The Climb…

October 10, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

How can we expect to find the Way if we can’t see the Way? For walking in faith requires keeping our eyes upon the goal with our hearts in tune with God. The Way we walk and talk should reflect the love of Jesus as we travel this journey in life and along the Way we are to help others in our path that have lost their Way. Sometimes those in our path might not be lost but they are there for a purpose to encourage and help us along the Way.

The journey might seem long at times but as we endure the race there are no words to describe what we begin to see as we turn that corner with in whom we believe. For as we come to the end of one path is when we can see another and within every path the road it is a steady climb on the mountain of God. As we climb this mountain it is wise to know our steps and to always reflect upon the path in order to stay in tune. For it is when we neglect where God has brought us from and especially who got us there that we will lose our step on the mountain of God causing us to fall to the valley in order to start all over again.

There are disciplined skills involved to climb the mountain of God guiding every step of the Way. If you were to look at your life today where would you see yourself on the mountain of God or would you find yourself lost in the wilderness looking for the Way? Would you be one of those at the foot of the mountain yelling discouragement to those in the climb or would you be encouraging along the Way? Enjoy this song this morning by Miley Cyrus titled The Climb http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG2zyeVRcbs and may God give you clarity in your climb as He shows you the Way….

Life Is A Journey…

October 7, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Life is a journey that can be compared to an explorer in a dark cave. When we are born this takes place in a cavern, and as we mature there comes a point that we must begin to walk in the darkness of this world. Sometimes our journey will bring laughter, and sometimes our journeys can bring pains. But all that really matters is that we continue to be faithful in our walk while always seeking the light of Jesus Christ in the darkness of this world to keep the enemy from driving us insane.

Sometimes in our journey we are able to walk and other times we might have to crawl. But all that really matters is that we always listen to hear  God’s call. There will be people that will try to misguide us and there will be others who simply just want to hold us back. But there comes a point that we must learn to follow God instead of man and then He will deliver us from the curses on this land.

There will be times in our journey when we may barely squeeze through and other times that we may even want to give up when we feel the load is too much to bear. This is where we must learn to never quit no matter how tight things may be because the Lord can lift the load and even set us free.

There will be times when we are trying to climb out of the darkness that we will need help because we all fall weak at times no matter how independent we may think we are. God puts us here to help one another in this darkness to see how we would serve in helping others along the Way but so many times in our journey of the flesh we fall to a selfish mode of survival and become complacent to the point that we forget how to truly climb.

Many of us try to climb on our own at times when we don’t understand God’s purpose in having order and discipline within the body to reach higher levels in this life through the love of Jesus Christ. This is why it is vital to know God’s Word which is our foundation because if we don’t know where we stand then it is easy to fall.

There must be a time that we learn how to respect our differences and learn to work together rather than against one another. We are all here to help uplift each other whether we are on the top or even on the bottom. God allows us to go through different trials in our life to help others along the Way and to help keep our lives in Balance so we will never forget who we truly are. For no person is any different than the next under God and we all serve a vital purpose in God’s kingdom…amen

Godly Decisions Are Vital…

October 5, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

So many times in life we make wrong decisions based on our emotions without properly thinking them through. Then we often allow Satan to cause us to be bitter, depressed, angry, unforgiving or just simply rude.

Throughout the Holy Bible the Lord tries to teach us to trust in Him but far too often when we get away from God is when we make bad decisions that not only affect us but others as well. A good example of this is when God promised Abraham and Sara that they would have a son but they took matters into their own hands instead trusting in God to bring it all together. This bad decision brought strife into the family and gave undeserved hurt to a child that did not ask for what he received.

When we ask God for something it is imperative to recognize that Satan can hear it too. This is where we must learn to be wise and trust in God because if we are not careful what we see on the outside may not be what want on the inside. Satan is very clever and he wants us to lose our focus in life and this is where I challenge you look beyond what you see towards Jesus Christ in whom we believe…

Spiritual Warfare Tactics…

September 29, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

If you were to study spiritual warfare you would find that the art of war is to walk behind the enemy lines and learn the weaknesses of the opponent in order to turn their weaknesses into strengths. As the enemy walks in the camp he or she opens the doors for others of its kind to enter. The object of the enemy is to infiltrate the camp to the point where its opponent gets weak and to those who don’t surrender then the enemy will take them out in order to gain control.

This is what has taken place here in America and if we don’t WAKE UP to this Truth then we better prepare for what is sure to come! God has given us dominion over this earth but without the knowledge of His Word and the discernment between good and evil then we are prey for the spiritual enemy of Satan. Tactfully Satan has slithered into the homes and robbed many fathers of how to be men of God. Then from this the spirit of Satan has slipped into many churches to gain control from the pulpits in order to weaken the people and to cause disunity within the body. This disunity has caused many other denominations to bring further division within the people by causing many to fight for the head position that has been already put into place through Jesus Christ. With all of this and much more this warfare tactic this has allowed Satan to seize control through ungodly leadership which is tearing down the American country.

God gave us this country as He gave the Jews Israel and if we don’t WAKE UP to face the Truth then our days of freedom are numbered before the spiritual enemy of Satan seizes control! If you want change then it first starts with you and then it spreads to your home then to your community and then to the nation. If you were to seriously look within your home who would you find in control? Would it be God or would it be Satan? If you think that you are in control without admitting that God is first then you are only deceiving yourself and giving victory to the enemy….I pray that America WAKES UP to this Truth and begins to recognize where we got off course in order to turn back to God for our children’s future….

Don’t Miss The Boat…

September 28, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever really thought about why Jesus was ridiculed and crucified on the cross? As God sent His Son here to open up our eyes and ears He was here to show us the Way. Jesus was put on the cross not because He was guilty but because He was innocent but the ones who had positions of control did not like the message of freedom and equality that He delivered. This affected their traditions, their positions, their finances and it affected their stature of intellect.

Rather than humbling themselves to receive the Truth they fought against the Way because of where the message was coming from and it did not fit their human expectations. The spirit of Truth belongs to our Father and it can be spoken from even a donkey if the Lord choose. God teaches us this throughout His Holy Word and He sent His only begotten Son to teach us that this temporary life is not about what we see but about learning how to believe.

With this being said the next time someone comes from another direction to give you some advice may I encourage you to listen to the heart to insure that you are not missing something that needs to be heard. Too many times we miss what God has right before us because we have either become deaf, hard hearted, or blind. We are taught in Hebrews 13:8 that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever but if we don’t know how to listen or see then we could be missing the boat…

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…
