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

The Whisper of God…

October 6, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

To look for God in only something big like rallies, churches, conferences, or highly visible leaders may be to miss Him because He is often found gently whispering in the quietness of a humbled heart. Are you listening for God? Do you even recall how to listen and apply the Word? There is a difference in what we experience in the Spirit and the direction we receive in the Word. Often we move when we feel the spirit but it is imperative to apply the Word of God to insure the right spirit in the overall direction.

Step back from the noise and activity of your busy life and listen humbly and quietly for guidance because the Lord is whispering to our hearts with direction for our future. It often comes from where and when you least expect it. But first we must be willing to truly listen…

The Lord says in Psalm 46 ” Be still and know that I am God!”

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…

Be Alert & Trust God…

October 4, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

So many times in life when we ask God for something we often fail to recognize what He puts right before us. Throughout the Word of God the Lord teaches us to be alert to all things but far too often we miss very things of God because He often shows up in places that we least expect.

It is in our nature to ask for immediate results and then overlook how God gives us just enough to get us through. If we were to receive everything that we asked for how would we know how to trust and appreciate what God has given? When we ask God to help us, be alert for the parting of the seas but learn to appreciate the manna that always supplies our needs.

It is how we learn to walk in life and serve with what we have been given that God will bless us with something more. I challenge you today and every other day to recognize what God has put right before you rather than wondering about something and possibly missing the very blessing which you could receive. ..amen

Stay In Tune With God….

September 30, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

The Lord plainly tells us how to recognize a false prophet or someone that claims to be a child of God by the fruit they bare. If there is no fruit then they are illegitimate children without the roots which keep them intact to feed the people. Many people talk the talk but there is a major difference in someone who walks the walk and those that raise themselves up into a position that is to be given by God.

God spoke to Moses and then instructed him to speak to Aaron in order to teach us how to recognize the Word of God that speaks through the leaders He raises up. Since the vale has been torn God now speaks in many ways that we often miss simply because we don’t know His Word. For how can we recognize the Word if we don’t know the Word and how can we see something if we don’t know what we are looking for? I urge you to to step out of the world in order to listen for the Truth. The longer we sleep the more we miss and the further we fall the harder the hit. If you recall the time frame of Eli and Samuel the lamp was dim without vision because the people had drifted away from God… May I urge you to hear the call and to recognize the signs for our children’s future….Enjoy this video by Lee Greenwood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q65KZIqay4E and may it inspire you to STAND UP in the Truth of God…

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…
