The Art of Spiritual War

August 12, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 If the Lord was to reveal to us our future steps then He would be revealing His plans to the enemy. It is our job to walk in faith and trust in God for every step that He gives. Many people in the carnal mind can’t understand this because we are not the enemy but we are still in the flesh. We must recall that Satan knows our weaknesses and when we open the door to worry and doubts then we are only giving Satan the tools to destroy what we know to be true. Why do we need to know how we are going to make it in this world when we have already made it to the next? Just walk on while standing on the Truth and applying it to your steps in life with Jesus Christ…   

 We never know how things are going to work out or what we may go through in life but one fact is this, ” Until we learn to trust God and not man, history will only repeat itself.”

Obesity In The American Church

August 2, 2009 by admin 3 Comments

 Over the past several years the Christian body has been growing in large numbers in other countries while many of the American churches struggle to stay alive.  The reason for this growth in foreign nations is the hunger for the truth which has been kept from them by their government or others who simply wanted to use the people to serve their own selfish desires. This suppression is exactly why The United States of America was formed in 1776 because we as Christians no longer wanted to be told how to worship and we believed in all being equal under God through the freedom of Jesus Christ. This suppression that our ancestors once lived under created such a hunger and drive that they were willing to risk their lives for our freedom today. 

  But now over the years many Christians and Americans have become fat and even complacent to the point that they don’t even appreciate what they have been given. This country is a beautiful country that was a gift from God and now over time by not holding true to our diet in the will of God we have become overweight and even lazy in feeling that we can’t do something when we can!!! Since when are we to give up? There is always hope as long as we have breath and the Lord is saying,”Return to me and I will bring you home…“

 America has eaten so much steak that we have forgotten how to appreciate the bologna and in turn there are many that don’t even appreciate the steak anymore because they have eaten so much that they are feeding off of self in such a way that it is misguiding the children…

Spiritual Deception of Satan

August 1, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

  If people can’t see what is taking place in America and around the world then they need to Wake Up before it is too late!!! Over the past 40 years many of our churches have drifted away from the truth in the Word of God and forgotten how to stand strong in faith while learning to grow in their personal relationship with the Lord our Savior. The church is a place for fellowship and instruction to help us mature in the will of God and to help others along the way. But so many have forgotten the meaning of how to love the Lord with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind. And to love your neighbor as yourself.

 So many churches have fallen to social clubs while others have fallen as the Jews did to the Gentiles in trying to keep what they think they know to themselves without sharing it with the sinners that are in need. It breaks my heart to see people in the church that claim to be a Christian but show something totally different in their daily walk from their homes, from their work, and even how they act in the church. This is what has hurt the overall church body over the last 40 years in such a way that it has pushed others away from the church while causing our children to become lost in this world. This has also caused our issues here in America because we have forgotten how to stand on the truth without falling tolerant to what is not right by God.  

 There isn’t a soul on this earth that doesn’t feel pressured at times in causing them to walk right on by the work that really needs to be done or helping someone that may be in need. There are times for quick decisions in life threatening situations but never when we we have the time to truly evaluate the situation. Our world has fallen into the deception of Satan in such a way of thinking that we don’t have the time to share or do what really needs to be done. Satan knows our weaknesses and he knows if we feel pressured that we will make shallow decisions that will eventually come back to haunt us or even destroy us in due time. When we feel pressured for time this robbs us of the true joys in life while neglecting the purpose of time that builds things that will last from our relationships, our companies, our churches, and even our nation. Time is a beautiful thing when we stop and listen but far too often we fall to our pressures in life or to temptations of the flesh instead of building something on the foundation of God that will stand forever on the rock that will not fail.

 It is time that we all stop to refocus our lives back on our foundation and really recognize the spirit that is guiding the steps of our future. Our churches need to recall that the church is a place for the sinner and a place to get filled for the work that we have ahead of us. The lives we are given are our mission fields and it is our duty under God to walk with Him and hold True to His Word while sharing the blessings of God in our lives with everyone that we come in contact with. This life is not supposed to be about us but to give us a glimpse of what we can have in Heaven when we have true love in the family of God while learning how to build something that will last with the time which we are given. 

 It is my prayer that we all Wake Up to the truth before it is too late. Because there is a Heaven and a Hell and if we don’t know where we are going then we need to recognize the path we are on!

 Oh Lord, have mercy on us for we have fallen so far in selfish desires of the flesh. We know you have all power and can do all things and Lord I ask for the sake of our children and yours to forgive us once again in your mercy and grace in order to help those that are lost and to reveal your glory…amen

Gov. Mark Sanford Adds To Americas Moral Decline

June 28, 2009 by admin 2 Comments

 Here is another example of the moral decay in America that continues along the same lines of Bill Clinton in the affair that changed our society. Ever since that night with Bill Clinton stating that oral sex is not sex this changed our children’s perspective in the wrong direction that continues to decline in trying to justify something wrong in order to make yourself look right. What examples are we honestly being to our children when we abuse our positions and continue to justify what we did wrong instead of just stating the truth in where we failed to adhere to the Word of God in losing our self control?

 We all face temptations in life and without standing on the Word of God then it is only a matter of time before we give in. I agree that this matter is a personal matter with the Sanford family but I must add that this is also a matter of proper leadership due to the example that it is being to our children. Whether he loses his job as governor or not over the affair is one thing but in common sense when a man has a job with certain responsibilities and simply does not do his job then what should he honestly expect? Our motto in our company is this,” Do your job or be fired,” and this should be the motto in America . We all make mistakes but there is no excuse for wrong doing that affects the people and when we continue to allow wrong actions then what message are we sending to our children of tomorrow?

 If we continue to be tolerant in our society and allow individuals to do as they please with no repercussions for their actions then what message does this show? Change does begin in our homes but it is high time that leaders begin to do their jobs in holding themselves accountable under God and doing what is right for the people. It is time that we seek leaders that care more for what is right for the people and by the people instead of those that care more about fulfilling their selfish desires in their leadership positions.

 Until we learn how to speak the truth and face our wrong decisions in sin then our lives will only  continue to fall even further away from what we know to be true. It is my prayer that Mark Sanford is able to teach his children how to not fall as he and South Carolina does what is right in sending the proper message to our country that will make others think before they act….

Where Are The Men of God?

June 24, 2009 by admin 3 Comments

 Where are the men of God that once stood with the armour that did not fall weak and remained strong? I can remember a time when men of God stood boldly and declared the Word of God as the Truth and the light to anyone that is misguiding our children and now where are they? Are they asleep? Are they too concerned of persecution? Or, are they to worried about what they may lose?

 Being a man of God does not mean to lay down and be tolerant of sin but to stand strong in the armour of God without waver from the Truth! In order for us to regain what we have lost we must unify in the body of Christ to serve and obey in what is right for our childen of tomorrow! For Jesus plainly tells us,” Those that lead my children astray might as well put a millstone around their neck!” 

 Our country as a whole has fallen to sin because men have forgotten how to work together in the body in understanding their position under God. Many of our leaders and fathers have become lazy, tolerant, blind, deaf, and too secure in their material life to risk losing what they think they own instead of speaking what is right by God and wrong in sin. If men do not begin to come together as one and stand up in faith with Jesus in their hearts in what is right by God, then what do you honestly see in the future for our children of tomorrow?

 We must come together within the Christian body to gain strength and a unified voice that will tremble this earth within the POWER of God in the Holy Spirit!!! If we do not do this then we will only continue to suffer while others will fade away in all the darkness that is surrounding us in this fallen world.

 So what if we lose our lives or everything we have! For with God we have everything and without Him what do we really have? There is great Honor in the Kingdom of God to those that understand the true meaning of putting ourselves second to others instead of first. This is not about disorder but about giving direction to rebuild this nation on the foundation of God while acting in the love of Jesus Christ. There comes a point in every Christian that we must say, ” Enough is enough and what  you are doing is not right by God and hurting the people!”

 John Adams once said,” We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our constitution was made only for moral and religious people. It is inadequate to the government of any other.”

 George Washington once said, ” It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”

 Men of God need to stand up for our children’s future and put aside our personal desires for the sake of others. It is my prayer that we come together as One Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice For All!!! Amen

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…
