Three Life-Changing Words

The Power of Being Wrong
Paul, wrote in 1 Timothy: 'even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy... Messiah came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst.' In effect, Paul is saying, "I was wrong." He not only said that at the end of his life, he undoubtedly said it, acted on it, manifested it and lived it from the moment he encountered God on the road to Damascus onward... It all started there with three holy words: I was wrong. Had he never been able to say those words he would've never been forgiven, given a ministry, and been able to preach the Word, write the epistles and change the world. In fact, everything he ever said or wrote all rested on three initial words: I was wrong. Those three powerful words turned the chief of sinners into the foremost of apostles. Those three words in the grace of God will set you free from the old and open up your life to the healing and glory of God. It all begins when you say, "I was wrong."

Today's Mission
Today, if you have a situation that calls for it, don't be afraid to say "I was wrong."

2 Corinthians 12:13
King James Version
13 For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
Well, now I’ve done it! I’ve made a complete fool of myself by going on like this. But it’s not all my fault; you put me up to it. You should have been doing this for me, sticking up for me and commending me instead of making me do it for myself. You know from personal experience that even if I’m a nobody, a nothing, I wasn’t second-rate compared to those big-shot apostles you’re so taken with. All the signs that mark a true apostle were in evidence while I was with you through both good times and bad: signs of portent, signs of wonder, signs of power. Did you get less of me or of God than any of the other churches? The only thing you got less of was less responsibility for my upkeep. Well, I’m sorry. Forgive me for depriving you.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND WEEKEND!
