Never Under Estimate God

by Leave a Comment

God often works in unexpected ways. When He chooses people to fulfill His plans He always goes deeper than appearance, tradition, or position. He sometimes even surprises us by choosing the less obvious person, at least by human reasoning.

Always know that God can use us to carry out His plans even if we don’t think we have all the qualifications. All we have to do is follow and obey while listening to the Word of God that is placed on our heart to do our part. Circumstances are never so bad that they are beyond God’s help and we never know what good He may bring out of seemingly hopeless situatons!

All Things Are Possible With God

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever had an inner passion to drive you but along the way others only continued to discourage you due to their own lack of belief in the power of God? Have you ever been in a home where your own relatives beat you down when  you were only trying to stand up for what was right in the love of God? Have you ever been under a teacher in school who told you could not make it because you were not good enough? Have you ever had someone to count you out or look down upon you due to your background or your lack of worldly education? Has anyone ever discredited you due to your weak financial state? Or, have you ever simply felt inadequate due to your weak relationship with the Lord?

 There is no worse feeling than to have a passion that you know has been given by God and for it to be constantly stepped on due to man. This morning the Lord has placed on my heart to tell you this,”It does not matter where you have been or how many times you have fallen! All that matters is that you keep on picking yourself up and wiping the dust from your feet while seeking God to show you the Way!” 

 For the Lord says;

 Jeremiah 32:27,” I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?  Zechariah 8:6  this is what the LORD Almighty says: “It may seem marvelous to the remnant of this people at that time, but will it seem marvelous to me?” declares the LORD Almighty. And in Matthew 19:26,”But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”

 Never allow the world to discourage you or rob you of your inner passion and feel as if you can never reach your goals! The world is a rough sea but when you learn to trust in God and simply believe then He will send that fish that will help you reach the other side. I don’t care how dark your life may seem or how weak you may feel place your Trust In The Lord For He Is REAL!!!!

How Deep Is Your Love?

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever stepped on a frozen body of water and played on it as a child? Do you recall the sounds of the ice cracking as you applied more weight to the ice? Depending on the depth of the ice the sounds of the ice cracking can vary due to the amount of pressure that is applied. The object is when you are stepping on the ice to recognize the depth of the frozen water to insure just how far you can go. Because the further we travel on the ice in this world it can get thinner unless it is solid to the core.

  This same principle is taught in the Word of God to help us fill our hearts with God’s love and to help us develop a solid foundation. For when we allow the love of Jesus to fill our hearts and soul, His love then spreads from the inside and should be reflecting on the outside. For instance the way we react shows the depth of our love and the trust that we place in the Lord. This is why some people crack when they hear the Truth and snap back out of spite instead of out of love and understanding. 

 So the next time you face something that is uncomfortable in your spirit learn when to apply pressure and when not to insure that you don’t fall into something that could take you under. This battle is not of flesh and blood it is between the spirits that guide us in our words and actions. Dealing with this world is like walking on ice and it is our place to teach in love with humility and strength in God’s Word…Amen

Be An Victor Not A Victom

by Leave a Comment

 God’s Word teaches us in Ephesians 4,”To always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of our love. In making allowance for one another this means that we are to pick up the slack when something gets missed in love without allowing bitterness to build in our spirit.

 By learning to pick up the slack when others fall behind this teaches others to do the same. Don’t allow Satan to spiritually rob you and cause you to just sit around and complain. Too many times we allow Satan to spiritually keep us in the wilderness because we fail to recognize how to walk out of the forest. If there is something or someone that is causing you to travel in circles learn to do what it takes to be set free.

 We all have different strengths as well as weaknesses and it is our place in the love of God to learn how to work together in the spirit of the Lord without allowing Satan to spiritually hold us back…Amen

  For where I am weak you are strong and when we can go no more is when God steps in…

Trials Build Us Stronger

by Leave a Comment

 God is faithful and His strength is sufficient for any trial. God allows trials to come our way to keep us from pride and to teach us dependence on the Lord.  We often wonder why we encounter trials and tribulations but it is wise to recognize them as a test from God to help build us stronger in the future.

 Don’t give Satan victory in your test and allow him to rob you of the joy that you can have in Jesus Christ! For when we seek God for our lessons, He will help us develop that inner strength for the road ahead….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…
