The Wizard

“We’re off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz…” So who or what is your wizard? Have you been searching for someone with the solution, looking for what you’re lacking? “…if I only had a brain…”

If you remember the story of Oz was the characters that possessed the power. It wasn’t the brains of bran, the heart of sawdust, or the potion of courage, but the true ability to win came from within. They had to believe that they could achieve what they desired, and not only believe but also act.

I believe in you! I believe that in you are God given gifts, gifts given to be given. And that - when you’re givin what you’ve been given, then you’re your livin, like you’re supposed to be livin.

So…

Avoid distraction, resist the faction, your gift’s extraction, is by faith in action.

James 2:14-20
14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18 But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe — and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?
NKJV

10 For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
