The Spirit Of God Is Calling Out

by Leave a Comment

 God teaches us that our actions display in whom we serve whether being our self, Satan or the Kingdom of God. When we drift away from the Lord it becomes very easy to neglect our responsibilities under God and neglect how we are serve others instead of ourselves. Why is it that we see so many churches chasing one another and trying to make the grand event? Why do so many Christians speak on having faith and trusting in God while their barns are full and overlook the needs of those in the crowd? Why is it that we complain about our government getting larger when the overall church is getting smaller? What is wrong with this picture?

 Do you think maybe we as Christians have neglected our responsibilities under God and passed on to others what we do not want to do?  The world says we need money stored up for rainy days while Jesus says to have faith and trust in God to supply our needs.  How long must we continue to sleep before we Wake Up to the Truth and help rebuild what the world has torn down? God has already given us everything we need to rebuild our nation here in America and until we quit fighting within ourselves and begin to love our neighbors as thyself America is only going to continue to lose what we have been given.

 Join me in prayer daily for God to open our eyes once again as One Nation Under God that was founded for the people and not for ourselves. For when we begin to help each other however God provides is when this nation will begin to rebuild and Stand again…amen

Enjoy The Journey Of Life

by Leave a Comment

 It is very easy to go through our daily routines and become blind to the what God has to offer when we get so wrapped up in the world. Our routines often cause us to function like a robot that moves without life with the direction that someone else said to follow. Life is full of adventure and beauty when we open our eyes to what God has to offer in His spirit which gives us the life to live.

 We all travel from time to time from one destination to the next and if you will really pay attention to your surroundings along the Way rather than focusing only on the destination you might be amazed at what you will find. We all tend to focus on where we are going to the point that we miss how God instructed us to get there. 

 I challenge you today to open your eyes and ears to the life that is around you to not miss something that God has right before you because life is not only about the destination but about the journey…amen

Child Like Faith

by Leave a Comment

   It is very easy to see the physical differences in people and allow these differences to cause a division within the overall body that create a barrier for us to overcome. These divisions that can come between us not only rob us of the blessings of God but they also open the door to Satan to spiritually misguide us into forgetting how we are to work together as One in the body as children of God.

 Jesus tells us that we will never enter into the Kingdom of God unless we become like little children and this is where we often miss the boat as we mature. A child does not judge an individual for what they have or for where they have been, for a child just looks for the love in the individual without any partiality from within. Another part of the child like faith is that they are still teachable in their tender hearts without becoming stuck in their ways to miss what God has before them.

 I challenge you today to open your heart and recall what it was like to be a child to hear the message that Jesus wants us to hear…

Don’t Allow Satan To Hold You Down

by Leave a Comment

 Yesterday, there was a lesson shared from Luke 10 on the Good Samaritan that helped someone that had been pushed aside by the very ones who claimed to follow the Word of God. This Jewish man that was in the ditch had been robbed by thieves as he traveled from one destination to the next. Who do you think was spiritually guiding the thieves to hurt this man that deserved no harm? Who do you think caused the ones to walk on by because they failed to hear another child’s cry?

 There is another way to see this message when we look at it in the spiritual eyes of Christ. The man that was traveling was a child of God that Satan set out to destroy. This man can be compared to a woman that has been raped and robbed of her dignity. This man can be compared to a child of God that that has been preyed upon in molestation in order to rob them of their self esteem. This man can be compared to the poor that has been robbed by the rich in order to keep him down due to someone else’s greed, and this man can be compared to someone in the church family that is crying out in their needs while the church neglects their duties of serving the people instead of worrying about where they are going next.

 Many of us have experienced pains in our life and some of us have fallen into the ditch at times but all that matters is how we pick ourselves back up again to return to the path that God has given. I challenge you today to not allow Satan to spiritually hold you down anymore in your mind or through others that are trying to rob you of who you are as a child of God!

 If you are in a ditch STAND UP and dust yourself off with your hands in the air in just thinking God for how you have been spared! Recognize those that are trying to hold you down and learn to love them to show who you are in Christ to help others along the Way…amen

Are You Following Or Neglecting

by Leave a Comment

 In The book of Luke 10 Jesus teaches us how to be alert and recognize the needs of othere’s that have been robbed not only physically but also spiritually by Satan. Through a lesson of a man that was robbed by thieves and left in a ditch Jesus teaches us to help those that have been abused without just walking on by.

 If you notice in this lesson the very ones who claim to follow the Word of God were the very ones that walked over him in the ditch and passed him by. Can you imagine what their conversation must have been with the man in the ditch as he reached out to them in need of help? Jesus tells us that the priest saw the man before he arrived and he just decided to avoid him by stepping to the other side. The next person that walked on by was the temple assistant who acknowledged the man in the ditch probably with an offering of prayer to feel like he did his part before stepping over him.

 Helping someone is more than just offering our prayers for those that are in need and placing our responsibilities on others to do our part. We never know who God might place in our path daily to test our faith and to see how we follow. If God has put someone in your path that may be in a ditch don’t avoid them and look the other way. For Jesus tells us to love thy neighbor as thyself and if you were the very one in the ditch how would you feel when your brother or sister in Christ just walked on by without hearing your internal cry?

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…
