Fan The Flames…

December 15, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

  Paul teaches us to fan the flames in the spirit of God and to always encourage one another no matter where we are in life. One thing to keep in mind when someone is on fire for the Lord or excelling in their God given talent is how to fan the flame instead of trying to quench the spirit. Have you ever been excited about something and someone just let the air out of your balloon? Have you ever worked hard for something to make a difference and no one acknowledged the work that was done? Always recall that it is not what we do for ourselves but what we do for others that shows whom we follow.

 We all are human and need a word of encouragement from time to time. But more importantly we need to recognize in our spiritual maturity how to fan the flame instead of trying to dampen the fire. It is not our place to let the air out of someones balloon for God decides how high it will fly and when it is time to come back down. 

 I challenge you today and every other day be encouraging in your words and actions with others. And learn to fan the flame in the spirit of God while always keeping Jesus in  front to insure a safe landing…amen

The American Dream Still Stands…

October 24, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 Why is it when our young children come to us with life ambitions that we encourage them by telling them they can be anything they want but then as they mature we tend to stop encouraging them which causes weak self esteem within themselves?

 Think about it! As you have matured in life how many people have ever discouraged you by looking at what you wear, maybe for what you look like, your background, your age or simply by just telling you this can not be done? Is this not complete opposite of what we teach our children when our daughter comes to us wanting to be that princess or when our son comes to us wanting to be that astronaut?

 It is vital to recall that every child is a child of God and we never know the age of that lost soul when their eyes may be opened to the Truth in salvation. It is our position to seek Him daily while encouraging each other no matter the age in the glory of God through Jesus Christ!

 Do you recall the lesson of Abraham & Sara in the birth of their son Isaac? The lesson was that our heartfelt dreams can be fulfilled at any age of our life if our faith is right by God and we are working within His will!

 It is pathetic how how our society by majority has lost their sight in encouraging and helping one another reach their goals in life! Instead we sit around looking and dissecting the task while discouraging someone who can make a difference because we can’t see how God is working in their life. GOD HELP US For How Blind We Are!!!

 Our society and even many of our churches are holding our children back because we have lost sight of how to grow in the Spirit of God! We are to help those below us and encourage them to travel further than ourselves while never forgetting the roots of our foundation in the Word of God through the love of Jesus Christ. It is also our position to respect and uplift those above us in order for them to maintain their position until the next one comes along and many have lost sight of this principle in life.

 What do you think Martin Luther King would say right now to those who told him to keep his mouth shut and that he would never make a difference? Looks like his heartfelt dreams have now been fulfilled because of the belief in the dreams that he once carried and passed on. Do not ever lose sight of how God can work in our life when we learn to follow Him in true faith and seek His direction in the talents that He has given to each of us to make a difference in our children’s future. Not all things happen in our timing but when we plant the right seeds in fertile soil you never know when the tree may sprout. Every generation is to help nurture and fertilize our children of tomorrow!

  I challenge you today and every other day to encourage someone and help them in life by learning to work together and not apart! Don’t disrespect God as Sara and laugh at things that you may think are not possible. Because ALL things are possible with God and greater is He that is within us than he that is in this world!!! Amen

Selfish Bribes In America

October 2, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 At what point is it that our government will stop selling their souls to the devil and do what is right for the people? Never before has there been so much selfish desires in America. This country was built on a Christian foundation of serving the people and not seeing what we can take from the people!

 When is enough, enough? I am a humbled father of two wonderful children that is deeply concerned for the future generations due to the lack of true leadership in our country. There must come a point in life when we see how our lives and our decisions are having negative impacts that we say,” Wait a minute I can’t do this anymore, for what I am doing is going to hurt the people and it is time to clean up our act and start properly serving the people.” 

 Many people have fallen to following the crowd and the temporary dollar verses standing on what is right by God and properly serving the people. It is my sincere prayer that every individual learns to work for God rather than for themselves, and we stand again with direction and unity to help clean up this corrupt nation…amen

Real Change In Life

September 30, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in life to say we are going to change or fix a problem but the question is, “Do our actions follow our words?”  There is only one way to change or correct a problem and that is to reach the roots at the bottom and then work our way back up to the top! If we only work on the top then the change is only superficial because it will only last so long before the roots on the inside will overcome that which is on the outside.

 Sometimes in life we have to be on the bottom to even see our way back up to the top. Once we are on the bottom we study our roots and our surroundings in order to repair and build like never before in seeing not only where we went wrong but how to help others along the way… 

  There is only one way to examine our roots and that is with the light of Jesus Christ that exposes our wrongs to make them right. The foundation which we stand is not ours but our Creators’ in Heaven above. Once we learn our position in who gives and takes away it is amazing at the strength we gain once we learn to stand again with God guiding the way.

 We can speak change all day long, but if we do not do the work it takes in reaching the roots then prepare for the change to only last so long before the fall. I challenge you today and every other day to make positive change that will in turn help others in life throug hthe love of Jesus Christ…amen

Our Foundation In America

September 26, 2009 by admin 1 Comment

 It is so easy in life to just jump on board a ship that is already moving at sea without understanding the principles in which the ship was constructed to keep it afloat. It never fails that when we allow others to join us at sea when we don’t teach them how the ship was built on a foundation of God that over time they will forget how to properly believe.

 As time travels on and we continue to overlook how we got off course then it is only a matter of time before the ship loses its direction and strength within its foundation. It is never to late to rebuild as long as we are still afloat but in order to regain our direction sometimes we must take a step back in order to take a step forward once again.

 If the United States of America does not Wake Up and set their anchor then prepare for the wounded ship to only drift further out to sea. A true captain does not rely on what he thinks he see’s! He stands with courage to keep order within the ship and he learns how to follow by listening to God while coordinating his direction by the  stars in Heaven above…

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…
