The Best Medicine

October 21, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 There are two stages of emotions that can arise spiritually from Satan when we do not know how to recognize them and subdue them in the name of Jesus. One is the immediate emotion that tempts us to act before we think and the second stage is when we allow the evil spirit to manifest in our minds to the point that it can grow into something that it should not to restrict or divide our relationships at a later date.

 So many times when we do not release the seeds of anger, jealously, bitterness, unforgiveness or pride they grow into something that causes us to be easily confused and tend to cause us to have shallow relationships with no depth in understanding.  When we do not know how to communicate in love and release the things that are holding us back then we often find ourselves either depressed or very temperamental.

 The world disagrees with this because they do not understand it and they can’t make any money off of it. The best medicine that we can ever experience comes in the Word of God in complete honesty with nothing to hide…

Are You Feeling Pressured?

August 27, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in the flesh to measure ourselves through our accomplishments in the world but in the Kingdom of God true greatness is determined by the level of service that we provide to others. Spiritually Satan is very active in our achievements because he knows how we tend to forget who got us to where we are and how we tend to compare ourselves to the standards of the world. Another reason that Satan is very active in this area is because he knows the weakness in our human nature when we allow the pressures of achieving a goal to rob us of who we are or who we can be.

 Pressures often cause us to make wrong decisions, fall into depression, and they even increase our anxieties when we do not know how to trust in God. For there is no pressure with God but only peace in knowing that if it is in the Lords will then it will come to pass in His timing and not in ours. If you are feeling pressured today I challenge you to take a step back and ask God to give you the peace that you need to understand where you are. For when we understand where we are is when we can begin to plan for where we are going…amen

God Will Carry Us Forward

August 11, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever noticed how life seems to be filled with obstacles? These obstacles often seem like walls when we do not know how to seek the guidance of God to help us overcome the hurdles that we face. The world likes to tell us to search the world for our answers because they don’t understand where knowledge truly comes from. 

 It is very easy to travel in circles in the world and continue to face the same patterns time and time again until we learn how to seek God for the direction to move forward. If you feel stuck today in where you are I challenge you to open up the Word of God to find the direction that you need with an open heart so God can guide you from the very start…amen

 The longer we avoid the Truth the further we can fall..

Don’t Put Off What Can Be Done Today Until Tomorrow

May 31, 2010 by admin 2 Comments

  So many times in life we allow ourselves to struggle because we simply don’t do what God has instructed and we allow Satan to spiritually take us down in depression. Satan likes for us to put off what we can do today until tomorrow because he knows how weak we are in the flesh and how our minds become confused when we allow ourselves to get overwhelmed.

 When we put off what needs to be done today until tomorrow our productivity in life can be set back until we learn how to take care of what we have before us. I challenge you today to learn how to prioritize your daily task to insure that you are making the most out of what you have been temporarily given.  

 For what are we teaching our children if we don’t know how to stay focused ourselves to reach and maintain our goals?

Are You An Original Or A Copy?

April 24, 2010 by admin 3 Comments

 Many people spend too much time trying to be like someone else instead of learning to be who they are under God. The world teaches us that if we don’t attend the right schools, the right church, wear the right name brand clothing, become a member of specific clubs, drive the right cars, eat certain types of foods, live in specific neighborhoods, use certain banks, have the right set of golf clubs, shop in the right stores, carry the right colored credit cards, have the right physical figure, and even sadly that if our skin is not the right color then the world automatically places us in different brackets of life. Not only does the world separate the people in physical manners but the world even teaches us to separate ourselves from the sinners.

 In simple terms who is it that separates or divides the people? Who is it that wants us to think that we have to keep up or we will be left behind? Who is it that misguides our thoughts into thinking that we are better than someone else when we are all equal under God? It is surely not God because He sent His only begotten Son here to unite the people in unconditional love through humility and not arrogance. The author of division is Satan that spiritually guides us in our thoughts that leads us to a division in the body without recognizing  what is taking place. These misguided spiritual thoughts of Satan often cause us to focus on ourselves instead of truly caring for the well being of the people.

 The sad part of this division which Satan causes in the body is how our vision becomes restricted when we fall into our own little clicks and we tend to overlook what someone else may have to offer in the overall picture of God. People add color to our lives when we learn to listen for what God has delivered them through and they help give us strength in our times of need because we never know what we may have face tomorrow.

 The dangerous part of when we try to fit in with the world is when we don’t know how to handle rejection under God because this is where Satan often causes us to live in a form of spiritual suppression. When we don’t know who we are under God and we don’t know how to stand on our own in the love of Jesus Christ in this fallen world then we are only setting ourselves up for a fall in rejection. The spiritual suppression of Satan that is caused in rejection will not only affect us directly but it can also affect others indirectly because the person that has been suppressed by Satan will often suppress others because they did not know how to handle their own rejection.

 Often you will find when someone does not know who they are under God that they will be without peace and understanding. When we don’t understand where rejection comes from or understand the discipline that is required in love to reach new levels in life then we are vulnerable to in the deception of Satan that can cause us to be bitter, have envy, become depressed, carry hurts, build anger, covet and even try to run rather than face the Truth.

 With God in our lives there is direction, discipline, purpose, creativeness, and most importantly love without separation in the people. Why do you think that Israel and The United States of America have always been the leaders in innovation and others nations wanted what we had to offer? When we have God in front through the love of Jesus Christ you will find that others will either try to attain what we have received or they will try to take it away. What God gives no man can take away because it is what is in us that makes us who we are!!!

 There is nothing wrong with having something that God has provided, but we must understand that what we have on the outside does not determine who we are on the inside. It is very easy to spend wasted time trying to find ourselves in the world because of what we can physically see but until we learn to truly discover who we are under God through the love of Jesus Christ we will never be set spiritually free.

 God wants us to learn who we are because each one of us add something special in His picture of life. He does not want us to (feel) that we have to have something to fit in because He wants each of us to know who we are through the blood of Jesus Christ. With God we are somebody that is loved and gives love in return without separation in the body of Christ. Until we learn to look to God for the answers we will never find the answers that we truly need to succeed in this life and make it to the next.

 I challenge you to learn to be who you are under God and not to ever (feel) that you have to fit in. Life is about being REAL and learning to make the most out of where we are without allowing Satan to rob us of the joy that we carry on the inside. All things are possible through the love of Christ and nothing is too hard for the Lord when we learn to seek Him for the direction that we need for our children’s future…amen 

 There is a distinct difference in something that is original than something that has been copied by someone else…Be who you are and allow God to set you free!!!

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…
