Clean and Sober

November 9, 2015

There are many people who are addicted to something, especially something that has a negative effect on their life. The only way to truly be freed from that addiction is to not only get sober but to get clean. Jesus is the only one who can truly clean a person’s life up, and he waits patiently asking, “Do you want to be made well?”

Often times we may feel bound by sin or we may see others who are struggling and it is in fasting and prayer that we can truly ask and see God’s work in our lives and the lives of others. It is not a secret formula that gets us answers when we want it, but we may as well fast and pray when there is something burdening our heart because that is what God calls us to do.

Happiness is only circumstantial while joy can last regardless of the circumstances. The only way to obtain joy is in the presence of God. When we have joy from the Lord we show others the light that is in our lives and when they see that they want it.

When we give our lives to Christ, God declares us to be blameless and holy so we need to live that way. Too often we choose to go back to old sin habits rather than living in the way that God has called us to. God is capable of restoring us from all our mistakes, but we need to be willing to allow Him to change us and take the next steps of obedience.

A lot of people choose not to go to church or believe in God because of the hypocrisy of those who claim to have a relationship with God. We must not try to look like we have everything together. The best witness is showing people that although we have struggles in our lives, a relationship with God is a growing process, not perfection.

At some point in our lives God gives us a calling, however it is common for many to ignore it. The reason we ignore the calling that God gives is because we think that by following His calling we will lose our life, all the while overlooking the fact that we already lost it by not following God’s call.

Too often we turn to things such as alcohol to fulfill our lives and we are let to drunkenness that makes us act like fools. Beginning a relationship with Jesus is the only thing that truly fulfills us. It may make us look silly to others, but the love, joy, peace and other fruits of the Spirit is proof to everyone that we have something they need.

Although God does not act for the purpose of harming anyone, He does use tragic events for His ultimate plan. God’s mercy and grace are found when He is glorified through a difficult situation such as a hurricane, tsunami, or other event.

There are plenty of evils in this world, yet God has chosen us as His followers to dwell in us in order so that we may become more like Him and be able to fight against the powers of darkness. Once the Spirit dwells in us there is nothing that can ever separate Him from us.

We are either being played by the devil or played by God. When we continue to bite at the bait the devil lays for us, we suffer consequences and miss out on the ways God could be using us. We must yield our lives to Jesus as our Lord and allow Him to accomplish His amazing work through us.

Many people chase after riches on earth but those riches last only a miniscule of time in terms of eternity. God promises to take care of us no matter what so our focus should be on people because sharing the Gospel and influencing people for Christ is what stores up riches in Heaven where we will live forever.

About Richard Ellis

Authentic... Genuine... Sincere... This guy is the real deal. He loves God. He loves his wife Rebecca and his 3 daughters. He loves people. He loves his job. He loves Texas BBQ. He loves an occasional round of golf. And he loves the Dallas Cowboys (but don’t hold that against him!).

Richard grew up as a missionary kid in Brazil, coming back to the states to finish his education. He graduated from Baylor University in 1982 with a BA in Oral Communications, and earned his MDIV in 1985 from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, making him the sixth generation of pastors in his family. His early days of ministry included serving for three years as the Single Adults Pastor at the First Baptist Church of Dallas.

Then in 1997, Richard Ellis founded Reunion Church, a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, non-denominational church in the heart of Dallas,Texas. Dallas needed a church like it. And it would need a pastor like Richard. So Reunion Church was born. And now the radio show and the website (www.RichardEllisTalks.com) join the Reunion Church community under the leadership of this guy. And we’re all the better for it!
