A short note to
you...
Hi Everyone!
God
is doing so many exciting things right now at The Hem!
One
of the things I'm the most excited about is our Free Reaching
for The
Hem LIVE TeleClass next week! I just
announced the class on Saturday, and there are already over 50
Believers registered and ready!
"So What Will You
Be Teaching On Ameerah?" Whatever you want me to! My
lesson will revolve around YOUR
questions.
But, as always, the main mission of our class will be is to seek God's
truth about
developing a real relationship with Him. Remember, Paul
said:
"[For my
determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may
progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him..."
(Philippians 3:10a AMP)
And, I believe that's what The Hem's
Web Ministry is called to do - To
help God's children develop a deeper more intimate relationship with Him.
You
can register for our free class here.
As a special bonus, once you register, you'll get a free 2 part
lesson on practical steps you can personally take to deepen your
"spiritual roots". It also comes with Your Spiritual Growth Gameplan, an
interactive activity
that I know you'll love. Register,
and claim your free Spiritual Growth Gameplan audio lesson here.
God Bless!

Christian
Inspiration and Motivation:
Let God Rub Off On You!
By Ameerah Lewis
Have you ever heard
people say you'll become more like the
people you hang around? Many parents are so sure of this fact that
they're very careful of who they allow their children to hang out with.
I
remember when I was growing up. When I made a new friend,
before I
could even go over to visit, my mother went over to their house.
In fact, she didn't just check out my friend...but their
entire family! Then, after a
thorough investigation, she would decide if they were the kind of
people I needed to be hanging around with.
Why?
Because she wanted to monitor who would be influencing
me. She knew that whomever I spent time with, I would
inevitably
begin to take on some of their traits...either to my detriment or to my
benefit.
Well, the same thing is true when it comes to the
Holy Spirit. The more we
hang around Him, the more we start to "act" like Him. All of
a
sudden, instead of our anger, we are filled with His forgiveness.
All of a sudden, instead of our depression, we can finally
feel
His joy.
You
know, so many of us want the Fruits of a deeper relationship with God,
but we think that we can get them on our own. We want the joy
and
the peace. We want to be able to forgive, and to feel
forgiven
ourselves. We want all of these things, and we can even begin
to
feel condemned when we don't see them in our daily lives.
How much easier would it be if we would just start hanging out with
the One Who already has these traits, and just let them rub off
on us? Then, day by day, we would become more and more of a
reflection of Him, and less of a product of this crazy world that we
live in.
"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God
transform you into a new person by changing the way you think." (Romans
12:2 NLT)
Do
you ever forget that you aren't the one doing the transforming? God is!
So, why not take some time today, and let a little
bit of
the Holy Spirit rub off
on you?
