End Times False Prophecy

May 21, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Throughout history man has tried to predict the future, and even how certain events in the End Times are going to take place. The Lord tells us how times are going to be and what to watch out for in false doctrine, false teaching and even in signs throughout the world but He plainly tells us, ” No man knoweth the hour nor the day except for thy Father in Heaven above.”

 It is very easy in life to get so wrapped up in trying to comprehend the End but when we do this we forget and neglect the day. Everyday we are given has something special when we learn to look in the right directions and appreciate Gods creation. So what if it is tomorrow or a thousand years from now as long as we are truly ready in our hearts with Jesus Christ for that day we are called home.

 The Word of God is about believing, having faith, maturing, and sharing with others as we are to be obedient to His Word. There is a day coming that we will be called home and we should be living everyday as if it were our last. The beautiful part of this journey in this physical life is learning to live in the Spirit of God and serving within His will in everything we do. Here is a piece of wisdom that  was shared with me as I seeked the Lord on individuals predicting the End Time. The Lord said to me,” There is a reason for doors to be opened in proper season and if fallen man knew the doors of the future he would forget or neglect the day!”

 Spiritually Satan has used this method of negative publicity on End Time predictions in order to bring confusion and doubt among the unbelievers and the weak in faith in an attempt to rob them of the joys they have in everyday given. For there is no worry when we know our destination and whats wrong with a little work because the work only makes us appreciate the rewards…Amen

Empowering Leadership & Discipleship…

May 1, 2011 by admin 3 Comments

 Empowering leadership is a critical stage of maturity and learning how to build within the instruction of God. This is one of the most neglected areas in leadership due to several reasons. Some leaders simply become consumed with their responsibilties and they fail to balance their time in recognizing the next one to fill their shoes. While some leaders simply allow their own pride to grow out of control so they never learn the art of true leadership which is called sacrifice in giving up something for someone else. Then there are those that have the title but know nothing about true leadership as a servant for the people due to their own personal desire of power and allowing their position to take presidence as an idol before God.

 In Exodus 18 we are taught true leadership skills and we learn how to apply them to our lives by empowering future leaders of today. Moses not only gave certain delegates authority but he allowed them to make decisions in the best interest of the people. These leaders under Moses not only seeked God for their direction but they taught us the importance of Godly council and they assumed responsibility for their actions.

 Where the disconnect has taken place in todays time is where many men have forgotten to how stand togther in the unity of God with accountability between one another. Instead of taking responsibility for our actions or standing with each other many individuals have forgotten about what it means to be loyal to God in properly serving each other. For where there is no honor within our word there is no stability within our foundation.

 Learning to empower future leaders by giving them the responsibility to make decisions not only displays our maturity in Christ but it teaches the upcoming generation how to build upon the foundation which has already been established. Too many times we cause our foundation to crack simply because we forget the real reason that we are here and what holds us all together. 

 As a leader where ever we are it is vital that we open up our eyes to the next generation and learn to train our future leaders as we learn to walk beside them and be behind them as they learn to walk on their own. For if all we do is hold their hands and not allow them to learn for themselves under God then how can we honestly expect them to ever stand on their own when we have to move on?

 We all have a responsibility under God as leaders and it starts first within ourselves and within our very home. We have a responsibility under God as parents to set good examples in faith with our children and teach them how to make Godly decisions without allowing the world to guide their actions. Unless we teach this in our very homes then how can we honestly expect them to empower the future leaders of tomorrow? Leadership is not only about making good decisions but is about training the next generation…

Poor Leadership Curses The People

April 16, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is evident in today’s time of the curses that take place due to leadership that does not follow God’s instruction. One of the most vital parts of a true leader is one that seeks God’s instruction and learns to apply it while being alert to the gifts of the next generation. When we fail to recognize the talents of others and neglect our responsibility as a leader to help someone else develop the gifts that God has given is when we are destined for stagnant growth and deterioration.

 Throughout the Word of God He gives us the instruction of how to not only maintain our homes, our jobs, our churches, our communities, and our nation He also gives us the instruction to live with a purpose in life. We often lose sight of this purpose due to judgement, pressures or temptations from the world and this poor leadership leads to discipline back upon the people.

 Why should we expect our children to have security if we are not following God’s instruction and adhering to His Word? How can we honestly expect the next generation to find direction if we are not teaching them who shows us the Way? Another sad part is how stagnant we have become in creativity due to our drift away from the Creator. The further we drift away from God the further we will fall and the harder it will be on the next generation. 

 This has been proven throughout history and until we learn how to recognize this truth then we are only neglecting the evidence that is right before us. The question that we should be asking is this,”Are we listening for God or are we listening to man?” Too many times we allow positions of leadership to be filled with individuals that are out of position due to seeking the desires of man instead of the ones with the heart for the position in properly serving the people.

 Learning how to let go and simply trust in God can be an excruciating process but is very rewarding as we begin to see the hand of God at work. If we are not teaching our children how to trust in the Lord through our words and actions then how can we honestly expect them to do the same? In trusting the Lord it is vital that we teach our children how to recognize the God given gifts of others to help edify the Kingdom of God and maintain the liberty that we have been given. It is my prayer that we learn to put aside our differences and begin to recognize the gifts within God’s children to help carry us forward.

 For when something is of God there is no weight, no burden nor struggle. The work is not looked upon as work with dread but with a zeal in working unto the Lord instead of man. For their is a joy that only comes from God that uplifts our relationships as we begin to have unity within the body to serve His purpose instead of our own…

 Psalm 146:3 ‘Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help’.

Repentance Brings Restoration

March 5, 2011 by admin 2 Comments

   Throughout the Instruction of God that was delivered through Moses to help us and guide us to reach the promises of our Father in Heaven above we learn how to maintain what we have been given by God and how to keep our perspective without allowing the things of this world to knock us off course. Without our foundation being anchored by God our homes and our nation are vulnerable to the spiritual snares and traps of  Satan.

 It is easy to see how America has lost it’s flame that it once carried due to separating itself from the Eternal source. Fortunately there are still some coals where the fire once burned. If we do not learn how to come together without division and learn how to serve with order then we might as well prepare for what is sure to come. There is a much higher purpose in why we are here and if we do not repent as a nation for our national sin then we will only continue to deteriate from within.

 Judgement is upon us due to our disobedience as a nation and there is a spirit of Pharisee that is blinding our leaders and suppressing the spirit of God! This suppression is soon to be overcome because man is no match for our living God! Once this fresh anointing reaches the coals and the embers begin to unite is when the spiritual revival will ignite!

 Without our nation returning to God with repentance and turning from our evil ways America’s days are numbered. The only Way for us to be restored is to return to God and to begin to address the roots of our problems for our countries future. The longer we avoid this Truth the further we will fall and the chances of recovery will be slim to none. 

 It is easy to patch our problems with money or with fake smiles but until we learn to face the Truth and trust in God for our answers then we are only fooling ourselves in the spiritual snares of Satan. The answers to our problems are simple and the only reason they get complexed is because we try to fix them without seriously addressing them! Sometimes in life we have to just cut to the bone in love in order to get rid of the infection. Once the infection is addressed it is our place to allow God to do the healing as we take heed to His Word.

 The time is right before us and it is my sincere prayer that every reader grabs hold of this message and helps spread the fire in God’s Word! The fire of God does not burn the bush to ashes but it shows us how He is the One that keeps us alive and carries us forward….Amen

 Therefore take careful heed to yourselves, that you love the LORD your God.  Or else, if indeed you do go back, and cling to the remnant of these nations—these that remain among you—and make marriages with them, and go in to them and they to you,  know for certain that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. But they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the LORD your God has given you. Joshua 23

America Needs To Face The Truth…

February 19, 2011 by admin 6 Comments

  Like Israel’s history The United States of America is at a point of moral failure and close to collapse due to our disobedience in serving the will of God. Throughout history the facts are before us in what happens when we drift away from the Lord in our homes and in our nations. It is evident today of what is sure to come due to this disobedience and the actions of the people that are rioting around the world.

 There is a fire burning in the Lord’s anger towards our disobedience and if we do not begin to face the truth in what is right before us and humble ourselves in repentance then we should prepare for what is sure to come. Without Godly leadership in our homes and in our nation this brings on rebellion and disorder due to the oppression upon the people and due to the lack of understanding in the Word of God.

 There is complete chaos without Godly council and leadership in place and this is evident in what just happened in Egypt and how the journalist from America were beaten and even raped. How blind are we in America? How far must we fall into the pit before we accept the truth in what is taking place in foreign nations and here in the United States of America? For this battle is not against flesh and blood it against spiritual principalities and powers beyond our human comprehension. 

 This lack of spiritual understanding led naive journalist right into something that they can’t even understand in thinking that they are the ones under attack. How ignorant do we have to become before we see that without the hand of God protecting us that there is no safety wherever we travel. The Lord gives us the wisdom to understand what we are up against and He will protect us in our obedience to His Word. Don’t be naive and think that we can do this on our own for the Lord will soon show us just how weak we are as we drift too far.

 Study history and the book of Judges to see the rise and fall of Jerusalem to see for yourself why they fell and how they stood again. Do we have to repeat this cycle of history once again here in America or is there still time to salvage where we are for our children’s future? Only God knows this answer and it is up to how we return to Him in how He will bless us again with the freedom between our family and friends.

 America is not indestructible and in fact it is very vulnerable today due to the lack of Godly direction in our leadership and the lack of self discipline that is being displayed throughout our country. Our homes are not safe without the hand of God upon us and it is my sincere prayer that America begins to Wake Up to this truth that is being directed by the Lord.

 The reason for such spiritual oppression here in America is simply because of our lack of understanding of the importance of discipline and compassion to maintain the balance and order of this country. One without the other allows Satan to spiritually rob us of our freedom in our homes and in our nation. There is a time for compassion and a time for discipline and when we allow our compassion to over take the discipline is when we are setting ourselves up for complacency and the acceptance of things that are simply not right by God!

  Look at what is taking place in Wisconsin as we speak in the lack of order and direction from the leadership between the leaders and the people. The ones on the top don’t want to make their own sacrifice while looking for ways to cut the ones on the bottom. The problem is elevating due due to the lack of Godly council to maintain order and the the lack of Godly wisdom being displayed in leadership to work through the issues that they have at hand. This same issue that is taking place in Wisconsin is headed for each and every state here in The United States of America like a domino affect from one domino to the next.

 The problem is obvious but no one wants to face the truth due to trying to avoid something that is sure to come in facing reality. The truth hurts when we have to open ourselves up and when we have to make decisions that affect others but if we don’t Wake Up to this truth then prepare for things to only get worse! There is nothing worse than avoiding the truth in survival and murdering innocent victims due to our pride that causes us to try and fix things within our own power. We have no power and are hopeless without God and until America Wakes Up and faces the  truth the fall will only get worse in our homes and in our nation….How far must we fall before we realize who holds us up???
