Raising Children

Do You Have Room For Jesus?

December 25, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

On the night before Jesus was born Mary and Joseph were seeking a room but were unable to find. Her pregnancy was evident to others that saw and her pains were deep this night which she knew there was no time for sleep.

It was on this night in the least of all towns that our Saviour was born who now reigns with a crown. He was born in a manger and then as He matured many treated Him like a complete stranger. This is the message that God wanted us to see as He walked this earth in how we are to love and to always believe. There is much more to life than what meets the eye and it is vital that we keep our focus on the Heavenly skies.

We never know the day nor the hour but one thing we do know is the Truth that now lives within. This Truth which Jesus that we now know as our friend….Praise God for this birth and this day that we are to recall for there is great Victory in Jesus that saves us from the eternal fall….amen

Do you have room for Jesus today? Or, is your schedule too full? For there is nothing like receiving the seed of Truth and it birthing into the maturity of Jesus Christ. May your home be filled with love in the air and I pray that you share the love of God everywhere…

Merry Christmas

There Is Unity With God…

November 7, 2011 by admin 1 Comment

Learning how to live in this world but not of this world within the spirit of God requires the knowledge of His Word the recognition of the spirit and the reverance to His guidance. It is like learning to play music. First we must have the ears to hear and then the eyes to see and then when we join with other musicians which believe we work together in unity to discover the harmony.

As any musical group it is made up of many differnet instruments which have something different to add. For music of God is not about one particular instrument over powering all the rest it is about each one playing together and doing there best. There is music all around throughout the life that God has given through Jesus Christ and until we learn to how to come together in one accord then we will continue to miss the sound and the experience within the spirit of God. For Gods music soothes the soul and warms the heart in true love with all glory in the Lords name…Please join us again tomorrow in dicovering the key principles within a band….

Maturing Within The Garden…

November 3, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

The gift of being a parent parallels the responsibilities of a gardener. As a child is young they are very tender and need nurtured care. Then as the plant or child begins to mature we are to water them in the Word to strengthen their roots within our eternal foundation. The understanding of the pruning process in youth is a valuable lesson to learn. For if we give the miracle grow to an undeveloped child this often causes them to mature before their time.

There are always consequences to follow unnatural growth and the consequences often go unseen for many years due to our human nature of wanting things before we are ready to receive. Since the beginning of time in the Garden of Eden we can witness this message with Adam and Eve. This same parallel of a child can be compared to The United States of America and how we are now seeing the consequences of our overall disobedience due to chasing a dream without first understanding how to maintain what has been given.

There are principles within any garden in order to experience any type of harvest. It is when we neglect these principles of God that our garden’s and our children will struggle to produce future fruit. The object is to care for the garden that we have been given without neglecting our own. For when we don’t spend time in our garden is when the weeds can begin to grow and the serpents can begin to slip in.

If you were to look at your immediate surroundings today or lets say the temporary garden in which you have been given what would see? The garden first starts with our own temple which is our own body and then it reaches out to our homes, our careers and even in the church. I believe when we all begin to look at life as a garden that we will find that there is work that can be done. May I encourage you this morning to not sit on the porch to watch the weeds take over….For greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world….

Living In The Garden…

November 2, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Yesterday morning there was a message titled “A Walk In The Garden” and we compared the responsibilities of a gardener within a green house to our responsibilities in our homes, our careers and in the church. Today lets look at the delivery of the water and nutrients upon the plants. If you have ever been in a green house then you have experienced the warmth and the moisture in the air not only from the gentle mist that is being sprayed upon the plants but from the transpiration cycle returning through the pores on the leaves.

There is a very important lesson on watering that many tend to miss and this is how we are to deliver the Word and share the love of God. If you were to water a plant today which do you think would be better received a sudden jet burst of water or a gentle mist upon the leaves? There are times of delivery where the watering may be tough but this is to reach the ones in age that have developed an outer shell due to the environment of the world. There are times where the gully washers come due to the cleansing that needs to take place but the object is to be always open to receive and deeply rooted in the rock of our foundation to further the growth of the tree.

As we learn in the Holy Bible through the love of Jesus there is living water in the Holy Spirit that comes up from the wells of our soul. Like the plants cycle of transpiration the love of God should be pouring out of our human pores and giving back to environment in which we live. The water cycle of life here on earth should be the same cycle of love that we show to others. As we receive it helps to feed and as it feeds we should grow. Then as we grow we are to give back in order to continue the healthy cycle of life through Jesus Christ. I challenge you to study the water cycle and compare it to the instruction of God to see the paralell. May God bless your day and guide your steps in every way as you help to water others….

Persecution Brings Expansion

October 17, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever noticed how persecution can bring expansion not only in the Word that travels but in our drive to reach the promises of God? Spiritually Satan works to oppress movements of God due to losing ground where so many are held captive. Think about it! Look at Martin Luther and the Theses that he left nailed to the door on the Catholic church and how this led to the Protestant Reformation. Look at how the lack of freedom of religion led to the formation of the United States of America. Look at Martin Luther King Jr. and how the persecution and unfair rights led to the equal rights movement. Look at recent movie Courageous and how the loss of a daughter brought about a better father.

Most of all look at what took place on the cross and how the persecution of Jesus has expanded the freedom and the spread of the Good News in the Word of God. The message in this is to recognize the passion and drive that God gives to those that believe and the differences that are made for the better of mankind. Since the beginning of time man has tried to hold back movements of God but as we can all now see nothing is impossible to those that truly believe.

I pray this morning that if you are feeling oppressed or held back to not give victory to Satan any longer and that you begin to break through what is simply wrong for what is right by God. God has given us Victory through Jesus Christ and His Word carries us forward. If you are living in despair I pray that you snap out of it! For the Word of God is powerful when we trust and obey. Don’t give Satan victory and think that you can’t make a difference when you can! Change first starts within us and then it spreads to our homes and then from there. Ask God to show you through prayer and seek Godly council for your confirmations to discover your purpose in life through Jesus Christ… Watch this movie trailer on Courageous may it inspire you to make a difference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9VT_NBIVfs
