God Gives Us Clarity & Vision

September 11, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 The further that we drift away from God the more distorted our vision becomes. This drift often starts with a small step in the wrong direction into the darkness of the world. There is an interesting discovery in this understanding of the Truth and that is,”As one walks from the darkness towards the light they tend to see even more but as one that walks from the light into the darkness they tend to lose sight to the point that they can not even see themselves.”

 God gives us clarity and vision in the light of Jesus Christ to see through the darkness of this world to reach the other side. Without the love of Jesus in our hearts and soul we often follow the principles of God but forget how we are to love each other unconditionally as He loves us. When we lack the understanding in the Word of God of how to recognize the darkness it is very easy to allow ourselves to fall into the spiritual traps of Satan that are in place to hold us back. 

 There are two distinct parts that we should recognize between the purity of the light and the confusion in the darkness. As one travels from the darkness to the light it is important to recognize that in this physical life there will always be obstructions trying to block the Way. In these obstructions we should look at them as curve balls or as temporary detours because in this walk towards the light sometimes we have to to take a step back in order to learn how to move forward. The object in the curve balls that we see is to learn the spirit of the pitch in order to bring ourselves back home. For when we learn how to recognize the spirit that we are dealing with is when we are learning the art of the game. 

 It is so easy in our human nature to allow our eyes to only see the the objects or hurdles that we have before us but in the vision that God gives we are to always seek the light to help us overcome the darkness.  When we learn to walk with Jesus our vision lifts from this temporary world to see the spiritual test that we have before us in order to learn how to grow in our faith and how to maintain the coarse that God provides. We are to never lose hope no matter how dark things may seem and it is through our faith that God will always carry us through…amen

 The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good your whole body will be full of light. Matthew 6:22

God Is To Be The Governor Of Our Lives

September 10, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever noticed how the human race tries to create something that they can not? There are scientist trying to create life and they can’t even properly explain our birth. There have been leaders that tried to create specific atmospheres like Hitler, Sodom and others who restricted the people because they could not properly govern the people. There have been churches that developed so many rules that they have quenched the Spirit of God due to their own lack of understanding of how to trust in God rather than in man. 

 It is vital that we recognize the difference between a controlling atmosphere and the climate of God that is governed with self discipline to maintain the freedom that we have been given. Over the years of individuals getting away from the Truth in the Holy Bible and not teaching the spiritual deception of Satan man has developed man made rules to follow due to the less work that is required to properly teach what needs to be taught in the Word of God.

 When we do not teach our children how to maintain their freedom through the Word of God and how to seek God for the guidance in the choices that they have to make then we are only setting them up to be devoured by Satan in their unbridled emotions that will cause them many heartaches and pains. In the freedom of God we learn to appreciate His command to maintain what we have been given and to grow stronger for our children’s future. For when we learn to truly love one another is when we learn to appreciate what it takes to maintain the love that we have…amen

 If we do not know how to stand on the principles of God then all we will ever do is continue to fall…

Search For The Climate Of God

September 9, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever noticed how we tend to get stuck in a season and when the ripple of change comes our way we tend to miss what God has instore. It is in our human nature to search for that fixed climate because we tend to adapt to the environment that we are in and we often lean on the security of what we think that we know.

 This flaw in our human nature which derives from sin is exactly what caused many of the Israelites to miss the Messiah when He came. The Word of God teaches us to always be alert because we never know where God will be working next and so many times we allow ourselves to get stuck in what we see that we forget what God teaches us in how to believe.

 Change is a beautiful thing that is taking place all around us and when we begin to look for God in the seasons of change is when He will begin to motivate our lives to appreciate the seasons to come…amen

Seasons Come & Seasons Go

September 8, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 God gives us everything for a season to learn and to help prepare us for our future. Sometimes we stay in a season that seems like it will never change and these are times that we are to hold on because God will send us some relief along the way. During these seasons that seem to go on forever it is wise to be alert to those that are walking by.

 For sometimes when we feel stuck is when God has us in a certain place for a certain time to grow and to help someone else along the Way. The object in this life is to learn how to allow God to move us forward and to recognize when He wants us to sit still. God gives us our purpose when we learn to follow His desires rather than our own.

 For there is peace in each season when we learn how to appreciate the time that we are given and how to recognize the changes that are to come…amen

The Wheel Of Life In God’s Will

September 6, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 There is a wheel to life that is God’s will and that is for us to forgive one another in order for our own sins to be forgiven. Jesus tells us in Mark 11 that when we pray to first forgive anyone that we may be holding a grudge against, so that our Father in Heaven will forgive ours as well. What many people do not understand is when we allow a grudge to build in our lives that they affect not only our relationship with God but they also have negative affects on our health and with others.

 Have you ever considered that God is the one that Created the wheel of life and how through the love of Jesus is what carries us forward? If you were to picture your life today as a wheel would you see flat spots? How about knots of unforgiveness? Are you carrying some things that maybe you need to let go of? How is the pressure in your wheel? Are you filled with the fruit of the spirit or does Satan have you so worked up that you feel as if you are going to explode?   

 We all pick up trash from time to time as we travel down the road of life but the object is to keep our wheel in balance and filled with the love of Jesus Christ so we can reach our eternal destination.  It is imperative to understand that spiritually Satan wants us to harbor things because he knows how this can harden our hearts to the point that we destroy what we have around us. I challenge you today if there is someone that you have been holding a grudge against to let them know that you forgive them and allow God to move you forward…amen

 Sometimes we have to let the air out in love in order for God to fill us back up again to move forward…

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…
