Use Your Gifts For God’s Glory…

December 17, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 When we learn to use the gifts God has given us for His glory instead our own, we will find that God will give us the power we need to accomplish whatever task that He gives us. By learning to trust in God and seeking Him for the wisdom and strength to go forward there is another peace that we will discover in knowing who is in control. 

  It is just our job to do the best we can wherever we are in life and always be content in where we are. For if we can’t learn to appreciate where we are then how do we honestly expect to appreciate where we might be going? I challenge you today and every other day to be content where you are and learn how to make the most out of what you have been given…amen

Who’s Your Personal Trainer?

December 16, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 Are you in shape both physically and spiritually? In our society there is alot of emphasis placed on the physical fitness, but spiritual health is even more important. Our physical health is susceptible to disease and injury but faith can sustain us through any tragedy or circumstance that we may face.

 To train ourselves to be holy, we must develop our faith by using our God given abilities in serving one another to develop our spiritual muscles as Jesus taught us in the Holy Bible. It is very easy to become lazy and think that we have reached our potential in life but when we seek to please God in everything we do it is truly amazing at the levels that can be reached.

 So, I ask you this morning,” Do you have a personal trainer named Jesus and when you look in the mirror what do you see?” All it takes is that first step to get yourself in shape and you will find that every other step will become easier to follow…amen

Fan The Flames…

December 15, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

  Paul teaches us to fan the flames in the spirit of God and to always encourage one another no matter where we are in life. One thing to keep in mind when someone is on fire for the Lord or excelling in their God given talent is how to fan the flame instead of trying to quench the spirit. Have you ever been excited about something and someone just let the air out of your balloon? Have you ever worked hard for something to make a difference and no one acknowledged the work that was done? Always recall that it is not what we do for ourselves but what we do for others that shows whom we follow.

 We all are human and need a word of encouragement from time to time. But more importantly we need to recognize in our spiritual maturity how to fan the flame instead of trying to dampen the fire. It is not our place to let the air out of someones balloon for God decides how high it will fly and when it is time to come back down. 

 I challenge you today and every other day be encouraging in your words and actions with others. And learn to fan the flame in the spirit of God while always keeping Jesus in  front to insure a safe landing…amen

Strive In Love…

December 14, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in our human character to become lazy and only do what it takes to get by. But since when are Christians to drift through life and not strive to make something better in everyday that we are given? Satan wants us to fall weak and complacent in our homes, in our work, in our relationships, and especially in the church to the point that we lose that fire in our first love that keeps us from moving forward. 

 Love is not something we are to only share with our spouse or our children. Love is something that should be reflected with everyone we meet and in everything we do. When we learn to work for God instead of ourselves it is truly amazing at the joy we will find. Every time you get ready to do something ask yourself,” Am I doing this for what I will get out of this, or am I doing this for the glory of God?”

 When we quit looking at what we we will temporarily gain and learn to focus on the eternal rewards in Heaven above then we will begin to discover our purpose in life through Jesus Christ. All it takes is that first step out of the darkness into the light that you will begin to see like never before. I challenge  you today and every other day to do the work it takes to keep your love alive and do the best you can in everything you do…amen

Debt And Deception In America

December 12, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 Over the last 40 years America has really allowed Satan to rob us of the freedom which we have in this country by chasing our dreams and becoming enslaved to the lender. Many people have been deceived by a generation of Americans that left God by chasing selfish desires and allowing themselves to become consumed with easy finance to a point that has misled many children, taken lives, divided homes, and suppressed America in a national debt that is  robbing us of our freedom in life. Finance is good when we keep it in balance, but as Jesus taught us when tempted by Satan we are to look beyond our desires to insure not only the possible outcome but most of all our children’ s future.

 God teaches us in the Holy Bible not to act on our emotions while Satan on the other hand wants us to jump before we are ready. When we don’t properly understand the biblical principles in the Word of God and difficult times fall upon us then Satan knows that we will grab a hold of anything to stay afloat. This spiritual tactic of Satan has misguided many people to prey on the weak for selfish desires instead of doing what is right in properly caring for the people.  

 Throughout the Holy Bible we were taught to be patient and to wait on God for He knows what is better for us than we know for ourselves. But by our country falling weak in our Christian faith this has allowed the secular world to misguide our country to a point that our children are losing more and more of their future freedom every day. It is easy to see Satan’s plan over the last 40 years by first consuming the people to chase their dreams and then allowing our own greed to lead to a corporate model that is destined to fall. Now due to this financial deception, Satan is hard at work within our own government to take over more and more of the free enterprise because many of us don’t even see how our country is falling deeper in debt to the point that we are all becoming slaves to the lender.

 Debt creates a drive to reach different levels in life but when we don’t understand the Word of God our debt can become a burden that will rob us of our purpose in life through Jesus Christ. Always know what may look good to the eye at first may not always be the road we need to travel. Because it is what we can’t see that will get us every time when we step out in our emotions instead of trusting in God to bring it all together...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…
