Breaking The Repetitive Cycles…

by Leave a Comment

 Cycles in life are repetitive until we learn to look within the patterns and then allow God to show us the Way. For if we continue to face a repetitive issue then there is a reason it continues to appear. The object is to break through without any fears.
 Why would Satan want to use another tactic to hold us back when the very one he has before us is working? May every person that reads this message have a break through and grow deeper in the well. We serve an awesome God that only wants us to discover His Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven.

A Clean Heart…

by 1 Comment

 In Matthew 6 Jesus teaches us about forgiveness. He says in verse 14,” For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Due to the lack of teaching on this Word of Truth from Jesus many people have fallen into a state of spiritual prison. What they don’t realize is that the longer someone carries unforgiveness then this begins to restrict the blood flow within the heart. For the longer we restrict the Truth the harder and more restricted our hearts become.

 Our Heavenly Father loves each of us as we love our children and what parent does not forgive their child but only a parent who does not know how to love their child. If there is anyone in your life that is causing you bitterness due to some wrong that was done learn to be set free by trusting God and forgiving that individual. As Jesus said on the cross,”Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.”

Faith During The Storm…

by Leave a Comment

 Storms come and go in our life and some storms have life changing affects. We might not always know why the storms come while some happen because we bring them upon ourselves. It is during the storms of our life that we can easily see our maturity in Christ based upon how we stand. Through every storm when we learn to lift up our hands to God is when He will show us the Way.

 Storms can help us to strengthen our faith and they are to remind us of who is in control. Spiritually Satan wants us to focus on the storm where Jesus tells us to stay focused on what is on the other side. It is our place to walk in faith without fear or without arguing or complaining while simply trusting in God to bring us through.

 Please join me in prayer that God will give strength to every family that has suffered a loss and that this country will open up their eyes to the Truth. It is when we don’t learn during the storms of our life that they tend to come back again and may God have mercy on this nation once again to show His Mighty Glory…Amen

 This song by Casting Crowns titled Praise You In The Storm helped my wife and I through our tornadoes in life. May it help some of you as it has helped us…

                        Psalm 23

 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he Leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

The Bite Of A Serpent…

by Leave a Comment

 There is alot of wisdom that comes from God when we sincerley seek His Word and learn to listen. As we have discussed serpents and the enemy previously this week I pray that each reader of this message has the ears to hear and the eyes to see. For God teaches us through His Holy Spirit and He teaches us so much through His creation.

 Here is a message on the bite of a serpent. Like any poisonous snake that injects its venom into our veins the words and actions of others are the same. See, if you are bitten by a rattlesnake you can not use the venom of a copperhead to heal the body. It takes the same exact venom from the same species of snake to counteract the poison that can destroy the body.

This message parallels the same message of sin. For if we do not address our sins as a bite of a snake and we try to cover them up without knowing the type of wound then we are setting our body up to be stunted or for decay. See the bite of the serpent works in two ways; 1) It affects the one doing the biting and 2) It affects the one that has been bitten.

 The only way for the one that has been bitten to recover from the bite is through true forgiveness through the love of Jesus Christ. The object though is to recognize the snake before they strike. How do we recognize the bites of the serpent you might ask? This only comes through knowing the Word of God and the way react when bitten shows our maturity in Jesus Christ.

 Too many times we try to cover up our sins with something that leaves the infection still deep within. Until we learn how to retract our bites through confession and repentance then our lives will be remain infected with a posionous venom. If this message has stirred something in your spirit and you recognize where you have bitten then I pray that you humble yourself to retract the venom from the one you bit. Or, if this message stirrs something in your spirit where you were once bitten then I pray that you will open your wound up for the healing of Jesus at the cross…Amen

For Jesus said,”Forgive them Father for they know not what they do“.

Can You Imagine?

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever experienced the love of a child trying to please you as a mother or a father? Has your heart ever gleemed in that moment to the point that you can still recall it today? As a child, can you recall a time that you tried to please your parents or someone you looked up to out of love? These moments of our hearts glowing are gifts from Heaven. They shine ever so bright due to the obedience of a child.

 Now, I want you to go further with me in this. Can you imagine our Father’s heart in Heaven how bright it must be when His children serve within the love of Christ that has set us free? Can you imagine how bright His light would shine? Can you imagine a heart without any darkness? Can you imagine the feeling of knowing that your Father’s arms are around you in spite of what you face or where you have been? 

 Always know that our Heavenly Father is watching and you will be amazed at what you receive when you begin to serve and obey…I Can Only Imagine

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…
