Wake Up Our Pulpits


I wonder if we, as believers, just sit in the church pews Sunday morning half asleep? Oh yeah, we sit and hear messages of social gospel and nice things and good people and how we can be good people, and how it’s good enough just to be good people. We hear how we can better help our world and our government by making good choices! Or perhaps we do hear powerful, Biblical sermons but yet not really hear the words nor be impacted enough to let them change our lives. We come, we smile, we chat, we go and we walk to our cars feeling like we’ve done our duty to attend and yeah we’ve given God His Sunday time, possibly our tithe, maybe even our talent but deep inside our hearts are empty, cold ~ and far from the Father, the Sovereign One who longs to have real fellowship with us. What is it we don’t get? What is we don’t understand? Time on this earth is so short yet we find all manner of fault, and judge from critical hearts calling the shots for others to put them in their place, while all the while our own problem/s goes undetected and unnoticed by our own heart. If we’re all in the same boat and for the same cause of Christ and His salvation, then why are we not all on the same page? It doesn’t make sense! Our own selfish, spiritual blindness is our downfall and our spiral downward. We are so easily deceived and don’t even recognize it.

It’s time to wake up our pulpits and shake up our sleepy souls for such a time as this, when our world reels out of order, under every manner of evil, under the power of our enemy, the father of lies.

God IS in control but His holiness can’t look upon the wicked sin that has infiltrated even into our churches because of hidden agendas, hearts, hardened in selfish ambition and compromising life styles. Truth is, as believers, God’s call on our heart is to be salt and light to a world in desperate need! God has given clear warning of judgment and we hear it but do we really hear? Are we getting it? Are we understanding the reality of it? The people of Noah’s day, didn’t get it and faced God’s judgment! They woke up when the rains began but it was too late for their salvation. The people of Sodom and Gomorrah didn’t get it and their wicked city was destroyed!

People of God ~ it is time to stand on holy ground without compromise and march the victory march with the Sovereign God whose deepest desire is to bring sinners into His Kingdom. To save them, forgive them, change them and renew their lives, through the power of His cleansing blood. Oh let it be our desire to reach out of of our comfort zones, and into the lives of needy souls, desperate for hope! Now is the time,people of God, to influence our world and share the Gospel message of salvation before the fire falls from heaven.

“No one lights a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or hides it under a bed. A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light can be seen by all who enter the house. For all that is secret will eventually be brought into the open, and everything that is concealed will be brought to light and made known by all. So pay attention to how you hear. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what they think they understand will be taken away.”
Luke 8: 16, 17, 18

Luke 8: 22
“One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and started out……

As disciples, let’s embark on a holy journey, out of our comfort zones and cross to the other side of the lake.

Our Crazy Mixed Up World


So there’s a whole lot of us wondering what’s going to happen next in our crazy, mixed up world. We’ve removed God from our schools and sadly invited the enemy inside when we made such a careless move. We’ve condoned the murdering of babies and called it a mother’s choice. We’ve legalized Sodom and Gomorrah behaviour in our civilized countries and called it human rights, while the normal world that once was able to speak up, now cowers in fear for their safety. Yeah, it’s some kind of serious perplexity that we live in, within our surroundings about now and wonder what’s up and what’s up next. Yeah, it’s time for those who call themselves believers to pray like never before to our Sovereign God, our Creator of the heavens and earth; to our God who knows it all! It’s time to pray earnestly for His powerful hand to move against the god of this world. Remember dear soul, prayer changes things. Prayer to a God who can change hearts, and renew lives will bring revival to a world in need. So you and I and we and us, let’s get moving through prayer. Let’s get the fire of revival spreading powerfully across our lands and through our countries through prayer to a God who is in complete control and will move in judgement against the evil that stalks us and haunts us. We need to be solidly grounded in our faith, so that nothing will shake us nor move us from it in the days ahead. We need an army of believers, believing the Truth. standing on the Truth, claiming and proclaiming the Truth and on the march for it’s power to be heard and seen across our nations. We need an army of believers praying for the Truth to be ignited within souls across our lands. Are you in?

Oh yeah, It has to begin within our own personal, beautiful soul before it can spread to others within our circles of influence. Now is the time to stand on holy ground and pray like we’ve never prayed before! To enter into powerful praise and worship to our Heavenly Father with holy hearts, holy lives and holy hands! It has to be a whole lot of real. We can’t speak for the truth and live a lie ‘cuz that’s ‘make believe’ and that doesn’t cut it on the spiritual battle field. Remember the enemy will not win here! God will move in judgement, so let’s grab the victory shirt and reach the finish line without fear! You are in right? ~k

Psalm 59:16
“But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength; Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning, For You have been my stronghold And a refuge in the day of my distress.”

Are The Rats Winning?


So ~ are the rats are winning in your life? Those icky, ugly subjects that just keep creeping into your world from all manner of corners? Are the enemies, whatever they might be, closing in on your space, leaving you feeling claustrophobic, maybe weakened and ready to give up? Addictions to sinful ways, that maybe you want desperately to let go of but can’t? Has some sort of failure left you ready to throw in the towel and forget life? Well, beautiful soul, if the rats are winning, stop feeding them, because you see, If we feed them with attention, negative thinking, fear, worry or maybe compromise, without doubt they will take the lead and eventually win! Rather than being caught and dealt with, they catch and deal. Ahh, yes, but the good news is this ~ as believers in a Sovereign God, full of grace and mercy, we have within our reach a potential and powerful element to aid us in dealing with the unpleasantries, addictions, hard places and hard knocks of life’s bad choices! As followers of Christ we are not vulnerable to the sin that tries to ensnare but we are totally secure in the one true God, who is over and above all, and we can know that we can know, that the Christ of the Cross has brought us victory over the evil one and his relentless counterparts. So today, yeah you, today ~ get up and face it head on! Do you know Him personally? Because if you do, there is not room for rats in your life and we need to clean up and out-smart them by using the right bait! Above all, Stand firm in the Light of Truth and claim the powerful words and promises of Christ! Submit to God and watch the rats scurry helter skelter to find a safer location far away from the victorious promises of God that threaten to take them out.

James gives us such powerful advice in his letter to the twelve tribes and to us today, in James 4: 7
“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and He will come near to you. Wash your hands , you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double minded…..humble yourselves before the Lord and He will lift you up.”
Just do it and beat the rats at their own game today.

Your Passion

Little Thoughts For Big Days
Little Thoughts For Big Days

So you there, beautiful soul, sitting right there this morning ~ what makes your heart tick today? I mean, besides the sovereign God who brilliantly breathed life into you and created you to be just you and just as you are? What motivates you and drives you and what is that passion in your soul that ignites and blazes a way through the thick of things just to be there? Enjoy it all, but take care and beautiful one, if you don’t see our sovereign God in it, it can quickly become as a golden god! One that selfish pleasure carves out of good things and wonderful things to become a default, maybe an obsession or an over the top ‘go-to’ to hide behind. Let’s remember in our moments of passion to step back and down a notch or two! Yeah, just take a deep breath and remember to include God in all of it ~ in your plans, your schedules, and what you say “Yes” to. Ask Him to direct your steps through the thickest of your passions, your desires, your life, your work, your worry, your marriage, your kids, your ministries, your hobbies, and whatever it is that has your mind and your heart wrapped around it’s little finger. God desires for His children to enjoy laughter and fun. He really does ~ and Proverbs 17: 22 confirms for us that “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” Oh yes, we want a merry heart and hearts that laugh and enjoy the gift of life that God has given us but so many of us experience the dried up broken spirits rather than the joy. We need the “Happy” but not at the expense of missing the joy of knowing the God who gives the life, the talents, the gifts, the kids, the job, and the ministries. Not at the expense of missing out on the abundant life that we can have in Christ, while here on this earth and the awesomeness of sharing eternity with our Saviour and our King. He’s given us the breath, the life, the journey, the passion, the hobby, now include Him in the walk, the talk, the thoughts and the actions. God is our soul purpose for living, so find Him right there where you are! Include Him and walk with Him and be the pure, beautiful soul that He’s made you to be. Forgiven and Free in Christ, joyful in spirit, saturated in His amazing grace, and blessed abundantly to do His work and enjoy His gifts. He’s got it all for you and He’s got you. Let His light guide and His divine power blaze the way through the thick of it all and walk you through!
