Investing Your Life In Others

 

Taking time out of our TOO busy schedule to invest time with our dear friends Christine and Michael Rhia. What a blessed time we had! Give a friend your time today and be blessed.

Many today do not have deep relationships because they do not invest their lives in others resulting in shallow roots. Likewise many do not have a deep relationship with the Lord because they do not invest time with Him resulting in shallow spiritual roots.

Life is not about things. Life is about relationships with God and with others.

My book “Developing A Secret History With God” will encourage and inspire you to invest time developing your spiritual root structure.

Look Up !!

Sorrow looks back

Guilt looks down

Worry looks around

Faith looks up!

Psalm 121:1-2 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
from whence cometh my help.
 My help cometh from the Lord,

 

Three of the Greatest Saints in His Kingdom.

Mark 10:44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. 

Who is the greatest in the Kingdom? Angel, Lourdes and Sam have all served us in so many ways in our ministry and personally. They have encouraged and cheered us to mountain tops, stood with us and walked through many valleys with us lifting our arms when we grew weary. May they be an inspiration to us all. They have been God’s Hand extended to us so many times! Thank you, Lord, for these servants and dear friends you placed in our lives.

In God We Trust?

Our Schools are failing — We forbade Him in the classroom

Our Courts — Many of our courts have removed the Ten Commandments

Our Homes — We often complain our children can’t pray in schools yet fail to pray with them  in our homes.

Our Law and Order — When we have no respect or fear of God we will have no respect for any authority of police, schools or parents.

Our Sexuality — Even the very core of our creation by God as male and female is being challenged.

Our Gift of Life — We loose respect for life when we murder the unborn. As you read this there will be 3,700 babies murdered today. Since 1973 there have been 58 million babies legally killed in the U.S.A.

In all aspects of our lives we have tried to delete God’s law of sowing and reaping, leaving us with an immature  society void of personal responsible.

Political correctness is strangling our laws and the very breathe of our nation as we abuse the words “Separation of Church and State which are not even in the constitution.

So where did the words “Separation of Church and State.” come from? They can be traced back to only a letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote back in 1802. In October 1801, the Danbury Baptist Association of Connecticut wrote to President Jefferson, and in their letter they voiced some concerns about Religious Freedom. On January 1, 1802 Jefferson wrote a letter to them in which he added the phrase “Separation of Church and State.” When you read the full letter, you will understand that Jefferson was simply underscoring the First Amendment as a guardian of the peoples religious freedom from government interference.

When Thomas Jefferson wrote his letter to the Danbury Baptist Association he never intended the words “Separation of Church and State” to be taken out of context and used as a substitute for the First Amendment, but for all practical purposes that is exactly what the courts have done.

“I tremble for my country,” said Thomas Jefferson, “when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.” –

A sobering warning from George Washington on April 30, 1789, when he delivered his famous Inaugural Address to both Houses of Congress. “We ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” He had just taken the oath of office on the balcony of Federal Hall in New York City, with his hand upon a Bible opened to Deuteronomy, Chapter 28:And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.

George Washington also wrote this about what he felt made America great:

“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”

To make America great again we need God back in our government, society, homes, schools, and our lives.

Give The Great Physician Permission

A few weeks ago I fell and broke my hip and was warned that if I didn’t have surgery as soon as possible I would never walk again. As I was being wheeled into surgery to have the hip replacement I remember Dr. Darren Friedman taking the time to put his initials on the hip he was going to replace. He would only be putting a new hip on the leg with his name.

The Lord used this as a window to my soul.

Likewise The Great Physician also writes His Name on the foreheads of those that He will be working on as we go down to the Potter’s house and place ourselves on the wheel of transformation. This is where He will remove our heart of stone and give us a heart of flesh.

Just as I signed a paper to give the doctor permission we must also voluntarily give the Lord permission to perform surgery on our hearts. He will only work on those hearts with His Name engraved.

Revelation 14:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

Jeremiah 18:3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.

Ezekiel 36:26 6 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. 

CHALLENGE: Are you broken today? Give the Great Physician permission to perform the surgery and He will give you a new heart that will enable you to walk a new way.
