A Healthy Garden…

June 1, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

  It is very easy in life with a lack of understanding to overlook how we are to love others as we wish to be loved ourselves. Think about it! If you were to compare the people in your life to a garden would you find all different types of plants or would you only find one particular kind? What good is a garden if it does not have a diverse crop that yields all different types of harvest?

 Lets take this a little deeper to pull on a few roots of weeds that could be restricting God’s seeds. Why is it when we have a garden that we pay close attention to every plant in our crop but when look upon the people in our lives we tend to walk on by? Why is it that we will see that the plant in our garden gets what it needs to grow but when it comes to people we neglect what we know?

 Every plant requires love and nurturing to yield a future crop and it is when we neglect the plants around us that we can become stunted in growth. As we give is how we receive and it also shows in whom we believe…Amen

True Christianity…

May 31, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 True Christianity is loving someone for who they are and for what they should become. Like that seedling that sprouts to a tree each tree is to produce fruit of its own. Some trees produce fruit while some trees simply drop seeds. While others learn the importance of how to stand on their own for others to lean upon in their needs.

 When we learn to look upon people as a plant that has life this helps us to love as Jesus Christ. For Jesus plainly taught us how to love the wretched not merely for what he/she was but for what they they should become. It is very easy in life to look upon the physical but when we learn to stay focused on the spiritual is when God will show us things that we have never seen…Amen

Maturing With Christ…

May 30, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 We all start out as a seed that matures in the womb. Over time the seed produces a new life that will take root of its own. Not all trees mature in the same timing for each tree has its own season. Now the fruit of the tree teaches us a wise lesson, for the juice of the ripe apple is the same that was in the green fruit but with sun- light and sun- heat.

 As we begin to mature with Christ we can find that our lives are like that of a tree that is to produce fruit. For our life is to grow in the light of wisdom and softened by the heat of love. The most important factor to understand in our maturity is that we each mature in our own time and it is our responsibility to love one another. Learning to mature with Christ day by day is an awesome experience for we can taste the juice of the fruit getting better and better each day…Amen

End Times False Prophecy

May 21, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Throughout history man has tried to predict the future, and even how certain events in the End Times are going to take place. The Lord tells us how times are going to be and what to watch out for in false doctrine, false teaching and even in signs throughout the world but He plainly tells us, ” No man knoweth the hour nor the day except for thy Father in Heaven above.”

 It is very easy in life to get so wrapped up in trying to comprehend the End but when we do this we forget and neglect the day. Everyday we are given has something special when we learn to look in the right directions and appreciate Gods creation. So what if it is tomorrow or a thousand years from now as long as we are truly ready in our hearts with Jesus Christ for that day we are called home.

 The Word of God is about believing, having faith, maturing, and sharing with others as we are to be obedient to His Word. There is a day coming that we will be called home and we should be living everyday as if it were our last. The beautiful part of this journey in this physical life is learning to live in the Spirit of God and serving within His will in everything we do. Here is a piece of wisdom that  was shared with me as I seeked the Lord on individuals predicting the End Time. The Lord said to me,” There is a reason for doors to be opened in proper season and if fallen man knew the doors of the future he would forget or neglect the day!”

 Spiritually Satan has used this method of negative publicity on End Time predictions in order to bring confusion and doubt among the unbelievers and the weak in faith in an attempt to rob them of the joys they have in everyday given. For there is no worry when we know our destination and whats wrong with a little work because the work only makes us appreciate the rewards…Amen

Listening For God…

May 20, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy to become immune to the teachings within the Holy Bible and dulled with its words when we hear it spoken so often. Rather than just scanning over something or acting as if we are listening we should stop to listen to every verse and then ask the Holy Spirit to help us answer this question, “How does this apply to my life?”

 There is something to learn in every aspect of life and God speaks to us in many different ways but far too often we miss what needs to be heard because have forgotten how to stop and truly listen. I challenge you today to slow down and focus on what needs to be heard to allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in your actions because you never know what the Lord might be trying to teach along the Way…amen

”When you begin to listen for God you can hear God, but unless you know how to listen then how can you honestly expect to receive?” Here is an awesome song by Mercy Me titled Word of God Speak that I pray will speak to you as it speaks to me…

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…
