Don’t Close Your Door…

by Leave a Comment

 When we have been given something by God then we are to never give up or waver on what we know in our heart to be true. It is very easy to give up on something or someone and close the door when we feel there is no use. But since when did our Father in Heaven close the door on us? What does this teach our children when we don’t give our all in everything we do or lead by proper example?

  1 Corinthians 13  “Love is patient and kind. Love is never jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love Never Gives Up, Never Loses Faith, Is Always Hopeful, and Endures Through Every Circumstance.

 There is always a way when we look for the light, but it is when we fall to the darkness of this fallen world that we become blind in our path. We might not always get what we want when we want it but we must always have faith in the love that we know in our heart. It is our duty as a true Christian to never give up and be an example for others in everything we do to allow the love of Jesus to shine through.

 Sometimes in life we have to set something free to allow it to come back again, and if it returns then we know it was meant to be. Lets praise God today for never closing the door on each of us and sending us His only Son Jesus Christ to show us the Way to live again…amen

Freedom With God…

by Leave a Comment

 One of the hardest parts in life is learning when to let go and allow God to be fully in control. There is freedom beyond comprehension when we learn to trust in God and allow Him to bring things together. It is in our human nature to hang on to what we see but there must come a point that we learn how to properly believe.

 It is when we learn to trust in God and put Jesus in front of everything we do that our walk of life will improve and we will have peace in our struggles. Do you know how to trust in God today? Or, are you making decisions being totally reliant on yourself or on someone else’s instruction? It is wise to consult with another believer that has experience to help you through but never make a decision without seeking God first in everything you do…amen

Make Decisions In Faith Not Fear…

by Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in life to make a wrong decision when we allow our pressures or our emotions to control our actions. Over the years of drifting away from the true Word of God many people have forgotten how to trust in the Lord and have taken matters into their own hands. When we act on our emotions without trusting in God then there is always some consequences to follow. This was taught throughout the Holy Bible, and many of us can relate to this same message today.

 Whenever we make decisions we should first seek God for our direction and consult with wise council to give confirmation of the steps that we are about to make. Never should we allow fear to drive our decisions, for then we are allowing Satan to spiritually control our actions. I challenge you today and every other day to seek God first before you act, and learn to trust in Him for the direction you need to take. For when the Lord brings something together, no man can take it apart…amen

Stay In Balance…

by Leave a Comment

 In life it is very easy to become blind when we have the eyes to see, and it is also very easy to become deaf when we have the ears to hear… Everyday we are faced with different trials, different objectives and different circumstances  that  can cause us to be imprisoned within our own life instead of enjoying the freedom that we have in the spirit of God through Jesus Christ.

 When we become so busy or so focused on our own objectives that we can’t hear or see the love and the needs that are all around us, then we need to take a step back in order to maintain our balance in life. It is Satan’s goal to restrict us to the point that we can’t see past our own lives to the lives of others, and when we become so wrapped up in ourselves then we are being robbed of the love that needs to be shared.

  Life is not about what we want or what we gain in this world as Adam displayed in the Garden of Eden, but about what Jesus taught us in how we are to live in the freedom which God has given and how to help others along the way. We all have our own issues and go through different trials in life in order to learn how to help someone else in theirs. I challenge you today and every other day to not be so consumed in your life that you can’t help or encourage someone else in theirs. We never know what that one word of encouragement can do for someone else when we allow the love of Jesus to shine through…amen

Thank God For The USA…

by Leave a Comment

 I thank God today for giving us life and the freedom which we still have here in America today. Did you know that 52 of the 55 signers of The Declaration of Independence were deeply committed Christians? The other  three all believed in the Holy Bible as the divine truth, the God of scripture, and His personal intervention. It was also the same congress that formed the American Bible Society and immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence , the Continental Congress voted to purchase and import 20,000 copies of scripture for the people of this nation.

 Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote on the front of his Holy Bible,” I am a Christian, that is to say a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our Creator and, I hope, to the pure doctrine of Jesus also.”

 Here is a little more history for this day of Thanksgiving of our first Court Justice here in the United States of America, John Jay. He stated,” That when we select our national leaders, if we are to preserve our Nation, we must select Christians. Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian Nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”

 There is no doubt of our Christian heritage here in America with how our ancestors truly demonstrated the meaning of Matthew 16 when they left Great Britain to form this beautiful nation and we all need to come together again under God for our children’s future. I praise God today for His “Amazing Grace” in giving us such a beautiful place to live and having the freedom to worship our savior Jesus Christ. May God bless you and your family today and let’s join together in praying for God’s mercy and direction for our country’s future … 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…
