SPIRITUAL AND GIFTED

God's various gifts are handed out everywhere; but they all originate from God's Spirit. God's various ministries are carried out everywhere; but they all originate from God's Spirit. God's various expressions of power are in action everywhere; but God himself is behind it all. Each person is given something to do that shows who God is: Everyone gets in on it, everyone benefits. All kinds of things are handed out by the Spirit, and to all kinds of people! 

 

CHECK

Listen at the heart of a sinner redeemed by Christ and made one in the family of God. It was once told that life was like a chess game. It wasn't understood at the time but as the board vision became reality, it was then realized that just like chess, victory or defeat hangs on the choices and strategy of the players and how they use the pieces they were given to survive and compete on the board.

God gave us a life to live and he gave us the pieces we would need to stay in the game. God allows opposition and he challenges us to use our free will. He can bless the work of our hands when our choices line up with His will.

nonetheless, when our choices line up with the destructive will of darkness, we then begin to lose key pieces and eventually we are removed from the board.

HEAT OF THE DAY

As the sun's ultra violet rays bare down on the earth, the heat of this day ministers to my soul and brings to mind the troubles that we face when we allow ourselves to give ear to the lies of the enemy.

When we allow ourselves to be swept away by the empty, unfruitful, promises of darkness, we put ourselves in a position to suffer the heat of Gods judgement and wrath.  

As we continue deeper down this broad road of disobedience, leading to death, the higher the temperature will rise. If repentance is never allowed to have its way. then we are subject to be consumed by the flame.

SACRED TRUST

My Bible tells me that we are washed in the blood of the lamb. The blood of the lamb is a free gift of salvation from God. A gift given to all who will just dare to believe. 

It is an unconditional love that gives and keeps on giving. A love with divine benefits which will see the believer through every facet of life on earth and beyond. 

A love that says you are a member of the Holy family of God and have all the rights thereof. 

The Christian has been given a glorious light with a sacred trust from God to use that light responsibly and shine into the darkness and lead the lost souls to Jesus our Lord.   

THE HEALING HEART

       Today, God has given me favor and forgiveness. His healing is on the rise.Tears were shed for the pain was great.  

   The man of God has to cry sometimes so that strength and endurance
 can have its perfect work. 

       I prayed for unity and peace and sat back as the Holy Spirit worked it out,

         setting me free from the chains of my own stubbornness and anger. 

            Crying has allowed me to feel once more the love and caring I felt all those years ago.

HIS WIFES HUSBAND

     As the night reveals the days end, yet again, 

       my consciousness peeks at the thought of a husbands love and respect  for his wife.  

        Highly driven and having great zeal to please her, a husband provides for all of his wife's needs. 

 He leaves  her feeling secure, safe,  and her soul edified under his reign. 

       A willful and loving exchange of loyalty and commitment is demonstrated as the two settle 

   into their oneness and warm embrace. 

     Enjoying the sanctity of their marriage, 

      she submits to his authority because his rule over her produces great pleasure and inspiration. 

      He keeps her heart happy, her body responding, and God Blessing the union.

               

THE BROKEN REMEMBERED

My soul knows truth because of the Holy Spirit that resides within me. I can see through the eyes of the divine Holy Word. Jesus has revealed to me that I am broken, I am imperfect, and that I am flawed with sin.  

He continues to further let me know even though I am all of these things, I am not without hope. 

I am a son and blameless before God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So rather then walk in the reality of my short comings, I  walk in the promises of God. This is where I have been given free will of charge and salvation from the condemnation of my sins.

Jesus said your sins are forgiven "go and sin no more," and though He Himself knew no sin, what he knew was the struggles we would face as a result of mans disobedience. 

He died in our place so that we wouldn't see the death we rightly deserve but instead have life forever.

This revelation of Love and Hope stays ever before me, policing my thoughts and actions, holding my position on the narrow road of life. 

Sometimes I slip and fall but He never allows me to lose my way and I rise and continue the journey that has been laid out before me for the good of my fellowman .......
