Are You In Spiritual Slavery?

by Leave a Comment

 Have y0u ever thought about the different spiritual strongholds of Satan that place us in a form of bondage to rob us of the freedom that we can experience in the love of Jesus Christ?  Think about it; Is there something in your life that is holding you back? Due to the lack of proper teaching in the Word of God and our country drifting away from the Truth it is easy to fall into spiritual slavery that allows Satan to rob us of our purpose and our joy in life.

 Many people in the church and outside the church are walking in physical freedom here in America but little do they know how they are in spiritual bondage because they do not understand the overall objective in this life. Jesus did not only come here to save us but He came here to teach us that there is much more to life than what we physically think that we see. This life is is to serve God’s purpose and to decide the direction which we take from Heaven or Hell. I challenge you today to look DEEEEP within yourself and ask God to point out something in your life that could be holding you back. Once you recognize this whether in greed, anger, jealously, unforgiveness, pride, lust, deceit and the list goes on and on the next step is asking God to help you remove these strongholds through the love of Jesus in order to be set free…amen

So many times we allow Satan to have victory because we forget who is in control…

Spiritual Maturity

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever noticed how easy it is to allow something or someone to negatively impact our day? We all face different types of ups and downs from time to time but the closer that we walk with Jesus and take our eyes off of the physical side to recognize the spiritual side in this life helps us to overcome the situation. Rather than getting upset with the way things may seem to be heading learn how to bring Jesus into the picture in prayer and then trust God to for the Victory in the overall situation.

 It is impertive to recognize that all Satan wants spiritually is for us to either engage or lose heart in discouragement. When we spiritually mature to this recognition is when we learn the art of being as wise as a serpent but as gentle as a dove. The Lord does not tell us that all things are possible for nothing. If you recall He said that all things are possible if we believe. I challenge you this morning to open your eyes beyond what you see and learn how to recognize the driving force that is in the situation. Then act in the love of Jesus and allow God to bring you through…amen

God Loves You

by Leave a Comment

 There is one thing that I have truly discovered in this physical life and that is just when we think that we can’t go no more that God will step in to show us the Way. So many  times in life when we are broke, when our marriages are in shambles, when our children won’t seem to listen,and when our jobs seem to be meaningless we tend to allow ourselves to be robbed by Satan spiritually in thinking that there is no hope or use when there really is.

 This morning the Lord has placed on my heart to tell you that there is Hope in every circumstance when we learn to place our trust in Him rather than in ourselves or in the world. No matter how bad things may seem or how dark your day may be place your trust in Jesus and allow Him to bring you through. It helps to realize that we sometimes have to go through the hard times to learn how to appreciate the good times….amen

Look Beyond What You See

by Leave a Comment

 When you look at something that you have before you do you look at it as an obstacle or do you see it as something that God has put before you to help grow in His Word? So many times we allow our vision to become restricted because we become so fixated on a particular spot that we tend to lose sight of everything else. It is in our human nature to want to throw something away when it does not work according to plan but it is vital that we recall who’s plan we are to follow.

 Where many of us tend to lose sight as we grow older and more impatient is the actual time and delicate touch that is required in the hands of God to be shaped into the vessel that He intends for us to be. Shaping and molding is something that comes in time as we learn the art of God’s Word to help restore something before it is broken. 

 For without the loving hands of God’s children all around us how would you feel if you were broken and all alone? I challenge you if you know someone that is struggling or going through a hard time to take the time to show them the love of Jesus that is in your heart. Sometimes all we need to overcome our trials is to just know that someone truly cares…amen

The Wheel Of Life In God’s Will

by Leave a Comment

 There is a wheel to life that is God’s will and that is for us to forgive one another in order for our own sins to be forgiven. Jesus tells us in Mark 11 that when we pray to first forgive anyone that we may be holding a grudge against, so that our Father in Heaven will forgive ours as well. What many people do not understand is when we allow a grudge to build in our lives that they affect not only our relationship with God but they also have negative affects on our health and with others.

 Have you ever considered that God is the one that Created the wheel of life and how through the love of Jesus is what carries us forward? If you were to picture your life today as a wheel would you see flat spots? How about knots of unforgiveness? Are you carrying some things that maybe you need to let go of? How is the pressure in your wheel? Are you filled with the fruit of the spirit or does Satan have you so worked up that you feel as if you are going to explode?   

 We all pick up trash from time to time as we travel down the road of life but the object is to keep our wheel in balance and filled with the love of Jesus Christ so we can reach our eternal destination.  It is imperative to understand that spiritually Satan wants us to harbor things because he knows how this can harden our hearts to the point that we destroy what we have around us. I challenge you today if there is someone that you have been holding a grudge against to let them know that you forgive them and allow God to move you forward…amen

 Sometimes we have to let the air out in love in order for God to fill us back up again to move forward…

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…
