Look Beyond What You See

September 13, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 When you look at something that you have before you do you look at it as an obstacle or do you see it as something that God has put before you to help grow in His Word? So many times we allow our vision to become restricted because we become so fixated on a particular spot that we tend to lose sight of everything else. It is in our human nature to want to throw something away when it does not work according to plan but it is vital that we recall who’s plan we are to follow.

 Where many of us tend to lose sight as we grow older and more impatient is the actual time and delicate touch that is required in the hands of God to be shaped into the vessel that He intends for us to be. Shaping and molding is something that comes in time as we learn the art of God’s Word to help restore something before it is broken. 

 For without the loving hands of God’s children all around us how would you feel if you were broken and all alone? I challenge you if you know someone that is struggling or going through a hard time to take the time to show them the love of Jesus that is in your heart. Sometimes all we need to overcome our trials is to just know that someone truly cares…amen

God Gives Us Clarity & Vision

September 11, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 The further that we drift away from God the more distorted our vision becomes. This drift often starts with a small step in the wrong direction into the darkness of the world. There is an interesting discovery in this understanding of the Truth and that is,”As one walks from the darkness towards the light they tend to see even more but as one that walks from the light into the darkness they tend to lose sight to the point that they can not even see themselves.”

 God gives us clarity and vision in the light of Jesus Christ to see through the darkness of this world to reach the other side. Without the love of Jesus in our hearts and soul we often follow the principles of God but forget how we are to love each other unconditionally as He loves us. When we lack the understanding in the Word of God of how to recognize the darkness it is very easy to allow ourselves to fall into the spiritual traps of Satan that are in place to hold us back. 

 There are two distinct parts that we should recognize between the purity of the light and the confusion in the darkness. As one travels from the darkness to the light it is important to recognize that in this physical life there will always be obstructions trying to block the Way. In these obstructions we should look at them as curve balls or as temporary detours because in this walk towards the light sometimes we have to to take a step back in order to learn how to move forward. The object in the curve balls that we see is to learn the spirit of the pitch in order to bring ourselves back home. For when we learn how to recognize the spirit that we are dealing with is when we are learning the art of the game. 

 It is so easy in our human nature to allow our eyes to only see the the objects or hurdles that we have before us but in the vision that God gives we are to always seek the light to help us overcome the darkness.  When we learn to walk with Jesus our vision lifts from this temporary world to see the spiritual test that we have before us in order to learn how to grow in our faith and how to maintain the coarse that God provides. We are to never lose hope no matter how dark things may seem and it is through our faith that God will always carry us through…amen

 The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good your whole body will be full of light. Matthew 6:22

Seasons Come & Seasons Go

September 8, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 God gives us everything for a season to learn and to help prepare us for our future. Sometimes we stay in a season that seems like it will never change and these are times that we are to hold on because God will send us some relief along the way. During these seasons that seem to go on forever it is wise to be alert to those that are walking by.

 For sometimes when we feel stuck is when God has us in a certain place for a certain time to grow and to help someone else along the Way. The object in this life is to learn how to allow God to move us forward and to recognize when He wants us to sit still. God gives us our purpose when we learn to follow His desires rather than our own.

 For there is peace in each season when we learn how to appreciate the time that we are given and how to recognize the changes that are to come…amen

The Ripple Affect Of God

September 7, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Often things happen in life that we have no control over and that we can’t even explain. Sometimes when things happen others are affected unintentionally due to the ripple affects of the wave. Unfortunately in our human nature we tend to get upset when someone rocks the boat that we are in because we never take the time to look beyond the wave that we see.

 All waves start from something that are either put in place by God or allowed by God and until we learn how to recognize the purpose of the wave we will never understand the lesson that needs to be learned. Sometimes when waves come our way they are a test to not only show us what we may need to work on but they are also a test to show us the spiritual enemies that we sometimes have to face.

 The object in this life is to learn how to ride the waves in the hand of God while learning to recognize the waves that we may need to avoid. Sometimes we need to get rolled around in the waves of the sea in order for God to teach us in whom to believe…amen

The Wheel Of Life In God’s Will

September 6, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 There is a wheel to life that is God’s will and that is for us to forgive one another in order for our own sins to be forgiven. Jesus tells us in Mark 11 that when we pray to first forgive anyone that we may be holding a grudge against, so that our Father in Heaven will forgive ours as well. What many people do not understand is when we allow a grudge to build in our lives that they affect not only our relationship with God but they also have negative affects on our health and with others.

 Have you ever considered that God is the one that Created the wheel of life and how through the love of Jesus is what carries us forward? If you were to picture your life today as a wheel would you see flat spots? How about knots of unforgiveness? Are you carrying some things that maybe you need to let go of? How is the pressure in your wheel? Are you filled with the fruit of the spirit or does Satan have you so worked up that you feel as if you are going to explode?   

 We all pick up trash from time to time as we travel down the road of life but the object is to keep our wheel in balance and filled with the love of Jesus Christ so we can reach our eternal destination.  It is imperative to understand that spiritually Satan wants us to harbor things because he knows how this can harden our hearts to the point that we destroy what we have around us. I challenge you today if there is someone that you have been holding a grudge against to let them know that you forgive them and allow God to move you forward…amen

 Sometimes we have to let the air out in love in order for God to fill us back up again to move forward…

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…
