Stand Strong With God…

June 9, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Are you planted in the Word of God or do you sway however the winds of the world may blow? Our life can be compared to a tree that is planted in a pot when we are not rooted  to the source that holds us up. Think about it! A tree in a pot can only grow so much due to the restrictions of the vessel and another wise point to capture is how a tree in a pot has to rely on others to feed it because it never taps the eternal food source.

 If you were to look at your life today as a tree, where would you find your roots drawing their nutrients from? Would you find that your tree is resrticted due to the walls of the box that you live in? Or, would you find that your tree is healthy and reaching out daily to the light of Jesus Christ to grow stronger than before? In everyday that we are given we should be striving to increase our root system with the Lord to withstand the elements of this world. For there is nothing like learning how to stand on our own and knowing who holds us up…Amen

Spiritual Confirmations…

June 7, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Recognizing who and what is around you in your spirit is a vital part of maturity in Christ. The Lord has given us senses to develop as we mature in His Word and they can help discern between good and evil. There are only two types of spirits one being of light and the other being of darkness but where so many others are lost is in the middle.

 Knowing God’s Word is vital and keeping it in the front of our mind is crucial to help confirm the spiritual steps that we take. The devil is here to kill, steal and destroy and he does this in ways that we often miss because of our focus on the physical instead of walking in the spiritual. Sometimes the devil disquises himself as the angel of light and in these times of uncertainty is when we should wait on God to show us the true colors.

 One of the best confirmations is given in time for when we rush into things without knowing that it was guided by God is when they often fall apart. It is my prayer that in every decision that you make that you will test it to God’s Word to help insure the steps that you take…Amen

The Extra Mile…

June 6, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Jesus tells us to go the extra mile in everything we do. For when we exercise ourselves beyond our own expectations and learn to seek God to carry us further than before is when we discover a strength that is not our own. Many people never discover this due to the extra effort that is required but when your path is Kingdom minded without any self glory is when you can experience the hand of God that carries us forward.

 In everything you do go the extra mile as the Lord instructs and when you feel like you can’t go no more is when God can take you the extra mile…

God’s Love Covers All…

June 3, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Where is life without the spirit? For the breath of God is what gives us our life and the spirit that dwells within us is what shows who we are. For where we find life is where we will find God and where we we find stagnant growth or death is where we find the devil. The blood that is in our veins should be like sweet sap that comes from a tree and the leaves should show who we are.

 Our roots should grow wide and deep and the sap that fills our veins should overflow in love. For sap moves slowly and covers everything in its path as God’s love never leaves anyone behind. For there is great joy in the spirit of God and vibrant life as we learn to mature in Christ…Amen

Cleanse Yourself In Righteousness…

June 2, 2011 by admin 2 Comments

  If you were to examine the the blood that is traveling within your veins what you find in your heart that keeps it flowing? Did you know that you can honestly feel what is in your blood and recognize the impurities that need to be cleansed? Think about it! How is your diet? What about your temperament? Are you struggling with bitterness or with lust? How about greed or jealousy? Or, are you suffering in simply distrust?

 Here is how we can recognize what is traveling in our veins. The next time you feel your heart pumping and your blood beginning to flow analyze what it is driving your heart to make sure that the love of God always shows. As a plant that is nourished by unclean water it never matures to its full potential as the plant that is being fed by the natural springs of living water that is pure and Holy…Amen

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…
