Do Not Let Your Heat Be Troubled

People Of God let's talk about the wisdom of not letting your heart be troubled.  I know easier said then done.  However, some of you can use the wisdom of God in the areas of being stress, fearful, full of anxiety and always worrying.  Some of you may feel you have no control over how much you worry.  How much you are in fear or how much you stress. Hopefully, I can provide you with enough wisdom nuggets to bring more control back into your life.  The first thing you must do is to learn how to trust God.  That is how I get through a lot of my troubles, I just simply trust God like a child trust a parent.  I have discovered in my daily walk with Jesus it is just easier to trust in Him for everything than to worry about anything.  Big or small I depend and lean on God.

When Jesus walked this earth He performed mighty miracles.  The most amazing thing is in John 14:12-14 Jesus promised we would do even greater acts than Him.  That should  bring some type of real revelation to someone on why we should not feel and live so powerless. You can drive out the spirit of fear, the spirit of stress and the spirit of anxiety using the name of Jesus.  It has already been promised to you.  If you could just get the revelation of what I am telling you, imagine the possibilities.  If you would take Jesus very own words literately without doubting in any area, every problem, every situation, every area of lack would be solved just like that.  It sounds so easy.  However, why are people not taking Jesus up on His offer?  I know I do.  My big brother said it and I just believe it.  What other alternative do you have?  I guess some of you are just content with the sleepiness nights, the ulcers, the margins, the depression all of those things are easier to believe in than the promises of Jesus.  It sounds crazy when you when read it out loud.  Did not our big brother Jesus Christ promised to leave us with a wonderful gift?  Or are you still wondering what that gift is?  The great gift of peace of mind!! The great gift of peace in our hearts!!  The world can't give us such a wonderful gift.  You can't even give yourself this type of gift. Only the Holy Spirit can deliver this gift to you personally.  All you have to do is accept it and your heart will start being less and less troubled everyday.  Now that's wisdom talking.

Being A Wounded Christian

This is a subject that won't seem to go away.  Christians being wounded.  It's really sad and so unnecessary.  We have all been in this position sometime or another in our Christian walk.  I have been there myself.  Some of us are still there and don't know how to escape this curse of being wounded at every church we run too.  Well, today you are going to stop running.  We are going to deal with these wounds and place you on the path to be wounded no more.  As your personal wisdom coach I am going to share with your the wisdom of God on this painful issue.

How does one get wounded in the church to start with?  It happens in so many ways.  Why does it even happen to begin with?  Do you really believe the devil doesn't go to church?  That would not be wisdom.  Where ever you are your enemy is always present looking for a way to devour you.  Thank goodness for the blood of Jesus that protects us from Satan constant attacks on our lives.
  If I had to list all the ways a person can get wounded in the church I think I may be writing this blog for the rest of my life.  I do want to cover the top reasons that so many of us do get wounded in the church.

The top reasons I believe people get wounded in the church is a spirit of rejection and emotions roam freely through out the church.
  I agree someone should put a stop to this.  Maybe the pastor, the bishop, the prophet, the elders, someone in leadership should stop this I can hear some of you saying.  Sad enough at times it can be the same people in leadership that can be causing the wounds.  It does not mean they were not called by God it just means they are not fully delivered themselves.  And if these people in leadership are not delivered then they can be use as a pawn by the enemy to wound the sheep.  I know some people in leadership would not agree with me.  All I can say to that is check yourself everyday with the word of God in every area of you life.  I know I have to.

The church should be a place of refuge from the attacks of the world and Satan.  When some of us come to the house of God we are so vulnerable and broken up from everything that is going on in our life.  Our emotions and hearts are wide open and we are looking for comfort and encouragement.  Trust me the spirit of rejection and the spirit of emotions knows that too.  That is why they are waiting for you right at the door as you enter into the church.  They don't come alone either.  They bring plenty of company with them into the church.  And who are some of their buddy's?  The spirit of hurt, low self-esteem, anger, bitterness, forgiveness, lust, pride, jealousy, insecurity, sadness, depression, self-accusation, self-condemnation, despair, competition, loneliness, independence, rebellion, selfishness, criticism, self-pity, possessiveness, perfectionism, outcast, guilt, fear, distrust, hardness, control, perverseness, compulsion, suicide, self-deception, shame, unworthiness, vanity, intolerance, frustration, impatience
, unfairness, pouting and believe it or not this is not even half the VIP buddy list. I want you to really take the time to get to know this buddy list.  So when you see one of them coming your way in church you can stand up to that spirit in the name of Jesus.  Let the Holy Spirit guide you and not the Spirit of emotions.

We have to learn how to be more sensitive to the Holy Spirit then our own emotions.  Sometimes Christians are wounded because they trust man over God.  They trust the voice of someone in leadership instead of the voice of God.  They want to belong with everyone else in the flock and not belong to God more.  Your shepherd is there to guide you, but never to take the place of Jesus. No matter how gifted they are even in the things of the supernatural, and you find it so much easier to trust someone you can touch and see, they can not take the place of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.


Everyone falls short to the Glory Of God even people in leadership.  It's not fair to put anyone in leadership on the same level as God.  You see someone in leadership falling short pray for them.  Don't run to another church and then gossip about them.  Pray for them. Remember your battle is not with them it is with that spirit that drove you away from your church home.  Your battle is with that principality.  Find out the name of that principality and renounce it.  Because if you don't they will just show up again with all their VIP buddies and drive you away from the next church too.  That spirit wants to wounded you not the pastor that didn't take your phone call, not the usher that didn't sit you in your regular seat, not intercessory team who did pray for you while you were in the hospital, not the prophet who didn't wave at you in the grocery store, not the choir director who didn't let you join the praise team these are not principalities.  Find out which spirit is trying to wound you and you deal with that spirit using the Word of God.  Now that's wisdom talking.

Please remember TalkShoe will no longer be conducted on Sunday's at 11am.  We will be doing a two hour show live every Sunday from 9am-11am starting in October.  Please visit my blog regular for new updates on our two hour Wisdom Talk Show.

The Timing Of God

Can any of us really understand the timing of God?  I will admit it can be hard at times.  It does require a lot of patience and faith on our part.  However, in the end it is always worth it.  It does help one to mature spiritually the more we understand how the timing of God works. As you know one day to our Father in heaven is a thousand years for us. Whatever we are experiencing in this realm has only been seconds in God's world.  Can you begin to imagine that?  It's like telling a person I will call you back in 15 minutes and the person calls you back in 3 seconds asking when are going to call. Until we can truly understand the timing of God our life issues will continue to have control over us.  Our lack of faith and trust in God's timing will continue to keep some of us up all night being stress over the things we have no control over.  We must practice having faith the size of a mustard seed.  Which isn't requiring a whole lot out of us when you realize the side of a mustard seed is less than one inch.  The adversary gets into some of our minds and try to make that one inch seem like trillions of feet.   We need to turn our thoughts around when that happens and see it only requires just a little faith and trust on our part to make great things happen in our life.  Then we can have the experience of truly knowing nothing would be impossible to deal with.  Trails and tribulations would become easier to deal with.  We would start to have understanding and wisdom in what Ecclesiastes 3 is all about.  Instead of being impatient because we can't understand why God is taking so long, we will start to embrace His wisdom on solving our situation in His perfect timing. Some of us just don't know how to have the joy of the Lord or the peace of God in our life while trails and tribulations are occurring.  All the worrying and being full of anxiety will not add another hour to your life span.  Studies show it will actually take away from your life span if you live with a lot of stress.  So you might as well wait on God and be full of joy knowing He is not a man that can lie.  If God can take care of those nasty weeds in your yard that won't stop growing, then surely we mean more to Him than that. I find the best way to take my mind off the troubles of this world is to go out and doing something for the Kingdom Of God.  Go make the devil real mad and confuse because you are not home being friends with the spirit of depression.  Before you know it time has flown by in your world and God's world and you now have the victory over your situation.  Now that's wisdom talking.

For your reading assignment in your journey to gain more wisdom from God let me suggest the "Kingdom Revolution".  If you are looking to bring change to your life and beyond this is the book for you.  For more information click on the image below.

Having A Spirit Of Sorrow

As you know there is a lot of sorrow in the world.  People are experiencing a lot of grief and pain in so many areas of their life.  This spirit leaves no one un-touched.  Rich, poor, race, gender, religious preference, no one is left un-touched.  So how does one deal with this spirit of sorrow?  How does on deal with any evil spirit?  As much as we don't want to hear this, repentance is our most powerful weapon.  Why else would the enemy spend so much of his efforts in trying to get you not to repent?  He wants you to think repentance is a bad word.  Better yet he wants you to feel some type of shame or condemnation.  However, repenting for your sins brings freedom.  It also closes all doors that a spirit of sorrow or any other spirit may use as a legal entrance into your life.  You literally take the keys away from that spirit who keeps using it to gain access into your life.  We must be careful of our thoughts and actions that invites a spirit of sorrow in our life.  Once a spirit of sorrow has gain access to your life it will bring other spirits such as a spirit of sadness, a spirit of angry, a spirit of suicide, a spirit of despair, a spirit of discouragement, a spirit of loneliness, a spirit of hopelessness, a spirit of grief, a spirit of pain, a spirit of brokenhearted and so many others.  Before you know it, it appears your whole life is out of control.  Notice I said appear, because that is what the enemy does he tries to trick us into thinking he is in control of our life.  It's only a trick a smoke screen and it can be lifted from your life.  I didn't get to be a wisdom coach for God without having to experience these same battles.  Now that I am set free it's my job to expose the enemy and all his tricks, so my other brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus can experience freedom in their life.  If you are experiencing a spirit of sorrow in your life, please remember God does not want you to stay bound by this spirit.  Only the spirit of sorrow is wanting to stay in your life.  It will use any trick, any lie, any smoke screen, any device from hell to stay in your life.  But you tell God today you want to be rid of the spirit of sorrow.  Tell Jesus to take all your sins away so you can be set free in your life.  Then you tell the spirit of sorrow it is now evicted from living inside you and you take those keys away from that spirit.  Trust in God even though this spirit will test your faith in God continue to trust in God for your deliverance.

How do you stay on fire for God?

How do you stay on fire for God?  Some of you would say it’s not easy, coach.  I say how could you not stay on fire for Him.  What are your choices?  You can't worry about what others are doing or are not doing around you. The word of God says; never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord. That comes from Romans 12:11 from the Amplified Bible.  If you don’t stay on fire about the things of God, I guess you could be on fire for the things of Satan.

The book of the day is from Bob Sorge and it's call "It's Not Business It's Personal". Jesus is not merely an entrepreneur who has found a promising enterprise on one of His planets. Rather, He is a ravished Bridegroom who has come to win the affections of a lovesick Bride. That makes it personal. Very personal. Jesus doesn't need leaders who have become adept at maximizing ministry opportunities; He needs friends who will selflessly serve His Bride out of personal devotion to Him.
In an age when ministry success is often measured by church growth statistics and name recognition, we must return to the simplicity of promoting Jesus' interests in the earth. Now that's wisdom!!  To get more details about this book, please click on the image below.

                                                


Having an effective prayer life


"Having an effective prayer life"


I want to thank everyone for joining us on TalkShoe Live this past Friday.  Coach Val and I were very honor that you spent your Friday evening with us.  We hope you were able to gain more wisdom and understanding on how to have an effective prayer life. Thank you for also being patience with us on using TalkShoe for the first time as we had to deal with some technical difficulties. If you hear any long pauses during the show continue to let it play the show has not ended.

To recap on some of the points that were discussed, remember to spend quality time with God's Holy Spirit in prayer.  You can not expect to have an effective prayer life without putting in the time.  Try to keep your mind clear of distractions during your prayer time.  Pray your prayers in faith.  God truly moves on faith and not on double minded faith. Take time to read God's Holy word so you can pray His word back to Him.  The more word you read, the more you can remind God of His own promises on a daily basis.

Coach Val and I look forward to seeing you on the next TalkShoe episode.

False Prophets & False Prophecies

What a powerful series Coach Val and I are doing on False Prophets & False Prophecies.  You don't want to miss this on going series.  Feel free to download part 3 of this series at the bottom of this blog.  Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4 of this series can be heard on our Internet Radio Station Serenity Closet.

The thing God wants me to remind His precious sons and daughters is to always rely on Him first.  I have seen to many of God's people wounded by these false prophets or prophetess.  God has commission me along with Coach Val to speak out against this madness.  You have some prophets and prophetess who are preying on people through these social networks on line. Be careful whom you form ties with.  In this series I will be going in depth into rather a prophecy you receive is from God or from another spirit.  Oh yes, the enemy can pass out information on you true or false.  Remember Matthew 24:24. These false prophets or prophetess will even be able to preform signs, wonders, miracles and a healing you need in your body.  However, what will it cost you to follow a person like this.  They will lead you into idolatry, because they will want praises for their actions along with other things they desire. They will lead you away from God.  Isn't that what the enemy wants is to separate us from the love of God and His blessings? All the prophecies you may receive from a false prophet or prophetess may sound good at first.  Then the enemy will start to turn on you and tear your life apart through these same people.  Remember a true prophet or prophetess will only speak the words of God and not their own.  It is God who is making the covenant with you and He will make good on His promises.  A word of wisdom, please pray about every prophecy you receive.  Do not let anyone stop you from seeking God on any prophecy.  That is a sure sign something is not quite right. Not everyone who says they are a man or woman of God is really from God.  Even the devil will come as an angel of light and he is no angel of light.

If you are looking for more wisdom and knowledge in this area of false prophets and false prophecies may I suggest the book below "Spoiling Pythons Schemes".  To get more information on this book, please click on the image of the book below.  Spoiling Pythons Schemes really breaks down how this spirit works, lies and seduces so many innocent people.

                                                                                                        

                                                   


Don't forget to join us on TalkShoe Live every Sunday morning at 11a.m.  I will be discussing in great detail on the subject of "False Prophets & False Prophecies".  Coach Val, myself along with the Holy Spirit will be taking all questions on this subject.

Praying For Others

I hope you enjoyed the wisdom nugget on Praying For Others.  If you want to increase the blessings in your life, pray for one person a day.  It will change your life.  If you don't understand what it means to have a prayer life or ministry, I have just the book for you. The Beginner's Guide To Intercessory Prayer.  Click on the image below to get more information on this book.  If you are wondering why I suggested this book it's because some of us really don't understand what Intercessory Prayer is all about.  So let's start with the basics and the Holy Spirit will give you wisdom on the rest.


                                                          


In order way to have an effective prayer life you have to get rid of as many distractions in a day as possible.  I agree, it is hard to do.  However, the rewards are amazing.  If people of other religions or cultures can find time to pray, meditate or both, why we as Christians can't.  My philosophy is, I will not be out done by the devil and all his angels. We can't continue to have this spirit of I am out for me first, because I have so much going on.  The enemy will make sure you continue to have something going on everyday of your life.  If you are wondering who will pray for you, if you are praying for others is Jesus not enough.  Trust me, if He has placed someone on your heart to pray for, then someone else just got your name placed on their heart to pray for you.  How powerful is that? 

I mentioned doing a Talkshoe show on Friday.  The show will start at 8p.m. There is a link available on the same side as the twitter updates.  I will be hosting a show Friday July 24th, 2009 for one hour.  We will talk more on having an effective prayer life.  Coach Val and I will be taking prayer request during this show.  I want to pray with you for anything you are believing Jesus for. So I hope you will join us on Friday, July 24th at 8p.m. 

May the peace of God always rest on your life.
