How to Overcome…

by Leave a Comment

Whenever we are faced with situations instead of falling into despair or depression we should faithfully obey God in all circumstances and do what is right in serving someone else besides our self.

It is very easy in survival to only think of ourselves but this is exactly what satan wants because he is trying to break the love chain in life through Jesus Christ. Can you see how satan has guided our society today into a selfish mode of survival by so many only caring for themselves?

I challenge you today and every other day to trust in the Lord and put yourself behind another to help them in some way. The chain of life which is bound together through Jesus Christ is a chain that can’t be broken and it is our place to connect the links together no matter our differences in life!

In God We Trust…amen

America’s Curse Can Be Broken…

by 1 Comment

 We must remember that God has never changed and that He continues to hate sin in the church. In the book of Malachi 3 the Lord says,”Return to Me, and I will return to you.” And then He goes on to tell us how we have robbed Him of our tithes and offerings which brought on a curse to the whole nation.
 
 Can you see this curse on America and how we have quit giving our best to the Lord? Can you see how so many churches have even drifted away from the true Word of God in allowing the world in the church? How many homes stand for what is right by God and wrong in sin in allowing the enemy to come right in?

 The Church is to be the light in the world and each one of us should be a candle that adds to the light of Jesus Christ. It is so easy to sit back and moan and groan in the darkness of this world or in our own sorrows but what good will this do?

 I challenge you today and every other day to add some light in all the darkness of this world. For I firmly believe all things are possible with God and if we all would join together to make a stand I firmly believe that the Lord will once again bless this land.

 Some may disagree in how far we have fallen but since when are we to give up? As long as we have breath there is hope and all it takes is the body working together as one to make a difference in this world…amen

Never Hold Back…

by Leave a Comment

In the very beginning of the Holy Bible we were taught in the life of Cain and Abel in how to give the best of not only what we have but of ourselves to the Lord.

This same lesson was also taught in Abraham in the willingness to give the life of his son. Later as you know our Father in Heaven gave us His Son which has been the best gift in life.

Even after the resurection of Jesus Christ we were taught this lesson in the book of Acts 5 between a man and his wife in not only holding back their proceeds but they held back the truth which could have set them free.

It is very easy in life to only give what we want while keeping the best for ourselves, but based on the Word of God we are to give our best in everything we do in allowing the Lord to work through each of us in giving Him all the praise.

How can we move forward if we hold back? As true Christians on the team of Jesus we must perform to the best of our God given talents and give the best to the Lord in never holding anything back for ourselves. The Lord is our provider and when we give our best then the Lord will take care of the rest…amen

The World In The Church

by Leave a Comment

 It is sad but true how many churches have allowed the darkness of the world to enter into their doors by forgetting that the church is to be the light in the world. This has happened over time due to tolerance, complacency, selfish desires and some in pure survival of trying to keep the people in the church.  The church is not a place to be shaped by the world but a place to stand firm in the Word of God!

 Since when did the Word of God change? Since when did the Lord say to please man instead of God? And we wonder what has happened to the overall church body and why America claims to be a non-christian nation…How blind and deaf do we have to be?

 They say we can’t speak the Truth in the Word of God because it might offend someone or we can’t say something when we are led by the Lord because this will be out of order. But then we sit back and complain of the empty pughs in the church while America continues its downward spiral in sin.  

 When our lives are right through Jesus Christ and we speak the Truth in the Word of God that might upset someone else then so be it!!! The Truth hurts when we know we are guilty, but that is between the sinner in the conviction of the Holy Spirit and God in how they handle it. I refuse to bow down to Satan in telling me that I can’t speak of my salvation in Jesus Christ!!! For my God is God Almighty and the Creator of Heaven and earth! My Lord is Jesus Christ which has given me mercy in the Lord’s loving grace which has saved me from this fallen place. I praise God everday given because I am so undeserving for the grace which I have received and I was once so lost in the world but now I am found…

 Uncover your lamp and let it shine in the darkness of this world and never allow Satan to cover it up!!! It is amazing at how we can see when we properly believe…amen

One Day At A Time

by 2 Comments

  There are two things we are guaranteed in this physical life and these same two things are so neglected in life and death. It is so easy to just go through life neglecting what we have been given and especially when we become so wrapped up in our surroundings. Why is it we don’t miss something until it is lost? It is sad but true how we so often neglect the life we have until it is taken away.

  It is imperative in this physical life to understand its purpose in order to understand the next eternal life through Jesus Christ. Our daily walk is a gift in everything we are given and even our struggles are blessings when we learn to look at them as growing experiences because the Lord teaches us that “He disciplines those which He loves.”

 We all have our own individual struggles or as Paul say’s a thorn in our side. When we face these times look at them to find the answers in which you need to overcome where you have been to insure you never fall to them again. Whoever said life was easy? In our human nature we want everything to come so easily but we must remember the appreciation in what we have when we gain something that we work for. 

 The Lord plainly tells us to take life one day at a time for there are enough worries in the day than to worry about tomorrow. So when you look at your trials take them one day at a time minute by minute and search for the answers in prayer by learning to trust in the Lord that He will bring you through because He cares. Be wise in your steps while applying His instruction to give you the direction and strength in which you need to succeed.

  I challenge you today and every other day to enjoy it as if it were your last while doing the best you can in everything you do to reflect the love of Jesus within you.

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…
