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!!!

Are You Making Emotional Decisions?

November 4, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever been at such a point in your emotions that you felt that you could no longer control yourself? Have you ever lost control and then later regretted your actions? Our emotions can be extremely dangerous when we do not have the discernment to recognize good and evil in the self discipline of God. The next time you find yourself being consumed by a particular emotion take a step back to insure the proper impact on the future.

 Don’t be blind sided spiritually by Satan in your emotions and allow him to set you back instead of trusting in God to carry you forward. This lesson is taught to us in Genesis 4 with Cain and Abel and throughout the Holy Bible. Another great lesson of this is with King Herod and the beheading of John the Baptist. King Herod allowed his sexual desires to blind him into something that he later regretted. Do you think that President Clinton and John Edwards might could relate with King Herod? 

 Unfortunately, we all can relate at times to allowing our emotional decisions to guide our actions and this is why it is imperative that we teach our children the Word of God to maintain our future. If there is something in you that is consuming you and robbing you of your joy turn to God in the love of Christ before you act to insure that everything stays intact…Amen

Are You Firmly Planted?

October 28, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Did you know that it is Satan’s objective in your life to keep you from being committed not only to God but in everything else? It should be our desire as a Christian to make a positive difference in this world but what good is this if we can’t even make a positive difference where we are? We often tend to chase the world instead of learning to grow where God has planted us because we tend to neglect what we already have.

 It is in our human nature to conquer things that we don’t have but what good is conquering something if we don’t know how to maintain it? Don’t fall to the spiritual traps of Satan that cause us to lose our balance and forget where we stand. The world likes to tell us, “Do this and do that.” Where God says, “Take care of this and if you neglect what you have don’t be surprised when I allow it to be taken away.”

 Staying in tune with God and learning to grow where He has planted us helps us to develop a sense of peace that only comes from God. If you are missing this peace seek God in prayer for the direction you need to bloom where you have been planted…

Balancing Is An Art…

October 22, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 As a child of God did you know that we internally go through a war until we learn how to surrender to God through Jesus Christ? Once we learn how to Surrender the next stage is learning how to Balance. Think about it; “Surrendering is an act and Balancing is an art that requires self discipline to maintain who we are.”

 Both stages are very important in our daily lives and one does not work without the other because if you can’t learn to trust then you will never learn how to walk. The object is once we learn how to walk that we learn how to Balance while being anchored to the Rock of our salvation to insure that we are secured in case a fall. There are times that we all stumble and there are times that some of us may fall but all that matters is that we pick ourselves up when we hear God’s call…amen

Emotional Decisions Can Deceive Us

October 19, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Everyday we have to make decisions that have an impact on our future from the food that we eat to the people that we meet. Based on our emotions of the day or the pressures that we are under, Satan is spiritually at work to misguide us in our actions because he does not want us to ever discover the purpose that God has in store for our lives.

  Spiritually Satan works not only in us if we allow him to guide our actions but he works through others to throw us off course. This is why it is crucial to stay close to the Lord in our decisions to insure that we are rooted in His Word.  With God first in our lives we have productivity and joy through the peace that He gives when we learn to place our trust in Him instead of taking matters into our own hands.

 Before you act in your emotions catch yourself to insure that the steps that you are taking line up in the will of God before you possibly have a negative impact on someone else. Every decision has an impact and to insure the spiritual driver look for the type of seed that is being planted to insure the harvest in the future…

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…
