Unconditional Love

by Leave a Comment

 In the Word of God it teaches us to unite and serve one another in unconditional love without partiality. Why is it that we can’t even do this in our churches muchless in our own homes? Have we forgotten the command of loving thy neighbor as thyself and learning how to unite in our heart and mind? Have we as Christians allowed Satan to spiritually enter into our own minds that we can’t even trust our own brothers or sisters in Christ?

 It is pathetic in how much distrust is in the world and how it has entered the church. This is what happens when we drift away from the true teachings in the Word of God and we forget who is really in control. The lack of true love that is being portrayed in the body is restricting the spirit and causing disunity within the family due to the lack of trust that is being portrayed.

 When we learn to love unconditionally there is a bond that can’t be broken and this love is what encourages others to build higher than before. If we can’t stand on the Rock in unconditional love then maybe we still need to be introduced to the Rock that we have not met.   For if we are claiming to stand on the rock but we are showing partiality to some then where is this injustice coming from?

 Unconditional love is what God has given to us in His mercy and grace and the question is are we displaying this same love because we are seeking His face? Don’t come up short when your time is called for it would be sad to hear those words to depart from me for I never knew you…

God Is The Artist Of The Future

by Leave a Comment

 There are storms that we can see and there are storms that we don’t see. The storms that we are often blinded to are the ones that affect our spiritual lives in our day to day activities. Think about it; Have you ever noticed how evil attracts evil but good attracts good? Or, have you ever noticed how greed attracts greed and love attracts love?

 It is when good and evil collide within us that storms can come our way. The object is to recognize the different spirits that we are dealing with to insure the path that we are on and the path that we are to take. So many times we live in a spiritual unsettlement within ourselves because we don’t know how to trust in God verses placing our trust in man. When we learn how to look for the qualities of God that comes in the fruit of the spirit this helps us to settle the distrust that we tend to carry.

  I challenge you today that if you are holding on to something in distrust to let it go and learn to place your trust in God instead of keeping it within man. It would be a shame to hold someone back because of our own lack of trust that we claim to have. Do you trust God? Jesus did. Did Jesus hang Judas or did Judas hang himself? If you are holding on to the rope learn to let it go and allow God’s love to flow…amen  

Let go of the brush and allow God to paint the picture….

Need Oil For Your Lamp?

by Leave a Comment

 There is alot of wisdom in nature when we learn to pay attention to the behavior patterns of different animals. Have you ever noticed how different animals act before a change in the weather comes upon them? For instance deer tend to eat before a storm and bears tend to prepare for winter hibernation as migratory birds tend to change their location. 

 Humans are the only ones that tend to neglect the signs of the season that is to come. We tend to think that we can avoid the inevitable because we are so naive to the Truth. Jesus warns us of this in the end times and He teaches us to always be alert. Are you alert to the signs that are before us or is your lamp out of oil? It is very hard to see in the darkness of this fallen world without the lamp of God showing us the Way.

 If your life seems dark or it seems to be traveling in circles learn to let go of yourself and seek God for the direction that you need. So many times we come up short because we lean on others to fill our lamps with oil because we neglect how to keep them full ourselves….amen

Are You In Tune With God?

by Leave a Comment

 Why is it that we tend to act so surprised when something changes in our life? This does not mean that some changes don’t come swiftly but if we are honest when we look at different things that take place there are usually signs that precede the action. The Lord tells us in Job 38:36 that God gives us our intuition to the heart and that He gives us our instinct to the mind but we tend to override the guidance of God due to our own negligence and sinful nature.

 The problem is that when we drift away from God and forget how to listen that we often neglect the senses that He has given us to stay in tune within the environment in which we are in.  Staying in tune with God helps us to be alert and aware of our surroundings and it also helps us to maintain what He has given. Are you aware of your surroundings or are you so caught up in everything else that you can’t even feel the water at your feet? Don’t allow Satan to spiritually cause you to miss what God has right before you and learn to grow where you have been planted to increase the yield in your harvest…amen

 For life is a beautiful thing, when we learn how to receive God’s rain…

Are You Ready For Change?

by Leave a Comment

 Have your ever noticed when change comes our way there are always disruptions that tend to brew in our spirits? Think about it; What happens in the weather patterns when the barometric pressure changes? Have you ever noticed the larger the change the bigger the storm? The same thing happens in our lives from our homes and in our careers when change comes our way.

  The object is during the inevitable times of change to be rooted in where we stand with God and learn to trust in Him to get us through. Storms that come from change are good for us because they tend to test our faith and deepen our roots in the Lord. The unfortunate side of changes that occur is how others that don’t know how to handle the storms tend to lose their direction when they are not anchored in the Word of God and they allow themselves to get blown away.

 Whenever you feel as if you can’t hold on or when you see storms coming your way learn to keep your eye on the cross and allow Jesus to show you the Way. We all tend to want to run in a storm but some storms we simply have to learn how to stand…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…
