Love Comes In Our Freewill

May 18, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Nothing of God has restrictions but only requires our obedience to maintain what has been given in true love. Unfortunately, many people never understand this and they live in fear of losing what they have been given so they devise ways to suppress the love that is carried by demanding it in return. It is important to remember that true love is never directed but only comes in our freewill as we choose to receive and give back in return.

 When we receive it is important to give in return because if we only take without giving then it is only a matter of time before someone could be left behind. I challenge you today to express your love with those that God has put in your path and remember what we put into life is what we will get out of it…amen

Momentum In The Spirit Of God

May 15, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 There is a great momentum that carries us forward in the spirit of God when we learn how to let go of what is holding us back. Everyday we encounter set backs spiritually by Satan that come from all different directions in order to remove our focus from what God has placed in our hearts to achieve and maintain. These set backs or restrictions in the spirit of God not only come from outside sources but many times they simply come down to one thing our own lack of faith in truly trusting God.

  When we do not  know how to trust in God it is natural for us in the flesh to place our trust in what we have instead of learning to understand what we are missing. We can witness this lack of trust in our relationships, in our careers, and unfortunately even in the church. Spiritually Satan likes us to have doubts in others because he knows that when we show our doubts then this will spread to others by planting a negative seed in the spirit of Satan instead of the positive seed of God in the Holy Spirit that can produce future fruit.

 Have you ever worked under someone that did not understand how to reach certain goals in life because they were too scared of losing their own position? Have you ever been around someone that would not give their all because they were too scared of someone else leaving them behind? Have you ever experienced someone that tried to hold you back because they did not want to see you succeed? Or, have you ever just not made that step of faith because of your own internal doubts? This is exactly how Satan works in this world because he does not want us to move forward in the freedom of Christ and he wants us to be restricted just as he. 

 The Lord gave us principles to follow in order to maintain the foundation in the direction which God provides. But far too often we allow Satan to limit us to what can be achieved because of our own fears or of our own selfish pride. When we allow Satan to spiritually hold us back then we create a negative chain reaction that holds back others. And, if we are not careful during this suppression to recognize what is taking place in our own lack of trust in God then this can lead to a form of rebellion that can cause a division within our relationships, our careers, and sadly even in the body of Christ.

  The object in life is to learn how to work together in the spirit of God not only to build something for our children’s future but in order to maintain the foundation from which we have been given. It is imperative as we mature to be on the lookout for those that God is raising up in our youth to carry on what God has already began. This same principle applies not only in the church but also in our careers to insure the logevity of what God has given for our children’s future. When we overlook this vital principle in the chain of life is when we often restrict others from the blessings that God provides in order to help carry us forward. God gives us children to carry on our family heritage, and God raises up men and women to reach new levels in life through the love of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, we often miss these blessings because we don’t know how to pass on what God has given because we fail to release our temporary control in order to maintain the momentum in the spirit of God.

 I challenge you today to let go of what could be holding you back and learn to trust in God for the end results by giving your all in everything you do. Don’t allow Satan to misguide you spiritually into thinking that you can’t improve something when you can and don’t allow someone else to hold you back when all you have to do is trust in God and believe. This world is full of diversions to remove our focus from what God has given and until we learn to just trust in Him we will only continue to miss the blessings that He has before us…amen 

 A true leader is one that uplifts others rather than trying to only maintain something for themselves…

There Is No Hope Without God

May 8, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 It is very easy to become discouraged when we look around and see everything that is being shown in this world. Everywhere we look we see earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, and people crying out in need with others so focused on themselves that they have fallen into greed. This world is at a pivotal point that is going to have a deep impact on our children if we do not learn to trust in God instead of leaning upon man. 

 There isn’t a home, a city, a state, nor a nation that is not feeling the judgement of God that is taking place around the world because of our lack of obedience in His Word and keeping Him in front of our lives. It is imperative to recall that judgement of God does not mean that He is inflicting our pains because we are the ones who have brought this upon ourselves by following our own desires instead of following the Lords will.

 Sometimes in life with children when they continue to disobey we have to allow something to take place in order for our children to receive the lesson that needs to be learned in correction for their future. This is where many people want to place blame on God or on something else because they fail to recognize how we are all accountable for our own actions.

 Throughout the Word of God in the Holy Bible we are taught to count it joy when trials come our way because this only means that something better is on the way when we learn to trust in God rather than falling into despair. Satan has been steadily at work since the very beginning of time in deceiving us to rely on ourselves rather than learning to be patient in growth that helps us to properly develop in our maturity.

 Spiritually Satan wants us to focus on the world rather than staying focused on God because he knows how weak we are in the flesh and how easily we can become distracted from the love of God that is given in the family. When we maintain our relationships with God at the head of our lives there is a security that we receive in the love that is given. Not only do we receive comfort in the family of God but we also receive peace in our spirit because we know that whatever happens in our lives that the true love in the family of God will never fail us even when we fall.

 There is no question that America along with other nations around the world are going to continue their downward spiral unless we repent and return to the Lord. Man cannot fix the problems that we have put into place due to the years that it has taken for all of this to build into what we are now facing today. Our only hope is in God and until we begin to seek Him for our direction and learn to trust in Him for the outcome our trials will only get worse.

 God allows us to go through certain things in our lives in order for us to learn how to depend on Him and for us to grow stronger for our children’s future. Each one of us are going through something either directly or indirectly and it is our purpose to never give up or lose hope no matter what we have to face. God will give us the strength that we need when we depend on Him rather than relying on ourselves and when we learn to act in true love with one another in the family of God we will be amazed at what can take place in the Spirit of the Lord. 

 Always know that God is still in control and He protects us even when we don’t understand everything that may be happening around us. We must learn to trust in God’s protection and deliverance by maintaining our integrity throughout tough situations to always do what is right by Him instead of only thinking about ourselves. So no matter how hopeless something may seem or how much we may want to give up we need to always recall that God is in control of the world and when we do our parts the Lord will always do His…amen

 For our God is a faithful and forgiving God that specializes in bringing His people back to Him through the love of Jesus Christ…

With God All Things Are Possible

May 7, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Don’t ever think that something can’t be done because the task is too big or the problems are too great! With this type of mindset we are already giving victory to Satan and doubting the Power of God. It is in our human nature to shy away from major problems because we don’t want to put forth the effort that it requires to overcome the issues that we may have to face.

 When we learn to rely on God instead of ourselves amazing things can take place that the world may say is impossible. The Lord specializes in things that we don’t see and all we have to do is learn how to truly believe. The object to moving mountains is in our belief and then learning to take them on one step at a time. I challenge you to learn how to trust in God and commit yourself to improve something in your life that will in turn improve something in someone else’s…amen

Think Before You Strike

May 3, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 How we handle things can affect someone beyond our imagination and often we don’t think of the future outcome because we become so wrapped up in our own emotions. It is vital that we think before we act and seek God for the proper direction whether it has immediate results or results that will come in the future. The Lord Jesus taught us to be wise as serpents but gentle as a dove and this is a very wise lesson to apply in our lives for our children’s future.

 When a snake moves it listens in the direction which it travels and it is attentive to the environment which it is in.  As it moves in its freedom the snake doesn’t stand until it faces confrontation and this is where we need to learn from the love of a dove instead of taking matters into our own hands. Because if we are not careful in our emotions and we strike as that snake without trusting God for the outcome then we could be the one with our own heads on the platter because we did not properly act  when all we had to do is listen.

 I challenge you commit yourself in seeking God for His direction in your spirit and allow the Lord to guide your footsteps of the future…amen

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…
