Communicate In Love…

by Leave a Comment

 Why is it so hard for us to take time out of our day to compliment or encourage one another? It is very easy to take what we have forgranted until it is gone, and then we look back with regrets for the times that we took forgranted.

  Satan wants us to lose touch in this life because he knows how it will rob us in the next. Learning to communicate in love for one another helps us to strengthen our relationships and it allows us to hear how God is working in our lives so we can help encourage each other along the way. It is easy to become discouraged when others won’t listen but this is never a time to give up! This is when we learn to trust God and continue going the extra mile in everything we do because this teaches our children how to live in this world. I challenge you today to not hold back what needs to be said and learn how to communicate in love in everything you do to allow the love of Jesus to shine through…amen

Often in life our problems arise not from what has been said but from what has not been spoken…

An Excuse Only Leads To Another Excuse…

by 2 Comments

 Prayer must have a vital place in our lives, but there is also a place for action. Sometimes we know what what to do, but we pray for more guidance as an excuse to postpone what needs to be done. It is very easy to put off something when we don’t want to face the truth and this is how Satan holds us back because he knows how weak we are when we allow things to pile up on us.

 The object in this life is to seek God for our daily direction and make positive steps forward while trusting in Him to reach our goals. I challenge you today to not put off what you know in your heart that needs to be done and learn to trust in God to bring things together. It is our place to do the work and the longer we put something off then the harder we will have to work to overcome our issues at hand.

 We all have detours in life when we allow Satan to throw us off track but the objective in every detour is to learn where we got lost so we can find the Way back…amen

Teach Your Children Who To Lean On…

by Leave a Comment

 It is important to tell our children about God’s work in our past and to help them see what He has brought us through. What are the turning points in your life where God intervened? What is God doing for you now? Don’t be ashamed of where you have been but be strengthened for what God has brought you through. “It is the wisdom gained in our failures that give us success in the future.”

 Your life stories will form the foundations of your children’s belief in God and teach them where to turn when trials come their way. The last thing any loving parent should ever want is for there child to feel all alone and not know where to turn. This is why God our Father in Heaven sent His only begotten Son because He he loved each of us so much that He wanted to show us the Way back home. The Word of God warns us of our human weaknesses and teaches us how to pick ourselves up when we have been knocked down. The way we walk in this life is an example of who we serve and our children need to know where to turn when we are gone…amen

Make A Positive Step Forward…

by 2 Comments

 If God was to appear to you today and ask you these two questions how would you honestly reply, “Are you happy with your life and being productive with what you have been given? Or, are you always searching for something else rather than appreciating what you have?” 

 It is imperative to recognize why something may not be working  in order for us to go the extra mile to improve our situation. The Lord Jesus plainly tells us that we can not serve two masters and this can apply to many different aspects of life.  If all we do is look at what we don’t have then how can we honestly appreciate what we do have?

 If there is something in your life that you would like to see improve then seek God in prayer to show you what needs to be done and be willing to commit yourself to see it through. So many times people give up when they look at the total issue because they don’t know how to trust God and take it one day at a time. I challenge you today to set goals in every aspect of your life and learn how to make a positive step forward one day at a time…amen

Stay Focused & Never Give Up!!!

by Leave a Comment

 In life it is very easy to speak when we know the answer and it is in our human nature to raise ourselves up to something that we might not be ready for. This is how Satan works because he wants us to jump before the time in our youth rather than waiting and trusting in God for His timing instead of our own. Have you ever made a decision and then realized you were not ready? Or, have you ever made a decision that failed but then as you walked on in life the Lord brought it back to you again?

  Just because we might not succeed the first time, the second or the third does not mean that we are to ever give up!!!  It just means that we need to just learn how to trust God in His timing instead of our own and learn from our falls to one day climb again but much wiser and stronger than before.

  I challenge you today and every other day to learn from your falls to see what you could have possibly been missing to insure your steps in the future. We all stumble at times when we get caught up in the climb and lose sight of the foundation from which we stand…amen

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…
