Trust God For The Outcome

by Leave a Comment

 One of the most difficult things in life is how to not allow Satan to spiritually affect our day and throw us off coarse. The Lord gives us our direction and He wants us to act in love in everything we do to not allow Satan to rob us of the joy that we carry. We all get hit from all different directions and some of us even stumble or fall but this is no time ever quit!!!

 There will be times in life that we can’t see and there will be times in life that we will want to give up because we feel as there is no use to carry on. This is where we must learn to trust in God because sometimes we have to let go in order to receive. God is at work in every circumstance and it is important for us to learn to trust Him instead of taking matters into our own hands. 

 Often we do more damage than we do good because we put ourselves in God’s position instead of acting in love and following His instruction. If something is not working and you feel that you just can’t carry on then I challenge you to turn it over to God and do the best with what you have been given. Because the longer we try to carry something then the longer it can be prolonged…amen

 So many times we get in the way when all we need to do is just sit back to allow God to work it all out…

Recognize Your Spiritual Opponent

by Leave a Comment

 Spiritually Satan attacks us in our minds and through all types of things in this world. The object is to have the discernment in the spirit to recognize when something is of Satan to help us when we are being attacked and to help us prevent something from possibly holding us back. Learning when to move and when not is a very important part in life because Satan wants us to act in our emotions without properly thinking things through. Satan uses all kinds of tools to distract us away from the Lord but it is our place to develop the wisdom in the Word of God to help us better understand our opponent. 

 Have you ever acted on impulse and done something that you later regretted? We all do this from time to time when we act in our emotions and don’t seek God’s instruction to look beyond the immediate to help us in the future. It is very wise to understand the affects of our emotions before we act and learn to let go of our personal desires to allow the Holy Spirit to show us the proper Way. I challenge you today to take heed to God’s Word before you act in your emotions and learn to trust God for the outcome…amen

 What we think we want in the immediate may not always be what we may desire in the future…

Don’t Be Held Back Spiritually By Satan

by 2 Comments

 Our vision is limited and sometimes even lost when we focus on ourselves instead of looking to God for our direction and placing other people in front of our own desires. It is very easy to become trapped in our circumstances when we allow Satan to spiritually restrict our vision by placing our eyes upon the things of this world  instead of what God has in store for us in the next life to come. Spiritually Satan wants us to waller in our hurts and pains instead of learning to grow stronger and allowing the Holy Spirit to show us the direction that we are to follow.

 Sometimes we need true friends just to give us a good kick in the rear when we are allowing Satan to spiritually hold us down. This example was taught to us with King David in 2 Samuel after he had fallen to sin and after he had lost his son. He was hurt and falling into depression because he simply allowed Satan to spiritually hold him down. Sometimes we all have to receive that loving kick in the rear from our true friends to help us when all we can do is complain or frown.

  When we take our eyes off of our self and begin to look upon the needs of others then God will open our eyes to see something that we have not seen before. So many times we slip in this area because we feel that we don’t have the time to encourage one another or we become too concerned of how someone is going to react to the truth that can set them free. While then there are those like Job’s friends who just want to sit around and tell us what we  might have done wrong instead of just helping us through. 

  As a true Christian it is our place be there for one another and simply speak the truth in love that someone might pick themselves up after a fall. The outcome of the truth once spoken is between God and that individual. It is our place to to surround them with love and always be there for when they may return. I challenge you today to not allow Satan to spiritually hold you down and allow the love of Jesus to get you through. For there is nothing too hard for the Lord and all we have to do is put our trust in Him instead of putting our confidence in man…amen

How To Climb The Mountain With God

by Leave a Comment

 Sometimes our plans even the ones we think God has approved have to be put on hold and this is where so many get discouraged in their journey of life. If we were allowed to climb without understanding the steps then we could lose sight and eventually fall. How far we fall is detemined by our own level of faith and by how far (we) allow Satan to take us down. When the momentum of our climb reaches a certain plateau then it is very wise for us to use this waiting time to learn and prepare for what God may have in store for our future.

  The Lord allows us to climb in increments based upon our understanding and He allows some to reach the top to show us how they will fall when they don’t understand what it takes to maintain their position. We all stumble at times and some even fall but all that matters in the end is that we learn to seek God in the love of Jesus to give us back our wind. Life is a beautiful thing when we learn to commit ourselves in the climb on the mountain of God and when we learn to respect each parties position to reach higher levels than before. 

 It doesn’t matter what you have been through or what you are going through for there is always hope in every situation. Whether you have stumbled or fallen I challenge you to seek God for the strength that you need to pick yourself back up again and allow the love of Jesus to show you the Way…amen

 All things are possible through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13

Look For What God Wants In Your Life

by Leave a Comment

 Often we think that events just happen to us when we don’t understand the Word of God. The Lord uses common occurences to lead us where He wants and it is important for us to evaluate all situations as potential divine appointments that are designed to help shape our lives. Both our good and bad circumstances alike help build certain qualities in us that not only make us stronger and wiser but they lead us to serve God in new areas that we may never expect.

 One of the most beautiful things in life is when we begin to connect the dots as we mature to see what God has taught us and how He has brought us forward. We all face difficult times in life and go through things that we don’t understand but when we begin to look for what God wants in our life verses what we may desire then we are on the way to a new beginning.

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…
