Being Used by Pastor Ty

Being Used by Pastor Ty



I recently shared an event in my life where I was able to share the Gospel with a

young man. It was a chance meeting, but God was there and he accept Jesus as

his Savior. It’s awesome to be part of a Spiritual encounter, but we need to be

ready. Here’s three take aways from these occasions:


1. Be in the Right Place - Location, location, location. Proverbs 16:9 tells us; “In

their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” – Go

as God leads and say Yes to His instructions.


2. Be Prepared – Yes, it’s the Boy Scout Moto but it should be a Christ Follower’s

as well. 1 Peter 3:15 instructs us; “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always

be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for

the hope that you have.” Share Jesus and then Ask if they believe.


3. Have your Spiritual Antennas Up! – That causes better reception of the signal

that’s being sent.  Colossians 4:5 “Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders;

make the most of every opportunity.”- Divine Appointments await – be tuned in!


Let’s commit on being where God wants us to be, prepared, and with our

antennas up every day. Amen?

Hope and Perspective by Pastor Ty In the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” we see a great change in the character, George Bailey. What is different about George Bailey's life after Clarence (Angel) shows him what life would have been like without him? In terms of circumstances, absolutely nothing. At this point, for all he knows his life is exactly as it was a few hours before; Clarence did nothing to change that. The Bailey Building and Loan has still lost $8000- it could be forced to close and people could lose their life savings and jobs, rumors of embezzlement – the family ruined – George’s Arrest -Scandal! But George has changed! He has a new Attitude… a new Perspective on what’s really important Family, Friends and his Faith in God. It’s easy to forget in the movie that the real change has nothing to do with money and affection on Christmas Eve. The real change is within his soul. For the first time George Bailey is looking at life with new eyes. Same for a group of shepherds at the first Christmas – they had a change I attitude/perspective in Luke 2 the angels put on a celebration to announce the birth of Jesus. The shepherds went and found the baby Jesus. Their station in life had not changed but their attitude had: The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. (V20) May this Christmas give us a new perspective and a vertical focus all year long.
