Are There Barriers In Your Life

July 31, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 It is very easy to see the physical differences in people and allow these differences to cause a division within the overall body that create a barrier for us to overcome. These divisions that can come between us not only rob us of the blessings of God but they also open the door to Satan to spiritually misguide us into forgetting how we are to work together as One in the body while respecting each part for the roll that we all carry.

 To help us break these barriers between one another it is vital that we recognize that there are only two types of people in this world. We are either a child of God that serves the Kingdom or we are a child of Satan that seeks the world. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ taught us how to live in the world but not of the world while instructing us to love the enemy in hopes that the enemy would recognize how God’s love is for all people. 

 As a child of God in this world it is very critical that we teach our children how to avoid these divisions in the body of Christ by teaching them how Satan wants us to be robbed of who we are. The day that we are given life as a child of God it is important to recognize how Satan has been already at work in the family to destroy the foundation of the home that is needed to raise our children. As God’s children mature they are in constant attack spiritually to be robbed of who they are to limit the amount of work that they can do in helping others along the Way.

 A good example of this is how men prey on women to satisfy a selfish desire that is being triggered in an emotion. The spiritual deception that works in our sexual desires is a very dangerous emotion to recognize because Satan works strongly in these desires because he knows how they can rob someone of who they are and how they can cause us to feel like something that we are not. Our emotions are critical to recognize in how they can misguide us and cause us to do something that we would later regret. This happens in all aspects of life from buying something that we do not need, from saying something that we should not say, doing something that we should not do, and even quitting on something because we feel that we can do no more.

 When we allow our emotions to guide our lives it is very easy to become suppressed and lose the direction which God provides. This world is full of pressures that come from every corner and when we do not teach our children how to handle their pressures in the Word of God through the self discipline that is required to maintain what we have been given then we are only setting our children up for a hard road in the future. 

 Teaching does not only come in books but in the example of how we live our lives in this world. When God gives us the gift of our children it is our responsibility to not only provide for them but to teach them in our words and actions how to rise above the hardships that we encounter from time to time to eliminate any divisions that can cause a separation within the body. When we begin to look at every human being as a creation of God then this helps us to look past what we physically see and this displays to others in whom we believe.  

 I challenge every reader that reads this message to take a step forward in faith to break down the barriers which may be holding you back. Often all it takes is for one to make that first step in love to overcome where we have been and then to help others along the Way. Sometimes that first step that we take in humbling our self is all that is needed to set others free…amen 

 “But even more blessed are all who hear the Word of God and put it into practice.” Luke 11

The Foundation Of The American Flag

July 30, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever stopped to watch a flag blowing in the wind? It moves so graciously in the freedom to no end. As you watch the flag in the wind, you can see the importance of its’ foundation from which it stands.  As the flag moves in each direction blowing in the wind, begin to feel the freedom within its’ grace and this is when you will begin to appreciate our freedom that God has given us in this beautiful place!
 There are times the flag may rest and other times it will stand strong but all that really matters within the freedom of the wind is that the flags foundation holds to the very end!

 It is in this appreciation we will find no other country in all of mankind!

In The Father’s Hand

July 29, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 There is nothing like being molded and shaped by our Father’s hand. He picks us up when we are broken and gives us hope when we can see no more. He fills us beyond our wildest dreams and gives us strength when we are too weak to even speak. The Lord comforts us when we feel all alone and He never stops loving
us even when we have been bent out of shape.

 For our Father’s hand  is gentle but strong and all that He wants is for His children to serve Him and learn how to get along…amen

One Step At A Time

July 28, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 One of the hardest parts of this life is learning how to Balance. If we are not careful it is easy to lose sight when we fail to stay anchored to the cross of Jesus Christ. Without our anchor set in the rock and the self discipline to maintain our foundation then our lives can easily become lost and face all types of cost. But when we stay focused in our walk without falling to the waves of this world is when our God will deliver us to the other side.

 I challenge you today to not let the waves of this world to consume your vision and to believe that all things are possible when we put our trust in God rather than in man…amen

Riding The Wave Of Marriage

July 27, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Marriage is like riding a wave. Some individuals become anxious and fail to wait on the right one. While some just drift looking for the perfect wave that never comes or just passes them by. There is no perfect wave but only the One of God and the object to locating our wave that will fit is learning how to accept what we have and then learning how to commit.
 

 Before we begin it is best to start out slow. First on our stomach, then to our knees and when we feel the time is right is when learn how to stand hand in hand.
Sometimes the waves may get choppy and the seas may become rough but throughout the ride we are to keep our love right by our side. There will be times when we must part but this does not mean that our love is any different from the very start. 

 In those times that we may not be physically together does not mean that our direction is to change. Because when we are not together in the physical then we are still connected in the spiritual. A relationship takes daily nourishment to stay on the same wave and it is when we neglect these principles in love that our relationships can easily drift apart. 

 I challenge you to stay in touch daily with who you are in Christ and allow the wave of God to put it all together…amen

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…
