Pass Us Not O Gentle Savior…

by 1 Comment

Be who you are in Christ and do not allow the devil to trick you into being something or someone that you are not!!! The devil wants us to chase dead end roads in the wilderness but when we learn to stay focused on the testimony that God has given to each one of us then God will lead us down a road that no man can stop….For when we travel with the Lord He lifts us and He delivers us from bondage in order for His children to be set free…

Dear Lord I come to you as a humbled child asking Father for the Truth to set us Free…Lord how long must your children be oppressed? Lord how long must we continue to be robbed of the Victory that we have in Jesus? Please Lord here my prayer and my humbled cry for this nation and for all the oppressed. Lord I am praying for a spiritual awakening and revival in order to prepare us for your homecoming…Oh, Lord here my cry! Here me oh Lord…For this is your battle and it has already been won!!! Where ever you send me I will go and Lord I most of all thank you for restoring my life and given the eyes to see and the ears to hear. I know Lord that we have sinned greatly as a nation but I am praying for revival….amen

Watch what happens in restoration when we take that step of faith across the threshold of Life with Jesus…Here is the link…Pass Me Not O Gentle Savior

Leadership of God…

by Leave a Comment

Do you recall as a child playing follow the leader? The idea was to mimic the antics of the person in front of you in the line of boys and girls winding through the neighborhood. Being a follower was all right but being the leader was the most fun. Creating imaginative routes and task for everyone else to copy.

In real life, great leaders are rare. Often men and women are elected or appointed to leadership positions but then falter or fail to act due to the influence of the people or something of the world. Others abuse their power to satisfy their egos. Crushing or quenching the ones in their way and often squandering resources. Without faithful, ethical and effective leaders people often wander in the wilderness due to the lack of Godly direction.

Being a leader is not about being out front. Nor, is it about a position of power. It is about placing others in front of ourselves and learning to follow the direction of God for the best interest of the people. Jesus Christ taught this, all too well. Learning to be leader starts at the feet of Jesus and then following the guidance of the Holy Spirit while standing on the principles of God…amen

God’s Word Still Stands

by 4 Comments

The Book of Instruction that was given to Moses on Mt. Sinai reveals to us God’s nature and character. At first glance, to the unbeliever this may seem irrelevant due to our high-tech world but when we dig deeper we realize that the Holy Bible still speaks to us today.

God has not changed and His principles are for all times. As people and society change we should be constantly searching for ways to apply the principles of God to our present circumstances. It is easy to now see here in America the results of removing our focus God and when we look at history from the fall of Rome to the rise and fall of Israel we can witness the parallel to America today.

May God forgive us of our national sin and it is my humbled cry that God will raise up Godly leaders that are prepared to serve the people instead of themselves. In addition I pray that God will give the people the eyes and ears to recognize the Truth on the inside instead of judging someone based on the outside…amen

 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever…For He is the Truth, the Way and the Light…

Are You Tuned In?

by Leave a Comment

Staying in tune with God requires humility, obedience and sacrifice. In order to be dialed in with clarity this is received only through the love of Jesus. There are many other signals being produced that are there to lead us astray and the object is to filter the signals through the Word of God in order to see the Way. Sometimes the signals can be very deceiving and this is when it best to simply wait upon the Lord in order for Him to clear up the interference.

Often we experience inference due to sin, selfish desires or simply due to our human flesh but the closer we get to God the clearer the signal will become as we continue to dial in. The question is are we seeking to stay in tune or are we allowing the devil to disrupt the signal?

Here is some food for thought; How can I hear the music if I am not listening for the music? How can I hear God if I am not listening for God? It is easy to miss something if I am not looking for something and the question is, what are we looking and listening for? Last but not least, how can I recognize the voice if I do not know how to hear the voice or because I am too stuck on what I see due to forgetting how to believe?

Enjoy this song by Casting Crowns Voice of Truth and it is my prayer that we all stay in tune….

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me…John 10:27

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…
