A Nurtured & Balanced Life…

July 27, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

As a farmer who raises a crop he first must prepare the soil to receive the seed. Once the seed is planted the work is not over for the farmer and in actuality the work has just begun. There is a period before the seed rises into the plant that is visible to the eye that it must grow roots before it can reach up to the sky. For a plant is only as strong as its roots and without them being firmly fastened and reaching to the water source then the plant will be stunted in growth.

As the seeds begin to rise before the harvest the farmer has a job to protect the plants and to nourish his crop. When a farmer neglects the work and his responsibility in his job then this opens the doors for his crop to be overtaken by the weeds. The weeds can have a stronghold if the farmer waits to address and if the weeds are allowed to grow for too long not only will they drain the life in the crop before the harvest but the farmer might have to simply plow up the field to start all over again.

We can relate our lives to the farmer and the responsibilities that we have been given to uphold God’s Word in our lives, homes, churches and careers. Within this responsibility as the farmer it is wise to pay attention to the crop that we have been given and for the plant that we are within the overall Kingdom of God. For a crop that is well balanced is a crop that will produce future seeds…

Cleanse Yourself In Righteousness…

June 2, 2011 by admin 2 Comments

  If you were to examine the the blood that is traveling within your veins what you find in your heart that keeps it flowing? Did you know that you can honestly feel what is in your blood and recognize the impurities that need to be cleansed? Think about it! How is your diet? What about your temperament? Are you struggling with bitterness or with lust? How about greed or jealousy? Or, are you suffering in simply distrust?

 Here is how we can recognize what is traveling in our veins. The next time you feel your heart pumping and your blood beginning to flow analyze what it is driving your heart to make sure that the love of God always shows. As a plant that is nourished by unclean water it never matures to its full potential as the plant that is being fed by the natural springs of living water that is pure and Holy…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

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…
