[Pages:40]Greetings in the Wonderful Name of Jesus!

Thanksgiving Day serves to remind us of the bountiful blessings of the Lord. We have so much to be thankful for. First and foremost, we should be thankful to God for saving us. The fact

that we are still living is also reason enough to be thankful. Just look around, there is so much Pastor James D. Corbett to be thankful for. We need an attitude of gratitude.

Join us at Greenville Community Christian Church on the eve of Thanksgiving Day, November 27 at 10 AM or 7:30 PM. Let's corporately give God thanks for keeping and strengthening us in the midst of the trials. Let's "offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name." (Heb. 13:15) I know we will be greatly blessed in this time of thanksgiving and prayer.

Dr. Mark Barclay will be our guest speaker on Sunday Nov. 10th at 10AM and 6PM. He preaches with a powerful prophetic anointing. Pastors, I encourage you to bring your congregation to the 6PM service. They will go back inspired and with a fresh anointing.

I trust that A Word in Season is a continual blessing to you. AWIS is designed to be a part of your daily time of devotion. Your prayers and testimonies bless, encourage and inspire us. Your offerings of financial support help to keep publishing AWIS.

Remember, Lady Sarah and I love and appreciate you. You are constantly in our prayers. HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

Love and Blessings,

Pastor James D. Corbett

Happy Thanksgiving!

Walking According to a New Course

Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

Being in Christ means a change in the way we live. We walk according to a new course in life. We should walk in the newness of life. The scripture says in 2 Cor 5:17, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

We have to let go the old way of living. The old lifestyle tries to pull us back to the "before Christ" way of living. We have to "on purpose" choose to live the Christian life. Give the Word of God first place in your life. Let's be doers of the Word and not hearers only. The new course is a blessed way of living.

Prayer Focus: Father, I thank you for the newness of life. I purpose to live the Christian life. I surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in my life.

Verse of the Day: Eph 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Living the Word Today: "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh" (Gal 5:16). Walk in the newness of spirit.

How to Change the World Around You for Christ

Acts 8:5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. ... 8 And there was great joy in that city.

The first criterion of changing the world around you is to be in Christ. Allow God to do a work in you, so that He can do a work through you. As He changes you, He makes you an instrument of change. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Cor 5:17).

The second criterion is to walk in the newness of life. We have to be different in order to make a difference. Let the light of Christ shine through your life. "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life" (Rom 6:4).

The third criterion is to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ. Use every opportunity to tell the world about the goodness of Jesus Christ. Tell about His saving grace, His power of deliverance, and His great love. Rom 1:16 says, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek".

Prayer Focus: Father, I ask you to make me a change agent for you.

Verse of the Day: Matt 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Living the Word Today: Use your sphere of influence to change the world around you.

Kept by the Power of God

1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Christians are kept by the power of God through faith. We must have faith that God will keep us from temptation, from falling away and from the attacks of the enemy. We are not keeping ourselves. We have to resist temptation, be diligent in our Christian walk and endure hardness as a good soldier. But most importantly, we must trust God to keep us.

By the power of God, we are kept from temptation. Temptation will come but God has empowered us to overcome temptation. "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it" (1 Cor 10:13).

Prayer Focus: Father, I trust you to keep me in every way.

Verse of the Day: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

Living the Word: Boldly confess, "And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever" (2 Tim 4:18).

Trust God to Protect and Keep You From Falling

Jude 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

Jesus is the one that keeps us from falling. We have to want to be kept. We must trust Him to keep us. The Lord's model prayer includes, "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever" (Matt 6:13).

Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand" (John 10:27-29).

Jesus is the "Greater One" that lives in the heart of the believer. Jesus is greater than the devil, who is the enemy of the soul. Jesus is greater than the tempter, the oppressor and greater than your adversary, the devil. "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world" (1 John 4:4).

Prayer Focus: Thank you, Heavenly Father, for protecting and keeping me from falling.

Verse of the Day: 2 Tim 4:18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Living the Word Today: Keep walking by faith and not by sight. Trust God to protect you and to keep you from falling.

The Power of the Gospel

1 Thess 1:5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. 6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

1 Thess 2:13 says "...the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe". The Word of God produces the faith needed for salvation. Rom 10:13-17 says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?"

The Gospel is powerful enough to transform a person from sinner to saint. The Gospel heals the broken and delivers those in bondage. Believers must share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, so faith for salvation can come to those who are without Christ.

The Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ also heals and strengthens believers in their walk with Christ. "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions" (Ps 107:20).

Prayer Focus: Father, give me utterance of the Holy Ghost and great boldness to preach the Gospel. Father, confirm your word with signs following.

Verse of the Day: Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Living the Word Today: Boldly proclaim the gospel and expect the Lord to confirm the Word preached.
