Can You Hear The Music Of God?

January 14, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 How many times do we read something without taking the time to really hear what is being said because we are too stuck in the physical and miss the message in the spiritual. God wants us to stop and listen to our hearts without allowing the world to distort the message. The Lord speaks in many different ways yet man does not perceive it simply because they have never learned how to stop and recognize the spiritual messages before them. Here is a message the Lord placed in my spirit and I pray that you will take your eyes off of the deliver to receive something from the Giver… 

 Our character traits are like keys on a piano when you really think about it!  If we only learn one way then how can we expect to learn the art of living? There is a balance to stay in tune along with certain lines to not cross.  But the important factor to remember is if we miss a certain note or child, then that trait may struggle or possibly never be developed.  No one can play the perfect tune due to each individual has a difference. But what matters is the common ground in which we all stand and learn to love what God has given each of us in this land. 

  Learn the character traits to promote growth and watch the music of your child come to life.  Because there is nothing more gratifying than the love of a child looking up to it’s parents.  This is what the Lord enjoys when we focus on Him and learn how to live each and every day.  The Lord rejoices when He hears and sees the music of true love on our hearts.  So as you develop your character, don’t overlook certain keys because you never know when we could get knocked to our knees. It is crucial to know our children and realize that our lives guide their future. 

 There is only one Perfect Father and one Perfect Son who taught us the meaning of two being one.  Life does not stop with us and we have already been given everything we need so search the Word of God and learn to follow Jesus’ lead.  (To God All Glory, Amen)

Can You Hear The Gentle Whisper?

January 13, 2011 by admin 7 Comments

 The object in life is to learn how to walk with God through the love of Jesus Christ to serve His purpose and not our own. For there is a time to walk, a time to jog, a time to skip, a time to run and a time rest as we learn to give our best. As a youth we like to run, but as we mature we should be learning the wisdom in knowing when to move with God and when not to simply stay in tune. For if all we do is run without learning to stop with God then how can we honestly expect to truly listen?

 Here is a message that God whispered in my ear after prayer one morning in a chapel as I looked over to the piano that I so love to hear. No one was in the room but the spirit of God and myself as I walked over to the instrument to play a tune. In my walk I said,” Okay Lord, you say we can do anything if we have faith even move mountains if we believe. Not knowing the first thing about playing the piano I closed my eyes and touched one key to then hear these words upon my heart.

 “The note of a piano string, how far do you hear it fading away? Do you interupt its sound before it is complete? Or, do you start another key so the notes may meet. Each note has a specific tone to its faded end and it is in this appreciation we learn to love each note to the very end. If you choose to meet one key to another let them blend in harmony together so their music will last forever. It is in this process of unity between the keys that we can hear the music of God in the air that is being played every where.”

 I must admit that I can not play the piano like a gifted musician but in those few keys that were softly touched I heard those words spoken in the notes that were played. Can you hear the music that is all around and hear God’s whispers that speak to us in His beautiful sounds? Until we learn how to stop we will never learn how to listen…Amen

Jesus Is Standing At The Door

January 10, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 This morning as I stood at the bedroom door of my son that was waking up the Lord inspired me to share a word with him that I am now passing on to you. My heart was full of love for my son as I stood there at the door and then as he was opening His eyes I said,” There will be a day that I will not be here any longer but do you know that Jesus will always be standing here at the door and He is always by your side?” My son nodded his head in agreement as I placed that reminding seed of comfort and accountability.

 With this being said to my son here is the part that really touched my heart. That overwhelming feeling of love that I felt there for my son is only a fraction of the love that our Father in Heaven has for each of us. For Jesus is standing at the door waiting on us to Wake Up and enter into the arms of our Father in Heaven above. Jesus does not yell to wake us up nor does He jump up and down in making loud sounds.

 For the Lord speaks in a gentle whisper of love with strength that soothes the soul…

There Is Power In Prayer

January 7, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.  Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.  And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.  Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.  Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.  And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.    
  Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,  let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins…James 5:13-20

Looking For Peace

January 5, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.  But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.  This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.  For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.  But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.  Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. James 3:13-18

 While reading this scripture written by James, the brother of Jesus, I am curious if any part of it may have stung or caused a little discomfort? If so praise God because then that means that He loves you and He wants you to address the sting. As we are taught with Pharoah if we continue to neglect the Truth of God then our hearts can harden to a point that will not only destroy us but they can affect our families as well.

 I plead with you from my heart to yours to not allow Satan to spiritually rob you of the peace that can be experienced with God when we become transparent and obedient in His Word…

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…
