Walk In The Light…

August 4, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever noticed that resistance often comes from fear and lack of faith? Think about it! Like learning to walk a tight rope and taking your first step. Within our bodies we can feel every muscle trying to lock up and if we are not careful our minds can be overcome with doubt. The only way to combat the resistance is with our belief and faith in God. For what God brings us to He will bring us through and the object is to recognize His desire for our lives instead of our own.

If God is for us who can be against us? Never give up on what you know in your heart and learn to trust in God as you learn to balance your life while being anchored to the cross of Jesus Christ. There is a time coming here in America and here now where the resistance of the darkness is going to intensify and the only way to combat the darkness is to turn on the light. Is your light on? Is your candle burning? It is wise to check the oil in the lamp to insure the capability of going the extra mile…

A Balanced Life…

August 3, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

In Luke 11 Jesus addresses a woman in the crowd who asked God to bless His mother Mary but Jesus replied saying,”But even more blessed are all who hear the Word of God and put it into practice.” Within this message of Christ He is teaching us a higher level of blessing and maturity with God. For Mary was only being obedient as she gave birth to Jesus and she recognized that her obedience brought the blessings. 

 When we learn to put into practice God’s Word and listen for His voice to guide our direction this is when we learn how to maintain our balance as we simply follow God’s commands. The Lord blesses us in many ways every single day that we are given and within this gift of the day we should be putting into practice God’s Word. He instructs us to be a light in the darkness for without the light how would we ever see the Way???

Judgement Is At Our Feet Here In America…

August 2, 2011 by admin 1 Comment

Recently the Lord gave me a powerful dream & understanding. This dream is one of many and will register in every believers spirit as they take the time to read. The dream started out with me walking up to a cattle gap that led to a pasture. As I walked up to the gap where the young calves were pushing against the fence and the gate I noticed another pasture that was adjacent to the one that contained all of the calves.

The field that was adjacent to the property that contained the young cattle was beautiful with rolling hills and meadows along with plenty of food to eat. The pasture in which the cattle now stood was flat and bare with a large home in the middle of the lot. The cattle were all one breed and as I stepped forward the gate opened automatically and the young calves began to walk out one by one. They first surrounded me with some nudging my side as they left the captivity they were in. There was no fear in the middle of all these calves and they appeared to be thankful and displayed this in their gentle nudges of love.

After surrounding me for a brief time the calves began to walk on and when I turned to see where they were headed I noticed a long narrow road that took them to new fields in their freedom. Then after seeing them move on I then appeared inside the home that was in the middle of the lot where the young calves once stood. The home was beautiful and bold but there was vacancy in the air for there was no love in the home . As I entered the home I felt the presence of a lady that I once knew that was active in a church but driven by things of this world. I noticed the winding staircase and the expensive railing before turning to see a brand new sewing machine on the counter. At the time that I saw this brand new sewing machine I thought within the spirit of my dream,”Whoever was once here tried to do what we are preparing in our ministry.”

Then the dream moved to another home with someone that I know. This individual grew up in the ways of God and knows the importance of His Word but has fallen into a state of complacency and disobedience. As I walked in I noticed a hole in the floor around 6 inches in circumference and it glowed like lava right underneath the floor of the home. I stepped on the hole in trying to stop the fire before it burnt the home and this is when I woke up.

UNDERSTANDING;

After praying for God to give me understanding and recognizing the key biblical parts of the dream this is what the Lord placed in my spirit. “See the two pastures one with a beautiful field had nothing to offer so the older generation thought so they crossed the line being represented by the fence in seeking the material things of the world. They built mansions, big buildings, filled their barns and built elaborate churches to entice the human eye. But many of these buildings are empty due to pursuing selfish desires instead of being done out of love through the Kingdom of God.

The sewing machine represented that God had given them everything to sow with but instead of learning to sow they invested in their own false idols like the golden calves at the foot of the mountain. Now that their barns are full they are empty because they never figured out out how to sow those seeds of love into someones life because they simply have lost their first love and try to attract people with the eye instead of from the heart.

The younger generation was standing at the gap ready to move because there was no love in the home. As soon as the gap was opened they began to follow the Lord in His true love that would lead them to new pastures down the road they traveled. See the calves all being of one breed is not about color or age it is about the children of God that is seeking the love of Jesus within our homes.

In visiting the second home with the fire burning through the floor this is judgement at our feet here in America due to our disobedience and complacency to the Word of God. As I stepped on the hole that was burning this represented the prayers of the remnant that is standing in the gap for the lost and the misguided.

Prayer;
Judgement is right at our feet here in America and if we do not WAKE UP to this TRUTH then God please protect those that still believe…The time is at hand to REPENT and return to GOD while sowing positives seeds that will help someone else instead of only thinking about ourselves…What God gives us is not for us to build our own tower or to fill our own barns. For it is for us to sow those seeds of love that will produce the heavenly fruit and help develop the future generations.

Lord, I pray that this message travels the roads and opens the eyes and ears of those that have gone faint to help bring others back home to you. For there is an amazing peace in the valley with rich fertile soils as we open our hearts up to you. May our hearts be prepared to receive what you have to give and be ready to serve as you direct…amen

Job 33 :14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. 15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; 16Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, 17That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

Maintain Your Balance…

August 2, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

In Luke 10 verse 20 Jesus teaches a vital lesson on humility and insuring that we don’t fall into pride or self-righteousness. He warns the messengers who had just returned to not rejoice because of what took place but to simply rejoice because their names were registered in Heaven. It is very easy to lose our balance when we don’t stay focused on who is in control and keep our eyes upon our eternal destination.

This message not only speaks to leaders within a church but to everyone who begins to raise themselves up in their accomplishments. By learning to simply just do the work and leave the rest to God helps us to balance our lives and have peace in our walk. For our accomplishments are not our accomplishments they are all for the glory of God as we are just the instrument learning how to play. The question is, which horn do we blow? Do we blow our own or do we blow the trumpet of God?

Old And Blind…

August 1, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

In John 8 Jesus forgave an adulterous woman that was being brought to judgment by others. Her sin brought others to such anger that they wanted to stone her and they brought her to Jesus trying to trap Him due to their own lack of understanding and recognition of the Truth within Him. The interesting part about this message is after Jesus told the crowd to let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone that they began to walk away but it was the order in which they walked where we learn another lesson.

The Word says that they began to slip away one by one beginning with the oldest. As I read this and prayed the Lord pointed out the order in which the accusers were in and then He recalled the lesson of new wine in an old wine skin. For Jesus was new wine and the old refused to receive the new and in this oreder in which they left this means that the old were the ones so adoment to stone and trap Jesus but failed to succeed after He spoke the Truth.

How often is that we look upon someone elses sin without looking upon our own? The Lord tells us that we receive mercy as we give mercy and He also tells us that we are accountable for causing others to stumble. As the old ones in this lesson that were misleading the young there is another lesson within that lesson….

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…
