Continual Flow

Ever feel drained or spiritually empty? Sometimes it may seem as though the presence of the Living God is right in hands reach and at times so distant. What causes this unstable awareness? Sure, we know God is with us always according to the words of Jesus, "And lo, I am with you always, even until the ends of the earth." We take His word by faith and it keeps us grounded in Him. But what about that place of continual fellowship and communion with God Himself? The position that Adam lossed, but Christ regained? Lots of questions, simple answer.

God requires us to seek His kingdom and His righteousness. The word seek in the Greek means "to be about." This tells us we are to go about our daily activities in pursuit of Him and His ways. This entails but is not limited to: Deliberately going out of our way to do a kind, unselfish deed for someone in need; Being instant in prayer in every circumstance that arises; Magnifying who God is over situations that occur. I believe that once our hearts are purposed to follow what God has commanded for us to do in His word, then our relational experience with Him is heightened.

In John 14, Jesus tells us that He knows that we love Him when we keep His words. This is when God loves us and He and the Son come unto us and make their abode with us. In essence, it is impossible to obtain or maintain for that matter, a spiritual relish and knowing that God is always right in hands reach if we are not attempting to do what He requires of us continually regardless of how we feel. The opportunity to have that closeness where God makes us His dwelling place has been purchased at the cross. God is waiting for us to take claim of it and do what it takes to remain steadfast in it.

Always in Love,

Voices

In our world today, both personal and globally too many voices are screaming to be heard the loudest in us. The cries of entertainment, family issues, work, ministry, lies from the enemy and all other "busies" encountered on a daily basis are grasping our attention most times, for longer than they should. When all these voices are echoing in us consistently for too long, it is then extremely difficult to hear the Voice of Truth that is able to assist us in our lives wisely, peacefully, and victoriously.

God is a god who loves to guide His children in the light of His Truth according to His plan that He has set out for us. Think of the children of Israel where God used a pillar of fire by night and and cloud by day to lead them into the promise land. Too, Jesus' analogy of being the Great Shepherd (shepherd's guide their sheep into safety). What is even better after the resurrection of our Redeemer is the Holy Spirit who guides us into all truth, shows us things to come, teaches us all things and brings things back into our remembrance. Wow, we have the greatest Source of Power now living in us! This is phenomenal! The only problem is how do we recognize the promptings and leadings of God through the Holy Spirit when the tugs of everything else is penetrating our souls and overpowering our spirit where God speaks to us?

We have to be aware of in addition to the screeches of life's pressures, there is a true battle in our mind and in the spirit realm to be heard and followed. The voice of our flesh and the enemy are at war with the Voice of God attempting to guide us in the right path. This is why it is imperative for us to die to the flesh daily and be quick to cast down vain imaginations, high things (thoughts, voices, lies from the enemy) that try to make its voice louder than the truth and knowledge of God. The wisdom to distinguish these thoughts (voices) can also be given to us when asked in faith without wavering in order to be able to hear the voice of God instructing us when we turn to the left and when we turn to the right (Is 30:21). God is always leading us. Are you following this week?

Problem Solving pt.2

The family structure is the most targeted organization on the planet. The enemy has one motive and that is to pervert anything that God created or spoke. This is why the enemy thrives to trick men in not being men in every aspect of being a man. Too often have I encountered women that want to be men and in some cases are more manlier than most men (SCARY).

The enemy knows that if you kill the head then the body will die. The head is vital to directing the body. Have you ever noticed that everything on the head is essential to leading a safe and productive life. Without any one function of the head operating normal, life would be difficult. Your eyes, ears, mouth and nose all play an important role in day to day affairs and so does a man, father or husband to a family.

Now the man is called to be the head and not the dictator and he is no more important than a woman is. A quick way of finding this out is to observe a person with no arms or feet or any other lower extremity. It is very hard to lead a normal life with any body part missing and likewise the family with parts missing.
