Live in Peace…

by Leave a Comment

 So many times in life we get consumed in our present conditions and we allow Satan to restrict our vision to the point that we can not look past the present to see the future. Have you ever been in a situation where it consumed you like a bad relationship, a rebellious child, a broken home, issues at work or by something just not going the way you wanted it to go?

 There is a reason for everything in life and we must remember that we are not the one’s in control. Our life is here for a purpose to overcome and learn how to share our testimonies with others to help them along the way. For if we are not trusting God and appeciating the time it takes to develop who we really are then can you see how Satan can be robbing us of not only our present life but also the future?

 I challenge you today and every other day to look for the good in every circumstance by learning to work in faith towards better days ahead. With Jesus in our hearts and learning to trust in God our lives can have a peace when we quit working  for the immediate and start focusing on our children’s future…amen

Seek The Truth Of God…

by Leave a Comment

 In the book of 2 Timothy 4 of the Holy Bible Paul warned us of a time coming that people would no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching.  He said,” They will follow  their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear.”  

 It is imperative in life to hear the truth! For if all we hear is what we want to hear, then what does this really do to help us overcome and improve? Life is not a walk in the park and until we learn how to walk with Jesus we will never discover how to make it to the other side.

 Don’t ever become stuck in your hurts or in your sins and allow Satan to hold you back in life. By learning to analyze our sins in the mirror of God will teach us how to not fall to them ever again. I challenge you today and every other day to seek the Truth in everything you do whether you want to hear it or not, and never allow Satan to hold you back from the freedom in God’s mercy and grace…amen

Love God Not Your Pleasures…

by Leave a Comment

 In the book 2 Timothy 3 Paul warns us not to desire our pleasures before God. To serve God this requires daily effort and even sacrifice of ourselves at times for the sake of a higher calling. This is where many people fall weak in faith because love for God reminds us of our needs and our responsibilities not only to serve God but to serve others.

 It is very easy to obtain a pleasure in life and so many times we use our pleasures to take our minds off of our problems or we use them to fit in with the world. But from a voice of experience when we give in to our pleasures and don’t address our issues this will only prolong the hurt that we carry. I challenge you today and every other day to love God more than your pleasures and He will give you the strength to overcome anything in your life through the love of Jesus Christ…amen

Use Your Gifts For God’s Glory…

by Leave a Comment

 When we learn to use the gifts God has given us for His glory instead our own, we will find that God will give us the power we need to accomplish whatever task that He gives us. By learning to trust in God and seeking Him for the wisdom and strength to go forward there is another peace that we will discover in knowing who is in control. 

  It is just our job to do the best we can wherever we are in life and always be content in where we are. For if we can’t learn to appreciate where we are then how do we honestly expect to appreciate where we might be going? I challenge you today and every other day to be content where you are and learn how to make the most out of what you have been given…amen

Fan The Flames…

by Leave a Comment

  Paul teaches us to fan the flames in the spirit of God and to always encourage one another no matter where we are in life. One thing to keep in mind when someone is on fire for the Lord or excelling in their God given talent is how to fan the flame instead of trying to quench the spirit. Have you ever been excited about something and someone just let the air out of your balloon? Have you ever worked hard for something to make a difference and no one acknowledged the work that was done? Always recall that it is not what we do for ourselves but what we do for others that shows whom we follow.

 We all are human and need a word of encouragement from time to time. But more importantly we need to recognize in our spiritual maturity how to fan the flame instead of trying to dampen the fire. It is not our place to let the air out of someones balloon for God decides how high it will fly and when it is time to come back down. 

 I challenge you today and every other day be encouraging in your words and actions with others. And learn to fan the flame in the spirit of God while always keeping Jesus in  front to insure a safe landing…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…
