“Pastor Bulla, how do we renew our mind?” and I’m glad you asked. The actual dictionary definition of ‘renew’ is to resume an activity after an interruption, to re-establish, or to become new or make new.

God wants us to be transformed because we are in this world but we are not of this world. Remember it was God who originally formed us in our mother’s womb but we entered a sick, secular and sinful world. It is because of our environment (the world) that we must be TRANSFORMED. The transformation is the result of the renewing of our mind.

I appreciate the definition that said ‘to resume an activity after an interruption’. You know I got Bible for you, in the first chapter of the Book of John in the New Testament it says ‘In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God’. So that means the Word came before everything we know of and since we were made in the likeness of His image we were originally perfect creations in the Garden.

Back on point of renewing our mind daily is through prayer, worship, praise, and reading the Word of God and all of this we do so that we may prove what is the good, acceptable and perfect will of God.

That’s another message altogether but for now let’s enjoy WORSHIP WEDNESDAY.

Leave a comment below and let me know what you think.

What a wonderful time we had in Maui recently. So blessed to worship with Joyful Community Church Maui and Bishop Fred and First Lady Zena Welch. What a Holy Spirit filled Service we had. Big mahalos to the Hoke Ohana from Upcountry for sliding down the hill for service. Also our dear sister Carol who is a walking testimony of God’s Grace, she has overcome everything the enemy has put in front of her.

Grateful to have been in the pulpit that Sunday and my Takao ohana who came, Richard and Mamasan and Mike. Truly it was an anointed time for me to speak life and truth into so many that morning.

• No matter what you are going through remember this, ‘No weapon formed against you shall prosper’ and that’s Bible! They’re coming but they will not prosper or in this case it means to succeed or fulfill its assignment. But be ready for battle because the enemy or Satan only wants to steal, kill, and destroy you and anything and everything that you love… period. That’s why we hold on to the WORD OF GOD, because before there was anything else there was the Word. ‘In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God’, so we jut have to get back to the beginning sometimes and start over but start on the right path.

Many people will tell you that you’re ‘stuck’ with your family. Although that sounds very daunting and haunting to many it actually has a silver lining for the very fortunate few. My Wingless Angel and I are just that… too blessed to be stressed.

This is our family, our Ohana as we say in Hawaii. Dr. Richard and Lynda (mamasan) their sons Ryan and Mike, their daughter in law Cari and grandson Nate are our family and it is the genuine love for God and His hand upon our lives that brought us together.

My dad passed away 22 years ago and my mom was 42 years ago when God called her home. To have a couple take you in with open arms and open hearts like Richard and Lynda have is nothing short of God’s Grace and Love extending through them. When I hugged Mamasan for the first time it was like the last time I hugged my mom 42 years ago. I thank God for His mercy and His love and for His two angels that He has assigned over us. Thank You JESUS is all I can say.

Ohana is more than blood, ohana is the core of your sole in another person’s hands.

Matthew 6:33 says ‘Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you’. I have ministered over the years and truth be told that if God is not 1st in your life then you are a ‘backslider’. That is not meant to get you riled up and angry but more to bring you to a point of reflection to look at your walk with Christ. For many of us he is our 911, whenever in trouble we cry out to God. ‘Oh God, get me out of this jam, and I’ll go to church forever, I promise’, does that ring a bell with anyone. God is not a deal maker He is a deal breaker because He and He alone breaks the deal that you have made with Loserfer, Satan, the enemy with your soul. We need to go to God with everything because He has told us already ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you’, so why do we think we can hide from He who is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent? It really doesn’t make sense when you sit down in your quiet time and think about it. As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord and my prayer and hope is that you will also. Remember, ‘you’re too blessed to be stressed’!

Thanks for joining me!
