Throughout the Holy Bible the Lord teaches us to stand strong in faith and to be to obedient to God’s Word. No where does it teach us to be complacent and allow things into our lives or into our homes that are not right by God due to the destruction that is destined to follow. When we allow what is simply wrong to take place over what is right our lives fall into a spiritual bondage of Satan that only takes us deeper away from the Truth until we learn how to speak what we know in our hearts.

 True love does not always give us everything we want because in our human nature we often seek things that we do not need. For instance do you give your children everything they ask or do you teach them how to have patience and earn their rewards? One of the hardest things to learn is the balance that is required in true love due to the self discipline that is a must and the teaching that is required in time to maintain what we have received.

 At no point in the walk of Jesus did he allow the world or Satan to influence His decisions or redirect the coarse in His life. Do you know the coarse in your life? Has it been redirected by something in this world instead of following what you know in your heart? Has Satan spiritually enticed you to chase the world instead of staying on coarse with God? Has the trap of the world placed you in the bondage of debt because of the lack of being obedient in the Word of God?

 I am here to tell you that there is Hope no matter the coarse that you are on. The first step of action is first recognizing where we are to see where we need to be headed and then one step at a time God will bring us back home…Amen

 On the day that Jesus Christ was hanging on the cross for our sins and to provide the Way for us to return home there were men at the foot of the cross throwing dice and gambling as if this life had no meaning. They had no regard nor respect for the life of Jesus in fact they mocked Him with accusations and words.

 What is the difference between us today in gambling our daily lives with no meaning nor purpose as these soldiers were doing at the foot of the cross? Are we not showing the same disrespect to Jesus for what He did for us when we lie, cheat, gossip, and suppress the poor? What is the difference between these soldiers at the foot of the cross in making false accusations about others when we do not know the Truth? What is the difference in these soldiers at the foot of the cross than us when we put our own desires in front of others? 

 This is what is laying heavily on my heart; “Do we need another crucifixion of Jesus Christ or was the first enough?” Everytime we mistreat others and only think of ourselves we might as well be gambling with the soldiers at the foot of the cross. I challenge you today to not gamble your life away at the foot of the cross and learn how to serve others in order to serve God instead of driving in the nails on the cross..amen

 In the book of Matthew 27 in the persecution of Jesus Christ we learn a very valuable lesson with King Pilate in learning to stand for what is right by God instead of following the Kings actions and allowing the people to misguide his decision. The King new Jesus was innocent but failed as a man and as leader to rebuke the crowd in the name of the Lord and this led to the crucifixion.

 This event was all part of God’s plan to teach us and save us from the pitts of Hell but this lesson is also here to teach us how to stand for what is right by God in our homes and in our nation. When we fail to stand in love for what is simply right by God there is suffering and bondage that takes place due to trying to please the people instead of being obedient to God.

 Are you easily swayed with the world? Do you allow the gossip of others to form your opinions? Or, do you love thy neighbor as thyself and place your trust in God instead of following man? Did you know that every time that we say something negative of another that we are only driving the in the nails on the cross? I challenge you today to learn how to stand in the love of Jesus without allowing the world to sway what you know in your heart…amen

 It is not hard to recognize the divisions and rebellion that is taking place here in America due to the lack of leadership in our country. When you really break all of this down we find that this revolt in authority actually began in our homes as we failed to properly teach the Word of God through the love of Jesus Christ. No where in the Holy Bible does God teach us to rebel nor does He teach us to not respect our authority. Instead He teaches us to pray for our leaders whether we agree with them or not and to recognize the lesson that we encounter when we allow our homes to drift away from the Will of God.

 This country was built on the foundation of God for the people and it is our leaderships responsibility to stand up for what is right by God to maintain the order within our homes. This is no different than the roll of every father that is to lead their home with the integrity and self discipline that is taught in the Word of God for the security within the family. Without individuals that are willing to stand up for what is simply right and wrong by God in our homes and in our nation this country is destined to lose its way without the direction of God.

 There are groups being formed like the Black Robe Regiment, the TEA Party and others that consist of Americans that are simply tired of the road that is being traveled here in America. The world likes to call them radicals and many others like to place them is some sort of criteria to hurt their image but what these groups consist of is your day to day Americans and Christians that are deeply concerned with the direction that this country is headed. Some of the media has labeled these groups as rebels but what person that stands up for the rights of the people , like Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela,  are not categorized as some sort of rebel?

  When we really break this down even further in someone being called a rebel how do you think that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was categorized before His persecution? God did not send His Son here to cause rebellion among the believers but to give us the assurance in the love of God that teaches us that their is much more to this life than what we see.

 In every home and in every business there comes a point that someone must stand up and learn how to communicate in love to break the spiritual chains that are not only holding us back but to maintain the integrity within the body for our childrens future. What many people are not recognizing is the spiritual battle that is taking place here on earth because of their focus being too fixed on the world and forgetting our Creator in Heaven above. The only way for us to combat the strongholds of Satan is in the name of Jesus while being obedient to the Word of God for Him to bring down the walls instead of us trying to do it on our own. This is where the emotional state is very dangerous in activist because they stand up for something that is right by God but they don’t know how to get the job done in the love of Jesus Christ and allow their emotions to to guide their actions.  

 America would be amazed at what can take place when we insert Jesus into the picture to bring down the walls that are holding us back. The Lord teaches us to have unity in the body with God in front and then the Lord will give us the direction which we need to overcome anything that we have before us. I challenge you today speak the name of Jesus and to learn the wisdom that is taught in the Word of God that teaches us to place our trust in Him instead of in man…amen

 Without God there would be no more American form of government, nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first– the most basic–expression of Americanism. Thus, the Founding Father’s of America saw it, and thus with God’s help, it will continue to be. President Dwight Eisenhower / 1955

 Have y0u ever thought about the different spiritual strongholds of Satan that place us in a form of bondage to rob us of the freedom that we can experience in the love of Jesus Christ?  Think about it; Is there something in your life that is holding you back? Due to the lack of proper teaching in the Word of God and our country drifting away from the Truth it is easy to fall into spiritual slavery that allows Satan to rob us of our purpose and our joy in life.

 Many people in the church and outside the church are walking in physical freedom here in America but little do they know how they are in spiritual bondage because they do not understand the overall objective in this life. Jesus did not only come here to save us but He came here to teach us that there is much more to life than what we physically think that we see. This life is is to serve God’s purpose and to decide the direction which we take from Heaven or Hell. I challenge you today to look DEEEEP within yourself and ask God to point out something in your life that could be holding you back. Once you recognize this whether in greed, anger, jealously, unforgiveness, pride, lust, deceit and the list goes on and on the next step is asking God to help you remove these strongholds through the love of Jesus in order to be set free…amen

So many times we allow Satan to have victory because we forget who is in control…

 There is a distinct difference in teaching and in speaking that is causing many children and adults to stumble and even fall. Teaching takes time and patience with understanding the different personalities of each student. It is easy to speak something and call ourselves a good teacher but if we are not giving the time that is required to help others find their way then we are nothing but a speaker.

 How many times do we fall guilty to looking  at people and thinking that there is no use or purpose in their life? Have you ever considered that this very person that God created is there for a reason to test our faith and to see how we will grow in His Word? Throughout the Word of God the Lord demonstrates how He will take those that are on the bottom and take them to the top to teach us to never lose sight or hope in the miracles of God.

 It is very easy to cast out someone when we don’t want to take the time in love to help others when they are in need. This is exactly what Jesus taught against and if we are to call ourselves Christians then we should strive to follow His Word out the love that is in our hearts and soul. Our Lord has His arms open calling in love for us to come home and never did He instruct us to close the doors of our hearts to tell others to go away. 

 I challenge you to open your heart in love and allow Jesus to show you the Way…amen

 What is the difference between the love of our children and the love of Jesus that we are to have with others? Why is that when our children screw up that we tend to forgive them but we can’t forgive others when they do the same? So many people are walking around and allowing Satan to spiritaully oppress their happiness  because they can’t let go of the emotions that they feel on the inside and they continue to carry around their frustrations and aggravations. 

 Everything that is taking place is in the hands of God and it is our place to follow His Word in serving within His will. The Lord teaches us to love one another unconditionally and to forgive each other as He has forgiven us.  At no time are we to give up on another brother or sister no matter how far they fall and I praise God today for not giving us what we truly deserve. 

 It is time that we begin to love each other as God loves us without distancing ourselves from our family and friends. I challenge you today to step up to the plate and swallow your pride to love one another as Jesus loves us…amen

 Have you ever noticed how the human race tries to create something that they can not? There are scientist trying to create life and they can’t even properly explain our birth. There have been leaders that tried to create specific atmospheres like Hitler, Sodom and others who restricted the people because they could not properly govern the people. There have been churches that developed so many rules that they have quenched the Spirit of God due to their own lack of understanding of how to trust in God rather than in man. 

 It is vital that we recognize the difference between a controlling atmosphere and the climate of God that is governed with self discipline to maintain the freedom that we have been given. Over the years of individuals getting away from the Truth in the Holy Bible and not teaching the spiritual deception of Satan man has developed man made rules to follow due to the less work that is required to properly teach what needs to be taught in the Word of God.

 When we do not teach our children how to maintain their freedom through the Word of God and how to seek God for the guidance in the choices that they have to make then we are only setting them up to be devoured by Satan in their unbridled emotions that will cause them many heartaches and pains. In the freedom of God we learn to appreciate His command to maintain what we have been given and to grow stronger for our children’s future. For when we learn to truly love one another is when we learn to appreciate what it takes to maintain the love that we have…amen

 If we do not know how to stand on the principles of God then all we will ever do is continue to fall…

 Often things happen in life that we have no control over and that we can’t even explain. Sometimes when things happen others are affected unintentionally due to the ripple affects of the wave. Unfortunately in our human nature we tend to get upset when someone rocks the boat that we are in because we never take the time to look beyond the wave that we see.

 All waves start from something that are either put in place by God or allowed by God and until we learn how to recognize the purpose of the wave we will never understand the lesson that needs to be learned. Sometimes when waves come our way they are a test to not only show us what we may need to work on but they are also a test to show us the spiritual enemies that we sometimes have to face.

 The object in this life is to learn how to ride the waves in the hand of God while learning to recognize the waves that we may need to avoid. Sometimes we need to get rolled around in the waves of the sea in order for God to teach us in whom to believe…amen
