Are you Being True In Your Actions

May 12, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 The other day I was speaking with someone and he shared with me how he was placed in an orphanage as a young child. He went on to share with me how his heart hurt from being separated from his family but the part that hurt him the most was when someone in the family would visit him and say these words, “I love you and stay strong.”  The reason this hurt him so bad is because he did not understand how someone could say these words but then leave him behind.

 Can you imagine a young child or even your own child in an orphanage without the love in the family? Can you imagine how hard this must be for children to hear the words of love but then see little to no action? Or, can you imagine what we are teaching our children when we don’t help someone in their fall?  To just say the mere words I love you is the easy part but it is what we show in our actions that truly shows the love that we carry.

 To love someone we are to go the extra mile for them and always put our own desires behind someone elses. Jesus taught us how to lead by putting ourself behind another and He truly demonstrated the power of God that is gained in love when we learn to serve one another. I challenge you today to go beyond the mere words in love and show someone that you really do care without expecting anything in return. If you know someone that is sick visit them. If you know someone that is in need then help them. If you know someone that would like to hear from you then contact them to show that you really do care…amen

 Don’t ever allow Satan to cause you to think you don’t have time because you could be missing a blessing when you leave someone else behind…

The Outside Will Reveal The Inside

May 11, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Have you ever been around someone that put emphasis on what they have or do on the outside instead of keeping the focus on who they truly are on the inside? Satan has done a good job misleading us in prestige and knowledge to the point that it has caused and still causing a division in the body of Christ. The holier than thou attitude and the prestige that many have fallen into is directly against what the Lord Jesus taught us in the Word of God.

 Nobody likes to hear someone else brag or boast because all this does is creates a negative chain reaction of Satan that can cause competition between people. When someone feels as if they can’t keep up then why would they want to keep going? Or, when someone feels as if they are above someone else then how would they properly be serving the people? 

 Everyone knows the lesson that Jesus taught when the disciples wanted to know who was better than the next. He, our Lord and Saviour, got on His own knees to serve while the others argued over their position. I challenge you to never be deceived by Satan in thinking that you are better than someone else nor don’t ever think that you can’t keep up because all this is is Satan trying to hold you down…amen

 We all walk together and go home together while truly loving one another in Christ…

Stay Connected In The Family Of God

May 10, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Don’t let your personal desires for approval, applause, and popularity to take you away from the humbled path of God. It is very easy when we are climbing the mountain with God to lose sight of how to make it to the other side. In our climb with God it is our place to help those that may be behind us as well as it is our place to encourage those that are ahead of us.

 The moment we forget how to connect in the family of God through the love of Jesus Christ is when we will get left behind. I challenge you today to never allow Satan to deceive you into thinking that you are better than someone else nor ever allow Satan to cause you to think that you are not good enough. What we have on the outside does not make who we are, for it is what we show in our humbled spirits that reveals the light of Jesus Christ…amen

There Is No Hope Without God

May 8, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 It is very easy to become discouraged when we look around and see everything that is being shown in this world. Everywhere we look we see earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, and people crying out in need with others so focused on themselves that they have fallen into greed. This world is at a pivotal point that is going to have a deep impact on our children if we do not learn to trust in God instead of leaning upon man. 

 There isn’t a home, a city, a state, nor a nation that is not feeling the judgement of God that is taking place around the world because of our lack of obedience in His Word and keeping Him in front of our lives. It is imperative to recall that judgement of God does not mean that He is inflicting our pains because we are the ones who have brought this upon ourselves by following our own desires instead of following the Lords will.

 Sometimes in life with children when they continue to disobey we have to allow something to take place in order for our children to receive the lesson that needs to be learned in correction for their future. This is where many people want to place blame on God or on something else because they fail to recognize how we are all accountable for our own actions.

 Throughout the Word of God in the Holy Bible we are taught to count it joy when trials come our way because this only means that something better is on the way when we learn to trust in God rather than falling into despair. Satan has been steadily at work since the very beginning of time in deceiving us to rely on ourselves rather than learning to be patient in growth that helps us to properly develop in our maturity.

 Spiritually Satan wants us to focus on the world rather than staying focused on God because he knows how weak we are in the flesh and how easily we can become distracted from the love of God that is given in the family. When we maintain our relationships with God at the head of our lives there is a security that we receive in the love that is given. Not only do we receive comfort in the family of God but we also receive peace in our spirit because we know that whatever happens in our lives that the true love in the family of God will never fail us even when we fall.

 There is no question that America along with other nations around the world are going to continue their downward spiral unless we repent and return to the Lord. Man cannot fix the problems that we have put into place due to the years that it has taken for all of this to build into what we are now facing today. Our only hope is in God and until we begin to seek Him for our direction and learn to trust in Him for the outcome our trials will only get worse.

 God allows us to go through certain things in our lives in order for us to learn how to depend on Him and for us to grow stronger for our children’s future. Each one of us are going through something either directly or indirectly and it is our purpose to never give up or lose hope no matter what we have to face. God will give us the strength that we need when we depend on Him rather than relying on ourselves and when we learn to act in true love with one another in the family of God we will be amazed at what can take place in the Spirit of the Lord. 

 Always know that God is still in control and He protects us even when we don’t understand everything that may be happening around us. We must learn to trust in God’s protection and deliverance by maintaining our integrity throughout tough situations to always do what is right by Him instead of only thinking about ourselves. So no matter how hopeless something may seem or how much we may want to give up we need to always recall that God is in control of the world and when we do our parts the Lord will always do His…amen

 For our God is a faithful and forgiving God that specializes in bringing His people back to Him through the love of Jesus Christ…

With God All Things Are Possible

May 7, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Don’t ever think that something can’t be done because the task is too big or the problems are too great! With this type of mindset we are already giving victory to Satan and doubting the Power of God. It is in our human nature to shy away from major problems because we don’t want to put forth the effort that it requires to overcome the issues that we may have to face.

 When we learn to rely on God instead of ourselves amazing things can take place that the world may say is impossible. The Lord specializes in things that we don’t see and all we have to do is learn how to truly believe. The object to moving mountains is in our belief and then learning to take them on one step at a time. I challenge you to learn how to trust in God and commit yourself to improve something in your life that will in turn improve something in someone else’s…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…
