True Love Is Not Of Force

by Leave a Comment

  It is in our human nature to push others to see what we see, but when we find ourselves forcing our ways upon someone else then we need to take a step back to insure that we are not being spiritually misguided by Satan. God wants us to share with others what He has taught us and to lead by example in the love of Christ for others to find their own way by learning to just be who they are without trying to be someone else.

  For each person is responsible for their own relationship with God through Christ and how they develop is between them and the Lord. When we learn to love someone for who and where they are without trying to shape them into who we want them to be then we are showing others the proper Way to believe…amen

Love is not directed but comes in our freewill as we choose in the freedom which we have been given…

Experiences Lead To Our Purpose In Life

by Leave a Comment

  To discover our true purpose in life we first have to recognize what talents that God has given us and then we can begin to develop through prayer and daily practice as we mature to fully utilize what God has given us to use for His glory and not our own. When we learn to apply our experiences in life with our God given talents then this can lead us to discover our purpose in a successful life. The world teaches us to seek success for ourselves but God teaches us that true success is seeking it for others. 

 It is in our human nature to judge someone based on their appearance, their history, and their education but what we must recall is 1 Samuel 16:7,”For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”  True success comes when we recognize our talents under God and then we help others discover theirs by helping them to one day do the same with others. For there is nothing in this world that can compare to the gift of God that fills our hearts and soul when we help another child discover their purpose in life through the love of Jesus Christ.   

 As a parent, as a teacher, as a coach, as an employer, and as a leader it is our responsibility under God to recognize the God given talents in others to help develop them for our children’s future. It is in our nature to try and develop someone to fit our mold but we must recall that it is God’s place to develop each individual while we obey His Word in serving the Lord’s desires instead of our own. When we try to guide someone into a decision or deny them an oppurtunity to discover their talents in life then we could be placing that person in a form spiritual bondage that will not only rob them of their joy but it can also affect the future generations in life until someone learns how to break that chain through the love of Jesus Christ.

  True Success is not measured in material means but measured in how we teach others to utilize and maintain what God has provided. I challenge you to teach others how to discover their talents in life through the love of Jesus Christ by helping them to follow their hearts desires to insure their steps in the future…amen

The Truth Sets Us Free & Carries Us Forward

by Leave a Comment

 Throughout the world many people are looking for the answers to success and help in overcoming their setbacks in life. Many books have been written and many positions have been created to misguide us into looking to man for the answers rather than seeking God for our direction. Every single thing we need to understand about our characteristics, our weaknesses, and our success is taught in the Holy Bible but many people choose to not go through the extra effort that it takes to discover this Truth in life.

 It is in our nature to want the quick fix and to want someone else to do the work for us but until we learn how to take responsibility for our self and our own actions under God then we will only continue to be lost in this world. As Jesus replied in Luke 11,”But even more blessed are all who hear the Word of God and put it into practice.”

 With this being said, I challenge you to not sit on the Truth but learn how to do something with it in a loving spirit that will in turn help motivate others to do the same. Real change does not come from our leaders in office it begins in our homes and then spreads into our communities for our children’s future while we expect our leaders to simply do what is right under God for the people…amen

We Must Communicate To Maintain

by Leave a Comment

 When we don’t communicate with one another in our relationships this only leads to the other party looking for signs in our actions that can be mislead spiritually by Satan by causing us to assume something that could be far off track. Communication allows us to understand one another and it helps us to work together to achieve each others goals rather than trying to do them on our own.

 We are the ones who complicate matters when we don’t know how to trust in God and we try to handle everything on our own. Life is not that complicated unless we make it and no matter how hard we try to figure things out we will never be able to comprehend what God has created. Rather than trying to figure out how some things may work lets learn to apply what it takes in love to build and maintain upon what we have already been given.

 It is very easy to sit around a table and discuss what is going wrong in the world but let’s learn to focus on what we can do to make a positive difference where we are rather than where we are not. I challenge you today to do something over and above your normal routine to make a positive difference wherever you are and learn to communicate in love to maintain what you have…amen

Work In The Light For Others To See The Way

by Leave a Comment

 There are times in life that it will seem unfair and there are times in life that it will seem as if you will have to do all the work. It is in these times that we should never allow ourselves to become spiritually discouraged by Satan when he is working through others to rob us of the joy we have. All Satan wants is for us to be unhappy and to feel as if every time we start something that it is going to fail. When we allow Satan to cause us to feel this way then we are doing nothing but giving victory to Satan instead of claiming the victory that we already have been given through the love of Jesus Christ.

 Instead of getting mad and carrying internal frustrations learn how to handle them in love in order to accomplish what needs to be done. It is when we bottle up our frustrations that Satan tries to get us to act out in our emotions in order to possibly cause a division in our relationships in life. These spiritual frustrations that can build up in us will often cause us to be snappy at one another and cause us to just become unhappy where we are. 

 I challenge you today to enjoy the work that you have in the love of Jesus Christ and go the extra mile without worrying about the extra work that needs to be done. God will give you everything you need and it should be our prayer that as we walk in the light that others will begin to come out of the darkness by the example that we are in order to lead them to Jesus Christ…amen

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…
