Standing The Gap As Watch Parents

As Christian parents, mothers and fathers we must be committed to praying for our children and lifting them up to the Lord daily. Our world is becoming increasingly more complex, violent and dangerous. The days of the past are long gone and as the seasons have changed, our world and communities are fast changing. Morals, character and integrity are constantly being challenged. Violent crimes, drug abuse and gang violence has spread dramatically. Our schools that once had a few bullies here and there have at times become war zones with people shooting students, faculty and the use of automatic weapons on campus's have replaced the antics of rubber band guns and spit wads. We must as believers cover our children, schools and communities with prayer.

 

There are blessings in the prayers of praying dads and moms.

Kids & Medication Side Affects

We keep hearing about more and more over the counter medications being recalled. Especially medications for kids. I just read a news article that stated that "more than half million kids a year are treated for medication side effects in American, according to new data". Those are some big numbers. My thoughts are what and how is this medication available? What is it doing on the market? We just heard a recall on the news a few days ago, looked in our medicine cabinet and there it was.

 

I encourage all parents to keep informed about these recalls. You can Google recalled medications and search out sites that will help you to stay informed.

A Powerful Christian Arsenol

Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

The power of prayer. As members of the body of Christ, we have a powerful arsenol within the promises of God. Prayer! The reality that we can come boldly before the Throne of Grace, and make our requests known unto God. Not a throne of judgement or condemnation. But the wonderful Throne of Grace.

Be Passionate About and Within Your Prayers.

Beaneath The Human Shell

What aroma do you put off. Do you have a sweet loving aroma about you. Are you sincere, truthful, loving, compassionate or do you smell liked rotten spoiled eggs? An egg yoke is protected by a shell. In side that shell is where the yoke is found. What's beneath you're shell?

 

We should all have a wonderful beautiful aroma about us, and not that of spoiled rotten eggs.

The Great God Debate

When it comes to debates, there have been many over the generations. People have been debating things for centuries to include life after death, religions, cultures, UFOs (ha ha) and many other things. Today there are worldwide debates going on over various topics, like the enviorment for one. Yet what is the greatest debate of all times. I decided to Google the words great debate and this came up,  Results 1 - 10 of about 45,100,000. Imagine that?

 

I'd say that God has been debated more times than anything. Is there a God, everyone asks at one time in their life. Funny part of it is, is that we all wonder how this all happened and how we got here. We look into the night sky with wonder and amazement. We see pictures of the universe, the solar system, planets, stars and simply in awe wonder. Then we read in the Bible:

 

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.

 

Before you decide, make sure you read the Bible from cover to cover.

Movies That Entertain, Yet Sow Character Flaws

We all love a good movie. Over the years movies have changed. It seems that most of the popular movies are filled with violence, murder, hate, death and lots of explosive destruction. That's entertainment. However, what seeds do these movies sow into the hearts and minds of humanity? Why is it that people love to watch movies about murder, violence and scenes that are so life like a real that show human beings being killed? People literally feed on the violence and violent ways. What are the affects upon young boys and girls when they are exposed to such things? What are the affects upon late teens?

 

We should all be careful what we allow our children to watch, the seeds just might produce fruit, rotten fruit.

God Projects In The Fast Lane

Have you ever noticed how many times we seem to get into high gear before we shift from 1st to 2nd to 3rd and to 4th. This happens in churches, in ministries and in our personal lives. Personally I have found God, my walk with God and the Christian life to be season after season of change and that God is in no hurry. Considering that Christ died upon the cross over 2,000 years ago and countless generations and seasons have unfolded, that in it's self proves that God is a patient God. After all, God could have judged the world 1,000 years ago and called His Bride home, yet here we are, still awaiting the second coming of Christ.

 

Many times, we just flat out get in a hurry. We get so far ahead of God, His plans and His purposes that we are creating our own agenda's while thinking and believing we are in God's Perfect Will. I've oftened wondered this in regards to the size of our online ministry which has grown to over 150 separate ministry blogs, not counting all the other blogging communities that we are involved within. Yet and again, I feel this overwhelming call to share the love of Christ and His Redeeming Passion with the world.

 

Sometimes God Projects in the fast lane are fruit full. Thank God when the Holy Spirit is involved.

When Things Shift Beneath Us

Jesus spoke of the man who built his house on solid foundation vs. the man that built his house on sand. One was built on rock solid foundation, while the other was not. Jesus went on to say that the house built on the solid foundation could withstand difficult times, that the winds could blew and the house would remain, but that the house built on sand would not stand and great would be the fall of it. Just imagine the endless situations and circumstances that this application could apply to.

 

Sometimes it's possible to start out on solid foundation and slowly be moved to unstable foundation. One way for this to happen is through compromise. We all occasionally compromise, however if we continue to walk in compromise it can cause a shift and that shift can lead to unstable grounds.

 

When this happens, we must examine situations, ourselves, and the path that we have taken. For it's easy to get off course in today's world.

 

There are blessings found in the straight and narrow.

The Sound Doctrine Test

As Christian's and especially babes in Christ. We must always be careful of what we are chewing on. If it doesn't line up with God's Word, we might just find that we are chewing on meat that is not from God. That's why it's so important to read and study God's Word. Otherwise we might find ourselves receiving another gospel, and following the teachings of men that are not scriptural.

 

There are blessings in reading, studying and understanding God's Word.

Expecting Others To Make Up For Our Own Decisions

We all have expectations. Sometimes we place expectations on others that others can't meet. Sometimes we just flat out expect others to meet our needs and the truth is that we are placing burdens on others. For example: someone overeats all the time, they eat junk food, they snack on candies and refuse to control there eating habits. They lay around and refuse to exercise and this goes on for months and months and months. They see the affects of their own desires and refusal to apply wise counsel, the counsel of others, yet. Then when nature has taken it's course and the pounds add up, they blame others and expert others to change their lifestyle to meet their needs.

 

Well that is just one of hundreds of examples that we could use, however the end result is that the person that created their very own situation expects others to fix it. It just doesn't work that way, and to expect others to change their lifestyle in order to fix the very problem that their own decision brought forth is not reality.

 

Every person should be accountable for his own decisions and actions and not attempt to blame others.

The Dangers Of Gossip

Gossip is dangerous. It does not produce Godly fruit. It wounds others, created strife and is like a fire that can quickly burn out of control.

 

The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips. Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

 

Blessings are upon those whom do not gossip.

Fruit That Is Not Healthy

We all occasionally encounter anger. Anger is one of the ways we express many different emotions. That is to say that under the anger can be a variety of feelings and emotions. Yet when anger becomes rage and enters into those uncontrollable stages, that anger is dangerous and can bring destruction to all that experience it. Un controllable anger can destroy a home, a family, a marriage and even close friendships. It is like a flood that overtakes people and their lives.

 

Here are some proverbs on anger: Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife. He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:

The Business Of The Kingdom

Have you ever asked yourself what is the business of the Kingdom. Jesus said that He was about His Father's business. Jesus also called the money changers and those selling merchandise out side of the Temple, some pretty harsh things.

 

When you read the Bible and the accounts of Jesus and the Apostles, what do you find? Do you find a huge marketing concept? Do you find a huge merchandising concept? Did Jesus and the Apostles set up store fronts, open business and market God's Word, Salvation, Redemption and charge admission on the Day Of Pentecost.

 

Yet today, church's are big business. I've been pondering that a lot lately, wondering if such things are being about the Father's business.

Finding Peace Daily

Over the years in my walk with God I've come to a place where I daily find peace raining in my life. I've come to love the peace of God and love experiencing it. Thinking back I wonder how I even functioned when my life was ruled by irritations, frustrations, bitterness, fear and every other thing that comes with life and that life throws at us.

 

So what's the formula? Well my formula is Jesus, prayer, worship, reading the word of God and the fact that God simply brought me out of darkness and a life of walking in darkness. Jesus is the Prince of Peace and God does give us a peace that surpasses all understanding.

 

However to truly find peace, one must pursue peace. Seek the Prince of Peace and peace will find you.

Micro Managing Kingdom Authority & Principles

Every church that I have ever attended had a prayer ministry. Prayer is one of the heart beats of church. Prayer is important, and Jesus said "My House shall be called a house of prayer". There are many scriptures in the Bible that speak of prayer from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelations. There are many accounts of Christ praying, the Apostles praying, and also many accounts within the old testament about prayer.

 

Prayer in many ways is the lifeline of our communication with God. Through prayer we communicate with God, make our requests known to Him, enter into His presence and stand the gap as watchmen for others. It is good to pray for others. In fact, it is a humble privilege to pray for others.

 

In the book of Acts prayer and the laying on of hands are mentioned in various sections of scripture. In many church's today prayer and the laying on of hands is actively pursued and the ministry of the Holy Spirit flows freely.

 

Actually God made prayer very simple. It doesn't take some spiritual giant to pray for people. It just takes a willing vessel to step out in faith and allow the Holy Spirit to be the Holy Spirit. It's when fear, lack of faith, a religious spirit, the precepts of men and having a good church service show gets in the way and hinders the Holy Spirit, that prayer ministries become inaffective. That well scripted situations.

 

It amazes me how we sometimes turn the Kingdom of God into this well micro managed process as if we could add something to it. It amazes me how we sometimes take the simplest of things and make them difficult and within that process diminish the power of such. It also amazed me how we have ears to hear, eye's to see, the doctrine and teachings of the Apostles, yet we create new doctrines.

I somehow don't think Jesus had that in mind.

Quick, Powerful, Sharp

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

As The Years Unfold

As Christians, our walk with God will encounter many seasons. There will be seasons of joy and seasons of occasional heartache, there will be seasons of peace and seasons where peace seems far from us. There will be seasons of great abundance and seasons of lack. There will be seasons whereas God is ever so close and seasons when God seems far and distant. Within these seasons and many other seasons that we will walk in and through, there is one thing that we must know and fully trust in. That God will never leave us or forsake us. That God loves us and cares for us, and that we are His beloved.

 

Blessings in the eternal love of God.

Just Imagine If You Had The Formula To Living A Successful Life

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 and understanding the sayings of Jesus.

Blessings, in Christ and His Words.

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.
