Are You Soaring or Sinking?

by Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in life when we drift away from God for our planes to become grounded and for our boats to take on water. Without God being in the center of our lives and maintaining our balance through the instruction of the Lord each one of us are vulnerable to become lost at sea.

 The object is to recognize how each boat leads to a larger boat and how each plane leads to a larger plane. Another point to recognize is the carrier and learn how to humbly come on board with unity to come out of the darkness into the light. This world is a tough world and will continue to get tougher. Unless we learn how to come together with God in the center of everything we do and learn how to recognize the ones that God puts before us to carry out His purpose and not our own then we are only going to continue to stand at the edge without ever learning how to go forward. 

 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control. 2 Tim 1:7

Forgiveness Brings Restoration

by Leave a Comment

 Learning to stand again when you have been stepped on by others that could not see and by those that failed to believe is taught in the life of Joseph with his own brothers as Joseph displayed his love for God by forgiving so the family could be reconciled. This same message was taught by Jesus at the cross which is recorded in Luke 23:34, “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”

 Is there someone in your life that you have not forgiven? Is there someone that has hurt you beyond human repair? Maybe your family is splintered due to the  lack of communication or jealousies that can develop from within. Are you harboring bitterness or anger due to some thing that happened in the past? Or, have you learned how to forgive and love for your family to steadfast?

 Spiritually Satan works in many ways to destroy the love between our family and friends. This takes place often because we allow our vision to be blocked by what we see and forget how to trust in God in whom we are to believe. We all experience pains and misfortunes in life but when we learn to take our shortcomings to the Lord is when our relationships can be restored.

 I challenge you to put your feelings aside and swallow your pride to feel the love of Jesus that is standing by. There is a point in life that we have to learn the art of sacrifice in order to receive the eternal rewards. Can you honestly tell me what is worth being separated from the love of God in your family and friends? Don’t allow Satan to rob you of the healing that comes in forgiveness and cause you to come up short in the End…

All Things Are Possible With God

by Leave a Comment

 Have you ever had an inner passion to drive you but along the way others only continued to discourage you due to their own lack of belief in the power of God? Have you ever been in a home where your own relatives beat you down when  you were only trying to stand up for what was right in the love of God? Have you ever been under a teacher in school who told you could not make it because you were not good enough? Have you ever had someone to count you out or look down upon you due to your background or your lack of worldly education? Has anyone ever discredited you due to your weak financial state? Or, have you ever simply felt inadequate due to your weak relationship with the Lord?

 There is no worse feeling than to have a passion that you know has been given by God and for it to be constantly stepped on due to man. This morning the Lord has placed on my heart to tell you this,”It does not matter where you have been or how many times you have fallen! All that matters is that you keep on picking yourself up and wiping the dust from your feet while seeking God to show you the Way!” 

 For the Lord says;

 Jeremiah 32:27,” I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?  Zechariah 8:6  this is what the LORD Almighty says: “It may seem marvelous to the remnant of this people at that time, but will it seem marvelous to me?” declares the LORD Almighty. And in Matthew 19:26,”But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”

 Never allow the world to discourage you or rob you of your inner passion and feel as if you can never reach your goals! The world is a rough sea but when you learn to trust in God and simply believe then He will send that fish that will help you reach the other side. I don’t care how dark your life may seem or how weak you may feel place your Trust In The Lord For He Is REAL!!!!

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…
