Natural Gifts Of God

July 10, 2010 by admin 2 Comments

  One of the most important things about teaching is learning to recognize the natural strengths of each individual to help them develop their God given talents into maturity. Have you ever seen the difference between an artist that went to school to learn how to paint verses an artist that  was just born with a natural gift of God?

 Their is a distinct difference in the expression of the art between the two because you can feel the difference in the depth of the painting in the one born with the natural gift verses the one that was taught by man. It is the passion behind our goals that shows the depth of our picture in life and when we overlook those with natural gifts of God due to rules and procedures is when we so often miss what God has right before us.

 In today’s society many have become seriously blinded to the natural gifts of God in others due to their own fears and the amount of emphasis being placed on the accomplishments of man instead of seeing the accomplishments of God. It is very easy in our human nature to become blind when we place so much emphasis on the guidelines to follow along with the sins of others as the Pharisees did in the Holy Bible and Jesus warned us of this in order for us to maintain our Balance in life. The Lord gives us guidelines to follow but He also taught us how to be alert to our surroundings because we never know where God could be working next. 

 There is no better blessing in this world than to know that we played a roll in the Kingdom of God by helping His children discover who they are as child of God and develop the talents which the Lord provides to further His will and not our own. I challenge you to look beyond what you see in the physical to recognize what can take place in the spiritual to further the Kingdom of God for our children’s future…amen

 For we never know what God has right before us until we learn to look for God instead of man…

In Need of Prayer

July 8, 2010 by admin 2 Comments

 I want to thank each of you who receive and forward the Daily Growth messages from Balanced Life Ministry. Today’s message is a little different because I am in need of sincere prayer for our cabinet shop and for doors to be opened to share what God has layed upon my heart. The Lord has touched me like I can not begin to express and given me another chance to live again to serve Him rather than myself. It is my sincere prayer that God sends us some help so we can begin to go forward with the vision which He has given to help the people. As I prayed this morning with my son, I told him not to worry because I am not a quitter and I know that God is faithful to honor those that honor him. Please lift me in prayer for it is my goal in life to share with others what God shares with us…amen

Keep God In Focus

June 29, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Satan has been hard at work over the years to destroy the family by distracting us into thinking that we can hold it all together on our own. When we remove God from the center of our lives then we are opening the door for Satan to creep in because our flesh then gets in the way. In the flesh we can only hold things together for just a little while but when we learn how to trust in God then there is a bond that will not be broken.

 I challenge you today to put God in the center of your life and learn how to trust in Him rather than in yourself. Don’t allow Satan to make something more complicated than what it really is and just simply do what needs to be done without allowing your flesh to get in the way…amen

How To Maintain Our Freedom

June 26, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 When we do not understand how to trust in God and follow our heart then we become very vulnerable to the spiritual control of Satan. One of the most deceptive spirits of Satan is the influence of power which can lead to a controlling spirit when we don’t understand the Word of God. Within this controlling spirit of Satan its’ main objective is to rob us of our spiritual freedom that we have been given through the blood of Jesus Christ in order to suppress the love that we carry and to keep us from being who we are as a child of God.

 It is important to recall the main objective of Satan in robbing us of our freedom and wanting us to live under his control because this is how he receives his influence and power. If you open your eyes to this truth we can see how Satan has been working spiritually over the years to control our homes, our churches and our nations through individuals that failed to recognize who they were following in their selfish ambitions which enslaved the people. Our freedom comes in our freewill which we have been given by God in the choices which we can make, and if we are not careful to recognize the traps of Satan which can suppress us in our decisions then we could be setting ourselves up to be robbed of the joy which we carry in Christ.

 The spiritual deception that comes in influence and power is a very strong spirit that can ultimately lead to destruction if we are not careful to understand what is taking place under God. Many people have been robbed of their freedom because of how others have failed to live in love and trust God to hold things together instead of themselves. There isn’t a one of us that have never had to face some type of fear when speaking the truth, but when we can’t share what we know in our hearts to be true with one another in love then we need to ask ourselves who we are really falling to.

 In the freedom which God has given us it is vital that we understand the purpose of self discipline under God in order to maintain what we have. Without God man can not handle power and without the love of Jesus in our hearts we lose touch with the people! Learning to trust in God is a simple but difficult thing to do in our flesh. Because in the flesh we have fears of losing control rather than learning how to advance in the kingdom of God by allowing Him to hold things together rather than us trying to do it on our own.

 Throughout the Word of God He teaches us to respect every position while allowing the Lord to guide us in the spirit to reach our destinations to serve His will instead of our own personal desires. It is the Lords’ will that we all learn how to love one another for who we are under God with Him in front while each one of us learn how to work together as one in the love of Jesus Christ to reach our destinations in life.

  Until we learn how to face our fears and share our hearts with one another in true love then we only allow Satan to hold us in a spiritual prison which robs us of who we really are as a child of God. This spiritual lesson was taught in the book of Exodus with Moses as he had to address the spirit which was causing Pharoah to harden his heart and suppress the people because of his own fears of losing them.

  In life we all have to face our own types of Pharoahs in order to be set free from the spiritual bondage of Satan. These Pharaohs are not always in others but they are also our own fears that we carry deep within the inside of ourselves because we simply don’t how to speak the truth in order to be set free. In the spiritual lesson of Moses we learn how to follow God instead of man by trusting in Him to get us to the other side to help our children of tomorrow.  I challenge every reader that reads this message to recognize the spiritual deception of Satan that takes place when we try to control our circumstances in life without allowing the love of Jesus to hold it all together…amen

  Love is something that comes in our freewill without being influenced by something of this world in order to just be who we are under God to serve His will and not our own…

Don’t Allow Fear To Control Your Life

June 24, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 One of the hardest things in life is dealing with our fears and learning when to step out in faith to overcome them. Spiritually Satan likes to hold us down in our fears not only in our own minds but in others that try to control us in their over powering spirits to keep the truth from being shared. In order to be set free we must learn how to communicate in a loving spirit to maintain what we have been given and to move forward in our future…amen

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…
