Make Godly Decisions

by 2 Comments

 Making a life changing decision is not something that should be rushed nor made without seeking Godly council to help us insure the steps that we take. So many times we allow our emotions to misguide us in our decisions due to the temptations of our own desires that eventually have a negative impact on someone else.

 To simplify our decisions without over complicating our answers we should ask ourselves this question,”Is this decision being led by God?” If we can answer this question without hesitation and acknowledge the commitment that we are making then we are on the Way to something better in building something for someone else rather than ourselves.

 Often when we hesitate in our decisions it is because we are unsure and we have not taken the proper time in seeking the council of God to insure the steps that we take. This is why our divorce rate is so high in America and children are without their parents due to parents acting in their emotions without thinking about the future. It is vital that we take the time to seek God before we make changes that can affect the future. For if our decisions only serve our self then we are making the wrong that will eventually hurt someone else…

 Jesus taught us to look beyond what we see to hear what needs to be heard to insure the steps that we take…

Are You In Tune With God?

by Leave a Comment

 Why is it that we tend to act so surprised when something changes in our life? This does not mean that some changes don’t come swiftly but if we are honest when we look at different things that take place there are usually signs that precede the action. The Lord tells us in Job 38:36 that God gives us our intuition to the heart and that He gives us our instinct to the mind but we tend to override the guidance of God due to our own negligence and sinful nature.

 The problem is that when we drift away from God and forget how to listen that we often neglect the senses that He has given us to stay in tune within the environment in which we are in.  Staying in tune with God helps us to be alert and aware of our surroundings and it also helps us to maintain what He has given. Are you aware of your surroundings or are you so caught up in everything else that you can’t even feel the water at your feet? Don’t allow Satan to spiritually cause you to miss what God has right before you and learn to grow where you have been planted to increase the yield in your harvest…amen

 For life is a beautiful thing, when we learn how to receive God’s rain…

Are You Ready For Change?

by Leave a Comment

 Have your ever noticed when change comes our way there are always disruptions that tend to brew in our spirits? Think about it; What happens in the weather patterns when the barometric pressure changes? Have you ever noticed the larger the change the bigger the storm? The same thing happens in our lives from our homes and in our careers when change comes our way.

  The object is during the inevitable times of change to be rooted in where we stand with God and learn to trust in Him to get us through. Storms that come from change are good for us because they tend to test our faith and deepen our roots in the Lord. The unfortunate side of changes that occur is how others that don’t know how to handle the storms tend to lose their direction when they are not anchored in the Word of God and they allow themselves to get blown away.

 Whenever you feel as if you can’t hold on or when you see storms coming your way learn to keep your eye on the cross and allow Jesus to show you the Way. We all tend to want to run in a storm but some storms we simply have to learn how to stand…amen

The Truth In Spiritual Warfare

by 1 Comment

  This post is a little deep for those that have fallen asleep but to those with the eyes to see they will recognize this Truth and continue to believe. Since the formation of this country here in America spiritually Satan has been at work to regain the control that he once had from our foreign nations. It is wise to recognize one simple fact and that is that Satan does not want us to be free due to the prison that he is in.

 The United States Of America has been under attack spiritually by Satan that has been working since the formation of this country to remove the principles of God from our foundation. Spiritually Satan knows that once he accomplishes the removal of God from our lives then we will no longer know how to recognize the discipline of God that comes in the Holy Spirit and this opens the doors to a nation gone wild.

 This is why our government continues to grow to control the people in removing our freedoms because without the Word of God in our lives then our spirits are like wild horses with no reigns. As this continues to grow in removing God from the center of our lives in this nation then this brings the stronghold of Satan by teaching individuals to lean on man instead of learning to trust in God. If America does not Wake Up to this Truth then we are only setting the stage for what is to come in accepting anything that comes our way. This then opens the door for the anti-christ to move right in… This is no joke and America better Wake Up to this Truth. Don’t be blindsided and say that you were not warned. For there is an awakening that is taking place across our nation from Glen Beck on his knees on Fox news in prayer to Christians on the move to stand for our children’s future. It is time that we take heed to the Word Of God and recognize the Truth that is taught in the Holy Bible for our countries future…amen

Be A Giver, Not A Taker

by 1 Comment

 If you were to look at your life today in every aspect and ask yourself this question ,”Am I a giver or a taker?” What would be your answer? We all try to justify the measure in which we give due to our human nature but there comes a time when we should be trying to out-give what receive. For when we go the extra mile in giving is when God often gives us something in return whether in this life or in the next.

 Can you imagine what Jesus must have been thinking as He carried that cross for you and me? What if He would have taken the stance of holding back instead of giving His all? The Lord instructs us in Colossians 3:23 to do everything unto the Lord and this means that in everything we do we should be seeking to please God instead of only pleasing ourselves. For we all know what happened to Cain when he held back what could have been given.

 Is there an area in your life that you are holding back? Maybe in your relationships. Maybe in your job or maybe in your walk with the Lord? We all have areas that we can address but when we begin to neglect that every single day requires us giving something back in return then our days often become numbered because what use are we if we only take without giving something in return?

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…
