Put God First!!!

Make sure you put God first in everything you do! This does not mean only putting God first when you go to church or when you need something. Put God first all the time in everything you do. Don't you know that this will help you everyday? Don't you know that if you put God first everything else will fail in comparison? See, God loves you regardless of what you do but he would like very much to be first in your life. He would like to be the one you count on in times of need. He would like to be the one you look toward when things just don't seem right. He would like to be your Counselor, your Provider, your Father, your Redeemer, your Sword, your everything!!! Let God be everything for you...all you have to do is put him first. Put him first everyday and you will see that he is everything. There won't even be a question about who to go to for this and who to go to for that when God is first in your life. It will come naturally as it should be. So, make a resolution today...resolve to put God first in everything you do, in everything you say, in every way and you will see that he is all you need today, yesterday, and forever!!!

God Loves You

God Loves You!!! Do you know that he loves you yesterday, today, and forever? Do you know that he loves you when you are right and when you are wrong? Do you know he loves you just as you are and that won't ever change? God's love for his children is so strong that nothing in this world or beyond could ever change the way he feels about you. So, get up and get your act together and act like the son of God...act like you are worthy to be loved...act like you would if you knew someone very very very important to you loved you, because he does. This means getting off of drugs, this means quitting smoking, this means quitting drinking, this means no more depression, this means that you are special. You are special to God because he loves you and when you are special to God, nothing else matters!!!

Don't Forget About Me

Let's start with the statement: don't forget where you came from and who you are. On another note, you should ask yourself the better question: Do you know who you are? If you don't know who you are how can you know who I am and if you don't know who I am how do you include me in your life. I want you to remember me in everything you do, everywhere you go, with everything you've got. I know it is easy to forget about me when you have a lot on your plate. I know it is easy to forget about me when you don't include me in your daily life. But I am telling you today that I am always with you and if you want to feel my presence just remember that I am there. Yes I want to be acknowledged but more than that I want you to know that I love you and hope you love me too. So, let's continue to do life together or begin to do life together if I have been excluded from your life. I want to be included in all that you do, from waking up in the morning to enjoying our children together. Let me be a father to you. Let me take care of you. Don't forget about me because I cannot and will not ever forget about you!

Trust God

Many people struggle with a very simple concept, that is trusting God. It is not because they don't believe that he exists or even that he is not capable. They struggle because they don't know any better. See we have all been stuck in this Babylonian system and getting out of it seems impossible at times. Questions arise like how do I survive or what am I going to do, when the simple answer is trust in God. Trust in me because I am the one that can take care of all of your needs. Trust in me when you have no one else to turn to. Trust in me because I am God. Trust in me because when it's all over you will see that I am who I say I am and I was where I said I would be. So when it comes down to what you need, believe in me, have faith in me, trust in me. I am all that you need; I am God.

Humility or Highness

What will you do? We've all had events where we have had company. The question is who was your company and why? For me and my family, most of the time it has been our family who has come to the events. My family has been somewhat different, although we still have a lot of room for improvement. We have welcomed anyone that has accompanied another family member. Not because we expected anything in return but because we loved and wanted to honor our guest as family. So, who will you invite to your event? In Luke 14:12-14, our father guides us by saying don't invite those that you expect something in return from. Invite those that have nowhere else to go or nobody else to turn to. Too often, we do things with the expectation of something in return. I will be the one that gives what I have to those that don't have as much just to make sure they are taken care of. We should do things for the joy of our father, out of the goodness of our hearts, never expecting anything in return. When you are able to achieve this, you will be exalted; not by the world, but by our father who loves you because you are his son/daughter and are acting like it. So humble yourself, your highness...we are all heirs of a king but our glory comes not from man but from our father, Most High.

Why do We Fight???

Why do we fight? Why do we have wars? Why do we want what other people have? Why can't we just be happy with what we have? You should think about this. For centuries we have fought...in the name of religion, revenge, and it is all really just because we want what someone else has. You may not believe it but it is definitely true. Today we fight primarily because we want more. More of what you say? More money, more power, anything that will place me (you) in a better position in the world than we were before. Though people won't tell you that's why we fight, it is the truth.

In the past and to this day, we have participated in and fought wars because we so falsely believe money is power and everyone wants more power. We can say that we are defending our land or someone took something away from us and we have to fight to get it back but if everyone was happy with what they had there would be no need to get back what was taken from you or go take what doesn't belong to you. The world that we live in is GREEDY, very GREEDY, and our father did not intend for us to live like this. The truth is no one has power like God has power, so we fight in vain. We fight for worldly goods and the right to say I defeated you and now I own what is rightfully yours. Isn't this stealing? Now I can take your stuff, sell it, and make a profit for me and make me more powerful to the world. So, who wins when we fight? The entity that succeeds at stealing from the other person? The entity that has just killed or or devastated their brothers and sisters? The entity that now has more worldly power??? Who really wins?

If you have been reading, you can easily see that no one wins. We all lose! We destroy our beautiful land, we destroy our brothers and sisters, and we brake several of God's commandments in the process so how could anyone win? As hard as this is for a lot of people, we must learn to walk away...simply put, just walk away. Also, we must stop idolizing and glorifying people, as this is a sin and provokes more hatred and lusts for power. Most importantly, we must remember to share, give, and live Holy as Jesus did on this earth. Never having a sour heart toward his brothers and sisters but forgiving them and praying for deliverance he did because he loved them. Let's love our enemy and forgive and pray for those that forsake us. We all know fighting is bad but some say there is a need (or a time and a place when you need to fight). There is never a need to fight. God is already fighting our battles for us and he never loses. So, when we get in the way for any reason that we may believe is justified we have just defeated ourselves. So, don't fight, simply walk away and pray.
