Don’t Close Your Door…

December 2, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 When we have been given something by God then we are to never give up or waver on what we know in our heart to be true. It is very easy to give up on something or someone and close the door when we feel there is no use. But since when did our Father in Heaven close the door on us? What does this teach our children when we don’t give our all in everything we do or lead by proper example?

  1 Corinthians 13  “Love is patient and kind. Love is never jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love Never Gives Up, Never Loses Faith, Is Always Hopeful, and Endures Through Every Circumstance.

 There is always a way when we look for the light, but it is when we fall to the darkness of this fallen world that we become blind in our path. We might not always get what we want when we want it but we must always have faith in the love that we know in our heart. It is our duty as a true Christian to never give up and be an example for others in everything we do to allow the love of Jesus to shine through.

 Sometimes in life we have to set something free to allow it to come back again, and if it returns then we know it was meant to be. Lets praise God today for never closing the door on each of us and sending us His only Son Jesus Christ to show us the Way to live again…amen

Freedom With God…

December 1, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 One of the hardest parts in life is learning when to let go and allow God to be fully in control. There is freedom beyond comprehension when we learn to trust in God and allow Him to bring things together. It is in our human nature to hang on to what we see but there must come a point that we learn how to properly believe.

 It is when we learn to trust in God and put Jesus in front of everything we do that our walk of life will improve and we will have peace in our struggles. Do you know how to trust in God today? Or, are you making decisions being totally reliant on yourself or on someone else’s instruction? It is wise to consult with another believer that has experience to help you through but never make a decision without seeking God first in everything you do…amen

Make Decisions In Faith Not Fear…

November 30, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in life to make a wrong decision when we allow our pressures or our emotions to control our actions. Over the years of drifting away from the true Word of God many people have forgotten how to trust in the Lord and have taken matters into their own hands. When we act on our emotions without trusting in God then there is always some consequences to follow. This was taught throughout the Holy Bible, and many of us can relate to this same message today.

 Whenever we make decisions we should first seek God for our direction and consult with wise council to give confirmation of the steps that we are about to make. Never should we allow fear to drive our decisions, for then we are allowing Satan to spiritually control our actions. I challenge you today and every other day to seek God first before you act, and learn to trust in Him for the direction you need to take. For when the Lord brings something together, no man can take it apart…amen

Our Offspring In Life

November 19, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

Here is something the Lord gave me the other morning in prayer and I pray that it touches you as it touched me;

 We come from the dirt and we will return to the dirt. We are no different than an acorn that falls to the ground. Our seed takes root and then grows to a tree before being set free.

 Our spirit will either be condemned to the earth or we will be set spiritually free when we properly believe. The seed that we produce needs to be examined to insure the longevity of the tree. For if the tree that we reproduce does not know how to properly believe or better yet even how to stand then how do we honestly expect our offspring  to carry on in the tree of life which is given through the blood of Jesus Christ?

 There is much to be said in this message above and I pray that you hear what is being said. Over the last 40 years our society by majority here in America has lost sight of our purpose in which this country was given. This country was given by God and all good things come Him above. America needs to return to our roots in Christianity to rebuild what God has given and to help our children of the future.

 I challenge you today and every other day to examine the seed that you plant to insure the longevity of what you build to show the light of Jesus in whom you know…amen

Don’t Allow Satan To Hold You Back…

November 13, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in life give Satan victory when we become stuck in our circumstance or in our past sins by allowing them to define who we are. Don’t ever look down upon yourself for where you have been or for where you may be, because none of this matters when you have been truly set free.

 It is what we (learn) from our past that will define who we are in the future, and our lessons in life will give us the strength to overcome our future.

 Our trials in life whether directly or indirectly are there to make us stronger, and to teach us how to help others that may be facing the same circumstances in life. By trying to hide our past this only covers up who we really are, and this allows Satan to rob us of the joy that we have in Jesus Christ. I don’t know about you, but I refuse to give satan victory in my life, and allow him to work through someone else in trying to rob me of the love that I know in my heart!

  I challenge you today to be happy with who you are and praise God for what He has brought you through! Don’t allow Satan to rob you of your joy in learning to just appreciate where you are rather than worrying about where you want to go. There is a great peace in being happy and content within yourself and this void can only be filled with the light of Jesus in the darkness of our fallen souls…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…
