The Missing Link…

April 1, 2012 by admin 4 Comments

My name is James A. Harrison Jr. and within my family heritage there are founding fathers of this nation from President William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison. Secretary of State William H. Seward who purchased Alaska and many other leaders that have helped shape this nation. I have always found our family heritage interesting as I looked back in history to recognize the strengths and weaknesses within my family blood line. I can recall sitting on the front porch one day with my mother and discussing with her the patterns within my Grandfathers life and the same patterns within my own fathers as well. These patterns were not what I wanted in my life due to recognizing that there was something missing within my fathers family heritage and I was seeking for this missing link.

As a prodigal child I made many wrong steps and made some wrong decisions but it was within these trials that I discovered this missing link. I will never forget writing a letter to my father and saying,”Dad I figured it out! Do you know why you have risen and then fallen? Do you know why you have never been able to maintain what you have been given?” I then said,” The reason we have struggled for so long is because we have left GOD out of it!” Ever since this discovery of the TRUTH and why God had to send His only begotten Son Jesus Christ here to die for our sins my life has been on a road of restoration and further understanding.

As you can witness throughout this website a burning desire and call that has set up in my bones. Recently I heard these words while seeking God for further understanding. I heard the Spirit of Truth say,”What man messes up, God corrects through the blood.” I was astounded at this fact that is easy to now see due to looking back at history in order to break the pattern and move forward into the Promises of God. For there is mighty power in the blood.

Recently,  I discovered that on my mothers side of the family there was Native American blood within her family. This discovery opened my eyes further as I found it interesting to recognize the genetic make up within my blood line. Where is all of this going you might ask? This is all leading up to the roots of this nation and the importance of being grounded in the Word of God to maintain what God has given.

America has covered up the roots of our national sin without proper repentance and politicians have tried to avoid this fact for the sole purpose of their own desires. Indian Chief Joseph once said,”I believe much trouble would be saved if we opened our hearts more,” and this could not be more true.  The United States of America is facing the same pattern as my own life and it is my prayer that America WAKES UP to this TRUTH! For the longer we neglect the real issues at hand the harder the fall and the harder it will be on our children’s future.

Here are two different Youtube clips that every American should see. Please forward this to as many as you can and join me in prayer for our nation to be healed and for God’s restoration before it is too late. The first video American Holocaust of Native Americans is where it all began and the second Freedom Riders is with the injustice of the racism with the African Americans. To God be all the glory…amen

But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16

Are There Barriers In Your Life

July 31, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 It is very easy to see the physical differences in people and allow these differences to cause a division within the overall body that create a barrier for us to overcome. These divisions that can come between us not only rob us of the blessings of God but they also open the door to Satan to spiritually misguide us into forgetting how we are to work together as One in the body while respecting each part for the roll that we all carry.

 To help us break these barriers between one another it is vital that we recognize that there are only two types of people in this world. We are either a child of God that serves the Kingdom or we are a child of Satan that seeks the world. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ taught us how to live in the world but not of the world while instructing us to love the enemy in hopes that the enemy would recognize how God’s love is for all people. 

 As a child of God in this world it is very critical that we teach our children how to avoid these divisions in the body of Christ by teaching them how Satan wants us to be robbed of who we are. The day that we are given life as a child of God it is important to recognize how Satan has been already at work in the family to destroy the foundation of the home that is needed to raise our children. As God’s children mature they are in constant attack spiritually to be robbed of who they are to limit the amount of work that they can do in helping others along the Way.

 A good example of this is how men prey on women to satisfy a selfish desire that is being triggered in an emotion. The spiritual deception that works in our sexual desires is a very dangerous emotion to recognize because Satan works strongly in these desires because he knows how they can rob someone of who they are and how they can cause us to feel like something that we are not. Our emotions are critical to recognize in how they can misguide us and cause us to do something that we would later regret. This happens in all aspects of life from buying something that we do not need, from saying something that we should not say, doing something that we should not do, and even quitting on something because we feel that we can do no more.

 When we allow our emotions to guide our lives it is very easy to become suppressed and lose the direction which God provides. This world is full of pressures that come from every corner and when we do not teach our children how to handle their pressures in the Word of God through the self discipline that is required to maintain what we have been given then we are only setting our children up for a hard road in the future. 

 Teaching does not only come in books but in the example of how we live our lives in this world. When God gives us the gift of our children it is our responsibility to not only provide for them but to teach them in our words and actions how to rise above the hardships that we encounter from time to time to eliminate any divisions that can cause a separation within the body. When we begin to look at every human being as a creation of God then this helps us to look past what we physically see and this displays to others in whom we believe.  

 I challenge every reader that reads this message to take a step forward in faith to break down the barriers which may be holding you back. Often all it takes is for one to make that first step in love to overcome where we have been and then to help others along the Way. Sometimes that first step that we take in humbling our self is all that is needed to set others free…amen 

 “But even more blessed are all who hear the Word of God and put it into practice.” Luke 11

There Are No Divisions In True Love

June 11, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

When we learn how to love for what is in us rather than for what we see is when we show others the proper way to believe. It is very important to remember that everything on the outside is always fading away while what we have on the inside should be growing stronger everyday.

 By learning to love one another for who we are under God teaches us to respect each person for the roll that each one of us carry. Not a one of us look the same, dress the same, talk the same, or may live the same but it is our place through Jesus Christ to love unconditionally no matter the differences we may have.

 Spiritually Satan wants us to see the differences in people on the outside rather than learning to love someone for who they are on the inside because he knows that true love is not divided. I challenge you today to learn to look through the spiritual eyes of God to learn how to love what God has before you instead of allowing Satan to spiritually overlook what could be right in front of you…amen

So many times in life we overlook the blessings that we already have because we are too busy chasing the wind…

Stand Upright And Bloom…

December 29, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 “The grass withers, the flower fades. But the word of our God stands forever.” Isaiah 40:8

 If you were to look at your life today as a plant which plant would best describe who you are? Are you a flower that makes other people smile,  a cactus that people want to only observe from a distance, or are you the strong oak tree that others lean upon in a time of need? 

 In the body of Christ we are all living plants that are given life in the breath of God. We all have a unique purpose to spread the seeds of love in the Word of God to help nourish others along the Way. It is very easy to look upon the differences within the body but until we learn to focus on ourselves and strengthen our own roots then our lives will serve no purpose and can eventually fade away.

 Don’t fall to thinking the cactus has no purpose because in a drought if the flower was to seek the cactus for advice the flower might learn how to survive to one day bloom again…amen

Look For Unity Not Division…

November 25, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in life to see the differences in people, but instead of looking at what divides us we should be looking for what unites us. Each one of us have something special to add to the overall picture of life once we learn our purpose through the love of Jesus Christ.

 Don’t ever think you can’t make a difference when you can! All it takes is a positive step forward in your life to impact the lives of others. I challenge you today and every other day to make a difference, and look for what unites us instead of what divides us…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…
