Know Your Foundation…

September 14, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever really given much thought to the ingredients that holds our homes together and who gives us the integrity to sustain any type of storm? Within every home there are principles that gives it structure and within these principles there is love with understanding. Many people say they have love but without the love of Jesus in our homes then this love is superficial and it is destined to collapse back to the foundation.

It is wise to stop and ask ourselves from time to time why we do the things we do in order to insure the proper motives and to insure the longevity within the future. For when we do things out of the love of Jesus this develops a bond that will not be broken…

Knowing Your Foundation…

September 13, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Knowing our steps down to every fragment of our foundation is wise to insure the longevity of our stand and to know the areas which need to be addressed. For if we continue to overlook or neglect the areas which need attention then this can cause a crack in our foundation. These cracks may seem minor at first but the longer they are neglected the worse they will become. A healthy foundation is one that breaths life and is filled with love without covering something up that needs to be addressed.

A house may look good on the outside but if its foundation is struggling or falling apart then how long do you honestly expect it to stand? The foundation of a home is the most aggravating part to work on due to the hard work that is involved but if we continue to cover up the trash within the foundation it is only a matter of time before the fall. Sometimes we have to break things down in order to insure the longevity of the future…

One Step Leads To Another…

September 12, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

The steps we take are driven by the choices we make and when we seek God’s direction is when we will experience His Heavenly protection. For a step taken without thought or without Godly council is a step that can be often swayed when obstacles come our way. Having the assurance of God and learning to stand upon His foundation of the rock gives us the confidence and boldness to persevere through any storm in order to witness the rainbow on the other side.

For God has given us a promise and His Word still stands today! The object is for us to learn how to stand upon His Word in love and then allow Him to carry us forward in the river of God as we learn to trust and obey…

In Faith Comes Purpose…

September 9, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever had a deep down desire in your heart for something good and that will serve others? The Lord places specific desires in our hearts to serve His purpose and not our own but unfortunately due to a lack of faith or due to listening to the world we often allow Satan to separate us from God’s purpose in our life. How does this happen you might be asking? Many people miss their purpose or their calling due to simply not listening to God for the steps that are to be taken and knowing His voice when it is time to step out of the boat to reach our destination.

Due to our human nature of looking for the path of least resistance or the shortest way to our goals we often miss the lessons that are needed in the wilderness to develop our character and to prepare us for our future. If there is something in your heart that is good may I encourage you this morning to not allow anyone to distract you or hold you back! May God recall your inner most desires this morning and give you the nudge to step out in faith to serve His will instead of your own or someone else’s….

Quality or Quantity???

September 8, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever considered the importance of quality over quantity? Due to the spiritual deception of the devil the American culture is now seeing the results of selling its birthright since the formation of this country and we can often witness the same results in our relationships today. When we feel as if we don’t have time when we really do this is where we lose our balance in this life and it can affect the next generation.

Think about it! Why are so many ancient structures still standing when our buildings today fall in one gust of wind? Why do you think that within this generation we are witnessing so many children falling to drugs or to crime? Why do you think the divorce rate is so high and we are witnessing families falling apart? The simple answer is the lack of God centered time which is driven by love without being driven by the world.

Whatever you build whether in your families or in your work build them with quality time to maintain the longevity in life. For what good is something if there is no substance and it sways in the first winds that come to knock it off course?

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…
