In The Evil Day, Stand

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Blessings, in the love of God

The Fruit Of Eating Too Much

OK, I went and did it. I ate way too much dinner and am reminded of why I don't like to eat too much. Considering I skipped breakfast (dumb), didn't eat lunch (even dumber) maybe that's why I put three plates away at dinner. Ouch! Way too much food. I am reminded of the many posts I have written about balance, living a healthy life and taking time. Hypocrite, as it seems that my flesh just got the best of me. OK, I will repent, right after a bowl of ice cream.
 
It is written that the spirit and the flesh war one against the other. Right now there's a war going on in my stomach which is the consequences of missing two meals while trying to make up for them all in one. As our pastor would say: "We are all just dumb sheep". Bahhhh !!!!
 
Blessings, and have a great day.

Charity Organizations

There are endless charity organizations out there. There's no doubt that we all have many opportunities to be a blessing to others through various charity organizations. One that comes to mind is "Feed The Children'. That is one organization that always touches my heart. They provide much needed food and services for millions around the world that do not have.
 
Another organization that is a worthy organization is "Operation Shoe Box". They distribute Christmas decorated show boxes to churches and other organizations to be filled with toys and other items for children, pick them up and ship them worldwide. Regardless of the charity, whether it's local, national or worldwide. There are many great charities out there to choose from.

People Are Sometimes Like Roses

Roses are beautiful and have a wonderful smell. Of course the stem is lined with thorns and those thorns can hurt. What part of the rose are you. The beautifully colored flower that gives off a wonderful smell or the stem lined with all the thorns. One way to tell is by how many friends you have? Are people attracted to you. Do you make people smile? Do people love hanging around with you? Or do they stay away from you?
 
It is better to be a rose than a rose stem.

When Faith & Hope Grows Cold

There is nothing worse that when faith and hope grow cold. As believers we are dependant upon God's Spirit moving in our lives. When God's Spirit ceases to move in our lives, it's because we have gotten off course, strayed away from God, and His plans and purposes. The end result can be faith and hope grown cold. When that happens, we must return unto the Lord and get back in tune with our first love. We must recognise how we got off course, why we got off course and see the error of our ways. When we do, as we repent and change course, God again renews us.
 
You see God will never forsake us or leave us, therefore why would we want to forsake or leave Him.

When Fear Grips One's Life

Fear can cripple a person and become a controlling factor in their life. Of course there is natural fear that we all occasionally encounter. However, when fear starts to become a controlling factor in one's life as a stronghold, there's something wrong.
 
There is a scripture that basically states "you have not been given a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind". Note the word spirit. You see sometimes overwhelming strongholds of fear are exactly that. A spirit. A evil, wicked and unclean spirit that has rooted deeply within a person. When this happens it requires deliverance to be set free of that spirit. It requires the help of God.
 
If you are finding your life being controlled by un natural fear, contact a local church and talk with someone. They can help you. They will be able to counsel you, give you scriptural advice, pray for you and God can use them to set you free.
 
Blessings, and may the peace of God rain in your life

Sure Mercies

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
 
Blessings and drink deep, the goodness of God.

The Holiday Season

Just think of it, in just over 90 days Christmas will be upon us. Wow! this year is flying by. I love the holiday season starting with Thanksgiving. What a perfect holiday and oh how I love thanksgiving dinners. There is just something very special about November and December. December brings Christmas, Christmas trees, wonderful decorations, great music, wonderous colors, exchanging of gifts and so many beautiful expressions. Not too mention that it's the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. For truly, that is the reason for the season.
 
May your Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays be filled with joy.

Watching The Tides Change

Have you ever been there. Watching something unfold that was not suppose to happen. Sometimes our inability to listen and stubbornness brings forth the complete opposite of what God had planned. Other times we become surrounded by others that make so much noise that when God speaks we can't hear and don't listen.
 
The outcomes can be either blessings or curses, and sometimes seasons of time to change course that are like walking up a steep hill.
 
We should never quench God's Spirit, hinder His plans and purposes or turn our ears to His Words.

A Word Of Encouragement

I just want to encourage you that in these times of financial hardships that God still loves you, and cares for you. Many times when things around us seem un certain, we can wonder where God is in the midst of things. Well God is still seated on the throne and His love for us has not changed. He will not leave, or forsake us. You see God is never changing. The seasons of life may change, but God does not.

High Octaine Emotions

Anger rages like a fire. It is destructive and can start major life fires. For the angry man or woman that daily deals with anger, frustrations gone wild and bitterness. These things wage war on their lives and the lives of others around them. Fires get started, fired that devour. When anger gets out of control and starts becoming deeply rooted it takes a persons character over. If un checked or dealt with, it also affects that persons health. Anger is simply not healthy fruit.
 
Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy? Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
 
Anger is not a fruit of God's Spirit.

Kingdom Principles Of Happiness

It's a fun and very informative Bible study. Where there is laughter, heaviness ceases. Where there is joy, depression flees. Where joy and laughter are found, sadness is not.
 
And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
 
Blessings through the power of the Holy Ghost

Overcoming Life's Challenges In Rest

I love to rest in God. Life comes with many different challenges and sometimes those challenges can overwhelm us. Over the years I've learned a very important fruit of the Spirit. Patience! Within such, I've learned to rest in God, to not respond so quickly or become easily offended by situations. I simply take a deep breath and start praying when situations arise. When we rest in God, we find God's peace, wisdom and counsel flowing and that simply calms the storms. It helps us to put things into perspective.
 
Let me encourage you to rest in God when things seem to overwhelm you. Remember, yesterday is gone, today is here, and tomorrow will take care of it's self. Allow Jesus to calm the storms, and allow the Holy Spirit to minister peace to you.
 
Blessings are found in resting in God.

The Birthing Process Unfolding

As we come to know God and His ways, our walk with God and as a Christian goes through many seasons and challenges. We encounter many of the same situations and circumstances in life that we did prior to becoming a Christian. The difference is that as the seasons unfold hopefully we mature and character comes forth, as we look at and see things differently. The old man starts to pass away and as new creations in Christ, the birthing process unfolds.
 
Sometimes we fall back into old patterns, however as the holy Spirit brings conviction to us, we find ourselves seeking the forgiveness and direction of a loving Savior. It is written that Jesus will complete the good work that He has begun in us. Now that's good news, knowing that Christ will never leave us or forsake us, and that our precious Lord is always there to hold our hand and lead us in the ways of righteousness.
 
Thank God that we have such a loving, compassionate and forgiving Savior.

Mysteries Of The God Kind

I think it would be fair to say that the Bible is filled with some mysterious, weird, and strange things. I could list many many scriptures that you might agree with me on. But to save some time how about chariots of fire, an axe head floating in water, a man named Elijah that killed 100's of men with a knife no bigger than a kitchen knife, the dead coming back to life, people drinking Jesus's blood, the sons of God that came from heaven to earth, saw that the daughters of men were fair, took of them, came into them and produced giants in the land, angels appearing in human form, a woman being turned to a rock of salt, and on and on ...
 
I love reading the Bible and I think back to those seasons when I devoured it day after day. It is the most interesting book I have ever read. It is also the most life changing book I have ever read.
 
Blessings are found in the pages of the Bible.

The Love Of The Father

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
 
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
 
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
 
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
 
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

The Bread Of Life

Jhn 6:33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
Jhn 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Jhn 6:48 I am that bread of life.
Jhn 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Blessings, in Jesus the Bread of Life.

Ears That Hear, Hearts That Listen

Just imagine if your house was not built on concrete, but rather sand. Things could become very unstable at any given time. A earthquake could occur, or a winter storm. There could be a flood, or even a mudslide. The results could be very bad. Just imagine all the potential possibilities for disaster if your house was built on sand. Now imagine your life being built on sand.
 
Here are the words of Jesus on the matter. Life changing words that are over 2,000 years old, yet eternal.
 
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
 
They key is reading, knowing, understanding and holding onto the sayings of Jesus.

Blessings, in Christ and His Words.

The Days And Mighty Acts Of The Apostles

Just imagine the days following Pentecost. Yes, that word that has been labled Christmatic. Seems that some just favor John the Baptist's day. Man that was a great revival, however that revival only prepared the way of the Lord, and then came Jesus, the Christ. After Christ was crucified, died, and rose from the grave, he gave the Apostles further instuctions and the outpouring of the Holy Ghost came. Just imagine those crazy Apostles being empowered to do greater works. Just imagine the miracles, healings, salvations and all that took place.
 
Today the church is talkinmg Revival and waiting for another great outpouring. Interesting, and definately something to look forward to and keep coming back for. Truth is, revival has already come. It came with John the Baptist, it came with Jesus and it came on the day of Pentecost. Revival is here, and it's been here for over 2,000 years.
 
Maybe the problem is that there are no true Apostles? Maybe the problem is that the church is not truly empowered by the Holy Ghost? maybe the problem is that we are always waiting and looking for something rather than walking in the very Kingdom of God here on earth? Food for thought. Well now for another great sermon on how to .... walk in the spirit and do greater works.
 
May the church rise up!

Living A Victorious Life

What is living a life of victory? How do you measure a life of victory? Is it wealth, possessions, material things, health, who you are, what you accomplish, what others say about you? Well I guess many would say yes. However consider this. Living a victorious life just might be a life of blessing others. In other words having the ability to do good, to make a difference and to be a world changer. Regardless of how we might all see what it is to live a victorious life. One thing is certain. With God's blessings and favor, living a victorious life gets a whole lot easier.
