Are You In A Box?

by Leave a Comment

 Throughout each day that we are given the Lord will place something in our spirit whether in a good thought for a shared word or in a gentle nudge to move into action. When we learn to act upon the spiritual guidance of God without questioning His Word or allowing our rituals of life to interfere with His direction is when our spirit will come to life due to learning to mature in the love of Jesus Christ.

 The Lord does not live in a box and nor should we!!! When we simply do not do as the Lord directs then our disobedience can develop a spiritual prison around our lives. People walk around everyday in the wilderness complaining, wishing they had more or upset due to someone else finding the Way but when we learn to focus on nothing else but on the direction of God is when we will step out of our spiritual prison to experience life like never before….

Trust In The Lord…

 In Luke 2 :19 we learn how Mary kept things in her heart but thought about them often. She knew what the Lord had shared with her about her Son Jesus and she also knew how Elizabeth spoke of the child that she carried. The awesome part of this lesson is how Mary did not go around boasting about her Son and how she allowed the Lord to reveal the man that He was.

 Learning to keep our mouths shut and allowing God to place us into position is the most secure place we can ever be. This goes against our human nature in many ways but when we learn to wait upon the Lord there is a peace beyond all understanding….Amen

Stand Strong With God…

by Leave a Comment

 Are you planted in the Word of God or do you sway however the winds of the world may blow? Our life can be compared to a tree that is planted in a pot when we are not rooted  to the source that holds us up. Think about it! A tree in a pot can only grow so much due to the restrictions of the vessel and another wise point to capture is how a tree in a pot has to rely on others to feed it because it never taps the eternal food source.

 If you were to look at your life today as a tree, where would you find your roots drawing their nutrients from? Would you find that your tree is resrticted due to the walls of the box that you live in? Or, would you find that your tree is healthy and reaching out daily to the light of Jesus Christ to grow stronger than before? In everyday that we are given we should be striving to increase our root system with the Lord to withstand the elements of this world. For there is nothing like learning how to stand on our own and knowing who holds us up…Amen

Spiritual Confirmations…

by Leave a Comment

 Recognizing who and what is around you in your spirit is a vital part of maturity in Christ. The Lord has given us senses to develop as we mature in His Word and they can help discern between good and evil. There are only two types of spirits one being of light and the other being of darkness but where so many others are lost is in the middle.

 Knowing God’s Word is vital and keeping it in the front of our mind is crucial to help confirm the spiritual steps that we take. The devil is here to kill, steal and destroy and he does this in ways that we often miss because of our focus on the physical instead of walking in the spiritual. Sometimes the devil disquises himself as the angel of light and in these times of uncertainty is when we should wait on God to show us the true colors.

 One of the best confirmations is given in time for when we rush into things without knowing that it was guided by God is when they often fall apart. It is my prayer that in every decision that you make that you will test it to God’s Word to help insure the steps that you take…Amen

God’s Love Covers All…

by Leave a Comment

Where is life without the spirit? For the breath of God is what gives us our life and the spirit that dwells within us is what shows who we are. For where we find life is where we will find God and where we we find stagnant growth or death is where we find the devil. The blood that is in our veins should be like sweet sap that comes from a tree and the leaves should show who we are.

 Our roots should grow wide and deep and the sap that fills our veins should overflow in love. For sap moves slowly and covers everything in its path as God’s love never leaves anyone behind. For there is great joy in the spirit of God and vibrant life as we learn to mature in Christ…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…
