Can You Hear The Music Of God?

by Leave a Comment

 How many times do we read something without taking the time to really hear what is being said because we are too stuck in the physical and miss the message in the spiritual. God wants us to stop and listen to our hearts without allowing the world to distort the message. The Lord speaks in many different ways yet man does not perceive it simply because they have never learned how to stop and recognize the spiritual messages before them. Here is a message the Lord placed in my spirit and I pray that you will take your eyes off of the deliver to receive something from the Giver… 

 Our character traits are like keys on a piano when you really think about it!  If we only learn one way then how can we expect to learn the art of living? There is a balance to stay in tune along with certain lines to not cross.  But the important factor to remember is if we miss a certain note or child, then that trait may struggle or possibly never be developed.  No one can play the perfect tune due to each individual has a difference. But what matters is the common ground in which we all stand and learn to love what God has given each of us in this land. 

  Learn the character traits to promote growth and watch the music of your child come to life.  Because there is nothing more gratifying than the love of a child looking up to it’s parents.  This is what the Lord enjoys when we focus on Him and learn how to live each and every day.  The Lord rejoices when He hears and sees the music of true love on our hearts.  So as you develop your character, don’t overlook certain keys because you never know when we could get knocked to our knees. It is crucial to know our children and realize that our lives guide their future. 

 There is only one Perfect Father and one Perfect Son who taught us the meaning of two being one.  Life does not stop with us and we have already been given everything we need so search the Word of God and learn to follow Jesus’ lead.  (To God All Glory, Amen)

Can You Hear God Speaking?

by Leave a Comment

 Can you hear the music that is being played in the spirit of God? Did you know that there is song being played in God’s love for His children from the leaves that blow in the wind and the stars in sky that light up the night? When is the last time that you ever tried to tune in with spirit of God without being consumed by the world? Do you take time daily with God and meditate on His Word? It is truly amazing at what we can hear in the spirit of God that can reassure us in our fears and let us know that He is near.

 Here is what I heard one day as I was writing a letter to my daughter;

 Dear Karlee,

 You know I was thinking I need to teach you how to dance. One day when you are much older you will have someone to dance with and you need to understand the purpose of the dance and how to hear the music of God.

 There is something very special when you are in the arms of someone who loves you and especially when you learn to work together in the spirit of God. The Lord teaches us how to dance in the Holy Bible when we open our eyes and ears to hear Him draw near. Think about it, the Lord teaches us how two can become one and how to move together in this physical dance of life.

 Dancing in love is something very special and to never take forgranted! It is not in how fast we move but it is in how slow we dance that teaches us the true art of God’s romance. First we have to learn how to surrender and then when we learn how to commit is when God will teach us how to move like we have never moved before. It will feel as if our feet are being lifted from the floor because we will feel the spirit of God in knowing Jesus who is the One that is standing at the door.

 You don’t speak in the dance. For you learn to listen for that gentle whisper upon your heart and this is when you will recognize God’s love from the very start. Don’t be shy and think you can’t dance because God will teach you the art of romance in this dance of life that has been given through our Father’s only Son Jesus Christ. So close your eyes and imagine being in the arms of our Father Heaven and hearing these words every time you put your feet to the floor in Him saying,” Good morning my child please open your ears to know that I am near and learn to dance without any types of doubt or fears. For I love you and I will never forsake you because my love for you is sufficient to always get you through.”

 In this letter to my daughter if you truly have the ears to hear you will recognize the music that is played when we simply learn to stop and listen. For this message was not only intended for me to hear it is for you to know that God is near…Amen

GOD Still Stands & Can Restore Our Homes

by 6 Comments

 GOD has layed on my heart to share with all of you a childhood prayer that I thought was only a dream which I now know has been heard by our Father in Heaven above in bringing unity and strength back in the family of GOD. I pray that whoever reads this brief message will feel the love of GOD and the presence of His Holy Angels that are all around when we seek Him with repentant hearts for our children’s future. May GOD speak to your heart and inspire you in this brief testimony of restoration below to step up to the plate in the mirror of GOD for our children’s future.  

   As a child I used to cry at night for my parents that fell to the deception of Satan in chasing what the world has to offer and forgetting my brother and I at home. My mother struggled to keep my father planted and eventually she could not hold on any more because my earthly father showed no signs of taking root in the love of GOD for his wife and children.

 My mother endured through many heartaches and physical pains that brought blood and financial loss in her love for her children. As the older brother at the age of 9 I would cry out for my earthy father to leave my mother alone in his temper that raged out of control. I ‘ll never forget when the separation of my parents finally came in how they never set  us down in love to explain.

 Yes, we were young in years but we were their children that deserved some type of love and compassion. In my mothers fight for survival she lost her footing with the Lord due to the winds of sin from my father and the temptations of the world.  She fell away from church and godly people because she did not want to deal with her situation in the mirror of God due to the pain that she was carrying on the inside. The ones that she did surround herself with from the church lived a lie because they were only someone else in disguise. 

 As a young child without the discipline of GOD in my home and having parents that placed their responsibilities on others this led to a state of heartache beyond words for the love of GOD that I knew in my heart. Many nights I would sit out under the stars and cry out with such a pain that was ripping my heart in two due to our broken home and feeling all alone. 

 All I wanted was my earthy fathers arms of love around me that would teach me how to behave and to be a better man. Without the love and discipline of a godly father figure in our home this opened up the door for Satan to spiritually scatter each of us into the unknown. My younger brother surrounded himself with female figures that allowed a spirt of deception to fall upon him homosexuality because no one in the family was strong enough to speak the Truth in the Word of God and simply tell him this,”The road you are taking in homosexuality is not right by GOD!

 The same applies to me as well in my parents not standing on the foundation of GOD as a young child and helping me in my state of rebellion. Without the instruction in the Word of GOD being taught to us in our homes this only led to further pains and darker days ahead. I’ll never forget the clear nights under the stars with my heart crying out in pain and especially the nights at my grandparents hiding in the field with tears that fell like rain.

 But today 30 years later and through a hard journey of seeking the love that I knew in my heart I can honestly sit here today and tell you that GOD has answered my prayers and turned my tears of pain into tears of joy that no man can explain! Not only has my life been restored but my mothers as well along with many others that God has placed me around. The Lord has taught me wisdom that no school can give and restored me with a beautiful wife and two loving children that I pray never have to journey the roads that I have traveled.

 I praise GOD today like I have never praised GOD before because I know my real Father in Heaven and I realize that as a parent we are only given our children as a gift with a personal responsibility to help guide them in the right directions through the love of Jesus Christ. It is our place to stand on GOD’S  Truth for our homes to stay intact for our children’s future and when we fail to do this is when Satan will destroy what we have been given.

 With this brief testimony it is my prayer as a father, as a brother and as a son to spread the Truth of  how God can restore us when we are willing to face our wrongs in the mirror of God with repentant hearts for our new life to begin through Jesus Christ. What a journey it has been with dreams that I never thought could be reached but God has shown me that nothing is impossible through Him when we truly believe and we are willing to endure through the hard times in order to reach the good times.

 If you have a heartfelt dream of wanting peace and experiencing God’s unconditional love then may I encourage you to never give up or lose hope! For when we learn from our past without allowing Satan to take us down in it further is when God will show us the Way to rebuild and strengthen the foundation from which we stand. 

 The Lord says in Malachi 3 that if we will return to Him that He will return to us and that He will restore our homes with blessings beyond our imagination. I stand today as a humbled man of GOD in telling you that GOD’S Word will not not come back void when we learn to apply His instruction to our lives and obey HIs Word.

 It is my sincere prayer that America WAKES UP to the TRUTH of GOD for our homes and our nation to be restored for GOD’S glory and not our own…Amen

The Angel Dropped In One Holy Night

by Leave a Comment

 It was the day of Christmas and all through the house the family was struggling and broken due to some issues that were as small as a mouse. The tree was decorated with lights that flickered all around but unfortunately due to the severed families some children were missing and very few children were gathered around. Hearts were hurting in disguise while many children simply hid their inner cries for the lack of true love being shown in the family of God which was being held back due to pride. The home was barely full with strife in the air due to the busy schedules and the children that were scattered everywhere.

 As the children began to cry out from their hearts for those that were lost to come home all of a sudden an Angel dropped in and began to sing a beautiful song. On this Holy Night that Jesus was born the Angel began to tell them how their hearts can be healed from where they had been scorned. The Angel said that God so loved the world that He sent His Firstborn so that the family of God will no longer be splintered or torn. As the Angels sang in the spirit of God the childrens tears of pain turned to tears of joy that fell like rain.

 When the elders heard the children’s cries they stopped in to see what was taken place and then all of a sudden the Angel showed them His face. There were no questions asked or doubts of speculation in what was taking place in Gods mercy and unfailing grace.  As they all began to look for their children at the foot of the tree they were amazed at what they saw because the children had replaced the tree with a cross. The adults were so taken at this sight in the childrens unity that they knew better than to ask what was wrong because they knew the children were right. 

 “It was time that we learned from our past in putting aside our differences for the family to be restored,” the Angel spoke. Then all of a sudden as the people began to come together in God’s unconditional love more Angels began appear relieving the people of their fears because they knew God was near. There was a sweet melody that could be heard from the house in the spirit of God that reached the streets during that Silent Night which restored the treasures of the love within the heart of the home.

  These gifts which were received were not gifts that grew old because everyone began to realize their purpose in life through the love of Jesus Christ. We all have miracle moments and praises from big to small and it is our place to always try to share them all. For we are all equal at the foot of the cross and God so loves each one of us that He sent His Only Son to keep us from being lost.

  As the night came to a close for a new day to begin the family went to bed with a new sense of peace between their family and friends. They knew their home was safe and secure because of their salvation in Jesus Christ and they praised God for simply sending His Angel that dropped in….Amen 

 Enjoy this song by Josh Groban singing Holy Night and listen for the Angels in the room ministering to your heart. For their is restoration coming in the family of God….MERRY CHRISTMAS & MAY OUR FAMILIES BE UNITED IN THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST…

The Angel That Dropped In

 It was the night before Christmas and all through the house the family was struggling and broken due to some issues that were as small as a mouse. The tree was decorated with lights that flickered all around but unfortunately due to the severed families some children were missing and very few children were gathered around. Hearts were hurting in disguise while some children simply hid their inner cries due to the lack of unity in the family of God.

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…
