God Can Help You…

by Leave a Comment

 When we focus on our issues in life we often become paralyzed in the situation because they may appear humanly impossible to overcome. Satan wants to consume our minds to the point that we lose our drive and to the point that we feel there is no use to carry on. But when we learn to concentrate on God and His power He will always give us just what we need to get through. 

 No one ever said the road would be easy to travel but when we know something has been given by God then we are to never give up no matter how bumpy the road may be. Do you know the direction you travel? Do you know the road that you are on? Right now some of you who are reading this may feel unable to see through your troubles but I challenge you to focus on God and trust Him for the way out. Once we begin to seek God for our direction He will begin to show us the way to overcome our issues and even give us a peace beyond understanding…amen

With man there are limitations but with God there are no limits!!!

Only Two Roads In This Life…

by Leave a Comment

 Throughout the Holy Bible God reveals to us how we are to walk, how we are to serve, and how we are to act. He even teaches us everything that we need to watch out for in envy, jealousy, lust, greed, power, and even teaches us how to handle our hurts that often cause us to stumble. Not only does He teach us all of this He also teaches us the importance of staying humble no matter how high we may climb. There are many lessons throughout the Word of God that break down the characteristics of a human to teach us how to develop who we really are and to warn us of what to watch out for in the spiritual deception of Satan.

 It is vital in this life to recognize that we are only here to determine which road that we will travel and to see how well we will serve. There are only two roads that lead us in our direction and one is of God and the other is of Satan! The way we walk in this life determines whom we follow and just because we get off track does not mean that we can’t turn our lives around to regain our direction. The Lord loves each one of us so much that He gave His only begotten Son to show us how to walk in this life and how to act in love by putting ourselves last instead of first. I challenge you today and every other day to help uplift others however you can and work for the eternal rewards instead of your immediate desires. The Lord can use us no matter where we are or what we might be going through when we learn to look for that divine appointment in everything we do…amen

Stay Focused & Never Give Up!!!

by Leave a Comment

 In life it is very easy to speak when we know the answer and it is in our human nature to raise ourselves up to something that we might not be ready for. This is how Satan works because he wants us to jump before the time in our youth rather than waiting and trusting in God for His timing instead of our own. Have you ever made a decision and then realized you were not ready? Or, have you ever made a decision that failed but then as you walked on in life the Lord brought it back to you again?

  Just because we might not succeed the first time, the second or the third does not mean that we are to ever give up!!!  It just means that we need to just learn how to trust God in His timing instead of our own and learn from our falls to one day climb again but much wiser and stronger than before.

  I challenge you today and every other day to learn from your falls to see what you could have possibly been missing to insure your steps in the future. We all stumble at times when we get caught up in the climb and lose sight of the foundation from which we stand…amen

Are You Listening???

by Leave a Comment

 If you were to truly stop and listen without any type of distractions what would you hear? If you were to stop and listen to others around you what would they be expressing from their heart? So many times in life we cover up our pains because we don’t want others to see us cry and we don’t want them to know how we are hurting on the inside.

 When we hide our pains without expressing who we really are or what we may be going through then we are only allowing Satan to rob us of the healing that we can receive. It is in our human nature to put up a front but until we learn how to humble ourselves to who we really are then how can we ever honestly expect to be set free?

 Deep down inside we all seek the same thing of just wanting to be loved for who we are on the inside and not for what we temporarily have on the outside. To experience true love we have to be honest with who we are through Jesus Christ and learn to trust God to bring things together. I challenge you today to let go of what may be holding you back and to spend sincere time with someone to show you care. We all have something to share if we will just stop and listen…

Don’t Lose Touch In Life…

by Leave a Comment

 When is the last time that you honestly stopped to listen without any type of distractions? Did you know that it takes time to unwind when we have been wound up so tight that we can’t hardly listen? It is very easy to become deaf and even blind in todays society due to the way our world is pushing us to keep up. But if we don’t take the time to stop and truly listen then if we are not careful something could be missed.

 Keeping our lives in Balance is vital in order to maintain what God has given. Satan tries to wind us up to the point that we don’t listen because he knows that if we don’t stop to pay attention then it is only a matter of time before we will lose sight of the path that we are on. Have you ever noticed how everything in God’s creation has a steady pattern that is constantly working together and moving forward? It is very easy to lose sight when we focus on what we see and don’t take the time to listen to what needs to be heard. I challenge you today to stop and truly listen to what God has placed on your heart and learn to stay in touch in everything you do to allow the love of Jesus to shine through…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…
