Need Oil For Your Lamp?

October 13, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 There is alot of wisdom in nature when we learn to pay attention to the behavior patterns of different animals. Have you ever noticed how different animals act before a change in the weather comes upon them? For instance deer tend to eat before a storm and bears tend to prepare for winter hibernation as migratory birds tend to change their location. 

 Humans are the only ones that tend to neglect the signs of the season that is to come. We tend to think that we can avoid the inevitable because we are so naive to the Truth. Jesus warns us of this in the end times and He teaches us to always be alert. Are you alert to the signs that are before us or is your lamp out of oil? It is very hard to see in the darkness of this fallen world without the lamp of God showing us the Way.

 If your life seems dark or it seems to be traveling in circles learn to let go of yourself and seek God for the direction that you need. So many times we come up short because we lean on others to fill our lamps with oil because we neglect how to keep them full ourselves….amen

Are You In Tune With God?

October 12, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Why is it that we tend to act so surprised when something changes in our life? This does not mean that some changes don’t come swiftly but if we are honest when we look at different things that take place there are usually signs that precede the action. The Lord tells us in Job 38:36 that God gives us our intuition to the heart and that He gives us our instinct to the mind but we tend to override the guidance of God due to our own negligence and sinful nature.

 The problem is that when we drift away from God and forget how to listen that we often neglect the senses that He has given us to stay in tune within the environment in which we are in.  Staying in tune with God helps us to be alert and aware of our surroundings and it also helps us to maintain what He has given. Are you aware of your surroundings or are you so caught up in everything else that you can’t even feel the water at your feet? Don’t allow Satan to spiritually cause you to miss what God has right before you and learn to grow where you have been planted to increase the yield in your harvest…amen

 For life is a beautiful thing, when we learn how to receive God’s rain…

Are You Ready For Change?

October 11, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have your ever noticed when change comes our way there are always disruptions that tend to brew in our spirits? Think about it; What happens in the weather patterns when the barometric pressure changes? Have you ever noticed the larger the change the bigger the storm? The same thing happens in our lives from our homes and in our careers when change comes our way.

  The object is during the inevitable times of change to be rooted in where we stand with God and learn to trust in Him to get us through. Storms that come from change are good for us because they tend to test our faith and deepen our roots in the Lord. The unfortunate side of changes that occur is how others that don’t know how to handle the storms tend to lose their direction when they are not anchored in the Word of God and they allow themselves to get blown away.

 Whenever you feel as if you can’t hold on or when you see storms coming your way learn to keep your eye on the cross and allow Jesus to show you the Way. We all tend to want to run in a storm but some storms we simply have to learn how to stand…amen

The Truth In Spiritual Warfare

October 9, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

  This post is a little deep for those that have fallen asleep but to those with the eyes to see they will recognize this Truth and continue to believe. Since the formation of this country here in America spiritually Satan has been at work to regain the control that he once had from our foreign nations. It is wise to recognize one simple fact and that is that Satan does not want us to be free due to the prison that he is in.

 The United States Of America has been under attack spiritually by Satan that has been working since the formation of this country to remove the principles of God from our foundation. Spiritually Satan knows that once he accomplishes the removal of God from our lives then we will no longer know how to recognize the discipline of God that comes in the Holy Spirit and this opens the doors to a nation gone wild.

 This is why our government continues to grow to control the people in removing our freedoms because without the Word of God in our lives then our spirits are like wild horses with no reigns. As this continues to grow in removing God from the center of our lives in this nation then this brings the stronghold of Satan by teaching individuals to lean on man instead of learning to trust in God. If America does not Wake Up to this Truth then we are only setting the stage for what is to come in accepting anything that comes our way. This then opens the door for the anti-christ to move right in… This is no joke and America better Wake Up to this Truth. Don’t be blindsided and say that you were not warned. For there is an awakening that is taking place across our nation from Glen Beck on his knees on Fox news in prayer to Christians on the move to stand for our children’s future. It is time that we take heed to the Word Of God and recognize the Truth that is taught in the Holy Bible for our countries future…amen

Be A Leader, Not A Rebel

September 25, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 It is not hard to recognize the divisions and rebellion that is taking place here in America due to the lack of leadership in our country. When you really break all of this down we find that this revolt in authority actually began in our homes as we failed to properly teach the Word of God through the love of Jesus Christ. No where in the Holy Bible does God teach us to rebel nor does He teach us to not respect our authority. Instead He teaches us to pray for our leaders whether we agree with them or not and to recognize the lesson that we encounter when we allow our homes to drift away from the Will of God.

 This country was built on the foundation of God for the people and it is our leaderships responsibility to stand up for what is right by God to maintain the order within our homes. This is no different than the roll of every father that is to lead their home with the integrity and self discipline that is taught in the Word of God for the security within the family. Without individuals that are willing to stand up for what is simply right and wrong by God in our homes and in our nation this country is destined to lose its way without the direction of God.

 There are groups being formed like the Black Robe Regiment, the TEA Party and others that consist of Americans that are simply tired of the road that is being traveled here in America. The world likes to call them radicals and many others like to place them is some sort of criteria to hurt their image but what these groups consist of is your day to day Americans and Christians that are deeply concerned with the direction that this country is headed. Some of the media has labeled these groups as rebels but what person that stands up for the rights of the people , like Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela,  are not categorized as some sort of rebel?

  When we really break this down even further in someone being called a rebel how do you think that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was categorized before His persecution? God did not send His Son here to cause rebellion among the believers but to give us the assurance in the love of God that teaches us that their is much more to this life than what we see.

 In every home and in every business there comes a point that someone must stand up and learn how to communicate in love to break the spiritual chains that are not only holding us back but to maintain the integrity within the body for our childrens future. What many people are not recognizing is the spiritual battle that is taking place here on earth because of their focus being too fixed on the world and forgetting our Creator in Heaven above. The only way for us to combat the strongholds of Satan is in the name of Jesus while being obedient to the Word of God for Him to bring down the walls instead of us trying to do it on our own. This is where the emotional state is very dangerous in activist because they stand up for something that is right by God but they don’t know how to get the job done in the love of Jesus Christ and allow their emotions to to guide their actions.  

 America would be amazed at what can take place when we insert Jesus into the picture to bring down the walls that are holding us back. The Lord teaches us to have unity in the body with God in front and then the Lord will give us the direction which we need to overcome anything that we have before us. I challenge you today speak the name of Jesus and to learn the wisdom that is taught in the Word of God that teaches us to place our trust in Him instead of in man…amen

 Without God there would be no more American form of government, nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first– the most basic–expression of Americanism. Thus, the Founding Father’s of America saw it, and thus with God’s help, it will continue to be. President Dwight Eisenhower / 1955

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…
