Just Remember

"I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness— secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am Great Spirit, the Creator all things, and the one who calls you by name." -Is. 45:3 Memorial Day is day of remembrance. Some use it as a day to remember soldiers who fought in a war. But Memorial Day is more than that. It is a day to remember those who made a difference in your life. It is a day of gratitude . It is a day to remember those times you had with your grandparent, pets, or friends. It is a time to remember that special place in nature where you felt the most connected to the Creator. It is a time to be thankful for what your ancestors left you and their teachings they imparted to you. In the same way, Great Spirit has promised to remember you. He has promised to remember you and give you treasures in the darkness. He wants to remember you so that you will know everything came from Great Spirit. Here is the key, not only does Great Spirit remember you, Gr...

Pray for Their Reconciliation

-
Image
"The Great Lion said to them,“You have heard that it was said,  ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’   But I say to you,  Love your enemies and  pray for those who persecute you,   so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven." We all face enemies in this world. In most cases, the greatest enemy we will ever face is ourselves. Our negative thoughts will push us into making decisions that can give us a mess to clean up. Our own thoughts can determine how we respond to a situation or people. There are times when there are people who come against us, they will do anything to keep us down. There are other times where the enemy may not be us or another person. We are doing everything to our best, things are going great and a spiritual attack happens. Somehow, you just feel a dark presence is trying to keep you from your destiny. In some denominations, they would say to start rebuking and binding the devil. They may even say to hate th...

Your Prison is Your Mind

"Well at any rate, there's no humbug here. We haven't let anyone take us in. The Dwarfs are for the Dwarfs."  "You see," said Aslan,"they will not let us help them. they have chosen cunning instead of belief. their prison is only in their own minds, yet they are in that prison; and so afraid of being taken in that they cannot be taken out." You become what you think about, most of the time. If you think negative, self-defeating thoughts, you will move towards them. Those self-defeating thoughts can become strongholds in your life. They become barriers that keep us from going further up and further in. They can limit our potential. I am here to tell you today that you are free from any stronghold in your mind. Now that you know you are free, declare, "I have the mind of Aslan. As Aslan is, so AM I in this world." That means you have the peace, the confidence, the strength, to overcome any situation. You have the ability to change atmos...

When We Give Our Gift

-
Image
"Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full--pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back."  Gi ving is so much more than we could ever think. Giving is what makes all of creation the closest to the Great Spirit. The Great Spirit is a giver. What do you think about when you think of giving a gift? Most people will think of giving money to a cause, volunteering their time, or giving someone a gift for friendship, a birthday, Christmas. The Great Lion said that when we give a gift, it will return to us in full, but more compact, to make room for more to come back to you. Again, most people here this and they think of the tithe in church. Your gift is not just the tangible, but it is the talent that you have been given. There is an old saying that your gift will make room for you before kings and important people. Your gift or gifts are th...

For All of Creation

"The Great Lion said, ' Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.'" Sometimes when we get revelations from the Great Spirit, there are not words enough to describe how you are feeling. It just resonates so deeply within you, you know it i s the Great Spirit. When Aslan created Narnia and this world he gave us all the gift of connection. We also had the gift of speech and communication. When this world needed to be redeemed the Great Lion came to show us the good news of his kingdom. He did not just intend it for people, but for all of creation. He wanted all of creation to proclaim what he has taught them about the good news of Great Spirit's kingdom. Today I encourage you to let your pets, your garden, the birds, the mountains, the sky, the sun, the moon proclaim to you what they know about the good news of the Great Spirit. In the same way, speak to all of creation, pray with your pets, the birds, the rocks and trees. Preach to them. Lik...

Back in the Zone

"The truth is," said Scrubb, "we were so jolly keen on getting to this place that we weren't bothering about anything else. At least I know I was. Ever since we met the woman with the knight who didn't talk, we've been thinking of nothing else. We'd nearly forgot about Prince Rilian." (Silver Chair) We all have times when we are pursuing a goal or dream so passionately that sometimes we get tired and distracted. We get off track, we let up, or focus on something else.  Maybe today you have been trying to beat that addiction, you're focused, you're intense on beating it.  Sometimes though that goal is taking a long time, you are tired. You have put in a lot of energy. It just seems like you need a rest.  This is a great time. You are in the middle of your battle. The birthing pangs are getting stronger. When the intensity starts to get higher, you can know that you are close to your victory. But here is the key, like Eustace, even if yo...
