Focus on The Promise & Not The Storm…

May 6, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Due to our human nature of complacency and what takes place when we lose our perspective in why we are here is when storms tend to come into our lives in order to bring us back to the very beginning. See it is very easy to take for granted what we have until it is taken away and unless we maintain our balance within the Word of God then we better prepare to be thrown around in the wind.

 Don’t get caught up in the lives of one but learn to look at the body through the eyes of the Lord to see how we are all just a individual cell. Each cell can be broken down into different atoms and these atoms represent our surroundings from our homes, our work, our church, our community and our nation. It is when allow Satan to misguide our focus that we tend to forget the commandments of God. When we neglect this is when an infection can set up in the body that can grow out of control until it is brought to our attention.

 Like any infection sometimes they have to be washed, scrubbed or even removed to insure that we get to the root of the infection that is affecting the overall body. This life is not about external growth or material wealth it is about the internal growth with God that carries us forward. It is when we forget this that we better prepare for what is sure to come in discipline to correct the infection before it deteriorates the overall body…Amen

Here is a song by Casting Crowns that will help in any storm…Praise You In The Storm

Take A Look At Yourself…

April 19, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 If you were to take a picture of yourself and it displayed your every hearts desire along with the thoughts that are repeated in your mind would it be a picture that you wouldn’t mind being seen or would it be a picture that would be considered to be unclean? It is very easy in our human nature to recognize the faults in others but what good is this if we can’t see our own?

 Too many times we try to help someone else when we are the very ones that need the help ourselves. Why do we do this you may ask? We do this to cover up our own hurts or sins in order to give us a sense of something good to cover up something that is bad. You can relate this to a digitally enhanced picture because the picture that was taken is no longer real but turned into a fake.

 If there is something within your picture that needs to be addressed don’t try to delete it or cover it up! Learn to be open and honest through your communication in order to properly receive the healing that needs to take place. For when we learn to put our trust in the Lord and expose ourselves for who we really are is when the Lord will show us the Way…

Are You Listening For God?

January 11, 2011 by admin 2 Comments

 Throughout history God has spoken in mighty ways through nature to get our attention and to display His Holy power from flooding the earth, speaking through the burning bush, sending plagues, parting the seas, and through a donkey to deliver a message to you and me. The Lord speaks to us in many ways through signs and wonders everyday but as we learn with Elijah that these signs and wonders are there to get our attention and for us to learn how to listen.

1 Kings 19 “Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

 Learning to listen for God requires us to hear His Words that are placed upon our hearts and God speaks to us everyday but as we learn in Job 33 that we often miss what is right at our feet because we have fallen asleep to the Word of God. Are you awake? Are you listening for God? Are you seeing the signs of the times? Are you sure that you are following God and not being misled spiritually by Satan? 

 It is very wise to slow down at times to insure the steps that we are taking without allowing Satan deceive us in our emotions. For all Satan wants is for us to jump before we are ready. Are you ready? Can you hear that still small voice? If you want to hear God then simply be still and listen….

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…
