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...

Restoration From Our Shepherd!!!

These are very trying times we live in today. Things are happening around us so fast that it is sometimes difficult to know where to go or where to turn. We can easily become stressed and weary of doing the same old grind, day after day, uncertain about what is lying just around the next corner. Well, our Shepherd knows!! He knows our every need, our every hurt, our every pain. He knows that we will grow weary in our pilgrimage with Him as well. He knows that there are times when we need to rest. Our Shepherd also knows what we need to be refreshed. At times, we do need to lie in lush meadows or beside quiet streams. Sometimes we need to be held by our Shepherd. At other times we need to enjoy the pleasures the Shepherd provides. And, our Shepherd will not always replenish us the same way; His response to us will always correspond to our present need, if we will ask Him. "He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake." Psal...

Sunday Sermon: Easter!!!

Easter Sunday! “I Know That My Redeemer Lives!” Scripture: Job 1,2,13,19:25-26,23 Introduction: You may never have heard of Robert King Merton, the Columbia University sociologist who died in 2003, but I will bet that you have heard some of the phrases he coined like, self-fulfilling prophecy, and unintended consequences. I would like you to know that it was Merton that invented focus groups and popularized serendipity. Serendipity, by the way, means the accidental discovery of something pleasant, valuable, or useful. It was Merton who coined the phrase role model to describe someone who provides an example of popular behavior. The term may be new, but the concept is as old as the Bible. I would like to say that if you want a role model of someone transformed by the message of Easter, you can find it in the book of Job. You might be saying, “Job!?!” “But he lived before Christ.” Guess what? You are exactly right! But the book of James chapter 5 verse 10-11 tell us that Job is a role mo...
