Spiritual Metamorphis…

by Leave a Comment

 Can you imagine how a butterfly must feel when ready to come out of the cocoon? Can you imagine if there was more than one butterfly within the cocoon in how uncomfortable it would be as God was preparing each one to be set free? Do you think the butterfly would want to stay with his home and possibly fight against the spiritual push?
  

 The object in life is to never grow comfortable where we are and to recognize when God is preparing us to move. For when we fight against the spiritual shift of God is when things will become uncomfortable for ourselves and eventually others as well. Another point to recognize is what happens when we overlook the guidance of God and hang out too long. Because the longer we overlook the signs the harder the move will become.                                                                                                           

 Unfortunately, way too often it takes a storm to carry us forward because we become too comfortable on the branch in which we stand. If you are experiencing the nudge of change be open to follow as God directs and be ready to move when He says to move…Amen

Allow God To Lift You Up

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever compared yourself to a butterfly in the wind or are you a more like that hard shelled bug that flies in the air? There is alot of wisdom in this comparison because the next time you are driving your car watch what happens to the butterfly who often does not take the direct hit of the car. They often miss the moving object because God’s hand picks them up in the wind and sets them down before the fall.

 On the other hand though the bugs that take the direct hit are often the ones that are flying so hard that they never see what is coming. Is this your life? Are you flying so hard that you feel as if you are being hit by a car everyday that you go out? Are you struggling to keep yourself in the air while blows just seem to be coming out of no where? Maybe this is because you have forgotten how to fly and you are trying to do it on your own.

 The object in learning how to fly is also learning how to land. We all have obstacles and have to face turbulence from time to time but all that matters is that we allow God to raise us up and set us down. Examine your heart for the gentleness and compassion of God as well as the strength to stand strong in the winds ahead. Because when we learn to fly with God He will give us the navigation to bring us home…

A Butterfly In The Wind

by Leave a Comment

 Our children are like butterflies that start out so gentle with skin that is soft to the touch. Their spirits at birth are fragile and easy to crush until they learn how to fly on their own in the spirit of God. Teaching our children how to stand and how to fly is essential for the days that they have ahead because if we fail to teach them the Word of God then they are subject to land in a place without intention.

 This world is full of winds that can blow us all around and some that can even take us down. The Word of God is a foundation that can’t be moved and it is imperative that we teach our children His Word and lead by example. If your children were to describe your life as a butterfly in the wind how would they say you react from within? 

 We never know which way the wind may blow or how the storms may come but if we teach our children how to be anchored to the rock of Jesus then they are better prepared for the day they have to fly on their own. Please click on this brief vidieo clip of a song and relax a moment to enjoy the peace of God instead of trying to chase the wind…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmC3rJR7E98&feature=fvsr

For Those With Ears To Hear…

by Leave a Comment

 Did you know that when a butterfly is born there is a process of inner development before the break through? Another key part of this growth of a butterfly is the principles that we learn once it is set free from the cocoon on the tree. The butterfly does not just start flying immediately once it has wings because it is necessary to grow strength and learn how to move in this new world.

 The growth of a butterfly is like the growth of a Christian. We start as a seed and then crawl on the ground before we learn how to fly on our own. Can you see the importance of reading the flight manual in the Owrd of God before we take off? The unfortunate side of this is how so many never figure out how to fly because they become stuck on the ground. Learning to walk is often not the issue but learning how to grow our wings in the spirit of God is the most awesome experience that we can ever encounter.

 If you have not discovered your wings or you feel as if they have been clipped seek God and look within yourself to discover something that you already have. How can we ever learn to fly if we are not willing to jump and how do we honestly expect to grow stronger if we don’t exercise our wings? Can you see the importance of your wings being balanced before your flight? Sometimes we have have to step out from the old to learn something in the new…

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…
