God Knows What You Don’t

Friday, 05 March, 2010 11:21 Written by Pastor Bruce 0 Comments

Are you in a place where you need to know something?

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. – James 1:5-6 NKJV

As much as you know, you do not know it all and you need wisdom…daily. God is the God of all wisdom. He knows all and wants to reveal things to us! This is great news!

We do not have to walk around in the dark and stumble. We can know what to do at all times.

We must ask God for His wisdom in faith and expect to receive direct, divine revelation from our Heavenly Father!

If you are dealing with a challenge or circumstance that you have no idea how overcome and exit victoriously, ASK GOD FOR WISDOM! Expect to hear His voice, follow the guide (the mighty Holy Spirit!).

God desires that you walk in His wisdom and counsel. Not only does He desire for you to walk in His ways and His wisdom, He has opened the door and has invited you to ask.

Ask and receive. Spend time with Him and He will show you things to come. He will speak to you and settle every issue that you are dealing with. He already knows what you need to know!

They Continued

Wednesday, 24 February, 2010 09:09 Written by Pastor Bruce 0 Comments

Ever felt like giving up?

And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. – Acts 2:42 (KJV)

We all have the opportunity everyday to quit, run and hide. BUT we must continue steadfastly!

Continue in: 1) The Word – Read, study and meditate the Word of God as much as you can daily. 2) Fellowship – Get involved in a local church where iron sharpens iron and your church family can exhort you. 3) Breaking of bread – Receive communion – the Lord’s Supper – regularly, at home and at church. 4) Pray – without ceasing and before you do anything. Give yourself to prayer, listen to the voice of God.

It is our job to continue. To continue steadfastly means to make a choice to do what you know to do. God can only give you the strength to do what you have determined in your heart to do and then begin to move toward it. Don’t sit down in the mully grubs and whine and complain, get up, dust yourself off and get moving! Re-focus, re-fuel and get moving towards all that God has for you! Jer. 29:11 You can do more than you ever thought you could do but you must CONTINUE!

Spirit Filled, Spirit Led

Friday, 12 February, 2010 10:48 Written by Pastor Bruce 0 Comments

How full are you?

And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, – Ephesians 5:18 NKJV

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. – Romans 8:14 NKJV

We are able to be led by the Spirit of God to the degree that we are filled by the Spirit of God. If you are wandering around not knowing where to go or how to get there, get full of the Spirit of God! BE FILLED!

We are instructed to walk in the spirit and not after the flesh. I have found in my own life that it is so much easier to walk in the spirit when I am filled with the Spirit of God. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is not a once in a lifetime occurrence. There is one initial infilling but many subsequent refillings. The number one way to be refilled is to enter into the presence of God and yield yourself the very same way that you first received the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Reach up to God and out in faith, begin to worship Him from the heart and in other tongues and out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water that will refresh and renew you!

As you are full of the Holy Spirit expect to become more sensitive to His voice and leading. He desires to show you which way to go and what steps to take! Stay filled with Him and direction comes much easier.

Seeking First?

Monday, 11 January, 2010 09:50 Written by Pastor Bruce 0 Comments

What do you long for and desire more than anything?

But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. – Matt. 6:33 AMP

There will always be the temptation to worry and fret about “things”…what to wear and what to eat…how are we going to pay all the bills…etc. BUT we are instructed by Jesus to do something that will cause that worry, fear and dread to go away.

Seeking first the Kingdom of God is not just something that sounds good to quote. It is something that we must do on a daily basis if we are to live above the “cares of this world”. By seeking first the Kingdom of God we are lifted up so that we begin to see things from God’s perspective (on a higher level). Putting the Word of God and prayer in it’s rightful place puts everything else in it’s rightful place.

Our number one priority must become our spiritual growth and health! We must give attention to God through prayer and the study of His Word if we desire to walk in His peace (Phil. 4:6) and have good success (Joshua 1:8). There is no substitute and no excuse…we must.

Seek first His Kingdom on a daily basis by studying and meditating on a chapter a day then pray…ask the Lord to show you His will for your life…then get ready for all those things that you need to be given to you!

It’s His Word and it works, prove it!

In With the New

Monday, 04 January, 2010 11:19 Written by Pastor Bruce 0 Comments

Challenge yourself! Reach, stretch and press forward.

Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other. – Matthew 12:13 NKJV

Jesus healed the man with the withered hand but first asked the man to do something in faith. At Jesus command he stretched out his hand. I can imagine that the man did not want to even show his hand. Most people with a withered hand want to cover it up and hide it out of embarrassment. But Jesus asked this man to do what he could do and with that action Jesus did what only He could do. His power totally restored the man’s hand.

In this new year of 2010 God wants us to begin to do things that we have never done before! But we have to stretch and reach out. We have to take a step of faith and do what we know that we should do. Even though what you must do might be something that you do not want to do and might be embarrassing to you, the power of God will meet you and cause you to succeed!

Ask the Lord what He would have you to do this year. Do something that you have never done before. STRETCH! Lose that 30 pounds that you have been needing to lose, pay off all the credit cards, establish a time of daily prayer and study of God’s Word, love your family like never before. Do it! Just stretch and God will meet you and His power will cause you to succeed.
