Natural Gifts Of God

by 2 Comments

  One of the most important things about teaching is learning to recognize the natural strengths of each individual to help them develop their God given talents into maturity. Have you ever seen the difference between an artist that went to school to learn how to paint verses an artist that  was just born with a natural gift of God?

 Their is a distinct difference in the expression of the art between the two because you can feel the difference in the depth of the painting in the one born with the natural gift verses the one that was taught by man. It is the passion behind our goals that shows the depth of our picture in life and when we overlook those with natural gifts of God due to rules and procedures is when we so often miss what God has right before us.

 In today’s society many have become seriously blinded to the natural gifts of God in others due to their own fears and the amount of emphasis being placed on the accomplishments of man instead of seeing the accomplishments of God. It is very easy in our human nature to become blind when we place so much emphasis on the guidelines to follow along with the sins of others as the Pharisees did in the Holy Bible and Jesus warned us of this in order for us to maintain our Balance in life. The Lord gives us guidelines to follow but He also taught us how to be alert to our surroundings because we never know where God could be working next. 

 There is no better blessing in this world than to know that we played a roll in the Kingdom of God by helping His children discover who they are as child of God and develop the talents which the Lord provides to further His will and not our own. I challenge you to look beyond what you see in the physical to recognize what can take place in the spiritual to further the Kingdom of God for our children’s future…amen

 For we never know what God has right before us until we learn to look for God instead of man…

Look In The Mirror Before You Speak

by Leave a Comment

 Jesus tells us to examine our own motives and conduct instead of judging others. The traits that often bother us in others are often the habits we have ourselves. Our bad habits and behavior patterns are the very ones that we most want to change in others. Do you find it easy to magnify someone else’s faults while excusing your own? 

 When you find yourself ready to criticize someone else first check yourself to see if you deserve the same criticism. Judge yourself first and then lovingly forgive and help your neighbor for we all have areas that can be worked on…amen

Our Independence & Freedom Come From God

by 5 Comments

It is important to recall the spiritual objective of Satan in robbing us of our freedom which we have been given through the blood of Jesus Christ and how he wants us to live under his control to rob us of who we are as a child of God. If you open your eyes to this truth we can see how Satan has been working spiritually over the years to remove our freedom here in America within our homes, our churches and our nation through individuals that failed to recognize who they were following in their own selfish ambitions which tries to hold down others due to their own insecurities and lack of understanding in the Word of God. 

 The freedom which we have been given by God here in America has been under attack since the formation of this country and due to our complacency in the Word of God we have allowed Satan to make a stronger foothold in this nation by trying to please the people and ourselves instead of our Father In Heaven. Our freedom comes in our freewill which we have been given by God in the choices which we make, and if we are not careful to recognize the spiritual traps of Satan whos main objective is to rob us of our own Independence under God then we are only allowing Satan to separate us further from the truth which we know.

 When we do not understand how to trust in God and follow our heart then we become very vulnerable to the spiritual control of Satan. One of the most deceptive ways that Satan likes to misguide us is in the spirit of power due to the impact on the people. The spiritual deception that comes in influence and power is a very strong spirit that can ultimately lead to destruction if we are not careful to understand what is taking place under God. Once we recognize what is taking place it is our position to speak the truth in love and do our jobs to the best abilities which we can while trusting in God to make a way for our children to move forward. There is something that each one of us can do to make a positive difference in the life of another and if we are not seeking God for our direction and using our blessings that He has given to serve His will instead of our own then we need to ask ourselves what we are really doing for our children’s future? 

  In the freedom which God has given us it is also vital that we understand the purpose of self discipline that is taught in the Holy Bible in order to maintain what we have in our homes and in our nation. Without God man can not handle power and without the love of Jesus in our hearts we lose touch with the people! Learning to trust in God is a simple but difficult thing to do in our flesh. Because in the flesh we have fears of losing control rather than learning how to advance in the Kingdom of God by allowing Him to hold things together rather than us trying to do it ourselves.

 It is the Lords’ will that we all learn how to love one another for who we are under God with Him in front while each one of us learn how to work together as One in the love of Jesus Christ to serve His will instead of our own. I challenge every reader that reads this message to recognize the spiritual deception of Satan that takes place when we try to control our circumstances in life without allowing the love of Jesus to hold it all together…amen

How To Maintain Our Freedom

by 1 Comment

 When we do not understand how to trust in God and follow our heart then we become very vulnerable to the spiritual control of Satan. One of the most deceptive spirits of Satan is the influence of power which can lead to a controlling spirit when we don’t understand the Word of God. Within this controlling spirit of Satan its’ main objective is to rob us of our spiritual freedom that we have been given through the blood of Jesus Christ in order to suppress the love that we carry and to keep us from being who we are as a child of God.

 It is important to recall the main objective of Satan in robbing us of our freedom and wanting us to live under his control because this is how he receives his influence and power. If you open your eyes to this truth we can see how Satan has been working spiritually over the years to control our homes, our churches and our nations through individuals that failed to recognize who they were following in their selfish ambitions which enslaved the people. Our freedom comes in our freewill which we have been given by God in the choices which we can make, and if we are not careful to recognize the traps of Satan which can suppress us in our decisions then we could be setting ourselves up to be robbed of the joy which we carry in Christ.

 The spiritual deception that comes in influence and power is a very strong spirit that can ultimately lead to destruction if we are not careful to understand what is taking place under God. Many people have been robbed of their freedom because of how others have failed to live in love and trust God to hold things together instead of themselves. There isn’t a one of us that have never had to face some type of fear when speaking the truth, but when we can’t share what we know in our hearts to be true with one another in love then we need to ask ourselves who we are really falling to.

 In the freedom which God has given us it is vital that we understand the purpose of self discipline under God in order to maintain what we have. Without God man can not handle power and without the love of Jesus in our hearts we lose touch with the people! Learning to trust in God is a simple but difficult thing to do in our flesh. Because in the flesh we have fears of losing control rather than learning how to advance in the kingdom of God by allowing Him to hold things together rather than us trying to do it on our own.

 Throughout the Word of God He teaches us to respect every position while allowing the Lord to guide us in the spirit to reach our destinations to serve His will instead of our own personal desires. It is the Lords’ will that we all learn how to love one another for who we are under God with Him in front while each one of us learn how to work together as one in the love of Jesus Christ to reach our destinations in life.

  Until we learn how to face our fears and share our hearts with one another in true love then we only allow Satan to hold us in a spiritual prison which robs us of who we really are as a child of God. This spiritual lesson was taught in the book of Exodus with Moses as he had to address the spirit which was causing Pharoah to harden his heart and suppress the people because of his own fears of losing them.

  In life we all have to face our own types of Pharoahs in order to be set free from the spiritual bondage of Satan. These Pharaohs are not always in others but they are also our own fears that we carry deep within the inside of ourselves because we simply don’t how to speak the truth in order to be set free. In the spiritual lesson of Moses we learn how to follow God instead of man by trusting in Him to get us to the other side to help our children of tomorrow.  I challenge every reader that reads this message to recognize the spiritual deception of Satan that takes place when we try to control our circumstances in life without allowing the love of Jesus to hold it all together…amen

  Love is something that comes in our freewill without being influenced by something of this world in order to just be who we are under God to serve His will and not our own…

Turn Your Weakness Into Strength

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever noticed how we get sensitive in certain areas to the point that we snap at others? We all have those certain touchy subjects in our lives when we have not properly addressed something from our past or when we know that we are simply not doing as we should. It is in our human nature to make up all kind of excuses to avoid the truth but when we learn to accept the truth in a humbled spirit and work hard everyday to maintain what God has given is when we receive the peace in knowing that we are doing the best we can.

 Every single day we should be making a conscious effort to improve our health, our jobs, our relationships, and our homes in order to maintain what God has given. I challenge you to recognize & study your sensitive areas to see what needs to be done to strengthen your weaknesses rather than allowing your weakness to out do your strengths…amen

 We never know our strengths until we know our weaknesses…

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…
