Stand With Jesus Or Fall With Satan

September 30, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Throughout the Holy Bible the Lord teaches us to stand strong in faith and to be to obedient to God’s Word. No where does it teach us to be complacent and allow things into our lives or into our homes that are not right by God due to the destruction that is destined to follow. When we allow what is simply wrong to take place over what is right our lives fall into a spiritual bondage of Satan that only takes us deeper away from the Truth until we learn how to speak what we know in our hearts.

 True love does not always give us everything we want because in our human nature we often seek things that we do not need. For instance do you give your children everything they ask or do you teach them how to have patience and earn their rewards? One of the hardest things to learn is the balance that is required in true love due to the self discipline that is a must and the teaching that is required in time to maintain what we have received.

 At no point in the walk of Jesus did he allow the world or Satan to influence His decisions or redirect the coarse in His life. Do you know the coarse in your life? Has it been redirected by something in this world instead of following what you know in your heart? Has Satan spiritually enticed you to chase the world instead of staying on coarse with God? Has the trap of the world placed you in the bondage of debt because of the lack of being obedient in the Word of God?

 I am here to tell you that there is Hope no matter the coarse that you are on. The first step of action is first recognizing where we are to see where we need to be headed and then one step at a time God will bring us back home…Amen

Pray Before You Act…

September 29, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 There is something very important for us to recognize in the difference between acting in our emotions and being led in the Spirit. Our emotions are easily deceived when we do not know how to recognize the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Satan. Spiritually Satan preys in our emotions and often causes us to act in ways that we later regret. This is why it is so important for us to study the Word of God to receive the discernment in the spirits to see beyond our current emotions and to learn how to place our trust in God instead of in man.

 This lesson of our human nature was taught in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ with the crowd that murdered our Lord and Savior. They fell to acting in their emotions without trusting in God to work it all out. The same thing happens in our life today of jumping to conclusions without seeking the council of God to guide us in our trials in life. Have you ever acted in your emotions and later regretted something you may have said or that you may have done? I challenge you today to analyze your emotions before you act to insure that you later won’t be hanging from a tree due to the decisions which you make…amen

Are You Gambling At The Cross?

September 28, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 On the day that Jesus Christ was hanging on the cross for our sins and to provide the Way for us to return home there were men at the foot of the cross throwing dice and gambling as if this life had no meaning. They had no regard nor respect for the life of Jesus in fact they mocked Him with accusations and words.

 What is the difference between us today in gambling our daily lives with no meaning nor purpose as these soldiers were doing at the foot of the cross? Are we not showing the same disrespect to Jesus for what He did for us when we lie, cheat, gossip, and suppress the poor? What is the difference between these soldiers at the foot of the cross in making false accusations about others when we do not know the Truth? What is the difference in these soldiers at the foot of the cross than us when we put our own desires in front of others? 

 This is what is laying heavily on my heart; “Do we need another crucifixion of Jesus Christ or was the first enough?” Everytime we mistreat others and only think of ourselves we might as well be gambling with the soldiers at the foot of the cross. I challenge you today to not gamble your life away at the foot of the cross and learn how to serve others in order to serve God instead of driving in the nails on the cross..amen

Don’t Drive The Nails…

September 27, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 In the book of Matthew 27 in the persecution of Jesus Christ we learn a very valuable lesson with King Pilate in learning to stand for what is right by God instead of following the Kings actions and allowing the people to misguide his decision. The King new Jesus was innocent but failed as a man and as leader to rebuke the crowd in the name of the Lord and this led to the crucifixion.

 This event was all part of God’s plan to teach us and save us from the pitts of Hell but this lesson is also here to teach us how to stand for what is right by God in our homes and in our nation. When we fail to stand in love for what is simply right by God there is suffering and bondage that takes place due to trying to please the people instead of being obedient to God.

 Are you easily swayed with the world? Do you allow the gossip of others to form your opinions? Or, do you love thy neighbor as thyself and place your trust in God instead of following man? Did you know that every time that we say something negative of another that we are only driving the in the nails on the cross? I challenge you today to learn how to stand in the love of Jesus without allowing the world to sway what you know in your heart…amen

Be A Leader, Not A Rebel

September 25, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 It is not hard to recognize the divisions and rebellion that is taking place here in America due to the lack of leadership in our country. When you really break all of this down we find that this revolt in authority actually began in our homes as we failed to properly teach the Word of God through the love of Jesus Christ. No where in the Holy Bible does God teach us to rebel nor does He teach us to not respect our authority. Instead He teaches us to pray for our leaders whether we agree with them or not and to recognize the lesson that we encounter when we allow our homes to drift away from the Will of God.

 This country was built on the foundation of God for the people and it is our leaderships responsibility to stand up for what is right by God to maintain the order within our homes. This is no different than the roll of every father that is to lead their home with the integrity and self discipline that is taught in the Word of God for the security within the family. Without individuals that are willing to stand up for what is simply right and wrong by God in our homes and in our nation this country is destined to lose its way without the direction of God.

 There are groups being formed like the Black Robe Regiment, the TEA Party and others that consist of Americans that are simply tired of the road that is being traveled here in America. The world likes to call them radicals and many others like to place them is some sort of criteria to hurt their image but what these groups consist of is your day to day Americans and Christians that are deeply concerned with the direction that this country is headed. Some of the media has labeled these groups as rebels but what person that stands up for the rights of the people , like Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela,  are not categorized as some sort of rebel?

  When we really break this down even further in someone being called a rebel how do you think that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was categorized before His persecution? God did not send His Son here to cause rebellion among the believers but to give us the assurance in the love of God that teaches us that their is much more to this life than what we see.

 In every home and in every business there comes a point that someone must stand up and learn how to communicate in love to break the spiritual chains that are not only holding us back but to maintain the integrity within the body for our childrens future. What many people are not recognizing is the spiritual battle that is taking place here on earth because of their focus being too fixed on the world and forgetting our Creator in Heaven above. The only way for us to combat the strongholds of Satan is in the name of Jesus while being obedient to the Word of God for Him to bring down the walls instead of us trying to do it on our own. This is where the emotional state is very dangerous in activist because they stand up for something that is right by God but they don’t know how to get the job done in the love of Jesus Christ and allow their emotions to to guide their actions.  

 America would be amazed at what can take place when we insert Jesus into the picture to bring down the walls that are holding us back. The Lord teaches us to have unity in the body with God in front and then the Lord will give us the direction which we need to overcome anything that we have before us. I challenge you today speak the name of Jesus and to learn the wisdom that is taught in the Word of God that teaches us to place our trust in Him instead of in man…amen

 Without God there would be no more American form of government, nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first– the most basic–expression of Americanism. Thus, the Founding Father’s of America saw it, and thus with God’s help, it will continue to be. President Dwight Eisenhower / 1955

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…
