El Nino Just Might ....

You might recall the El Nino's of the past. Some meteorologists believe that we are in for another El Nino and that E Nino will bring rain to drought stricken parts of Texas. Well, after all the fires here in California, El Nino just might bring major rains, mudslides and flooding to California. This could be a very wet year coming this winter.

 

 

Sometimes the weather man hits the target, other times they miss. However, it would be wise to prepare in advance just in case we have a very wet winter with lots of severe weather and storms. Make provisions for your family, relatives and friends.

When The Hearts Agenda Is Not Of God

Many times people bring false accusations against others with an agenda. They usually start with behind closed doors gossip as to gather strength in numbers. Yet it's the agenda that drives their heart. After they sow the seeds of false accusations whereas they feel empowered, they then put their agenda's to work with the well "we think" mind set.

What they fail to realize is that in doing so, they stain their own garments and dis honor God

Feeding The Homeless

At the church we attend, I have watched the homeless outreach grow leaps and bounds over the years. I remember when it was simply two lockers, a table and some can food. Today around 150 families come each week to get food. There are two huge refrigeration units, Ilse of foods of all kinds and about 20,000 square feet set aside for outreach. It's amazing to see the love that pours through the homeless, food and food warehouse at our church.

 

It's also amazing to see what the new director is doing and all the changes that have come forth. The love, dedication and handwork that is being poured into and through the homeless outreach is amazing. People are being blessed, getting much needed food and are being ministered to and God gets all the Glory.

 

There are blessings overflowing when we reach out and help others in need.

The River Of God's Love & Grace

Just imagine a river flowing from the heart of God filled with His love and grace. Just imagine that river flowing richly into your life, home and family. Is it possible that life could be filled with love, peace, and joy. Yes!  One of the ways to find that very river is through prayer. Prayer has this unique way of opening the very floodgates of God's heart over our lives. Prayer brings change, change that is good!

 

Jesus said "my house shall be called a house of prayer".

Hitting The Mark While Running Life's Race

What a mad house life can occasionally be. The demands, responsibilities, schedules, work, financial responsibilities and every other aspect of life can be like a mad house. Then of course there are those hidden and unseen situations that arise. Ouch!

It's like being in a race, running the fast lane of life and trying to hit the mark. Problem is that fast lane just never seems to end, and whatever mark we hoped to hit or accomplish seems to get lost in the lane changes, off ramps and on ramps of the freeway system.

Let me encourage you. If life is getting the best of you, slow down. Take some time, relax and simply put things into perspective. I also encourage you to spend some time in prayer seeking God for His perfect will in your life. You see, when we get into the flow of God's river, the ride is so much easier and so filled with joy.

Bad Hair Day People

There's nothing worse than bad hair day people. People that are always looking for some dramatic situation to unfold to make their day seem worth wild. People that are always gossipping about the latest, meddling in other peoples affairs, pointing fingers at others, judging and creating drama. I just don't understand that mind set. As if peace, happiness and joy escape them. What kind of life is that?

Life is beautiful, it is wonderful and it is filled with wonder. Yes, there are those days, weeks and sometimes seasons, but why with intent create difficulties and hardships. Why light the fire, place the skillet on it and jump into the skillet. And the worst part, why expect others to jump into the skillet with you.

Trade your bad hair day mentality in for days of peace, balance, and sound mind.

Finding God In The Midst Of Difficulties

Very few people look towards God when things are going well. Truth is they are usually to busy and consumed to think about God. However, when times become difficult or troubles come, that's when we all seem to call out to God. Sometimes God takes the worst of situations and circumstances and turns them into blessings. We of course can't see this in the beginnings or as it's unfolding, but as time passes we do.

 

If your encountering difficulties let me encourage you to call out to God through times of prayer, worship and simply taking the time to share fellowship with Him. You just might find all your difficulties being turned into blessings as time passes.

How Do You Define Terroism

We've all heard about terrorism. It didn't start with 911 and the attacks against The United States. It started long ago. Even back in the days of Christ it was present and long before. Just imagine being taken hostage and fed to lions. Just imagine being taken hostage and forced to fight another human being to the death.

 

What about what was done right here in the United States. What about the Indian Nations, the wars? What about the slave trade and what was done to the people of the African nation that were brought here in chains and irons? What about abortion? Do not all these things qualify as terrorism?

 

I guess it depends upon how you look at it. I would imagine that even the people of Iraq, the everyday citizens, the mothers, father and children were terrorized. Just imagine a bomb killing your entire family and your just a child. I would imagine that every time a bomb falls on the innocent, they feel terrorized. So what is a terrorist? Is it a group of people that blow people up, blow up cars to kill people, that attack hotels, take hostages and so on? Yes, that is definitely a form of terrorism.

 

Personally, I feel that anytime a human being's life is being threatened regardless of the reason or so called justification. That is terrorism. Life, all life, should be held with the very highest of regards, respected, protected at all cost, not taken by acts of terror. And to sacrifice the innocent to root out the evil, is a great sin.

 

Love conquers all things, love overcomes all things, for love not killing, is the greatest of all gifts.

Touching The Nations Of The World In High Speed

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. If you have a passion to share Christ with the world, contact us. We are always looking for blog authors and writers to share the love and passion of Jesus on the Internet around the globe.

The Fruit Of Compromises

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.

Allow The Peace Of God To Quiet The Storms

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.

Marketing Christianity

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.

The Beauty And Power Of Unity

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

The Destructive Power Of A House Divided

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

 

However, Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

The Ware Zone Of Every Christian

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

 

I'm not going to write about the above scripture other than to say this. When you find yourself in a battle consider the above scripture and the following scripture.

 

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.

 

Now read Eph 6:11-18

Love, Power And Authority

I love the word of God, the teachings of Jesus and yes, the teachings of the Apostles. Jesus made things simple and the Apostles whom were led of the Spirit and anointed in power went forth preaching the Word with signs and wonders following as the Lord was working with them. Preaching was simple. It was about Christ and the rule of the Kingdom. Prayer was simple and through such lives were changes and transformed. The Apostles walked the walk and were about the business of the Kingdom as Jesus was about His Father's business. Neither Jesus or the Apostles walked around with Bibles.

 

The Apostles and the church were empowered by the Holy Ghost and the church was being born as it unfolded. You see something wonderful happened on the Day Of Pentecost. The church was born, the Apostles were empowered and Kingdom Authority was the rule. Heaven came to earth like a Mighty Rushing Wind.

 

It's time for the church to submit to the word of God, the doctrine of the Apostles, cast out the religious spirit and the precepts of men. It's time for the church to stand upon the very ROCK whom is the Lord, the Holy and Anointed One. It's time for the church to rise up in love, in power and in authority.

 

Blessings in the Anointing of God.

Rising Above Potential Disasters

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.

Make That Call, Send That Letter

Is there someone that you've lost contact with? Maybe a old high school friend, maybe a old co worker, maybe a relative or close close family member? We all get busy and the freeway of life just seems to consume our time. Grandparents, uncles, aunts, best friends and people that we've spent time with just seem to fall onto the back burners of our life. Many times we are reminded of those people in thought. We make plans to contact them, but life's freeway once again consumes us. Maybe the Holy Spirit is putting someone on your heart right now. Take time and make that call. You just might put a smile on some one's face.

We All, Can Make A Difference

Remember, we all can make a difference. In our homes, in our communities, with our families, on the job and at every corner. Each one of us has something to add to our world to make it a better place. Take time and make time to make a difference, a positive difference in the lives of others. Be a blessing to others and encourage them with your love and friendship.

Getting Off Course

It's easy to get off course. Sometimes we don't even realize that we've gotten off course and by the time we wake up and see that fact, it's almost too late to undue all the wrongs. It's as if the path just got wider and wider and we didn't see it happening. The other reality is that sometimes people just don't want to see the course that is unfolding, as if it doesn't exist. Then in the end, they make excuses for the losses and by that time the losses are great. Sometimes even the fall is great.

Jesus spoke of the straight and narrow saying few be there that find it. On the flip side Jesus spoke to the wide and broad saying that many go therein. Regardless of where you are on that path, stay focused on Christ and the sayings of Jesus.

The Kingdom Of HEAVEN is likened unto ....
