God's Revelation? His Invitation!!!

There are a lot of us Christians that spend a huge amount of time talking to each other about "seeking God's will," as though it were hidden and difficult to find. Let me be frank today, God does not hide His will. His will is not difficult to discover. We do not have to plead with Him to reveal His will to us. Quite the contrary, He is more eager to reveal His will than we are willing to receive it! We sometimes ask God to do things that He has already done!

"Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets." Amos 3:7.

Let's look at the people in Amos's day for a moment. They had become disoriented to God and His desires. God had revealed His will to them; the problem was that they had not recognized it or obeyed it. Amos declared that God does nothing in the affairs of humanity without seeking one of His servants to whom He will reveal His activity. Tragically, there are times when no one is walking closely enough with Him to be receptive to His Word.

Jesus walked so intimately with His Father that He was always aware of what the Father was doing around Him. Jesus said that if our eyes are pure, they will see God and recognize His activity. Friends, if we are not seeing God's activity in our lives, or around us, the problem is not a lack of revelation. The problem is that our sin prevents us from noticing it! If our spiritual eyes are pure, we will be overwhelmed by all that we see God doing around us. However, if we have allowed sin to creep into our lives, we will be "out of tune" to what God is doing. We do not need more revelation, we need more repentance!! We need to turn back to the Lord, understand His complete will given to us through His Word, and then wait for Him to invite us to join Him in His redemptive work. If we are looking for God's will inn our life, maybe we are looking in the wrong places. Maybe we need to look inside of our own hearts first? Could be that God's will for our life is already there? Only you know!

May God Richly Bless You Today!! H Trent!

Thinking About Calling Down Fire!?!

James and John were refered to as "the Sons of Thunder" in the Bible. When they discovered a Samaritan village that would not receive Jesus, they were fully prepared to call down fire to consume the entire community. "And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?" Luke 9:54. Maybe they felt that through such a show of power, the gospel message might be enhanced. The two brothers were willing to sacrifice the lives of the village in order to further the cause of the gospel. However, Jesus rebuked them! Later, the apostles heard that Samaria had responded to the gospel. Guess who was commissioned to go and help them receive the Holy Spirit? None other but Peter and John! It was God's purpose that the people not be destroyed but saved! God chose not to rain down fire on the village, but to shower it with His Holy Spirit! I wonder what w

On Earth as it is in Heaven!

  As believers, I know that we question the situations and culture that we find ourselves in during these times.  We wonder what has happened to our world and why are things happening as they are.  I also hear fellow brothers and sisters in Christ complaining that something should be done, but they themselves do not want to get involved. Lastly, why aren't the miracles and power of God not being manifest during our lifetime?  The answer my friends is that we have forgotten to Whom we belong and that the battle is always fought on our knees!  To many, this could be a passive way of stating that this is all that we can do, but I would like to say that we need a change of thinking and praying in order to start seeing the results that we so desperately desire!  I want us to really take a deep look at the Lord's Prayer: "In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.   Give us this

The Fruit of the Spirit!!

As one examines what the Scriptures teach about the fruits of the Spirit, you could be intimidated. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23. Working all nine of these traits into our life seems impossible, and it is. However, the moment we became Christians, the Holy Spirit began a divine work to produce Christ's character in us. Let me say this, regardless of who you are, the Spirit works from the same model, Jesus Christ. The Spirit looks to Christ in order to find the "blueprint" for your character. The Spirit will immedately begin helping you experience and practice this same love that Jesus had when He laid down His life for His friends. The same joy He experienced will be filled in you. The identical peace that guarded the heart of Jesus, even as He was being beaten and mocked, will be the peace that the Spirit
