How To Build Character…

February 3, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 In life it is easy to run from our responsibilities and we all want to hide our downfalls. When we accept our responsibilities it helps us to build our character and build an inner strength to overcome our temporary set backs. Once we learn who we are under God and accept our decisions God will give us the motivation to complete our work and an inner confidence because we no longer rely on ourselves but learn to rely and trust in the Lord.

 Satan wants us to hide our issues and run from our problems because he knows how they can destroy us. He also wants us to become angry when confronted and make excuses rather than taking responsibility for the decisions and actions which we have made. Where Jesus on the other hand instructs us to confront our issues in love and walk in faith to reach the other side in God’s glory. I challenge you today to act in love and to commit yourself in everything that you do for others to see the love of Jesus that will shine through…amen

Competition In The Church Body

October 5, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is sad but true how many churches have fallen into the trap of competing against one another instead of working with each other as they should. Some churches are even copying others while some are even trying to market themselves to pull people in. Church is not a place for competition nor a place that should be marketed as a product on the street. It doesn’t matter the type of building we may have or the activities in the church! What matters is the movement of the Holy Spirit in a church that understands their position under God through Jesus Christ in being real verses one that is not. 

 Every church under Christ has its church roll within the body and it is our job to be sharing the Word with others in the streets. As we do the work in sharing the Truth with others then it is between the individual and the Lord for them to follow the pull that they receive in their heart.  Who is guilty of this sin in allowing the competition in the church and (feeling) like they must keep up with the Jones’s to keep their flock together? This sin falls upon our leadership for not properly teaching the love within the family and trying to hold the family together with things of this world verses being in a bond of true love that can’t be broken.

Love is not something that can be bought for it was freely given. For things of this world fade away, and the love of God goes on forever…

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

Obesity In The American Church

August 2, 2009 by admin 3 Comments

 Over the past several years the Christian body has been growing in large numbers in other countries while many of the American churches struggle to stay alive.  The reason for this growth in foreign nations is the hunger for the truth which has been kept from them by their government or others who simply wanted to use the people to serve their own selfish desires. This suppression is exactly why The United States of America was formed in 1776 because we as Christians no longer wanted to be told how to worship and we believed in all being equal under God through the freedom of Jesus Christ. This suppression that our ancestors once lived under created such a hunger and drive that they were willing to risk their lives for our freedom today. 

  But now over the years many Christians and Americans have become fat and even complacent to the point that they don’t even appreciate what they have been given. This country is a beautiful country that was a gift from God and now over time by not holding true to our diet in the will of God we have become overweight and even lazy in feeling that we can’t do something when we can!!! Since when are we to give up? There is always hope as long as we have breath and the Lord is saying,”Return to me and I will bring you home…“

 America has eaten so much steak that we have forgotten how to appreciate the bologna and in turn there are many that don’t even appreciate the steak anymore because they have eaten so much that they are feeding off of self in such a way that it is misguiding the children…

Direction With God In America

May 5, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 I have come to a point that I don’t know what else to say in trying to open the eyes of every believer to what is really taking place around the world. The Lord is revealing His anger at all our sin and every day things are only getting worse because we are so caught up in the physical and can’t see the spiritual. By majority, the people have come to a point in our society where we have forgotten how to hear the Word of God and began to look to man for the answers instead of whom gives the answers.

 There is not one true believer that can read throughout this ministry website and not see what the Lord has given to me to share with you. I know the day will come when the Lord will open the door for me to move forward but I pray that it comes soon. Because the longer the people don’t listen then the further they will drift away. Things are changing all around us and if the people do not Wake Up to the Truth and turn to God for guidance instead of man then matters are only going to continue to get worse!

 It is okay to have opinions on matters but opinions are nothing without direction!

 There is only one direction in moving forward and without God in front we will only go in circles in all the opinions that people are trying to show in their intellect.  We all at times want attention on ourselves and want to show what we know. But it is vital to recall that attention on self is short lived while attention on God goes on forever. We must quit all the talk, refocus and get back to work…

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…
