Spiritual Warfare…

February 8, 2012 by admin 6 Comments

The devil works in many ways to break the relationships of God because he knows there is a mighty power as we come together in the body of Christ. For example: The first stage of spiritual warfare is to do everything possible to prevent something of God from joining together as one. This occurs through distractions and distrust in order to wear down the opponent. The second stage after the formation is to pick apart the opposition in order to weaken the unity within the body. The third stage of spiritual warfare occurs by picking apart the team leaders in order to cause loss of direction in the mission and to disperse a spirit of doubt or disbelief within the body.

This principle of spiritual warfare occurs in our homes, our churches, our businesses and our nation. For our homes are only as strong as our relationships and without a relationship we have no home. For our refuge is in the Lord and everything can be worked out at the foot of the cross with those that seek the will of our Father instead of the will of man…

May I challenge you today to strengthen your relationships through communication and to cast out anything of the devil that may be hindering you from experiencing the true love of Jesus within the family of God…

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12

Affective Prayer…

January 29, 2012 by admin Leave a Comment

There are several ingredients that make up affective prayer.  Think about it! Have you ever tried to bake a cake without mixing the batter? Have you ever tried to substitute something artificial in place of something real? Or, have you ever left something out due to thinking it was not needed? In order for our prayers to be affective it is wise to examine the sincerity of our hearts along with understanding of our motives. Sometimes we ask God to do things when He is simply waiting on us to take that step in faith.

Faith can not be activated without a step as we learn this very lesson with the servant of Abraham as he prayed to the Lord of his master prior to meeting the wife of Isaac. After he prayed he then got up and went to her which then activated the outcome of his prayer. He knew what he had prayed and did not go to her while flaunting this in her face but he allowed God to guide the steps as he displayed obedience to the Lord of his master.

There are times when we are to simply pray for those that we can not reach but when God has us in a place that we can be affective in our obedience then we are to take those directed steps in faith. The object is to recognize the balanced skills required of when to step and when not to step. This is how we recognize the doors that open and the doors that shut. For why would we ever expect to receive if we are not willing to knock?

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” Matthew 7:7

The Value Of One

December 30, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

It is very easy to get wrapped up in the numbers that we forget the value of One. Spiritually Satan wants us to focus on the quantity where God wants us to focus on the Quality. Satan leads unbalanced production where God leads a Balanced Life with Quality production. For how we handle the value of one often displays in whom or what we serve…amen

God’s Value In Time…

December 29, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

If we put a value on our time then what value do we see in Gods Time? If we desire the most value for the time we give then shouldn’t we put a higher value on the time that we have received? There is a value for the Life we have and it is a price that we could not afford. The price has already been paid and it is now up to us to make the most of His return. For the time we have is a gift and the only value we have is the Lords…amen

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

Do You Have Room For Jesus?

December 25, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

On the night before Jesus was born Mary and Joseph were seeking a room but were unable to find. Her pregnancy was evident to others that saw and her pains were deep this night which she knew there was no time for sleep.

It was on this night in the least of all towns that our Saviour was born who now reigns with a crown. He was born in a manger and then as He matured many treated Him like a complete stranger. This is the message that God wanted us to see as He walked this earth in how we are to love and to always believe. There is much more to life than what meets the eye and it is vital that we keep our focus on the Heavenly skies.

We never know the day nor the hour but one thing we do know is the Truth that now lives within. This Truth which Jesus that we now know as our friend….Praise God for this birth and this day that we are to recall for there is great Victory in Jesus that saves us from the eternal fall….amen

Do you have room for Jesus today? Or, is your schedule too full? For there is nothing like receiving the seed of Truth and it birthing into the maturity of Jesus Christ. May your home be filled with love in the air and I pray that you share the love of God everywhere…

Merry Christmas

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…
