God is moving

I am so excited to see God moving in so many ways. In people's lives, businesses and in the church in general. We need to remember though as we move closer to God that our enemy; the called Satan or the Devil, is moving about also. We must surround ourselves with people and pray warriors to cover us in God's protection. We need to be reading and memorizing God's word - The Holy Bible. I would encourage you to be authentic but not judgemental. Remember we are all sinners and not one of us is better than anyone else. Love people where they are at, just as Christ loves us. Unconditionally, speak words of positive motivation and love. Try to forgive those that have harmed or done ill will in your life so that you can be free from the bondage unforgiveness can bring upon you.

Getting growing in your relationship with God the Father, Jesus Christ the son and the counselor - the Holy Spirit.

God loves you and knows the things that you wonder and dwell upon. Draw close to Him and let Him guide and comfort you.

Need to Blog again

I have to get into a routine and make time to blog and share what is happening in my life and what I and God are working on. So this is a small post to jump start the writing again.

The little girl, her Dad and an Airplane

The other day I needed to get out of the office and just go for a drive and chill out for a little while. I was cruising around Hot Springs listening to some Hillsong United worship music and just seeking God. God spoke to my stomach and said you're hungry get something to eat. So being obedient I cruised around looking for the right thing to eat on. I ended up at KFC and ordered a Grilled Wrap or something like it, a Chicken strip in a tortilla then pressed in a pannini grill. I went thru the drive thru and just decided to eat in the car.

I bounced across the street to park and eat in front of Family Christian Store, I have been needing a new worship CD to listen to but I haven't found the right one. If you know of anything that is touching your heart and soul in a fresh and powerful way -feel free to share it with me.

Anyway, as I was sitting there eating my wrap, a young man came out of Family Christian smiling having a great time. He was also carrying what I assumed to be his daughter. She must have only been 2 or 3 years old. She was just beautiful. Has I was eating and watching this moment take place in all our lives. The dad smiling from ear to ear carrying his daughter on his hip, pointed to the sky to introduce her to an airplane that just flew over us. The young girl smiled and waved like it was the neatest thing see had ever seen. I wonder how many times they have gone thru this same routine with an airplane in the sky.

This spoke to my heart in a way that was fresh, it was reminding me how a baby can put a smile on any ones face at any given moment. It was really awesome to see such joy on the dad and little girls faces. Now I know things can get out of hand really quick with a new baby but for this moment......all things were perfect.

It made me think of another baby that came into this world in a very rough and lonely way. As we celebrate this Christmas season, I think of the baby Jesus who was born to have all the worlds sins cast upon his little body. Even though He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, He left Heaven to come to earth to be born in a horse and cattle stall. It probably was not the nicest of place for the one that was on his throne sitting next to the God that created all things. You would think He would have made a more grandiose entrance. From what I understand He (Jesus) is saving that arrival for another day.

So when you see that little baby in a crib, booster seat or stroller this season or even a young child on the hip of a parent; remember that the Savior came as a child and died a man on the cross for all our sins and transgressions for me and you.

I hope a smile is on your face I you read this, think about when you were a kid, or when your kids were just babies. The King of Kings came as a child for us in the lowest of low places but will return one day to make Heaven on earth a reality.

Talk to you soon.

So it's over.......now what?

The election has come and gone, now is the time to move forward as a country. We all have things we disagree with, don't believe in and somethings we could care less about. The one thing that really makes me stop and wonder, is the election is over and there is nothing you can do to change the outcome. Let us all now unite behind the newly elected President and pray for him, hold him accountable for when we disagree and congratulate him, when a good decision is made. President Obama, that is still very weird. I will commit myself to support our President because in doing so we support our country.

I am sick and tired of people unhappy with America, we are a blessed nation and with that comes people wanting to tear us apart. If you don't like our policies, beliefs, history and traditions......then leave.

We have seen the voice of the population speak and we should accept the decision in all issues that were on the ballot. In California they voted to ban same sex marriage...the people voted and they don't want it. Here in Arkansas, the people voted to have a lottery.....I may not want it but the people voted and now we must move on. Come on there are bigger things to worry about.....people need to get back to work and work hard, provide for their families and support the community in which they live. If you lose your job, go find another one. This is America and we have so many opportunities. It might not be what you are looking for but get a job, make some money and keep looking for the place God wants you to excel.

God is in control of all things and we should seek him in the good times and bad. Things are still looking bright for all of us. Keep looking up and try not to get caught up in the things and people that want to keep you defeated. God created you better than that. He loves you and wants you to have life and have it more abundantly.

State of the Union

As I write this blog, sorry for the delay in writing lately, many things have been on my mind but today, I want to talk about the state of the union. The union is the United States and our place in the world. America the beautiful, has been caught up in the gluttony of greed, pride, many sins of the flesh and eye. I have been one of those people caught up in this desire to try find things to fill a void in my life. Many of us Americans have been chasing things that once we find it or do it or achieve it, something is still missing. We have tried to achieve material wealth, financial security, personal pleasure and many are still void of satisfaction. In the current political race for President, we find ourselves searching for that leader that will make us the beautiful country that was so admired by many in years past. Currently we have foreign leaders on our homeland stating we are no longer a player in the financial world, we are no longer the military force to fear in the world. Whether or not this is true, I believe we are still the greatest nation in the world but perception is reality. ( We need a marketing makeover )We are perceived in the world as becoming weaker and losing our luster. God help us, find the place to be united once again. In war you want to divide, separate and then conquer your enemy. We can see the change in people's thoughts and processes as we are starting to separate and divide from within our own borders.

My heart breaks at the position we find ourselves in as a country and pray that we can reach a solution. Everything has a life cycle, God created it that way. I pray that we are not seeing the shift in power leaving the United States because we have left the principles God founded this country on, our founding Fathers were very wise men, they left England to have the freedom to worship God without being forced to join the state Church of England. The United States know has become the melting pot for religious freedom to the point that Christianity and the history of our blessings as been watered down to the point of being irrelevant in many people's life.

I would encourage you to find out the truth to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, which is stated in our constitution. We have left our first love and we are now in an very delicate position in history.

So, we are still very blessed compared to other nations in the world but we have moved along way from what America was created to be and do in this world. We need not panic but come back to our first love, the love of God, who created us to worship Him and connect with the Savior that died for us and rose again - Jesus Christ. Put your hope, trust and future in the one who controls all things. I have and feel very strong that everything will be OK.

Who are you going to put your trust in - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit or the government that passes out our hard earned tax dollars like it is candy at a parade.

I trust the one that established government.
