Can You Imagine?

by Leave a Comment

 Learning to live and work in love is something that we have to balance daily. For it is when we take our eyes off of the rock that holds us up is when we should be thanking God for the anchor that never lets us go. Lets take this a little deeper for more clarity. Can you imagine a tight rope that is fastened to a rock that will not move? Can you imagine this line in a big room with the end no where in sight but being blinded because the light is so bright?

 Now imagine the room filled with an aroma as mist in the air. This gentle mist represents the love of God that is everywhere. As you walk the line in life learning to balance we are to enjoy the love of God that fills the room. There is nothing like learning to balance our life with the Lord and feeling His presence as He carries us forward. 

 God taught us from the very beginning through the Israelites on the importance of walking in love and what happens when we sit around complaining and taking what we have forgranted. Praise God today for everything that you have whether it is just the clothes on your back, the roof over your head or for the air that you breath. Let people see the light that is within you by allowing Gods love to flow without placing your lamp in a corner for no one to see.

 Here is a song by Mercy Me that displays the love of God within a father and his son. This video shows how we are to go the extra mile in order to help someone else smile. For it is the glow within our heart in where it all starts. Enjoy this song I Can Only Imagine and may you feel the touch of God and spread it to others…Amen

Focus on The Promise & Not The Storm…

by Leave a Comment

 Due to our human nature of complacency and what takes place when we lose our perspective in why we are here is when storms tend to come into our lives in order to bring us back to the very beginning. See it is very easy to take for granted what we have until it is taken away and unless we maintain our balance within the Word of God then we better prepare to be thrown around in the wind.

 Don’t get caught up in the lives of one but learn to look at the body through the eyes of the Lord to see how we are all just a individual cell. Each cell can be broken down into different atoms and these atoms represent our surroundings from our homes, our work, our church, our community and our nation. It is when allow Satan to misguide our focus that we tend to forget the commandments of God. When we neglect this is when an infection can set up in the body that can grow out of control until it is brought to our attention.

 Like any infection sometimes they have to be washed, scrubbed or even removed to insure that we get to the root of the infection that is affecting the overall body. This life is not about external growth or material wealth it is about the internal growth with God that carries us forward. It is when we forget this that we better prepare for what is sure to come in discipline to correct the infection before it deteriorates the overall body…Amen

Here is a song by Casting Crowns that will help in any storm…Praise You In The Storm

Recognizing The Signs Of Change…

by Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in our human nature to allow change to upset us when we don’t understand what is actually taking place. There are many different types of change that we encounter in life but really you can sum them all up in two ways. One being external and the other being internal. External change happens in our life whether we like it or not where internal change happens only through our freewill.

 The object in life is to recognize change as it is taking place and learn to work within it without trying to restrict it. When we fight against change that is of natural progression than we are fighting against the will of God. As this takes place the signs of our fight become evident in our words and actions that can be easily seen. Another point to recognize are the signs of change that come due unnatural progression. For when we lose our perspective of God is when Satan spiritually slips in to deteriate what has been built. 

 Recognizing natural and unnatural progression is vital to mainatin and build upon what has been freely given. The next time you encounter some sort of nudge to change test it to the Word of God to see if God has placed it there before you to carry you forward or to recognize if Satan has there to hold you back…Amen

Have You Lost The Cutting Edge?

by Leave a Comment

 In 2 Kings 6 we learn a valuable lesson with Elisha and the floating axe head. We learn how the one who was chopping the tree with a borrowed axe lost the axe head off of the handle. Once he realized that he had lost what he had borrowed he called out to Elisha for help. Elisha asked the young man where he lost it and then they stood together over the place where it fell.

 I want you to think about this with me in another light to better understand this message. Would you agree that what you have in your life is a gift? Would you agree that what you have has been borrowed? Now the question is, how affective is your life with Jesus Christ? Have you lost your edge in the Word of God? Do you know where or why you have lost it? Does your life appear to be like an axe without a head in making no headway in the walls before you?

 Way too many times we, like the one who lost his edge, lose ours because we forget how God is the One that carries us forward. Until we learn to apply Gods Word to our lives we are ineffective as a handle hitting the tree. If you feel stumped today in problems within your home or within your work then seek God’s Word for the answers you need to move forward once again….Amen

Honesty Opens The Door To Freedom…

by 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

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…
