Test Of Faith…

April 25, 2011 by admin 2 Comments

 Have you ever heard someone describe faith as sitting in a chair without any doubt of it holding you up? Many people use this example in teaching faith.  It is a good analogy but lets take it a little deeper in the well of the Lord. If we look upon that chair while knowing it will hold up our weight then what happens when more pressures or weight is added to the seat? What happens if we do not know how to balance the weights through proper distribution and the weight becomes too heavy in particular spot?

 If we were to look at our lives as a chair we would find that unless we are sitting on the rock of Jesus that our seats will fold under the pressures of this world. The question that we all should be asking is who or what is holding us up? For if we are relying on money or people then what are we going to do when neither of them are around?  

Here is an awesome song by Kutless titled  What Faith Can Do and I pray that it encourages your faith to carry on….amen

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

Are You Feeling Weighted Down?

September 21, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Everyday we are faced with decisions that affect not only ourselves but the future of our children. In these decisions when we do know how to trust in God we often act in our emotions and open the door to Satan to spiritually misguide us into something that we never wanted in return. In the forefront of every thought it is wise to stay in prayer with God to insure the steps that we take for our children’s future.

 Spiritually Satan likes to weight us down in the pressures of this world because he knows that when we don’t know how to trust in God that we are destined to fall. The world is full of pressure and it is easy to see how many are falling in because of the lack of trust in God and placing it in man. I challenge you today if you feel pressured to commit yourself in prayer and allow God to give you the direction that you need to succeed…amen 

The weights are always heavy when we are trying to carry them on our own…

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…
