Be A Leader, Not A Rebel

September 25, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 It is not hard to recognize the divisions and rebellion that is taking place here in America due to the lack of leadership in our country. When you really break all of this down we find that this revolt in authority actually began in our homes as we failed to properly teach the Word of God through the love of Jesus Christ. No where in the Holy Bible does God teach us to rebel nor does He teach us to not respect our authority. Instead He teaches us to pray for our leaders whether we agree with them or not and to recognize the lesson that we encounter when we allow our homes to drift away from the Will of God.

 This country was built on the foundation of God for the people and it is our leaderships responsibility to stand up for what is right by God to maintain the order within our homes. This is no different than the roll of every father that is to lead their home with the integrity and self discipline that is taught in the Word of God for the security within the family. Without individuals that are willing to stand up for what is simply right and wrong by God in our homes and in our nation this country is destined to lose its way without the direction of God.

 There are groups being formed like the Black Robe Regiment, the TEA Party and others that consist of Americans that are simply tired of the road that is being traveled here in America. The world likes to call them radicals and many others like to place them is some sort of criteria to hurt their image but what these groups consist of is your day to day Americans and Christians that are deeply concerned with the direction that this country is headed. Some of the media has labeled these groups as rebels but what person that stands up for the rights of the people , like Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela,  are not categorized as some sort of rebel?

  When we really break this down even further in someone being called a rebel how do you think that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was categorized before His persecution? God did not send His Son here to cause rebellion among the believers but to give us the assurance in the love of God that teaches us that their is much more to this life than what we see.

 In every home and in every business there comes a point that someone must stand up and learn how to communicate in love to break the spiritual chains that are not only holding us back but to maintain the integrity within the body for our childrens future. What many people are not recognizing is the spiritual battle that is taking place here on earth because of their focus being too fixed on the world and forgetting our Creator in Heaven above. The only way for us to combat the strongholds of Satan is in the name of Jesus while being obedient to the Word of God for Him to bring down the walls instead of us trying to do it on our own. This is where the emotional state is very dangerous in activist because they stand up for something that is right by God but they don’t know how to get the job done in the love of Jesus Christ and allow their emotions to to guide their actions.  

 America would be amazed at what can take place when we insert Jesus into the picture to bring down the walls that are holding us back. The Lord teaches us to have unity in the body with God in front and then the Lord will give us the direction which we need to overcome anything that we have before us. I challenge you today speak the name of Jesus and to learn the wisdom that is taught in the Word of God that teaches us to place our trust in Him instead of in man…amen

 Without God there would be no more American form of government, nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first– the most basic–expression of Americanism. Thus, the Founding Father’s of America saw it, and thus with God’s help, it will continue to be. President Dwight Eisenhower / 1955

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

America Is Lost Without God

August 21, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Throughout the Word of God in the Holy Bible we learn the different characteristics of our human nature and we learn the weaknesses in our flesh when we begin to drift away from God by placing our eyes upon man rather than staying focused on the Lord. In the book of 1 Samuel God teaches us one of the most important lessons in life right out of the gate when the people rejected God and began to desire the leadership of man.

 The people were tired of leaders that abused their positions by placing heavy burdens upon the people due to serving themselves rather than properly serving the will of God. During this period of time with Samuel and the passing of the chain of command to Saul God taught us a vital lesson of how not to look at the outward appearance of man nor his family statue but to look at the heart of a man to recognize who they follow.

 Our Father in Heaven taught us this lesson for a specific reason in order to help us make wise decisions in our future when we select our leaders because He knows how we tend to rely on what we see rather than trusting in God in whom we believe. In this lesson with Saul becoming our first King or President, God teaches us the importance of our leaders seeking God for council prior to making decisions which could have a negative impact on the people.

 The problem that we have today is that many of our leaders are not seeking God for proper council and taking matters into their own hands as Saul did back in this period of time. Many of our leaders are allowing worldly advice to influence their decisions and allowing selfish motives to guide their actions. This same lesson was taught with Moses when he allowed the pressures of the people to guide his actions as a leader instead of following the instruction of God to maintain the position that he had been given.

 Due to our society continuing to drift away from the Word of God and looking for answers in the world this has allowed a majority of our population to become vulnerable and confused. In this vulnerable state of America from the suppression of the minority to the suppression of the poor many of our leaders have learned how to use these spiritual oppressions of the people to achieve their positions of power in order to serve themselves rather than properly following the instruction of God.

 No one should seek a position of leadership without being led by God to serve the people and when we elect our leaders it is vital that we listen to God rather than to man. As Martin Luther King Jr. was called we learn that our leaders that are driven by God are to help us to move forward by walking with us to overcome our struggles rather than trying to hold us down in order to maintain their own positions.

 It is easy to talk about change and prey upon the emotions of the people to influence their decisions but when we make decisions based on our emotions without truly evaluating the motives behind the individuals then we are only setting ourselves up for harder times in the future. This is why we are in the state of economic crisis that we are in here in America due to the world preying upon our emotions in our spontaneous decisions. The same principle applies to children out of wed lock and the high divorce rate here in America because we have allowed our emotions to guide our actions rather than understanding the self discipline that is required to maintain the freedom in the love that God has given.

 Real change first starts within ourselves and then spreads to our homes then to our communities. The world likes to think that money is the answer and that our  leaders are the ones that can make a difference and this is where the world is wrong! For real change starts at the foundation or the bottom and then works its’ way back up to the top while never forgetting the importance of maintaining the foundation from which we stand in order for God to continue to bless our land.

 It is in our human nature to want someone else to do the work but we must recall that it is our individual responsibility under God to maintain the integrity of our homes and of our nation in order to maintain something for our children’s future…amen

 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man… Psalm 118:8

The Spirit Of God Is Calling Out

August 6, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 God teaches us that our actions display in whom we serve whether being our self, Satan or the Kingdom of God. When we drift away from the Lord it becomes very easy to neglect our responsibilities under God and neglect how we are serve others instead of ourselves. Why is it that we see so many churches chasing one another and trying to make the grand event? Why do so many Christians speak on having faith and trusting in God while their barns are full and overlook the needs of those in the crowd? Why is it that we complain about our government getting larger when the overall church is getting smaller? What is wrong with this picture?

 Do you think maybe we as Christians have neglected our responsibilities under God and passed on to others what we do not want to do?  The world says we need money stored up for rainy days while Jesus says to have faith and trust in God to supply our needs.  How long must we continue to sleep before we Wake Up to the Truth and help rebuild what the world has torn down? God has already given us everything we need to rebuild our nation here in America and until we quit fighting within ourselves and begin to love our neighbors as thyself America is only going to continue to lose what we have been given.

 Join me in prayer daily for God to open our eyes once again as One Nation Under God that was founded for the people and not for ourselves. For when we begin to help each other however God provides is when this nation will begin to rebuild and Stand again…amen

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

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…
