Stop, Drop, and Roll

This Wednesday at youth, I talked about the key for us to become, “New models with original parts.” After thinking about it and praying about this, I came up with three different things that will help us to do this. Number one, we need to STOP.

The bible tells us to, “Be still and know” and I that to many time we do not do this. We sit and we watch tv, or we play on our computer, or phone but how often do we, honestly, sit and know that he is God? The next thing is that we need to Drop.

Now I know your thinking, like most people, that we need to drop the junk in our lives but that is not what I was talking about. The word tells us that, “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray then they will hear from heaven.” WOW. IF we will pray we will hear from heaven. If we drop to our knees before God and pray we will hear from heaven.Prayer, who would oh thought that it was a key. A key to living a life that is for god. A life that is set apart. I know I wish I would have understood this at an earlier age than I did because i would be so much farther than I am now.

My third and final point was we need to Roll. In revelation 22:8-9, John, after receiving all of the book and all that is to happen, stop and starts to woship the angel who gave it to him. The angel stops and looks at him and says, “we are equals. Dont worship me, WORSHIP GOD!!!!” Wow. Its truely that easy isn’t it. We need to STOP, and know he is god. We need to DROP, and humble ourselves and pray and we need to Roll, and roll around in the presence of the Lord. WOW.

For me, it made since. Stop Drop and Roll is something that I learned at five, but it is now that it truely has meaning. It is only now that I am going to Stop, Drop, and Roll. So my question to you is, are you stopping, dropping, and rolling?
