Share The Love of Jesus

by Leave a Comment

 It is very depressing to look at all the negativity that is taking place here in America and even in our adjoining countries. Everyday we hear something negative and see how Satan is spiritually destroying many lives all around us, but this is a prime time to be sharing the hope in Jesus Christ in teaching those that are lost how to follow God instead of falling to Satan.

 This is not a time for Christians to fall weak and be backed into a corner without speaking the Truth in the Word of God!!! If we want this country of the United States of America to improve from our current situation then we must Stand Up for what is right by God and share the love of Jesus in all the darkness that we see!

  All it takes is a little light to penetrate the dark room of someones lost soul, and you never know how that seed can spread from one person to the next. It is vital to remember that when we fail to keep God in front of our circumstances, and act in the flesh then evil will feed evil and that is all that Satan wants. Because in hell fire feeds fire and in Heaven love feeds love. 

 I don’t know about you or where you may be, but I believe God gave us ,the gentiles, America as He gave the people of Israel Jerusalem not only to be free but to help others that are in need! It is time that we Americans Wake Up and take care of our homes in order to restore what has been lost in the Hope and direction that God provides!  I challenge you today and every other day to add the love of Jesus in every aspect of your life in helping push back the darkness of this world. One candle can only put out so much light, but it is when we join our candles together that the light of Jesus will shine so bright…amen

Be A Doer Not Just A Hearer…

by Leave a Comment

 Good morning,

 I greet you in the name of the Lord and our savior Jesus Christ. This morning I would like to share with you something a little different than before in a brief testimony in how my life has changed. Over the years I heard the Word of God spoken and even played the roll of calling myself a Christian when I (thought) that I knew Jesus when I really did not understand His purpose in life.

 It is very easy to call ourselves a Christian to fit into the community because this is what we must do to be accepted in our society that we live in, or to call ourselves a Christain when we don’t want to listen to someone trying to tell us about God because we don’t want to hear how we are accountable for our actions. There was a time that I played church on one side, but something totally different on the other. In this recognition of my previous life I now see how to properly believe because it is not about trying to walk on water , but it’s how we walk on land.

 I just want to tell you today how I praise God for sending His Son Jesus Christ to show us the way back home!!! I was so lost but now I am found!!! Jesus has delivered me from all my hurt and all my shame. The beautiful thing about God our Father in Heaven is that He loves us each of us so much that He never gives up on us even when we are deep in the darkness and not properly living in the light which is given through Jesus Christ. I say all of this to you this morning in hopes that you will praise God with me, for as I write these words in God’s great mercy I have tears of praise in giving God all glory from delivering me from my pain…

 Never give up or lose hope on the love that you seek even when life seems so dark and bleek. Because all you have to do is listen to that gentle whisper in your heart in allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you back home. What is home some may ask, and I would like to tell you what home is to me now that I have been set free,” Home is a place of security and strength in thy Father’s arms and filled with motherly love that is given through Jesus Christ in always being their even when we fall. Home is also a place we share meals together and laugh with one another in just being who we are instead of acting like something that we are not.”

 Life is a journey that we are to learn from and to teach our children how to carry on even when we are gone. If there is anything that I can ever say to you, I pray that you praise God with me and join together in being a doer and not just a hearer. God is real and Jesus is the Son, and I want you to remember that our walk and even our talk does matter in everything we do. So with all of this being said this morning, I challenge you today and every other day to make a positive difference and never lose hope in the darkness of this world  because when we learn to trust in God all things work together for the good…amen

A Brother In Christ & Servant To The Lord,

How To Not Fall Into Depression

by Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in life to fall into a box of soclusion when we don’t want to face the facts or see what is really taking place as the world turns all around us. In the medical field they call this soclusion a form of depression. But  the fact is that depression is nothing but allowing Satan to rob us of the strength and direction that God gives when we trust in Him rather than falling deeper into our issues in life.

 Spiritually satan wants us to fall into despair because he knows that when we open that door in our minds that many don’t know how to close it without being consumed by their issues in life. Life is a beautiful thing when we learn how to open and close the door in addressing our issues and not allowing Satan to spiritually rob us of the joys we have in life with Jesus Christ. 

 When you look at your issues in life think of them as a song being played in the background. How can you truly listen to the words of more than one song at a time? Whether you are not facing issues in just trying to reach certain goals or you are going through difficult times in life, always remember how to open and close the door to focus on the music which you have before you. As the Lord teaches us in Matthew 6:24 ” No one can serve two masters,” and when we allow our goals or circumstances to control us then how can we honestly stay in tune with God?

 I challenge you today and every other day to mentally train yourself to focus on what you have before you in one segment at a time. By following this simple principle in life which was originally taught to us through Jesus Christ then we will not be robbed of the joy that we carry. It helps to departmentalize each area of our life so we can break it down to set up positive goals to not only improve our life but to be able to maintain what we have been given through the love of Jesus Christ…amen

Make A Positive Difference…

by Leave a Comment

 How many times have you struggled to improve something or make a difference in your life that will in turn make a difference in someone elses? Why is it that we allow ourselves to be robbed of doing something when we know in our hearts that it could be better for not only ourselves but for those around us?

It is so easy to leave something up to someone else and not do it ourselves because we may feel there is no hope or it is too much work to be done, and this thought process is so wrong! When we fall to this negative thinking what do you see this teaching to our children and to those all around us? We must remember in the body that all parts are to work together as one in the direction of God through Jesus Christ .

All we have to do is learn to take that first step in faith within the will of God and do the work that the Lord has put before us to make a difference in our lives that will in turn make a difference in someone else’s.

 I challenge you today and every other day to commit yourself in making a positive difference that will improve something in your life and teach others how to never lose the seed of love that we carry in Jesus Christ. It is easy to wait on someone else to do something, but have you ever thought that the other person may be waiting on you?

 We all wait on something and timing is important, but this is no excuse to never share or do what we know in our hearts to be true…amen

Real Change…

by Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in life to say we are going to change or correct a problem but the question is, “Do our actions follow our words?”

 There is only one way to change or correct a problem and that is to get to the roots at the bottom and then work our way back up to the top! If we only work on the top without properly addressing the bottom then the change is only superficial because it will only last so long before the infected roots on the inside will consume that which is on the outside.

 We can speak change all day long but if we are not willing to do the work it takes to correct our issues in life then prepare for the change to only last so long before the fall. I challenge you today and every other day to make positive changes no matter the work it takes that will in turn make something better for our children of the 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…
