Survival Steps To Successful Steps

August 15, 2009 by admin 1 Comment

Special Delivery Book

Throughout our steps in life from our youth, and to our adulthood we are faced with many decisions that can affect our future. When an individual does not understand how to  trust then history will only repeat itself. So many times in life we try everything but the right thing because we don’t understand how to let go of ourselves and look within the Word of God for the answers we need to truly succeed. One of the hardest parts in life is admitting that we can’t do it on our own or that we simply screwed up. But there comes a point in every humans life in order to overcome our downfalls we must humble ourselves to admit the truth in order to stand again.

Always know this,”That when every child of God falls that He is there to pick us back up when we return to Him through Jesus Christ in understanding where we went wrong.” Our Father in Heaven never moved from His Word and it is up to us to trust in Him to carry us forward from one generation to the next. What would life be without trust?

There is a peace that is gained in sincere trust once we realize that we can’t do it on our own. It is very easy in life to patch our problems or try and sweep them under the rug, but always remember until we learn to face our issues in life then history will only repeat itself….

The Art of Spiritual War

August 12, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 If the Lord was to reveal to us our future steps then He would be revealing His plans to the enemy. It is our job to walk in faith and trust in God for every step that He gives. Many people in the carnal mind can’t understand this because we are not the enemy but we are still in the flesh. We must recall that Satan knows our weaknesses and when we open the door to worry and doubts then we are only giving Satan the tools to destroy what we know to be true. Why do we need to know how we are going to make it in this world when we have already made it to the next? Just walk on while standing on the Truth and applying it to your steps in life with Jesus Christ…   

 We never know how things are going to work out or what we may go through in life but one fact is this, ” Until we learn to trust God and not man, history will only repeat itself.”

Spiritual Demons That Dwell Within

August 8, 2009 by admin 1 Comment

 In life there are two parts being one physical and the other spiritual. On the spiritual level it never stops while the physical has its limitations. The Lord has revealed to me this understanding in how we are infected with spiritual demons that are passed from one generation to the next. Many of us at times face different spiritual demons in our life that lead us to destruction in many ways. Some of the demons that dwell within us can be obvious while others can be so disquised that we can’t recognize them until it is too late.

 Some demons of Satan are of power, some are of lust, some are of hatred, some are of selfishness, some are of pride, some are of envy, some are of greed, and there are many others that lead us to destruction. Everyone faces spiritual temptations in this physical life but it is what we do with these temptations that determine the path that we take on. It is so easy to fall to sinful desires because it is part of our human nature and this is why the Word of God is so critical to understand and to follow through the love of Jesus Christ.

 Until we learn to look at ourselves in the mirror of God and face what we carry inside by realizing that there is much more to life than what we see then our lives only go in circles in the wilderness of this fallen world because we never face the truth that sets us free…

 I am here to tell you that Heaven and Hell are real and I pray to God that every lost soul returns to the truth. It is easy to get lost at times and try everything we can to find our way back home in the darkness of this world but there comes a point when we must just stop and listen to hear the call that needs to be heard in helping us return to the path that we were once on….amen

The Old Church to The New Church…

July 18, 2009 by admin 2 Comments

Where did the church as a whole go wrong, many denominations are asking?

Why are many denomination’s like the Baptist, the Methodist, the Presbyterians, the Catholics and many others struggling in growth while the new church is growing in leaps and bounds?

Where is the voice that the church once carried in our homes, in our schools, in our work place and even in our nation?

 Well, I can tell you many of these answers because the Lord has given me the spiritual understanding and the wisdom to share this in another light that will open the eyes and ears to help us move forward from where we are today. In one instance of many,  the old church set too many man made rules in place which has restricted the Spirit of God while becoming complacent in their ways to not see the future. Over the years of the old hellfire and brimstone teaching, many failed to teach the difference in loving the sinner but how to hate the sin. This caused many church going children to rebel once they were out from under their parents who forced the church upon them.  While on another note many who wanted to attend the church were discouraged for how the church portrayed themselves above the sinner for they failed to understand the meaning of Jesus saying, “ I have come to not call those who think they are righteous but those that know they are sinners.” 

 Over the years one of the hardest parts in leadership is learning how to pass on the candle to the next ones in line that the Lord has placed before them to uplift the next generation. Because of these fears and selfish desires many in leadership have held on to their positions for too long in losing the interest of the youth while not recognizing how God is working in the next generation. There are two parts of scripture which back this up from the old church in not knowing how to move forward and one is with Moses only going so far and then Joshua carrying out the mission. While the other part is in the lesson of Eli and Samuel which teaches us to keep our eyes and ears open to the Word of God speaking through the youth at heart while trying to touch the old but the child within. It is very easy in life as we grow old to miss where God is speaking if we don’t keep ourselves in tune. 

   On the other hand the new church has gone completely opposite in a form of rebellion towards the old church. By allowing more freedom in the church which is causing many to get caught up in the emotions instead of understanding the purpose of order and discipline which teaches us how to stand on our own with the Lord in front. The new church by majority is not speaking out against sin as it should while forgetting the importance of the foundation in the word of God.  This has opened the door to Satan in many ways in causing confusion in the emotions of the spirit for not knowing how to discern between the two. There are two parts that are vital to understand in the house of God and one is recognition of the spirit and the other is the peace in knowing there is no confusion because of the order in the church. This time period of the new church is also backed up in the Word of God in the life of Nebuchadnezzar who once new God but forgot Him over time as he fell to himself in drifting away from what he once knew.

 There are no divisions in the house of God and every single person has a purpose in the kingdom. These past divisions have restricted the power of God in our lives, in our church and even  in our nation because we have forgotten the overall eternal goal. By all of this taking place we have lost our vision and direction in the wilderness but it is time for us to cross to the other side! It is never too late as long as we have breath and all things are possible with God!

 Always remember there is complete order, discipline and respect in the Word of God in the freedom which we have been given and we are to learn how to move when He opens the doors without trying to open them ourselves! If the old church and the new church do not come together in the common denominator of Jesus Christ then the overall church body is going to continue to struggle while this world only continues to grow darker because we have forgotten how to live in the freedom which the Lord has given. It is my heartfelt prayer that the church Wakes Up To This Truth For Our Children’s Future!!!

Where Are The Men of God?

June 24, 2009 by admin 3 Comments

 Where are the men of God that once stood with the armour that did not fall weak and remained strong? I can remember a time when men of God stood boldly and declared the Word of God as the Truth and the light to anyone that is misguiding our children and now where are they? Are they asleep? Are they too concerned of persecution? Or, are they to worried about what they may lose?

 Being a man of God does not mean to lay down and be tolerant of sin but to stand strong in the armour of God without waver from the Truth! In order for us to regain what we have lost we must unify in the body of Christ to serve and obey in what is right for our childen of tomorrow! For Jesus plainly tells us,” Those that lead my children astray might as well put a millstone around their neck!” 

 Our country as a whole has fallen to sin because men have forgotten how to work together in the body in understanding their position under God. Many of our leaders and fathers have become lazy, tolerant, blind, deaf, and too secure in their material life to risk losing what they think they own instead of speaking what is right by God and wrong in sin. If men do not begin to come together as one and stand up in faith with Jesus in their hearts in what is right by God, then what do you honestly see in the future for our children of tomorrow?

 We must come together within the Christian body to gain strength and a unified voice that will tremble this earth within the POWER of God in the Holy Spirit!!! If we do not do this then we will only continue to suffer while others will fade away in all the darkness that is surrounding us in this fallen world.

 So what if we lose our lives or everything we have! For with God we have everything and without Him what do we really have? There is great Honor in the Kingdom of God to those that understand the true meaning of putting ourselves second to others instead of first. This is not about disorder but about giving direction to rebuild this nation on the foundation of God while acting in the love of Jesus Christ. There comes a point in every Christian that we must say, ” Enough is enough and what  you are doing is not right by God and hurting the people!”

 John Adams once said,” We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our constitution was made only for moral and religious people. It is inadequate to the government of any other.”

 George Washington once said, ” It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”

 Men of God need to stand up for our children’s future and put aside our personal desires for the sake of others. It is my prayer that we come together as One Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice For All!!! 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…
