Discipleship & Spiritual Recognition…

August 14, 2012 by admin 8 Comments

Here recently the Lord has been leading me to write out for further clarity the importance of discipleship  and the vitality of recognizing the spiritual maturity of others before we speak.  As we look upon the disciples we can recognize that not only did they go out to share the Good News but they also took responsibility for the new births. They did not just care about the “numbers” of who came to Christ but they understood their responsibility of continuing to teach Gods Word in order for each new child to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Daily Bread…

July 23, 2012 by admin 1 Comment

Have you woken this morning with a hunger? Are you craving something to the point you are willing to go the extra mile to get it? Can you smell the aroma in the air? Are you able to sense when you are getting closer to the source? There is nothing like having a craving and that anticipation of something coming out if the oven.
What we feed on is what we crave!!! May your day be filled with a craving for The Word of God and may it be sweet upon your lips as you take it in to feed your heart and soul. John 6:35 Jesus replied,”I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”

Restoring Honor…

June 6, 2012 by admin Leave a Comment

When we look upon God’s creation we can discover the very things He teaches in the Word within nature. For instance geese they can sense predators and the seasons at hand. They mate for life and when one goes down the mate goes too. In addition they fly in formation in order to lighten the loads of the ones that follow. The one that starts at the beginning of their journey is not always one that leads at the end.

They learn to work together as they fly in unity and when they meet another group or let’s say another body of believers they don’t argue about the direction nor do they compete for the lead. They simply merge together as one building a larger formation as they continue to seek their destination. Once they reach their destination within the fields we can witness many different species respecting one another with a sense of honor without pushing others around.

Another interesting part is that they don’t chase the wind but they learn how to use the wind to their advantage. Sometimes storms throw them off course and separate them from the flock but this never stops them from seeking their return. Sometimes they reunite in flight and other times they simply join at their destination. They understand the importance of returning home from season to season and they understand the importance of unity in order to reach their destination.

It is when we learn to put aside our differences and seek the direction of God that He will show us the Way. Here is a video shot from the Glen Beck speech Restoring Honor that I believe is a call for unity in order to regain our direction….

True Fasting…

June 3, 2012 by admin Leave a Comment

“Shout it aloud,   do not hold back.     Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion     and to the descendants of Jacob their sins. 2 For day after day they seek   me out;     they seem eager to know my ways, as if they were a nation that does what is right     and has not forsaken   the commands of its God. They ask me for just decisions     and seem eager for God to come near   them. 3 ‘Why have we fasted,’they say,     ‘and you have not seen it? Why have we humbled  ourselves,     and you have not noticed?’

“Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please     and exploit all your workers. 4 Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife,     and in striking each other with wicked fists. You cannot fast as you do today     and expect your voice to be heard   on high. 5 Is this the kind of fast  I have chosen,     only a day for people to humble  themselves? Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed     and for lying in sackcloth and ashes? Is that what you call a fast,     a day acceptable to the Lord?

6 “Is not this the kind of fasting   I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice     and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed   free     and break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry     and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter — when you see the naked, to clothe   them,     and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? 8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn,     and your healing   will quickly appear; then your righteousness[a]   will go before you,     and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. 9 Then you will call,  and the Lord will answer;     you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.

“If you do away with the yoke of oppression,     with the pointing finger   and malicious talk, 10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry     and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light   will rise in the darkness,     and your night will become like the noonday. 11 The Lord will guide   you always;     he will satisfy your needs   in a sun-scorched land     and will strengthen   your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden,     like a spring   whose waters never fail. 12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins     and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,     Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

13 “If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath     and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight     and the Lord’s holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way     and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, 14 then you will find your joy  in the Lord,     and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights  of the land     and to feast on the inheritance  of your father Jacob.” For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

Spiritual Revelations

Don’t be like Eli in 1st Samuel and miss something that has been given by God. If you recall with Eli he did not listen because the Word of God was rare in those days and he did not recognize what was taking place until he saw the persistence of Samuel…
