Where Is Your Security?

September 1, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 It is wise in the physical being to establish a plan with provisions before we step out into the world. In the eyes of man we don’t understand how to place our security in something that we do not physicaly see. Throughout the Word of God we are taught to have faith in God and that He will provide our needs when we are called to serve Him rather than serving ourselves.

 Can you imagine what someone would say to Jesus today if He called their name and said,” Drop what you are doing to follow me?” Can you imagine what those around you would say to you if you were to take that step of faith? So many times we miss what God has before us because we place our security in this physical world instead of trusting in God to give us what we need to move forward.

 I leave you this morning with a question upon your heart to insure the security that you have. If everything in the world was to disappear today would you be able to sit under that oak tree and whistle Dixie if you were all alone?      

When we begin to trust God for what we do not see is when God often shows us something that we never expected…amen

Steps Of Faith

August 31, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 In life we all take steps of faith whether we know it or not. As a child we walk in steps of faith relying on those to properly guide us in love and as we mature we are to leave that umbrella that is held up by others to learn how to hold one up on our own. In business we take steps of faith in trusting that those around us will do their jobs in order to fulfill the service or product that we may provide.

 One of the most important things to ever confirm is that God is in front of the steps that we take to insure the path that we are on. For when God is not the one guiding our direction then our steps of faith become steps in the flesh and these steps are destined to fall…

There Is Liberty & Freedom With God

August 30, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 In this life we may face many injustices and things which we do not understand. We may even be falsely accused or misunderstood by our family and friends. There will be times that we may feel unappreciated for the love that we show and times that our ideas may be completely ignored. But there is one thing that we all should remember and that is to praise God in the days that we are given for He sees and remembers all the good that we do.

 It is up to the Lord to decide the timing and the appropriateness of our rewards. Because if we do not put our trust in Him to vindicate us in His timing and not our own then we are setting ourselves up spiritually for Satan to take us down in hatred or in self pity. It is vital to recognize that our rewards do not come in this life for the ones that we receive here are only the blessings that God gives with the intentions for us to bless others.

 When we learn to place our trust in the Lord is when we can begin to experience the peace that comes only from God. Not only will we experience this peace but God will also set us free from the worries of how others may perceive us when we learn in whom to believe. This is true freedom and liberty that is only given by God and can not be achieved by man…amen

Are You Feeling Pressured?

August 27, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in the flesh to measure ourselves through our accomplishments in the world but in the Kingdom of God true greatness is determined by the level of service that we provide to others. Spiritually Satan is very active in our achievements because he knows how we tend to forget who got us to where we are and how we tend to compare ourselves to the standards of the world. Another reason that Satan is very active in this area is because he knows the weakness in our human nature when we allow the pressures of achieving a goal to rob us of who we are or who we can be.

 Pressures often cause us to make wrong decisions, fall into depression, and they even increase our anxieties when we do not know how to trust in God. For there is no pressure with God but only peace in knowing that if it is in the Lords will then it will come to pass in His timing and not in ours. If you are feeling pressured today I challenge you to take a step back and ask God to give you the peace that you need to understand where you are. For when we understand where we are is when we can begin to plan for where we are going…amen

Pray For Direction

August 24, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever thought about the moment that Christ returns and how He would witness us handling ourselves? We all encounter different test daily that should be helping us to grow closer to the Lord rather than acting out in our human nature. Our emotions are very hard to control when we do not understand what the Word of God is teaching in self control and trusting in God rather than in man.

 The Lord wants us to be alert in our daily lives in everything we do. When we drift away from God it is very easy to allow the pressures of this world to restrict our vision. When we stay close to God He helps us to maintain the attention that is required and He can give us the direction we need to overcome our struggles. I challenge you to take the time daily to pray to God for your direction and to ask God to give you the peace in where you are to insure where you are going…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…
