Something Holding You Back

God promises through the prophet Ezekiel (chapter 36) to give you a new heart and a new spirit.  A new heart brings you passion for the things of God rather than the world.  A new spirit provides you empowerment to do the mission of God that you never envisioned yourself doing.

God is not interested in bandaids.  He opts, instead, for a heart transplant that leads to life and, not just any life, but life abundant.  So what is holding you back?  The promises of God are there for the taking.

Most of you know exactly the "something-holding-you-back" list that lingers in your heart. The list probably includes pain, regrets, destructive habits, doubts, insecurities, hopelessness, confusion, fatigue, unrealized dreams, inconsistencies, and many other tactics of the one who seeks to kill, steal, and destroy your life.

But God, who is the originator of the heart transplant, is bigger than anyone or anything holding you back.  He miraculously and graciously specializes in the worst of cases - shattered hearts that everyone else, including yourself, have given up hope.

Tonight at Celebration (ccomrva.org) people will receive a new heart and a new spirit. It is time for you to allow God to remove whatever is holding you back and replace it with the life you were created to live.  Come join us at 6pm or watch on our YouTube channel (or FB Live).

Ex nihilo,
