Are You A True Artist?

March 4, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

If you were to look at your life as a piece of art how much depth would you see in your picture? If you were to paint that picture would it include a helping hand in serving the poor or the hurting? Or, would itonly consist of the things that you temporarily have in a self serving picture that produces no fruit in the depth of your life? What good is life with only self serving fruit?

Life is not about trying to paint a picture by only using certain colors and leaving the others out. For if you can’t learn how to use everything you have and blend them in love then your talents are being restricted. My plea to you is to not allow Satan to spiritually restrict your picture and cause you to want to delete the imperfections due to the extra work it is going to take. Learn how to spend time in love in those areas that need to be addressed and watch what will take place.

How Deep Are Your Words?

March 3, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

There are two typesof words with alot of others in the middle. The pendulum of words are either fed from Heaven or from hell. We are in the middle of the pendulum and if our words only serve self then we might as well say we are serving Satan. Think about it! When you tell someone you love them do you really mean it? In 1 Corinthians 13 it says,”Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

It is easy to say words but as Jesus teaches us our actions show who we are. Do your words have depth and meaning or are they shallow and easily cracked? Words are very powerful and can paint a picture? The objective is to recognize the spiritual artist that is guiding your actions. For if the picture has life then it is being driven by God but if the art is self serving then it is being driven by Satan.

So, the next time you speak and the next time you do a self evaluation recognize your spiritual driver in order to insure that your picture adds something positive to life. For what good is life if we are just a zero without something to add and especially if we are doing something negative that will take away?

What Are Your Motives?

March 2, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

How often do you stop and perform a self check in the mirror of God to examine who or what is driving you? This is very important to understand and to stay in check with because if we are not careful Satan can spiritually take us off coarse. Think about it! Do you do things trying to keep up with someone else? When someone else speaks are driven harder out of love or spite to speak yourself? Why do you go to church out of obligation or out of love? Do you have people in your life that you feel one way about but act another in front of them? Are you being completely honest with your friends and family or are you hiding how you really feel? Why do you work? Is it to one day enjoy your time off or is to build yourself up because you do not know who you are? Do you perform for the awards or do perform just to be the best you can be with humility?

There are many different answers to these questions and there are many more questions that need to be asked. If we do not examine our motives and keep them in check then it is easy to get taken off course. This leads to fatigue due to our human effort which then leads to a fire that will eventually fizzle out. If you were to examine your fire in your work, your school, your church, your marriage, your friends and most importantly with God would you find any hot coals or would they basically be ashes?

If you want to keep your fire burning do it out of love and not out of anger or obligation. For there is no better fire than one that heats others instead of trying to keep the heat for ourselves. Act in love and watch what you will receive in return…

“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” Colossians 3:23

How Easily Are You Influenced?

March 1, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

The world is full of deceptive ways to influence our decisions and to remove our focus from our foundation from God. Israel fell to this throughout the book of Judges and this same lesson applies to us individually when we don’t listen for God and we begin to listen to man. We are very vulnerable to Satan when we drift away from God and when we allow what we see to influence the choices that we make.

Think about it! If you were seeking financial advice from an individual and you had the choice between someone with a Mercedes or someone in some type of old car which one would you choose? Now, with your choice let’s consider your first question for the financial advisor. Don’t you think that it would be wise to ask the debt on each mans car? For the one without the debt would be the wisest of the two.

The point of this message is this,”Do not be judgemental and stay close to God to insure the right decisions being made.”
