Paul Email -15Spet2013- John 11 (Lies)

How you doin? So I had one of the longest weeks at work. I went in after my long weekend in Del. and I was very disappointed with myself that my restaurant wasn't in better condition. I take responsibility for that. Later in that same day, some significant problems were brought to my attention. They were deemed "management issues". These 2 things coupled together allowed for fear (my worst enemy) to attach itself to me. Fear is crippling to me. It renders me irrational and unloving. Not qualities from God. Fear speaks so loudly in my ear that I start to believe lies. Lies of financial insecurity, identity theft, and low self worth. I felt so bad this morning that I believed the lie that I should take a brake from this email. After talking to my Spiritual mentor this morning and speaking at all 3 of my church's services to help my father-in-law give a message on identity, I received some truth. While sitting in the 11am service waiting for my turn, God clearly said not to believe lies. The email is from Him and taking a brake from it is a lie. COME ON!!!!!!! He said don't let Satan win, not even a small battle. PRAISE JESUS!!!!!!!
I'm going to make you work a bit today. I'm not going to copy any scripture, I'm only going to reference it. You will need to look it up yourself to get the full meaning. John chapter 11 this morning. The 2 things I got from this chapter the most is Jesus' present future or prophecy (11:16,23,33, & 38) and Jesus' compassion (11:40-42). I needed to hear this this morning. When I hear prophecy from Jesus, it sparks my desire to listen and hear the Holy Ghost. COME ON!!!!!!! I needed to see Jesus' compassion this morning and as usual God has perfect timing. I once heard that the Bible is the only book in the history of mankind that is always relevant and always pertains to you at the very moment you read it. It doesn't matter your age or circumstances in life. This is true for me every morning and everyday. Don't believe lies today.  
PS I welcome comments or critiques on this new method of email. I'm taking it out for a test spin.
