A Divine Appointment…

February 4, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Did you know that everyday that we are given there is a test that is placed right before us? This test is given to see how well we will follow and how well we will serve. Test come in many different ways from the way we take care of ourselves, to the way we treat others, to the way we act in negative circumstances, to the way we conduct business, to the way we handle our temptations, to the way we handle our responsibilities, to the way we handle our pressures, to the way we handle our confrontations, and just simply to see how well we will serve.

 This life is no joke! We are accountable to God for every action that we take! Every word that comes out of our mouth and every action that we make is being recorded by the Supreme Judge in Heaven above. In order to improve our walk and to grow stronger in faith we should look at every person we meet as a Divine appointment to hear what needs to be heard or to help those that are in need. We all face different types of tests and I challenge you today and every other day to look at everything as something that God has put before you to help insure your steps in the future…amen

Money Without Division…

January 21, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

  In the book of Genesis 23 Abraham was negotiating to buy a cave to bury his wife Sarah. The man which Abraham was negotiating with knew that he was a man of God and offered Abraham the cave at no charge. Both of these men handled this matter with wisdom and respect. Abraham did not try to buy this cave for less nor did the man elevate his price even though he knew that Abraham could afford to pay whatever price he set.

 Not only do we learn proper ethics in this message we also learn how a true friend offers to help Abraham in his time of need without allowing money to come in between their friendship. In verse 14 Ephron answered Abraham in saying, “What is money among friends?”

 It is sad to see today how so many have allowed money to cause divisions within our homes, our churches and even our relationships.  There is no figure that we can place on our true friendships nor is there any dollar amount that is worth causing a division within the love of the family. It is imperative to recall how God is our provider and it is our responsibility to serve God in everything that we have been entrusted with. 

 I challenge you today to never allow money to come in between the love that God has given and learn to trust in the Lord for the right things to be done in His timing and not in ours…amen

Stay Encouraged & Uplift Others…

January 8, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 So many times in life we become drained of our drive or become depressed because we rely on own strengths instead of learning to rely on the spiritual strength that God can give us when we trust in Him. In Nehemiah 8 the Lord says, ” Be not grieved or depressed, for the joy of the Lord is our strength and stronghold.”

 It is important to recognize how Satan wants to steal our joy because he knows that we gain strength when we have joy in our hearts. He wants us to be weak so that we will become vulnerable to the point that we will grab hold of whatever he puts before us. This is why it is vital to stay close in the Word of God and learn to trust in Him along the Way.

 Some days God will send us messengers to build us up in faith and to lift our spirits when we are feeling weak. And there are other days that He may send someone else in our path for us to encourage them when they are in need. I challenge you today and every other day to be strong in the Lord and to share the joy that God gives with others in your your path. It is our duty as a Christian to be an example in everything we do and allow the Lord’s light to shine through…amen

Honor Your Choices In Life…

January 5, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 God gives each of us choices everyday to make and we all have made wrong decisions in life. Some of our wrong decisions may have even caused us pain but they can help us learn to make better decisions in the future. Living with the consequences of our choices does not mean that we walk around unhappy or complaining but they teach us to think and choose more carefully as we go further in life. Not only will they help us to grow but when we accept our responsibilities for our actions then we are to lead by example in teaching others to be wise in their steps to insure something of God and not of Satan.

 Not all opportunities are of God! Many are of Satan to distract us from our commitments and to detour us from the path we are on. God wants us to honor our commitments and stay focused in life where Satan wants us to look at everything else instead of what we already have. It is Satan’s objective to make something look good at first but what we must recall is what Jesus taught us in the wilderness when tempted by Satan. Our Lord and Saviour taught us to look beyond our immediate desires to insure the future outcome, and if the future outcome can separate us from what we have then it is best to stay where we are .

 For what may look good now might not be good for later, and when we base our decisions thinking of only ourselves then we need to reevaluate the situation. This life is of learning to honor our commitments and putting our desires behind others to help teach our children a better way of life through the love of Jesus Christ.

  I challenge you today and every other day to grab hold in your commitments and do what it takes in love to see them through. Don’t allow Satan to distract you from what you have been given and chase the wind of this worldly sin. For there is honor when we accept our decisions and learn to walk on in life through the love of Jesus Christ…amen

President Obamas Misguidance

September 5, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 Over the past several months since President Obama has taken office America has encountered numerous issues with how our country is being led. Not only has this misguidance  affected America and other countries around the world the part that hurts me the most is how he is misguiding our children.

  No matter what we try to patch with money until we learn to get to the roots of the issue we will never correct the problem! As a leader in politics it is not our place to influence someone else’s children, but to do our jobs for what is right for the people. We have been given the Word of God and the church to teach our children morals and respect in loving one another through every circumstance in life which strengthens our homes for our children’s future.

 It is a leaders position to be an example in all situations while respecting each parent to do their job in properly raising their children. When a leader takes a position he must understand that there are some things he must sacrifice due to the influence it will have on those that are looking up to them and understanding that he or she is setting an example for our future leaders. In every position there is a certain amount of freedom with discipline that is required in recognizing  that due to our position we are not to go outside certain boundaries due to the negative affects that will follow and this is what every true leader should understand. There is to be order for the people which gives honor and security within our homes while holding ourselves accountable under God for what we have been given.

 Until this country returns to God and our leaders begin to acknowledge our Creator as our founding fathers did in the Declaration of Independence then this country is going to continue to fall into worse conditions due to our human pride in not accepting how we are all accountable for how we give back in what we have been given.

 America as a body has forgotten how to give as Abel in the book of Genesis in giving our best in what we have been given. As Cain, America as a whole has held on to the best for themselves in only giving what they want verses understanding how to give our all. Until America returns to its foundation under God and begins to work in serving one another verses ourselves then we will not see real change in America! Until then as our leaders continue to patch our problems while storing up the best for themselves then prepare for the blessings which was given to America to fade away. The Lord is calling and His children are crying and until we Wake Up the further America will drift out to sea…

 It is my sincere prayer that President Obama and every other leader begins to recognize the Truth in what is taking place in our government in order to stand again in rebuilding strength for our children’s future. We all make mistakes at times and don’t recognize how we are affecting others in our decisions, but all that matters is how we correct ourselves in order to set the right examples for the future generations. Our God is a merciful God that only wants us to recognize our position while seeking Him for the direction of our future…Amen

James Harrison

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…
