Let’s Praise God For Where We Are

by Leave a Comment

 It is very easy to allow the negativity that is in world to rob us of the victory and joy that we have. We should be praising God for what is taking place here in America today because to my limited knowledge there has never been a time as this that Christians have began to stand up and speak for what they know in their hearts and soul.

 There is Victory in our trials when we recognize where we have gone wrong and we begin to rebuild what has been broken from before. Spiritually Satan wants to consume us with the negativity and make us feel that there is no hope when there really is. As long as we have breath we have life and in life we have God who makes the impossible possible for us to overcome when we learn to trust in Him rather than within our own limitations.

 If you are feeling pressured, depressed, scared or simply sad ask yourself,”Why?” Because if God has given you the life to read this message then He has given you the strength to make a positive difference in where you are…amen

God Confirms Our Positions

by Leave a Comment

 Our society over the past 40 years here in America has really lost sight of how God is the Creator and giver of everything that we have. Can you imagine what the world would say to King David today if He were to run for President? Can you imagine what the world would say today to one of the disciples that stepped forward to preach God’s Word?

 Do you think that the world would tell any of these men that they were not qualified due to their lack of degrees on the wall? What would the world have to say about these men if there was a background check to insure who they are? How far have we drifted away from God and placed our security in the world instead of recognizing the spirit of God that gives us our direction?

 There is a parallel to the time today here in America to the time of the Pharisees in Israel that Jesus spoke of in the New Testament. They were so blind due to the physical requirements of man that they missed the hand of God that was right before them. This morning I leave you with this question upon your heart,”Are you looking for God in the spiritual eye or are looking at the physical and totally missing the spiritual?”   

 There is no human logic with God that can comprehend who gives and takes away. It is not our place to understand but it is our place to follow…amen

Where Is Your Security?

by 1 Comment

 It is wise in the physical being to establish a plan with provisions before we step out into the world. In the eyes of man we don’t understand how to place our security in something that we do not physicaly see. Throughout the Word of God we are taught to have faith in God and that He will provide our needs when we are called to serve Him rather than serving ourselves.

 Can you imagine what someone would say to Jesus today if He called their name and said,” Drop what you are doing to follow me?” Can you imagine what those around you would say to you if you were to take that step of faith? So many times we miss what God has before us because we place our security in this physical world instead of trusting in God to give us what we need to move forward.

 I leave you this morning with a question upon your heart to insure the security that you have. If everything in the world was to disappear today would you be able to sit under that oak tree and whistle Dixie if you were all alone?      

When we begin to trust God for what we do not see is when God often shows us something that we never expected…amen

Steps Of Faith

by Leave a Comment

 In life we all take steps of faith whether we know it or not. As a child we walk in steps of faith relying on those to properly guide us in love and as we mature we are to leave that umbrella that is held up by others to learn how to hold one up on our own. In business we take steps of faith in trusting that those around us will do their jobs in order to fulfill the service or product that we may provide.

 One of the most important things to ever confirm is that God is in front of the steps that we take to insure the path that we are on. For when God is not the one guiding our direction then our steps of faith become steps in the flesh and these steps are destined to fall…

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

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…
