MOVING FORWARD AND NOT BACKWARD

By -

The past is exactly what it is, the past. Its funny how, when we are driving on the freeway and we observe an accident on the said of the road, how the traffic seems to slow down, while the accident is already off the roadway. We past the accident, and yet we still looking in our rear view mirror at the accident. Why you may ask?
We tent to want to focus on the past instead of what’s in from of us. You can’t look back and looking ahead at the same time. It must be one or the other, if you are looking back, it will hinder the decision to make a quality decision toward your future.
Just like the driver of the freeway, if his/her head is turn to the back or fix on the rear view mirror, there is a great chance of causing an accident, when all you had to do was leave the past behind and concentrate on what’s ahead.
The past is only there to remind us how to make things better in the future. How to avoid making the same mistakes again or how to duplicate and make better what was done before. In other words, take a glance at the past when you need too and keep moving forward.
If you had a bad experience, and its long gone and forgotten, trying to remember it will only surface rage and anger and frustration. The Apostle Paul tell us in Ephesians 4: 26-27,  “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,  and do not give the devil a foothold” Don’t ponder on the anger, let it past, because it will take up resident.


Too often I see too many people wasting so many times on things that’s gone and never to return. Frustrating them and fighting a battle that they can’t win. The energy and time should be spending on building the future. However, to overcome keep looking back in your rear view mirror, you must stay focus on your goals. Only then you will see the accidents and incidents begin to get smaller and smaller. And before you know it all attentions is focus on what’s ahead of you.

AN ARMOR BEARER PRAYER _____________________________________________________________ What is an armor bearer?

In the church, an armor bearer duties range widely, but generally speaking, a church armor-bearer carries the “armor” of a church leader, such as the leader’s Bible “the sword of the Spirit” A church armor-bearer essentially serves as a church leader’s bodyguard.

Your Calling: Finding that Passion again.

By -
To value the potential wrapped up in your calling, will take seeing your ministry as a spiritual counterpart to an old-time country doctor. This qualify country doctor does he duties of delivering babies, saw children through their growing up years, give them preventative shots, cures their fevers, listened to their dreams, help them through puberty and pimples, taught them the facts of life, attend their weddings, deliver their children and then started the cycle again for the new generation. However, he was often frustrated by his failures, underpaid by his patients, poorly equipped by technology and not especially viewed as an important professional by his peers in big city hospitals. But as he live his life, he had the incredible joy of knowing he save Tim’s life, brought Margie and her baby through difficult labor, sat up all night as Granny changed worlds and prescribe healing medicine to make Jack feel better in a few days. Your calling has a similar impact on caring out the ...

HOW TO LIVE A SPIRITUAL LIFE

Every human contains a triplex in its nature, the Body, the Soul and the Spirit. The body, or the outer part of a human is what been used to demonstrate the actions of what’s going on inside of the body. In other words, the body is the part of the human that cover the real source of what life is all about. In fact, everything in this world has a body, a vehicle has a body, a building has a body, writing or reading has a body, from music to even liquid has a body. So as we see it, not only humans but objects and things has a body also. But to be spiritual will take more than just the body; because the body has no connection that links towards God. Then there is the soul, not everything has a soul. The soul is placed above, and is independent of all infirmities of the body. For example, a sick person showing signs of weakness is due to the hindrances that interpose themselves between his soul and his body. Concerning the soul, after its separation from the body, will continue to pr...
