How Obama Got Elected

August 14, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 Throughout the Word of God in the Holy Bible we learn the different characteristics of our human nature and we learn the weaknesses in our flesh when we begin to drift away from God by placing our eyes upon man rather than staying focused on the Lord. In the book of 1 Samuel God teaches us one of the most important lessons in life right out of the gate when the people rejected God and began to desire the leadership of man.

 The people were tired of leaders that abused their positions by placing heavy burdens upon the people due to serving themselves rather than properly serving the will of God. During this period of time with Samuel and the passing of the chain of command to Saul God taught us a vital lesson of how not to look at the outward appearance of man nor his family statue but to look at the heart of a man to recognize who they follow.

 Our Father in Heaven taught us this lesson for a specific reason in order to help us make wise decisions in our future when we select our leaders because He knows how we tend to rely on what we see rather than trusting in God in whom we believe. In this lesson with Saul becoming our first King or President, God teaches us the importance of our leaders seeking God for council prior to making decisions which could have a negative impact on the people.

 The problem that we have today is that many of our leaders are not seeking God for proper council and taking matters into their own hands as Saul did back in this period of time. Many of our leaders are allowing worldly advice to influence their decisions and allowing selfish motives to guide their actions. This same lesson was taught with Moses when he allowed the pressures of the people to guide his actions as a leader instead of following the instruction of God to maintain the position that he had been given.

 Due to our society continuing to drift away from the Word of God and looking for answers in the world this has allowed a majority of our population to become vulnerable and confused. In this vulnerable state of America from the suppression of the minority to the suppression of the poor many of our leaders have learned how to use these spiritual oppressions of the people to achieve their positions of power in order to serve themselves rather than properly following the instruction of God.

 No one should seek a position of leadership without being led by God to serve the people and when we elect our leaders it is vital that we listen to God rather than to man. As Martin Luther King Jr. was called we learn that our leaders that are driven by God are to help us to move forward by walking with us to overcome our struggles rather than trying to hold us down in order to maintain their own positions.

 It is easy to talk about change and prey upon the emotions of the people to influence their decisions but when we make decisions based on our emotions without truly evaluating the motives behind the individuals then we are only setting ourselves up for harder times in the future. This is why we are in the state of economic crisis that we are in here in America due to the world preying upon our emotions in our spontaneous decisions. The same principle applies to children out of wed lock and the high divorce rate here in America because we have allowed our emotions to guide our actions rather than understanding the self discipline that is required to maintain the freedom in the love that God has given.

 Real change first starts within ourselves and then spreads to our homes then to our communities. The world likes to think that money is the answer and that our  leaders are the ones that can make a difference and this is where the world is wrong! For real change starts at the foundation or the bottom and then works its’ way back up to the top while never forgetting the importance of maintaining the foundation from which we stand in order for God to continue to bless our land.

 It is in our human nature to want someone else to do the work but we must recall that it is our individual responsibility under God to maintain the integrity of our homes and of our nation in order to maintain something for our children’s future…amen

 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man… Psalm 118:8

Spiritual Messages From Hollywood

May 2, 2009 by admin 29 Comments

 It is easy to see how Hollywood has been falling away from God over the years and how California has fallen to sin in their tolerant actions. But the beautiful part is how many of them don’t even recognize how the Lord is working in them to spread a message of faith in the biblical truths of Jesus Christ through movies that are reaching throughout the world .

 To view these hidden messages read the Spiritual Movie Reviews at the site noted below to see something beyond the characters which we physically see. You can view these reviews at http://www.balancedlifeministry.org/blm/seminars-events and when you read these reviews listen to your heart without looking upon the flesh of man to see something like you have not seen from Hollywood in a long time or on rare occasions.

 God is great and will even work through those that don’t even understand whom is in control!!!

Gods Way or Mans Way?

April 30, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

America needs to Wake Up and see the Truth in how far we have fallen in our country in serving man instead of serving God. What is taking place in our American greed is not fare to the people and most of all not right by God! When we increase our debts without getting to the root of the problem this only turns us into modern day slaves to the dollar and prolongs the misery that this country is in.

It is very easy when on the top in leadership to lose sight of the bottom. But a good leader keeps in touch with the working people to insure the right things are being accomplished in the overall goals.

God never intended for people to profit from other’s misfortune and He teaches us that caring for one another is more important than personal gain. In (1Corinthians12) He says,” When a Christian brother or sister suffers we all suffer”. How far do we have to continue to fall away from our foundation before we Wake Up to the Truth?

Other nations are mocking us and sitting back just waiting on the fall. It is time we Stand Back Up to reclaim Victory because with God all things are possible! When you begin to put Him first then and only then will you be able to see the light that will give you the direction you need to overcome the struggles we face. Until we do this we are only going to go in circles and drift further out to sea…..

A Great Revival Is Coming To America

April 26, 2009 by admin 8 Comments

Soaring Eagle All over the world there have been great awakenings in the glory of God through Jesus Christ while America sat stagnant in looking for the fire that we once carried.  The reason for our stagnant growth here in America is because many have left the the truth and fallen tolerant in not speaking out against sin. The fire never left us but we left the fire in the Word of God and it is time for us to return to what we know in our hearts for our children’s future. There is a great revival just beyond the horizon here in The United States of America but always remember before every great revival there is a seasoning that takes place in order to prepare the hearts of the people to receive what they need in order to find their way back home. It is time that we all begin to claim VICTORY and seek God for the direction to overcome this evil spirit that has been suppressing our country and tearing our homes apart.

 We know in our hearts the Truth and it is time we stand together under God and do what is right for our children’s future. I face problem’s everyday just like everyone else but I praise God through Jesus Christ that He saw me even worthy to go through what I have in order to help someone else in their walk of life .  It is imperative to remember that sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. But it is during these times that there is great peace and joy because we know in our hearts that the Lord has something far better in store  just beyond the horizon.

America Needs Change By Focusing On The Family

April 15, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

Have we forgotten that The United States of America is our family as a whole? It is imperative that President Obama and our US Leaders stop to hear the people before our homeland separates further from the body. There is a division starting in this country due to losing sight of our foundation and if we do not return to God and continue on the path we are on then we better prepare our homes for harder times in the near future.  

 Think about it! What builds and holds this country together? It is not our economy, not money, or anything else but the strength that God gives in True love within our homes and in our families. It is time that our country returns back to our foundation and makes some hard decisions in what is right for the people to save our homeland from a future divorce. It is very easy in life to try and solve our neighbors problems while we neglect our own. But if we do not Wake Up to this fact and see how our homes are suffering then before you know it our homes will slip away and if we are not especially careful during this time someone unwanted might  slip in through the back door hurting us even more.

Dear President Obama & US Congress,

It is my prayer as a father and as an American that you stop to hear what is being said in this message before matters get worse. I don’t envy your position nor do I ever seek your roll but I am a man of God that is highly concerned for our children’s future.  It is very easy in life to get caught up in all the turmoil in our country and around the world but there comes a time that every man under God must stop to focus on the family before the family falls apart. If you really want change then place the wisdom of God in front by standing with men of God that that will help carry this country forward without falling tolerant in just trying to please certain people. By doing this you will begin to make a positive difference and you will gain support like never before in the power of God.

With God all things are possible when we learn to work together as one and understand our purpose in life. This country is a Great home with Great people but we need to join hands to help restore the love within our family before our family members turn on one another in selfish survival tearing this country apart. This can be done when we stop to listen and apply the Word of God to our lives!!!

James Harrison

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…
