Our God Is A Mountain Mover…

October 12, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever noticed the principals behind mountain climbing and asked God to teach you the spiritual message behind the climb? This may seem out there to some of you but if you will truly listen to the message I believe you will see the Way. In the book of Ezekiel we learn that the spirit is in everything but far too often we get stuck missing the spiritual due to only looking upon the physical.

Take a professional mountain climber for instance and compare this activity to our daily task in life. For a mountain climber does not climb mountains everyday. He or she studies which mountains to climb and then there is a preparation period before they step foot on the mountain. There are different mountains for different climbers for every mountain serves its own purpose. This does not mean that any mountain climber is any better than the next because they all have something to share from their journey. For there is a purpose for the valley just as well for the mountains we climb.

Learning how to walk in life should be a steady climb towards the kingdom of God. There are times for the plateau and times for the down hill journey and within these times of the ups and downs God teaches us along the Way. It is when we come to that understanding that God is with us and that He is directing our steps that we discover a whole new excitement in life as we discover that our purpose is no longer our own.

I challenge you today to seek God for your direction and have no fear of any mountains you may see. For our God is much greater than he that is in the world and all things are possible through Jesus Christ who caries us forward. For our God is a mountain mover as we simply learn to trust and obey…

A Nurtured & Balanced Life…

July 27, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

As a farmer who raises a crop he first must prepare the soil to receive the seed. Once the seed is planted the work is not over for the farmer and in actuality the work has just begun. There is a period before the seed rises into the plant that is visible to the eye that it must grow roots before it can reach up to the sky. For a plant is only as strong as its roots and without them being firmly fastened and reaching to the water source then the plant will be stunted in growth.

As the seeds begin to rise before the harvest the farmer has a job to protect the plants and to nourish his crop. When a farmer neglects the work and his responsibility in his job then this opens the doors for his crop to be overtaken by the weeds. The weeds can have a stronghold if the farmer waits to address and if the weeds are allowed to grow for too long not only will they drain the life in the crop before the harvest but the farmer might have to simply plow up the field to start all over again.

We can relate our lives to the farmer and the responsibilities that we have been given to uphold God’s Word in our lives, homes, churches and careers. Within this responsibility as the farmer it is wise to pay attention to the crop that we have been given and for the plant that we are within the overall Kingdom of God. For a crop that is well balanced is a crop that will produce future seeds…

No Looking Back…

July 25, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Once we make a decision to move forward there is no looking back unless it is in praise from where God has brought us from. Like a farmer who plants a crop he first must recognize the season before he sets the plow to the ground. It would be wise of the farmer to be ready and his tools to be sharp for the day in the season to begin. During the season the farmer doesn’t question the process for he simply follows the steps and then trust in God for the harvest that is sure to come.

There is nothing like planting seed in the Kingdom of God and actually witnessing something develop before our very eyes. Like a farmer sometimes there is a hit and a miss due to the drought but when he learns to tap the well to irrigate the crops is when the plants will strive while the others without water simply die. It is wise of the farmer to pay close attention to his crop to insure the nutrients that to be fed and to insure that no weeds begin to hinder the harvest.

Making Godly decisions is wise to understand whether in our homes, in the church or in our careers. For this message can apply to every individual as the farmer for once we put the plow to the ground in a commitment under God there is no looking back as we trust in the Lord to help us reach the other side. What good is a farmer if he was to quit just before the rain or simply because of the work that was before him?

Jesus said in Luke 9,”No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back is fit for the Kingdom of God.”

Maturing With God…

July 11, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 In Matthew 13 Jesus tells us a parrable about the mustard seed. He is describing the Kingdom of God and how it starts out within each of us to the smallest degree. As we water the seed of God that is within us with the Living Water of Gods Word this allows the seed to take roots and to begin to grow. Over time the seed will begin to grow into a tree within us that others will begin to see and discover a peace that only comes when we learn to stand with God. 

 The awesome part about this parrable that Jesus gave is that this seed of God never stops growing. For a tree that is planted with God and receives its nutrients from the true source is a tree that is healthy and strong while planting seeds for others to carry on….

How To Sow Seeds…

April 1, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Learning to sow seeds is very important not only in the garden but in the Kingdom. Way too many times we get in a hurry without learning how to plant. Think about it! Each individual seed is a plant by itself. This individual plant is to produce fruit for the future harvest. Where many farmers and Christians alike miss the boat is in too many plants growing in one spot and not taking the time to properly nourish the young. 

 For when more than one plant is sharing the same pot, if they are not careful to work together they could stunt the overall growth affecting the harvest. The object in planting seed is becoming a wise farmer that learns how to not waste what he plants. A key part in gardening is learning how to place the plants in position to reach their full potential. For what good is a fruit tree if it never learns how to bear fruit? Or, what good is a farmer without patience?

 The Lord teaches us not to plant two different seeds in one field because one can take from the other. When you really seek God for this wisdom you can learn alot about how to plant in love…Make Your Seeds Count and Not Fall Dorment!!!  

 May His Amazing Love Touch You As He Has Touched Me… Amazing Love

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…
