Repentance Brings Restoration

March 5, 2011 by admin 2 Comments

Throughout the Instruction of God that was delivered through Moses to help us and guide us to reach the promises of our Father in Heaven above we learn how to maintain what we have been given by God and how to keep our perspective without allowing the things of this world to knock us off course. Without our foundation being anchored by God our homes and our nation are vulnerable to the spiritual snares and traps of Satan.

It is easy to see how America has lost it’s flame that it once carried due to separating itself from the Eternal source. Fortunately there are still some coals where the fire once burned. If we do not learn how to come together without division and learn how to serve with order then we might as well prepare for what is sure to come. There is a much higher purpose in why we are here and if we do not repent as a nation for our national sin then we will only continue to deteriate from within.

Judgement is upon us due to our disobedience as a nation and there is a spirit of Pharisee that is blinding our leaders and suppressing the spirit of God! This suppression is soon to be overcome because man is no match for our living God! Once this fresh anointing reaches the coals and the embers begin to unite is when the spiritual revival will ignite!

Without our nation returning to God with repentance and turning from our evil ways America’s days are numbered. The only Way for us to be restored is to return to God and to begin to address the roots of our problems for our countries future. The longer we avoid this Truth the further we will fall and the chances of recovery will be slim to none.

It is easy to patch our problems with money or with fake smiles but until we learn to face the Truth and trust in God for our answers then we are only fooling ourselves in the spiritual snares of Satan. The answers to our problems are simple and the only reason they get complexed is because we try to fix them without seriously addressing them! Sometimes in life we have to just cut to the bone in love in order to get rid of the infection. Once the infection is addressed it is our place to allow God to do the healing as we take heed to His Word.

The time is right before us and it is my sincere prayer that every reader grabs hold of this message and helps spread the fire in God’s Word! The fire of God does not burn the bush to ashes but it shows us how He is the One that keeps us alive and carries us forward….Amen

Therefore take careful heed to yourselves, that you love the LORD your God. Or else, if indeed you do go back, and cling to the remnant of these nations—these that remain among you—and make marriages with them, and go in to them and they to you, know for certain that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. But they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the LORD your God has given you. Joshua 23

The Rise or Fall of America

February 5, 2011 by admin 1 Comment

This message is for The United States of America as a whole and should be applied in the wisdom of God to every home in order to maintain what we have been given. There is a historical cycle in life that proves this message without any room for debate in what takes place when we drift away from the obedience of God and begin to live with our own selfish ambitions.

Due to the drift away from the wisdom of God in the Holy Bible and the instruction that the Lord gives each one of us to maintain our homes this has opened the door for the spiritual enemy to slowly weaken the foundation that is to be maintained by His people. The spiritual enemy works in many different ways to distract the people in the temptations of foods, material gains, lust of the flesh, positions of power and many other ways of distraction simply to cause a division. With divisions within the body of our core beliefs this only makes us vulnerable for the attack of our enemies in order to learn another lesson in how we can fall. Many people fail to see how the Lord allows oppression to fall upon His people in order to discipline us for our lack of obedience and to realign our focus from the world back to our Creator in Heaven above.

America is at historical point of either a revival that is going raise up men and women of God that are willing stand for what is right in our homes and in our nation or at a point of further division that is going to eventually lead to the destruction of our country. Without men and women working together with the integrity of Christian values to address the over sized government, reckless spending, corporate greed, legalized murder through abortions, immigration and the addicted nation that we are in then we better prepare for what is sure to come. Based upon the will of God and the national stand of the people in how we open up our eyes to the Truth in the Word of God will determine the strength in our foundation from which we stand in the love of Jesus Christ that holds us all together. Many homes and historical empires lost sight of this principle that eventually led to their collapse.

Like in the fall of the Roman Empire you will find that their quest for power led them into a socialist culture in trying to simply appease the people by being naive to the importance of a core religion which eventually led to their fall. Why did the Roman government make this decision in appeasing the people with their beliefs? Simply due to their desire of power, greed and then due their state of survival. The leadership in Rome during their deterioration never grasped the principle of how to maintain the integrity within their foundation in having core beliefs to maintain the order. The Romans thought they could hold things together through a larger government that eventually absorbed all the nutrients within their empire which led to their collapse.

If you were to look at the direction of America today you would honestly find the same misdirected leadership in our country that is trying to appease the people to maintain their political positions and their false thinking that money is the answer to our internal problems. America like Rome and every other nation that tries to impose their way of life on others only opens the doors for spiritual friction that will eventually lead to war. As God teaches us in His wisdom we are to maintain our homes by learning to stand on the principles of God without becoming complacent in His Word. Our founding fathers of The United States of America knew this importance and they recognized the dangers of a nation that drifts away from their Christian faith.

      President Thomas Jefferson: “God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?”
     President Andrew Jackson called the Bible; “The Rock upon which our republic rests.”
     President John Adams said; “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.”
    Patrick Henry said, “It is when a people forget God, that tyrants forge their chains.”
    George Washington said; “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.”
    President Ronald Reagan once said,”If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”

Now, here is the part of this message that I pray that America hears in order to maintain the foundation for our children’s future and for preparation of what is sure to come if we continue the national drift away from our Christian foundation. The United States of America as a whole is a home that is no different than my own on an individual level. Through my fore fathers it has been been built on specific principles that parallel Joshua 24:15 to maintain the strength within its’ foundation. I like the leaders in the Roman Empire and like many of our American leaders today once fell into the wrong thinking that I could fix my problems with money without truly addressing the roots of the issue at hand. My own ignorance to the Word of God and rebellion led me into a state of survival that eventually had to fall in order to stand again.

This is where I praise God for giving me the chance to live again in His mercy and grace! I pray that every father and leader within this nation will begin to address the issues that they are trying to avoid to eliminate the depth of the fall. Too many times we think we can fix something when we are not the ones who can fix anything!

Regarding leadership in America I pray that God will raise up leaders that will stand in faith in serving Him instead of trying to appease the people. It is not our place as a true Christian to force our beliefs on another nation nor is right for anyone else to enter into our house of America and try to change our ways in return. The rise and fall of homes and nations is all determined on who we serve and how obedient we are to God’s Word. Have we gone too far? Is it too late for the point of return? Only God knows the answers to these two questions but according to His Word in which still stands today we are told in 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

As long as we have breath then there is hope and the outcome is determined by the hand of God in the decisions that we make! Are you willing to make a positive difference and learn to stand on the principles of God for our children’s future? Don’t ever be misled and think that we are not accountable for our actions! For God is real and in full control of everything from Heaven to Earth. We are here to serve Him and not ourselves! So, please recognize the positive difference that you can make at your own dinner table by learning to trust in God instead of relying upon our government or on another man…Amen

Are You Listening For God?

January 11, 2011 by admin 2 Comments

Throughout history God has spoken in mighty ways through nature to get our attention and to display His Holy power from flooding the earth, speaking through the burning bush, sending plagues, parting the seas, and through a donkey to deliver a message to you and me. The Lord speaks to us in many ways through signs and wonders everyday but as we learn with Elijah that these signs and wonders are there to get our attention and for us to learn how to listen.

1 Kings 19 “Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

Learning to listen for God requires us to hear His Words that are placed upon our hearts and God speaks to us everyday but as we learn in Job 33 that we often miss what is right at our feet because we have fallen asleep to the Word of God. Are you awake? Are you listening for God? Are you seeing the signs of the times? Are you sure that you are following God and not being misled spiritually by Satan?

It is very wise to slow down at times to insure the steps that we are taking without allowing Satan deceive us in our emotions. For all Satan wants is for us to jump before we are ready. Are you ready? Can you hear that still small voice? If you want to hear God then simply be still and listen….

Allow God To Direct Your Steps…

December 11, 2010 by admin 2 Comments

Learning to walk in faith requires trusting God and allowing Him to direct the path that we take. As a child of God it is imperative to recognize that we will be attacked spiritually by Satan through individuals that try to guide our actions because they neglect how to examine our motives to insure that they line up with the Word of God. It is in our human nature to try and shape someone for what we think we see but it is wise to recall the Creator and what He teaches us in how to trust and believe.

We learn this lesson with Jesus and Peter in (Mat 16:23 KJV) “But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.”

See Peter did not want to hear what Jesus had to say nor did he want Jesus to face what He knew would come but Jesus followed God and addressed the evil spirit of selfish desires that was guiding Peter. Throughout history God has raised men and women to serve the good of mankind instead of only caring about themselves and these individuals were given a drive that many could never understand. For instance no one believed Noah nor understood the drive he had until it was too late. What about the resistance that Nehemiah encountered when he had a deep burden from God for his homeland? What about our founding Fathers who left Great Britain in seeking freedom for our children today? How about Martin Luther King Jr. when he wanted everyone to be treated equal in spite of the color of their skin? Or, how about the drive and strength of Rosa Parks who decided to make a stand?

As we are spiritually driven in this world it is wise for us to know the Word of God to help us insure the steps that are taken along with the objectives in properly serving the people. It is wise to examine every spiritual push that we encounter to the Word of God to help us insure the the right motives that are behind our actions. For Satan is very clever and deceptive to deceive us in our decisions for he never wants to see Gods children being set free.

This is why it is so important for us to know the Word of God and to teach this to our children to develop their own discernment between good and evil. Spiritually Satan works diligently in our emotions because he knows how we often allow our emotions to misguide our actions. Our emotions are very dangerous and can even be misleading due to the way we feel especially when we are pushed for time. This is why it is so vital before we act to take days or even years in prayer with God to examine the drive the decisions we make are being led by the Lord.

On the other side of the coin of waiting is another area in which Satan spiritually works as well. He places fear and doubts before us that often cause us to never make that step of faith in trusting God. For instance Satan spiritually works very close inbetween a child and his father because he knows the longer the father holds out the more discouraged the son can become and this often leads to rebellion when the child does not understand the obedience and self discipline that is taught in the Word of God. This lesson is taught in 2 Corinthians 2:11 in the warning Paul gave us to not allow Satan to spiritually outsmart us in his evil schemes.

The Lord gives each one of us a different drive and heartfelt dream in order to serve His purpose and not our own. Unfortunately, many people that never develop a relationship with the Lord allow this dream to be suppressed spiritually by Satan due to the weight of the world and the discouragement of others that don’t understand who is guiding their actions. Then there are many that use their drive and the wisdom that God has given to uplift themselves instead of learning the importance of how to maintain success in God’s glory for their childrens’ future.

Success is another area that Satan works diligently in to intervene within us today as he did with Job in the Holy Bible. For Satan knows how easy it is for us to lose our perspective and raise ourselves up when we begin to focus on the blessings that come in our obedience to our Father in Heaven. Staying dependant upon God is crucial to understand because it is so easy as it was for Job to become self reliant on the blessings of prosperity instead of staying humble in the family of God.

Staying humble is vital to maintaining the positions that the Lord gives us without allowing the spirit of pride and arrogance to take us down. Many people miss this lesson in life because they simply don’t seek the will of God and they forget who is really in control. Spiritual resistance is something that we all encounter everyday whether in nature, in our homes, in our schools, in our work environments, in our country and unfortunately even in the church. The object is to know how to react in allowing the Lord to guide us through His Holy Spirit instead of allowing Satan to misguide us spiritually in our actions.

So the next time you encounter someone with a drive or hear one of your children speaking of their dreams ask them these questions and learn to trust God for the end results. For we should never under estimate the Power of God in serving the people;

Why do you feel led to pursue this ambition?

Is it coming from your heart or is it coming from a personal desire?

Have you prayed about this drive with the Lord and compared it to the Word of God?

What do you see being accomplished if you were to achieve your goal?

Do you know how to insure that something is of God by allowing Him to put together while you just do the work that is required each day that He gives?

There are many other questions that can be asked without trying to squash someones drive or dreams and once we hear their answers it is our place to help instead of tearing them down. Spiritually Satan wants to tear down what God tries to raise up in us for the good of others and the next time you encounter a spiritual push recognize where it comes from to maintain the motives of God instead of man…Amen

Are You Ready For The Storm Ahead?

December 4, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

The time is right before us that the spiritual bondage of Satan is going to be shaken! There is a movement coming that is going to roll like thunder, twist like tornadoes and blow like the wind due to the movement of God. During this time of God’s movement there will be a large resistance from the darkness of the world but Jesus says,” Have faith as a mustard seed in trusting God and the waves will not overtake your ship.”

Everyday we encounter barometric changes within our spiritual being that can affect our state of mind unless we are anchored to the cross of Jesus Christ. Without knowing how to trust God when changes come our way we often allow Satan to spiritually enter our minds because we simply don’t understand what is taking place. This often causes us to feel as if we are losing control due to looking for answers in the physical instead of recognizing what is taking place in the spiritual. At this stage of change and lack of understanding it can be a good thing because then we are learning how to deepen our faith in simply trusting God by letting go of whatever is holding us back to be shaped in the hands of our Creator.

Why is it that we have fear when storms or change are in the horizon? Is it because we are not prepared or is it simply because we are not anchored in Christ? To be anchored we must embed ourselves in the Word of God for our roots to be entrenched in the depths of our foundation and locked to the Rock of Jesus Christ. As changes occur in the atmosphere they also occur in our spirits between one another until we learn how to love each other for who God has set us out to be.

Storms can occur in our spirits when we allow something to brew over time due to our lack of communication in love or when we allow another spirit of darkness to fight with the light of Jesus Christ. Often spiritual storms can be avoided if we would just learn to be humble and receptive to hear God’s Word. The longer we contain the spirit within us without learning how to let it flow in the love of God this causes the pressure to build until the point of release. The object is learning how to release in the love of God without allowing the pressure of our emotions to misguide our actions as Moses did when he struck the rock.

As one cloud unites with another cloud without knowing how to release the rain a storm can build to a point that can be as destructive as a hurricane. This same principle takes place in our spirits when we unite with others due to the momentum that is gained when the spirits join together as clouds just before a rain. When united in Christ we stand in love but if we allow our emotions and fears to mislead our actions then we get tossed around in the winds of the world. Can you see the relation to the tears that we hold back from our internal pains or from the tears that come when the Truth is being held back in the Word of God? Or, can you see the Power in the spirit of God that is gained when we learn how to unite in the love of God with respect for each part of the body in obedience to God’s Word?

There is unity, harmony, strength and security in the spirit of God when we learn to join together in the unconditional love of our Father in Heaven. For as long as we allow our spirits to question everything that is taking place without trusting the Lord daily for our direction then the atmosphere in which we live in will feel pressured and uncertain. Holding back the spirit within us can be dangerous until we learn how to let it go and turn it over to our Father in Heaven above. Not only is it dangerous when we hold back our trust in God but it also restricts us from moving forward to where the Lord wants to take us in the inner peace of His Kingdom.

The Word of God tells us not to suppress the spirit of the Lord and for us to develop our senses through the Word of God. It is important to recognize the differences between the love of God that falls like a gentle mist and the storms that build due to our lack of understanding how to release in His love. There is alot that can be learned in the wisdom of nature and the atmospheric pressures of this world when we open our eyes and ears to hear the Spirit of the Lord. God still speaks today in ways that we often miss because we simply don’t know how to listen…I can hear that thunder in a distance, can you? There is a train coming and we can feel it in the trembling of our bones as it is coming around the bend…Amen
