Be A Doer Not Just A Hearer…

by Leave a Comment

 Good morning,

 I greet you in the name of the Lord and our savior Jesus Christ. This morning I would like to share with you something a little different than before in a brief testimony in how my life has changed. Over the years I heard the Word of God spoken and even played the roll of calling myself a Christian when I (thought) that I knew Jesus when I really did not understand His purpose in life.

 It is very easy to call ourselves a Christian to fit into the community because this is what we must do to be accepted in our society that we live in, or to call ourselves a Christain when we don’t want to listen to someone trying to tell us about God because we don’t want to hear how we are accountable for our actions. There was a time that I played church on one side, but something totally different on the other. In this recognition of my previous life I now see how to properly believe because it is not about trying to walk on water , but it’s how we walk on land.

 I just want to tell you today how I praise God for sending His Son Jesus Christ to show us the way back home!!! I was so lost but now I am found!!! Jesus has delivered me from all my hurt and all my shame. The beautiful thing about God our Father in Heaven is that He loves us each of us so much that He never gives up on us even when we are deep in the darkness and not properly living in the light which is given through Jesus Christ. I say all of this to you this morning in hopes that you will praise God with me, for as I write these words in God’s great mercy I have tears of praise in giving God all glory from delivering me from my pain…

 Never give up or lose hope on the love that you seek even when life seems so dark and bleek. Because all you have to do is listen to that gentle whisper in your heart in allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you back home. What is home some may ask, and I would like to tell you what home is to me now that I have been set free,” Home is a place of security and strength in thy Father’s arms and filled with motherly love that is given through Jesus Christ in always being their even when we fall. Home is also a place we share meals together and laugh with one another in just being who we are instead of acting like something that we are not.”

 Life is a journey that we are to learn from and to teach our children how to carry on even when we are gone. If there is anything that I can ever say to you, I pray that you praise God with me and join together in being a doer and not just a hearer. God is real and Jesus is the Son, and I want you to remember that our walk and even our talk does matter in everything we do. So with all of this being said this morning, I challenge you today and every other day to make a positive difference and never lose hope in the darkness of this world  because when we learn to trust in God all things work together for the good…amen

A Brother In Christ & Servant To The Lord,

Make A Positive Difference…

by Leave a Comment

 How many times have you struggled to improve something or make a difference in your life that will in turn make a difference in someone elses? Why is it that we allow ourselves to be robbed of doing something when we know in our hearts that it could be better for not only ourselves but for those around us?

It is so easy to leave something up to someone else and not do it ourselves because we may feel there is no hope or it is too much work to be done, and this thought process is so wrong! When we fall to this negative thinking what do you see this teaching to our children and to those all around us? We must remember in the body that all parts are to work together as one in the direction of God through Jesus Christ .

All we have to do is learn to take that first step in faith within the will of God and do the work that the Lord has put before us to make a difference in our lives that will in turn make a difference in someone else’s.

 I challenge you today and every other day to commit yourself in making a positive difference that will improve something in your life and teach others how to never lose the seed of love that we carry in Jesus Christ. It is easy to wait on someone else to do something, but have you ever thought that the other person may be waiting on you?

 We all wait on something and timing is important, but this is no excuse to never share or do what we know in our hearts to be true…amen

Real Change…

by Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in life to say we are going to change or correct a problem but the question is, “Do our actions follow our words?”

 There is only one way to change or correct a problem and that is to get to the roots at the bottom and then work our way back up to the top! If we only work on the top without properly addressing the bottom then the change is only superficial because it will only last so long before the infected roots on the inside will consume that which is on the outside.

 We can speak change all day long but if we are not willing to do the work it takes to correct our issues in life then prepare for the change to only last so long before the fall. I challenge you today and every other day to make positive changes no matter the work it takes that will in turn make something better for our children of the future…amen

How Do You Balance?

by Leave a Comment

When you study the word balance and look upon your life what do you see?

 Do you see your life out of order, your work in chaos, your marriage barely alive, your children out of control, or just no time for yourself in allowing God to keep you in tune?  

 In order to keep our lives in check we must recognize the purpose of self discipline and the purpose of order in all directions to maintain our balance in life. Maintaining our balance is not something that comes easy and we must accept the fact that it requires work to keep our lives in tune. It is very easy in todayssociety to feel like we do not have time when we really do, and this is exactly what satan wants because then he knows we can lose our direction in life.

 For life is not about how fast we can run or fast we may achieve a goal. It is about learning to maintain what we have been given before we can reach the next levels in life through Jesus Christ.

 I challenge you today and every other day to look around at everything which you have been given from your health, to your work, to your spouse, to your children, to your friends, to your neighbors, to your church, and most of all to God in Heaven above to see if there is something that you may need to address in order to help someone else maintain their balance in life.

 Life is not about what we gain in this world but how we leave it, and with this being said I leave you this morning with this question upon your heart,” What can you do today that will improve something for tomorrow?” Don’t just go through your day drifting along the way! Go the extra mile in everything you do in allowing the Lord to bring you through…amen

Look Beyond The Storm…

by Leave a Comment

 It is so easy in everyday life to get entangled in the obstacles that we face daily that we forget the direction that God has shown us by how to face and overcome our troubles in life. When we remove our focus from God our vision becomes restricted by Satan.  He only wants us to fall deeper into our troubles rather than facing them head on with the armor of God and doing the work that it takes to get us through.

 In the flesh of man it is very easy to give up or lay down when we face negative issues in life but this is where we must learn to call upon Jesus to help us through by never taking the easy way out and never avoiding what we know is right in our hearts to be true.  Jesus plainly taught us how to look beyond the negative circumstance of this world by seeking the direction of God while never avoiding what we must face. When we follow this principle in life by facing our issues it is amazing how much more clear they will become and even how the Lord can deliver you.

 If we are not careful in the fog of this world we can allow one negative issue to blind us of all the blessings that we have around us.  This is where we must learn to look beyond the storm to see our way to the other side. We all have issues whether individually, at home, in our family, in our work, in our country and even in many of our churches that can cause us to feel that we cannot make a difference.  We can make a difference!  The Lord plainly taught us how by facing our issues in loving ways rather than in anger.  It is when we neglect the light of Jesus that we will fall to the darkness of this world.

 I challenge you to face something that will improve not only things in your life but something in someone else’s by showing them that you care.  It is when we neglect this principle in our life that we forget how to act within the love of Jesus Christ and we fall to only focusing on ourselves rather than looking beyond our life…amen

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…
