Are Your Treating Life As A Gift?

October 5, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in our human nature to get caught up in our day to day activities to the point that we forget the will of God because we are too busy chasing our own desires. Spiritually Satan wants to attract us to the world and to all the activities because when we fall to this then we often lose touch with the life that God has given. When we lose touch with life then we have little regard for life and this is exactly the spiritual plan of Satan in wanting us to take our eyes off of others and only place them on ourselves.

 This life is no joke and the life that you have been given is a gift from God. For if He wants to take your life He can and if He desires for you to live then it is in His hands. Are you treating your life as a gift? Or, are you being disrespectful to the Giver? If our life is a gift ,which it is, then how are we treating the life of others in the love that we have been given?

 The Lord instructs us in His Word to be a good steward over what we have been given and I am challenging you today to pay close attention to everything that you have in your family, friends, jobs, and in yourself to insure that you are treating the life that is all around you as the gift that it is…amen

Be A Leader, Not A Rebel

September 25, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 It is not hard to recognize the divisions and rebellion that is taking place here in America due to the lack of leadership in our country. When you really break all of this down we find that this revolt in authority actually began in our homes as we failed to properly teach the Word of God through the love of Jesus Christ. No where in the Holy Bible does God teach us to rebel nor does He teach us to not respect our authority. Instead He teaches us to pray for our leaders whether we agree with them or not and to recognize the lesson that we encounter when we allow our homes to drift away from the Will of God.

 This country was built on the foundation of God for the people and it is our leaderships responsibility to stand up for what is right by God to maintain the order within our homes. This is no different than the roll of every father that is to lead their home with the integrity and self discipline that is taught in the Word of God for the security within the family. Without individuals that are willing to stand up for what is simply right and wrong by God in our homes and in our nation this country is destined to lose its way without the direction of God.

 There are groups being formed like the Black Robe Regiment, the TEA Party and others that consist of Americans that are simply tired of the road that is being traveled here in America. The world likes to call them radicals and many others like to place them is some sort of criteria to hurt their image but what these groups consist of is your day to day Americans and Christians that are deeply concerned with the direction that this country is headed. Some of the media has labeled these groups as rebels but what person that stands up for the rights of the people , like Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela,  are not categorized as some sort of rebel?

  When we really break this down even further in someone being called a rebel how do you think that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was categorized before His persecution? God did not send His Son here to cause rebellion among the believers but to give us the assurance in the love of God that teaches us that their is much more to this life than what we see.

 In every home and in every business there comes a point that someone must stand up and learn how to communicate in love to break the spiritual chains that are not only holding us back but to maintain the integrity within the body for our childrens future. What many people are not recognizing is the spiritual battle that is taking place here on earth because of their focus being too fixed on the world and forgetting our Creator in Heaven above. The only way for us to combat the strongholds of Satan is in the name of Jesus while being obedient to the Word of God for Him to bring down the walls instead of us trying to do it on our own. This is where the emotional state is very dangerous in activist because they stand up for something that is right by God but they don’t know how to get the job done in the love of Jesus Christ and allow their emotions to to guide their actions.  

 America would be amazed at what can take place when we insert Jesus into the picture to bring down the walls that are holding us back. The Lord teaches us to have unity in the body with God in front and then the Lord will give us the direction which we need to overcome anything that we have before us. I challenge you today speak the name of Jesus and to learn the wisdom that is taught in the Word of God that teaches us to place our trust in Him instead of in man…amen

 Without God there would be no more American form of government, nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first– the most basic–expression of Americanism. Thus, the Founding Father’s of America saw it, and thus with God’s help, it will continue to be. President Dwight Eisenhower / 1955

Are You In Spiritual Slavery?

September 23, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have y0u ever thought about the different spiritual strongholds of Satan that place us in a form of bondage to rob us of the freedom that we can experience in the love of Jesus Christ?  Think about it; Is there something in your life that is holding you back? Due to the lack of proper teaching in the Word of God and our country drifting away from the Truth it is easy to fall into spiritual slavery that allows Satan to rob us of our purpose and our joy in life.

 Many people in the church and outside the church are walking in physical freedom here in America but little do they know how they are in spiritual bondage because they do not understand the overall objective in this life. Jesus did not only come here to save us but He came here to teach us that there is much more to life than what we physically think that we see. This life is is to serve God’s purpose and to decide the direction which we take from Heaven or Hell. I challenge you today to look DEEEEP within yourself and ask God to point out something in your life that could be holding you back. Once you recognize this whether in greed, anger, jealously, unforgiveness, pride, lust, deceit and the list goes on and on the next step is asking God to help you remove these strongholds through the love of Jesus in order to be set free…amen

So many times we allow Satan to have victory because we forget who is in control…

God Loves You

September 17, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 There is one thing that I have truly discovered in this physical life and that is just when we think that we can’t go no more that God will step in to show us the Way. So many  times in life when we are broke, when our marriages are in shambles, when our children won’t seem to listen,and when our jobs seem to be meaningless we tend to allow ourselves to be robbed by Satan spiritually in thinking that there is no hope or use when there really is.

 This morning the Lord has placed on my heart to tell you that there is Hope in every circumstance when we learn to place our trust in Him rather than in ourselves or in the world. No matter how bad things may seem or how dark your day may be place your trust in Jesus and allow Him to bring you through. It helps to realize that we sometimes have to go through the hard times to learn how to appreciate the good times….amen

Are You A Teacher Or A Speaker?

September 16, 2010 by admin 2 Comments

 There is a distinct difference in teaching and in speaking that is causing many children and adults to stumble and even fall. Teaching takes time and patience with understanding the different personalities of each student. It is easy to speak something and call ourselves a good teacher but if we are not giving the time that is required to help others find their way then we are nothing but a speaker.

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…
