New Creation

I do this little exercise with my class, where they make for me out of playdough a circle, square,
and triangle. After they finish, I show a picture of the earth that God created. I then show them
the most beautiful mountains, along with a photo of crystals. The point I am trying to make is
that Satan sells us the playdough version of our life which we are living, and we need to learn to
allow God to transform us into that new creature in Christ. Let’s just say you are the best artist
in the world; you still would require a medium to work with to make your creation. God called
into being that which does not exist.
Have you ever heard in your head, “This is the best that life will ever be for you” or “You will
never change?”
While the ladies and I were discussing all those discouraging comments, Satan says to us, one of
the ladies shocked me. Not that I had never heard the daunting statement she said she heard
but that I just heard it a few days ago myself. “This is your life.” I was on my staycation, and I
walked into my office, and as I looked around, I heard that statement as plain as day. The words
were felt in a drudgery type of way. As I looked around the room, I remember rejecting the
thought and saying back, “I love my life.” It is curious how the mundane but necessary chores in
life are presented to us as worthless. Really?
“May the Lord reward your work, and your wages be full from the Lord, the God of Israel, under
whose wings you have come to seek refuge Ruth 2:12.”
Most of our lives are repetitive actions. That does not mean that our lives are inferior because
of this fact. There is great value in the jobs that God blessed us with to do. What is useless is
allowing Satan to estimate your significance. If we believe that we were created with a purpose,
then we should only let God give voice about our life. When you begin to question your worth
in this world, remind yourself that Jesus died for you. Enough said! Now let’s go back with
praise to our routines.

There is Life and Death in the Tongue

  There is life and death in the tongue. In the beginning, God created man to be in authority. Since the fall of man, many now see any so-called authority in our words, as crazy superstition or demonic. By perverting the concept, Satan has us speaking negative words in doubt and unbelief. We are literally cursing our own destinies because we do not understand that from the beginning, words were used to create. Now, evil uses words to destroy with constant negative, complaining, and destructive talk. It is everywhere, and the church is participating. Jesus has taken all authority from Satan and returned it to His children. Being ignorant concerning precisely what the blood of Christ at the cross has restored to us, we are still declaring ourselves destined for illness and great sorry on this earth. Many have confused trials and tribulations as one’s lot in life, so we then do not speak in authority against it because we believe Sovereign God wants us sick and hur...

Fast Part Two

  I have been mulling over the part fasting should be playing in the age of grace. For two weeks, I have questioned my friends about why they fast. Most of my friends said the same thing: to get close to God or hear God. My friends are kind and allow me to challenge their thought processes or debate them concerning their answers. Yesterday at church, God finally brought a complete response to me about fasting. Imagine yourself on a date or having an intimate dinner with someone, and they took out their phone and started scrolling. What if you were talking to a friend and they walked away from you to do something else? How would you feel if someone you loved screened their calls and refused to pick up the phone to talk with you? All three of those scenarios are how we treat God. God looks at the relationship with His people as a marriage. There is not one marriage that can survive without intimacy or that special closeness withheld for only one. When we read ve...

The Silent Majority Must Find Their Voice

  One thing I have learned in the almost eleven years of mission ministry is if someone believes a lie, there is nothing you can do or say that will convince them otherwise. Only God can reveal the truth and open the heart to receive it. Lies based on fear, I believe, take root at the core to shore up an eroding foundation. As Christ-followers, we tell our children the danger of building your house upon the sand. Ironically, Satan entered the Church and convinced God’s people that God does not heal anymore; therefore, the foundation of healing became sand for many. So for the last two years, fear has struck the hearts of God’s people with one medical fear after another. The results became leaders of the Church proclaiming secular practices and bragging they had done their part and the trust in God eroded a little more and more. Those that can see the truth that has watched secular spiritualism invade our church family are at a loss as to what to do. Maybe becaus...
