Real Change In Life

September 30, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in life to say we are going to change or fix a problem but the question is, “Do our actions follow our words?”  There is only one way to change or correct a problem and that is to reach the roots at the bottom and then work our way back up to the top! If we only work on the top then the change is only superficial because it will only last so long before the roots on the inside will overcome that which is on the outside.

 Sometimes in life we have to be on the bottom to even see our way back up to the top. Once we are on the bottom we study our roots and our surroundings in order to repair and build like never before in seeing not only where we went wrong but how to help others along the way… 

  There is only one way to examine our roots and that is with the light of Jesus Christ that exposes our wrongs to make them right. The foundation which we stand is not ours but our Creators’ in Heaven above. Once we learn our position in who gives and takes away it is amazing at the strength we gain once we learn to stand again with God guiding the way.

 We can speak change all day long, but if we do not do the work it takes in reaching the roots then prepare for the change to only last so long before the fall. I challenge you today and every other day to make positive change that will in turn help others in life throug hthe love of Jesus Christ…amen

Standing With Jesus…

September 25, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

It is so easy in life to stand in the crowd and conform to their ways but the real question is, do you know how to stand on your own under God without falling to the people or leaning upon someone else to get you through?

 So many times we go with the flow because we don’t want to go through the work it takes to stand for what is right by God and not right by man. Could you imagine what the crowd felt after they came off of that spiritual misguidance in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ? We all know what happened to Judas in his guilt and the fact of the matter is this,” Until we learn to speak the truth in love and stand our ground Satan is going to continue to misguide the people and our children are going to suffer for our tolerance in not knowing how to properly follow the Word of God.”

 There comes a point in life that every individual must learn how to lean on the Lord and stand firmly with Him as one in the love of Jesus Christ, for in the end there is only one way and no one other than Jesus can bring you through.

How To Listen For God…

September 23, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

When you really stop to listen what do you hear?

Can you feel the presence of God in knowing that he is near?

It is amazing at the peace we gain when we stop to listen and hear the music of God gently playing on our hearts from the moment we start.
 

 The Lord is with us and all around. But far too often we forget how to listen in knowing how to hear the Word through the True Kings Crown.

 Soft music that is played on our hearts is like rain drops from the angels in Heaven dropping like tears to the ground in barely making a sound.

 So often we want everything now but when we really listen to that gentle voice that is whispering on our hearts we can feel the hand of God in knowing that we are no longer bound.
 

 The Lords hand is so gentle and faint that His love travels through us in knowing that we are His saints.
 

 Fill me Lord with you presence and touch those that are willing to listen because there is nothing better than being in your arms when we learn to listen in making our lives glisten…Amen

True Leadership And Delegation

September 12, 2009 by admin 1 Comment

Have you ever really stood back and thought about the roll in leadership and how to advance within it?

 So often we see individuals that reach new positions in leadership but they forget how to train others to one day fill their position.

 True leadership is not something we should try and hang on to. For there is nothing more gratifying than training someone else for the position to one day receive some rest and possibly watch them do a better job in the future.

 When we study history we can find that every true leader that served the people did not seek their position and some even ran from their calling.  Also in history it is easy to see those that raised themselves up and eventually fell because they did not keep God in front while serving others along the way. 
 
 By majority our society has forgotten how to look for leaders and has fallen to grabbing hold of whatever can fill the position out of desperation instead of allowing God to raise our leaders among men that follow His will.
 
 You can see this desperation from politics, to Wall Street, to major corporations, and the list goes on and on even from many of our churches today. Many have fallen to putting their hope in man rather than in God in who gives and takes away. It is time that we come together as one and put God back in front of our lives for the sake of our children of tomorrow.
 
 The longer we avoid this truth then the further we are going to fall! Real Change is going to come and the question is what are we going to have to go through before we get there? God is our refuge and our provider for everything we need in life.

 It is very easy in life when we are struggling to try and hang on to anything that will possibly keep us a float. But there comes a time that we must stop to truly evaluate our circumstances and look beyond the immediate to see the future…amen

President Obamas Misguidance

September 5, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

 Over the past several months since President Obama has taken office America has encountered numerous issues with how our country is being led. Not only has this misguidance  affected America and other countries around the world the part that hurts me the most is how he is misguiding our children.

  No matter what we try to patch with money until we learn to get to the roots of the issue we will never correct the problem! As a leader in politics it is not our place to influence someone else’s children, but to do our jobs for what is right for the people. We have been given the Word of God and the church to teach our children morals and respect in loving one another through every circumstance in life which strengthens our homes for our children’s future.

 It is a leaders position to be an example in all situations while respecting each parent to do their job in properly raising their children. When a leader takes a position he must understand that there are some things he must sacrifice due to the influence it will have on those that are looking up to them and understanding that he or she is setting an example for our future leaders. In every position there is a certain amount of freedom with discipline that is required in recognizing  that due to our position we are not to go outside certain boundaries due to the negative affects that will follow and this is what every true leader should understand. There is to be order for the people which gives honor and security within our homes while holding ourselves accountable under God for what we have been given.

 Until this country returns to God and our leaders begin to acknowledge our Creator as our founding fathers did in the Declaration of Independence then this country is going to continue to fall into worse conditions due to our human pride in not accepting how we are all accountable for how we give back in what we have been given.

 America as a body has forgotten how to give as Abel in the book of Genesis in giving our best in what we have been given. As Cain, America as a whole has held on to the best for themselves in only giving what they want verses understanding how to give our all. Until America returns to its foundation under God and begins to work in serving one another verses ourselves then we will not see real change in America! Until then as our leaders continue to patch our problems while storing up the best for themselves then prepare for the blessings which was given to America to fade away. The Lord is calling and His children are crying and until we Wake Up the further America will drift out to sea…

 It is my sincere prayer that President Obama and every other leader begins to recognize the Truth in what is taking place in our government in order to stand again in rebuilding strength for our children’s future. We all make mistakes at times and don’t recognize how we are affecting others in our decisions, but all that matters is how we correct ourselves in order to set the right examples for the future generations. Our God is a merciful God that only wants us to recognize our position while seeking Him for the direction of our future…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…
