Detours Help Us To Develop Character

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever considered the purpose of a detour?

 See a detour is there to get us back to where we are going but they can also teach us new ways of direction as we travel the new roads to reach our destination. Not only do they teach us new ways to develop our character but they can also teach us where we got off course and help us to see things that we would not normally see.

 Here is another interesting part in God’s wisdom about a detour. Often the detour is there not only to teach us something new but it is there to help repair the main road that has been damaged by the elements of the world. Sometimes detours are there for us to simply get our lives back on track before we miss the boat.( There is something deep within this message for those with the eyes to see and the ears to hear) 

 How do you react when you face a detour in life? Do you 1st look at it to recognize if you were the one to bring it on yourself before you blame someone else? In your detour are so pressed for time or angry because something disturbed your plans that you do not even recognize the lesson that God has right before you?

 The next time you encounter something as a detour in your home, your work, in your travels or simply in your life look at it for the spiritual message instead of allowing Satan to miss what God is trying to teach you through your detours in life….

 Don’t get hung up and miss the boat!!!

What Are You Running From?

by Leave a Comment

 How many times have you ever witnessed something of God or felt challenged by another believer in your spirit and then simply neglected what was actually taking place? This lesson of our human nature is taught with Pharaoh in Exodus 7:23 in how he was being challenged. Pharoah even witnessed a miracle but then in his stubborness he returned to his home to put the whole thing out of his mind.

 Have you ever not faced a situation that Gods has put before you due to you fears or in your lack of understanding of whom is actually in control? Have you ever gone to work to get away from something that needs to be addressed at home? Have you ever gone somewhere you did not need to be due to something else that you did want to face? Or, have you become so blind to the Power of God that you have forgotten that He can speak through a donkey?

 Never underestimate the Power of God and what He might have right before you or in that child in your home. What we think is impossible by man is possible by God! The object is are we in tune with His Word or being blinded by what we see!

 If there is something in your life that continues to pop up or something that you are trying to cover up then may I strongly encourage you to face it with a humbled heart to receive the blessing or blessings that God has right before you. For if we don’t face the Truth the Truth will face us!!!

Praise God In Your Burdens

by Leave a Comment

 When we are burdened or mistreated, we may feel defeated. But when we learn to seek God in our burdens He will give us the strength to grow stronger and the wisdom to help us develop the valuable qualities for our future. Be true to God in the hard times because even the worst situations can make us better people when we learn to place our trust in the Lord….Amen

 Here is a question for you this morning,”How can we be an overcomer without troubles to overcome?”

Don’t Miss The Lesson Of God

by Leave a Comment

 In Genesis 41 we learn a valuable lesson that applies to us today through the life of Joseph and the job that he received from Pharaoh. After years of being cast out by his own family and lied upon which placed him in prison Joseph was recognized for the favor of God that was upon his life. No matter where he went or what he had to go through the Lord always helped him to improve something for someone else because he was not thinking about himself and drowning in his own sorrows.

 How easy is it for us to allow Satan to spiritually rob us of our joy when heartaches or troubles come our way? How many people do you know that seem to be drowning in their sorrow instead of seeking God to show them the way out? Have you ever been in a season within your life which you felt would never end? Here is the what the Lord has placed within my spirit this morning to share with you,”In every season there is a reason to deepen our roots with God and a purpose to help others in where we are. For if we only think about ourselves then we are only allowing Satan to spiritually rob us of who we are as a child of God.”

 I leave you this morning with this question upon your heart,”Are you praising God in your circumstances or are you missing the whole point of your lesson?”

Have You Lost Your Balance?

by Leave a Comment

If you were to think of the word Balance and compare its definition to your life what would you see in your reflection? Would you see your life out of order, your work in chaos, a lukewarm marriage, your children out of control, or just no time for yourself in allowing God to keep you in tune?

In order to keep our lives in check we must recognize the purpose of self discipline and the purpose of order in all directions to maintain our balance in life. Maintaining our balance is not something that comes easy and we must accept the fact that it requires work to keep our lives in tune. It is very easy in today’s society to feel like we do not have time when we really do and this is exactly what Satan wants because then he knows how easily we can be distracted in life.

For life is not about how fast we can run or how fast we may achieve a goal. It is about learning to maintain what we have been given and teaching our children how to reach further in life through the love of Jesus Christ!!!

With this being said I leave you this morning with this question placed upon your heart,”What can you do today that will improve something for someone else tomorrow?”

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…
