Tests Of God Strengthens Our Faith…

by 1 Comment

 When faced with a difficult decision don’t allow impatience to drive you to disobey God. When you know what God wants in your life then follow His plan regardless of the consequences . God often uses delays to test our obedience and patience but far too often we struggle to trust God when we feel our resources are slipping away.  

 The Lord tells us that He will never leave us nor forsake us and His Word is always proven true. Sometimes the very  things that we feel slipping away happen for a reason and the object is to recognize the season. For some things we think we need are not what we need and sometimes what we try to hold on to is the very thing that God is trying to show us that we need to let go of. 

 When we learn how to let go of the side of the boat and place our trust totally in Him with our eyes upon Jesus is when God will teach us how to walk on water and reach the other side. Too many times we scramble for the side of the boat simply because we do not know how to let it go…

Find Your Purpose…

by Leave a Comment

 Often we think that events ” just happen” to us but as we draw closer to God’s Word we can see how God uses common occurences to lead us where He wants. It is important to evaluate all situations as potential “divine appointments” designed to shape our lives by the hand of our Father in Heaven. Think of all the good and bad circumstances that have affected you lately and throughhout your life. Can you see God’s purpose in them? Perhaps He is building a certaiun quality in you or leading you to serve Him in a new area.

 There is a reason that things happen to us and the object is to not allow Satan to spiritually hold us down but learn how God can stand us up to discover our true purpose in life through Jesus Christ…For when we learn from the spiritual traps of Satan is when the Lord will make us stronger and wiser in the future…

Unity Requires Trust

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever really considered the lesson of Joshua and Caleb when they were ready to go forward into the Promised Land but the others on their team being the Israelites lacked faith in God because they could not take their eyes off of man? Think about it! If you have a team that carries specific talents and they are in their positions but fail to trust in one another then how far do you honestly expect the team to go? Could you see that the team would lack harmony due to their lack of unity?

 This same principle applies in our homes, our careers and in the church. For without trust their is a constant battle for the ball and this causes many people to miss the ones that have received God’s call. It is vital to understand that we all drop the ball from time to time but what matters is how we pick the ball back up and get back in the game!

The Trickery of Satan

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever been at a point where you felt as if you could not trust someone and that you had to watch every move they made? Did you ever feel like if you missed something that it would be the very moment that something might take place? Spiritually Satan works in our minds with distrust because he knows how it can rob us and in-prison our spiritual being.

 When we have lack of trust this displays our spiritual immaturity and it can lead to a controlling spirit. Within this controlling spirit Satan will try to misguide us in our  human efforts instead of understanding the true meaning of love.If you are holding on to something in distrust then you are allowing Satan to spiritually rob you of the blessings that could be right around the corner.

  Jesus knew that Judas was a thief and Jesus knew that Peter would deny Him but did He allow this to detour His love or distract Him from the mission? Jesus plainly taught us Psalm 118:8 in placing our trust in God instead of placing confidence in man. When we learn how to place our trust in God is when the Lord will bring down the spiritual walls of Satan that restrict us from the blessings of God….

God Is In Control…

by Leave a Comment

 God is always at work in this world even when we can’t see what He is doing. No matter what kinds of pressures we must endure or how many changes we must face God is ultimately in control of our situation. Being confident of God’s sovereignty, we can face the difficult situations in our lives with love and boldness.

 With God in our lives we have positive attitudes in every situation. For we know that where we are or what we are going through is only temporary…

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…
