Are we ready to fight? Are we equipped to battle our way through to the promise land? We cannot wait, time is slipping away form us. Our enemy is prepared and he is on the attack. We are Gods occupying forces and He is our General. He has never lost a battle. Let us “put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:11-12 KJV We can only win with our armor fully secured. This is not a test, this is the real thing. There is not a second chance only carnage and destroyed lives. No you cannot sleep a little longer, wake up now. We are in a fight for our souls and the souls of our brothers and sisters. There are unsaved souls out there waiting to come in but there are only a few equipped soldiers of the cross ready to make the run to get them. Wake up, time is running out on us. We have to get on the field and rescue some more of the wounded. Our commander is counting on us. “Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Ephesians 6:14...

We serve a mighty God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He has many names to describe His many characteristics but He wants to be called Father by us. What is a father but our realization that He is looking for genuine sons and daughters. He is looking for individuals to talk to in a personal way with. Individuals to tell Him their joys and hopes, their dreams and failures, their hurts and disappointments. He is looking for real sons and daughters who will talk with Him one-on-one. Individuals who will walk with Him daily and share their day with Him. He is looking for a genuine friendship with His children. Look throughout the scriptures and you will see those individuals who stands out the most, they had a genuine friendship with God. David was a man who had a true heart for God and that is why He was considered a friend of God. Look at our Savior, He had a perfect friendship with His Father. He was for real with His Father. He let His Father know when He was weak. He was never afraid to be weak before His Father. He loved on His Father. God wants genuine friends that will talk to Him for real. Use your words and tell Him about yourself. He wants to hear from you. He yearns to hear our hearts true cry. Many of us haven’t spoken to our Father from our hearts for such a long time, He has only heard superficial talk from us, nothing from our hearts. He wants to hear from YOUR HEART today. He...

It is a lifestyle that requires an active participation on our part. It requires that we put the necessary work in to remain set apart for Christ. The Word has to be at work in us and that requires it to be a habitual part of our daily lives. We have to have an ongoing relationship with the Lord that challenges our flesh to yield. Christ has to start shining through us, people in the world and our brothers and sisters have to see change taking place. Life can never remain the same when we are truly spending time with the Lord. Our lives have to reflect that we have been with Him. He truly makes us holy like...

Sometimes we put so much emphasis on unimportant things. We specialize in the things that don’t really matter and pay little attention to the really important things. God and His Word is priority and He should always stay at the top of our list. God is never pleased when we neglect His word and do our own ordering. We need to study what God commands of us and dedicate our lives to making it a habit. We have an enemy that loves to turn our lives upside down, making us think that what is unimportant is really important. We need to seek direction from the Lord in all that we do so that we can get His list of priorities for our life. God has the best solution for our lives. We will never be out of balance when He is guiding our lives. He knows where everything needs to be. We will never have to feel overwhelmed when He takes the drivers seat in our lives. He loves us and He wants to direct our paths. His Word says “trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding and He will direct your path.” He is capable and well able to do what He says He will...

When is the last time we spent some quality time alone with the Lord? As much as it feels great spending time with our brothers and sisters in the presence of the Lord, He still wants to spend time with us individually. Look at Christ, He always went away alone to be with His Father. In marriage, if you don’t spend quality alone time with your spouse, it won’t work. We have to take time out of our busy schedules and invest some time with the Lord alone. There are things that He will speak into our spirits that we will never get in a crowd. He will take us places inside ourselves that we haven’t visited before or we’ve been hiding from. He will tear down strongholds and cultivate a stronger relationship with us. Some of us are afraid to be alone. We have to have the radio or TV on or we have to be on the phone or internet. We have to learn to be comfortable with ourselves and with God. What are we hiding from? We have to figure that out for ourselves. God desires us to love ourselves as He loves us. He will teach us how to love ourselves when we invest quality time with Him. God deserve prime time not leftover time. God is loving and kind and He only wants the best for us. Let us learn to give God some quality time to minister to our souls. He loves us more than we will ever...
