Spiritual Growth

Have We Forgotten?

February 23, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever ran into a wall or faced someone that was bull headed? Can you recall how you reacted or maybe how you dealt with the situation? Too many times we get robbed of the message and the solutions to our problems because we allow Satan to remove our attention off of the Lord and place them on what we see. It is easy to get stuck in this world when we forget how to look at the next.

Like the Israelites did with Moses in the wilderness we can also forget that we tend to bring our problems upon ourselves due to our own disobedience. As we take our eyes off of the Lord we tend to place blame on what we see instead of allowing God to teach us the lesson that needs to be taught. Until we face this reality of staying focused on God instead of man we will have little peace and no spiritual growth in our lives…amen

How Good Is Your Word?

February 22, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Here is something that many people fail to comprehend due to their lack of understanding in the Word of God. The Lord plainly test us everyday through people and events that take place but we fail to see this due to looking at man instead keeping our eyes upon the Lord. Our word as a Christian is to be our bond, for the Lord tells us not to make an oath nor promise because our answers should be as simple as a Yes or No.

Due to the lack of understanding between men and women and getting away from the Word of God many have forgotten our responsibility in giving our word and once we do, it is our place to follow through. The object is to insure that our commitments are of the Lord and not a commitment that is of the flesh. When we give our word it should be a bond under God and it is our place to trust the Lord for the outcome without trying to control something ourselves. The problem that we have reached today is that we have no value on our word due to forgetting the line that we are to follow. We often fail in thinking that someone is not a person of their word because something did not happen in our time line verses understanding the time line of the Lord.

So, the next time you make a decision or decide to make commitment under God consider where you place your trust to insure that your word won’t be broken. There is no going back once we start to move forward! For every decision that God begins He is the One who decides the outcome. For it is better to place our trust in God than to place our confidence in man…Psalm 118:8

America Needs To Face The Truth…

February 19, 2011 by admin 6 Comments

Like Israel’s history The United States of America is at a point of moral failure and close to collapse due to our disobedience in serving the will of God. Throughout history the facts are before us in what happens when we drift away from the Lord in our homes and in our nations. It is evident today of what is sure to come due to this disobedience and the actions of the people that are rioting around the world.

There is a fire burning in the Lord’s anger towards our disobedience and if we do not begin to face the truth in what is right before us and humble ourselves in repentance then we should prepare for what is sure to come. Without Godly leadership in our homes and in our nation this brings on rebellion and disorder due to the oppression upon the people and due to the lack of understanding in the Word of God.

There is complete chaos without Godly council and leadership in place and this is evident in what just happened in Egypt and how the journalist from America were beaten and even raped. How blind are we in America? How far must we fall into the pit before we accept the truth in what is taking place in foreign nations and here in the United States of America? For this battle is not against flesh and blood it against spiritual principalities and powers beyond our human comprehension.

This lack of spiritual understanding led naive journalist right into something that they can’t even understand in thinking that they are the ones under attack. How ignorant do we have to become before we see that without the hand of God protecting us that there is no safety wherever we travel. The Lord gives us the wisdom to understand what we are up against and He will protect us in our obedience to His Word. Don’t be naive and think that we can do this on our own for the Lord will soon show us just how weak we are as we drift too far.

Study history and the book of Judges to see the rise and fall of Jerusalem to see for yourself why they fell and how they stood again. Do we have to repeat this cycle of history once again here in America or is there still time to salvage where we are for our children’s future? Only God knows this answer and it is up to how we return to Him in how He will bless us again with the freedom between our family and friends.

America is not indestructible and in fact it is very vulnerable today due to the lack of Godly direction in our leadership and the lack of self discipline that is being displayed throughout our country. Our homes are not safe without the hand of God upon us and it is my sincere prayer that America begins to Wake Up to this truth that is being directed by the Lord.

The reason for such spiritual oppression here in America is simply because of our lack of understanding of the importance of discipline and compassion to maintain the balance and order of this country. One without the other allows Satan to spiritually rob us of our freedom in our homes and in our nation. There is a time for compassion and a time for discipline and when we allow our compassion to over take the discipline is when we are setting ourselves up for complacency and the acceptance of things that are simply not right by God!

Look at what is taking place in Wisconsin as we speak in the lack of order and direction from the leadership between the leaders and the people. The ones on the top don’t want to make their own sacrifice while looking for ways to cut the ones on the bottom. The problem is elevating due due to the lack of Godly council to maintain order and the the lack of Godly wisdom being displayed in leadership to work through the issues that they have at hand. This same issue that is taking place in Wisconsin is headed for each and every state here in The United States of America like a domino affect from one domino to the next.

The problem is obvious but no one wants to face the truth due to trying to avoid something that is sure to come in facing reality. The truth hurts when we have to open ourselves up and when we have to make decisions that affect others but if we don’t Wake Up to this truth then prepare for things to only get worse! There is nothing worse than avoiding the truth in survival and murdering innocent victims due to our pride that causes us to try and fix things within our own power. We have no power and are hopeless without God and until America Wakes Up and faces the truth the fall will only get worse in our homes and in our nation….How far must we fall before we realize who holds us up???

Don’t Miss God’s Promise…

February 17, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Don’t allow Satan to spiritually deceive you into thinking that you are following Jesus when you could be being deceived by Satan. In Matthew 7:23 Jesus said,”And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” There is a very fine line to follow in our obedience to God through the love of Jesus Christ and where so many have become lost is in not knowing the Word of God and falling into the deception of Satan.

How sad will it be on the day that we are called home and for someone to hear these words spoken by Jesus in Matthew 7:23? See, Jesus is teaching the same lesson that was taught to the Israelites that were following God to the Promise Land but they failed to enter due to their disobedience to God. Some failed to enter due to worshipping their gold, some failed to enter due to grumbling and complaining, some failed to enter because they challenged God’s anointed, some failed to enter due to their lack of focus, and some failed to enter simply due to their lack of belief.

I don’t know about you but when that day comes that I meet my Maker the last thing that I want to hear is to depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Have you considered who you work for? In Colossians 3:23 we are told to do everything unto the Lord whole heartedly and don’t you think that if we are working for the Lord that we should be obedient to His Word?

This message is to uplift the believer and to Wake Up those that have possibly fallen asleep. Don’t get slack in your life for we never know the day that our time could be called. Are you ready? Are you caring something that it is not of the Lord that maybe could cause you to miss the eternal Promise of God? Don’t get stuck in this life and lose sight of the next…Amen

Detours Help Us To Develop Character

February 11, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever considered the purpose of a detour?

See a detour is there to get us back to where we are going but they can also teach us new ways of direction as we travel the new roads to reach our destination. Not only do they teach us new ways to develop our character but they can also teach us where we got off course and help us to see things that we would not normally see.

Here is another interesting part in God’s wisdom about a detour. Often the detour is there not only to teach us something new but it is there to help repair the main road that has been damaged by the elements of the world. Sometimes detours are there for us to simply get our lives back on track before we miss the boat.( There is something deep within this message for those with the eyes to see and the ears to hear)

How do you react when you face a detour in life? Do you 1st look at it to recognize if you were the one to bring it on yourself before you blame someone else? In your detour are so pressed for time or angry because something disturbed your plans that you do not even recognize the lesson that God has right before you?

The next time you encounter something as a detour in your home, your work, in your travels or simply in your life look at it for the spiritual message instead of allowing Satan to miss what God is trying to teach you through your detours in life….

Don’t get hung up and miss the boat!!!
