God Still Speaks To Us Today

by Leave a Comment

  God still speaks to us today just like He did many years ago but due to our busy schedules and shallow minds we often miss the Truth that is being shared. In order to listen for God we have to learn how to shut off the world to hear what God places in our hearts and have the maturity to apply His Word to our lives so we can actually hear the message which needs to heard.

 Shutting off the world does not mean that we are to separate ourselves from the people. For Jesus taught us how we are to live in the world but not of the world in order to spread the gospel. It is very easy to miss something of the Lord when we are not looking for His instruction and confirmations in our life to carry us forward. I challenge you today to look beyond the what you think that you see and to recognize how the Lord just wants you to believe…amen    

Job 33:14 “For God may speak in one way or in another. Yet man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night when deep sleep falls upon men while slumbering in their beds. Then He opens the ears of men and seals their instruction in order to turn man from his deed and conceal pride from man.”

There Is Always Hope With God

by Leave a Comment

 Did you know that even when we are sitting still that we can either be growing or decaying? It is very easy to look in a mirror and see the physical changes in our life, but the real question is what do we see when we look in the mirror of God?

 If we can’t see daily growth in our spiritual maturity and we continue see the same issues without improvement then we really should look within ourselves to see what is holding us back. Everyday that we are given we should be growing stronger and wiser to recognize where God can use us in our future to make a positive difference without feeling like there is no hope. 

 As long as we have God there is Hope and as long as we commit ourselves to make a positive difference for someone else rather than ourselves then God will bless our future…amen

Connect Yourself In The Body Of Christ

by Leave a Comment

 It is very easy for us in our human nature when we are under pressure to make shallow decisions without considering the possible outcome in the future.  A person does not know what they will do in their pressures unless they know how to trust in God rather than in man. Our emotions and feelings are very deceiving when we do not know how to apply them to the Word of God and wait on Him to bring things together rather than trying to do it ourselves.

 When we do not know God and pressures come our way we often cave in when we don’t understand what is taking place. With God at our side not only do we learn how to stand but we also learn how to fall. For if we do not know when to step forward and when to take a step back then we are only setting ourselves up for a stumble in the future. 

 It is very important to surround ourselves with other brothers and sisters in Christ to help us in times of need. For as we learn to hold up the arms of one another when we become weak is how we learn to overcome our battles. I challenge you today to help hold up each other in the glory of God to gain strength and Victory for our children’s future…amen

Natural Gifts Of God

by 2 Comments

  One of the most important things about teaching is learning to recognize the natural strengths of each individual to help them develop their God given talents into maturity. Have you ever seen the difference between an artist that went to school to learn how to paint verses an artist that  was just born with a natural gift of God?

 Their is a distinct difference in the expression of the art between the two because you can feel the difference in the depth of the painting in the one born with the natural gift verses the one that was taught by man. It is the passion behind our goals that shows the depth of our picture in life and when we overlook those with natural gifts of God due to rules and procedures is when we so often miss what God has right before us.

 In today’s society many have become seriously blinded to the natural gifts of God in others due to their own fears and the amount of emphasis being placed on the accomplishments of man instead of seeing the accomplishments of God. It is very easy in our human nature to become blind when we place so much emphasis on the guidelines to follow along with the sins of others as the Pharisees did in the Holy Bible and Jesus warned us of this in order for us to maintain our Balance in life. The Lord gives us guidelines to follow but He also taught us how to be alert to our surroundings because we never know where God could be working next. 

 There is no better blessing in this world than to know that we played a roll in the Kingdom of God by helping His children discover who they are as child of God and develop the talents which the Lord provides to further His will and not our own. I challenge you to look beyond what you see in the physical to recognize what can take place in the spiritual to further the Kingdom of God for our children’s future…amen

 For we never know what God has right before us until we learn to look for God instead of man…

We Harvest What We Plant

by Leave a Comment

 Beware of false prophets who come disquised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. You can identify them by their fruit, that is by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? A good tree produces good fruit and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions. Matthew 7 

 I challenge you today to examine the fruit that you produce to insure the seed that is being planted. For what good is a tree that looks good on the outside if the inside is hollow with no core? The last thing that any of us ever want is to be chopped down and thrown into the fire…

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…
