There’s Always Hope In God’s Mercy…

January 15, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It doesn’t matter how bad something may seem or far someone may have fallen for there is always hope in God’s mercy and grace. Throughout history God has restored individuals, families, and even nations but only when they returned to Him with repentant hearts. All it takes is us putting God first in our lives and learning to trust in Him to give us the direction which we need. Don’t ever fall to thinking there is no hope, for when you do this then you are doubting God’s Word!

 As long as we have life there is hope and it is our job as a true Christian to follow God’s Word and serve others instead of ourselves. Many of us encounter different test in our life in order to grow stronger and to learn how to trust in God instead of what we see. I challenge you today and every other day to put God first in everything you do and never lose hope no matter how bad something may seem. It is when we learn from our past that we can move forward in our future…amen

Never Doubt God’s Promise…

January 13, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 In our spiritual maturity it is imperative to recognize how God supplies us with our needs here on this earth to accomplish what He wants in our lives to serve His purpose and not our own. But so many times we lose sight of this and fall to what we see while chasing everything of this world instead of thinking about what God wants in our lives verses what we want for ourselves.

 Our lives are to be an example to others and He will bless us for our obedience whether in this life or in the next. God’s promise still stands just as strong today as it did with Abraham many years ago. It is not for us to get caught up in what we don’t have but learn to appreciate what we do have. When God told Abraham that he was going to have a son and Sara laughed neither of them should have ever doubted God’s Word but accepted it in faith rather than taking matters into their own hands.

 I challenge you today and every other day to not get caught up in what you don’t have but learn to content in what you do have. Then if it is in the Lord’s will that He blesses you in this life then just consider it a blessing from God for what He has given…amen

Christianity In America…

January 9, 2010 by admin 4 Comments

 When you study the demographics of different religions in The United States of America you will find that the United States has more Christians than any other country in the world. Based on a previous Wikipedia poll completed in 2007 it showed that America consist of 76% Christian and the remaining percents are claimed by others who follow other beliefs or no beliefs at all.

 Based on this fact of America being 76% Christian why is that we have so much deception, dishonesty, greed, lust, unforgiveness, and lack of true love within the body of the church? Why is it that so many Christians have so much lack of code and honor in their way of life? Do we think just because we call ourselves Christians that we are excused from judgement and can live as we choose until we are called home? It is sad to see how so many Christians here in America have allowed the world into the church and fallen weak in faith to not stand up for what is right by God in our homes to keep this country intact.

 When you study the different religions you will find that a majority of other beliefs can stand together to accomplish a mission but when it comes to today’s Christians many just argue and dispute the Way that has already been given by God through Jesus Christ. Why is that Muslims can stand united with other Muslims but the Christians can’t even agree on which denomination properly sets them free? If there was anyone in this fallen world that has held true by majority and seeked peace in everything they do it is the Amish and the Mennonites that have clearly understood how to live in this world but not of this world. This is sad but true how so many in the Christian body have lost their unity and forgotten how to work together in serving God instead of serving themselves.

 Are Christians so blind and deaf here in America that they have forgotten how to recognize the Word of  God and forgotten how to respect each person for the roll that God has given?  This hurts my heart for what I hear and see not only as a Christian but as an American that understands how God gave us this country to be set free. Now with my new understanding in life through Jesus Christ I see how America has fallen to Satan in chasing their fleshly desires instead of trusting in God and allowing Him to supply us with our needs. Satan is very clever and has fooled many Americans as he once fooled Eve in the Garden of Eden. 

 It is in our human nature to want something before we are ready and to seek the easy route to achieve our goals but as we can now obviously see this is not the proper way to believe! Jesus plainly taught us when tempted by Satan to look past our immediate desires to understand the possible outcome before we make our decisions in life. He also taught us what would happen to our riches when we began to fill our own barns instead of helping others to build theirs to help feed others along the Way. America might look good from the outside but what good is it if we have nothing left on the inside? We all know what happens to the barn that has no inner strength to hold itself up, and it is my sincere prayer that every Christian here in America learns to put aside our differences for the sake of our children’s future.

 Our barn might be financially empty here in The United States of America but the pillars that still stand are the Christians that help hold this country together. For without Godly principles, discipline and order through the love of Jesus Christ this country would be no different than the others that have always wanted what we have. What we have is what God has given and anyone that tries to take it away is not working for God but working for Satan.

 Life is not about what we have on the outside but who we are on the inside. There is no competition in the body for every part learns to respect each part for the roll they carry while learning to serve each other along the Way. There is no excuse for sin as God told Adam in the Garden of Eden and there is no placing blame for what we know in our hearts to be true. So, I challenge each of you that may read this post to step up to the plate and begin to seek God’s will in your life and not your own  If you have something in your life and you know it is not right then fix it before it destroys you! God is real and knows your heart and soul so the real question is, ” Do you know who you are or have you lost sight of your purpose in life?”

 All it takes is that first step, and then every other step will gain momentum with strength once we commit to serving God instead of ourselves…amen

Allow God To Say ‘When’…

December 30, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 There are two parts in life that are very difficult to understand until we learn to trust in God and allow Him to carry us forward. One, is our youth and recognizing when to step up. Second, is our maturity of recognizing when to step aside to help our youth or someone else that God is directing to help carry us forward in the love of Jesus Christ.

 So many times in our homes, in our relationships, in our careers and even in our churches we face decisions that need to be made to carry on what God has given in this journey of life. But when we don’t face what is before us then we are only allowing Satan to hold us back in the spirit of God. There is a great momentum in the spirit of God when we begin to work in the love of Jesus Christ. It is our job to serve God the best we know how until He brings someone else to help carry us forward. When He does this then it is our position in our maturity to help develop the youth into who God wants them to be.   

 I challenge you today and every other day to not only serve the best you know how in the glory of God but teach others how to develop their gifts to serve our children of the future. For as the Lord teaches us our lives are like grass and we only bloom for a little while. The only way to keep the bloom alive is by learning to spread that seed to others…amen

Living Free Under God…

December 28, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 James 4:17  “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.”   

 So many times in life we know what needs to be done but we allow Satan to hold us back because we don’t want have to face the immediate results instead of looking at the future outcome. When we hold back what we know in our hearts then we are only allowing Satan to dig a deeper well for us to climb out of. The object is learning to seek God for the timing to address and trusting in Him to bring it all together. 

 It is very easy to fall complacent and give in at times to something that we know is not right by God and still think that we will be excused. But what we need to asking ourselves  is this,” What if it is not?” A child of God knows when they are doing wrong by the conviction of the Holy Spirit and if we want God to bless our lives then we need to follow His Word and strive to do good in everything we do. i

 There is nothing worse in this world than to live with a conviction of the Holy Spirit and try to hide our issues that we may carry. When we learn to humble ourselves and do what is right by God then there is a freedom in life that we will receive through Jesus Christ. I challenge you today and every other day to not live in a spiritual prison and allow Satan to rob you of the peace that you can have…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…
