Real Change Starts Within

August 18, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in life to say we are going to change but the question is, “Do our actions follow our words?” There is only one way to change or correct a problem and that is to get to the roots at where they began and then work our way back up to the top! If we start on the top then the change is only superficial because it will only last so long before the roots on the inside will overcome that which is on the outside.

 There is only one way to examine our roots and that is with the light of Jesus Christ that exposes our wrongs to make them right. Honestly, how can we expect true change if we do not get to the bottom and work our way back up to the top? Once we are on the bottom it is necessary to study our foundation in order to repair and rebuild stronger than ever before.

  So many times in life we make half hearted attempts to change but due to the commitment that is required along with the hard work that it takes we only scratch  the surface before we eventually give up or settle with something less. I challenge you today and every other day to commit yourself in making a difference not only in your life but in someone elses without settling for something less than what God wants you to have…amen

Seek God Before You Move

August 17, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 In the book of Exodus 40 we were taught a beautiful lesson from God in when to move and when to sit still. This lesson is taught in the Glory of God within the cloud that filled the tabernacle with Moses and the people of Israel.  This same lesson is taught over and over through the generations in the Holy Bible because of how often we tend to not stop and listen.

 How often in our steps of life do we move without seeking the direction of God? He guides us when we stop and listen but often we get so wrapped up in life that we listen to everything else instead of the One who brings it all together. Every action we make is accountable and serves only one of two ways. If we serve self then we serve Satan and if we serve others then we serve God.    

 It is so easy to fall to self and forget how our actions affect others and this is exactly what Satan wants in our lives in losing touch with the people. I challenge you today and every other day to seek God first before you move and examine your steps to insure the path that you are on…amen

What Drives Your Life

August 16, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

  Have you ever taken the time to sit back and truly evaluate where you are? One of the most important things in life to do is to recognize what drives us in our careers, in our homes, in our church and in our relationship with God. The driving factor of everything we do should be out of the love of God in order to maintain what we have been given and to improve from where we began.

 If we can not recognize where we are then honestly how can we even establish where we are going? For every day that God gives us is a new day to improve from where we began and when we allow God’s love to be our driving factor rather than something of this world then we are on the way to a new beginning…amen

Seek God In Prayer

August 13, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 When we bring our problems to God in prayer He often responds by pointing out what we need to address through the Holy Spirit. He does this by showing us how something may need to possibly change within ourselves in order to help us mature for our children’s future. This answer is often not the one that we are looking for but it is more effective in helping us trace God’s hand at work in our life. 

  Once the Lord shows us the direction to overcome our situations it helps to be patient as we walk daily to reach the destinations that we are given. There is nothing more awesome in this life than to see the hand of God at work as we learn to just follow and obey…amen

 Sometimes in life we have to just lay it down in order to see if God wants it stand again...

Jesus Is The Glue In Life

August 12, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy when we get away from the cross of Jesus Christ to lose our balance in where we stand. Life is full of arrows that cause pain and our emotions can be very deceiving when we lose sight of how we are to trust in God rather than in man. Things happen everyday that are out of our control and without the understanding in the Word of God we often lose sight in the worldly fight.

 I challenge you to rise above the things that you may see and learn to recognize how God is the one that is in control. For when we try to hold things together on our own it is only a matter of time before it will fall apart…amen   

 “Any kingdom divided by civil war is doomed and  a family splintered by feuding will fall apart.”

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…
