A Word Of Encouragement…

June 23, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Here is word that might make some people crindge, “Exercise.” Have you ever thought about the meaning of this verb? When you train yourself as an athlete you learn to push yourself towards certain goals and you learn to strive to improve with every day that you are given. This same principle should not only be applied to the phsical realm but to the mental and spiritual as well.

What happens when you quit moving? Have you ever gotten stiff? What happens when you quit looking for something new? Do you think that you might get stuck in the old? This message is here to help encourage you this morning by taking a step in the direction that God has been nudging and to encourage you to reach further than before. For the more we seek the more we shall find and the object is to seek the Kingdom of God first in all that we do and then He will motivate us in the direction that we should go…

Are You Drinking From The Well?

June 22, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

In John 4 Jesus spoke with a woman at the well. This woman was a sinner and not looked favorably upon from the Jews due to her Samaritan race. This made no difference to Jesus in her background or her race for He saw a child in her that simply was in need of some relief and that was loved. As Jesus spoke with her He referred himself to living water and told her that she would never be thirsty again.

Have you ever thought deeper on this message of living water? For in the living water of Jesus Christ there is a constant renewing of our minds and deepening of our souls. Like the old wine and the new fermenting wine there should be a constant cycle of transformation taking place within us that brings new life daily. Unfortunately many never get this message of daily transformation in the living water of Jesus Christ because they get to certain point and simply quit seeking and being open to receive something more of God.

May I challenge you this morning to go to the well in the Word of God and seek daily for something more in the love of Jesus Christ. For the more we seek the more that we shall find when searching in the will of our Heavenly Father….

New Wine…

June 21, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Jesus teaches us that we can not put new wine in an old wineskin due to the expansion of the new wine in the fermentation process that will cause the old wineskin to explode. The fermentation process of the new wine or lets say youth climbs at accelerated rates where the old wine has passed through this process and now matures at gradual rates deepening the taste within the soul.

Here is where a major problem occurs often within the church body due to its own lack of understanding of the natural progression of God. The body of Christ is alive and strong with the new growing within the old and when the old does not learn to shift within season this can cause one of two things oppression or an explosion which bring many other issues within the body. This same principle applies within our homes, our careers and simply in the process of life. For when we try to restrict the natural progression of God within the lives of others then we are holding back what God is taking forward.

May I challenge you today to never become stuck where you are and always be open to learn from the new to deepen the depth of the old…

Old Wine…

June 20, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

If we were to compare ourselves to aged wine we would discover many different stages of maturity. In the natural progression of God we learn that the old must come to the new for the new is not to go back to the old. For if the new went back to the old this would be like trying to hold back the natural progression of God within the body of Christ.

New wine brings life in ways that can carry us forward and the object is to recognize the maturity of the wine as it develops its own taste in the natural fermentation of God. As a winery rotates stock we are to learn the importance of shifting our barrels within the racks to eliminate any cob webs or dust to colllect on our barrels. There is a message in this for those with the ears to hear and the eyes to see that can deepen an understanding within the overall function of the body. May God give you the senses to figure this out so your wine will mature in the natural progression of God…

No Resistance…

June 17, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

The insecurities of man are often displayed in how we try to guard our relationships rather than working freely within the spirit of God and trusting Him. You will find that individuals that do not understand this will try to protect and control their standing between certain people because they tend to rely on man instead of relying upon the Lord.

Learning how to get out of the way of God and allowing people to move freely within the spirit develops a spirit of motivation without resistance. The object is to learn our position and to reciprocate within it while helping others to climb the mountain of God with the Lord guiding our direction. Resistance within the spirit can take place in disobedience and within doubts. When we learn to simply do as God directs is when He will take us forward but until then we will stay right where we are…
