How To Reach The Other Side…

March 7, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

How careful are you to obey the instructions of God? The older generation that traveled with Joshua in the wilderness took God’s instruction too lightly and they missed the boat to get to the other side. Don’t be fooled spiritually by Satan and think that you can reach God’s promise without being obedient to His Word. Until we learn how to work together in the love of God with unity and without strife between us we will only continue to stand at the edge of the river in wishing that we can get to the other side.

How can we achieve something if we don’t know how to work together in one spirit? The object is to know the spirit that is guiding us and to follow as God instructs. This same principle applies in our relationships from our homes to our careers. For what kind of relationship can we truly expect if all we do is work against one another instead of learning how to work together in the unity of God?

Repentance Brings Restoration

March 5, 2011 by admin 2 Comments

Throughout the Instruction of God that was delivered through Moses to help us and guide us to reach the promises of our Father in Heaven above we learn how to maintain what we have been given by God and how to keep our perspective without allowing the things of this world to knock us off course. Without our foundation being anchored by God our homes and our nation are vulnerable to the spiritual snares and traps of Satan.

It is easy to see how America has lost it’s flame that it once carried due to separating itself from the Eternal source. Fortunately there are still some coals where the fire once burned. If we do not learn how to come together without division and learn how to serve with order then we might as well prepare for what is sure to come. There is a much higher purpose in why we are here and if we do not repent as a nation for our national sin then we will only continue to deteriate from within.

Judgement is upon us due to our disobedience as a nation and there is a spirit of Pharisee that is blinding our leaders and suppressing the spirit of God! This suppression is soon to be overcome because man is no match for our living God! Once this fresh anointing reaches the coals and the embers begin to unite is when the spiritual revival will ignite!

Without our nation returning to God with repentance and turning from our evil ways America’s days are numbered. The only Way for us to be restored is to return to God and to begin to address the roots of our problems for our countries future. The longer we avoid this Truth the further we will fall and the chances of recovery will be slim to none.

It is easy to patch our problems with money or with fake smiles but until we learn to face the Truth and trust in God for our answers then we are only fooling ourselves in the spiritual snares of Satan. The answers to our problems are simple and the only reason they get complexed is because we try to fix them without seriously addressing them! Sometimes in life we have to just cut to the bone in love in order to get rid of the infection. Once the infection is addressed it is our place to allow God to do the healing as we take heed to His Word.

The time is right before us and it is my sincere prayer that every reader grabs hold of this message and helps spread the fire in God’s Word! The fire of God does not burn the bush to ashes but it shows us how He is the One that keeps us alive and carries us forward….Amen

Therefore take careful heed to yourselves, that you love the LORD your God. Or else, if indeed you do go back, and cling to the remnant of these nations—these that remain among you—and make marriages with them, and go in to them and they to you, know for certain that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. But they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the LORD your God has given you. Joshua 23

What Are Your Motives?

March 2, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

How often do you stop and perform a self check in the mirror of God to examine who or what is driving you? This is very important to understand and to stay in check with because if we are not careful Satan can spiritually take us off coarse. Think about it! Do you do things trying to keep up with someone else? When someone else speaks are driven harder out of love or spite to speak yourself? Why do you go to church out of obligation or out of love? Do you have people in your life that you feel one way about but act another in front of them? Are you being completely honest with your friends and family or are you hiding how you really feel? Why do you work? Is it to one day enjoy your time off or is to build yourself up because you do not know who you are? Do you perform for the awards or do perform just to be the best you can be with humility?

There are many different answers to these questions and there are many more questions that need to be asked. If we do not examine our motives and keep them in check then it is easy to get taken off course. This leads to fatigue due to our human effort which then leads to a fire that will eventually fizzle out. If you were to examine your fire in your work, your school, your church, your marriage, your friends and most importantly with God would you find any hot coals or would they basically be ashes?

If you want to keep your fire burning do it out of love and not out of anger or obligation. For there is no better fire than one that heats others instead of trying to keep the heat for ourselves. Act in love and watch what you will receive in return…

“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” Colossians 3:23

How Easily Are You Influenced?

March 1, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

The world is full of deceptive ways to influence our decisions and to remove our focus from our foundation from God. Israel fell to this throughout the book of Judges and this same lesson applies to us individually when we don’t listen for God and we begin to listen to man. We are very vulnerable to Satan when we drift away from God and when we allow what we see to influence the choices that we make.

Think about it! If you were seeking financial advice from an individual and you had the choice between someone with a Mercedes or someone in some type of old car which one would you choose? Now, with your choice let’s consider your first question for the financial advisor. Don’t you think that it would be wise to ask the debt on each mans car? For the one without the debt would be the wisest of the two.

The point of this message is this,”Do not be judgemental and stay close to God to insure the right decisions being made.”

Who Deceides Your Fate?

February 28, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

It is very important that we learn how to listen and recognize what is of God compared to what is of man. In 1 Samuel 26 the Lord teaches us through the wisdom of David to insure our decisions to be of God and not to be of man. How do we do this you may ask? First we listen to what is being said and then we test it to God’s Word as we are taught in 1 Thessalonians 5.

In listening to someone that is giving direction it is vital to look beyond the immediate and to understand the future objectives before we jump on board. For if the objectives do not line up in the Word of God than the answer to the question is plain and simple. Don’t allow your decisions to be influenced by what you think you see without taking the time to understand the objectives. Always recall that when something is of God it will be serving others and that Satan will work in many ways to detour and try to stop what God is taking forward.

So before you make a decision it is wise to seek Godly council to insure the steps that you take. All someone can do is give you council and it is up to you to seek God for the confirmation you need to go forward. Don’t move without God guiding your steps in order to insure the foundation in which you stand…
