May 03, 2020Where Is God?
Where Is God – is a teaching to help us establish our faith in God, so we don’t have to wonder where he is when we need him. When trouble comes our way, that’s when we tend to approach the Lord for help, though we have not sought him night and day, we believe in our moment of need we can call on the Lord for help. God is trying to teach us to have a relationship with him and a connection with Son Christ Jesus doing good and bad times. So when we are in need and we call on the Lord, he is near us, and he will answer us. Otherwise, we will be trying to establish a connection with Christ while in the middle of the storm, what a terrible time to establish a relationship with God. The best time is when things are going well for us, so we can hear his voice, obey his Word, and not be hard of hearing in the mist of our crying and troubles. Glory to God, even when death is at our door, if we earnestly seek him, if we repent and humble ourselves before him, we can find the Lord. Where is God? He is on his throne with Christ at his side, working out his plan for mankind. Jesus is preparing a place for all who come to believe and live their lives through him. What is God doing? The Father and the Son are always are work, being patient because he wants no soul to be lost, giving us time to repent and turn back to him. Where is God, he is near us if we seek him, we will find God and not have to wonder.

April 27, 2020Waiting On The Lord
Waiting On The Lord – is a teaching to help us be able to wait on the Lord in the time of our need. It's hard to wait on the Lord. Our wants, desires, and plans puts us in a rush, chasing to get what we think we need. As Christians, we say we are waiting on the Lord, but if God does not come in the time we need him, we move forward with our plans. We need to learn how to wait on the Lord, his timing is always better. How do we wait on the Lord? We focus on the things God’s Word tells us to work on, like our salvation and our faith. Once we learn how to wait on the Lord, things will come easier for us, we have less stress, and enjoy the protection and peace of God. Learning to wait on the Lord, will lead us to draw closer to God, and he will draw closer to us. As we wait on the Lord, we will change, our thoughts will change, our desires will change, and we will lean on the Lord. We learn how to seek and wait on the Lord, doing nothing without the Lord leading and guiding us through. As we wait on the Lord, more and more blessings will come, more and more love will come, as we stand firm in the Lord

April 19, 2020Without Faith
Without Faith – is a teaching to help us understand just how damaging it is for us who are Christians to demonstrate a lack of faith in God. Not only will it affect our relationship with the Father and his Son, it will also cause issues with those we share our faith with. Because in some situations, in some circumstances instead of us showing our faith in God, we operate without faith. It will also confuse our children, as we teach them how much God is in control. Yet, when a storm comes upon our family, we look like we have no faith in God. We must believe, we must trust, we must have faith in God, at all times. There can be no situation where you and I are without faith. Without faith, we will disobey the Lord. Without faith, we will not trust and believe in our time of need. Without faith, we will have large mountains in our life we cannot overcome. Mountains of fear, worry, financial debt, sickness, enemies, failures, mountains of pride and arrogance. If we develop complete faith in God, he will remove each and every mountain that stands in our way of serving and pleasing him.

April 13, 2020The Word
The Word – is a teaching to help us see God’s Word as intended so we live by it today. We may read a lot of books, as we educate and entertain ourselves, but there is no more important book to read than The Word of God. It is the one book that can change and save lives. God’s Word has been translated many times, from one generation to another so we can read The Word and apply it. Some translations are founded on the old way of speaking, while others are so loosely translated it loses its meaning. We have to find a translation that moves us to know God better, to know God’s Will, to have a real relationship with Christ Jesus, and so the Spirit can be at work in us. If we receive as God intended, it will lead us to change our life and live in Christ. God protects his word, so we can believe and have faith in what God has spoken, in what Christ Jesus has revealed, and what the Spirit is doing and teaching God’s people. God brought forth his word through several means, he showed visions, he spoke directly to others. God had his word written down, so we come to know, believe, and obey it. Then God did an amazing thing, he sent his Son into the world to demonstrate how to live by his Word, so we can have faith in it, believe it, and live it. Christ became a Living Word so it could live in our hearts, and be alive in us. Upon Christ Jesus's departure, once again God did an amazing thing, through Christ the Holy Spirit was made available to those who placed their faith in him. Through Christ, God’s people can have a spiritual connection with Christ and the Father. God is Spirit, we must come to him in spirit so we live with The Word in our heart and have confidence in our salvation.

April 05, 2020Living Witness
Living Witness – is a teaching to help us become what the Lord has called us to be, a living witness for the Lord. While this may sound like a simple thing to do, it is not. Being called to be a witness of God, comes with a lot of responsibility and accountability. We cannot be what the Word of God calls a false witness, one who pours out lies and falsehoods about God, when the Lord has not led, nor spoken to them. We cannot be a witness of God, when our desire is for greed, to make a name for ourselves, or to have others worship us. A false witness never keeps to the Word of God, they are always wandering off, speaking of their desires and not God’s. We have to be a truthful witness for God, one whose words come from God’s Word, one who listens to the voice of Christ and is led by the Spirit. We know we are a living witness because what we testify of is God, and not ourselves. We know we are a living witness of God because the things we testify of is that which God has poured into us, that which the Lord has reshaped in us, so our testimony is real and not fake. We live it, it changed us, and now we testify of it. We are a witness of God’s greatness and goodness, of the loving-kindness of Christ Jesus, and the many things the Lord worked out in our lives. We live it, we are faithful to it, we testify of it.

March 30, 2020Expectations
Expectations – is a teaching to help us establish our faith having right and godly expectations so what we seek from God is something God would do because he spoke about it in his Word. Like any relationship, if it starts out base on lies and falsehood, there is no way right expectations can be set that would help the relationship grow and be established in love and truth. Sooner or later, all the lies and false things done and spoken will cause the relationship to fail. If we speak the truth and walk with a right heart, then when we set expectations within our relationships it will be everlasting and produce good things, and never fail because we established the relationship with right and godly expectations which causes the relationship to grow and mature. Right and godly expectations not only makes relationships with each good and perfect; it also makes our relationship with God good and perfect.

March 17, 2020Desires
Desires – is a teaching about our desires. To establish our faith properly in Christ, grow and mature, we have to recognize our desires. Unfortunately, we come from the world, most of our desires are bad, creating sinful thoughts in us, which manifest many sins. God desire is for us to learn of him, to take on the attitude of his Son Christ Jesus, so through the work of the Spirit our desires become good, which makes us do good. This is not as easy as it may sound. This is not about our good intentions, or how good we think of ourselves. This is about conducting a real examination of our desires, and how our desires drive our motives and actions. In coming to grip with my desires, we recognize bad and sinful desires in me. I had to have a real conversation with the Lord about helping me put my bad desires to death. Again, this is not easy, almost all our desires are bad or have sinful motives behind them. Why we do something is just as important as what we do. Are our desires selfish, for pleasure, for greedy, harmful to others, immoral, hateful, or they prideful? Bad desires lead to a sinful action and sinful decisions. Thanks be to God, through Christ Jesus, we can take all our bad desires to the cross and ask the Lord to help us overcome them. Christ came so we can be free, it starts with us being free from bad and sinful desires which leads to sin. As we grow and mature in the Lord, we have to develop good desires in us that leads to us making good decision, having good motives, which leads to us carrying out good works, which pleases God.

March 08, 2020Somebody To God
Somebody To God – this is a teaching to help us stay encouraged as the Lord works in our lives. Before we knew the Lord, many of us felt like we were nobody, no one cared about us, no one loved us, and no one paid attention to us. We felt like it did not matter if we lived or died. Then someone introduced us to Christ, or we heard a call from God. The Lord took us by the hand and started to teach us through his Word, Son, and Spirit as we learned we are somebody to God. He created us for a purpose, and he wants to save us. We allowed the Lord to make changes in our beliefs, in our thinking, in our behavior, and in our walk. The Lord lifted us up, made us somebody, and others started to take notice, as we begin to prosper, being blessed by God. We can never forget that we had nothing, we were nothing before the Lord came into our life. We can’t get caught up in the name the Lord made for us, the people who recognize us, or the money that flows our way. All this is so we can be of service to God, in helping his people, and not helping ourselves. We have to remember that the Lord gives, and he takes away. We must remain humble, faithful, and obedient to the Lord, so blessings continue to flow our way. We must show and share with others so they know they can become somebody in Christ Jesus. We were nobody until the day the Lord made us somebody by the work of the Holy Spirit. Let us rejoice and give glory to God. Walk-in fear, so we don’t fall because we took our eyes off the purpose.

February 29, 2020Way Maker
Way Maker – is a teaching about how Christ Jesus came and made a way for us to receive the salvation of God. He poured out his blood so we have a way to come out of darkness, and enter into his wonderful light. But many of us are stuck in a religious nightmare, because we are being taught to seek God through religious practices, and not through the way the Lord has made. Christ Jesus is calling us to fully cross over to him, to follow the path that he has laid out for us, and not seek our own path. This is where we must grow in our faith. In the beginning, we continued to try to make a way for ourselves, asking the Lord to bless the desires of our hearts. As we continue to grow in the Lord, our desires are changed by the Lord, and we turn from seeking our own way, to seeking the way of the Lord. He and no one else can make a way for us so we can stand in him, and in the promises of God. We recognize that without Christ as our way maker, we could not find our way, we would not know the way to the kingdom of God. Thanks to his wonderful light, it lights up a path underneath our feet so we can stay to the path God has called us. We can’t turn away, where would we go? The Lord has made a way for us.

February 24, 2020God's Truth
God’s Truth – is about being able to receive God’s Truth into our hearts. We live in a different world today, we have changed, we are not seeking God’s Truth as we did in the past. Now we want God’s Word to change, so it makes the things we want to do right, though God’s Word calls it a sin. We are fulfilling scripture that says, we will call a lie, truth, and truth a lie. We have become very good at taking something that is false and speaking as if its truth. As Christians, this a very dangerous road for us to be on. Like all things, it’s not easy facing the truth about ourselves, about others, and about what God has spoken. God’s Truth will challenge us, it will cause us to have to change our ways, change our plans, and change our direction. God’s Truth, which is his Word, is a double edge sword, that penetrates, it divides soul, spirit, joints, and marrow. It judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. God’s Truth will start to sooth our hearts once we have fully accepted it, allow it to change us, for the better. It will humble us, for the better. It will guide us onto the path that leads to salvation.
