Things Are Not Always What They Seem

October 4, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 So many times we allow ourselves to be robbed of the blessings of God because we allow something that we think that we see to separate us from what we believe. It is in our human nature to make assumptions and look only upon the issue at hand but when we learn how to look beyond our circumstances is when God will show us something else to help us reach the other side. 

 We often we never make it to the other side because we jump ship when the waves get rough but when we learn how to stick together for what is in the heart then God will often give us a new start. It is during these times of the waves that we face that God will reveal to us the things that we might need to replace and during these times we often find our true friends that will last a lifetime….amen

Are You Headed For A Dead End?

October 1, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 One of the most awesome lessons that Jesus Christ ever taught us is how to look beyond what we see to help us insure the steps that we take. So many times we jump in our emotions because we think this is the way that we are to go and then we find out when the road comes to an end that this road was not the one to be traveled. 

  As we mature in Christ and in studying God’s Word we learn that life is much simpler than what we tend to make it out to be. The reason that life becomes so  complicated is because we fail to allow God to direct our steps and we often take roads that we should not have traveled. The awesome part about taking roads with dead ends is when we discover the wrong turns that we have made before we fall off of the Edge of the cliff. 

 Do you feel as if your life is too complicated? Do you feel that your problems are too big to resolve? The reason we often complicate things is because we try to raise ourselves into some intellect that we are not. People tend to be offended when they don’t receive an intellectual answer because they simply don’t want to feel foolish. How sad is this that we allow ourselves to be ignorant and miss the simple solutions that we have right before us? All we have to do is learn how to face our issues in the belief that Jesus will take us to the other side and learn how to balance on the waves in the sea while doing the work that it takes to reach our goals. 

 This same lesson of simple solutions was taught through Elijah and fulfilled in the same with Jesus Christ. I challenge you today to not allow Satan to spiritually keep you in bondage and think that your problems are too big when they are really pretty simple. All we have to do is learn how to lay down our burdens at the foot of the cross and learn to allow God to give us the strength we need to make the decisions that need to be made.  

Just because we come to the end of one road does not mean that we are to give up but learn how to turn around in the love of Jesus and allow God to show us the road that we are to travel…

Stand With Jesus Or Fall With Satan

September 30, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Throughout the Holy Bible the Lord teaches us to stand strong in faith and to be to obedient to God’s Word. No where does it teach us to be complacent and allow things into our lives or into our homes that are not right by God due to the destruction that is destined to follow. When we allow what is simply wrong to take place over what is right our lives fall into a spiritual bondage of Satan that only takes us deeper away from the Truth until we learn how to speak what we know in our hearts.

 True love does not always give us everything we want because in our human nature we often seek things that we do not need. For instance do you give your children everything they ask or do you teach them how to have patience and earn their rewards? One of the hardest things to learn is the balance that is required in true love due to the self discipline that is a must and the teaching that is required in time to maintain what we have received.

 At no point in the walk of Jesus did he allow the world or Satan to influence His decisions or redirect the coarse in His life. Do you know the coarse in your life? Has it been redirected by something in this world instead of following what you know in your heart? Has Satan spiritually enticed you to chase the world instead of staying on coarse with God? Has the trap of the world placed you in the bondage of debt because of the lack of being obedient in the Word of God?

 I am here to tell you that there is Hope no matter the coarse that you are on. The first step of action is first recognizing where we are to see where we need to be headed and then one step at a time God will bring us back home…Amen

Pray Before You Act…

September 29, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 There is something very important for us to recognize in the difference between acting in our emotions and being led in the Spirit. Our emotions are easily deceived when we do not know how to recognize the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Satan. Spiritually Satan preys in our emotions and often causes us to act in ways that we later regret. This is why it is so important for us to study the Word of God to receive the discernment in the spirits to see beyond our current emotions and to learn how to place our trust in God instead of in man.

 This lesson of our human nature was taught in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ with the crowd that murdered our Lord and Savior. They fell to acting in their emotions without trusting in God to work it all out. The same thing happens in our life today of jumping to conclusions without seeking the council of God to guide us in our trials in life. Have you ever acted in your emotions and later regretted something you may have said or that you may have done? I challenge you today to analyze your emotions before you act to insure that you later won’t be hanging from a tree due to the decisions which you make…amen

Are You Gambling At The Cross?

September 28, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 On the day that Jesus Christ was hanging on the cross for our sins and to provide the Way for us to return home there were men at the foot of the cross throwing dice and gambling as if this life had no meaning. They had no regard nor respect for the life of Jesus in fact they mocked Him with accusations and words.

 What is the difference between us today in gambling our daily lives with no meaning nor purpose as these soldiers were doing at the foot of the cross? Are we not showing the same disrespect to Jesus for what He did for us when we lie, cheat, gossip, and suppress the poor? What is the difference between these soldiers at the foot of the cross in making false accusations about others when we do not know the Truth? What is the difference in these soldiers at the foot of the cross than us when we put our own desires in front of others? 

 This is what is laying heavily on my heart; “Do we need another crucifixion of Jesus Christ or was the first enough?” Everytime we mistreat others and only think of ourselves we might as well be gambling with the soldiers at the foot of the cross. I challenge you today to not gamble your life away at the foot of the cross and learn how to serve others in order to serve God instead of driving in the nails on the cross..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…
