Emotional Decisions Can Deceive Us

by 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…

Make Godly Decisions

by 2 Comments

 Making a life changing decision is not something that should be rushed nor made without seeking Godly council to help us insure the steps that we take. So many times we allow our emotions to misguide us in our decisions due to the temptations of our own desires that eventually have a negative impact on someone else.

 To simplify our decisions without over complicating our answers we should ask ourselves this question,”Is this decision being led by God?” If we can answer this question without hesitation and acknowledge the commitment that we are making then we are on the Way to something better in building something for someone else rather than ourselves.

 Often when we hesitate in our decisions it is because we are unsure and we have not taken the proper time in seeking the council of God to insure the steps that we take. This is why our divorce rate is so high in America and children are without their parents due to parents acting in their emotions without thinking about the future. It is vital that we take the time to seek God before we make changes that can affect the future. For if our decisions only serve our self then we are making the wrong that will eventually hurt someone else…

 Jesus taught us to look beyond what we see to hear what needs to be heard to insure the steps that we take…

God Is The Artist Of The Future

by Leave a Comment

 There are storms that we can see and there are storms that we don’t see. The storms that we are often blinded to are the ones that affect our spiritual lives in our day to day activities. Think about it; Have you ever noticed how evil attracts evil but good attracts good? Or, have you ever noticed how greed attracts greed and love attracts love?

 It is when good and evil collide within us that storms can come our way. The object is to recognize the different spirits that we are dealing with to insure the path that we are on and the path that we are to take. So many times we live in a spiritual unsettlement within ourselves because we don’t know how to trust in God verses placing our trust in man. When we learn how to look for the qualities of God that comes in the fruit of the spirit this helps us to settle the distrust that we tend to carry.

  I challenge you today that if you are holding on to something in distrust to let it go and learn to place your trust in God instead of keeping it within man. It would be a shame to hold someone back because of our own lack of trust that we claim to have. Do you trust God? Jesus did. Did Jesus hang Judas or did Judas hang himself? If you are holding on to the rope learn to let it go and allow God’s love to flow…amen  

Let go of the brush and allow God to paint the picture….

Are You Headed For A Dead End?

by Leave a Comment

 One of the most awesome lessons that Jesus Christ ever taught us is how to look beyond what we see to help us insure the steps that we take. So many times we jump in our emotions because we think this is the way that we are to go and then we find out when the road comes to an end that this road was not the one to be traveled. 

  As we mature in Christ and in studying God’s Word we learn that life is much simpler than what we tend to make it out to be. The reason that life becomes so  complicated is because we fail to allow God to direct our steps and we often take roads that we should not have traveled. The awesome part about taking roads with dead ends is when we discover the wrong turns that we have made before we fall off of the Edge of the cliff. 

 Do you feel as if your life is too complicated? Do you feel that your problems are too big to resolve? The reason we often complicate things is because we try to raise ourselves into some intellect that we are not. People tend to be offended when they don’t receive an intellectual answer because they simply don’t want to feel foolish. How sad is this that we allow ourselves to be ignorant and miss the simple solutions that we have right before us? All we have to do is learn how to face our issues in the belief that Jesus will take us to the other side and learn how to balance on the waves in the sea while doing the work that it takes to reach our goals. 

 This same lesson of simple solutions was taught through Elijah and fulfilled in the same with Jesus Christ. I challenge you today to not allow Satan to spiritually keep you in bondage and think that your problems are too big when they are really pretty simple. All we have to do is learn how to lay down our burdens at the foot of the cross and learn to allow God to give us the strength we need to make the decisions that need to be made.  

Just because we come to the end of one road does not mean that we are to give up but learn how to turn around in the love of Jesus and allow God to show us the road that we are to travel…

Are You In Spiritual Slavery?

by Leave a Comment

 Have y0u ever thought about the different spiritual strongholds of Satan that place us in a form of bondage to rob us of the freedom that we can experience in the love of Jesus Christ?  Think about it; Is there something in your life that is holding you back? Due to the lack of proper teaching in the Word of God and our country drifting away from the Truth it is easy to fall into spiritual slavery that allows Satan to rob us of our purpose and our joy in life.

 Many people in the church and outside the church are walking in physical freedom here in America but little do they know how they are in spiritual bondage because they do not understand the overall objective in this life. Jesus did not only come here to save us but He came here to teach us that there is much more to life than what we physically think that we see. This life is is to serve God’s purpose and to decide the direction which we take from Heaven or Hell. I challenge you today to look DEEEEP within yourself and ask God to point out something in your life that could be holding you back. Once you recognize this whether in greed, anger, jealously, unforgiveness, pride, lust, deceit and the list goes on and on the next step is asking God to help you remove these strongholds through the love of Jesus in order to be set free…amen

So many times we allow Satan to have victory because we forget who is in control…

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…
