Are You Making Emotional Decisions?

November 4, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever been at such a point in your emotions that you felt that you could no longer control yourself? Have you ever lost control and then later regretted your actions? Our emotions can be extremely dangerous when we do not have the discernment to recognize good and evil in the self discipline of God. The next time you find yourself being consumed by a particular emotion take a step back to insure the proper impact on the future.

 Don’t be blind sided spiritually by Satan in your emotions and allow him to set you back instead of trusting in God to carry you forward. This lesson is taught to us in Genesis 4 with Cain and Abel and throughout the Holy Bible. Another great lesson of this is with King Herod and the beheading of John the Baptist. King Herod allowed his sexual desires to blind him into something that he later regretted. Do you think that President Clinton and John Edwards might could relate with King Herod? 

 Unfortunately, we all can relate at times to allowing our emotional decisions to guide our actions and this is why it is imperative that we teach our children the Word of God to maintain our future. If there is something in you that is consuming you and robbing you of your joy turn to God in the love of Christ before you act to insure that everything stays intact…Amen

Discipline With Love And Justice

October 29, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 There are two principles that make up the very foundation of God’s character and they are love and justice. These principles are not easy to keep in balance but they are essential to maintain who we are as a child of God. Some people are loving to the point that they excuse wrong doing while other people are just the opposite in forgetting how to love .

 Love without justice leaves people in their sins because it is not aiming them to higher standards. On the other hand justice without love drives people away from God because it has no heart. To specialize in one and forget the other causes a distortion in our witness while leaving a negative impact on someone else.  

When you are called to discipline someone else like your children, students, employees or other church members do not be rigid. Vary your approach according to the goals you are seeking to accomplish and in each case ask yourself this question before your act, “Does this person need guidance or do they need to be nurtured?” 

 God is patient with us and we should be patient with others…

The Best Medicine

October 21, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 There are two stages of emotions that can arise spiritually from Satan when we do not know how to recognize them and subdue them in the name of Jesus. One is the immediate emotion that tempts us to act before we think and the second stage is when we allow the evil spirit to manifest in our minds to the point that it can grow into something that it should not to restrict or divide our relationships at a later date.

 So many times when we do not release the seeds of anger, jealously, bitterness, unforgiveness or pride they grow into something that causes us to be easily confused and tend to cause us to have shallow relationships with no depth in understanding.  When we do not know how to communicate in love and release the things that are holding us back then we often find ourselves either depressed or very temperamental.

 The world disagrees with this because they do not understand it and they can’t make any money off of it. The best medicine that we can ever experience comes in the Word of God in complete honesty with nothing to hide…

History Is A Tool For The Future

October 20, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

  Have you ever considered the importance of studying history not to to just learn the stories but to learn where and why something went wrong? So many times we get caught up in knowing the stories in history that we forget the main reason in learning from our past to possibly prevent something in our future.

 The Lord gives us the stories in the Old Testament to teach us how to be alert spiritually to evil and to recognize something in sin that can develop in us to divert the path that we are on. In Genesis 4 the Lord taught us this lesson before everything else with Cain and it was recorded for our own recognition to prevent something from consuming us to the point that it can destroy us. 

 History is a great tool when we know how to apply it to our lives today without becoming stuck in it to the point that we miss the lesson in it. The same evil spirits that have taken down men and women in history are the same spirits that attack us today. Don’t be fooled and think that history is only history because if you really pay attention to the times you will find that history tends to repeat itself until the people learn how to walk with Jesus to reach the other side…amen

The Art Of Forgiveness

September 24, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 1 John 2:9 ” He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in darkness until now.” Are you easily frustrated by the inevitable shortcomings of others? Are you a prisoner of bitterness or regret? If so, perhaps you need a refresher course in the art of forgiveness . If there exist even one person, dead or alive, whom you have not forgiven (and that includes yourself) follow God’s commandments and His Will for your life by forgiving that person today.
 Remember that bitterness,anger, and regret are not of part of God’s plan for your life but Forgiveness is. Think about it; Doing an injury puts you below your enemy; Revenging makes you equal with him; Forgiving sets you above the enemy!

The art of forgiveness is what sets us free…

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…
