The Creator or The Shade Tree Mechanic

November 10, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

  Have you ever studied the mechanics of a car and the principles that are required to keep them in tune? In every car that we purchase if we open the glove box there is an owners manual that simply outlines everything that we need to know in case something goes wrong with the car. This manual teaches us how to read the warning signs that pop up on the instrument panel to insure the longevity of the car.

 It was not many years ago that we did not have all these warning lights that popped up and we had to learn how to listen to the motor to insure that everything was in order. Have you ever noticed someone that kept driving their car without taking the time to address what needed to be fixed? Have you ever experienced neglecting a specific area of your car and then before you knew you were sitting on the side of the road?

 When we compare ourselves to a car it is wise to be in tune with the motor. Just as manufactures are doing today God made us so that we have to go back to the Creator if we really want to solve the issues that we have at hand. There are many shade tree mechanics that try to show us a quicker route but when we learn to stop and listen God will show us the Way.

 Have you opened the owners manual to life in the Word of God to know the warning signs and to insure that your car can go the extra mile? Or is your car falling apart because you are not taking the time to really address what needs to be done. It is very easy to run ourselves ragged and chase everything in the world but there comes a point time that we should stop and listen to what God is placing in our heart to make sure that our car will always be ready to start.

Keep Your Motor Runnin’….

November 8, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 God wants us to learn how to be in tune with our bodies in order to recognize what may be causing us to miss a beat. The fuel that we take in can either lift us up or take us down. Unfortunately, some fuel that is supplied by others is watered down. The object is to tap the pure well in the Word of God without relying on others to keep our tank full.

 Because if we rely on man instead of God to keep our motors running then what are we going to do when that full serve turns into a self serve filling station? Have you checked your fuel gauge lately? Are you out of gas wondering how much further you can go? Is your motor backfiring and struggling because of the trash that you may have taken in? Are you carrying too much dead weight in your trunk? Maybe it is time to clean that filter to start all over again.

 Don’t let Satan spiritually deceive you into thinking that you can run on your own because there are times brothers and sisters that we all need a push or just that helping hand…

Don’t Be Left Behind…

November 5, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Sometimes in life when we seem to continue the same circles it is necessary to stop and evaluate why we are not moving forward to keep us from being left behind. In our human nature we can become blind when we get stuck in our ways and allow ourselves to be content in where we are. This happens in our relationships, in our careers and unfortunately it can happen in the church.

 So many times we allow our fears of change to rob us of the blessings of God due to our lack of trusting Him so we try to control things ourselves. This very lesson is what God teaches us with the Israelites when they allowed their fears to keep them in the wilderness for forty years. During this time period of allowing their own fears to hold them back they faced many test which caused them to complain and eventually die off before the next generation went forward.

 Have you ever considered how God’s creation is constantly changing but at a pace that we often miss? Change is something that comes gradual for us to adapt and when we fail to listen change can come at once to Wake Up those of us up that have fallen asleep. Don’t miss what is being said here in this message because God always gives us signs of what is to come if we will only stop to listen…Amen

Are You Making Emotional Decisions?

November 4, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever been at such a point in your emotions that you felt that you could no longer control yourself? Have you ever lost control and then later regretted your actions? Our emotions can be extremely dangerous when we do not have the discernment to recognize good and evil in the self discipline of God. The next time you find yourself being consumed by a particular emotion take a step back to insure the proper impact on the future.

 Don’t be blind sided spiritually by Satan in your emotions and allow him to set you back instead of trusting in God to carry you forward. This lesson is taught to us in Genesis 4 with Cain and Abel and throughout the Holy Bible. Another great lesson of this is with King Herod and the beheading of John the Baptist. King Herod allowed his sexual desires to blind him into something that he later regretted. Do you think that President Clinton and John Edwards might could relate with King Herod? 

 Unfortunately, we all can relate at times to allowing our emotional decisions to guide our actions and this is why it is imperative that we teach our children the Word of God to maintain our future. If there is something in you that is consuming you and robbing you of your joy turn to God in the love of Christ before you act to insure that everything stays intact…Amen

Stay The Course Inspite The Winds

November 3, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Life can be an emotional roller coaster when we fail to place our trust in God and we take matters into our own hands. Learning to communicate in love can be a strenuous thing in our flesh but when we learn to keep our eyes on the cross rather than the obstacle that may be before us is when God will carry us to the other side.  

 Seeking what is right by God rather than what we think is right for ourselves helps us to maintain a steady coarse without all the ups and downs. Just because we may have done something one way for so long does not mean that we can’t try something new. Think about it; The wind blows in many different directions and sometimes gentle with other times very strong but does this mean that we are to lose site of the objective? Absolutely Not! This just means that we learn to entrench ourselves in the Word of God to develop our senses as we are taught in Hebrews 5:14. 

 Then it just becomes application as Jesus taught us in Matthew 10:16 in being wise as a serpent and then as gentle as a dove. If your life is full of ups and downs don’t allow Satan to rob you of your joy. Stay the coarse and learn to trust God while being anchored to the Rock of Jesus who teaches 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…
