Without Roots There Is No Balance…

August 10, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Learning how to stand as an infant is something that comes in strength and in courage. There are fears at first and even some scars from our falls but when we trust in our Father’s hand that is there to catch us in our falls is when He will hold us up above all.

Being rooted in the love of God is vital to maintain our balance in this evil world. For if we are not deeply rooted when the winds of sin blow our way then don’t be surprised if you fall under the pressures of this world. Our root system is vital to maintain and should always be growing deeper in God’s Word. For what good is a tree without roots or how long can a tree stand with roots that are not moist but dry?

Stand Strong With God…

June 9, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Are you planted in the Word of God or do you sway however the winds of the world may blow? Our life can be compared to a tree that is planted in a pot when we are not rooted  to the source that holds us up. Think about it! A tree in a pot can only grow so much due to the restrictions of the vessel and another wise point to capture is how a tree in a pot has to rely on others to feed it because it never taps the eternal food source.

 If you were to look at your life today as a tree, where would you find your roots drawing their nutrients from? Would you find that your tree is resrticted due to the walls of the box that you live in? Or, would you find that your tree is healthy and reaching out daily to the light of Jesus Christ to grow stronger than before? In everyday that we are given we should be striving to increase our root system with the Lord to withstand the elements of this world. For there is nothing like learning how to stand on our own and knowing who holds us up…Amen

The Roots Of The Heart…

April 8, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very wise to know the words that you speak and the roots of where they come from. For if you are not willing to examine the roots of your heart then that means something is still standing in the way. Until we learn to be transparent in the Word of God and be completely honest with ourselves then we can be restricting the blessings of God that can come on earth as it is in Heaven.

 Too many times due to our own distrust of God we allow the serpent to rob the seeds that are planted. Like a chicken snake that sneaks in to rob the eggs from the coup so does Satan sneak into the house of God to rob someone of the young that is being born. They due this through deception, lies, disbelief, jealously, anger, and simply due to their own lack of a relationship with God. Why would someone do this you may ask? The reason is simple, since they don’t have God they don’t want someone else to have Him either!

 Many times people don’t even know how Satan is spiritually using them to restrict another and this is where we all must open ourselves up to the Word of God to be real in order to prevent the snake bites from within the body. Satan does not want us to have unity because of the power that comes in one spirit. Until we learn how to face the snakes in love and shake the snakes that have bitten we will only continue to miss the boat to the other side.

 This message does not only apply spiritually to the family of God but it stands true in our homes, our work and in our nation. It is my prayer that we all learn to stand with God in the love of Jesus to maintain the freedom and security that He provides…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…
