Spiritual Fire…

March 5, 2012 by admin Leave a Comment

If you are on fire for the Lord and you meet someone in the darkness what would you expect to happen if you struck a match in front of their face? They will most often jump back but the question is will they return? Rather than striking a match to make them jump or feel uncomfortable allow them to simply feel the warmth from your heart which is the love of God reflecting through the light of Jesus Christ.

The love of God is what maintains the fire and the more we love Him the bigger the fire. This is where many people fail to understand what Jesus taught to the disciples in Matthew 10:16. He told them as they were going out to share the Good News, “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”

In other words we should be wise to the spiritual maturity of the ones around us without blowing them away. We are to feed them God’s Word in love and allow the Spirit of Truth to draw them deeper into the well. There is a balance between the fire and water required in witnessing and in discipleship and this where many divisions have occurred .

For the fire without the Word is like a well without water and the deeper we dig in the well the more springs we can discover. The object is learning how to swim in the Word from the shallow end to the deep end without leaving anyone behind…amen

Tapping The Well Of God…

July 13, 2011 by admin 1 Comment

 Many people fall into the traps of traditions and they basically stop seeking a deeper understanding in the love of God due to the extra effort that is required and the growing pains that come with maturing of new wine. This is why so many different denominations have been birthed within Christianity but unfortunately many have put caps on the well for they don’t want their flock to surpass the shepherd.

 Jacob addressed this same message in Genesis 29. For there were sheep thirsty and waiting at the well but due to the traditions and the extra effort required of the shepherds they were not willing to go the extra mile until they were challenged by Jacob to simply do what was right. Traditions can be good for God instructs us to establish certain days in order to recall our past and to give us appreciation for the future but if we are not careful traditions can trap us unless we are willing to seek the other side… For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed  and what tree can grow to its full potential when placing caps at the well??? Here is a song that will uplift you this morning Our God Is Greater have an awesome day!!!!

Are You Drinking From The Well?

June 22, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 In John 4 Jesus spoke with a woman at the well. This woman was a sinner and not looked favorably upon from the Jews due to her Samaritan race. This made no difference to Jesus in her background or her race for He saw a child in her that simply was in need of some relief and that was loved. As Jesus spoke with her He referred himself to living water and told her that she would never be thirsty again.

 Have you ever thought deeper on this message of living water? For in the living water of Jesus Christ there is a constant renewing of our minds and deepening of our souls. Like the old wine and the new fermenting wine there should be a constant cycle of transformation taking place within us that brings new life daily. Unfortunately many never get this message of daily transformation in the living water of Jesus Christ because they get to certain point and simply quit seeking and being open to receive something more of God.

 May I challenge you this morning to go to the well in the Word of God and seek daily for something more in the love of Jesus Christ. For the more we seek the more that we shall find when searching in the will of our Heavenly Father….

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…
