Heart Of A Child…

August 23, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever thought in depth of what Jesus meant when He said to the disciples,”Anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it?” As we grow older and become more set in our ways we often fall into judgment not applying the Word of God to our thoughts and actions. Another dangerous area that we can fall into is our dependency upon what the world has to offer instead of simply being dependent upon God. 

 Jesus does not ask us to put aside our experiences but He does require a change of attitude. For children do not feel supremely powerful or perfectly righteous. These are adult fantasies. Coming to Jesus means to accept His goodness on our behalf with a confession of our need and with a commitment to His tender guidance that shows us the Way…

Are You Ready To Live?

August 22, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

If the Lord was to call you home in this very moment of reading this message would you honestly be ready to go? Or, would there be some last minute things to take care of before you could part? Would you be torn in your decision to depart due to some others that could be left behind?

We never know the day nor the hour that God may call us home and with this being said it would be wise to be ready with no unspoken words to those you love. Learning to live day by day teaches us how to make the most out each day without any regretts and it teaches us to appreciate  the time we have before it is time to go.

May I strongly encourage you this morning to look into the mirror of God to insure that there is nothing holding you back and to insure that you are ready to go. For if we never learn how to die in the flesh then we never learn how to live in the spirit…

Jesus tells us in Luke 17:33 “If you cling to your life , you will lose it and if you let your life go you will save it.”

A Home Built In Love…

August 19, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

In order to build a home and for our homes to stand it is vital that we understand what holds it all together. For a home that is not built on the principles of God and upon a solid foundation is a home that is destined to fall. What is it that holds us all together? Have you ever considered where we would be without the love of Jesus who set us free? Have you ever thought about how empty our lives would be without the love of God holding us all together and giving us the strength to stand?

Within every word and action we make they should be driven out of the nails of love. For a nail that is driven outside of love is a nail that will never hold and what good is a home if we never learn how to build or stand? I challenge you this morning to examine your words and actions to see whom they serve in order to insure that your home is being built on a solid foundation with rooms to help others along the Way…

Running On Emotions…

August 18, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Imagine yourself walking on a 2×4 wall that is stood up 12 feet in the air. The wind is blowing and the skies are clear and you know that in every step God is near. Now as you are walking this wall that is part of a home that is being built can you imagine what would happen if you got caught up in your emotions and took your eyes off of the 2×4 wall that you are walking?

Can you see the importance of maintaining your focus in order to maintain your balance? What would happen if you froze up on the wall? Learning to trust God and not act in our emotions is vital to maintain the integrity within our homes and to help others learn how to trust within God. This lesson is taught in the book of Joshua from the fall of Jericho to the defeat in Ai as the Israelites acted on their emotions before insuring their steps with God. Within this lesson God is teaching us in the spirit how to walk the narrow road with Him in order for our homes to stand and to maintain our balance within this foreign land..

Blueprint…

August 17, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever considered the purpose of a set of blue prints before you begin to build a home? Can you see a costly issue without a set of drawings? How about the importance of having the skills for the trade and the proper tradesman to assist as you need? Without the skills can you possibly see some costly lessons that will be learned along the Way? Have you ever considered the most important part of the construction within your home?

Without the proper foundation that is fastened to the rock then every other home will struggle to stand and is destined to fall. Many people in life and even myself at one time try to build something without the proper understanding and before we were mature enough to maintain. The world likes to speed things up where God wants us to stay in tune as we continue to apply the blueprints of instruction in His Word to our lives in order to balance our homes.

For every nail that is driven are nails that hold it all together in love…Without the nails we only fall apart as the winds of sin begin to blow…

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…
