Three Great Lies, 2

March 22, 2023
Satan is a liar. And he will custom-make his lies just for you. He will do whatever he can do to make God unreal to you, and make the finished work of Christ and the love of God just a fairytale that doesn't apply to you. Have you ever had a thought pop into your head and you wonder, "where did that come from?" Well, we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers of rulers of darkness in this world. So the believer must be very careful, and that's why the scriptures tell us to hide the Word of God in our hearts and gather together much more as the day approaches. Because we are locked into this battle with a formidable foe, and we need to hang close to the Cross of Christ every day.

In this last message in the Miracles of Jesus series, Pastor Kelley discusses the account of the healing of Bartimaeus. In this account is embedded a question that can truly change your life if you have the courage to answer it. This question is like an x-ray beam – it reveals what is going on in the human heart.

We are called to a battle – not a life of ease.  If I ignore Satan and don’t think he is actively opposing me I am already a victim; I am already a casualty of spiritual warfare. Every attribute he has is perfect evil, and we - the church - are the focus of his perfect hatred.  He attacks us physically and he attacks us mentally.  Ecclesiastes 8:8 says it is an unavoidable war. We must understand that we live in a day of siege. But we have the armor of God.

A costly prayer is selfless; it is a prayer that is compelled by something or someone. Born out of something happening to the person who is praying that is humbling them before God. This is not a prayer to “get”. It’s when I take the attention off of myself and put it on the eternal and what really matters to Christ, that my life is changed. It is then that I begin to live a blessed life.

How many of us have God’s plan for us in a box? We map it out, determine the most efficient path – life is good. The problem is life doesn’t stop there. And we serve a God that changes our plans. I had my life all mapped out - but God had a different map. And God’s map is motivated by His love, plotted by His wisdom and implemented by His power. He knows exactly how to get the very best out of me. And that's the plan I want to follow.

About Tim Kelley

Tim Kelley, at the age of 18, surrendered his life and heart to Jesus Christ. After receiving his degree in Biblical Studies, he relocated to St. Petersburg, Florida. In July of 1989 he became the senior pastor of Grace Connection Church and launched a local radio broadcast called “Grace Thoughts”, a daily radio program broadcast in the Tampa Bay region http://wtis1110.com/ and is now heard at www.oneplace.com. Pastor Kelley is now in his 33th year in public ministry here in the Tampa Bay area. He is an avid sports fan of the Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, and the Boston Celtics. As you may have guessed, our pastor grew up in New England in the Plymouth Mass. area. Pastor Kelley’s two greatest and heartfelt passions are teaching and preaching a clear gospel of God’s grace and its impact in our daily lives, as well as his love and compassion for people (even if they are not New England Fans).  Pastor Kelley has a Master’s Degree in Biblical Studies and is currently pursuing a second Masters in Counseling, graduating in May 2013.  He is happily married to his beautiful wife of 27 years, Peggy. They have one child at home, Sadie Lynne.  Their beautiful daughter Hannah Grace, in February 2012, went home to be with the Lord, due to a firearm mishap after a church service. Pastor Kelley and Peggy have started the Hannah Grace Foundation in memory of their daughter, which raises funds for the housing, care and education of children and young adults, here locally in the Tampa Bay region, throughout America as well as the third world.
