Freedom With God…

by Leave a Comment

 One of the hardest parts in life is learning when to let go and allow God to be fully in control. There is freedom beyond comprehension when we learn to trust in God and allow Him to bring things together. It is in our human nature to hang on to what we see but there must come a point that we learn how to properly believe.

 It is when we learn to trust in God and put Jesus in front of everything we do that our walk of life will improve and we will have peace in our struggles. Do you know how to trust in God today? Or, are you making decisions being totally reliant on yourself or on someone else’s instruction? It is wise to consult with another believer that has experience to help you through but never make a decision without seeking God first in everything you do…amen

Stay Strong & Walk In Faith…

by 4 Comments

 In life it is normal due to our sinful nature to become weak in the flesh and have doubts in what we physically see. Our worries and doubts don’t come from God, but from Satan in wanting to hold us back from the blessing or blessings that the Lord has placed in front of us. Throughout the entire Holy Bible we are taught  of many faithful individuals who had doubts like Moses, Sara, Abraham, Gideon, Zechariah, and even the Israelites. But through their faith in God they believed in Him to bring them through and they did not become stuck in their circumstances which they had to face.

 When you believe in your heart that the Lord can give you what you need then learn to trust in Him to deliver you to the other side. For it is when we fall to the flesh in being consumed within our issues that we can become unproductive in what we have to do. We all have a purpose and a specific talent which has been given by God and it is our job to align our hearts and use our talents to serve Him the best we know how.

 As we go through life it is not our job to worry about how something will come together. It is our job to do the work and allow the Lord to supply our needs in His timing and not in ours. Never force something or feel pressured, but always follow what you know is right by God within your heart and do the work it takes to get the job done. It is normal in this life to have doubts , but don’t allow your doubts to cause you to miss something in God’s glory! Always believe and trust in the Lord to give you the wisdom and strength in the spirit to help you succeed.

  It is when we take steps on our own without trusting in God that we are destined to fall. No matter what you are facing or going through learn to look up and never look down! As Solomon said in Proverbs 3:6  Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take…amen

Thank God For The USA…

by Leave a Comment

 I thank God today for giving us life and the freedom which we still have here in America today. Did you know that 52 of the 55 signers of The Declaration of Independence were deeply committed Christians? The other  three all believed in the Holy Bible as the divine truth, the God of scripture, and His personal intervention. It was also the same congress that formed the American Bible Society and immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence , the Continental Congress voted to purchase and import 20,000 copies of scripture for the people of this nation.

 Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote on the front of his Holy Bible,” I am a Christian, that is to say a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our Creator and, I hope, to the pure doctrine of Jesus also.”

 Here is a little more history for this day of Thanksgiving of our first Court Justice here in the United States of America, John Jay. He stated,” That when we select our national leaders, if we are to preserve our Nation, we must select Christians. Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian Nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”

 There is no doubt of our Christian heritage here in America with how our ancestors truly demonstrated the meaning of Matthew 16 when they left Great Britain to form this beautiful nation and we all need to come together again under God for our children’s future. I praise God today for His “Amazing Grace” in giving us such a beautiful place to live and having the freedom to worship our savior Jesus Christ. May God bless you and your family today and let’s join together in praying for God’s mercy and direction for our country’s future … amen

The Blessings At Your Feet

by Leave a Comment

 So many times in life we miss something of God because we don’t let go of our own issues to see the blessings which are right before us.  In every aspect of life whether good or bad there are always blessings when we learn to look for the positives instead of the negatives.

 I challenge you today an every other day to recognize what God has given you, and don’t allow Satan to rob you of what you know in your heart. For everyday is a gift and we are to add something positive  for our children’s future…amen

Be A Doer Not Just A Hearer…

by Leave a Comment

 Good morning,

 I greet you in the name of the Lord and our savior Jesus Christ. This morning I would like to share with you something a little different than before in a brief testimony in how my life has changed. Over the years I heard the Word of God spoken and even played the roll of calling myself a Christian when I (thought) that I knew Jesus when I really did not understand His purpose in life.

 It is very easy to call ourselves a Christian to fit into the community because this is what we must do to be accepted in our society that we live in, or to call ourselves a Christain when we don’t want to listen to someone trying to tell us about God because we don’t want to hear how we are accountable for our actions. There was a time that I played church on one side, but something totally different on the other. In this recognition of my previous life I now see how to properly believe because it is not about trying to walk on water , but it’s how we walk on land.

 I just want to tell you today how I praise God for sending His Son Jesus Christ to show us the way back home!!! I was so lost but now I am found!!! Jesus has delivered me from all my hurt and all my shame. The beautiful thing about God our Father in Heaven is that He loves us each of us so much that He never gives up on us even when we are deep in the darkness and not properly living in the light which is given through Jesus Christ. I say all of this to you this morning in hopes that you will praise God with me, for as I write these words in God’s great mercy I have tears of praise in giving God all glory from delivering me from my pain…

 Never give up or lose hope on the love that you seek even when life seems so dark and bleek. Because all you have to do is listen to that gentle whisper in your heart in allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you back home. What is home some may ask, and I would like to tell you what home is to me now that I have been set free,” Home is a place of security and strength in thy Father’s arms and filled with motherly love that is given through Jesus Christ in always being their even when we fall. Home is also a place we share meals together and laugh with one another in just being who we are instead of acting like something that we are not.”

 Life is a journey that we are to learn from and to teach our children how to carry on even when we are gone. If there is anything that I can ever say to you, I pray that you praise God with me and join together in being a doer and not just a hearer. God is real and Jesus is the Son, and I want you to remember that our walk and even our talk does matter in everything we do. So with all of this being said this morning, I challenge you today and every other day to make a positive difference and never lose hope in the darkness of this world  because when we learn to trust in God all things work together for the good…amen

A Brother In Christ & Servant To The Lord,

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…
