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

Stay Strong & Walk In Faith…

November 28, 2009 by admin 4 Comments

 In life it is normal due to our sinful nature to become weak in the flesh and have doubts in what we physically see. Our worries and doubts don’t come from God, but from Satan in wanting to hold us back from the blessing or blessings that the Lord has placed in front of us. Throughout the entire Holy Bible we are taught  of many faithful individuals who had doubts like Moses, Sara, Abraham, Gideon, Zechariah, and even the Israelites. But through their faith in God they believed in Him to bring them through and they did not become stuck in their circumstances which they had to face.

 When you believe in your heart that the Lord can give you what you need then learn to trust in Him to deliver you to the other side. For it is when we fall to the flesh in being consumed within our issues that we can become unproductive in what we have to do. We all have a purpose and a specific talent which has been given by God and it is our job to align our hearts and use our talents to serve Him the best we know how.

 As we go through life it is not our job to worry about how something will come together. It is our job to do the work and allow the Lord to supply our needs in His timing and not in ours. Never force something or feel pressured, but always follow what you know is right by God within your heart and do the work it takes to get the job done. It is normal in this life to have doubts , but don’t allow your doubts to cause you to miss something in God’s glory! Always believe and trust in the Lord to give you the wisdom and strength in the spirit to help you succeed.

  It is when we take steps on our own without trusting in God that we are destined to fall. No matter what you are facing or going through learn to look up and never look down! As Solomon said in Proverbs 3:6  Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take…amen

Stay In Balance…

November 27, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 In life it is very easy to become blind when we have the eyes to see, and it is also very easy to become deaf when we have the ears to hear… Everyday we are faced with different trials, different objectives and different circumstances  that  can cause us to be imprisoned within our own life instead of enjoying the freedom that we have in the spirit of God through Jesus Christ.

 When we become so busy or so focused on our own objectives that we can’t hear or see the love and the needs that are all around us, then we need to take a step back in order to maintain our balance in life. It is Satan’s goal to restrict us to the point that we can’t see past our own lives to the lives of others, and when we become so wrapped up in ourselves then we are being robbed of the love that needs to be shared.

  Life is not about what we want or what we gain in this world as Adam displayed in the Garden of Eden, but about what Jesus taught us in how we are to live in the freedom which God has given and how to help others along the way. We all have our own issues and go through different trials in life in order to learn how to help someone else in theirs. I challenge you today and every other day to not be so consumed in your life that you can’t help or encourage someone else in theirs. We never know what that one word of encouragement can do for someone else when we allow the love of Jesus to shine through…amen

Thank God For The USA…

November 26, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 I thank God today for giving us life and the freedom which we still have here in America today. Did you know that 52 of the 55 signers of The Declaration of Independence were deeply committed Christians? The other  three all believed in the Holy Bible as the divine truth, the God of scripture, and His personal intervention. It was also the same congress that formed the American Bible Society and immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence , the Continental Congress voted to purchase and import 20,000 copies of scripture for the people of this nation.

 Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote on the front of his Holy Bible,” I am a Christian, that is to say a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our Creator and, I hope, to the pure doctrine of Jesus also.”

 Here is a little more history for this day of Thanksgiving of our first Court Justice here in the United States of America, John Jay. He stated,” That when we select our national leaders, if we are to preserve our Nation, we must select Christians. Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian Nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”

 There is no doubt of our Christian heritage here in America with how our ancestors truly demonstrated the meaning of Matthew 16 when they left Great Britain to form this beautiful nation and we all need to come together again under God for our children’s future. I praise God today for His “Amazing Grace” in giving us such a beautiful place to live and having the freedom to worship our savior Jesus Christ. May God bless you and your family today and let’s join together in praying for God’s mercy and direction for our country’s future … amen

Look For Unity Not Division…

November 25, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in life to see the differences in people, but instead of looking at what divides us we should be looking for what unites us. Each one of us have something special to add to the overall picture of life once we learn our purpose through the love of Jesus Christ.

 Don’t ever think you can’t make a difference when you can! All it takes is a positive step forward in your life to impact the lives of others. I challenge you today and every other day to make a difference, and look for what unites us instead of what divides us…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…
