Cheap Seats

Some time back I was praying to God about opening my ability to see God's visions for my life more clearly. I told the Lord that many times when I see spiritual visions in my mind, they always seem to be as though I am observing from a great distance. Have you ever felt like you were close but not close enough for it to make a difference? It is kind of like attending a pro baseball game and having to sit in the cheap seats. you can still see the game, you can hear the announcer over the speaker system, but you are not able to see the expressions on the players faces. From your vantage point you could not tell if the pitcher threw a curve ball, a slider or an off speed pitch unless you heard if from the announcer. So today why don't we begin to ask the Lord to spiritually move us out of the cheap seats to the expensive ones so that we might be first hand observers and participators in the spiritual game of life in order to get the most enjoyment and pleasure from serving his purpose. His word commands us to "draw nigh or close to him". It also reminds us of this in Ephesians 2:6 (NKJV) 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Child of God you were destined for first class seats so get out of the cheap seats and take your rightful place in God's kingdom.

Faith IS Meat For Christians Emotions do not move God but your faith in his word does. When we allow emotions to replace faith it only opens the doors to fear, doubt and failure. Faith is meat for Christians while fear and doubt brings misery and turns strong stable Christians into mere shadow-boxers! Faith finds it's true owners in the midst of trials, for anyone can seemly have ownership of faith in the good times. God wants you to know that he would never start you on a journey that he could not complete. You may question God when you don't know what to do or where to turn but question him in faith and he will show you great and mighty things.

Eye-opening Lessons from a blind man

This past Wednesday March 21 I ministered from Mark 10:46-52. I have listed the main points below and I hope as you review them that God will speak to your heart also. I. We must assume responsibility for our own (life) or moment in time. (Mark 10:47)      A. Bartimaeus refused to surrender the responsibility of the outcome of his life to others II. Believe that you can change and become what God wants you to be in this life (Mark 10:51)      A. Bartimaeus said to the Lord "I want to See".      B. People will try to force you into a mold of their own choosing, if Bartimaeus would have allowed the                                people around him to do this then he would have never received his miracle. He believed change in his situation was possible, and so must you! III. Stop worrying about what people think or say about you! (Mark 10:48)      A. In Acts 28:3-6 the Apostle Paul realized that people were going to think what they wanted too so he might as well no

What the cross will not allow a Christian to do This past Wednesday, March 7, 2012 I ministered to our church on the subject "what the cross won't allow a Christian to do". I will list the Power Points again for your reflection and study in order for you to draw fully from the message that was poured into your spirit. Power Point One - The cross will not allow a Christian to live " INDEPENDENT ". 1 Corinthians 12:25 (MSG) 25 The way God designed our bodies is a model for understanding our lives together as a church: every part dependent on every other part, the parts we mention and the parts we don't, Power Point Two - The cross will not allow a Christian to live " SILENT " Acts 4:18-20 (MSG) 18 They called them back and warned them that they were on no account ever again to speak or teach in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John spoke right back, "Whether it's right in God's eyes to listen to you rather than to God,
