Progressive Relationship

Image
  Proverbs 1:2-4   To know wisdom and instruction, to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity, To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.      Man was created to know God. Man was created to perceive God. Man was created to receive God. Man was created to give unto God. Man was created by God to be his glorified  reflection in the earth. Man was to use his life to worship and glorify God. He was to do it out of a true loving relationship with God and not out of some kind of religious obligation toward God.      In short and keeping things simple, man is to know, perceive, receive and give God, first to himself, and then to all those around him who he is responsible to influence. Anyone who comes to Christ and receives him, must first be given information about Jesus Christ. This is the beginning of getting to know him.       They then must perceive the information to the point of awaren

Lord You Know Me

Image
  Psalm 139:1 O Lord, thou has searched me, and know me.       Since the dawn of time man has in each generation uncovered things hidden in the earth that have led to the discovery of inventions. The inventions in most cases have been used for both good and bad. The creator of the invention had a specific goal in mind, but often times others took the same invention and used it for other purposes. When this happens the true intention or purpose of the thing created can sometimes be lost forever. Only the creator can look within the thing created and see the purpose he intended. Only the creator can look within the creation to see if it is operating correctly. Only the creator can truly see what is right and what is wrong with his creation.      Everyone that has ever lived on this planet at one time or another has felt the presence of the creator. At that moment man knew that there was someone higher than man. The bible says in Genesis 1:26 that man was made in the image of God. This me

Beyond Jordan

Image
John 3:26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.      The Jordan river has always been a special place for God's people. Many great events has happened at this place. But the most important aspect about the Jordan is that it is a symbol of a place where supernatural transition takes place. It is a crossing point from the natural into supernatural movement with God. This is the place where parts of the flesh dies and parts of the Spirit advances.        The Jordan is the symbolic place in the Spirit where one gives it all to God. You decide your life is not yours anymore. You declare that you belong to Christ. To him and him alone you worship. You do not trust flesh anymore. Christ is your God and your actions line up with his will. Transformation of your soul is going beyond just a confession and has entered into actual lifestyle changes that match

Kingdom Advancers ( The Spiritual DAD )

Image
Romans 8:15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba Father.  Kingdom Advancers are people called by God to move his earthly kingdom forward. They are the ones who He calls to put, move or push someone or something forward according to God's plan for His kingdom. There are many people in the bible who fall into this category of kingdom advancer. Today our focus will be on the kingdom DAD and his role as a Kingdom Advancer.       The word Father means male parent. In the natural he is the one who helps to bring you into existence by the process of reproduction. He is also the one who is suppose to take on the task of overseeing your progress from existence into a progressive life.This is true in the natural and the Spirit.       Spiritual father sees to your progress in both the Spirit and the natural. His formal name is Father. His informal name is DAD. He is also sometimes informally refe

From Everlasting to Everlasting

Image
  Psalm 90:1-2      Lord, thou has been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting thou art God.       The bible says that all generations have had the Lord available as a dwelling place. This means all generations prepared by the most high God have the choice of choosing to dwell and abide with him. Everything that is known or unknown came from God. Everything came from inside of him. This means that everything at one time had God as a dwelling place. We all had our place in God. He created us to have a place with him. Before this world was created by God we all existed in God. Before heaven was created all the beings in heaven existed in God.      When God created heaven and earth he chose to place created beings in both places.  The key hear is that he decided where his creations would exist. He put them in a place where they would have the ability to live life

Kingdom Advancers ( The Spiritual MOM )

Image
John 2:1-5 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus said unto him, they have no wine. Jesus said unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother said unto the servants, Whatsoever he says unto you, do it.       It is truly amazing when you think on how we all were formed in our mothers womb! How inside her things took place that we cannot even imagine. Why? Because God's ways are higher than our ways. His thoughts are higher than ours. He is sharing his thoughts and ways when he reveals something to us.       One of the most important things revealed by God concerning moms is that all mothers have through the words they speak in the presence of their children, the power to effect change in the way the children think about things. Another word for things is matter. God has given tru

The Working Salvation of God

Image
  Psalm 62:1-2 Truly my soul waits upon God: from him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.       The word salvation means preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin or loss. The salvation of God that Christ brought to us from heaven is to give us deliverance from sin and it's consequences. The sin in our life is designed to bring harm, ruin and loss to our soul. Our soul is under constant attack by the ways of this world. Through Christ our souls can now be set free from the effects of sin if we allow Jesus Christ to set us free. He came to save us from ourselves and reconnect us to God. He came to keep us safe from destruction by releasing the power of God's word to bring a constant flow of God life to us and also paying the price for our sins by the shedding of his blood. His actions opened the door for the working salvation of God to bring us back to life.      The bible makes it clear that we all were dead

A Higher Love

Image
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.      The world is crying out for love. All mankind is longing for someone to love and to be loved by someone. Someone who will honor and respect them for who they are. This is how God formed us with his loving hand. To be loved and respected because of who he made us to be and not what we choose to be.      We live in a fear driven world. The fear of not having love or being able to love is very, very real. But the question that must be asked is if something appears to be truly real, does that make it true ? True love can only come from the creator of love. It can not be redefined by God's creation. This world in it's fallen state could never come up with the true meaning of love on it's own. It could never measure up to the standard of true love without help from God the creator of love.       The bible says that God&#

The Shadow Valley

Image
Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou are with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.      The bible in Psalm 23 speaks of a place known as the valley of the shadow of death. God wrote this Psalm through king David so that we God's children, would come to an understanding about the world we have been sent by God to operate in at this time. This world in the shape it is in right now is not our permanent home. It is important for us to know that this life we live right now is a life being walked out in a valley filled with shadows. It is in this shadow valley that God has made a way for us to be purged of or sins and at the same time develop a true, real, meaningful relationship with him.      Today we will look at this shadow valley through the eyes of kind David. When we look at the history of David we understand that he suffered through many of the same afflictions that are common to the world today. Why is that?

The Way of Transformation

Image
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.         The word conform means to behave according to socially acceptable standards. The bible says that we are not to be conformed to this world. In other words, we are not to behave the way the world behaves. Our life was never to be based on socially acceptable standards set up by man, our life is to be based on the will of God. We as children of God, are to act in a different way. The only problem is how do we not behave the way we were naturally born to behave. It is in our DNA to naturally behave as the world behaves. We are born to do the opposite of God's will.       No one has to teach us to lie, cheat or steal. We don't have to go to school to learn how to fornicate, commit adultery or be unclean. Pride, envy, drunkenness, murder and the like lives inside us waiting for a chance to get out.

The Peace of God

Image
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.       Peace, be still! The peace of God brings a stillness to your soul. I speak to your hearts and minds right now in the name of Jesus. As we enter into a new season, we will do so with the peace of God leading our way. In this past season of testing we were under constant attack by the fears of this world system. Our relationships, finances and health have been put to the test at the same time on a global scale. Faith in governments are at an all time low. We all have been face to face with challenges that we have never encountered before. We all have had to deal with fears of what is now being called the new normal. What little peace we thought we had has been overcome by constant reports about things we on a personal level have no control over.       As we enter into this new season let us focus our hearts and minds on the peace of God instead of the fear o
