We Must Communicate To Maintain

June 17, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 When we don’t communicate with one another in our relationships this only leads to the other party looking for signs in our actions that can be mislead spiritually by Satan by causing us to assume something that could be far off track. Communication allows us to understand one another and it helps us to work together to achieve each others goals rather than trying to do them on our own.

 We are the ones who complicate matters when we don’t know how to trust in God and we try to handle everything on our own. Life is not that complicated unless we make it and no matter how hard we try to figure things out we will never be able to comprehend what God has created. Rather than trying to figure out how some things may work lets learn to apply what it takes in love to build and maintain upon what we have already been given.

 It is very easy to sit around a table and discuss what is going wrong in the world but let’s learn to focus on what we can do to make a positive difference where we are rather than where we are not. I challenge you today to do something over and above your normal routine to make a positive difference wherever you are and learn to communicate in love to maintain what you have…amen

Work In The Light For Others To See The Way

June 16, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 There are times in life that it will seem unfair and there are times in life that it will seem as if you will have to do all the work. It is in these times that we should never allow ourselves to become spiritually discouraged by Satan when he is working through others to rob us of the joy we have. All Satan wants is for us to be unhappy and to feel as if every time we start something that it is going to fail. When we allow Satan to cause us to feel this way then we are doing nothing but giving victory to Satan instead of claiming the victory that we already have been given through the love of Jesus Christ.

 Instead of getting mad and carrying internal frustrations learn how to handle them in love in order to accomplish what needs to be done. It is when we bottle up our frustrations that Satan tries to get us to act out in our emotions in order to possibly cause a division in our relationships in life. These spiritual frustrations that can build up in us will often cause us to be snappy at one another and cause us to just become unhappy where we are. 

 I challenge you today to enjoy the work that you have in the love of Jesus Christ and go the extra mile without worrying about the extra work that needs to be done. God will give you everything you need and it should be our prayer that as we walk in the light that others will begin to come out of the darkness by the example that we are in order to lead them to Jesus Christ…amen

Don’t Put Off On Other’s What You Can Do Yourself

June 15, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It does not matter who we are or how productive we think that we are being that we can’t see something in our lives that needs to be addressed. God points out things in our spirits in order for us to take the initiative to maintain what He has given. But when we continue to neglect what God is telling us in our spirit to do then it is only a matter of time that something will slip away.

 In our human nature we want to push our responsibilities off on others in hoping that someone else will do the work that needs to be done. When we learn to follow what God places in our spirits in our homes, in our relationships, in our careers, in our nation, and even in the church we will find that there is momentum in the spirit of God that will spread to others as we continue to follow as the Lord directs.

 I challenge you today to make a list of everything that God has placed in your spirit to address whether calling someone to tell them you love them or developing a plan to improve your picture in life. Learn to prioritize these things so you won’t be consumed and allow God to show you what needs to be done in everyday that you have been given…amen

 Life is a daily balance that requires discipline in order to maintain what we have been given. For if we can’t take care of what we have then honestly why would we expect to receive something better?

How To Empower The People

June 12, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 Over the past 40 years here in America Satan has really made an outward showing of how he has been spiritually misleading this country through individuals by trying to motivate the people by material means. This deception has caused many to become lost and caused others to become oppressed because they are looking at what the world has to offer instead of learning how to be who they are under God. This spiritual misguidance that is affecting our world today has caused many people to grow without the maturity of God which teaches us how to not only be happy where we are but how to maintain what we have been given.

 This spiritual deception is easy to see when you really open your eyes and ears to what the world has been teaching. For instance, those that have alot never have enough, those that don’t have much are always looking for more, and then there are those that don’t know how to use what they already have. This spiritual misguidance has not only affected the world but has also infected the church by trying to entice people to join because of what they have to offer on the outside and truly forgetting what it takes on the inside to maintain what we have been given.

 When we feel as if we need to keep up with someone else here on earth or as if we have to be at a certain place to find God then we need to take a step back to insure that we are not being spirtually misled by Satan! For Satan wants us to never be happy where we are and he wants us to overlook what we already have because he knows our weakness in the flesh of how we like to take the easy way out. Think about it! If we are always seeking something that we don’t have then how can we appreciate what we do have?   

  Instead of talking about or showing others what we may have or what the world has to offer let’s learn to encourage other’s by uplifting them in the loving spirit of God by teaching them that they already have everything they need to succeed where they are when they learn to seek God for their direction. It is when we look for what we don’t have that Satan can spiritually suppress us by feeling that we don’t have what it takes to achieve our goals because we forget who is truly in control and this causes many people to never even make that step in faith.

 When we have God we have everything and as we learn to use what He has given us today then He will give us what we need for tomorrow. God wants us to learn the importance of self discipline and principles in life to maintain what He provides in the spiritual freedom of Jesus Christ to see how high we can climb without a fall. It is very important to recognize how God can use us right where we are without feeling that we have to be somewhere else in order to receive the blessings that He gives in our hearts and soul.

 No matter how many buildings we build or how glamorous our lives may be without the loving spirit of Jesus we will always be chasing the wind and feel empty on the inside. The object in life is to discover Jesus Christ and then learn to grow within the discipline of God while learning to do the best we can where we are in seeking to please God instead of man…amen

Recognize Where God Speaks

June 8, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is important to remember that God often speaks to each of us in our own spirit first and then if we do not follow then He begins to speak through others for us to hear what needs to be heard. The sad part about this is when we continue to not obey what God places in our spirit  because then it is only a matter of time before God will get our attention either directly or indirectly guaranteed.

 Have you ever had someone to warn you of something in your path and you chose to not listen? Or, have you ever had someone to point out something that could help you improve what you might already be doing but you chose to not listen because it was not your idea? When we don’t seek God for our direction and know how to stay humble to the point that we will listen then it is easy to miss what God has right before us. It is important to remember that all things that are good come from God and all things bad come from Satan.  

 When we begin to listen for God instead of focusing on man it is amazing at what can take place in the spirit of the Lord that will carry us forward instead of leaving us stuck behind.  I challenge you today to learn who you are under God and learn to act in the love of Jesus Christ to work together on earth as it is in Heaven…amen

 We are nothing without God but a speck of dust in His creation. It is when we think that we are better than dirt that God shows us what we are really made of…

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…
