God the great recycler

Back during the war you could get into a movie theater free if you brought an old pot or pan or some metal item.  We were in a time of war and it was needed for the war movement.  God needs your old sins, pain, sickness or failures to recycle in his war movement.

2 Corinthians 10 ³For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: ⁴(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) ⁵Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; ⁶And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

I remember when a young boy, a store, the S&H Green Stamp redemption center.  My mother would buy groceries and get these green stamps and paste them in booklets.  She would pick out an appliance or something in their catalog and send me or my brother down to trade in these booklets for the item.  God is the great redeemer and he is waiting for you to paste your needs into your prayer booklet and redeem them at the foot of the cross.  He will them give you a new life and a new heart, a heart for him.  He also will open himself up to you in a personal relationship and also give you an eternal home in heaven with him.

John 3 ¹There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: ²The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. ³Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? ⁵Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Allow God to fight your battle turn every care, concern or question of life over to him. Lay them at the foot of the cross and let God redeem that which is burdening you or hinders you from a full relationship with him.

Matthew 11 ²⁸Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
