Seasons Come & Seasons Go

by Leave a Comment

 God gives us everything for a season to learn and to help prepare us for our future. Sometimes we stay in a season that seems like it will never change and these are times that we are to hold on because God will send us some relief along the way. During these seasons that seem to go on forever it is wise to be alert to those that are walking by.

 For sometimes when we feel stuck is when God has us in a certain place for a certain time to grow and to help someone else along the Way. The object in this life is to learn how to allow God to move us forward and to recognize when He wants us to sit still. God gives us our purpose when we learn to follow His desires rather than our own.

 For there is peace in each season when we learn how to appreciate the time that we are given and how to recognize the changes that are to come…amen

The Ripple Affect Of God

by Leave a Comment

 Often things happen in life that we have no control over and that we can’t even explain. Sometimes when things happen others are affected unintentionally due to the ripple affects of the wave. Unfortunately in our human nature we tend to get upset when someone rocks the boat that we are in because we never take the time to look beyond the wave that we see.

 All waves start from something that are either put in place by God or allowed by God and until we learn how to recognize the purpose of the wave we will never understand the lesson that needs to be learned. Sometimes when waves come our way they are a test to not only show us what we may need to work on but they are also a test to show us the spiritual enemies that we sometimes have to face.

 The object in this life is to learn how to ride the waves in the hand of God while learning to recognize the waves that we may need to avoid. Sometimes we need to get rolled around in the waves of the sea in order for God to teach us in whom to believe…amen

There Is Liberty & Freedom With God

by Leave a Comment

 In this life we may face many injustices and things which we do not understand. We may even be falsely accused or misunderstood by our family and friends. There will be times that we may feel unappreciated for the love that we show and times that our ideas may be completely ignored. But there is one thing that we all should remember and that is to praise God in the days that we are given for He sees and remembers all the good that we do.

 It is up to the Lord to decide the timing and the appropriateness of our rewards. Because if we do not put our trust in Him to vindicate us in His timing and not our own then we are setting ourselves up spiritually for Satan to take us down in hatred or in self pity. It is vital to recognize that our rewards do not come in this life for the ones that we receive here are only the blessings that God gives with the intentions for us to bless others.

 When we learn to place our trust in the Lord is when we can begin to experience the peace that comes only from God. Not only will we experience this peace but God will also set us free from the worries of how others may perceive us when we learn in whom to believe. This is true freedom and liberty that is only given by God and can not be achieved by man…amen

Are You Feeling Pressured?

by Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in the flesh to measure ourselves through our accomplishments in the world but in the Kingdom of God true greatness is determined by the level of service that we provide to others. Spiritually Satan is very active in our achievements because he knows how we tend to forget who got us to where we are and how we tend to compare ourselves to the standards of the world. Another reason that Satan is very active in this area is because he knows the weakness in our human nature when we allow the pressures of achieving a goal to rob us of who we are or who we can be.

 Pressures often cause us to make wrong decisions, fall into depression, and they even increase our anxieties when we do not know how to trust in God. For there is no pressure with God but only peace in knowing that if it is in the Lords will then it will come to pass in His timing and not in ours. If you are feeling pressured today I challenge you to take a step back and ask God to give you the peace that you need to understand where you are. For when we understand where we are is when we can begin to plan for where we are going…amen

Fill Your Life With Purpose

by Leave a Comment

 A relationship with God changes a meaningless life into a life with spiritual productivity and purpose. For when we live for ourselves there is a void of emptiness and dissatisfaction that we try to fill with things of this world that only last for a little while. There is nothing on this earth that can compare to a relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ and when we begin to seek the Lord’s will for our life then He will begin to show us the Way…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…
