Paralyzed Christians In America

October 4, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 When you look at your life what do you see?  Do you see growth physically, mentally and most of all spiritually?  If not, why not? What is holding you back in the instruction and direction of God that has been given to each of us in the Holy Bible?

 God did not give us this place to sit still! We are to seek Him first and work in the direction of God through the love of Jesus in everything we do to eventually break through! This place is only a training ground to see which one of the two roads we will travel. With this being said it is wise to know the path we are on and very wise to keep ourselves nourished along the way.

  Do you know for sure the road you travel? If so, what are you doing to help others along the way? Are you encouraging? Are you helping? Are you even moving? Or, are you just sitting back judging others that pass you by?

 It is our place to move forward in life in the direction of God while working together as One in respecting and understanding each party’s position that has been given by God in the love of Jesus Christ.  A body can’t move if each part doesn’t work together and continues to pull in its own direction. Think about it! If my right leg wants to go one direction but my left leg wants to go another can you see how the body gets nowhere and can become broken or even paralyzed?

 This is where the overall church body is today in being paralyzed and almost broken. Because by majority everyone is fighting for the head position that has already been given by God in Jesus Christ being the head of the body. The Lord has already given us the direction and we are to keep Him up front while doing everything we can in the talents in which He has given to each of us to help others along the way.  

 God has given me this wisdom to help you see the Way. Can you see it? I can… I don’t know about you but I want to go home. We can’t go home until we learn to come together as One and understand who is the head of the body being Jesus Christ. Whether this happens today, tomorrow, or years ahead I am going to work hard to nourish and improve everything God puts in my path to help you in yours. I only do this in the glory of God and because I want this place to be a better place for our children in the present and in the future.

 I challenge you today to open your eyes and ears to move forward in life with Jesus Christ. Don’t be held back by Satan because he wants you to stay on his road that is so widely traveled…Amen

Selfish Bribes In America

October 2, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 At what point is it that our government will stop selling their souls to the devil and do what is right for the people? Never before has there been so much selfish desires in America. This country was built on a Christian foundation of serving the people and not seeing what we can take from the people!

 When is enough, enough? I am a humbled father of two wonderful children that is deeply concerned for the future generations due to the lack of true leadership in our country. There must come a point in life when we see how our lives and our decisions are having negative impacts that we say,” Wait a minute I can’t do this anymore, for what I am doing is going to hurt the people and it is time to clean up our act and start properly serving the people.” 

 Many people have fallen to following the crowd and the temporary dollar verses standing on what is right by God and properly serving the people. It is my sincere prayer that every individual learns to work for God rather than for themselves, and we stand again with direction and unity to help clean up this corrupt nation…amen

Real Change In Life

September 30, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in life to say we are going to change or fix a problem but the question is, “Do our actions follow our words?”  There is only one way to change or correct a problem and that is to reach the roots at the bottom and then work our way back up to the top! If we only work on the top then the change is only superficial because it will only last so long before the roots on the inside will overcome that which is on the outside.

 Sometimes in life we have to be on the bottom to even see our way back up to the top. Once we are on the bottom we study our roots and our surroundings in order to repair and build like never before in seeing not only where we went wrong but how to help others along the way… 

  There is only one way to examine our roots and that is with the light of Jesus Christ that exposes our wrongs to make them right. The foundation which we stand is not ours but our Creators’ in Heaven above. Once we learn our position in who gives and takes away it is amazing at the strength we gain once we learn to stand again with God guiding the way.

 We can speak change all day long, but if we do not do the work it takes in reaching the roots then prepare for the change to only last so long before the fall. I challenge you today and every other day to make positive change that will in turn help others in life throug hthe love of Jesus Christ…amen

Our Foundation In America

September 26, 2009 by admin 1 Comment

 It is so easy in life to just jump on board a ship that is already moving at sea without understanding the principles in which the ship was constructed to keep it afloat. It never fails that when we allow others to join us at sea when we don’t teach them how the ship was built on a foundation of God that over time they will forget how to properly believe.

 As time travels on and we continue to overlook how we got off course then it is only a matter of time before the ship loses its direction and strength within its foundation. It is never to late to rebuild as long as we are still afloat but in order to regain our direction sometimes we must take a step back in order to take a step forward once again.

 If the United States of America does not Wake Up and set their anchor then prepare for the wounded ship to only drift further out to sea. A true captain does not rely on what he thinks he see’s! He stands with courage to keep order within the ship and he learns how to follow by listening to God while coordinating his direction by the  stars in Heaven above…

True Leadership And Delegation

September 12, 2009 by admin 1 Comment

Have you ever really stood back and thought about the roll in leadership and how to advance within it?

 So often we see individuals that reach new positions in leadership but they forget how to train others to one day fill their position.

 True leadership is not something we should try and hang on to. For there is nothing more gratifying than training someone else for the position to one day receive some rest and possibly watch them do a better job in the future.

 When we study history we can find that every true leader that served the people did not seek their position and some even ran from their calling.  Also in history it is easy to see those that raised themselves up and eventually fell because they did not keep God in front while serving others along the way. 
 
 By majority our society has forgotten how to look for leaders and has fallen to grabbing hold of whatever can fill the position out of desperation instead of allowing God to raise our leaders among men that follow His will.
 
 You can see this desperation from politics, to Wall Street, to major corporations, and the list goes on and on even from many of our churches today. Many have fallen to putting their hope in man rather than in God in who gives and takes away. It is time that we come together as one and put God back in front of our lives for the sake of our children of tomorrow.
 
 The longer we avoid this truth then the further we are going to fall! Real Change is going to come and the question is what are we going to have to go through before we get there? God is our refuge and our provider for everything we need in life.

 It is very easy in life when we are struggling to try and hang on to anything that will possibly keep us a float. But there comes a time that we must stop to truly evaluate our circumstances and look beyond the immediate to see the future…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…
