The Angel That Dropped In

December 22, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It was the night before Christmas and all through the house the family was struggling and broken due to some issues that were as small as a mouse. The tree was decorated with lights that flickered all around but unfortunately due to the severed families some children were missing and very few children were gathered around. Hearts were hurting in disguise while some children simply hid their inner cries due to the lack of unity in the family of God. The home was barely full with strife in the air due to the busy schedules and the children that were scattered everywhere.

 As the children began to cry out from their hearts for those that were lost to come home all of a sudden an Angel dropped in and began to sing a beautiful song. On this Holy Night that Jesus was born the Angel began to tell them how their hearts can be healed from where they had been scorned. The Angel said that God so loved the world that He sent His Firstborn so that the family of God will no longer be splintered or torn. As the Angels sang in the spirit of God the childrens tears of pain turned to tears of joy that fell like rain.

 When the elders heard the children’s cries they stopped in to see what was taken place and then all of a sudden the Angel showed them His face. There were no questions asked or doubts of speculation in what was taking place in Gods mercy and unfailing grace.  As they all began to look for their children at the foot of the tree they were amazed at what they saw because the children had replaced the tree with a cross. The adults were so taken at this sight in the childrens unity that they knew better than to ask what was wrong because they knew the children were right. 

 “It was time that we learned from our past in putting aside our differences for the family to be restored,” the Angel spoke. Then all of a sudden as the people began to come together in God’s unconditional love more Angels began appear relieving the people of their fears because they knew God was near. There was a sweet melody that could be heard from the house in the spirit of God that reached the streets during that Silent Night which restored the treasures of the love within the heart of the home.

  These gifts which were received were not gifts that grew old because everyone began to realize their purpose in life through the love of Jesus Christ. We all have miracle moments and praises from big to small and it is our place to always try to share them all. For we are all equal at the foot of the cross and God so loves each one of us that He sent His Only Son to keep us from being lost.

  As the night came to a close for a new day to begin the family went to bed with a new sense of peace between their family and friends. They knew their home was safe and secure because of their salvation in Jesus Christ and they praised God for simply sending His Angel that dropped in….Amen

Ice Skating With God

December 9, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever stood at the edge of a pond that was frozen and left one foot on solid ground while placing your other foot on the ice to test its strength? Once you felt the strength of the ice did you make a step of faith in lifting your other foot to stand on the frozen pond? Can you recall the uncertainties of stepping on the ice and the relief that was gained once you realized the ice was strong enough to hold you up?

 Did you know that we are tested everyday to too see how we will react and to help us build strength to reach the other side? Our lives can be like a frozen body of water without the love of Jesus to help keep us warm. Everyday we encounter different spiritual test that are there to help us walk further in faith while knowing that the hand of God is always there to help carry us forward.

 Often we wonder why we encounter the things that we do but these test that we face are there to help us grow in God’s love with a deeper understanding of how to serve and how to trust. Don’t be robbed spiritually by Satan and only stand on the edge of the frozen pond! Once you take that step of faith there is nothing like playing on the ice in the hands of God while feeling the presence of His Holy Angels all around…Amen

What Is Your Story Of Truth?

November 30, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Did you know your life is another story of truth that could be written down in the Holy Bible? God gave us the beginning and the end from Genesis to Revelation and our life is somewhere in between. With this being said what story would be told in your life and what lessons would be shared with others? Are you living your life in accountability to God and being attentive to follow His Word?

 In every day that we are given there is something that God puts before us to do and when we are not being attentive to His Word we often let these times slip through. Be alert in every day that you are given and be ready to share the love of Jesus through your actions and words. God has us here for a reason and it should be our goal to seek His interest in our life and not our own desires.

 Look at everyday as an adventure with God with a story to be told. By looking at them one day at a time throughout the period of your life you will find that every year is a new chapter with an ending that is sure to come. It is my prayer that your book of life is one that grabs the attention of the Angels in Heaven above because you recognize the Creator and Author of your life through Jesus Christ…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…
