Are You Afraid To Fly?

Are You Afraid To Fly?
A few years ago one of my favorite television shows was the ATeam starring Mr.T.  Periodically, the team would have to board a plane and fly to various places to solve cases. Mr. T even though he was big, strong, and fierce  had a fear of one thing. The fear of flying! Whenever the team had to board a plane to fly they always had to give Mr. T a tranquilizer prior to boarding the plane to put his mind at ease. So what do you do when God has called you to soar at an altitude that is above where you are comfortable? How do you confront the fear and anxiety that comes along with what God has called you to do? If we are ever going to walk out our God-ordained purpose for our live we must become determined not to allow fear to hold us back. So how do you overcome the fear ? Well I am convinced that we must follow the same prescription Mr. T did when it was time for him to fly, he had to depend on the power of the tranquilizer to help him board that airplane. So  who and what do we turn to in those times when fear tries to grip us despite our best efforts to conqueror it.

1. Know Who We Are In Christ
2. We  Must Look To The Word of God for Assurance and Affirmation
3. Rely on The Holy Spirit To Guide Us
4. Know That God Is On Your Side

Mr. T had his tranquilizer to help him overcome his fear of flying. We have the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and the Word to give us the peace, strength, and help we need to overcome the fear and move forward.

Faith Under Fire

    I can remember like it was yesterday standing in front of the fireplace to warm my hand and legs on a cold winter day. My grandfather would always have the den warm and toasty for us when we came in from outside playing. Our family would sit in the den for hours and watch the fire and listen to it crackle. Sometimes the the fire would die down, but my paw paw had a remedy for that. Just outside the door he kept a wheelbarrow with some pine wood which he used to ignite the fire again. In a matter of seconds the fire would be backing burning fierce.      And sometimes our faith is just like my grandfather's fire, extremely hot and it slowly fizzles out. So what cause our faith to stall out during those critical times? Well many things! We can become discouraged when we don't see the manifestations of God's promise come to pass on our time watch. Doubt, unbelief, and worry will cause your faith to fade away. The lies of the enemy and others he uses to bring ne...

Hands Up!!!!

Hands Up! Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. (Psalms 63:4)      This morning as I was standing in the kitchen pouring my coffee and watching the rain fall from the sky I heard the voice of the Lord say unto me, “lift up your hands!” The lifting of the hands is a sign of surrender and reverence. If the police were to stop you their first response would be for you to get out of the car and lift your hands. The purpose of lifting your hands indicates to the police you are in agreement and will not try anything tricky. It also shows you are not hiding anything. This same principle applies in the spiritual realm as well.      So many times as believers and non-believers we try to be so strong when we are faced with various test and trails in life. It is during these times of storm that we truly begin to realize our natural strength often fails us. Proverbs 3;5-6 reminds us to trust in the Lord with al...

iGod Is Near and All You Need

iGod(My God) Is Near You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore .      Over the past few years the cellular phone industry has changed in a major way with the birth of the iPhone. Once the iPhone hit the market all other cellular phone companies had to go back to the drawing board and design a product which surpassed the iPhone introduced by Apple. Why was this phone so special? What capabilities did the iPhone posses that others did not offer? The main reason everyone switched from the current brand of cellular phone to iPhone was simple. One device was able to perform the task of many devices; it is so amazing how one thing has the power to alter the lives of so many. Our God, the iGod has the power to transform the lives of all who seek him.      There is something about iGod! There is an indescribable feeling that comes over me when I begin to focus my ent...
