Stay Encouraged!!!

February 14, 2012 by admin 6 Comments

Have you ever noticed how easy it is for us in our human nature to become complacent, feel stuck or simply give up? There are times in life that we either want to quit due to the climb or we become discouraged due to the obstacles in our path. Many times this occurs due to witnessing the lack of faith in others or for simply listening to the discouragement in someone else. But when we learn to change our focus from the world and then place our eyes & ears upon the Promises of God then He will ignite the fire that carries us forward as we learn to trust & obey.

The object is knowing that we are on the path that He leads and recognizing that this life is not a bed of roses. There is a reason and a purpose for the wilderness in life to teach and help prepare us for the destination ahead. May you be encouraged today to go the extra mile and to stay focused on the Promises of God!!!

“And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.” Philippians 1:6

Let Freedom Ring…

January 22, 2012 by admin 6 Comments

This morning as I walked out on our screened porch for morning prayer I noticed a sparrow that had slipped in through one little hole within the screen. This happens from time to time due to not addressing the hole within the screen. In order to repair the hole correctly it is going to involve the alot of work that requires time and if we were to patch the screen this would only bring further work due to not being done correctly.

As far as the little sparrow he was not flying wildly within the porch but would just hop from place to place along the floor. The sparrow did not see the door when it was opened due to the screen blending in with nature. So I did what I have done in the past by propping the door open and then walking in behind the bird for him to move on his own toward the freedom from the screened in porch. In the past I have done this and rather enjoyed watching the birds (which I now recall have always been sparrows) being set free to observe their next actions in flight. Some fly out and simply sit on the outside rail. Some fly just a little ways and perch on the branch of a tree but this morning there was something different about this little sparrow.

He paused for a moment once he found the door but then he took off flying through the woods and into the valley behind our home. I could here him chirping and and calling out to other birds in his excitement of being set free. The chirps echoed through the valley as he flew through the trees. As I listened to the call of the sparrow that had been set free I then heard this message that relates to you and me.

Recognize the significance of not addressing  the hole and what happens when we try to patch our problems. Another point the Lord was teaching me was how the screen blended in with the world. This is a very important point to recognize. The screen was almost invisible and made by man but was there holding back the bird from flight and it took the help of another to step behind rather than in front to assist the sparrow along the Way.

The part that touched me the most was the chirping of the sparrow that had been set free. As I stood there on the porch listening to the bird that had been released from the bondage of something made by man it was then that God gave me this spiritual message that relates to His overall plan. The Lord then opened my eyes of futher freedom that can related to the formation of America in which we stand. For in our freedom it should ring from the hill tops and echo through the valleys for all to hear. Because there is nothing like the freedom in knowing that God is near.

Enjoy this song Let Freedom Ring as I pray that you will stand with me in the freedom that God has given us through His only Son that got behind each of us for our freedom today. The spiritual door is open and all we have to do is walk on through as Jesus has taught us the Way. I pray that we can learn from our past in order to stand in the love of Jesus for our future…Amen

Share Your Testimonies…

August 9, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Can you recall a time where you experienced the love of God and it dramatically affected your life? Have you ever been in a circumstance that seemed like a living hell and the hand of God deliver you? These times in our life are testimonies of what the power of God can do when we truly cry out and seek for His deliverance through the love of Jesus Christ. It is important to recall that we don’t need to know all the answers to share Christ with others and God did not deliver us for us to keep our mouths shut.

We should be sharing with others what God has brought us from and how He has changed our life. Don’t worry about not having all the answers but learn to trust that God will use your words to help others believe in Him, too. This teaches others where to look by seeking the Lord for the answers they need to overcome their downfalls in life. Please enjoy this video link http://www.godtube.com/watch/?v=K7LK67NX  on Cardboard testimonies and may it inspire you to share yours…

Evaluate Your Foundation…

July 19, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever noticed how certain things continue to reoccur in our paths and how we can’t seem to get away from them? Have you ever considered that the reason that they continue to come up is simply because Satan knows how you will fall? Every time we stumble or fall we should be recognizing what took us down in order to stand again. 

 It is within this process that we learn the importance of recognition and then God’s application to purge out everything that is wrong for simply what is right. We learn this lesson with Job for there was something in his life that needed to be purged even though he was a good and blameless man. Satan did not use the same tactic due to Job’s faithfulness to God but this discipline that came upon Job was there for a reason which is discovered in chapter 32. 

 Once Job received the Truth and learned his lesson is when he stood again and with more blessings than before. We all have lessons in life and it is how we learn to apply what we learn to the foundation in which we stand under God and then God will bless us once again…

Breaking The Repetitive Cycles…

July 18, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Cycles in life are repetitive until we learn to look within the patterns and then allow God to show us the Way. For if we continue to face a repetitive issue then there is a reason it continues to appear. The object is to break through without any fears.
 Why would Satan want to use another tactic to hold us back when the very one he has before us is working? May every person that reads this message have a break through and grow deeper in the well. We serve an awesome God that only wants us to discover His Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven.

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…
