A Disciplined Tune Of God…

November 11, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

There is a disciplined tuning process required to maintain the note of every sound. Within every cord there is fine tuning that requires the eyes to see and the ears to hear. For an undisciplined instrument can not hold the music of God and handle the power within the cords as the vibrations begin to move the soul. There are many different levels of music which require different skills in order to experience the depths of sound.

As a symphony comes together there is a mutual respect among the group as they each learn to work together as one. Many people may never understand the parallel of a symphony to the family of God but when we learn to put aside our differences and recognize the talents of each individual instrument is when we can discover the momentum of God developing the music and driving the sound.

Please take a brief moment this morning to watch this amazing video of what happens when we come together to achieve a specific goal. This video teaches us a valuable lesson of the present sound reaching into the future without pointing fingers from the past in order to give something back in return….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnKJpYGCLsg

The Heart Of Man…

November 4, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

Within the process of time there is a distinct difference in the taste, texture and smell of something that is raised by God rather than something that has been raised by man. This is where many become lost in forgetting who gives life in order to grow and to mature the living plants that we are. All we can do is add some seeds and nutrients of love along the rows in the garden while we leave the rest to God through faith in order to witness the harvest.

Each individual plant within the garden has a specific purpose within the Kingdom of God and it is our place to recognize the hearts of each individual plant. There are God given talents in each one of us that have been specially formulated through time and it is when our eyes are opened to the Truth of God that we can discover our purpose. For when we overlook the heart is when we can miss the harvest…

The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7

Maturing Within The Garden…

November 3, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

The gift of being a parent parallels the responsibilities of a gardener. As a child is young they are very tender and need nurtured care. Then as the plant or child begins to mature we are to water them in the Word to strengthen their roots within our eternal foundation. The understanding of the pruning process in youth is a valuable lesson to learn. For if we give the miracle grow to an undeveloped child this often causes them to mature before their time.

There are always consequences to follow unnatural growth and the consequences often go unseen for many years due to our human nature of wanting things before we are ready to receive. Since the beginning of time in the Garden of Eden we can witness this message with Adam and Eve. This same parallel of a child can be compared to The United States of America and how we are now seeing the consequences of our overall disobedience due to chasing a dream without first understanding how to maintain what has been given.

There are principles within any garden in order to experience any type of harvest. It is when we neglect these principles of God that our garden’s and our children will struggle to produce future fruit. The object is to care for the garden that we have been given without neglecting our own. For when we don’t spend time in our garden is when the weeds can begin to grow and the serpents can begin to slip in.

If you were to look at your immediate surroundings today or lets say the temporary garden in which you have been given what would see? The garden first starts with our own temple which is our own body and then it reaches out to our homes, our careers and even in the church. I believe when we all begin to look at life as a garden that we will find that there is work that can be done. May I encourage you this morning to not sit on the porch to watch the weeds take over….For greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world….

Are You A Pioneer?

October 13, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

It is very wise to evaluate the mountains that you choose to climb and that you allow God to insure the steps that you take. As any athlete a mountain climber must prepare physically, mentally and most all spiritually before they begin their climb. Many people choose to climb the same mountains and follow the same paths that others have taken due to what they see and for the path of least resistance. The most awesome fulfillment is when we pioneer something totally new and discover new heights with awesome views and new treasures.

Mountain climbers that climb on the same trails require disciplined skills but the pioneers who see something new in a distance and follow their hearts often travel alone. Many people think that pioneers of new trails are alone but this is where they are wrong for it is God showing them the Way when it is something good to serve others. May I encourage you this morning to never give in to the path of least resistance if you feel God showing you something new. God will show you the Way and give you everything you need to reach your destiny. It might be lonely at first but as you step out in faith others will begin to see and then it is only a matter of time that others will join in as they learn to believe…

For what God brings us to He will deliver us through….Enjoy this song of worship by Rick Pino http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwZaz5AVoNY and I pray that you grab the hands of Jesus to show you the Way….

Stay In Tune With God….

September 30, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

The Lord plainly tells us how to recognize a false prophet or someone that claims to be a child of God by the fruit they bare. If there is no fruit then they are illegitimate children without the roots which keep them intact to feed the people. Many people talk the talk but there is a major difference in someone who walks the walk and those that raise themselves up into a position that is to be given by God.

God spoke to Moses and then instructed him to speak to Aaron in order to teach us how to recognize the Word of God that speaks through the leaders He raises up. Since the vale has been torn God now speaks in many ways that we often miss simply because we don’t know His Word. For how can we recognize the Word if we don’t know the Word and how can we see something if we don’t know what we are looking for? I urge you to to step out of the world in order to listen for the Truth. The longer we sleep the more we miss and the further we fall the harder the hit. If you recall the time frame of Eli and Samuel the lamp was dim without vision because the people had drifted away from God… May I urge you to hear the call and to recognize the signs for our children’s future….Enjoy this video by Lee Greenwood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q65KZIqay4E and may it inspire you to STAND UP in the Truth of God…

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…
