Strive In Love…

December 14, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in our human character to become lazy and only do what it takes to get by. But since when are Christians to drift through life and not strive to make something better in everyday that we are given? Satan wants us to fall weak and complacent in our homes, in our work, in our relationships, and especially in the church to the point that we lose that fire in our first love that keeps us from moving forward. 

 Love is not something we are to only share with our spouse or our children. Love is something that should be reflected with everyone we meet and in everything we do. When we learn to work for God instead of ourselves it is truly amazing at the joy we will find. Every time you get ready to do something ask yourself,” Am I doing this for what I will get out of this, or am I doing this for the glory of God?”

 When we quit looking at what we we will temporarily gain and learn to focus on the eternal rewards in Heaven above then we will begin to discover our purpose in life through Jesus Christ. All it takes is that first step out of the darkness into the light that you will begin to see like never before. I challenge  you today and every other day to do the work it takes to keep your love alive and do the best you can in everything you do…amen

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

Standing With Jesus…

September 25, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

It is so easy in life to stand in the crowd and conform to their ways but the real question is, do you know how to stand on your own under God without falling to the people or leaning upon someone else to get you through?

 So many times we go with the flow because we don’t want to go through the work it takes to stand for what is right by God and not right by man. Could you imagine what the crowd felt after they came off of that spiritual misguidance in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ? We all know what happened to Judas in his guilt and the fact of the matter is this,” Until we learn to speak the truth in love and stand our ground Satan is going to continue to misguide the people and our children are going to suffer for our tolerance in not knowing how to properly follow the Word of God.”

 There comes a point in life that every individual must learn how to lean on the Lord and stand firmly with Him as one in the love of Jesus Christ, for in the end there is only one way and no one other than Jesus can bring you through.

God On The American Dollar

September 1, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 There is a distinct reason our founding fathers of The United States of America placed these words “In God We Trust” on the American dollar.  They placed God on our currency because they knew our downfalls in history of what happens when we remove God from our focus by placing money or material things in front of our Creator.

  If America comes to a point of not holding ourselves accountable to God then who do we hold ourselves accountable to and what purpose is there in life? For with God there is direction and purpose in serving one another to reach higher levels in life  and when we neglect this Truth then life only becomes a selfish circle that will spiral out of control.

 We are to learn from history and when we neglect these facts then it is only a matter of time before the collapse. This message is taught over and over in the Holy Bible and when you study the fall of the Roman Empire you will see the parallel to this Truth. This doesn’t only apply to nations but it also applies to every individual in life, for with God we stand and without Him we fall.

 It is my sincere prayer that America returns to God with repentant hearts from where we have drifted in this dark world and that every individual in life sees the purpose in Jesus Christ. I pray that we learn to respect each other no matter our belief and that we learn to work together as one to restore what has been lost in America by giving a message of hope back to the people for our children’s future… Amen

 Sincerely,

James Harrison

A Good Shepherd Does Not Limit His Flock

June 9, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

A good shepherd does not limit his flock to only one field due to concerns of losing his herd. He learns to respect each individual for who they are under God while teaching them how to grow to their full potential . As they mature he watches from a distance as the flock learns to live in the freedom of the spirit by understanding the discipline in the Word of God to  live a full life led by God without being restricted by man.  He is not to let one in his flock wander off without looking for them to show them the way back home while searching for others that may be lost from other herds in the wilderness of this world.  He does not force them to return or condemn them when they may get lost.  But he welcomes them with open arms full of love as the others rejoice when another rejoins the flock in the field of true fellowship.

 When a shepherd limits his flock to one field without moving them from one field to the next then the field which they are stuck in becomes restricted and even loses nutrients over time. In restricting the flock it causes some to jump fence, others to wander off, and even some to starve by not not learning how to live and move in this fallen world.  There is great joy when we learn to graze and respect our position under God but even more so when we hear that call of the shepherd to come home…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…
