What To Do When The Odds Are Stacked Against You

4/23/17 - Pastor Marcus Mecum

This weekend's sermon inspired us to stay focused on what we can do with what we have. We cannot be discouraged with what we don't have or be envious of what someone else has. God has given us gifts and blessings for where we're at right now - Pastor Marcus reminded us to use them!

This Sermon made have been a few years ago, but it is 'Right On' for where I am.
I have just been getting back with GOD the last couple of years.
After many years of Drugs and Alcohol from my early years until I was Court Ordered to CCAT ( Cat House ) alcoholic treatment center.
The best thing that ever happened to me. It was God helping me with the merky mire of depression and alcoholism. ( 27-28)
Accepting it and packing my bag .
I left my enabling Aunt and Uncle home, God bless them. Not to m6 they were so happy.
I was in and out, then I finally got the program of steps of AA.
I had ann Spiritual awakening. Life was going good after just following a few simple steps and actions.
Give it away to keep it .
I walked into a Meeting room to get a cup of coffee before a A A dance .
I saw a girl that I never saw before.
Heard this whisper in me ( Holy Spirit) do not get involved with her.
Eventually I did, I left before living Happy Joyous and Free for Sins of the Flesh and world 🌎 for another 15-20 years .
Misery oppression, lonely mess . I have been given another chance .
God never left me, I left him I have been blessed.
Thank you Marcus and God .

Whoa!! That message is the BEST of the best. This message should be used as a motivational speech to everyone of ALL ages & beliefs. My wife, in her jail ministry, uses that story about Mr Moody.
Well done, PM!! Well done.
