God’s Truth On Arrogance

by Leave a Comment

Can you tell the difference between someone that is humble verses someone that is proud or arrogant? Have you ever been around someone that always boasted on their accomplishments verses someone who just simply did their jobs as God instructs us to do. What about someone who always tried to point out what they were doing or what they had done in order to fill themselves with the attention of man?

Satan is very clever and can deceive us very easily when we allow him to rob us of who we are with God. It doesn’t matter what we have done or how many plaques may be on the wall or trophies in the case! For all that matters is that we learn to do the best we can where we are with what we have been given through the love of Jesus Christ and everything else will just follow. By developing our relationship with the Lord it allows our hearts and souls to be filled with the inner confidence of God which can exceed anything this world has to offer. I challenge you today to seek God for your inner confidence without trying to run your self ragged in the world…Amen

1 Peter 5:5 “God resists the proud. But gives grace to the humble.”

The Angel Dropped In One Holy Night

by Leave a Comment

 It was the day of Christmas and all through the house the family was struggling and broken due to some issues that were as small as a mouse. The tree was decorated with lights that flickered all around but unfortunately due to the severed families some children were missing and very few children were gathered around. Hearts were hurting in disguise while many children simply hid their inner cries for the lack of true love being shown in the family of God which was being held back due to pride. The home was barely full with strife in the air due to the busy schedules and the children that were scattered everywhere.

 As the children began to cry out from their hearts for those that were lost to come home all of a sudden an Angel dropped in and began to sing a beautiful song. On this Holy Night that Jesus was born the Angel began to tell them how their hearts can be healed from where they had been scorned. The Angel said that God so loved the world that He sent His Firstborn so that the family of God will no longer be splintered or torn. As the Angels sang in the spirit of God the childrens tears of pain turned to tears of joy that fell like rain.

 When the elders heard the children’s cries they stopped in to see what was taken place and then all of a sudden the Angel showed them His face. There were no questions asked or doubts of speculation in what was taking place in Gods mercy and unfailing grace.  As they all began to look for their children at the foot of the tree they were amazed at what they saw because the children had replaced the tree with a cross. The adults were so taken at this sight in the childrens unity that they knew better than to ask what was wrong because they knew the children were right. 

 “It was time that we learned from our past in putting aside our differences for the family to be restored,” the Angel spoke. Then all of a sudden as the people began to come together in God’s unconditional love more Angels began appear relieving the people of their fears because they knew God was near. There was a sweet melody that could be heard from the house in the spirit of God that reached the streets during that Silent Night which restored the treasures of the love within the heart of the home.

  These gifts which were received were not gifts that grew old because everyone began to realize their purpose in life through the love of Jesus Christ. We all have miracle moments and praises from big to small and it is our place to always try to share them all. For we are all equal at the foot of the cross and God so loves each one of us that He sent His Only Son to keep us from being lost.

  As the night came to a close for a new day to begin the family went to bed with a new sense of peace between their family and friends. They knew their home was safe and secure because of their salvation in Jesus Christ and they praised God for simply sending His Angel that dropped in….Amen 

 Enjoy this song by Josh Groban singing Holy Night and listen for the Angels in the room ministering to your heart. For their is restoration coming in the family of God….MERRY CHRISTMAS & MAY OUR FAMILIES BE UNITED IN THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST…

The River Of God

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever noticed the difference between an artist with a natural talent verses an someone that went to school to learn the trade?  There is a natural flow that comes up from within us and the object is to recognize the giver instead of taking credit for our self. If you will notice individuals that discover their natural talents you will find that they perform out of love with no expectations in return.

The object in this life is to enter into the natural flow of God instead of allowing the current of the world to take us under. Too many times we try to hold the paintbrush that is held by God because we want to define our picture.  There are no words that can describe the peace that comes in the river of God when we allow the Lord to hold us up and allow Him to carry us forward. 

 If your life feels as if it is an upstream battle with constant obstacles in your path let me challenge you to turn around with Jesus and allow Him to guide you back home. We can only fight so long in the current of the world and at some point we must learn how to let it go in order to enter into the natural flow of the river of God. For when He brings things together no man can tear them apart…amen

Painting With God Defines True Art

by Leave a Comment

 If you were to look at your life as a piece of living art what type of picture would you see in the mirror of God? Would your picture have depth or would your life appear to be very shallow? Would your picture seem scattered or dislay defined lines that add character? Would you have to describe your piece of art for others to see the picture or would there be life in your picture for others to see on their own? Does your picture give something positive and uplifting in return? Can it be felt with warmth and love in your expression? Does your piece of living art add something of value to someone else’s picture in life?   

 See many people call themselves artist by throwing colors together as a elementary child and then they have to describe their inner vision in order for someone else to see the picture. This is not living art when you have to verbalize the picture for someone else to see.  Our lives should be easily defined by the fruit that we bare and displayed by the expression of the love within our hearts that reflects the light of Jesus Christ.

 For my picture ought to illuminate your picture and your picture should be illuminating mine…If your lamp is covered or out of oil seek God’s Word and you will discover living water colors that have been given to us through the red blood of Jesus Christ…Color on…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…
