The American Country I Once Knew

by 3 Comments

Statue of LibertyThere was a time in this country when children played in the streets and you couldn’t drive through a neighborhood without seeing innocent children riding their bikes with smiles of security that was given in their homes. This security that these children once felt did not only come from their homes and friends but it trickled down from our leaders who once led this country and stood under God for what is right for the people.

 Over the years of trying to please the people by being politically correct our country,  The United States of America,  has drifted away from the truth in serving self instead of serving others. When we serve others we serve God and when we serve self then we serve Satan! It is that simple and true.

 It is time that we as Americans and as Christian’s look for God fearing leaders to replace these fallen leaders in order to clean this mess up. There are no other words to describe what has taken place in our government and in our nation. We have simply allowed a mess to build and now over time while trying to avoid the mess by just sweeping it under the rug we are seeing the end results.

 Yes, there is a major job to do in our country but alway’s remember this in every mess you face,”You can only take it on one section at a time. For if we continue to only talk about it without looking for the right ones under God, with the talent’s to get the job done, then honestly what are we doing?”

The Old Church to The New Church…

by 2 Comments

Where did the church as a whole go wrong, many denominations are asking?

Why are many denomination’s like the Baptist, the Methodist, the Presbyterians, the Catholics and many others struggling in growth while the new church is growing in leaps and bounds?

Where is the voice that the church once carried in our homes, in our schools, in our work place and even in our nation?

 Well, I can tell you many of these answers because the Lord has given me the spiritual understanding and the wisdom to share this in another light that will open the eyes and ears to help us move forward from where we are today. In one instance of many,  the old church set too many man made rules in place which has restricted the Spirit of God while becoming complacent in their ways to not see the future. Over the years of the old hellfire and brimstone teaching, many failed to teach the difference in loving the sinner but how to hate the sin. This caused many church going children to rebel once they were out from under their parents who forced the church upon them.  While on another note many who wanted to attend the church were discouraged for how the church portrayed themselves above the sinner for they failed to understand the meaning of Jesus saying, “ I have come to not call those who think they are righteous but those that know they are sinners.” 

 Over the years one of the hardest parts in leadership is learning how to pass on the candle to the next ones in line that the Lord has placed before them to uplift the next generation. Because of these fears and selfish desires many in leadership have held on to their positions for too long in losing the interest of the youth while not recognizing how God is working in the next generation. There are two parts of scripture which back this up from the old church in not knowing how to move forward and one is with Moses only going so far and then Joshua carrying out the mission. While the other part is in the lesson of Eli and Samuel which teaches us to keep our eyes and ears open to the Word of God speaking through the youth at heart while trying to touch the old but the child within. It is very easy in life as we grow old to miss where God is speaking if we don’t keep ourselves in tune. 

   On the other hand the new church has gone completely opposite in a form of rebellion towards the old church. By allowing more freedom in the church which is causing many to get caught up in the emotions instead of understanding the purpose of order and discipline which teaches us how to stand on our own with the Lord in front. The new church by majority is not speaking out against sin as it should while forgetting the importance of the foundation in the word of God.  This has opened the door to Satan in many ways in causing confusion in the emotions of the spirit for not knowing how to discern between the two. There are two parts that are vital to understand in the house of God and one is recognition of the spirit and the other is the peace in knowing there is no confusion because of the order in the church. This time period of the new church is also backed up in the Word of God in the life of Nebuchadnezzar who once new God but forgot Him over time as he fell to himself in drifting away from what he once knew.

 There are no divisions in the house of God and every single person has a purpose in the kingdom. These past divisions have restricted the power of God in our lives, in our church and even  in our nation because we have forgotten the overall eternal goal. By all of this taking place we have lost our vision and direction in the wilderness but it is time for us to cross to the other side! It is never too late as long as we have breath and all things are possible with God!

 Always remember there is complete order, discipline and respect in the Word of God in the freedom which we have been given and we are to learn how to move when He opens the doors without trying to open them ourselves! If the old church and the new church do not come together in the common denominator of Jesus Christ then the overall church body is going to continue to struggle while this world only continues to grow darker because we have forgotten how to live in the freedom which the Lord has given. It is my heartfelt prayer that the church Wakes Up To This Truth For Our Children’s Future!!!

Gov. Mark Sanford Adds To Americas Moral Decline

by 2 Comments

 Here is another example of the moral decay in America that continues along the same lines of Bill Clinton in the affair that changed our society. Ever since that night with Bill Clinton stating that oral sex is not sex this changed our children’s perspective in the wrong direction that continues to decline in trying to justify something wrong in order to make yourself look right. What examples are we honestly being to our children when we abuse our positions and continue to justify what we did wrong instead of just stating the truth in where we failed to adhere to the Word of God in losing our self control?

 We all face temptations in life and without standing on the Word of God then it is only a matter of time before we give in. I agree that this matter is a personal matter with the Sanford family but I must add that this is also a matter of proper leadership due to the example that it is being to our children. Whether he loses his job as governor or not over the affair is one thing but in common sense when a man has a job with certain responsibilities and simply does not do his job then what should he honestly expect? Our motto in our company is this,” Do your job or be fired,” and this should be the motto in America . We all make mistakes but there is no excuse for wrong doing that affects the people and when we continue to allow wrong actions then what message are we sending to our children of tomorrow?

 If we continue to be tolerant in our society and allow individuals to do as they please with no repercussions for their actions then what message does this show? Change does begin in our homes but it is high time that leaders begin to do their jobs in holding themselves accountable under God and doing what is right for the people. It is time that we seek leaders that care more for what is right for the people and by the people instead of those that care more about fulfilling their selfish desires in their leadership positions.

 Until we learn how to speak the truth and face our wrong decisions in sin then our lives will only  continue to fall even further away from what we know to be true. It is my prayer that Mark Sanford is able to teach his children how to not fall as he and South Carolina does what is right in sending the proper message to our country that will make others think before they act….

Spiritual Messages From Hollywood

by 29 Comments

 It is easy to see how Hollywood has been falling away from God over the years and how California has fallen to sin in their tolerant actions. But the beautiful part is how many of them don’t even recognize how the Lord is working in them to spread a message of faith in the biblical truths of Jesus Christ through movies that are reaching throughout the world .

 To view these hidden messages read the Spiritual Movie Reviews at the site noted below to see something beyond the characters which we physically see. You can view these reviews at https://www.balancedlifeministry.org/blm/seminars-events and when you read these reviews listen to your heart without looking upon the flesh of man to see something like you have not seen from Hollywood in a long time or on rare occasions.

 God is great and will even work through those that don’t even understand whom is in control!!!

A Great Revival Is Coming To America

by 8 Comments

Soaring Eagle All over the world there have been great awakenings in the glory of God through Jesus Christ while America sat stagnant in looking for the fire that we once carried.  The reason for our stagnant growth here in America is because many have left the the truth and fallen tolerant in not speaking out against sin. The fire never left us but we left the fire in the Word of God and it is time for us to return to what we know in our hearts for our children’s future. There is a great revival just beyond the horizon here in The United States of America but always remember before every great revival there is a seasoning that takes place in order to prepare the hearts of the people to receive what they need in order to find their way back home. It is time that we all begin to claim VICTORY and seek God for the direction to overcome this evil spirit that has been suppressing our country and tearing our homes apart.

 We know in our hearts the Truth and it is time we stand together under God and do what is right for our children’s future. I face problem’s everyday just like everyone else but I praise God through Jesus Christ that He saw me even worthy to go through what I have in order to help someone else in their walk of life .  It is imperative to remember that sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. But it is during these times that there is great peace and joy because we know in our hearts that the Lord has something far better in store  just beyond the horizon.

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…
