Godly Decisions

November 2, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

When we care more about our own economic well being than the glory of God and the salvation of lost souls it is a clear sign of idolatry, greed and worldliness. It is very easy in our human nature to carve out certain segments of God’s instruction when it goes against our fleshly desires but when we learn to recognize the areas that God wants us to address is when the Lord often blesses us in another way.

It is vital that we make Godly decisions without worrying about the loss of support that can come through the people. For when we allow our decisions to be based solely on the financial gain then we are simply allowing Satan to spiritually misguide our actions. At this point of maturity in making Godly decisions we learn to place our trust in Him to give us just what we need instead of trying to control things ourselves…amen

God Holds Us Accountable

November 1, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

All people are individually responsible to God but believers have a special responsibility to warn unbelievers of the consequences of rejecting Him. If we fail to do this, God will hold us responsible for what happens to them. This should motivate us to begin sharing our faith with others in our actions and cause us to avoid being unconcerned in our attitude towards others.

One of the most important parts in calling out sin is that it is not our place to drive the nails. Once we have confronted an issue in love then it is our place to allow the Holy Spirit to do the work on the individual while we learn to stand true to God’s Word….amen

History Is A Tool For The Future

October 20, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever considered the importance of studying history not to to just learn the stories but to learn where and why something went wrong? So many times we get caught up in knowing the stories in history that we forget the main reason in learning from our past to possibly prevent something in our future.

The Lord gives us the stories in the Old Testament to teach us how to be alert spiritually to evil and to recognize something in sin that can develop in us to divert the path that we are on. In Genesis 4 the Lord taught us this lesson before everything else with Cain and it was recorded for our own recognition to prevent something from consuming us to the point that it can destroy us.

History is a great tool when we know how to apply it to our lives today without becoming stuck in it to the point that we miss the lesson in it. The same evil spirits that have taken down men and women in history are the same spirits that attack us today. Don’t be fooled and think that history is only history because if you really pay attention to the times you will find that history tends to repeat itself until the people learn how to walk with Jesus to reach the other side…amen

Emotional Decisions Can Deceive Us

October 19, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

Everyday we have to make decisions that have an impact on our future from the food that we eat to the people that we meet. Based on our emotions of the day or the pressures that we are under, Satan is spiritually at work to misguide us in our actions because he does not want us to ever discover the purpose that God has in store for our lives.

Spiritually Satan works not only in us if we allow him to guide our actions but he works through others to throw us off course. This is why it is crucial to stay close to the Lord in our decisions to insure that we are rooted in His Word. With God first in our lives we have productivity and joy through the peace that He gives when we learn to place our trust in Him instead of taking matters into our own hands.

Before you act in your emotions catch yourself to insure that the steps that you are taking line up in the will of God before you possibly have a negative impact on someone else. Every decision has an impact and to insure the spiritual driver look for the type of seed that is being planted to insure the harvest in the future…

Unconditional Love

October 15, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

In the Word of God it teaches us to unite and serve one another in unconditional love without partiality. Why is it that we can’t even do this in our churches muchless in our own homes? Have we forgotten the command of loving thy neighbor as thyself and learning how to unite in our heart and mind? Have we as Christians allowed Satan to spiritually enter into our own minds that we can’t even trust our own brothers or sisters in Christ?

It is pathetic in how much distrust is in the world and how it has entered the church. This is what happens when we drift away from the true teachings in the Word of God and we forget who is really in control. The lack of true love that is being portrayed in the body is restricting the spirit and causing disunity within the family due to the lack of trust that is being portrayed.

When we learn to love unconditionally there is a bond that can’t be broken and this love is what encourages others to build higher than before. If we can’t stand on the Rock in unconditional love then maybe we still need to be introduced to the Rock that we have not met. For if we are claiming to stand on the rock but we are showing partiality to some then where is this injustice coming from?

Unconditional love is what God has given to us in His mercy and grace and the question is are we displaying this same love because we are seeking His face? Don’t come up short when your time is called for it would be sad to hear those words to depart from me for I never knew you…
