How To Empower The People

June 12, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

Over the past 40 years here in America Satan has really made an outward showing of how he has been spiritually misleading this country through individuals by trying to motivate the people by material means. This deception has caused many to become lost and caused others to become oppressed because they are looking at what the world has to offer instead of learning how to be who they are under God. This spiritual misguidance that is affecting our world today has caused many people to grow without the maturity of God which teaches us how to not only be happy where we are but how to maintain what we have been given.

This spiritual deception is easy to see when you really open your eyes and ears to what the world has been teaching. For instance, those that have alot never have enough, those that don’t have much are always looking for more, and then there are those that don’t know how to use what they already have. This spiritual misguidance has not only affected the world but has also infected the church by trying to entice people to join because of what they have to offer on the outside and truly forgetting what it takes on the inside to maintain what we have been given.

When we feel as if we need to keep up with someone else here on earth or as if we have to be at a certain place to find God then we need to take a step back to insure that we are not being spirtually misled by Satan! For Satan wants us to never be happy where we are and he wants us to overlook what we already have because he knows our weakness in the flesh of how we like to take the easy way out. Think about it! If we are always seeking something that we don’t have then how can we appreciate what we do have?

Instead of talking about or showing others what we may have or what the world has to offer let’s learn to encourage other’s by uplifting them in the loving spirit of God by teaching them that they already have everything they need to succeed where they are when they learn to seek God for their direction. It is when we look for what we don’t have that Satan can spiritually suppress us by feeling that we don’t have what it takes to achieve our goals because we forget who is truly in control and this causes many people to never even make that step in faith.

When we have God we have everything and as we learn to use what He has given us today then He will give us what we need for tomorrow. God wants us to learn the importance of self discipline and principles in life to maintain what He provides in the spiritual freedom of Jesus Christ to see how high we can climb without a fall. It is very important to recognize how God can use us right where we are without feeling that we have to be somewhere else in order to receive the blessings that He gives in our hearts and soul.

No matter how many buildings we build or how glamorous our lives may be without the loving spirit of Jesus we will always be chasing the wind and feel empty on the inside. The object in life is to discover Jesus Christ and then learn to grow within the discipline of God while learning to do the best we can where we are in seeking to please God instead of man…amen

Return To God To Be Restored

June 5, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

How sad is this in America of how far we have drifted away from properly following and serving the Lord? Spiritually Satan has misled us into a nation of not enough time when we really do have the time, and he has caused us to react in fear because we have forgotten how to trust in the Lord. Our leaders say they care but they show a total different objective because they only do what can uplift them rather than doing their jobs and properly serving the people.

This same thing has even taken place in our homes and unfortunately even in the church. Have we forgotten what life is about? Have we truly forgotten God’s Word? The Lord never told us to leave someone in the ditch and to fill our own pantries with caviar while we throw a few crackers to others! The Lord never told us to only give to those that can give back in return! The Lord never told us to separate ourselves from the sinners and He especially never told us to hate good and love evil!

Many people have come to a point of only giving time and helping those that offer something back in return. If our check is large enough or we can make someone look good in front of the people then it is no problem to buy some time for someone to listen or receive some support. Have we come to such a point in our society that we have forgotten how to truly discern between good and evil? Have we come to such a point that we have forgotten how to recognize the confirmation that we receive in our spirit when we hear the Word of God because we are so focused on what we see?

Life is not about us! It is about serving others and learning to trust in God rather than in man. How far do we have to fall before we return to God? Is the Word of God so faint in the people that it is time for us to go home? How long are we going to try and rely on ourselves before we learn to rely on God? Until we learn to turn from our ways and seek God for our direction this nation is only going to continue to face the Lord’s judgement for our disobedience!

What we have to remember is that nothing is over until God says it is over and it is our job as a true Christian to make the most out of every day that we are given to help someone else rather than ourselves! Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ displayed this example all the Way to the cross and the Word of God tells us us to never give up no matter how far we fall! All it takes is a little light in the darkness to see the Way and God will give us the strength as we learn to pray…amen

It is when we hold back that we won’t receive what God has in store…

Who Guides Your Decisions?

May 29, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

It is very important to examine the deep roots of our intentions, our goals, and our life ambitions to insure the right spiritual seed that is guiding our path. This examination is not only important before we make our decisions but it is equally if not more important to continue throughout our commitments as we begin to build our relationships, our careers, and our missions in life.

When people don’t know God and understand how He is in full control they often make their decisions based on their own knowledge or desires which can be driven through our emotions and selfish ambitions. Spiritually Satan wants us to make these type of decisions because he knows that when we don’t truly seek God in our decisions how easily they can be broken.

Unfortunately, in today’s society many people make decisions that are far from God in hollow religion due to the influence of monetary gain and by trusting in man instead of learning to trust our Father in Heaven. It is in our human nature to want others to rely on us but when we do this then we are misleading the people because every single individual needs to learn how to rely on God instead of trusting in man.

Through my journey in life I have learned how Satan can even mislead us even when we think that we are on the right coarse. The key to this is staying humble in the love of Christ without allowing pride to separate us from the people. There was once a point that I would not listen to others because I thought that I had all the answers but there came a point that I had to learn a valuable lesson in allowing God to bring things together rather than trying to do it on my own.

It is very wise to listen and then go to God in prayer before we make our decisions in life to prevent us from acting in our emotions which can cause a division within the body. The Lord speaks in many different ways to warn us, to guide us, and to help unite us but when we become so stuck in our own way then it is only a matter of time that we forget God’s way. It is important to recall that His ways are much higher than our ways and His thoughts are much higher than our thoughts.

If we seriously want to maintain what God has given us in our homes, in our careers, in our churches, and even in our nation then we must learn to work together under God with mutual respect for each individual without divisions in the body. Spiritually Satan has done a good job of causing many divisions in this world because many people want to prove their own self worth rather than just being who they are under God and allowing Him to bring things together rather than trying to do it on our own.

Throughout history we learn of many great leaders who stood up in a time of need, not for the attention, not for monetary gain, nor for their own self glory. They did not have prepared speeches but they just spoke from their heart with God guiding their actions to help encourage and unite the people. It is vital in life that we learn to stand on the truth of God to maintain what we have been given because when we take it for granted then it is only a matter of time before it will be taken away.

Every single individual has a purpose in life and we all add value to each other when we learn how to work together rather than apart. It is my sincere prayer that we put aside our differences and learn to unite for our children’s future in God’s glory rather than our own. May God be with us and give every single individual that reads this the wisdom to work together in the love of Christ to help rebuild whatever in their life that may be broken…amen

For a decision that is right in the eyes of God is one that properly serves the people first and then if it is in God’s will then He will bless the people.

Momentum In The Spirit Of God

May 15, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

There is a great momentum that carries us forward in the spirit of God when we learn how to let go of what is holding us back. Everyday we encounter set backs spiritually by Satan that come from all different directions in order to remove our focus from what God has placed in our hearts to achieve and maintain. These set backs or restrictions in the spirit of God not only come from outside sources but many times they simply come down to one thing our own lack of faith in truly trusting God.

When we do not know how to trust in God it is natural for us in the flesh to place our trust in what we have instead of learning to understand what we are missing. We can witness this lack of trust in our relationships, in our careers, and unfortunately even in the church. Spiritually Satan likes us to have doubts in others because he knows that when we show our doubts then this will spread to others by planting a negative seed in the spirit of Satan instead of the positive seed of God in the Holy Spirit that can produce future fruit.

Have you ever worked under someone that did not understand how to reach certain goals in life because they were too scared of losing their own position? Have you ever been around someone that would not give their all because they were too scared of someone else leaving them behind? Have you ever experienced someone that tried to hold you back because they did not want to see you succeed? Or, have you ever just not made that step of faith because of your own internal doubts? This is exactly how Satan works in this world because he does not want us to move forward in the freedom of Christ and he wants us to be restricted just as he.

The Lord gave us principles to follow in order to maintain the foundation in the direction which God provides. But far too often we allow Satan to limit us to what can be achieved because of our own fears or of our own selfish pride. When we allow Satan to spiritually hold us back then we create a negative chain reaction that holds back others. And, if we are not careful during this suppression to recognize what is taking place in our own lack of trust in God then this can lead to a form of rebellion that can cause a division within our relationships, our careers, and sadly even in the body of Christ.

The object in life is to learn how to work together in the spirit of God not only to build something for our children’s future but in order to maintain the foundation from which we have been given. It is imperative as we mature to be on the lookout for those that God is raising up in our youth to carry on what God has already began. This same principle applies not only in the church but also in our careers to insure the logevity of what God has given for our children’s future. When we overlook this vital principle in the chain of life is when we often restrict others from the blessings that God provides in order to help carry us forward. God gives us children to carry on our family heritage, and God raises up men and women to reach new levels in life through the love of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, we often miss these blessings because we don’t know how to pass on what God has given because we fail to release our temporary control in order to maintain the momentum in the spirit of God.

I challenge you today to let go of what could be holding you back and learn to trust in God for the end results by giving your all in everything you do. Don’t allow Satan to misguide you spiritually into thinking that you can’t improve something when you can and don’t allow someone else to hold you back when all you have to do is trust in God and believe. This world is full of diversions to remove our focus from what God has given and until we learn to just trust in Him we will only continue to miss the blessings that He has before us…amen

A true leader is one that uplifts others rather than trying to only maintain something for themselves…

There Is No Hope Without God

May 8, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

It is very easy to become discouraged when we look around and see everything that is being shown in this world. Everywhere we look we see earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, and people crying out in need with others so focused on themselves that they have fallen into greed. This world is at a pivotal point that is going to have a deep impact on our children if we do not learn to trust in God instead of leaning upon man.

There isn’t a home, a city, a state, nor a nation that is not feeling the judgement of God that is taking place around the world because of our lack of obedience in His Word and keeping Him in front of our lives. It is imperative to recall that judgement of God does not mean that He is inflicting our pains because we are the ones who have brought this upon ourselves by following our own desires instead of following the Lords will.

Sometimes in life with children when they continue to disobey we have to allow something to take place in order for our children to receive the lesson that needs to be learned in correction for their future. This is where many people want to place blame on God or on something else because they fail to recognize how we are all accountable for our own actions.

Throughout the Word of God in the Holy Bible we are taught to count it joy when trials come our way because this only means that something better is on the way when we learn to trust in God rather than falling into despair. Satan has been steadily at work since the very beginning of time in deceiving us to rely on ourselves rather than learning to be patient in growth that helps us to properly develop in our maturity.

Spiritually Satan wants us to focus on the world rather than staying focused on God because he knows how weak we are in the flesh and how easily we can become distracted from the love of God that is given in the family. When we maintain our relationships with God at the head of our lives there is a security that we receive in the love that is given. Not only do we receive comfort in the family of God but we also receive peace in our spirit because we know that whatever happens in our lives that the true love in the family of God will never fail us even when we fall.

There is no question that America along with other nations around the world are going to continue their downward spiral unless we repent and return to the Lord. Man cannot fix the problems that we have put into place due to the years that it has taken for all of this to build into what we are now facing today. Our only hope is in God and until we begin to seek Him for our direction and learn to trust in Him for the outcome our trials will only get worse.

God allows us to go through certain things in our lives in order for us to learn how to depend on Him and for us to grow stronger for our children’s future. Each one of us are going through something either directly or indirectly and it is our purpose to never give up or lose hope no matter what we have to face. God will give us the strength that we need when we depend on Him rather than relying on ourselves and when we learn to act in true love with one another in the family of God we will be amazed at what can take place in the Spirit of the Lord.

Always know that God is still in control and He protects us even when we don’t understand everything that may be happening around us. We must learn to trust in God’s protection and deliverance by maintaining our integrity throughout tough situations to always do what is right by Him instead of only thinking about ourselves. So no matter how hopeless something may seem or how much we may want to give up we need to always recall that God is in control of the world and when we do our parts the Lord will always do His…amen

For our God is a faithful and forgiving God that specializes in bringing His people back to Him through the love of Jesus Christ…
