Being A Christian

5 Nov

Being A Christian…

Let me tell you the secret of being a Christian. When you warm other people’s hearts, you remain warm yourself. When you seek to support, encourage and inspire others; then you discover support, encouragement and inspiration in your own life as well.

This is what is missing in the world today. Where is the compassion we used to have? Where is the love we are commanded to share? Where are our Christian values when we can allow hate and distrust run our lives? Where are you?

One has to wonder what our churches are teaching and what our “Christians” are following. I’ll tell you it sure isn’t the Bible or the teachings of Jesus. I think everyone needs to pick up their bibles and read the Sermon On The Mount and just look at where they are in life using that as a reference. For you who don’t remember where to go it is Matthew chapter 5, 6 and 7. Then turn to 1Corinthians 13 and learn how to love again.

If we as Christian don’t start standing up to all this division going on in our country, we are not doing what Jesus commanded us to do. As long as we let hate, lies, and dark run unchecked we are turning our Country and Faith over to Satan.

It is time for us all to open our eyes and stand up and take a stand for our Lord and our Country!! Believe it or not if you are not part of the solution – you are part of the problem. Shine your light!!!

I will step off the soapbox now.

Walk daily with God at your side!!

Love always,

The Resurrection Of Zion

5 Nov

The Resurection Of Zion…

Eliezer Ben Yehudah had a vision for the future state of Israel. He believed he was called to resurrect Hebrew to be the Jewish nation’s new language. He spent the rest of his life writing a dictionary of a language that no one spoke.

He made it a law in his house that no other language would be spoken except his newly revived Hebrew. He even reprimanded his wife for singing a Russian lullaby to their little boy. His son became the first speaker of the new tongue.

People thought he was crazy. But his dream came true and Hebrew was resurrected from the dead and became the language of the resurrected nation of Israel.

You, too, are called to speak and walk into that which is not, as if it were: to speak and live words of impossibilities and declare that which has no precedent – to speak light into darkness, joy into sorrow, hope into hopelessness, and miracles into the impossible.

For Modern Hebrew was born out of a miracle of a man who refused to be reasonable but instead spoke a language of the impossible – do likewise!

So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.” John 8:28

Take the Word of God and speak and live that which is not as if it is – And live a life of miracles.

Walk daily with God at your side!

The Never Ending Banquet

The Never Ending Banquet…

Once oil tycoon J. Paul Getty was asked, “If you retired now, would you say your holdings would be worth a billion dollars?” Getty paused to do the math in his head. “I suppose so,” he said, “but remember, a billion doesn’t go as far as it used to.” What Getty was saying was that even having a billion dollars was not quite enough.

So many people spend their lives seeking more money and worldly things, thinking that more will bring them happiness. But it’s never about what you have on the outside – it’s about your heart. If your heart is empty, no amount of riches on the outside will fill it.

However, if your heart is full of the things of God, no lack of money or anything on the outside will change that. Proverbs 15 says, that the one who has a joyous heart, has a never-ending banquet.

Do you want to be truly rich? Then set your heart on becoming rich in God. Give thanks to the Lord at all times for all the blessings and your life will become as a never-ending banquet.
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. Matthew 6:19-20

Set your mind and heart on storing up true riches in God and rejoice in all your blessings.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,
