Be Real To Show Your Faith

May 13, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 The other day I was speaking with another individual who called me to share his pain. He could not understand why no one in the church nor in his own family would offer to help him when he was in need. The pastor whom he spoke with offered no help when he had no food in using the excuse that all their extra funds were being used to build their new facility. His own family would not help him either when he was in need nor even offer him something out of their deep freeze.

 This man was not bitter about this lack of obedience in the Word of God nor asking me for anything in return but he just could not understand when he was truly in need how no one give him a helping hand. He went on to share how these same people used to be there for him when he had something to give them in return but now that he is the one in need that these same ones have turned their backs but they still claim to believe.

 The Word of God teaches us to help those in the family of God and the Lord even tells us not to charge interest to our brothers and sisters in Christ. How far have we drifted from properly serving the people because we care more about what we can get in return?  God blesses us to bless others and not to only feed ourselves. I challenge you today to go out of your way and help someone that is in need and show the love of Jesus Christ in whom you believe…amen

 For God blesses us when we bless others and it is not the blessings that we receive on the outside but the true love that is gained on the inside…

The Outside Will Reveal The Inside

May 11, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever been around someone that put emphasis on what they have or do on the outside instead of keeping the focus on who they truly are on the inside? Satan has done a good job misleading us in prestige and knowledge to the point that it has caused and still causing a division in the body of Christ. The holier than thou attitude and the prestige that many have fallen into is directly against what the Lord Jesus taught us in the Word of God.

 Nobody likes to hear someone else brag or boast because all this does is creates a negative chain reaction of Satan that can cause competition between people. When someone feels as if they can’t keep up then why would they want to keep going? Or, when someone feels as if they are above someone else then how would they properly be serving the people? 

 Everyone knows the lesson that Jesus taught when the disciples wanted to know who was better than the next. He, our Lord and Saviour, got on His own knees to serve while the others argued over their position. I challenge you to never be deceived by Satan in thinking that you are better than someone else nor don’t ever think that you can’t keep up because all this is is Satan trying to hold you down…amen

 We all walk together and go home together while truly loving one another in Christ…

Stay Connected In The Family Of God

May 10, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Don’t let your personal desires for approval, applause, and popularity to take you away from the humbled path of God. It is very easy when we are climbing the mountain with God to lose sight of how to make it to the other side. In our climb with God it is our place to help those that may be behind us as well as it is our place to encourage those that are ahead of us.

 The moment we forget how to connect in the family of God through the love of Jesus Christ is when we will get left behind. I challenge you today to never allow Satan to deceive you into thinking that you are better than someone else nor ever allow Satan to cause you to think that you are not good enough. What we have on the outside does not make who we are, for it is what we show in our humbled spirits that reveals the light of Jesus Christ…amen

Are You Really Listening For God

May 5, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy to become immune to the teachings within the Holy Bible and dulled with its words when we hear it spoken so often. Rather than just scanning over something or acting as if we are listening we should stop to listen to every verse and then ask the Holy Spirit to help us answer this question, “How does this apply to my life?”

 There is something to learn in every aspect of life and God speaks to us in many different ways but far too often we miss what needs to be heard because have forgotten how to stop and truly listen. I challenge you today to slow down and focus on what needs to be heard to allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in your actions because you never know what the Lord might be trying to teach along the Way…amen

 “When you begin to listen for God you will hear God, but unless you are listening how can you honestly expect to receive?”

God Restores When We Commit & Obey

May 1, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 Throughout the Word of God the Lord points out the results of sin in our lives and how it will not only affect the family but it can also take down a nation. To have a family we must be united through love with the understanding that it requires specific principles to maintain our foundation. There is great respect in the family of God because we know what it takes in self discipline to not only maintain the true love that we carry but we also understand the commitment which is required to achieve our goals.

 Our founding fathers understood this when they formed this nation here in America but over the years of America chasing its own desires instead of staying focused on God our country has fallen into sin. The United States of America is at a pivotal point in its direction that is not only having a current impact on us but is going to have a major impact in our children’s future. Many leaders today have fallen weak to the pressures of selfish desires and allowed sin to infect the overall body because of caring more for themselves than truly caring about this nations future.

  John Adams once said, “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our constitution was made only for moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

 President George Washington once said, ” It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”

 James Madison, the primary author of the Constitution of The United States once said this,”We have staked the whole future of our new nation, not upon the power of government; far from it. We have staked the future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments.”

 God guided our ancestors here to America through the love of Jesus Christ in search of freedom and equality for all mankind. Our founding fathers were very wise and committed to maintaining our foundation under God to the point that they sacrificed everything for what we are now trying to hang on to. If Americans do not learn to recognize leaders that serve God instead of man and continue to put people in place that are more interested in the position that they seek for their own recognition rather than properly serving the people then God help us for what is going to come!!! 

 In 2 Kings of the Holy Bible we learn the importance of being obedient in Gods Word and building a nation that will stand in love for our childrens future. This same principle applies to us today individually and then spreads to our homes in order to maintain the liberty which we have all been given through the blood of Jesus Christ. The Lord tells us in II Chronicles 7:14, “If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

 It is time that we as loving Christians learn to unite in the body without a division of indifference to sincerely pray for our nation to be restored for our childrens future. It is my sincere prayer that we learn how to let go of ourselves and allow God to guide our direction by learning to trust Him with self discipline to reach our goals. Life is not about who we think we are under God but about knowing who we are under God through His mercy and grace.

 I pray for men to step up and to be men under God to help protect this nations future with a renewed spirit of strength and love to help us unite once again under God with liberty and justice for all. May God be with us and give us direction in the storms ahead with a peace that will get us to the other side..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…
