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.

The Right Side

Wednesday, 06 January, 2010 12:30 Written by Pastor Bruce 0 Comments

Have you been casting your net on the wrong side of the boat?

So Jesus said to them, Boys (children), you do not have any meat (fish), do you? [Have you caught anything to eat along with your bread?] They answered Him, No! And He said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find [some]. So they cast the net, and now they were not able to haul it in for such a big catch (mass, quantity) of fish [was in it]. – John 21:5-6 AMP

Good news,…there is a right side to your boat and Jesus knows which side is the RIGHT side! Our job is to be attentive to His voice and find out which side is the right side. To do this we have to slow down long enough to listen to the voice of Jesus.

God will never force His will upon us, we must be willing to “stop, drop and pray” all the time. We walk in our limited knowledge while He knows all things (including the side of the boat where there are many fish just waiting to be caught). Spending time with Him to find out the right side will not cost you time but save you time in the long run. It can also cause you to bear much fruit (and quickly!). So don’t be discouraged by the lack of fish in your boat and the fact that you have been fishing all night with no catch…listen to the Lord and He will tell you which side of the boat is the right side! Get your nets ready though because it will be a BIG CATCH!

Built Solid

Going through a storm?

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. – Matthew 7:24-25 NKJV

Some storms you can avoid and others you can’t but it doesn’t matter when you have built your house on the rock! Preparation for the storm is key. What you do before the wind picks up and begins to blow. Before the rain starts to beat down and the flood waters rise. Your foundation is most important. It will be the determining factor in whether or not your house will be standing when the storm is over. (Isn’t it a comforting thought to know that the storm will not last forever?!)

The only way that we can be sure that we make it out of the storm on the other side (without losing everything that we have) is by being wise and building on the right foundation. BE A DOER of the Word of God! Find out what the Word says on a daily basis and do it! Quick to obey what Jesus said to do assures us of making it through every storm. You can do it, don’t look at the past, start today and build on the rock. Do the Word and don’t worry about the storm,…it came to pass!

Daily Load

Wednesday, 02 December, 2009 09:01 Written by Pastor Bruce 0 Comments

We are loaded! DAILY!

Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah – Psalms 68:19 NKJV

Connect up with Heaven each morning to receive the daily download of blessings and benefits! God causes all favor and blessing to abound toward us. Therefore we should expect to experience the abundance that Jesus came to bring us (John 10:10).

If we have not been seeing the blessing of God in abundance like we should, we need to check up on ourselves because there is no problem with God. His switch of faith is always on 24/7/365! He is waiting for us to hook up with Him. This life that we are called to live is not a Sunday morning ritual…it is a day by day by day RELATIONSHIP!

Fellowship with your Father today and put yourself in a place to receive the abundant blessings and benefits that He has for you. He is waiting to fill you with wisdom from above that will change your life and circumstances. He has everything that you need. All we must do is need Him more than anything else! Surrender yourself to His plan, get in His presence and watch what will happen. He has more than you can imagine. Get ready for a boat load!

You Know

Tuesday, 11 August, 2009 08:01 Written by Pastor Bruce 1 Comment

Move from “I don’t know” to “I KNOW” by believing 1 John 2:20 But you have been anointed by [you hold a sacred appointment from, you have been given an unction from] the Holy One, and you all know [the Truth] or you know all things. [AMP]

We have been graced by God with His Holy Spirit that clues us in to all things. In James the Bible says that if any of us lacks wisdom, let them (us) ask God for it. (believing and not doubting) We will receive it and move from a “know not” to a “know so”.

In this hour we must depend on the God that created the Heavens and Earth to give us insight so that we can live in victory. You can know if you ask and depend on the Spirit of God living on the inside of you. Say, “I know!” instead of “I don’t”
