Caring For Others

May 15, 2012 by admin 2 Comments

In John 5 there was a man in need and in fact he carried this need for 38 years. The man was crippled and seeked healing from a pool of water. He was right at the edge of the water but every time the door opened to go in someone else stepped over him while others over looked this mans need because they were so focused on their own.

This morning as I was crossing the river the Lord gave me this message. See this man had a need and was within the the walls of the church building. For 38 years people stepped over him and pushed him aside to insure that they received their healing rather than caring about someone else’s. Why could someone not have sacrificed something of themselves for this man? Was it due to their own selfish desires? Where was their compassion and true love?  In 1 John 3:16 we learn,”This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.” There is another scripture that ties to this lesson and that is with the persistent widow in Luke 18. This man did not become discouraged and lose hope. He continued to have faith that one day he would receive the healing as he did and not from the pool of water but from the healing hands of Jesus Christ.

May this message this morning encourage you to take your eyes off of yourself and to help someone else in need. To stand like you have never stood and to walk like you have never walked in the healing hands of Jesus Christ.

Here is a video that may bless you this morning as it does me…My Redeemer Lives

Forgiveness Brings Restoration

December 21, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Learning to stand again when you have been stepped on by others that could not see and by those that failed to believe is taught in the life of Joseph with his own brothers as Joseph displayed his love for God by forgiving so the family could be reconciled. This same message was taught by Jesus at the cross which is recorded in Luke 23:34, “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”

 Is there someone in your life that you have not forgiven? Is there someone that has hurt you beyond human repair? Maybe your family is splintered due to the  lack of communication or jealousies that can develop from within. Are you harboring bitterness or anger due to some thing that happened in the past? Or, have you learned how to forgive and love for your family to steadfast?

 Spiritually Satan works in many ways to destroy the love between our family and friends. This takes place often because we allow our vision to be blocked by what we see and forget how to trust in God in whom we are to believe. We all experience pains and misfortunes in life but when we learn to take our shortcomings to the Lord is when our relationships can be restored.

 I challenge you to put your feelings aside and swallow your pride to feel the love of Jesus that is standing by. There is a point in life that we have to learn the art of sacrifice in order to receive the eternal rewards. Can you honestly tell me what is worth being separated from the love of God in your family and friends? Don’t allow Satan to rob you of the healing that comes in forgiveness and cause you to come up short in the End…

Child Like Faith

August 4, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

   It is very easy to see the physical differences in people and allow these differences to cause a division within the overall body that create a barrier for us to overcome. These divisions that can come between us not only rob us of the blessings of God but they also open the door to Satan to spiritually misguide us into forgetting how we are to work together as One in the body as children of God.

 Jesus tells us that we will never enter into the Kingdom of God unless we become like little children and this is where we often miss the boat as we mature. A child does not judge an individual for what they have or for where they have been, for a child just looks for the love in the individual without any partiality from within. Another part of the child like faith is that they are still teachable in their tender hearts without becoming stuck in their ways to miss what God has before them.

 I challenge you today to open your heart and recall what it was like to be a child to hear the message that Jesus wants us to hear…

Debt And Deception In America

December 12, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 Over the last 40 years America has really allowed Satan to rob us of the freedom which we have in this country by chasing our dreams and becoming enslaved to the lender. Many people have been deceived by a generation of Americans that left God by chasing selfish desires and allowing themselves to become consumed with easy finance to a point that has misled many children, taken lives, divided homes, and suppressed America in a national debt that is  robbing us of our freedom in life. Finance is good when we keep it in balance, but as Jesus taught us when tempted by Satan we are to look beyond our desires to insure not only the possible outcome but most of all our children’ s future.

 God teaches us in the Holy Bible not to act on our emotions while Satan on the other hand wants us to jump before we are ready. When we don’t properly understand the biblical principles in the Word of God and difficult times fall upon us then Satan knows that we will grab a hold of anything to stay afloat. This spiritual tactic of Satan has misguided many people to prey on the weak for selfish desires instead of doing what is right in properly caring for the people.  

 Throughout the Holy Bible we were taught to be patient and to wait on God for He knows what is better for us than we know for ourselves. But by our country falling weak in our Christian faith this has allowed the secular world to misguide our country to a point that our children are losing more and more of their future freedom every day. It is easy to see Satan’s plan over the last 40 years by first consuming the people to chase their dreams and then allowing our own greed to lead to a corporate model that is destined to fall. Now due to this financial deception, Satan is hard at work within our own government to take over more and more of the free enterprise because many of us don’t even see how our country is falling deeper in debt to the point that we are all becoming slaves to the lender.

 Debt creates a drive to reach different levels in life but when we don’t understand the Word of God our debt can become a burden that will rob us of our purpose in life through Jesus Christ. Always know what may look good to the eye at first may not always be the road we need to travel. Because it is what we can’t see that will get us every time when we step out in our emotions instead of trusting in God to bring it all together...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…
