Don’t Miss The Boat…

September 28, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever really thought about why Jesus was ridiculed and crucified on the cross? As God sent His Son here to open up our eyes and ears He was here to show us the Way. Jesus was put on the cross not because He was guilty but because He was innocent but the ones who had positions of control did not like the message of freedom and equality that He delivered. This affected their traditions, their positions, their finances and it affected their stature of intellect.

Rather than humbling themselves to receive the Truth they fought against the Way because of where the message was coming from and it did not fit their human expectations. The spirit of Truth belongs to our Father and it can be spoken from even a donkey if the Lord choose. God teaches us this throughout His Holy Word and He sent His only begotten Son to teach us that this temporary life is not about what we see but about learning how to believe.

With this being said the next time someone comes from another direction to give you some advice may I encourage you to listen to the heart to insure that you are not missing something that needs to be heard. Too many times we miss what God has right before us because we have either become deaf, hard hearted, or blind. We are taught in Hebrews 13:8 that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever but if we don’t know how to listen or see then we could be missing the boat…

What Kind Of Fan Are You?

September 27, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever noticed how many of the fans in the stands of a hockey game rise up during a fight? Have you ever noticed how many fans in Nascar tend to be waiting on a wreck as the race intensifies? Have you ever noticed how many reporters are waiting on something juicy to report in the news that tears someone down instead of lifting someone up? Or, have you ever witnessed someone when climbing a mountain with God how many people stand around waiting on the fall instead of encouraging them to reach their call?

There is a spiritual lesson behind all of this when we open up our eyes to look beyond the moment to receive the overall message. First off all we must recognize that this battle here is not against flesh and blood but spiritual powers beyond the human eye. As we recognize that Satan is here to steal, kill, and destroy and begin to break everything down to simply good and evil then we can discover the spirits which often guide our actions.

As the crowd chanted for the crucifixion of Jesus we can witness within many hockey games the chant for a fight. As we listen to the crowds at Nascar speaking of a wreck we can witness life and death in the tongue. Like the reporters who want to crucify an individual instead of reporting something that will lift someone up. The same spirit of jealousy or disbelief often waits at the bottom to pounce on someone as they fall. What is wrong with this picture? God’s Word teaches us that everything that is good is of God and everything that is bad is of the devil. Don’t miss this spiritual message and if you find yourself sitting around waiting on someone to fall maybe you are the one missing God’s call…

An Inner Spring of Love…

September 23, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Love is like water in a pond and if we are not careful to keep our water flowing then we could allow our pond to become stagnant. There are two parts in life that we must recognize to keep our love in balance and one is our input as well as the other is our output. For one without the other allows our ponds to become cloudy and even to the point that we could miss some vital nutrients which is given in needed time.

If you ever study a pond compare it to yourself to insure the natural springs which feed you internally and double check yourself to insure that your love is flowing to someone else. Because the last thing that any loving individual should want, is for their life to become cloudy to the point that they can not see and to become stagnant to the point that others might fail to believe…amen

The River of God…

September 22, 2011 by admin 1 Comment

As we align ourselves in the river of God there is a main channel that can be heard. Within this channel there is a natural flow in the spirit which can carry us to our destination. There are no worries within this channel when we know that we are in the hand of our Creator who honors His Word as we obey His command. The object is to recognize the obstacles in the path and learn to allow God to move them out of the way to reach our destiny in life through the love of Jesus Christ.

There is a peace beyond understanding in the river of God and the more we learn to flow within His will instead of our own this allows us to see things from another perspective. For within this perspective of God is where we discover our purpose…

Make A Positive Step Forward…

September 15, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

As we all can see here in America there is a great need for a movement of God to reignite the coals within our souls in order to prepare and strengthen us for the days ahead. We can all hear others sitting around and talking about what this country needs but what this country needs are men and women that are willing to stand up with the willingness to simply do their part.

Real change first starts within each of us and then it spreads throughout our homes to communities and then to our nation but if we are not willing to make initiative ourselves then all we are doing is giving the enemy victory by robbing us of the life that we can have through the love of Jesus Christ. There is something you can do today to make a positive difference and I challenge you not to give Satan victory in falsely thinking you just dont have the time when you really do. In fact if you dont feel that uyou have the time then I challenge you to examine all the things you do to recognize in whom you are serving. For if your actions are not for the better of mankind then you are not properly serving God…

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…
