Look Again
Read Scripture
The New King James Version Chapter 5
5 Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. 2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon and set it by Dagon. 3 And when the people of Ashdod arose early in the morning, there was Dagon, fallen on its face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. So they took Dagon and set it in its place again. 4 And when they arose early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen on its face to the ground before the ark of the LORD. The head of Dagon and both the palms of its hands were broken off on the threshold; only Dagon’s torso was left of it. 5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon’s house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
Give Title: LOOK AGAIN…
PRAY
Intro story: Me in the shoot out with cops.. I thought things were going bad and my friend told me to look again!!! I believe some of the greatest breakthrough in our lives is on the other end of look again… Often times its the new look that causes us to unlearn what we formerly thought to be true, what we formerly learned. If there is one thing I have learned, it is that if you can get someone to come out of agreement with how they learned it first, they can learn it right. This is why scripture teaches we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. There are some things that can only be learned if we are willing to unlearn something else. A great mentor of mine always tells me to never be afraid of discovering a truth that is greater than your current truth. What is true to you now may not be true to you 5 years from now. This is not bad, this is just progression. I always say the moment you become unwilling to unlearn is the moment you cease to learn.
I guess I am on assignment today to remind some and inform others that things are not always as they seem. Or let me put it like this, if we don’t look again, we might just miss what God is doing right now, in these times. LOOK AGAIN…
