President Obamas Misguidance

September 5, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 Over the past several months since President Obama has taken office America has encountered numerous issues with how our country is being led. Not only has this misguidance  affected America and other countries around the world the part that hurts me the most is how he is misguiding our children.

  No matter what we try to patch with money until we learn to get to the roots of the issue we will never correct the problem! As a leader in politics it is not our place to influence someone else’s children, but to do our jobs for what is right for the people. We have been given the Word of God and the church to teach our children morals and respect in loving one another through every circumstance in life which strengthens our homes for our children’s future.

 It is a leaders position to be an example in all situations while respecting each parent to do their job in properly raising their children. When a leader takes a position he must understand that there are some things he must sacrifice due to the influence it will have on those that are looking up to them and understanding that he or she is setting an example for our future leaders. In every position there is a certain amount of freedom with discipline that is required in recognizing  that due to our position we are not to go outside certain boundaries due to the negative affects that will follow and this is what every true leader should understand. There is to be order for the people which gives honor and security within our homes while holding ourselves accountable under God for what we have been given.

 Until this country returns to God and our leaders begin to acknowledge our Creator as our founding fathers did in the Declaration of Independence then this country is going to continue to fall into worse conditions due to our human pride in not accepting how we are all accountable for how we give back in what we have been given.

 America as a body has forgotten how to give as Abel in the book of Genesis in giving our best in what we have been given. As Cain, America as a whole has held on to the best for themselves in only giving what they want verses understanding how to give our all. Until America returns to its foundation under God and begins to work in serving one another verses ourselves then we will not see real change in America! Until then as our leaders continue to patch our problems while storing up the best for themselves then prepare for the blessings which was given to America to fade away. The Lord is calling and His children are crying and until we Wake Up the further America will drift out to sea…

 It is my sincere prayer that President Obama and every other leader begins to recognize the Truth in what is taking place in our government in order to stand again in rebuilding strength for our children’s future. We all make mistakes at times and don’t recognize how we are affecting others in our decisions, but all that matters is how we correct ourselves in order to set the right examples for the future generations. Our God is a merciful God that only wants us to recognize our position while seeking Him for the direction of our future…Amen

Spiritual Deception of Satan

August 1, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

  If people can’t see what is taking place in America and around the world then they need to Wake Up before it is too late!!! Over the past 40 years many of our churches have drifted away from the truth in the Word of God and forgotten how to stand strong in faith while learning to grow in their personal relationship with the Lord our Savior. The church is a place for fellowship and instruction to help us mature in the will of God and to help others along the way. But so many have forgotten the meaning of how to love the Lord with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind. And to love your neighbor as yourself.

 So many churches have fallen to social clubs while others have fallen as the Jews did to the Gentiles in trying to keep what they think they know to themselves without sharing it with the sinners that are in need. It breaks my heart to see people in the church that claim to be a Christian but show something totally different in their daily walk from their homes, from their work, and even how they act in the church. This is what has hurt the overall church body over the last 40 years in such a way that it has pushed others away from the church while causing our children to become lost in this world. This has also caused our issues here in America because we have forgotten how to stand on the truth without falling tolerant to what is not right by God.  

 There isn’t a soul on this earth that doesn’t feel pressured at times in causing them to walk right on by the work that really needs to be done or helping someone that may be in need. There are times for quick decisions in life threatening situations but never when we we have the time to truly evaluate the situation. Our world has fallen into the deception of Satan in such a way of thinking that we don’t have the time to share or do what really needs to be done. Satan knows our weaknesses and he knows if we feel pressured that we will make shallow decisions that will eventually come back to haunt us or even destroy us in due time. When we feel pressured for time this robbs us of the true joys in life while neglecting the purpose of time that builds things that will last from our relationships, our companies, our churches, and even our nation. Time is a beautiful thing when we stop and listen but far too often we fall to our pressures in life or to temptations of the flesh instead of building something on the foundation of God that will stand forever on the rock that will not fail.

 It is time that we all stop to refocus our lives back on our foundation and really recognize the spirit that is guiding the steps of our future. Our churches need to recall that the church is a place for the sinner and a place to get filled for the work that we have ahead of us. The lives we are given are our mission fields and it is our duty under God to walk with Him and hold True to His Word while sharing the blessings of God in our lives with everyone that we come in contact with. This life is not supposed to be about us but to give us a glimpse of what we can have in Heaven when we have true love in the family of God while learning how to build something that will last with the time which we are given. 

 It is my prayer that we all Wake Up to the truth before it is too late. Because there is a Heaven and a Hell and if we don’t know where we are going then we need to recognize the path we are on!

 Oh Lord, have mercy on us for we have fallen so far in selfish desires of the flesh. We know you have all power and can do all things and Lord I ask for the sake of our children and yours to forgive us once again in your mercy and grace in order to help those that are lost and to reveal your glory…amen

Where Are The Men of God?

June 24, 2009 by admin 3 Comments

 Where are the men of God that once stood with the armour that did not fall weak and remained strong? I can remember a time when men of God stood boldly and declared the Word of God as the Truth and the light to anyone that is misguiding our children and now where are they? Are they asleep? Are they too concerned of persecution? Or, are they to worried about what they may lose?

 Being a man of God does not mean to lay down and be tolerant of sin but to stand strong in the armour of God without waver from the Truth! In order for us to regain what we have lost we must unify in the body of Christ to serve and obey in what is right for our childen of tomorrow! For Jesus plainly tells us,” Those that lead my children astray might as well put a millstone around their neck!” 

 Our country as a whole has fallen to sin because men have forgotten how to work together in the body in understanding their position under God. Many of our leaders and fathers have become lazy, tolerant, blind, deaf, and too secure in their material life to risk losing what they think they own instead of speaking what is right by God and wrong in sin. If men do not begin to come together as one and stand up in faith with Jesus in their hearts in what is right by God, then what do you honestly see in the future for our children of tomorrow?

 We must come together within the Christian body to gain strength and a unified voice that will tremble this earth within the POWER of God in the Holy Spirit!!! If we do not do this then we will only continue to suffer while others will fade away in all the darkness that is surrounding us in this fallen world.

 So what if we lose our lives or everything we have! For with God we have everything and without Him what do we really have? There is great Honor in the Kingdom of God to those that understand the true meaning of putting ourselves second to others instead of first. This is not about disorder but about giving direction to rebuild this nation on the foundation of God while acting in the love of Jesus Christ. There comes a point in every Christian that we must say, ” Enough is enough and what  you are doing is not right by God and hurting the people!”

 John Adams once said,” We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our constitution was made only for moral and religious people. It is inadequate to the government of any other.”

 George Washington once said, ” It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”

 Men of God need to stand up for our children’s future and put aside our personal desires for the sake of others. It is my prayer that we come together as One Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice For All!!! 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…
