Guaranteed Results

What if I told you I could tell you three ingredients, that if added to your food, would make it fat-free? Would you add the ingrdients?
What if I told you that you could do only three specific excercises to do three days a week and you would be guaranteed to have the perfect body within one year? Would you do them?
What about three investments that would yield a 500% return within 5 years. Would you invest everything you had if this was guaranteed results? Of coarse you would, as would anyone else.
Well I am going to give you a gift far greater than any of these.
It is the gift of Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” If you need hope and a secure future follow these three steps and you will be guaranteed to walk in the abundant life Christ died to give you.
#1 – Prayer
Pray sincerely on a daily basis and come to know the will of God
You must remember that when you are praying you are to more ears than mouth. Allow the Lord to speak to your heart and instead of coming to Him with a “To-Do” list or the me me me syndrome, come to Him with an open heart. Instead of saying Lord bless this and give me that, try saying, “Lord, what can I do to serve you?” You will be amazed at the change in your life almost instantly.
#2 – Praise
Praise God in all circumstances and come to know the ways of God
It is amazing what music can do for your soul. Music can minister to you like nothing else can. It chases away the blues, fills you with feelings of gratitude and brings back a flood of memories. When I am lost in praise I can smell the past, feel the present and see the future all at once when the music fills my very soul. God will meet you in the music and in the melody of love you will find purpose once again.
#3 – Practice
Practice what God reveals to you and come to know Gods character.
1 in 5 people will remember a message they hear on Sunday a week later. 1 in 7 of those will actually attempt to put what they hear into practice. And 1 in 50 of those will be found a year later still practicing the message God gave them. And you wonder why preachers preach the same thing over and over … lol. Start being a doer of the Word, not merely a hearer and you will see results in record time.
Radical results requires radical changes. Each of these steps will bring you closer to the abundant life God has planned for you but all three of them working together will bring you to heights you never dreamed possible. Take the one year challenge. Start to practice and pray and praise the Lord on a daily basis for ONE YEAR and then come back and let us know how the Lord has blessed you exceedingly abundantly above and beyond anything you could imagine.
God bless you 
Pastor Chris
