Work In The Light For Others To See The Way

by Leave a Comment

 There are times in life that it will seem unfair and there are times in life that it will seem as if you will have to do all the work. It is in these times that we should never allow ourselves to become spiritually discouraged by Satan when he is working through others to rob us of the joy we have. All Satan wants is for us to be unhappy and to feel as if every time we start something that it is going to fail. When we allow Satan to cause us to feel this way then we are doing nothing but giving victory to Satan instead of claiming the victory that we already have been given through the love of Jesus Christ.

 Instead of getting mad and carrying internal frustrations learn how to handle them in love in order to accomplish what needs to be done. It is when we bottle up our frustrations that Satan tries to get us to act out in our emotions in order to possibly cause a division in our relationships in life. These spiritual frustrations that can build up in us will often cause us to be snappy at one another and cause us to just become unhappy where we are. 

 I challenge you today to enjoy the work that you have in the love of Jesus Christ and go the extra mile without worrying about the extra work that needs to be done. God will give you everything you need and it should be our prayer that as we walk in the light that others will begin to come out of the darkness by the example that we are in order to lead them to Jesus Christ…amen

Make A Positive Difference

by 1 Comment

 Many people become unhappy where they are because they miss what it takes to make something better and overlook the lesson to be learned in what guided their steps to where they may be. Wherever we are in life whether were in the pits or on top of the world God wants us to understand that it is up to each one of us individually to make a positive difference in our lives that will in turn make a positive difference in someone else’s.

 So many times in life nothing gets done because we don’t want go through the extra work that it might require to improve the situation. I challenge you today to not sit around wishing that something was better because it is solely up to you to make a positive difference in everday that God has given…amen

Don’t Be Spiritually Robbed By Satan

by 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

by 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…

We Are All Important In The Kingdom Of God

by Leave a Comment

 One of the hardest things to learn in life is learning to be patient and appreciate whatever position that we are in. So many people waste their life away not appreciating where they are because they are always looking for something else beyond what they already have. Life is not about challenging one another but learning to add value to each others life by learning to work together rather than on our own. Every single position in life relies on another position and it is when we neglect this fact that we need to take a step back to really understand our position.

 Where would a doctor be without patients? Where would the teachers be without students? Where would the employer be without the employees? Where would the business be without the customers? Where would the car be without the fuel? Where would the flower be without the bird to spread its seed? Where would the earth be without the sun? Or, where would we be without Jesus coming here to teach us how to be one?

 Until we learn that every single part in life is just as important as the next and begin to work together as one we will only continue to miss what we already have. I challenge you to slow down and appreciate today for what it is rather than focusing on tomorrow and missing something that you  have been given.

  Until we can learn to be affective where are why would we honestly expect God to take us somewhere else?

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…
