"The Next Level!"

John 7:5, NIVFor even[Jesus'] own brothers did not believe in him.It'sinteresting that Jesus' own brothers did not believe in Him until after He rosefrom the dead. He was performing miracle after miracle, but they didn't see Himas the Messiah. They only saw Him as their brother and thought, "Oh, it'sjust Jesus. We grew up with Him." Even when Jesus began to gainpopularity, His brothers scoffed at Him and made fun of Him. They tried todiscount Him and talk Him out of His destiny. Jesus let it go in one ear andout the other.Sometimes thepeople who have known you the longest will try to keep you in the same box thatyou grew up in, but people don't determine your destiny. What they say aboutyou and how they try to make you feel cannot stop what God has ordained foryour life. You need to distance yourself from people who are always trying toput limitations on you and talk you out of what God has put in your heart.Father, thankYou that You are taking me to the next level whether the people around merecognize it or not. Thank You that I am not limited by where I come from or bywhat others say or think about me. I will not allow others to put a limitationon what You have put in my heart. In Jesus Name, Amen.Send us Fan Mail Pastor Ricardo and Nuvia McCalla and company
