Spiritual Metamorphis…

May 5, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Can you imagine how a butterfly must feel when ready to come out of the cocoon? Can you imagine if there was more than one butterfly within the cocoon in how uncomfortable it would be as God was preparing each one to be set free? Do you think the butterfly would want to stay with his home and possibly fight against the spiritual push?
  

 The object in life is to never grow comfortable where we are and to recognize when God is preparing us to move. For when we fight against the spiritual shift of God is when things will become uncomfortable for ourselves and eventually others as well. Another point to recognize is what happens when we overlook the guidance of God and hang out too long. Because the longer we overlook the signs the harder the move will become.                                                                                                           

 Unfortunately, way too often it takes a storm to carry us forward because we become too comfortable on the branch in which we stand. If you are experiencing the nudge of change be open to follow as God directs and be ready to move when He says to move…Amen

For Those With Ears To Hear…

November 16, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Did you know that when a butterfly is born there is a process of inner development before the break through? Another key part of this growth of a butterfly is the principles that we learn once it is set free from the cocoon on the tree. The butterfly does not just start flying immediately once it has wings because it is necessary to grow strength and learn how to move in this new world.

 The growth of a butterfly is like the growth of a Christian. We start as a seed and then crawl on the ground before we learn how to fly on our own. Can you see the importance of reading the flight manual in the Owrd of God before we take off? The unfortunate side of this is how so many never figure out how to fly because they become stuck on the ground. Learning to walk is often not the issue but learning how to grow our wings in the spirit of God is the most awesome experience that we can ever encounter.

 If you have not discovered your wings or you feel as if they have been clipped seek God and look within yourself to discover something that you already have. How can we ever learn to fly if we are not willing to jump and how do we honestly expect to grow stronger if we don’t exercise our wings? Can you see the importance of your wings being balanced before your flight? Sometimes we have have to step out from the old to learn something in the new…

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…
