Test Of Faith…

April 25, 2011 by admin 2 Comments

 Have you ever heard someone describe faith as sitting in a chair without any doubt of it holding you up? Many people use this example in teaching faith.  It is a good analogy but lets take it a little deeper in the well of the Lord. If we look upon that chair while knowing it will hold up our weight then what happens when more pressures or weight is added to the seat? What happens if we do not know how to balance the weights through proper distribution and the weight becomes too heavy in particular spot?

 If we were to look at our lives as a chair we would find that unless we are sitting on the rock of Jesus that our seats will fold under the pressures of this world. The question that we all should be asking is who or what is holding us up? For if we are relying on money or people then what are we going to do when neither of them are around?  

Here is an awesome song by Kutless titled  What Faith Can Do and I pray that it encourages your faith to carry on….amen

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

Discipline Is To Bring Us Back To God…

April 22, 2011 by admin 6 Comments

 God will often use people to offer a verbal rebuke through prophecy or admonishment before disciplining us. Instead of letting our pride get offended, we should be willing to accept and give such rebukes within the body of Christ so that we can avoid sterner discipline of the rod. The Lord uses discipline as a last resort. If all God needed to justify mankind to himself was a bigger cattle-prod, then Christ died for nothing!

 No, God’s plan for the earth is love first, discipline last. To get us to listen and repent, he will use deep conviction, the rebuke of friends, coincident sermons, the quickening of Scripture, and every other means before disciplining us. But if we resist God’s Spirit of light and mercy, we are promised the rod of correction. When God disciplines, the punishment fits the crime. Time and again, we realize that we cannot get away with unrepentant sin. God is sculpting us into holy vessels, and the process can be painful.

 Hebrews 12: “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son.” Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.

 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”

 May God bless you this morning and renew your strength with His purpose and not your own. For there great joy when we learn from our past to improve something in the future. Here is an awesome song and 9/11 Tribute sung by Casting Crowns that I pray touches you as it will always touch me And Now My Life Song Sings (9/11 Tribute)

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…
