Deception Of The Devil…

January 12, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 So many times in life we make wrong decisions based on our emotions without properly thinking them through. Then we often allow Satan to cause us to be bitter, depressed, angry, unforgiving or just simply rude. 

 Throughout the Holy Bible the Lord tries to teach us to trust in Him but far too often when we fall to our flesh we make bad decisions that can not only bring pains for ourselves but they can also affect others. A good example of this is when God promised Abraham and Sara that they would have a son but they took matters into their own hands instead trusting in God to bring it all together. This bad decision brought strife into the family and gave undeserved hurt to a child that did not ask for what he received.

  When we ask God for something it is imperative to recognize that Satan can hear it too. This is where we must learn to be wise and trust in God because if we are not careful what we see on the outside may not be what want on the inside. Satan is very clever and he wants us to lose our focus in life and this is where I challenge you look beyond what you see towards Jesus Christ in whom we believe…

Serve Others First…

January 11, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 In the book of Genesis 13 Abraham taught us a true lesson in life that parallels the life of Jesus Christ. He and his nephew Lot were in a situation where the land could not support both of their families and their herds. Instead of allowing conflict to build between the families Abraham went to Lot and asked (him) to choose the land that he desired. Lot chose the one that appeared to be the better of the two and then moved on with no conflict within the family. But as time went on Lot soon realized that the land that appeared to be so rich was seriously infected. 

  Throughout the Word of God we are taught to place our desires behind others and when we don’t follow His Word then our life is nothing but a worthless fight. It is easy to see in our society today how many families are destroyed because they chase what appears to be better for themselves rather than sitting back as Abraham and trusting in God to work it all out. Lot faced a test in his decision to see how he would serve and like ourselves today we face the same test to see how we will follow.

  Life is a test to see how we will obey and the next time you face a choice I challenge you to put yourself last instead of first. Because the Lord tells us in Luke 13,” Those that are last will be first, and those that are first will be last.” Once you begin this process in properly serving others you will find that God will bless your life through the love of Jesus Christ…amen

Christianity In America…

January 9, 2010 by admin 4 Comments

 When you study the demographics of different religions in The United States of America you will find that the United States has more Christians than any other country in the world. Based on a previous Wikipedia poll completed in 2007 it showed that America consist of 76% Christian and the remaining percents are claimed by others who follow other beliefs or no beliefs at all.

 Based on this fact of America being 76% Christian why is that we have so much deception, dishonesty, greed, lust, unforgiveness, and lack of true love within the body of the church? Why is it that so many Christians have so much lack of code and honor in their way of life? Do we think just because we call ourselves Christians that we are excused from judgement and can live as we choose until we are called home? It is sad to see how so many Christians here in America have allowed the world into the church and fallen weak in faith to not stand up for what is right by God in our homes to keep this country intact.

 When you study the different religions you will find that a majority of other beliefs can stand together to accomplish a mission but when it comes to today’s Christians many just argue and dispute the Way that has already been given by God through Jesus Christ. Why is that Muslims can stand united with other Muslims but the Christians can’t even agree on which denomination properly sets them free? If there was anyone in this fallen world that has held true by majority and seeked peace in everything they do it is the Amish and the Mennonites that have clearly understood how to live in this world but not of this world. This is sad but true how so many in the Christian body have lost their unity and forgotten how to work together in serving God instead of serving themselves.

 Are Christians so blind and deaf here in America that they have forgotten how to recognize the Word of  God and forgotten how to respect each person for the roll that God has given?  This hurts my heart for what I hear and see not only as a Christian but as an American that understands how God gave us this country to be set free. Now with my new understanding in life through Jesus Christ I see how America has fallen to Satan in chasing their fleshly desires instead of trusting in God and allowing Him to supply us with our needs. Satan is very clever and has fooled many Americans as he once fooled Eve in the Garden of Eden. 

 It is in our human nature to want something before we are ready and to seek the easy route to achieve our goals but as we can now obviously see this is not the proper way to believe! Jesus plainly taught us when tempted by Satan to look past our immediate desires to understand the possible outcome before we make our decisions in life. He also taught us what would happen to our riches when we began to fill our own barns instead of helping others to build theirs to help feed others along the Way. America might look good from the outside but what good is it if we have nothing left on the inside? We all know what happens to the barn that has no inner strength to hold itself up, and it is my sincere prayer that every Christian here in America learns to put aside our differences for the sake of our children’s future.

 Our barn might be financially empty here in The United States of America but the pillars that still stand are the Christians that help hold this country together. For without Godly principles, discipline and order through the love of Jesus Christ this country would be no different than the others that have always wanted what we have. What we have is what God has given and anyone that tries to take it away is not working for God but working for Satan.

 Life is not about what we have on the outside but who we are on the inside. There is no competition in the body for every part learns to respect each part for the roll they carry while learning to serve each other along the Way. There is no excuse for sin as God told Adam in the Garden of Eden and there is no placing blame for what we know in our hearts to be true. So, I challenge each of you that may read this post to step up to the plate and begin to seek God’s will in your life and not your own  If you have something in your life and you know it is not right then fix it before it destroys you! God is real and knows your heart and soul so the real question is, ” Do you know who you are or have you lost sight of your purpose in life?”

 All it takes is that first step, and then every other step will gain momentum with strength once we commit to serving God instead of ourselves…amen

Stay Encouraged & Uplift Others…

January 8, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 So many times in life we become drained of our drive or become depressed because we rely on own strengths instead of learning to rely on the spiritual strength that God can give us when we trust in Him. In Nehemiah 8 the Lord says, ” Be not grieved or depressed, for the joy of the Lord is our strength and stronghold.”

 It is important to recognize how Satan wants to steal our joy because he knows that we gain strength when we have joy in our hearts. He wants us to be weak so that we will become vulnerable to the point that we will grab hold of whatever he puts before us. This is why it is vital to stay close in the Word of God and learn to trust in Him along the Way.

 Some days God will send us messengers to build us up in faith and to lift our spirits when we are feeling weak. And there are other days that He may send someone else in our path for us to encourage them when they are in need. I challenge you today and every other day to be strong in the Lord and to share the joy that God gives with others in your your path. It is our duty as a Christian to be an example in everything we do and allow the Lord’s light to shine through…amen

Victory Starts First In Our Belief…

January 7, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy to fall to Satan and allow him to breakdown our lines of communication in our homes, our careers, and even our relationships when we drift away from the Word of God. Many of us fall lazy at times and feel as if there is no use to carry on when we only rely on what we see instead of learning to trust in God to carry us forward. Instead of focusing on why something won’t work lets learn to focus on how something will work and allow God to bring it all together for His glory and not our own.

  I challenge you today and every other day to not allow Satan to hold you back! When we learn to look for how we are going to accomplish something then we are already on the Way to victory…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…
