somebody to come to Christ and life will be so much easier because it’s not. We begin to go against the flow of this world which is a fight, 1 Timothy Chapter 6 verse 12. CS Lewis one time said, Sometimes as Christians we need to be actors. We need to put on the love, And caring, And forgiving, Even when we don’t feel like it. That is called denying yourself, Luke Chapter 9 verse 23. When we begin to behave like Christ then people will begin to see Christ in us. And that is something that people desire to have even when they don’t realize it. It also says, In knowledge, Which means that we need to know the Bible. How will we know what to become like unless we know who that person is. I would suggest reading the Gospels and looking at the life of Jesus and you will see how we are to become. Please continue to pray for Free Indeed Ranch that the permits will be approved. The building department in California moves like a herd of turtles. So please pray the Lord would give them a little nudge to get this done so we can get our building up and continue our work on the men’s ranch!

Have a wonderful blessed day and always remember that Jesus loves you!
