A Gentle Warning….

June 29, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever felt a hunger pain? Do you recall the tightening of your stomach and the craving sensations that you experienced? How about a hunger pain to reach a goal that you have been seeking within your heart? Can you recall making some wrong steps due to following your heart rather than waiting on the instruction of God?

 Hunger pains are good when we learn how to wait upon the Lord for they teach us self discipline and help to develop our senses. During our hunger periods in life the devil works in many ways to throw us off course and it is wise to stay in tune with God to insure the steps which are taken. The next time you feel hungry for something maybe in a relationship, a job, for food, or for something more of God may I encourage you to take a step back and ask yourself this question,”Is God directing my steps and can I see healthy results in the decision which is being made?” If your hunger is spiritual then may I strongly encourage you to be humble enough to ask yourself this question,” Am I truly ready for the steps before me?” 

 Our decisions have either positive or negative affects on others and before any decision is being made seek God first to receive your answers…

Positive Encouragement….

June 28, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 If a seasoning has no flavor, it has no value. If Christians make no effort to affect the world around them then are of little value. Christians should not blend in with everyone else. Instead we should affect others positively just as seasoning brings out the best flavor in food….

The Heart Of A Pine…

June 27, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Did you know that the heart of a fallen pine tree that has deteriated to the core can ignite a fire no matter the environment? Within the heart of a pine there is a natural gas within the wood that can explode if bottled up and ignited. The interesting part about this is that a pine tree is often looked down upon by many due to the extra aggravation and the sap that sticks to the simple touch. Another interesting part of the pine tree is the tap root. For it does not spread out like the oak it digs straight down to receive its strength and to be fed.

 Like a pine tree we should never discard or overlook someone due to the extra work or aggravation. For we never know what type of resources they may carry in the heart that can help carry us the extra mile….First learn to tap the source and then learn to spread to others…

Old & New Working Together…

June 24, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever studied the human anatomy and how the human cells are growing new ones every day? Have you ever thought about the purpose of this maturity within our physical bodies and how it is related within the body of Christ? Learning to work within the body requires unity, understanding and harmony as the body matures in season.

  Working together requires maturing in love as we learn to stand in obedience for the next cell to take our place before moving to the next location within the body. This is to take place without frictions within the body in order to prevent restrictions and to allow the body or entity to function properly within life. The problem  that many cells encounter within this process is learning to trust God so they try to hold on to their positions for too long and this can restrict the overall movement in the direction of God. Sometimes cells have to die off before the next ones can enter in for the new life to begin.

 This same principle applies within our homes, our careers as well as in the overall body of the church. For when we learn to move in the hand of God is when greater things can take place as well as maintaining the body that we have been given. Here is question for you this morning,”Are you ready to be moved?” If not then what is wrong with this picture? For there is no cell within the physical body that ever stays intact nor healthy unless it is ready to moved into the next position. The object is to disciple one to one day replace the next…For if a cell is undeveloped when thrown into position how could this affect the overall body? Are you ready? Are you training

A Word Of Encouragement…

June 23, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Here is word that might make some people crindge, “Exercise.” Have you ever thought about the meaning of this verb? When you train yourself as an athlete you learn to push yourself towards certain goals and you learn to strive to improve with every day that you are given. This same principle should not only be applied to the phsical realm but to the mental and spiritual as well.

 What happens when you quit moving? Have you ever gotten stiff? What happens when you quit looking for something new? Do you think that you might get stuck in the old? This message is here to help encourage you this morning by taking a step in the direction that God has been nudging and to encourage you to reach further than before. For the more we seek the more we shall find and the object is to seek the Kingdom of God first in all that we do and then He will motivate us in the direction that we should go…

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…
