In A Room of True Love…

October 29, 2009 by admin 1 Comment

In the book of Proverbs 15:17 Soloman wrote,”Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fatted calf with hatred.”

With this being said can you recall the wholesome times of the meals with paper plates over those with fine china?

Life is about being real and who you are without trying to impress another.

For when we seek to please God instead of attempting to impress man then we are truly showing that we understand God’s plan.

I challenge you today and every other day to be real. Because there is a difference between fine china and a paper plate. Fine china is worthless once broken and a paper plate can be reused once it has been wiped clean even though it may be stained from the fall…amen

The American Dream Still Stands…

October 24, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 Why is it when our young children come to us with life ambitions that we encourage them by telling them they can be anything they want but then as they mature we tend to stop encouraging them which causes weak self esteem within themselves?

 Think about it! As you have matured in life how many people have ever discouraged you by looking at what you wear, maybe for what you look like, your background, your age or simply by just telling you this can not be done? Is this not complete opposite of what we teach our children when our daughter comes to us wanting to be that princess or when our son comes to us wanting to be that astronaut?

 It is vital to recall that every child is a child of God and we never know the age of that lost soul when their eyes may be opened to the Truth in salvation. It is our position to seek Him daily while encouraging each other no matter the age in the glory of God through Jesus Christ!

 Do you recall the lesson of Abraham & Sara in the birth of their son Isaac? The lesson was that our heartfelt dreams can be fulfilled at any age of our life if our faith is right by God and we are working within His will!

 It is pathetic how how our society by majority has lost their sight in encouraging and helping one another reach their goals in life! Instead we sit around looking and dissecting the task while discouraging someone who can make a difference because we can’t see how God is working in their life. GOD HELP US For How Blind We Are!!!

 Our society and even many of our churches are holding our children back because we have lost sight of how to grow in the Spirit of God! We are to help those below us and encourage them to travel further than ourselves while never forgetting the roots of our foundation in the Word of God through the love of Jesus Christ. It is also our position to respect and uplift those above us in order for them to maintain their position until the next one comes along and many have lost sight of this principle in life.

 What do you think Martin Luther King would say right now to those who told him to keep his mouth shut and that he would never make a difference? Looks like his heartfelt dreams have now been fulfilled because of the belief in the dreams that he once carried and passed on. Do not ever lose sight of how God can work in our life when we learn to follow Him in true faith and seek His direction in the talents that He has given to each of us to make a difference in our children’s future. Not all things happen in our timing but when we plant the right seeds in fertile soil you never know when the tree may sprout. Every generation is to help nurture and fertilize our children of tomorrow!

  I challenge you today and every other day to encourage someone and help them in life by learning to work together and not apart! Don’t disrespect God as Sara and laugh at things that you may think are not possible. Because ALL things are possible with God and greater is He that is within us than he that is in this world!!! Amen

You Never Know Where or When…

October 23, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 God often works in unexpected ways. When He chooses people to fulfill His plans, He always goes deeper than appearance, tradition, or position. He sometimes even surprises us by choosing the less obvious person, at least by human reasoning.

 Always know that God can use us to carry out His plans, even if we don’t think we have all the qualifications. All we have to do is follow and obey while listening to the Word of God that is placed on our heart to do our part.

 Circumstances are never so bad that they are beyond God’s help and we never know what good He may bring out of seemingly hopeless situatons! For God has forgiven us and we should forgive others to move from the past towards the eternal future.

In God We Trust…amen

Never Hold Back…

October 15, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

In the very beginning of the Holy Bible we were taught in the life of Cain and Abel in how to give the best of not only what we have but of ourselves to the Lord.

This same lesson was also taught in Abraham in the willingness to give the life of his son. Later as you know our Father in Heaven gave us His Son which has been the best gift in life.

Even after the resurection of Jesus Christ we were taught this lesson in the book of Acts 5 between a man and his wife in not only holding back their proceeds but they held back the truth which could have set them free.

It is very easy in life to only give what we want while keeping the best for ourselves, but based on the Word of God we are to give our best in everything we do in allowing the Lord to work through each of us in giving Him all the praise.

How can we move forward if we hold back? As true Christians on the team of Jesus we must perform to the best of our God given talents and give the best to the Lord in never holding anything back for ourselves. The Lord is our provider and when we give our best then the Lord will take care of the rest…amen

Why The Church Has Declined…

October 3, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 Our denominations are in decline for several reasons and one of the main reasons is because of the rules that has been placed by man that is limiting the doctrine in the Word of God. Another main reason for the decline is because many of the elders have forgotten how to uplift the next generation by recognizing the talents that God has given to each of them for wanting to hold on to their own position in front of the people.  

 Many have fallen as the Pharisees in following their own doctrine while forgetting  that every humbled sinner is welcome in the Kingdom of God through the love of Jesus Christ. We don’t have to have doctrine degrees or attend certain schools to speak the Word of God or to perform the natural gifts that the Lord provides. The Lord is our teacher and He is the one that chooses our leaders and He is the one gives us our gifts to properly serve the people. So many times in life we hang on to something because we don’t know how to let it go and uplift the next generation in helping them to develop their talets as they mature in life.

 Over time we have come to a point in thinking that we have to be a member of some group or attend a certain school to share the Word of God and I am here to tell you no one or no school can compare to being taught by the Father in Heaven above! We all receive natural gifts and these talents are given by God. Have you ever seen the difference between the artist that was born with a talent verses the one that went to school to learn their talent? There is a distinct difference in someone working within their gift and one that is not.

  So many people choose a field to work within because they are guided by someone else besides the Lord. Sometimes we carry on something because it is our family tradition while there are even those that just choose a field to work within because they don’t know where else to turn. There is a previous post written on the old church to the new contemporary worship service that explains where we are today within the church and if we do not Wake Up and start looking for those children that have received natural gifts from God then our picture in life is going to continue to fade away. We must learn to work together and not work against one another… 

 There is life within the picture of Jesus Christ that will radiate to others when we drop our walls and learn to look to God instead of man….

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…
