Seek God For Your Direction

June 10, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

The world wants us to seek the world first before we seek our Father in Heaven and when we put our trust in man is when our lives are destined to fall. It is in our nature to try to hold on to things that we see when we don’t know how to trust in God for the outcome but when we learn that all things are in God’s control is when we will receive peace in knowing who holds it all together.

I challenge you today to let go of your worries and your fears by learning to trust in God rather than trying to hold it all together on your own. If there is something in your life that you are struggling to hold on to turn it over to God and allow Him to help you go forward…amen

For life is a struggle when we try to do it on our own, but when we learn how to let it go is when God shows us the Way…

Don’t Be Spiritually Robbed By Satan

June 9, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

When under the conviction of the Holy Spirit and we don’t properly understand the Word of God it is very easy to fall into a state of suppression where Satan will work hard to rob us of who we really are as a child of God. This lack of understanding is what leads so many people to things of this world from alcohol, drugs, affairs, over eating, material things and to anything that will give them some temporary relief of removing their minds from the real issue at hand.

Until we learn how to deal with our roots in love that are stemmed from a seed that has been planted within us our healing will never come. It is when we reach our understanding in the Word of God through the love of Jesus Christ that we begin to recognize who we really are in order to grow like never before.

Have you ever felt held back in life or robbed of the love that you can share? Have you ever allowed someone else to beat you down because you feared what you might have to face? Have you ever felt that you had to buy someones love in order to keep it rather than learning to receive what God freely gives? Spiritually Satan works in many ways to hold us back, and until we learn how to discern between good and evil our spiritual lives will be in a prison.

I challenge you today to apply God’s Word to your life and learn how to be set free through the blood of Jesus Christ by trusting in Him rather than in yourself…amen

It is when we look to God that we will find God, and it is when obey God that He will show us our purpose in life through the love of Jesus Christ…

Recognize Where God Speaks

June 8, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

It is important to remember that God often speaks to each of us in our own spirit first and then if we do not follow then He begins to speak through others for us to hear what needs to be heard. The sad part about this is when we continue to not obey what God places in our spirit because then it is only a matter of time before God will get our attention either directly or indirectly guaranteed.

Have you ever had someone to warn you of something in your path and you chose to not listen? Or, have you ever had someone to point out something that could help you improve what you might already be doing but you chose to not listen because it was not your idea? When we don’t seek God for our direction and know how to stay humble to the point that we will listen then it is easy to miss what God has right before us. It is important to remember that all things that are good come from God and all things bad come from Satan.

When we begin to listen for God instead of focusing on man it is amazing at what can take place in the spirit of the Lord that will carry us forward instead of leaving us stuck behind. I challenge you today to learn who you are under God and learn to act in the love of Jesus Christ to work together on earth as it is in Heaven…amen

We are nothing without God but a speck of dust in His creation. It is when we think that we are better than dirt that God shows us what we are really made of…

Recognizing The Spirit Of God

June 7, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

There is a difference between discipline and punishment when we really open our eyes to the Word of God. The Lord disciplines us everyday through the Holy Spirit that convicts us of our wrong thoughts and our wrong actions to help us go forward rather than falling behind. It is when we overlook how this discipline is to help us that we often become suppressed to the point that we begin to feel the punishment for our neglect.

Often when we are being disciplined by God through the Holy Spirit and we are avoiding what needs to be done we become very touchy to the point that we snap at others and won’t listen to what needs to be heard. The reason for this is because we already know what needs to be done but our self gets in the way and causes us to fall further because we choose to not follow as the Lord directs.

The object of this spiritual suppression of Satan is to rob us of the freedom that we have in the love of Jesus Christ. For all that Satan wants is for us to give up and to only think about ourselves because he knows that once we do this it is only a matter of time that he will infect our minds to the point that we can not see.

If we choose to continue to overlook what we know in our hearts to be true and not do what needs to be done then it is only a matter of time that the correction is destined to come. God guides each of us daily through His Holy Spirit and the object in this life is to follow Him and to love one another as we want others to love us. I challenge you today to learn how to follow what God places in your spirit in a loving way and begin to be set free from the chains that are holding you back…amen

It is not our hearing God’s Word that pleases Him, but how we respond to it that shows the true love that we carry…

Return To God To Be Restored

June 5, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

How sad is this in America of how far we have drifted away from properly following and serving the Lord? Spiritually Satan has misled us into a nation of not enough time when we really do have the time, and he has caused us to react in fear because we have forgotten how to trust in the Lord. Our leaders say they care but they show a total different objective because they only do what can uplift them rather than doing their jobs and properly serving the people.

This same thing has even taken place in our homes and unfortunately even in the church. Have we forgotten what life is about? Have we truly forgotten God’s Word? The Lord never told us to leave someone in the ditch and to fill our own pantries with caviar while we throw a few crackers to others! The Lord never told us to only give to those that can give back in return! The Lord never told us to separate ourselves from the sinners and He especially never told us to hate good and love evil!

Many people have come to a point of only giving time and helping those that offer something back in return. If our check is large enough or we can make someone look good in front of the people then it is no problem to buy some time for someone to listen or receive some support. Have we come to such a point in our society that we have forgotten how to truly discern between good and evil? Have we come to such a point that we have forgotten how to recognize the confirmation that we receive in our spirit when we hear the Word of God because we are so focused on what we see?

Life is not about us! It is about serving others and learning to trust in God rather than in man. How far do we have to fall before we return to God? Is the Word of God so faint in the people that it is time for us to go home? How long are we going to try and rely on ourselves before we learn to rely on God? Until we learn to turn from our ways and seek God for our direction this nation is only going to continue to face the Lord’s judgement for our disobedience!

What we have to remember is that nothing is over until God says it is over and it is our job as a true Christian to make the most out of every day that we are given to help someone else rather than ourselves! Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ displayed this example all the Way to the cross and the Word of God tells us us to never give up no matter how far we fall! All it takes is a little light in the darkness to see the Way and God will give us the strength as we learn to pray…amen

It is when we hold back that we won’t receive what God has in store…
