School Of Experience…

by Leave a Comment

 When calamity forces you to examine your life take a close look at God’s instructions and be willing to humbly apply what you find there.  To fail to learn from our failure is to assure future failure and our past can be a school of experience. For we will find that our past mistakes will point us to God’s way and we will discover God’s peace when we truly learn to stop and listen…amen

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. Isaiah 55:8

Seeds Of Sin…

by Leave a Comment

 Throughout the Word of God we learn of heartaches and hardships that develop in our lives simply due to not addressing the roots of sin. The longer we allow sin to grow it not only affects  our life but it also has a negative affect on others. Many people overlook how their sin impacts someone elses’ life due to caring more about themselves instead of properly loving thy neighbor.

 It is very easy to allow Satan to spiritually consume us and the Lord taught us this message with Cain from the beginning of time. For in Genesis 4 the Lord said to Cain,“Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”

 When we allow a seed of sin to enter our lives without addressing it immediately then we are allowing that seed to grow roots that will continue to grow out of control. This is why God’s Word tells us in Ephesians 4,”Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” It is my prayer that we don’t allow a seed of sin or lack of faith to rob someone else of their joy…amen

Can You Imagine?

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever experienced the love of a child trying to please you as a mother or a father? Has your heart ever gleemed in that moment to the point that you can still recall it today? As a child, can you recall a time that you tried to please your parents or someone you looked up to out of love? These moments of our hearts glowing are gifts from Heaven. They shine ever so bright due to the obedience of a child.

 Now, I want you to go further with me in this. Can you imagine our Father’s heart in Heaven how bright it must be when His children serve within the love of Christ that has set us free? Can you imagine how bright His light would shine? Can you imagine a heart without any darkness? Can you imagine the feeling of knowing that your Father’s arms are around you in spite of what you face or where you have been? 

 Always know that our Heavenly Father is watching and you will be amazed at what you receive when you begin to serve and obey…I Can Only Imagine

Unity Requires Trust

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever really considered the lesson of Joshua and Caleb when they were ready to go forward into the Promised Land but the others on their team being the Israelites lacked faith in God because they could not take their eyes off of man? Think about it! If you have a team that carries specific talents and they are in their positions but fail to trust in one another then how far do you honestly expect the team to go? Could you see that the team would lack harmony due to their lack of unity?

 This same principle applies in our homes, our careers and in the church. For without trust their is a constant battle for the ball and this causes many people to miss the ones that have received God’s call. It is vital to understand that we all drop the ball from time to time but what matters is how we pick the ball back up and get back in the game!

The Trickery of Satan

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever been at a point where you felt as if you could not trust someone and that you had to watch every move they made? Did you ever feel like if you missed something that it would be the very moment that something might take place? Spiritually Satan works in our minds with distrust because he knows how it can rob us and in-prison our spiritual being.

 When we have lack of trust this displays our spiritual immaturity and it can lead to a controlling spirit. Within this controlling spirit Satan will try to misguide us in our  human efforts instead of understanding the true meaning of love.If you are holding on to something in distrust then you are allowing Satan to spiritually rob you of the blessings that could be right around the corner.

  Jesus knew that Judas was a thief and Jesus knew that Peter would deny Him but did He allow this to detour His love or distract Him from the mission? Jesus plainly taught us Psalm 118:8 in placing our trust in God instead of placing confidence in man. When we learn how to place our trust in God is when the Lord will bring down the spiritual walls of Satan that restrict us from the blessings of God….

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…
