Let’s Praise God For Where We Are

September 3, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy to allow the negativity that is in world to rob us of the victory and joy that we have. We should be praising God for what is taking place here in America today because to my limited knowledge there has never been a time as this that Christians have began to stand up and speak for what they know in their hearts and soul.

 There is Victory in our trials when we recognize where we have gone wrong and we begin to rebuild what has been broken from before. Spiritually Satan wants to consume us with the negativity and make us feel that there is no hope when there really is. As long as we have breath we have life and in life we have God who makes the impossible possible for us to overcome when we learn to trust in Him rather than within our own limitations.

 If you are feeling pressured, depressed, scared or simply sad ask yourself,”Why?” Because if God has given you the life to read this message then He has given you the strength to make a positive difference in where you are…amen

God Confirms Our Positions

September 2, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Our society over the past 40 years here in America has really lost sight of how God is the Creator and giver of everything that we have. Can you imagine what the world would say to King David today if He were to run for President? Can you imagine what the world would say today to one of the disciples that stepped forward to preach God’s Word?

 Do you think that the world would tell any of these men that they were not qualified due to their lack of degrees on the wall? What would the world have to say about these men if there was a background check to insure who they are? How far have we drifted away from God and placed our security in the world instead of recognizing the spirit of God that gives us our direction?

 There is a parallel to the time today here in America to the time of the Pharisees in Israel that Jesus spoke of in the New Testament. They were so blind due to the physical requirements of man that they missed the hand of God that was right before them. This morning I leave you with this question upon your heart,”Are you looking for God in the spiritual eye or are looking at the physical and totally missing the spiritual?”   

 There is no human logic with God that can comprehend who gives and takes away. It is not our place to understand but it is our place to follow…amen

Where Is Your Security?

September 1, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 It is wise in the physical being to establish a plan with provisions before we step out into the world. In the eyes of man we don’t understand how to place our security in something that we do not physicaly see. Throughout the Word of God we are taught to have faith in God and that He will provide our needs when we are called to serve Him rather than serving ourselves.

 Can you imagine what someone would say to Jesus today if He called their name and said,” Drop what you are doing to follow me?” Can you imagine what those around you would say to you if you were to take that step of faith? So many times we miss what God has before us because we place our security in this physical world instead of trusting in God to give us what we need to move forward.

 I leave you this morning with a question upon your heart to insure the security that you have. If everything in the world was to disappear today would you be able to sit under that oak tree and whistle Dixie if you were all alone?      

When we begin to trust God for what we do not see is when God often shows us something that we never expected…amen

There Is Liberty & Freedom With God

August 30, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 In this life we may face many injustices and things which we do not understand. We may even be falsely accused or misunderstood by our family and friends. There will be times that we may feel unappreciated for the love that we show and times that our ideas may be completely ignored. But there is one thing that we all should remember and that is to praise God in the days that we are given for He sees and remembers all the good that we do.

 It is up to the Lord to decide the timing and the appropriateness of our rewards. Because if we do not put our trust in Him to vindicate us in His timing and not our own then we are setting ourselves up spiritually for Satan to take us down in hatred or in self pity. It is vital to recognize that our rewards do not come in this life for the ones that we receive here are only the blessings that God gives with the intentions for us to bless others.

 When we learn to place our trust in the Lord is when we can begin to experience the peace that comes only from God. Not only will we experience this peace but God will also set us free from the worries of how others may perceive us when we learn in whom to believe. This is true freedom and liberty that is only given by God and can not be achieved by man…amen

God Desires Daily Obedience

August 20, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

  God does not want our promises for the future but obedience for the day. For He knows how weak we are in the flesh and how we tend to make decisions in our emotions which only lead to broken promises in the future. Everyday that we are given we are to honor our commitments and to do our jobs to the best abilities that we can. 

 You will find that people tend to make promises in order to achieve their desires and it is very wise for us to recall that we don’t control the future. A person can only speak for themself and when someone tries to speak for others they must be on one accord to achieve the goal in the end. I challenge you today to not focus on what you desire in the future but learn to commit yourself to do the best job that you can today…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…
