Are You Listening???

January 26, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

If you were to truly stop and listen without any type of distractions what would you hear? If you were to stop and listen to others around you what would they be expressing from their heart? So many times in life we cover up our pains because we don’t want others to see us cry and we don’t want them to know how we are hurting on the inside.

When we hide our pains without expressing who we really are or what we may be going through then we are only allowing Satan to rob us of the healing that we can receive. It is in our human nature to put up a front but until we learn how to humble ourselves to who we really are then how can we ever honestly expect to be set free?

Deep down inside we all seek the same thing of just wanting to be loved for who we are on the inside and not for what we temporarily have on the outside. To experience true love we have to be honest with who we are through Jesus Christ and learn to trust God to bring things together. I challenge you today to let go of what may be holding you back and to spend sincere time with someone to show you care. We all have something to share if we will just stop and listen…

Don’t Lose Touch In Life…

January 25, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

When is the last time that you honestly stopped to listen without any type of distractions? Did you know that it takes time to unwind when we have been wound up so tight that we can’t hardly listen? It is very easy to become deaf and even blind in todays society due to the way our world is pushing us to keep up. But if we don’t take the time to stop and truly listen then if we are not careful something could be missed.

Keeping our lives in Balance is vital in order to maintain what God has given. Satan tries to wind us up to the point that we don’t listen because he knows that if we don’t stop to pay attention then it is only a matter of time before we will lose sight of the path that we are on. Have you ever noticed how everything in God’s creation has a steady pattern that is constantly working together and moving forward? It is very easy to lose sight when we focus on what we see and don’t take the time to listen to what needs to be heard. I challenge you today to stop and truly listen to what God has placed on your heart and learn to stay in touch in everything you do to allow the love of Jesus to shine through…amen

Don’t Ask Then Wonder…

January 22, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

So many times in life when we ask God for something we often fail to recognize what He puts before us. Throughout the Word of God the Lord teaches us to be alert to all things but far too often we miss things of God because He often shows up in places that we least expect.

It is in our nature to ask for immediate results and then overlook how God gives us just enough to get us through. If we were to receive everything that we asked for how would we know how to trust and appreciate what God has given? When we ask God to help us be alert for the parting of the seas but learn to appreciate the manna that supplies our needs.

It is how we learn to walk in life and serve with what we have been given that God will bless us with something more. I challenge you today and every other day to recognize what God has put right before you rather than wondering about something and possibly missing the blessing which you could receive…amen

Money Without Division…

January 21, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

In the book of Genesis 23 Abraham was negotiating to buy a cave to bury his wife Sarah. The man which Abraham was negotiating with knew that he was a man of God and offered Abraham the cave at no charge. Both of these men handled this matter with wisdom and respect. Abraham did not try to buy this cave for less nor did the man elevate his price even though he knew that Abraham could afford to pay whatever price he set.

Not only do we learn proper ethics in this message we also learn how a true friend offers to help Abraham in his time of need without allowing money to come in between their friendship. In verse 14 Ephron answered Abraham in saying, “What is money among friends?”

It is sad to see today how so many have allowed money to cause divisions within our homes, our churches and even our relationships. There is no figure that we can place on our true friendships nor is there any dollar amount that is worth causing a division within the love of the family. It is imperative to recall how God is our provider and it is our responsibility to serve God in everything that we have been entrusted with.

I challenge you today to never allow money to come in between the love that God has given and learn to trust in the Lord for the right things to be done in His timing and not in ours…amen

Don’t Hold Back…

In the book of Genesis 22 God instructed Abraham to do what we all could not even imagine. He tested his faith once again by telling him to take his son to a place and offer him to the Lord. Abraham did not sit around and contemplate the request nor did he sit around and debate the instruction. He rose early in the morning after receiving God’s Word and followed with no hesitation.

The Lord is showing us in this passage how vital it is to follow His will and not our own. For if we follow our desires instead of His instruction then it will not only cause us to struggle in life but it could even affect our homes. God has given us His Word to follow and we are to do this with no hesitation! There is no negotiating what He has given and if we try to hold back then honestly how can we ever expect to go forward?

I challenge you today to not hold back what He has placed on your heart! There is nothing worse than contemplating what God has given and allowing Satan to rob us of what we know in our hearts to be true! When we do this then we are not only allowing Satan to hold us back from the promises of the Lord but we are also not trusting in God to get us through…amen
