A United Purpose…

by Leave a Comment

If you recall the message from yesterday titled “The Hand Of Time” there was an analogy made of the gears within a clock. This morning to broaden our view it is important to recognize that the overall motion of time never stops moving ahead. It might appear that we get stuck at times or travel in circles but it is during these times that we should be seeking to learn within the season that we are in.

Think about it like this: Each individual is a gear and every home represents a single wrist watch that is to be ran in love. Now each family of God that joins together in a church can be compared to the formation of a clock. As the individual watches learn to unite as one we can recognize the formation of the hand.  All around the world there are individual gears that help to make up the overall watch and could you imagine if we were all in sink? These watches that are all around the world which represent the body of Christ are only bigger gears which construct a larger clock in the hand of time. The object is for each gear not to fight for position but to serve as one under Jesus Christ to lead the Way.

Learning to expand and function within the body of Christ can bring growing pains at times due to our human flesh but it is during these times that we can often witness the hand of God at work as we place our trust in Him. Another object for us is to continue forward on the path that we are given without doubting the hand of God who shows us the Way. For what good is a watch or a clock that’s hand doesn’t properly function in time? Like any watch sometimes we have to be reset as well in order to recognize and appreciate the time. May you have a blessed day and please join us again tomorrow morning on what keeps the clock ticking…

“Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.” Philippians 2:2

Spiritual Warfare Tactics…

by Leave a Comment

If you were to study spiritual warfare you would find that the art of war is to walk behind the enemy lines and learn the weaknesses of the opponent in order to turn their weaknesses into strengths. As the enemy walks in the camp he or she opens the doors for others of its kind to enter. The object of the enemy is to infiltrate the camp to the point where its opponent gets weak and to those who don’t surrender then the enemy will take them out in order to gain control.

This is what has taken place here in America and if we don’t WAKE UP to this Truth then we better prepare for what is sure to come! God has given us dominion over this earth but without the knowledge of His Word and the discernment between good and evil then we are prey for the spiritual enemy of Satan. Tactfully Satan has slithered into the homes and robbed many fathers of how to be men of God. Then from this the spirit of Satan has slipped into many churches to gain control from the pulpits in order to weaken the people and to cause disunity within the body. This disunity has caused many other denominations to bring further division within the people by causing many to fight for the head position that has been already put into place through Jesus Christ. With all of this and much more this warfare tactic this has allowed Satan to seize control through ungodly leadership which is tearing down the American country.

God gave us this country as He gave the Jews Israel and if we don’t WAKE UP to face the Truth then our days of freedom are numbered before the spiritual enemy of Satan seizes control! If you want change then it first starts with you and then it spreads to your home then to your community and then to the nation. If you were to seriously look within your home who would you find in control? Would it be God or would it be Satan? If you think that you are in control without admitting that God is first then you are only deceiving yourself and giving victory to the enemy….I pray that America WAKES UP to this Truth and begins to recognize where we got off course in order to turn back to God for our children’s future….

Make A Positive Step Forward…

by Leave a Comment

As we all can see here in America there is a great need for a movement of God to reignite the coals within our souls in order to prepare and strengthen us for the days ahead. We can all hear others sitting around and talking about what this country needs but what this country needs are men and women that are willing to stand up with the willingness to simply do their part.

Real change first starts within each of us and then it spreads throughout our homes to communities and then to our nation but if we are not willing to make initiative ourselves then all we are doing is giving the enemy victory by robbing us of the life that we can have through the love of Jesus Christ. There is something you can do today to make a positive difference and I challenge you not to give Satan victory in falsely thinking you just dont have the time when you really do. In fact if you dont feel that uyou have the time then I challenge you to examine all the things you do to recognize in whom you are serving. For if your actions are not for the better of mankind then you are not properly serving God…

Old & New Working Together…

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever studied the human anatomy and how the human cells are growing new ones every day? Have you ever thought about the purpose of this maturity within our physical bodies and how it is related within the body of Christ? Learning to work within the body requires unity, understanding and harmony as the body matures in season.

  Working together requires maturing in love as we learn to stand in obedience for the next cell to take our place before moving to the next location within the body. This is to take place without frictions within the body in order to prevent restrictions and to allow the body or entity to function properly within life. The problem  that many cells encounter within this process is learning to trust God so they try to hold on to their positions for too long and this can restrict the overall movement in the direction of God. Sometimes cells have to die off before the next ones can enter in for the new life to begin.

 This same principle applies within our homes, our careers as well as in the overall body of the church. For when we learn to move in the hand of God is when greater things can take place as well as maintaining the body that we have been given. Here is question for you this morning,”Are you ready to be moved?” If not then what is wrong with this picture? For there is no cell within the physical body that ever stays intact nor healthy unless it is ready to moved into the next position. The object is to disciple one to one day replace the next…For if a cell is undeveloped when thrown into position how could this affect the overall body? Are you ready? Are you training

God’s Love Covers All…

by Leave a Comment

Where is life without the spirit? For the breath of God is what gives us our life and the spirit that dwells within us is what shows who we are. For where we find life is where we will find God and where we we find stagnant growth or death is where we find the devil. The blood that is in our veins should be like sweet sap that comes from a tree and the leaves should show who we are.

 Our roots should grow wide and deep and the sap that fills our veins should overflow in love. For sap moves slowly and covers everything in its path as God’s love never leaves anyone behind. For there is great joy in the spirit of God and vibrant life as we learn to mature in Christ…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…
