Honesty Opens The Door To Freedom…

May 2, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in this human life to avoid the Truth that sets us free. The longer that we avoid the necessity of studying and applying Gods Word to our lives the further we will fall into the darkness of this world. Without examining our inner most self  on a daily basis this opens the door for Satan to spiritually plant something that we never see coming.

 Like cancer, sin that is contained within can spread throughout the body and infect many parts. The sad part is how we tend to cover up our sins or hide them due to our pride because we are too worried about how someone else may look upon us instead of being more concerned in how the Lord sees us. We all know people that are hiding things as we have done so ourselves but until we can learn to be open and honest in accepting who we are under God then we will remain in the chains of bondage.

 There is nothing worse than to be under conviction while in sin and continuing to give Satan victory over our lives due to our own pride. Way too many times we choose to avoid the Truth due to the initial pain but when we learn to make that step is when God will take care of the rest. If you are struggling deep down inside with something or maybe carrying a deep hurt it is our prayer that you will seek the light of Jesus Christ to see your way out of the darkness…Amen

Confession Brings Freedom

March 30, 2011 by admin 1 Comment

 Did you know that our unconfessed sins can lead us into depression and place us in a spiritual prison? They can also cause us many different types of health issues and can have a negative affect on those around us. Our pride that causes us to hold back confession allows Satan to enter our lives in order to restrict the healing that comes in the Truth of God.

 Through our confessions there comes freedom in Christ but too many times we allow Satan to hold us back because we don’t want others to see where we have been wrong. So what about what others might think! Isn’t your relationship with God more important than your relationship with man? We all make make mistakes from time to time but the object is to humble ourselves in Christ and learn from them to not repeat again.

 If you are allowing the same sin to continue then I strongly urge you to examine yourself in the mirror of God. For true repentance does not repeat the same action…

God Is To Be The Governor Of Our Lives

September 10, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever noticed how the human race tries to create something that they can not? There are scientist trying to create life and they can’t even properly explain our birth. There have been leaders that tried to create specific atmospheres like Hitler, Sodom and others who restricted the people because they could not properly govern the people. There have been churches that developed so many rules that they have quenched the Spirit of God due to their own lack of understanding of how to trust in God rather than in man. 

 It is vital that we recognize the difference between a controlling atmosphere and the climate of God that is governed with self discipline to maintain the freedom that we have been given. Over the years of individuals getting away from the Truth in the Holy Bible and not teaching the spiritual deception of Satan man has developed man made rules to follow due to the less work that is required to properly teach what needs to be taught in the Word of God.

 When we do not teach our children how to maintain their freedom through the Word of God and how to seek God for the guidance in the choices that they have to make then we are only setting them up to be devoured by Satan in their unbridled emotions that will cause them many heartaches and pains. In the freedom of God we learn to appreciate His command to maintain what we have been given and to grow stronger for our children’s future. For when we learn to truly love one another is when we learn to appreciate what it takes to maintain the love that we have…amen

 If we do not know how to stand on the principles of God then all we will ever do is continue to fall…

There Is Liberty & Freedom With God

August 30, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 In this life we may face many injustices and things which we do not understand. We may even be falsely accused or misunderstood by our family and friends. There will be times that we may feel unappreciated for the love that we show and times that our ideas may be completely ignored. But there is one thing that we all should remember and that is to praise God in the days that we are given for He sees and remembers all the good that we do.

 It is up to the Lord to decide the timing and the appropriateness of our rewards. Because if we do not put our trust in Him to vindicate us in His timing and not our own then we are setting ourselves up spiritually for Satan to take us down in hatred or in self pity. It is vital to recognize that our rewards do not come in this life for the ones that we receive here are only the blessings that God gives with the intentions for us to bless others.

 When we learn to place our trust in the Lord is when we can begin to experience the peace that comes only from God. Not only will we experience this peace but God will also set us free from the worries of how others may perceive us when we learn in whom to believe. This is true freedom and liberty that is only given by God and can not be achieved by man…amen

Our Independence & Freedom Come From God

July 3, 2010 by admin 5 Comments

It is important to recall the spiritual objective of Satan in robbing us of our freedom which we have been given through the blood of Jesus Christ and how he wants us to live under his control to rob us of who we are as a child of God. If you open your eyes to this truth we can see how Satan has been working spiritually over the years to remove our freedom here in America within our homes, our churches and our nation through individuals that failed to recognize who they were following in their own selfish ambitions which tries to hold down others due to their own insecurities and lack of understanding in the Word of God. 

 The freedom which we have been given by God here in America has been under attack since the formation of this country and due to our complacency in the Word of God we have allowed Satan to make a stronger foothold in this nation by trying to please the people and ourselves instead of our Father In Heaven. Our freedom comes in our freewill which we have been given by God in the choices which we make, and if we are not careful to recognize the spiritual traps of Satan whos main objective is to rob us of our own Independence under God then we are only allowing Satan to separate us further from the truth which we know.

 When we do not understand how to trust in God and follow our heart then we become very vulnerable to the spiritual control of Satan. One of the most deceptive ways that Satan likes to misguide us is in the spirit of power due to the impact on the people. The spiritual deception that comes in influence and power is a very strong spirit that can ultimately lead to destruction if we are not careful to understand what is taking place under God. Once we recognize what is taking place it is our position to speak the truth in love and do our jobs to the best abilities which we can while trusting in God to make a way for our children to move forward. There is something that each one of us can do to make a positive difference in the life of another and if we are not seeking God for our direction and using our blessings that He has given to serve His will instead of our own then we need to ask ourselves what we are really doing for our children’s future? 

  In the freedom which God has given us it is also vital that we understand the purpose of self discipline that is taught in the Holy Bible in order to maintain what we have in our homes and in our nation. Without God man can not handle power and without the love of Jesus in our hearts we lose touch with the people! Learning to trust in God is a simple but difficult thing to do in our flesh. Because in the flesh we have fears of losing control rather than learning how to advance in the Kingdom of God by allowing Him to hold things together rather than us trying to do it ourselves.

 It is the Lords’ will that we all learn how to love one another for who we are under God with Him in front while each one of us learn how to work together as One in the love of Jesus Christ to serve His will instead of our own. I challenge every reader that reads this message to recognize the spiritual deception of Satan that takes place when we try to control our circumstances in life without allowing the love of Jesus to hold it all together…amen

            Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions…Matthew 7:20

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…
