Our Independence & Freedom Come From God

July 3, 2010 by admin 5 Comments

It is important to recall the spiritual objective of Satan in robbing us of our freedom which we have been given through the blood of Jesus Christ and how he wants us to live under his control to rob us of who we are as a child of God. If you open your eyes to this truth we can see how Satan has been working spiritually over the years to remove our freedom here in America within our homes, our churches and our nation through individuals that failed to recognize who they were following in their own selfish ambitions which tries to hold down others due to their own insecurities and lack of understanding in the Word of God. 

 The freedom which we have been given by God here in America has been under attack since the formation of this country and due to our complacency in the Word of God we have allowed Satan to make a stronger foothold in this nation by trying to please the people and ourselves instead of our Father In Heaven. Our freedom comes in our freewill which we have been given by God in the choices which we make, and if we are not careful to recognize the spiritual traps of Satan whos main objective is to rob us of our own Independence under God then we are only allowing Satan to separate us further from the truth which we know.

 When we do not understand how to trust in God and follow our heart then we become very vulnerable to the spiritual control of Satan. One of the most deceptive ways that Satan likes to misguide us is in the spirit of power due to the impact on the people. The spiritual deception that comes in influence and power is a very strong spirit that can ultimately lead to destruction if we are not careful to understand what is taking place under God. Once we recognize what is taking place it is our position to speak the truth in love and do our jobs to the best abilities which we can while trusting in God to make a way for our children to move forward. There is something that each one of us can do to make a positive difference in the life of another and if we are not seeking God for our direction and using our blessings that He has given to serve His will instead of our own then we need to ask ourselves what we are really doing for our children’s future? 

  In the freedom which God has given us it is also vital that we understand the purpose of self discipline that is taught in the Holy Bible in order to maintain what we have in our homes and in our nation. Without God man can not handle power and without the love of Jesus in our hearts we lose touch with the people! Learning to trust in God is a simple but difficult thing to do in our flesh. Because in the flesh we have fears of losing control rather than learning how to advance in the Kingdom of God by allowing Him to hold things together rather than us trying to do it ourselves.

 It is the Lords’ will that we all learn how to love one another for who we are under God with Him in front while each one of us learn how to work together as One in the love of Jesus Christ to serve His will instead of our own. I challenge every reader that reads this message to recognize the spiritual deception of Satan that takes place when we try to control our circumstances in life without allowing the love of Jesus to hold it all together…amen

            Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions…Matthew 7:20

How To Maintain Our Freedom

June 26, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 When we do not understand how to trust in God and follow our heart then we become very vulnerable to the spiritual control of Satan. One of the most deceptive spirits of Satan is the influence of power which can lead to a controlling spirit when we don’t understand the Word of God. Within this controlling spirit of Satan its’ main objective is to rob us of our spiritual freedom that we have been given through the blood of Jesus Christ in order to suppress the love that we carry and to keep us from being who we are as a child of God.

 It is important to recall the main objective of Satan in robbing us of our freedom and wanting us to live under his control because this is how he receives his influence and power. If you open your eyes to this truth we can see how Satan has been working spiritually over the years to control our homes, our churches and our nations through individuals that failed to recognize who they were following in their selfish ambitions which enslaved the people. Our freedom comes in our freewill which we have been given by God in the choices which we can make, and if we are not careful to recognize the traps of Satan which can suppress us in our decisions then we could be setting ourselves up to be robbed of the joy which we carry in Christ.

 The spiritual deception that comes in influence and power is a very strong spirit that can ultimately lead to destruction if we are not careful to understand what is taking place under God. Many people have been robbed of their freedom because of how others have failed to live in love and trust God to hold things together instead of themselves. There isn’t a one of us that have never had to face some type of fear when speaking the truth, but when we can’t share what we know in our hearts to be true with one another in love then we need to ask ourselves who we are really falling to.

 In the freedom which God has given us it is vital that we understand the purpose of self discipline under God in order to maintain what we have. Without God man can not handle power and without the love of Jesus in our hearts we lose touch with the people! Learning to trust in God is a simple but difficult thing to do in our flesh. Because in the flesh we have fears of losing control rather than learning how to advance in the kingdom of God by allowing Him to hold things together rather than us trying to do it on our own.

 Throughout the Word of God He teaches us to respect every position while allowing the Lord to guide us in the spirit to reach our destinations to serve His will instead of our own personal desires. It is the Lords’ will that we all learn how to love one another for who we are under God with Him in front while each one of us learn how to work together as one in the love of Jesus Christ to reach our destinations in life.

  Until we learn how to face our fears and share our hearts with one another in true love then we only allow Satan to hold us in a spiritual prison which robs us of who we really are as a child of God. This spiritual lesson was taught in the book of Exodus with Moses as he had to address the spirit which was causing Pharoah to harden his heart and suppress the people because of his own fears of losing them.

  In life we all have to face our own types of Pharoahs in order to be set free from the spiritual bondage of Satan. These Pharaohs are not always in others but they are also our own fears that we carry deep within the inside of ourselves because we simply don’t how to speak the truth in order to be set free. In the spiritual lesson of Moses we learn how to follow God instead of man by trusting in Him to get us to the other side to help our children of tomorrow.  I challenge every reader that reads this message to recognize the spiritual deception of Satan that takes place when we try to control our circumstances in life without allowing the love of Jesus to hold it all together…amen

  Love is something that comes in our freewill without being influenced by something of this world in order to just be who we are under God to serve His will and not our own…

True Love Is Not Of Force

June 21, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

  It is in our human nature to push others to see what we see, but when we find ourselves forcing our ways upon someone else then we need to take a step back to insure that we are not being spiritually misguided by Satan. God wants us to share with others what He has taught us and to lead by example in the love of Christ for others to find their own way by learning to just be who they are without trying to be someone else.

  For each person is responsible for their own relationship with God through Christ and how they develop is between them and the Lord. When we learn to love someone for who and where they are without trying to shape them into who we want them to be then we are showing others the proper Way to believe…amen

Love is not directed but comes in our freewill as we choose in the freedom which we have been given…

Experiences Lead To Our Purpose In Life

June 19, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

  To discover our true purpose in life we first have to recognize what talents that God has given us and then we can begin to develop through prayer and daily practice as we mature to fully utilize what God has given us to use for His glory and not our own. When we learn to apply our experiences in life with our God given talents then this can lead us to discover our purpose in a successful life. The world teaches us to seek success for ourselves but God teaches us that true success is seeking it for others. 

 It is in our human nature to judge someone based on their appearance, their history, and their education but what we must recall is 1 Samuel 16:7,”For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”  True success comes when we recognize our talents under God and then we help others discover theirs by helping them to one day do the same with others. For there is nothing in this world that can compare to the gift of God that fills our hearts and soul when we help another child discover their purpose in life through the love of Jesus Christ.   

 As a parent, as a teacher, as a coach, as an employer, and as a leader it is our responsibility under God to recognize the God given talents in others to help develop them for our children’s future. It is in our nature to try and develop someone to fit our mold but we must recall that it is God’s place to develop each individual while we obey His Word in serving the Lord’s desires instead of our own. When we try to guide someone into a decision or deny them an oppurtunity to discover their talents in life then we could be placing that person in a form spiritual bondage that will not only rob them of their joy but it can also affect the future generations in life until someone learns how to break that chain through the love of Jesus Christ.

  True Success is not measured in material means but measured in how we teach others to utilize and maintain what God has provided. I challenge you to teach others how to discover their talents in life through the love of Jesus Christ by helping them to follow their hearts desires to insure their steps in the future…amen

The Truth Sets Us Free & Carries Us Forward

June 18, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Throughout the world many people are looking for the answers to success and help in overcoming their setbacks in life. Many books have been written and many positions have been created to misguide us into looking to man for the answers rather than seeking God for our direction. Every single thing we need to understand about our characteristics, our weaknesses, and our success is taught in the Holy Bible but many people choose to not go through the extra effort that it takes to discover this Truth in life.

 It is in our nature to want the quick fix and to want someone else to do the work for us but until we learn how to take responsibility for our self and our own actions under God then we will only continue to be lost in this world. As Jesus replied in Luke 11,”But even more blessed are all who hear the Word of God and put it into practice.”

 With this being said, I challenge you to not sit on the Truth but learn how to do something with it in a loving spirit that will in turn help motivate others to do the same. Real change does not come from our leaders in office it begins in our homes and then spreads into our communities for our children’s future while we expect our leaders to simply do what is right under God for the people…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…
