Grab Hold Of The Power Of God

by 1 Comment

 In today’s society many have fallen weak in faith like Gideon in the book of Judges and forgotten the power which our Father in Heaven has given to each of us to overcome our issues in life. God has given each one of us the power in the Holy Spirit to overcome whatever trial that we may face but we must learn how to trust and strengthen our faith to insure a safe landing. We all have to face things in life  that we do not understand but when these times may occur it is not for us to sit around and drown in our pity. We should be seeking God for what it is that He wants in our life rather than what we would prefer and this is where many struggles come our way because we seek our desires instead of what God wants in our life.

 Life is filled with challenges that help build us wiser and stronger for our future. It is what we do in these times that sets an example to others and teaches our children how to trust God rather than losing hope in our circumstances. As Gideon, the Lord wants us to learn where the true power comes from because He knows what will happen when we think that we have accomplished something on our own. I challenge you today to strengthen your faith and learn to seek the power of God that dwells within you to overcome anything that may be holding you back from sharing the love that you carry…amen

God Confirms His Word In Nature

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever noticed geese flying in the air? They fly in a formation to decrease the wind resistance to the ones that follow and this allows the other geese to maintain their strength for when they move to the front. The beautiful part of what they understand better than we is how they rotate the ones in the lead. When one gets tired he steps to the back and allows another to step to the front while never losing their direction within the flock. Not one of the geese fight for their position nor do they become jealous of the one in the lead. They just learn how to work together to reach their destination.

 God guides us in the Holy Spirit and it is our job to learn how to fly together to reach our destination. But where we differ from the geese is how often we allow the distractions in the world to throw us off coarse and how we tend to fight for our position instead of allowing God to move us from one place to the next. The object in this life is to learn how to listen and then Jesus will teach us how to follow. 

 Another Beautiful part of geese is how they never leave their mate. Once in love always in love to the end…amen

How To Fly Your Plane

by Leave a Comment

 Love suffers when we don’t speak the truth, and allows Satan to suppress the love that we carry. It is in our human nature of a loving individual to not want to hurt someone else’s feelings but when we don’t share with others what we know in our hearts to be true then we are only allowing Satan to rob us of the seeds that need to be planted. Not only are we allowing Satan to supress us but we are also allowing Satan to rob the other party of the nutrients that helps us to mature. 

 The object in speaking the truth is learning how to recognize the timing of when to approach and how to deliver the message in love so that it is received. For if we try to land too soon the plane or the passengers may not be ready for the impact and if we wait too long we could up short in the landing. It is very easy in our human nature to be misled by Satan in our emotions and act before we think and this often causes turbulence in the air.

 To insure a safe landing we first must know the plane that we are on and have faith in those that are not only flying it but having faith in those that built it.  Second, we must know that it has been properly maintained to insure that it will reach our destination. Because what good is a plane if it falls apart in the first storm that it encounters or if the ones that are in charge don’t know how to react when the winds may take them off coarse?

 If the pilot does not consider the passengers in the landing can you see how some could hit the floor when they might be not be prepared for the sudden jolt. This same aproach is required when we learn to share the truth with those that we love. I challenge you today to study the runway before you try to land and if it takes years to make your approach just commit yourself in your flight and make sure that you maintain your fuel in the Word of God to insure that it is delivered in the love of Jesus Christ . Another important part of flying your plane is to always be alert for that timing of God to land your message.

 For if the timing is not right then learn to make another approach and be prepared for the opportunity to land…

Seek God For Courage & Strength

by Leave a Comment

 God gives us courage and boldness to speak the Truth and it is up to us to recognize the proper timing to act in love rather than acting out in our emotions. This is one of the most difficult stages of spiritual development in waiting on God for the right timing and not allowing the people or our circumstances to drive our actions.  Moses would confirm this message if he was here today because after 40 years of leading the people and putting up with all their lack of obedience he even acted out in his emotions when he struck the rock instead of obeying God and speaking to the rock.

 No matter who we are we all face confrontation from time to time but it is vital to recall God’s Word in these times to insure that we don’t do more harm than we do good. A kind word calms an evil spirit and God will give us the courage to stand for what is right. Evil can only stand so long before it will fall because the love of Jesus will conquer all…amen

 It is very wise to not tell what you know until God prepares the people to listen.

It’s All About God’s Timing…

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever held out from speaking the truth while doing everything you can to hold on in the love which you know in your heart? Love suffers when we don’t speak the truth, and allows Satan to suppress the love that we carry.

 It is in our human nature of a loving individual to not want to hurt someone else’s feelings but when we don’t share with others what we know in our hearts to be true then we are only allowing Satan to rob us of the seeds that need to be planted.

 The object in speaking the truth is learning how to recognize the timing of when to plant and how to deliver the message so that it is received. For if we plant too soon the ground may not be fertile and if we plant too late someone could come up short in the harvest.

 God prepares our hearts to receive His instruction in His timing and not in our own. Many individuals have forgotten the art of planting and the importance of spreading the nutrients in the Word of God in a loving way to help keep the weeds from taking over. A seed that is delicately placed then covered with love and then nurtured to maturity will be the most productive in life.

 As a plant matures, if the environment was always perfect how would it know how to stand in the storms of this fallen world? We all get blown around from time to time but the object is to stay planted and learn how to rely on the roots to keep us intact. This is why it so vital that we teach our children the Word of God and then help them develop their character in love with principles that will help them stand in the future.  For nothing in this world is perfect no matter how hard we try to create because we must remember that we are not the Creator.

 As a flower spreads its pollen in the wind it is never released until the time is right nor ever forced upon another flower so that it is properly received. For someone to discover the love that we carry they must witness it in our walk and this will plant the seed of Jesus in teaching others how to believe. 

 Love is never directed but comes in our freewill when we learn how to give and receive…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…
