I have been finding, so far, that a lot of my inspiration for my blogspots are coming from sermons i here at my church. So let me state plain and clear, these ideas aren't original... not my own... just sharing with you that which inspires me... that which is on my heart... i hope that in some way they might encourage you aswell.

Today at church, my Dad (Captain Gary Grant) preached. Such a legend that man! love him to bits!

Anyways, he was talking about the 7 letters, to 7 churches, 7 'Overcome Instructions', 7 rewards.
Now to get what I'm talking about, you are definately going to have to pick up a BIBLE (yes, this requires extra reading, so do it!) and you will need to read Revelation 2 & 3.

John wrote to the early church, giving them each instruction on 'how to' and 'what to' overcome... and in turn if they overcame these things what their rewards would be from our heavenly father.

We each have things to overcome, whether that might be laziness, anger issues, sexual immorality, pride, gossiping, being "spiritually dead", etc. (I'm sure I could list a lot more!)
Truth is, God wants us to OVERCOME those things that hold us back! HE WANTS THE BEST FOR US! God is FOR us, not against us!!!

Overcoming these things might not exactly be easy! But you know what? when we overcome....we have the Eternal kind of rewards!!! I'm so excited about that!

Please guys, read up on Revelation 2 and 3... some brilliant stuff in there!!!

Remember.... JESUS IS COMING!!!
