SATURDAY/SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (How To Hug A Vampire 3)
How To Hug A Vampire… (3) Suck Proof Soul
CELEBRATORS… Whatever you do – you CANNOT miss the last week of our HOW TO HUG A VAMPIRE SERIES! The fact of the matter is this – regardless of how many LIFE-SUCKING VAMPIRES we have in our lives right now… you’ll NEVER be able to live a SUCKER-FREE LIFE! So… How can we continue to FUNCTION in that environment? Here’s what you need to know folks… IT’S POSSIBLE! It’s possible to get up each day and face whatever VAMPIRES are lurking and still live a PRODUCTIVE LIFE for Jesus! I’m tellin’ you Celebrators… DO NOT MISS the exciting CONCLUSION this weekend!
Below is a sneak-peak of this week’s message… (3) Suck Proof Soul
Do you want to live "IN" the LOVE OF CHRIST? Then know ahead of time... IT WILL COST YOU SOMETHING! It cost JESUS... His Life!
If you have a FUNERAL for the EXPECTATIONS others can't meet…GOD will give you a RESURRECTION that'll exceed any EXPECTATION…that you'll ever have!
Got any VDP’s (Very Draining Persons) in your life? Think Counterbalance! You've got to have people who will IRRIGATE your life to offset the people who IRRITATE your life!
Jesus KNEW… that the only place that He could GET… what He NEEDED to GIVE… TO OTHER PEOPLE… was only found… in the PRESENCE OF HIS FATHER!
Don't look to PEOPLE to pay you back for the GOOD in THIS life!
Your REWARD is in the LORD! (It takes a Temporal to Eternal Shift in thinking!)
JESUS… The FATHER… The HOLY SPIRIT… is “MORE THAN ENOUGH”… for YOU to HANDLE… ANY SOUL-SUCKING VAMPIRE… IN YOUR LIFE! (Period.)
