Follow God…Not Man…

October 21, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

There is an interesting lesson in Numbers 22 with Balaam and the donkey that is still relevant today when we seek the spiritual meaning in the message of God. Balaam was a man that had a relationship with God and he was approached by Balaks men in order to entice Balaam to come against what God was taking forward. When Balaam was approached by these men he then seeked God for his direction but the Lord plainly told Balaam not to go.

Balaks men then left but only to return to Balaam with more enticement in order to move him from the decision which was already made. The beautiful part about this lesson is how God teaches us that when we come against something of God we better prepare for the road ahead. The road will narrow and sometimes it can come up to a dead end. The object in life is to recognize the road we travel to insure that we reach our eternal destination.

It is my prayer this morning that you are not swayed by the world and that each of you know the path in which you travel. For if your path is drying up and the walls seem to be coming in may I encourage you to seek God for your direction to insure that you have not been misled in order for the river of God to carry you forward. It is when come against something of God that curses will follow as we can witness the decrease of the river because we are traveling the wrong way.

Here is an awesome worship song this morning by Rick Pino called the Narrow Road  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUzXKQb1VG4  I pray that you take the time to stop and listen…

God Is The Way & The Road Is Narrow…

October 14, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Picture yourself being at the foot of a mountain standing next to a creek and looking up to see everything in the world from good to evil. The evil has now disguised itself in the world as a ‘chameleon’ snake which changes its colors to adapt to the environment. We can now see how the snake has infected many homes many churches many work places many schools and many leaders. This infection of the snake has spread its venom to a point that we see many struggling due to the lack of true love being shown.

This is where we praise God in the valley as we begin our journey to climb. Because it is when God gives us the eyes to see and the ears to hear that we can learn how to reach our destination. Here is a piece of wisdom to always recall as you begin your climb,”Sometimes we have to be at the bottom to see the Way back up to the top. Because once we begin to ascend we then have to rely on the guide to show us the Way. Along the Way we have to learn how to follow our hearts and learn to discern between good and evil. For the evil is there to hold us back due to the Kingdom impact. The object is to never lose our perspective in the climb and to learn how to be wise as a serpent but gentle as a dove.”

One of the most awesome things toi ever discover in this life is to walk with Jesus as God shows us the Way. May I encourage you to take a moment today to analyze everything around you and in you to insure that there is nothing hindering your climb nor someone else’s. Climbing on the mountain of God is an awesome experience as we learn how to work together in serving one another…Enjoy this song The Narrow Road http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUzXKQb1VG4 by Rick Pino and I pray that you seek God for every step that you take as you discover your purpose in life through Jesus Christ….

Are You A Pioneer?

October 13, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

It is very wise to evaluate the mountains that you choose to climb and that you allow God to insure the steps that you take. As any athlete a mountain climber must prepare physically, mentally and most all spiritually before they begin their climb. Many people choose to climb the same mountains and follow the same paths that others have taken due to what they see and for the path of least resistance. The most awesome fulfillment is when we pioneer something totally new and discover new heights with awesome views and new treasures.

Mountain climbers that climb on the same trails require disciplined skills but the pioneers who see something new in a distance and follow their hearts often travel alone. Many people think that pioneers of new trails are alone but this is where they are wrong for it is God showing them the Way when it is something good to serve others. May I encourage you this morning to never give in to the path of least resistance if you feel God showing you something new. God will show you the Way and give you everything you need to reach your destiny. It might be lonely at first but as you step out in faith others will begin to see and then it is only a matter of time that others will join in as they learn to believe…

For what God brings us to He will deliver us through….Enjoy this song of worship by Rick Pino http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwZaz5AVoNY and I pray that you grab the hands of Jesus to show you the Way….

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…
