A Clean Heart…

by 1 Comment

 In Matthew 6 Jesus teaches us about forgiveness. He says in verse 14,” For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Due to the lack of teaching on this Word of Truth from Jesus many people have fallen into a state of spiritual prison. What they don’t realize is that the longer someone carries unforgiveness then this begins to restrict the blood flow within the heart. For the longer we restrict the Truth the harder and more restricted our hearts become.

 Our Heavenly Father loves each of us as we love our children and what parent does not forgive their child but only a parent who does not know how to love their child. If there is anyone in your life that is causing you bitterness due to some wrong that was done learn to be set free by trusting God and forgiving that individual. As Jesus said on the cross,”Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.”

Are You In A Box?

by Leave a Comment

 Throughout each day that we are given the Lord will place something in our spirit whether in a good thought for a shared word or in a gentle nudge to move into action. When we learn to act upon the spiritual guidance of God without questioning His Word or allowing our rituals of life to interfere with His direction is when our spirit will come to life due to learning to mature in the love of Jesus Christ.

 The Lord does not live in a box and nor should we!!! When we simply do not do as the Lord directs then our disobedience can develop a spiritual prison around our lives. People walk around everyday in the wilderness complaining, wishing they had more or upset due to someone else finding the Way but when we learn to focus on nothing else but on the direction of God is when we will step out of our spiritual prison to experience life like never before….

School Of Experience…

by Leave a Comment

 When calamity forces you to examine your life take a close look at God’s instructions and be willing to humbly apply what you find there.  To fail to learn from our failure is to assure future failure and our past can be a school of experience. For we will find that our past mistakes will point us to God’s way and we will discover God’s peace when we truly learn to stop and listen…amen

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. Isaiah 55:8

Faith During The Storm…

by Leave a Comment

 Storms come and go in our life and some storms have life changing affects. We might not always know why the storms come while some happen because we bring them upon ourselves. It is during the storms of our life that we can easily see our maturity in Christ based upon how we stand. Through every storm when we learn to lift up our hands to God is when He will show us the Way.

 Storms can help us to strengthen our faith and they are to remind us of who is in control. Spiritually Satan wants us to focus on the storm where Jesus tells us to stay focused on what is on the other side. It is our place to walk in faith without fear or without arguing or complaining while simply trusting in God to bring us through.

 Please join me in prayer that God will give strength to every family that has suffered a loss and that this country will open up their eyes to the Truth. It is when we don’t learn during the storms of our life that they tend to come back again and may God have mercy on this nation once again to show His Mighty Glory…Amen

 This song by Casting Crowns titled Praise You In The Storm helped my wife and I through our tornadoes in life. May it help some of you as it has helped us…

                        Psalm 23

 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he Leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Right Your Wrongs…

by Leave a Comment

   Have you ever faced a decision or a situation when you knew what the right thing to do was but you chose to do different? Can you recall the weight of conviction after your wrong actions? Those who have been born again are seized by deep conviction when they sin. If they do not repent they are always “spanked” by God for it. Is this true in your life? Have you ever been spanked? Are you under conviction now? Do you pass the family test?

 Way too many times we allow our pride to miss the blessings of the Lord due to simply not taking responsibility for our wrong actions. As any loving parent speaking to their child it starts as a gentle voice then elevates from there as the child continues to disobey. The object is to recognize the Voice of Truth in our spirit without allowing the conviction to become so heavy that we become blind to what God is trying to teach us. This is where Satan loves to get us spiritually because the deeper we fall the harder it is to pick ourselves back up.

  It is my sincere prayer that if you are living under conviction for unrepentant sin that you will step up to the plate to bring what is right out of your wrongs. What matters most, how you look before man or how you look before God? Maybe you are simply under conviction for not attending fellowship or not obeying God’s Word. If so, I pray that you will step up to the plate and learn to face the truth in order to allow the love of Jesus to set you free…Amen
 
Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin…James 4:17

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…
