Confess sinful practices; turn to Jesus- Acts 19:18-19

Good morning all!  God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
     Have you ever visited a place where black magic and occult practices were common?  Where people believed in superstitions and formulas for success.  Where they believed all the little things they do would bring wealth, health, and success.  The horoscope - people look at this daily to see what kind of day they are going to have.  Huh?   How about going to your knees and talking with God about the type of day you are about to embark upon?
     Could it be attitude, mind-set, how you personally feel?  Your horoscope or Chinese fortune cookie may say something like:  today will be a good day at work and success will come your way.   If you believe that you will have a good day at work.  This deals with Ephesus, a center for practices of the dark side.
    What about - PRAYER?!?  Oh Lord, thank you for this day, I know it will be a good day and I will be able to share the Good News with others.  A little confession - confession to God!
    Acts 19:18 "Many who became believers confessed their sinful practices."  Do you dabble in horoscopes, superstitions, etc.  If so, why?  Jesus is there and He has all the power, all the miracles, everything you could imagine.  Acts 19:19 "A number of them who had been practicing sorcery brought their incantation books and burned them at a public bonfire valuing at several million dollars."                
           What is this saying?
   It is saying you must, not should, but must confess and turn from the old ways and begin life anew following the LORD Jesus Christ!   Are you??  Tomorrow we will talk about calling Jesus LORD. Love you all.
  In Christ's Love and Grace
