Albert Artis - Words of Encouragement Albert Artis

"In those days, there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes." Judges 17:6 NKJV

Although Israel had judges in the land at this time, people operated as individuals and looked to themselves for ethics and morality. They didn't look to God. Instead, they looked within, setting their standards of right and wrong and what is good or evil. Although we might be sincere, we can't be the standard for morality. The Bible says, "Our hearts and thoughts are desperately wicked, and it says who can know our hearts and true motives but God." In Albert's latest podcast, let's discover together how God's Word should always be the authority in how we live our lives.

What do you believe God for this year? I think that 2023 will be a year of God’s unprecedented favor and blessings for His children. Get ready for a year of miracles, breakthroughs, and favor like you have never seen before.

Proverbs 3:6 TLB says,

In everything you do, put God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success.

Today is my Birthday, and God gave me a phenomenal Birthday Blessing, Healed of prostate cancer; without chemo, radiation, or surgery. Life can be challenging, but we all have landmarks when we can look back and remember the great things God has done in our lives. Today I want to encourage you to "Remember The Times."  Remember the amazing things that God has done for you over the years!

Do you believe you are valuable to God?  Do you believe your life has a divine purpose?

Ephesians 2:10 says,

"For we are God's masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Listen to today's podcast as we explore the topic "You Are A Masterpiece." 

For years I didn't understand why I still felt like living a sinful lifestyle after becoming a Christian. Why do I have these sinful urges if I am born again?
Doesn't the Bible say,
"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."
Why do I fall into sin, make bad decisions, and then wonder how I got here if I am a new creation in Christ?
The answer is "Mistaken Identity." As Christians, we are mistaken about our own identity when we believe we are what we feel. 
Recently I spoke for our online service at my home church. The sermon topic was "Walking In The Spirit." I decided to share the sermon on my podcast. We can never truly walk in the spirit when we are confused about who we are in Christ. I hope this message is a blessing to you.

No matter what season of life you are in, you can still flourish.  God desires that we live above our circumstances.  He wants to bless us in such a way that no matter what life throws at us, we can thrive, bear fruit, and prosper.
