The Roots Of The Heart…

April 8, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very wise to know the words that you speak and the roots of where they come from. For if you are not willing to examine the roots of your heart then that means something is still standing in the way. Until we learn to be transparent in the Word of God and be completely honest with ourselves then we can be restricting the blessings of God that can come on earth as it is in Heaven.

 Too many times due to our own distrust of God we allow the serpent to rob the seeds that are planted. Like a chicken snake that sneaks in to rob the eggs from the coup so does Satan sneak into the house of God to rob someone of the young that is being born. They due this through deception, lies, disbelief, jealously, anger, and simply due to their own lack of a relationship with God. Why would someone do this you may ask? The reason is simple, since they don’t have God they don’t want someone else to have Him either!

 Many times people don’t even know how Satan is spiritually using them to restrict another and this is where we all must open ourselves up to the Word of God to be real in order to prevent the snake bites from within the body. Satan does not want us to have unity because of the power that comes in one spirit. Until we learn how to face the snakes in love and shake the snakes that have bitten we will only continue to miss the boat to the other side.

 This message does not only apply spiritually to the family of God but it stands true in our homes, our work and in our nation. It is my prayer that we all learn to stand with God in the love of Jesus to maintain the freedom and security that He provides…amen

Working Around The Enemy…

April 5, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Every day that we have to enter this world we encounter Satan spiritually working through the lost and unfortunately even in some that think they are found. We encounter people that claim to be one thing but they show something different. These are the ones that can do the most damage. For a snake that blends in is hard to detect unless you are alert in the Word of God to recognize the enemy.

 See there are all different types of snakes. Some are simply lazy without venom but their laziness can get so heavy that they can squeeze the life out of their prey. Some snakes act like they have a bite but when you back them in a corner you will find they have no power becuase all they know how to do is fight. But the most dangerous snakes are the ones that slip in when you are sleeping. 

 A snake that learns the ways of its prey often moves in disguise feeding off of the praise of others. He or she especially works on the young in their mind to limit their effectiveness in the Kingdom of God. The praise that the enemy receives feeds the spirtual enemy due to their selfish desires for control, power, greed or to simply fill their cup that is empty by making them feel important.

 As any snake that we encounter it is wise to be alert to what we are dealing with in the spiritual enemy. For the venom that comes from their actions and evil words can bring rot in the body. The only way for true healing is for the one that bites to retract their wrongs through confession and repentance to make things right. For a true believer in Christ does not inject venom but soothes the soul in true love through their words and actions.  

 Be wise to enemy that not only works on the outside but thrives to work within us from within the inside…”Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.’ Matthew 10

When To Stand…

April 4, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 In 1 Samuel 20 we learn a valuable lesson on sacrifice between Jonathan and David. Jonathan’s own dad (Saul) had allowed jealousy to consume him to the point he wanted to kill his son’s friend David. The interesting part within this lesson is when Jonathan spoke to his father about David and how the anger inside Jonathan’s father then transfered towards his own son. Jonathan then developed righteous anger towards his fathers wrong actions not for what he had done to him but for what he was doing to his friend David.

 The lesson is this,”Do you become angered towards the injustice towards yourself or for the wrongs that are being done to others?” Our life should not matter because God has given us the Way to handle this but when wrongs are being done to others then we have a responsibility under God to stand for one another. Isn’t this the same lesson that Jesus taught? Isn’t this the same lesson He showed on the cross? 

 Think about it! In your love of Christ we should be able to handle someone doing us wrong through the instruction of God as Jonathan displayed with his own father but this does not mean that we are to allow someone being spiritually misguided by Satan to hurt the ones we love. If someone was to speak evil words about someone in your family would this not get you up out of your seat? What is this difference between someone in our immediate family at home and another brother or sister in Christ? For if we are true believers this would in all be the same…amen

How To Sow Seeds…

April 1, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Learning to sow seeds is very important not only in the garden but in the Kingdom. Way too many times we get in a hurry without learning how to plant. Think about it! Each individual seed is a plant by itself. This individual plant is to produce fruit for the future harvest. Where many farmers and Christians alike miss the boat is in too many plants growing in one spot and not taking the time to properly nourish the young. 

 For when more than one plant is sharing the same pot, if they are not careful to work together they could stunt the overall growth affecting the harvest. The object in planting seed is becoming a wise farmer that learns how to not waste what he plants. A key part in gardening is learning how to place the plants in position to reach their full potential. For what good is a fruit tree if it never learns how to bear fruit? Or, what good is a farmer without patience?

 The Lord teaches us not to plant two different seeds in one field because one can take from the other. When you really seek God for this wisdom you can learn alot about how to plant in love…Make Your Seeds Count and Not Fall Dorment!!!  

 May His Amazing Love Touch You As He Has Touched Me… Amazing Love

Confession Brings Freedom

March 30, 2011 by admin 1 Comment

 Did you know that our unconfessed sins can lead us into depression and place us in a spiritual prison? They can also cause us many different types of health issues and can have a negative affect on those around us. Our pride that causes us to hold back confession allows Satan to enter our lives in order to restrict the healing that comes in the Truth of God.

 Through our confessions there comes freedom in Christ but too many times we allow Satan to hold us back because we don’t want others to see where we have been wrong. So what about what others might think! Isn’t your relationship with God more important than your relationship with man? We all make make mistakes from time to time but the object is to humble ourselves in Christ and learn from them to not repeat again.

 If you are allowing the same sin to continue then I strongly urge you to examine yourself in the mirror of God. For true repentance does not repeat the same action…

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…
