Recognizing The Signs Of Change…

May 4, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in our human nature to allow change to upset us when we don’t understand what is actually taking place. There are many different types of change that we encounter in life but really you can sum them all up in two ways. One being external and the other being internal. External change happens in our life whether we like it or not where internal change happens only through our freewill.

 The object in life is to recognize change as it is taking place and learn to work within it without trying to restrict it. When we fight against change that is of natural progression than we are fighting against the will of God. As this takes place the signs of our fight become evident in our words and actions that can be easily seen. Another point to recognize are the signs of change that come due unnatural progression. For when we lose our perspective of God is when Satan spiritually slips in to deteriate what has been built. 

 Recognizing natural and unnatural progression is vital to mainatin and build upon what has been freely given. The next time you encounter some sort of nudge to change test it to the Word of God to see if God has placed it there before you to carry you forward or to recognize if Satan has there to hold you back…Amen

Has Satan Corrupted Your Mind?

March 8, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Don’t allow Satan to spiritually corrupt your mind and cause you to lose sight of who is in control. Because this is how Satan destroys many relationships by placing doubts and distrust in our spirits.  We can’t always control our understanding because we may not have all the facts and we can’t control what other people do or how they may treat us. However, we can control our choice to obey God.

 It is very easy in life to allow Satan to spiritually misguide us when we don’t have an understanding. The Lord plainly tells us that His ways are higher than our ways. So with this being said, the next time you think that you have something figured out take another look and learn how to apply God’s Holy Book! For way too many times we like to jump to conclusions without knowing the facts and this is how Satan causes division in the people. Don’t waste your time on something negative when you could be doing something positive to further the Kingdom of God in obedience to His Word.

 As Jesus said,”Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.”

Follow God & Don’t Be Misled!!!

February 21, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you considered the influence that the world can have on your life when you do not know the Word of God? Without the Word of God in our lives we are  void and shapeless in searching for something that we will never find until we discover the Lord. The world is very deceiving and without the discernment of having the Word of God planted on our hearts then we are vulnerable to the spiritual misguidance of Satan.  

 Society may pressure  us to conform to its way of life and thought but yielding to that pressure will (1) create confusion as to which side we should be on and (2) eliminate our effectiveness in serving God. Follow God by obeying His Word and don’t let the culture around you mold your thoughts and actions. For the world says one thing but God says another and the question is who do you prfer to follow?

Forgiveness Brings Restoration

December 21, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Learning to stand again when you have been stepped on by others that could not see and by those that failed to believe is taught in the life of Joseph with his own brothers as Joseph displayed his love for God by forgiving so the family could be reconciled. This same message was taught by Jesus at the cross which is recorded in Luke 23:34, “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”

 Is there someone in your life that you have not forgiven? Is there someone that has hurt you beyond human repair? Maybe your family is splintered due to the  lack of communication or jealousies that can develop from within. Are you harboring bitterness or anger due to some thing that happened in the past? Or, have you learned how to forgive and love for your family to steadfast?

 Spiritually Satan works in many ways to destroy the love between our family and friends. This takes place often because we allow our vision to be blocked by what we see and forget how to trust in God in whom we are to believe. We all experience pains and misfortunes in life but when we learn to take our shortcomings to the Lord is when our relationships can be restored.

 I challenge you to put your feelings aside and swallow your pride to feel the love of Jesus that is standing by. There is a point in life that we have to learn the art of sacrifice in order to receive the eternal rewards. Can you honestly tell me what is worth being separated from the love of God in your family and friends? Don’t allow Satan to rob you of the healing that comes in forgiveness and cause you to come up short in the End…

Stay Focused & Never Give Up!!!

February 2, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 In life it is very easy to speak when we know the answer and it is in our human nature to raise ourselves up to something that we might not be ready for. This is how Satan works because he wants us to jump before the time in our youth rather than waiting and trusting in God for His timing instead of our own. Have you ever made a decision and then realized you were not ready? Or, have you ever made a decision that failed but then as you walked on in life the Lord brought it back to you again?

  Just because we might not succeed the first time, the second or the third does not mean that we are to ever give up!!!  It just means that we need to just learn how to trust God in His timing instead of our own and learn from our falls to one day climb again but much wiser and stronger than before.

  I challenge you today and every other day to learn from your falls to see what you could have possibly been missing to insure your steps in the future. We all stumble at times when we get caught up in the climb and lose sight of the foundation from which we stand…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…
