Don’t Put Off On Other’s What You Can Do Yourself

June 15, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It does not matter who we are or how productive we think that we are being that we can’t see something in our lives that needs to be addressed. God points out things in our spirits in order for us to take the initiative to maintain what He has given. But when we continue to neglect what God is telling us in our spirit to do then it is only a matter of time that something will slip away.

 In our human nature we want to push our responsibilities off on others in hoping that someone else will do the work that needs to be done. When we learn to follow what God places in our spirits in our homes, in our relationships, in our careers, in our nation, and even in the church we will find that there is momentum in the spirit of God that will spread to others as we continue to follow as the Lord directs.

 I challenge you today to make a list of everything that God has placed in your spirit to address whether calling someone to tell them you love them or developing a plan to improve your picture in life. Learn to prioritize these things so you won’t be consumed and allow God to show you what needs to be done in everyday that you have been given…amen

 Life is a daily balance that requires discipline in order to maintain what we have been given. For if we can’t take care of what we have then honestly why would we expect to receive something better?

Make A Positive Difference

June 14, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 Many people become unhappy where they are because they miss what it takes to make something better and overlook the lesson to be learned in what guided their steps to where they may be. Wherever we are in life whether were in the pits or on top of the world God wants us to understand that it is up to each one of us individually to make a positive difference in our lives that will in turn make a positive difference in someone else’s.

 So many times in life nothing gets done because we don’t want go through the extra work that it might require to improve the situation. I challenge you today to not sit around wishing that something was better because it is solely up to you to make a positive difference in everday that God has given…amen

How To Empower The People

June 12, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 Over the past 40 years here in America Satan has really made an outward showing of how he has been spiritually misleading this country through individuals by trying to motivate the people by material means. This deception has caused many to become lost and caused others to become oppressed because they are looking at what the world has to offer instead of learning how to be who they are under God. This spiritual misguidance that is affecting our world today has caused many people to grow without the maturity of God which teaches us how to not only be happy where we are but how to maintain what we have been given.

 This spiritual deception is easy to see when you really open your eyes and ears to what the world has been teaching. For instance, those that have alot never have enough, those that don’t have much are always looking for more, and then there are those that don’t know how to use what they already have. This spiritual misguidance has not only affected the world but has also infected the church by trying to entice people to join because of what they have to offer on the outside and truly forgetting what it takes on the inside to maintain what we have been given.

 When we feel as if we need to keep up with someone else here on earth or as if we have to be at a certain place to find God then we need to take a step back to insure that we are not being spirtually misled by Satan! For Satan wants us to never be happy where we are and he wants us to overlook what we already have because he knows our weakness in the flesh of how we like to take the easy way out. Think about it! If we are always seeking something that we don’t have then how can we appreciate what we do have?   

  Instead of talking about or showing others what we may have or what the world has to offer let’s learn to encourage other’s by uplifting them in the loving spirit of God by teaching them that they already have everything they need to succeed where they are when they learn to seek God for their direction. It is when we look for what we don’t have that Satan can spiritually suppress us by feeling that we don’t have what it takes to achieve our goals because we forget who is truly in control and this causes many people to never even make that step in faith.

 When we have God we have everything and as we learn to use what He has given us today then He will give us what we need for tomorrow. God wants us to learn the importance of self discipline and principles in life to maintain what He provides in the spiritual freedom of Jesus Christ to see how high we can climb without a fall. It is very important to recognize how God can use us right where we are without feeling that we have to be somewhere else in order to receive the blessings that He gives in our hearts and soul.

 No matter how many buildings we build or how glamorous our lives may be without the loving spirit of Jesus we will always be chasing the wind and feel empty on the inside. The object in life is to discover Jesus Christ and then learn to grow within the discipline of God while learning to do the best we can where we are in seeking to please God instead of man…amen

Recognize Where God Speaks

June 8, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is important to remember that God often speaks to each of us in our own spirit first and then if we do not follow then He begins to speak through others for us to hear what needs to be heard. The sad part about this is when we continue to not obey what God places in our spirit  because then it is only a matter of time before God will get our attention either directly or indirectly guaranteed.

 Have you ever had someone to warn you of something in your path and you chose to not listen? Or, have you ever had someone to point out something that could help you improve what you might already be doing but you chose to not listen because it was not your idea? When we don’t seek God for our direction and know how to stay humble to the point that we will listen then it is easy to miss what God has right before us. It is important to remember that all things that are good come from God and all things bad come from Satan.  

 When we begin to listen for God instead of focusing on man it is amazing at what can take place in the spirit of the Lord that will carry us forward instead of leaving us stuck behind.  I challenge you today to learn who you are under God and learn to act in the love of Jesus Christ to work together on earth as it is in Heaven…amen

 We are nothing without God but a speck of dust in His creation. It is when we think that we are better than dirt that God shows us what we are really made of…

Return To God To Be Restored

June 5, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 How sad is this in America of how far we have drifted away from properly following and serving the Lord? Spiritually Satan has misled us into a nation of not enough time when we really do have the time, and he has caused us to react in fear because we have forgotten how to trust in the Lord. Our leaders say they care but they show a total different objective because they only do what can uplift them rather than doing their jobs and properly serving the people.  

 This same thing has even taken place in our homes and unfortunately even in the church. Have we forgotten what life is about? Have we truly forgotten God’s Word? The Lord never told us to leave someone in the ditch and to fill our own pantries with caviar while we throw a few crackers to others! The Lord never told us to only give to those that can give back in return! The Lord never told us to separate ourselves from the sinners and He especially never told us to hate good and love evil!

 Many people have come to a point of only giving time and helping those that offer something back in return. If our check is large enough or we can make someone look good in front of the people then it is no problem to buy some time for someone to listen or receive some support. Have we come to such a point in our society that we have forgotten how to truly discern between good and evil? Have we come to such a point that we have forgotten how to recognize the confirmation that we receive in our spirit when we hear the Word of God because we are so focused on what we see? 

 Life is not about us! It is about serving others and learning to trust in God rather than in man. How far do we have to fall before we return to God? Is the Word of God so faint in the people that it is time for us to go home? How long are we going to try and rely on ourselves before we learn to rely on God? Until we learn to turn from our ways and seek God for our direction this nation is only going to continue to face the Lord’s judgement for our disobedience! 

 What we have to remember is that nothing is over until God says it is over and it is our job as a true Christian to make the most out of every day that we are given to help someone else rather than ourselves! Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ displayed this example all the Way to the cross and the Word of God tells us us to never give up no matter how far we fall! All it takes is a little light in the darkness to see the Way and God will give us the strength as we learn to pray…amen       

  It is when we hold back that we won’t receive what God has in store…

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…
