          1. We discovered this week that Samson's strength came and left depending on "The Spirit of the Lord". Where do you draw your strength from? With Covid present in our current world, we need God's strength more that ever to battle fatigue, worry, stress, and depression. I pray that you are encouraged this week to know that God's strength is available for each of us, all we need to do is ask. Blessings-PJ

            1. How strong are you? I remember watching a music video years ago done by "Carmen". It was called "The Witches Invitation". In the video Carmen compares the condition of his soul with that of the witch's soul. I pray you can say today-"I am strong in the Lord". Blessings-PJ

                  1. This week at SWITCH, we looked at the Christmas story through the eyes of the innkeeper. I’m pretty sure that if the innkeeper knew the identity of the baby Mary was carrying, he would have tossed someone out of the inn and given his best room to Mary and Joseph. If you are a Christian, then you have given Jesus the key to your heart. Think about your house for a moment. Just because I give you the keys to my front door, doesn’t mean you can use that same key to unlock the bathroom or the storage shed. Jesus may have the key to your heart but have you turned over the keys to every room in your heart. Our heart has different rooms based on the things we love such as money, hobbies, relationships, habits, food and then there are our thoughts and imaginations. Jesus wants the whole heart. I know of some Christians in the past who wouldn’t turn over keys to certain rooms in their hearts because of what they believed was hidden behind the doors. Also, they had rooms that they wanted to have total control over. Jesus is knocking. Are you saying “No one is here” or “You can’t come in this room”. Jesus says in the book of Revelation- “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:20‬ ‭ESV‬‬ If you hear him knocking, please give Him total access to your heart.

                    1. This week at SWITCH, we asked the question- Are you in sync with God? We looked at the announcement given to Mary by the angel in Luke 1:26-38. God’s plan for Mary was bigger than she thought. God’s ideas for you are always more than you think. Here are the Highlights- 1. REALIZE WHEN AN IDEA IS TOO BIG TO BE YOUR IDEA, IT’S NOT YOUR IDEA. Luke 1:28 NLT “…The Lord is with you.” 2. ADMIT YOU ARE CONFUSED, DISTURBED, AND AFRAID. Luke 1:29-30 NLT Confused and disturbed, Mary tried to think what the angel could mean. “Don’t be afraid, Mary,” the angel told her, “for you have found favor with God! 3. DON’T BE SURPRISED WHEN GOD GIVES YOU ENOUGH DETAILS, BUT NOT ALL OF THE DETAILS. Luke 1:31-33 NLT “You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. And he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end!” 4. ASK HONEST QUESTIONS AND ACCEPT GOD’S ANSWERS. Luke 1:34-37 NLT Mary asked the angel, “But how can this happen? I am a virgin.” The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God. What’s more, your relative Elizabeth has become pregnant in her old age! People used to say she was barren, but she’s now in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God. 5. BECOME A SERVANT. Luke 1:38 NLT Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” And then the angel left her. When you are truly in sync with God, life will seem effortless. https://youtu.be/JHUuqsSCn5g Blessings-PJ
