Don’t Be Spiritually Robbed By Satan

June 9, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 When under the conviction of the Holy Spirit and we don’t properly understand the Word of God it is very easy to fall into a state of suppression where Satan will work hard to rob us of who we really are as a child of God. This lack of understanding is what leads so many people to things of this world from alcohol, drugs, affairs, over eating, material things and to anything that will give them some temporary relief of removing their minds from the real issue at hand. 

 Until we learn how to deal with our roots in love that are stemmed from a seed that has been planted within us our healing will never come. It is when we reach our understanding in the Word of God through the love of Jesus Christ that we begin to recognize who we really are in order to grow like never before.    

 Have you ever felt held back in life or robbed of the love that you can share? Have you ever allowed someone else to beat you down because you feared what you might have to face?  Have you ever felt that you had to buy someones love in order to keep it rather than learning to receive what God freely gives? Spiritually Satan works in many ways to hold us back, and until we learn how to discern between good and evil our spiritual lives will be in a prison.

 I challenge you today to apply God’s Word to your life and learn how to be set free through the blood of Jesus Christ by trusting in Him rather than in yourself…amen

 It is when we look to God that we will find God, and it is when obey God that He will show us our purpose in life through the love of Jesus Christ…

Recognizing The Spirit Of God

June 7, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 There is a difference between discipline and punishment when we really open our eyes to the Word of God. The Lord disciplines us everyday through the Holy Spirit that convicts us of our wrong thoughts and our wrong actions to help us go forward rather than falling behind. It is when we overlook how this discipline is to help us that we often become suppressed to the point that we begin to feel the punishment for our neglect.

 Often when we are being disciplined by God through the Holy Spirit and we are avoiding what needs to be done we become very touchy to the point that we snap at others and won’t listen to what needs to be heard. The reason for this is because we already know what needs to be done but our self gets in the way and causes us to fall further because we choose to not follow as the Lord directs.  

 The object of this spiritual suppression of Satan is to rob us of the freedom that we have in the love of Jesus Christ. For all that Satan wants is for us to give up and to only think about ourselves because he knows that once we do this it is only a matter of time that he will infect our minds to the point that we can not see. 

 If we choose to continue to overlook what we know in our hearts to be true and not do what needs to be done then it is only a matter of time that the correction is destined to come. God guides each of us daily through His Holy Spirit and the object in this life is to follow Him and to love one another as we want others to love us. I challenge you today to learn how to follow what God places in your spirit in a loving way and begin to be set free from the chains that are holding you back…amen

It is not our hearing God’s Word that pleases Him, but how we respond to it that shows the true love that we carry…

True Communication Requires A Loving Spirit

June 2, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 One of the hardest things to do when we are trying to build something in life is learning how to listen and to trust God for the outcome. So many times we get into our feelings when something is not going our way and we allow things to build that can cause a division. Learning to communicate in a loving spirit is vital to maintain our relationships with one another and just because we may not agree with what someone else may have to say does not mean that we do not need to listen.

 The Word of God teaches us that our relationships should be equally yoked because if one person carries all the load then it is only a matter of time that something could break. Each one of us have specific responsibilities to help one another reach what God has put before us in love and when we only think of ourselves then this only shows how shallow the love is that we carry. I challenge you to go the extra mile in what God has given and learn to communicate in a loving spirit to build upon what God has before you…amen 

 It is when we think that we have all the answers that God shows us how little we are…

Don’t Put Off What Can Be Done Today Until Tomorrow

May 31, 2010 by admin 2 Comments

  So many times in life we allow ourselves to struggle because we simply don’t do what God has instructed and we allow Satan to spiritually take us down in depression. Satan likes for us to put off what we can do today until tomorrow because he knows how weak we are in the flesh and how our minds become confused when we allow ourselves to get overwhelmed.

 When we put off what needs to be done today until tomorrow our productivity in life can be set back until we learn how to take care of what we have before us. I challenge you today to learn how to prioritize your daily task to insure that you are making the most out of what you have been temporarily given.  

 For what are we teaching our children if we don’t know how to stay focused ourselves to reach and maintain our goals?

Who Guides Your Decisions?

May 29, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very important to examine the deep roots of our intentions, our goals, and our life ambitions to insure the right spiritual seed that is guiding our path. This examination is not only important before we make our decisions but it is equally if not more important to continue throughout our commitments as we begin to build our relationships, our careers, and our missions in life.

 When people don’t know God and understand how He is in full control they often make their decisions based on their own knowledge  or desires which can be driven through our emotions and selfish ambitions. Spiritually Satan wants us to make these type of decisions because he knows that when we don’t truly seek God in our decisions how easily they can be broken.

   Unfortunately, in today’s society many people make decisions that are far from God in hollow religion due to the influence of monetary gain and by trusting in man instead of learning to trust our Father in Heaven. It is in our human nature to want others to rely on us but when we do this then we are misleading the people because every single individual needs to learn how to rely on God instead of trusting in man.

 Through my journey in life I have learned how Satan can even mislead us even when we think that we are on the right coarse. The key to this is staying humble in the love of Christ without allowing pride to separate us from the people. There was once a point  that I would not listen to others because I thought that I had all the answers but there came a point that I had to learn a valuable lesson in allowing God to bring things together rather than trying to do it on my own.

 It is very wise to listen and then go to God in prayer before we make our decisions in life to prevent us from acting in our emotions which can cause a division within the body. The Lord speaks in many different ways to warn us, to guide us, and to help unite us but when we become so stuck in our own way then it is only a matter of time that we forget God’s way. It is important to recall that His ways are much higher than our ways and His thoughts are much higher than our thoughts.

 If we seriously want to maintain what God has given us in our homes, in our careers, in our churches, and even in our nation then we must learn to work together under God with mutual respect for each individual without divisions in the body. Spiritually Satan has done a good job of causing many divisions in this world because many people want to prove their own self worth rather than just being who they are under God and allowing Him to bring things together rather than trying to do it on our own.  

 Throughout history we learn of many great leaders who stood up in a time of need, not for the attention, not for monetary gain, nor for their own self glory. They did not have prepared speeches but they just spoke from their heart with God guiding their actions to help encourage and unite the people. It is vital in life that we learn to stand on the truth of God to maintain what we have been given because when we take it for granted then it is only a matter of time before it will be taken away.

 Every single individual has a purpose in life and we all add value to each other when we learn how to work together rather than apart. It is my sincere prayer that we put aside our differences and learn to unite for our children’s future in God’s glory rather than our own. May God be with us and give every single individual that reads this the wisdom to work together in the love of Christ to help rebuild whatever in their life that may be broken…amen    

For a decision that is right in the eyes of God is one that properly serves the people first and then if it is in God’s will then He will bless the people.

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…
