Running On Emotions…

August 18, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Imagine yourself walking on a 2×4 wall that is stood up 12 feet in the air. The wind is blowing and the skies are clear and you know that in every step God is near. Now as you are walking this wall that is part of a home that is being built can you imagine what would happen if you got caught up in your emotions and took your eyes off of the 2×4 wall that you are walking?

Can you see the importance of maintaining your focus in order to maintain your balance? What would happen if you froze up on the wall? Learning to trust God and not act in our emotions is vital to maintain the integrity within our homes and to help others learn how to trust within God. This lesson is taught in the book of Joshua from the fall of Jericho to the defeat in Ai as the Israelites acted on their emotions before insuring their steps with God. Within this lesson God is teaching us in the spirit how to walk the narrow road with Him in order for our homes to stand and to maintain our balance within this foreign land..

Blueprint…

August 17, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever considered the purpose of a set of blue prints before you begin to build a home? Can you see a costly issue without a set of drawings? How about the importance of having the skills for the trade and the proper tradesman to assist as you need? Without the skills can you possibly see some costly lessons that will be learned along the Way? Have you ever considered the most important part of the construction within your home?

Without the proper foundation that is fastened to the rock then every other home will struggle to stand and is destined to fall. Many people in life and even myself at one time try to build something without the proper understanding and before we were mature enough to maintain. The world likes to speed things up where God wants us to stay in tune as we continue to apply the blueprints of instruction in His Word to our lives in order to balance our homes.

For every nail that is driven are nails that hold it all together in love…Without the nails we only fall apart as the winds of sin begin to blow…

But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it… Matthew 7:14

Walking The Narrow Road…

August 16, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

For the path of God may be narrow but the longer we mature within His Word and learn to listen to His voice without fears we will find that the narrow road contains everything we need and that there is only one direction to travel in moving forward.  The path of God takes us forward without us looking back or in hesitation for we were not created to walk backwards or from side to side.

Imagine yourself as a mature builder that has no fear of heights. All that you have is a 2×4 to walk on as you build your home. You feel safe and secure when standing on the ground before you start walking up high when all you can see is the sky. The winds tend to blow harder the higher you climb and if you don’t know when to walk and when not then you could be setting yourself up for a fall.

Walking the narrow road with God is road that requires balance through self discipline and trust without fears. For each one of us are builders of our own homes which starts first within our self. Once we learn how to walk in faith is when God will add some rooms for others to join in on the build that is to be serving within Kingdom of God…

But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few
ever find it. Matthew 7:14

Stay On Track…

August 15, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Sometimes to see the Way we must lose the path in order to find it again. For if we don’t know that we are lost on our path how would we ever find the Way back home? The sad part is when we think that we are on the path but later discover that it was a dead end road.

The object is to recognize the signs along the Way before we reach the dead end and to be willing to admit that we made a wrong turn on a track that led us astray. Sometimes we need to ask for directions and it is important that we ask someone that knows the Way. For what good are directions if we are not willing to listen to instruction?Because if we don’t know the Way then we are headed for destruction…

John 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto
the Father, but by me.

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…
