Life Is Living Art

October 1, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 Life is a beautiful thing once we surrender and learn who is truly in control. For in the hand of the Lord there is shaping and molding that will correct us when we get out of line and then once we learn how to act within the hands of the true artist then there is a peace that can’t be explained.

 So many times in life we spin out of control because we neglect the hands of thy Father in Heaven above. But when we step back in, we can see how His hands are as gentle as a dove.

 Each individual carries his or her own living art and it is our purpose to work together as one while respecting each person for who they are  under God. This objective has never changed from the very start, and it is vital that we teach our children this life lesson before it is our time to part.

It is my prayer that every individual under God realizes how special they are and that all things are possible within the hands of the true artist in life that is being painted through the love of Jesus Christ…amen

Real Change In Life

September 30, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in life to say we are going to change or fix a problem but the question is, “Do our actions follow our words?”  There is only one way to change or correct a problem and that is to reach the roots at the bottom and then work our way back up to the top! If we only work on the top then the change is only superficial because it will only last so long before the roots on the inside will overcome that which is on the outside.

 Sometimes in life we have to be on the bottom to even see our way back up to the top. Once we are on the bottom we study our roots and our surroundings in order to repair and build like never before in seeing not only where we went wrong but how to help others along the way… 

  There is only one way to examine our roots and that is with the light of Jesus Christ that exposes our wrongs to make them right. The foundation which we stand is not ours but our Creators’ in Heaven above. Once we learn our position in who gives and takes away it is amazing at the strength we gain once we learn to stand again with God guiding the way.

 We can speak change all day long, but if we do not do the work it takes in reaching the roots then prepare for the change to only last so long before the fall. I challenge you today and every other day to make positive change that will in turn help others in life throug hthe love of Jesus Christ…amen

How To Listen For God…

September 23, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

When you really stop to listen what do you hear?

Can you feel the presence of God in knowing that he is near?

It is amazing at the peace we gain when we stop to listen and hear the music of God gently playing on our hearts from the moment we start.
 

 The Lord is with us and all around. But far too often we forget how to listen in knowing how to hear the Word through the True Kings Crown.

 Soft music that is played on our hearts is like rain drops from the angels in Heaven dropping like tears to the ground in barely making a sound.

 So often we want everything now but when we really listen to that gentle voice that is whispering on our hearts we can feel the hand of God in knowing that we are no longer bound.
 

 The Lords hand is so gentle and faint that His love travels through us in knowing that we are His saints.
 

 Fill me Lord with you presence and touch those that are willing to listen because there is nothing better than being in your arms when we learn to listen in making our lives glisten…Amen

True Leadership And Delegation

September 12, 2009 by admin 1 Comment

Have you ever really stood back and thought about the roll in leadership and how to advance within it?

 So often we see individuals that reach new positions in leadership but they forget how to train others to one day fill their position.

 True leadership is not something we should try and hang on to. For there is nothing more gratifying than training someone else for the position to one day receive some rest and possibly watch them do a better job in the future.

 When we study history we can find that every true leader that served the people did not seek their position and some even ran from their calling.  Also in history it is easy to see those that raised themselves up and eventually fell because they did not keep God in front while serving others along the way. 
 
 By majority our society has forgotten how to look for leaders and has fallen to grabbing hold of whatever can fill the position out of desperation instead of allowing God to raise our leaders among men that follow His will.
 
 You can see this desperation from politics, to Wall Street, to major corporations, and the list goes on and on even from many of our churches today. Many have fallen to putting their hope in man rather than in God in who gives and takes away. It is time that we come together as one and put God back in front of our lives for the sake of our children of tomorrow.
 
 The longer we avoid this truth then the further we are going to fall! Real Change is going to come and the question is what are we going to have to go through before we get there? God is our refuge and our provider for everything we need in life.

 It is very easy in life when we are struggling to try and hang on to anything that will possibly keep us a float. But there comes a time that we must stop to truly evaluate our circumstances and look beyond the immediate to see the future…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…
