Quality or Quantity???

September 8, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever considered the importance of quality over quantity? Due to the spiritual deception of the devil the American culture is now seeing the results of selling its birthright since the formation of this country and we can often witness the same results in our relationships today. When we feel as if we don’t have time when we really do this is where we lose our balance in this life and it can affect the next generation.

Think about it! Why are so many ancient structures still standing when our buildings today fall in one gust of wind? Why do you think that within this generation we are witnessing so many children falling to drugs or to crime? Why do you think the divorce rate is so high and we are witnessing families falling apart? The simple answer is the lack of God centered time which is driven by love without being driven by the world.

Whatever you build whether in your families or in your work build them with quality time to maintain the longevity in life. For what good is something if there is no substance and it sways in the first winds that come to knock it off course?

Speak The Truth Without Fear

November 19, 2010 by admin 3 Comments

Due to our society here in America drifting away from the Word of God and leaving out the gospel of Jesus Christ this has allowed Satan (spiritually) to develop a society that is growing in fear. This fear that has been building here in our country has allowed our government and leadership to develop laws of man to govern the people instead of teaching the self discipline that is taught in the Word of God. We have become a nation of critics instead of One Nation Under God with Liberty and Justice for All.

The spirit of fear has been used as a marketing tool of Satan to spiritually rob us of our joy that we simply have in life. Unfortunately, this spirit of fear has even misled many pastors in the pulpit due to their own fears of losing the congregation verses trusting God to supply their needs. God’s word plainly tells us that no man knoweth the day nor the hour and the Lord plainly teaches us to cast our fears upon the Lord while trusting in Him to deliver our needs.

There are many different levels of fear that can take us down into a dark lonely pit of no return. Fear causes us to run to the doctor everytime we feel a sniffle coming on, fears rob us of victory because we are too scaird of failure and our fears often cause us to sugar coat the Truth to the point that Satan will place us in spiritual bondage. Here is an example of spiritual bondage that develops in a broken home that does not follow the Word of God;

Let’s take a single parent that has been recently divorced and lost their child. It is their time to spend with the child and they are looking forward to the weekend. Now, when the child arrives he/shetest the parameters of the home due to losing the structure that once gave them the security within their home. This often takes place due to their own inner anger with their parents and it can lead into rebellion with a child. Out of fear the parent does not want to correct the child because they fear that their child will not want to return.

This fear of a parent not disciplining their child leads to the child now becoming the parent. Instead of the parent guiding the child the child begins to guide the parent and the longer this develops the harder it is to correct. Where many divorced parents go wrong is trying to buy their children’s love instead of teaching them how to be content and work through their issues in life through the love of Jesus Christ.

Another side of this fear that can develop in a broken home is when the parents do not know how to trust God and be obedient to His Word. When this takes place either one of the parents or both tend to turn their child against the other parent due to their own fear of losing the love of their child. This lack of trusting God places us in a spiritual bondage of Satan that can have a negative impact on our children’s future. Where many divorced parents go wrong is trying to rob their own child of the love that is shared with the other parent.

Our fears of speaking the Truth in love and adhering to God’s Word places us in a vulnerable position for Satan to rob us who we are as a child of God and it opens the doors to the pit that will take us down not only individually but also as a nation unless we Wake Up to the Truth in the Word of God. This dark pit of fear has been used by Satan spiritually to divide our children and to capitalize on our emotions. If we are not careful to address our fears in the Truth and we allow them to continue to build then we are setting ourselves up for an explosion that could have been prevented if we would simply follow God’s Word.

Based on the 1st Amendment of the United States of America every citizen has a right to speak the Truth in the Word of God and to share their salvation in Jesus Christ. Where many Christians go wrong is that it is not our place to push our way on another for love is never directed because it comes in our own freewill.

Man should never allow his fears to rob him of the Truth. Nor should any entity be allowed to remove God from our foundation. Without God our homes and our lives become vulnerable to Satan and they cause us to have fears that lead us to following man instead of the Lord. Without the Truth what do we really think that we have and who do we really think that we are? There is strength and security within the Truth of God that protects our nation and our homes for our children’s future.

If there is anything gained from this article it is my prayer that you don’t allow your fears to rob you of the Victory that we have in the love of Jesus Christ and that you learn to simply speak the Truth of God while trusting in Him to do the rest. His Word does not return to us void!!!

A Marriage Of God Last Forever

September 4, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

There is a distinct difference between a marriage that is of God and marriage that is of the flesh. A marriage that is of the flesh lacks the spiritual connection that is of God and without the spiritual connection in our relationship the physical connection will never experience the depths of love that will get us through. It is vital that we recall that everything in the physical life is only here for a season and everything that we receive in the spiritual life last for eternity.

So many times when we do not properly understand the Word of God we allow ourselves to make decisions that are based solely in our own emotions or we tend to make decisons that only serve our self. Our emotions are very deceiving especially when we feel as if we are being pressured to make a decision due to our immediate desires or due to giving in to the pressures of something else.

In the eyes of a human we tend to not understand the difference between a commitment in the flesh and a marriage that is of God. This is why the divorce rate here in America is so high due to relying on the physical connection that is destined to change and never making the spiritual connection that last forever. Without the spiritual connection of God our marriages are vulnerable to the world and they often become lifeless because they fail to allow God to keep them alive. There is a constant spiritual battle here on earth with Satan to separate us from what God gives in the love that we have because of his own separation from the Kingdom of God.

As a child of God we know the feeling of true love in our hearts but when we do not know the ingredients in the Word of God that make up the glue that holds it all together we often allow ourselves to be placed in a form of bondage through our fleshly commitments in search of the love that we know. True love is only given by God and maintained through His Son Jesus Christ and when we make commitments that are not driven by God then we are setting ourselves up for a divorce in the future.

We are all susceptible to the deception of Satan and tend to fall at times to the things that we think that we see due to the way that we feel. This lesson is taught throughout the Holy Bible and especially taught in the life of Isaac and his two sons Jacob and Esau. Within this lesson we study four different characters with two that devised a plan to rob the other two of the blessing that they had received. There were decisions made out of desperation, pressures, and deception to achieve certain objectives without trusting in God and taking matters into their own hands. The decision that was guided by Rebekah the wife of Isaac to have Jacob deceive his father caused a division in the family for several years until Jacob humbly returned home in hopes to restore what had been broken. This is the whole message of God to each of us here today, “For when we humble ourselves and trust in God He will not only restore our lives but He will give us the direction to move forward once again.”

With God in our life there is constant growth that allows us to see things that others can not. The object in this life is to learn how to stand on our own under God without allowing the spiritual influence of Satan to misguide our actions. What God gives us in our marriages is a blessing that we know only comes from God but there is also a spiritual lesson that we are to learn and that is how two can become one in the mind and soul. Once we learn this then we are on the way to learning about the Trinity that makes our lives complete in the Kingdom of God.

For when we learn to wait on God and seek His will in everything that we do is when we will discover the peace that only He provides…amen

True Communication Requires A Loving Spirit

June 2, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

One of the hardest things to do when we are trying to build something in life is learning how to listen and to trust God for the outcome. So many times we get into our feelings when something is not going our way and we allow things to build that can cause a division. Learning to communicate in a loving spirit is vital to maintain our relationships with one another and just because we may not agree with what someone else may have to say does not mean that we do not need to listen.

The Word of God teaches us that our relationships should be equally yoked because if one person carries all the load then it is only a matter of time that something could break. Each one of us have specific responsibilities to help one another reach what God has put before us in love and when we only think of ourselves then this only shows how shallow the love is that we carry. I challenge you to go the extra mile in what God has given and learn to communicate in a loving spirit to build upon what God has before you…amen

It is when we think that we have all the answers that God shows us how little we are…

How To Avoid Division & Divorce…

February 27, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

It is very easy to speak out against what we see, but in true love that is directed by God we are to stand in faith while sharing the love of Jesus Christ. God shows us what is not right by Him in others to help shape us into who He wants us to be.

As we mature and learn to trust in God it is our duty as a true Christian to stand fast in love with patience for God to correct what needs to be corrected. It is when we take matters into our own hands that we can cause a division in our relationships to the point that they cause anger and even divorce. Rather than focusing on what is negative in the picture we should be looking for the positives to help us learn to overcome the negatives.

Many divisions in the church and in our homes have developed from a lack of understanding the true meaning of a commitment under God that teaches us to work together through our trials to build something stronger for our children’s future. What are we teaching our children when we don’t work together and when all we do is point out what is wrong in others?

In order for our children to understand a commitment under God we must be an example in our commitments to properly teach them how to work through the hard times to reach the good times. By separating ourselves and blaming one another for our shortcomings it only teaches our children to place blame on someone else rather than taking responsibility for their own actions.

Real change comes when we commit ourselves in prayer for God to bring things together rather than trying to fix it ourselves. So many times we get in the way because we interfere with how God is working to correct what we see. It should be our goal to work on ourselves and allow the light that we carry to help someone else to see the proper way to believe. Rather than taking matters into your own hands and possibly causing a division or even a divorce learn to trust in God while communicating in the love of Jesus Christ. It doesn’t matter where we go or who we meet there is always something that can be done but it is our place to focus on the positives rather speaking out on the negatives…amen
