Unconditional Love

October 15, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 In the Word of God it teaches us to unite and serve one another in unconditional love without partiality. Why is it that we can’t even do this in our churches muchless in our own homes? Have we forgotten the command of loving thy neighbor as thyself and learning how to unite in our heart and mind? Have we as Christians allowed Satan to spiritually enter into our own minds that we can’t even trust our own brothers or sisters in Christ?

 It is pathetic in how much distrust is in the world and how it has entered the church. This is what happens when we drift away from the true teachings in the Word of God and we forget who is really in control. The lack of true love that is being portrayed in the body is restricting the spirit and causing disunity within the family due to the lack of trust that is being portrayed.

 When we learn to love unconditionally there is a bond that can’t be broken and this love is what encourages others to build higher than before. If we can’t stand on the Rock in unconditional love then maybe we still need to be introduced to the Rock that we have not met.   For if we are claiming to stand on the rock but we are showing partiality to some then where is this injustice coming from?

 Unconditional love is what God has given to us in His mercy and grace and the question is are we displaying this same love because we are seeking His face? Don’t come up short when your time is called for it would be sad to hear those words to depart from me for I never knew you…

Be Wise To The Waters

October 7, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Did you know the bigger the house the more room for clutter? The bigger the house the more expense is required to maintain the clutter. Here is the interesting part that takes place in our human nature when our lives or our homes are full of junk. We fail to recognize how to let go of something until we have no choice but to watch it fall.

 The object is to be wise to the waters that slowly rise and to the waters that slowly fade away. When we build our lives, our homes and our nation on these principles then we are better prepared for the tides as they come and go. It is when we forget this simple economic principle that we lose balance in what we have been given and then we try everything to stay a float.

 Our boats can only carry so much and the balance is crucial to maintain the coarse. Without God as our Captain in our lives, our homes and in our nation then we are destined to be swept away in the tides of this world. When we keep our lives in tune with God He will prepare us for what is to come and He will show us the Way…amen

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

God Gives Us Clarity & Vision

September 11, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 The further that we drift away from God the more distorted our vision becomes. This drift often starts with a small step in the wrong direction into the darkness of the world. There is an interesting discovery in this understanding of the Truth and that is,”As one walks from the darkness towards the light they tend to see even more but as one that walks from the light into the darkness they tend to lose sight to the point that they can not even see themselves.”

 God gives us clarity and vision in the light of Jesus Christ to see through the darkness of this world to reach the other side. Without the love of Jesus in our hearts and soul we often follow the principles of God but forget how we are to love each other unconditionally as He loves us. When we lack the understanding in the Word of God of how to recognize the darkness it is very easy to allow ourselves to fall into the spiritual traps of Satan that are in place to hold us back. 

 There are two distinct parts that we should recognize between the purity of the light and the confusion in the darkness. As one travels from the darkness to the light it is important to recognize that in this physical life there will always be obstructions trying to block the Way. In these obstructions we should look at them as curve balls or as temporary detours because in this walk towards the light sometimes we have to to take a step back in order to learn how to move forward. The object in the curve balls that we see is to learn the spirit of the pitch in order to bring ourselves back home. For when we learn how to recognize the spirit that we are dealing with is when we are learning the art of the game. 

 It is so easy in our human nature to allow our eyes to only see the the objects or hurdles that we have before us but in the vision that God gives we are to always seek the light to help us overcome the darkness.  When we learn to walk with Jesus our vision lifts from this temporary world to see the spiritual test that we have before us in order to learn how to grow in our faith and how to maintain the coarse that God provides. We are to never lose hope no matter how dark things may seem and it is through our faith that God will always carry us through…amen

 The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good your whole body will be full of light. Matthew 6:22

God Is To Be The Governor Of Our Lives

September 10, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever noticed how the human race tries to create something that they can not? There are scientist trying to create life and they can’t even properly explain our birth. There have been leaders that tried to create specific atmospheres like Hitler, Sodom and others who restricted the people because they could not properly govern the people. There have been churches that developed so many rules that they have quenched the Spirit of God due to their own lack of understanding of how to trust in God rather than in man. 

 It is vital that we recognize the difference between a controlling atmosphere and the climate of God that is governed with self discipline to maintain the freedom that we have been given. Over the years of individuals getting away from the Truth in the Holy Bible and not teaching the spiritual deception of Satan man has developed man made rules to follow due to the less work that is required to properly teach what needs to be taught in the Word of God.

 When we do not teach our children how to maintain their freedom through the Word of God and how to seek God for the guidance in the choices that they have to make then we are only setting them up to be devoured by Satan in their unbridled emotions that will cause them many heartaches and pains. In the freedom of God we learn to appreciate His command to maintain what we have been given and to grow stronger for our children’s future. For when we learn to truly love one another is when we learn to appreciate what it takes to maintain the love that we have…amen

 If we do not know how to stand on the principles of God then all we will ever do is continue to fall…

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…
