Satan In The Mind…

January 6, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 We have all heard the saying that an idol mind is the devils workshop but why is it that we often fall to Satan and allow him to rob us of what we know in our hearts to be true? Is it because we spend too much time focusing on someone else instead of learning to stay focused on ourselves? Or, is it that we don’t know how to trust in God and we try to hold things together on our own?

 We all have spent wasted time on the what ifs with Satan when we allow him in our minds to cause doubts and fears of what might be ahead. Jesus taught us in the boat to have faith and not to worry about what we may see for all things are possible to those which believe. To mature in our faith we must learn that this life is not for our desires of the flesh but learn to appreciate what God gives while trusting in Him to bring it all together.

 I challenge you today and every other day to analyze your thoughts that pop up in your mind before you act. By learning to recognize what we receive  in our thoughts will help us to insure the seed that we plant. For not all seeds need to be planted and if we are not careful when we act before we think then the next thing we know is that seed could sprout into a weed and cause us not to succeed. Analyze your thoughts to insure your steps and learn to seek God for the direction to always show Jesus in your reflection…amen

Living Free Under God…

December 28, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 James 4:17  “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.”   

 So many times in life we know what needs to be done but we allow Satan to hold us back because we don’t want have to face the immediate results instead of looking at the future outcome. When we hold back what we know in our hearts then we are only allowing Satan to dig a deeper well for us to climb out of. The object is learning to seek God for the timing to address and trusting in Him to bring it all together. 

 It is very easy to fall complacent and give in at times to something that we know is not right by God and still think that we will be excused. But what we need to asking ourselves  is this,” What if it is not?” A child of God knows when they are doing wrong by the conviction of the Holy Spirit and if we want God to bless our lives then we need to follow His Word and strive to do good in everything we do. i

 There is nothing worse in this world than to live with a conviction of the Holy Spirit and try to hide our issues that we may carry. When we learn to humble ourselves and do what is right by God then there is a freedom in life that we will receive through Jesus Christ. I challenge you today and every other day to not live in a spiritual prison and allow Satan to rob you of the peace that you can have…amen

Debt And Deception In America

December 12, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 Over the last 40 years America has really allowed Satan to rob us of the freedom which we have in this country by chasing our dreams and becoming enslaved to the lender. Many people have been deceived by a generation of Americans that left God by chasing selfish desires and allowing themselves to become consumed with easy finance to a point that has misled many children, taken lives, divided homes, and suppressed America in a national debt that is  robbing us of our freedom in life. Finance is good when we keep it in balance, but as Jesus taught us when tempted by Satan we are to look beyond our desires to insure not only the possible outcome but most of all our children’ s future.

 God teaches us in the Holy Bible not to act on our emotions while Satan on the other hand wants us to jump before we are ready. When we don’t properly understand the biblical principles in the Word of God and difficult times fall upon us then Satan knows that we will grab a hold of anything to stay afloat. This spiritual tactic of Satan has misguided many people to prey on the weak for selfish desires instead of doing what is right in properly caring for the people.  

 Throughout the Holy Bible we were taught to be patient and to wait on God for He knows what is better for us than we know for ourselves. But by our country falling weak in our Christian faith this has allowed the secular world to misguide our country to a point that our children are losing more and more of their future freedom every day. It is easy to see Satan’s plan over the last 40 years by first consuming the people to chase their dreams and then allowing our own greed to lead to a corporate model that is destined to fall. Now due to this financial deception, Satan is hard at work within our own government to take over more and more of the free enterprise because many of us don’t even see how our country is falling deeper in debt to the point that we are all becoming slaves to the lender.

 Debt creates a drive to reach different levels in life but when we don’t understand the Word of God our debt can become a burden that will rob us of our purpose in life through Jesus Christ. Always know what may look good to the eye at first may not always be the road we need to travel. Because it is what we can’t see that will get us every time when we step out in our emotions instead of trusting in God to bring it all together...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…
