Happy New Year my dear friends!

It's another year.
This time I know and I feel, inspite of all the world crisis
and setbacks, it's gona be an awesome year!

I bet people from all walks of life are starting to do
out their New Year's Resolution List.

Well, I can say I can relate to that.
Just before the new year comes, I used to start writing
down the things that I want to change in me.
To be more specific, I refer on my behavior.

Yes. It's innate in me that I wanted to be always good.
I wanted people to admire me because "I'm nice" I'm good"..
I'm like this and I'm like that.

So New Year's Resolution list has always been my thing.

Now, for so many years have passed of doing it...
have I changed on my self-effort?

Of course,
I did not.

Circumstances beyond my control had made me vulnerable
and left me at times out of control.
The more I pressured myself to never do this 'bad' thing again,
the more I ended up feeling so much like a loser.


Unfortunately, there even came a time that I became worst.
And out of frustrations..I hated myself.

Year after year after year.
I was always on my own with my atruggles.
if I couldn't fix it, I'd feel bad for not doing good enough.

Now, that Jesus is in me.

No more frets.

Deep inside, it's amazing how He changes me without holding
unto my own self-confessed strength and pride.

Jesus is right,

"I am the way the truth and the life" . Many struggle to know the way to live, Jesus says 'the way to live is in me'. We look for the ultimate truth, 'it's me' he says. We look for a life worth living with meaning and purpose, again 'it's me'. (John 14 v 6)

Isn't that a great message to live by???

Let that message sink in to you my friends.

If you're not happy with your life right now..read the message again.

Let us stop being so religious about Jesus.

Jesus Himself hates religion.
He wants relationship from us.
If we make Him our soul's partner, we can only gain from this
mad, fallen world.
We gain great health, peace and life will make it soooo much more
worthe living inspite of all your current situation.

Stop struggling with life and start having fun!

With Jesus, you don't need to sturggle because His yoke is easy.

You can only rest...full time!

Happy New Year and let the good tidings of the coming year begin!

Your Problem Must Bow To Jesus’ Name

"names" in this world give us sensations within that which we cannot explain.

If you hear the words

Power
Money
Sex
Heartaches
Lies
Names of your ex
Stress
Problems
Marriage
Love

and the list goes on.

It gives you a certain feeling and thoughts
on a different level and perspective, right?


Now , I know a name that is above all names!

It's


JESUS!!!

Yes!

There's power in the name of Jesus.
Everytime I feel heartaches, pains and confusions within
and don't know just how to pray or say ...

I just utter ....


J E S U S....


and then the next moment I feel better.

If all the things in this world is affecting you.
May it be your health, your finances, your marriage , lovelife,
school problems, your crush rejecting you...

You don't really have to put all those things above you

for Jesus is above all those things.

You might can't understand it for now. But I recommend
you just keep saying it..

J E S U S...and all your pains will flee supernaturally.

Sharing another great sunday message from Pastor Joseph Prince.

Enjoy your Sunday friends.

And Happy New Year!!!




Philippians 2:10
10… at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,

Whatever is troubling you, if it has a name, it must bow to the name of Jesus! Cancer must bow to the name of Jesus. Poverty must bow. Shame must bow. The Bible tells us that God has highly exalted Jesus and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee must bow!

That is exactly what happened when a severely demon-possessed man saw Jesus. The demons in him — called Legion for there were many of them — not only begged Jesus not to torment them, but they also fled when Jesus commanded them to go. The man was left whole, healed and in his right mind. (Luke 8:26–35)

My late father was similarly delivered from his drinking addiction of many years. I remember how he was in a drunken stupor one day. I prayed over him in Jesus’ name for him to be loosed from his addiction to alcohol. He threw up violently soon after that and from that moment on, he never touched the bottle again!

Beloved, if your child is sick, lay hands on him and say, “In Jesus’ name, cough, stop. Fever, go in Jesus’ name. Health flows in your body in Jesus’ name!” If there is strife and confusion at home, deal with it the same way. I have used the name of Jesus as I prayed for a couple who were quarrelling in a food center. It was amazing. All the strife between them seemed to melt away and they started to talk calmly after that.

That is the power of the name of Jesus because that is the name of the one who died for you, who rose again and today is at the right hand of God, for you! That is the name which is above every name, and at which every knee must and will bow!

Don’t Sweat It, Rest!

I used to do things on my own thinking that I was so smart
to deal with it.

I read a lot of how-to books.
How to heal yourself.
How to gain financial success.
How to win friends and influence people.
How to be a millionare.

Name it. lolx!

After finishing a book. I'd get inspired.
For days..and even weeks.

After that, I'm back to my old self again.
Asking another different set of questions this time,
on a different level.

I felt I was just going around
in circles with nothing much changes in my life.

I felt I was so lost and the activities of the world
had stopped inspiring me like I just wanted to end my life
just like that.

The thought of believing God somehow, had helped me to keep on going on.

I felt in my heart, there must be some reasons why I exist.

To find real answers.and discover the TRUTH.

With all the troubles , problems, setbacks that I was having,
that little spark of hope and "FAITH" in me has lead me to
find God.

Because I wanted more out of this life.
I want to live a victorious life!

I wanted a life that has no problems...and no stress.

Now , with Jesus, I found out that there will always be problems
and stress wherever you go. Even on your bed at night, you'd feel it
and then nightmares come to catch you.

Yes!

There will be problems in this world.
But with Jesus.. you will have a way in how to deal with it.

You can still have problems...but no stress.

Your world maybe shaking but in you there's peace.

Thats the power of staying with Jesus.
You won't get lost because you're with the Light.

For now, I cant say that I am in a perfect situation.
Troubles in my life come again and again.

But what do I do?

My secret.

I just give it all to Jesus..

Now I can always have fun.. No worries..Just pure fun!

Is that what God wants us to do? Be like a child and stay with Him
as our refuge.

Jesus came to give us LIFE!

In many years of my life. I haven't experience this so much peace within.

It's amazing.
Now I don't need to read how-to books anymore.
no, I'm not saying that reading books is bad.
You can do it for gaining knowledge or for some personal pleasure
but to gain God's wisdom.. seek Him.
And everything will have meaning.

I just rest in Him..and I'm secure!



Sharing another powerful message from Pastor Prince.
Enjoy everyone and Happy Christmas!!


Ruth 3:18
18Then she said, “Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out; for the man will not rest until he has concluded the matter this day.”

God does not want you to “sweat”. Sweat here does not refer to your body’s perspiration, but your self-reliance or self-effort. God does not want you to believe that if you don’t do anything, nothing will happen. That may be true for someone without God in his life, but it is not true for you because you have God. And when He is in the picture, the God-factor changes everything!

When you are resting in God, He works for you. In fact, when He works, you end up with more. He is the one who is giving to you. It is not about you trying to give to yourself.

This was what happened to Ruth in the Old Testament. After laboring in the barley fields from morning to evening, she was able to glean one ephah of barley (Ruth 2:17), which was equivalent to a 10-day supply of barley. Certainly, this amount was a blessing to her.

But when she rested at the feet of Boaz, her kinsman-redeemer, and did not labor, she received six ephahs of barley (Ruth 3:15), which was equivalent to a 60-day supply! When Ruth sought her own blessing, she obtained only one ephah. But when she sought the blesser, she received much more.

Ruth’s blessings did not stop there. While Ruth rested and sat still as her mother-in-law Naomi had instructed, Boaz, who was the owner of the barley field, went to work, initiating actions, executing them and speaking on Ruth’s behalf. Right through it all, Ruth sat still and rested. Eventually, Boaz, the barley man himself, married Ruth. (Ruth 4) That meant no more measured wealth of six ephahs, but the yield of the whole barley field in total!

Boaz is a picture of Jesus, our heavenly kinsman-redeemer. When we rest in the Lord, He will not rest. He will work on our behalf. What do we do then? We just trust in and enjoy His love for us.

Beloved, stop striving and be at rest. If salvation, the greatest work, comes to us by resting in Jesus’ finished work, how much more will all the other blessings?

Thank you, Jesus!

Hi my dear friends.
I'm back with no more sore throat!
Last night I caught a bit of a cold but now it's gone.
I had a very peaceful sleep.

Just awesome!

"One thousand and one shall fall on my side,
ten thousand shall fall on my right hand
BUT those diseases shall not come near me!"

God's healing words are sooooo true!

Now let me thank Him for that.

Thank you Jesus for by your stripes I am healed!!!

Halleluyah!!!

Let me share with you some thoughts from Pastor Prince.
Feed into God's Words daily and you will have LIFE!

" Feed On God’s Word Daily


Matthew 4:4
4But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”

The Bible tells us that God breathed into man and he became a living being. (Genesis 2:7) It also tells us that all Scripture is God-breathed. (2 Timothy 3:16, NIV) This means that when you read the Bible or listen to God’s Word preached, you are imbibing the very breath of God which gives you life.

That is why there may have been times you walked into church feeling tired at first, but left at the end of the service feeling refreshed and energized. God’s Word had breathed life into your body! I have also seen many of our church members becoming healthier, stronger and even younger-looking because they spend time in God’s Word.

It is no wonder that Proverbs 4:22 tells us that God’s words are “life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh”. So if you are under the weather or if symptoms are attacking your body, double up on God’s medicine. Simply feed more on God’s Word, and you will find life and health flowing through your body again.

Jesus said that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. If it is important to eat our meals every day, how much more feeding on God’s Word? Jesus wants us to know that we need God’s Word even more than our daily meals. He made us, so He knows best what our bodies need daily.

So whatever you do, remember to get your daily feeding of God’s Word. Read your Bible in the comfort of your home or in the office during your lunch break. Play sermon CDs while driving to work or doing household chores. If you prefer something more visual, watch DVDs on the preaching of His Word. Choose whichever form you prefer and get His Word into you!

Beloved, you cannot live when you stop breathing. In the same way, you cannot live without the Word because it is the very breath of God which gives you life and health!"

How I deal with a Sore Throat

I woke up this morning with an itchy sore throat.

I feel sick.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE SICK.

I hate being sick becuase it's sickening when you get sick.

Now, I am glad I just know what to do.

And no, it's not taking that pill. or going to the doctor asap.

It's proclaiming the words of God in PSALM 91.

"Psalm 91

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [a]

2 I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."

3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.

8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-

10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;

12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

Yes!

I say to this sore throat and all the other diseases..


7 A thousand may fall at my side,

(a thousand sickness and diseases)
ten thousand at my right hand,
but it will not come near me!!!

By Jesus stripes, I am healed!!!

Non-believers might say I am stupid in believing this way.

I say, I'd rather be stupid and get healed and protected by God
than be smart running around the world to get healing and protection
without that assurance that I'd get it at all.

God's Words are final! and True!

For two years of being a Christian,
I have felt its power.

I know God has been protecting me.

I am not telling this to you because I believe it

or

I have testimonies on it.

I am saying it because the Bible says so!

Red Sea Crossing

I have received this powerpoint from my dear friend, let's call her "amag" hehe!

Ok. These TRUTHS excite me and getting to know what's happening in the Bible makes me more curious in learning the events way back 2000 years ago.

Fiction or Truth. I don't care.
As long as it's about God and Jesus...is perfect enough.

Yes.

I have come to know some "Worldy Truths"
but they only gave me nothing but stress and a lot of heartaches.


Past is past.

Now.

With God's truth...nothing is detrimental to one's health
for this is not religion anymore.

And if you just open your eyes and would come to know it..

it will finally set you free!














I googled on this Jacob's Well and it just sent shivers down my spine.

God answers our prayers

A very very very nice story… :)
As doubtful we are…
As mistrustful as we all are in God's ability to hear our prayers…
Please do take time to read…

This beautiful story was written by a doctor who worked in Africa .

One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but in spite of all we could do, she died, leaving us with a tiny, premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator). We also had no special feeding facilities. Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool that the baby would be wrapped in. Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst (rubber perishes easily in tropical climates).

'And it is our last hot water bottle!' she exclaimed. As in the West, it is no good crying over spilled milk, so in Central Africa it might be considered no good crying over burst water bottles. They do not grow on trees, and there are no drugstores down forest pathways.

'All right,' I said, 'put the baby as near the fire as you safely can, and sleep between the baby and the door to keep it free from drafts. Your job is to keep the baby warm.'

The following noon, as I did most days, I went to have prayers with any of the orphanage children who chose to gather with me. I gave the youngsters various suggestions of things to pray about and told them about the tiny baby. I explained our problem about keeping the baby warm enough, mentioning the hot water bottle, and that the baby could so easily die if it got chills. I also told them of the two-year-old sister, crying because her mother had died.

During prayer time, one ten -year-old girl, Ruth, prayed with the usual blunt conciseness of our African children. 'Please, God' she prayed, 'Send us a hot water bottle today. It'll be no good tomorrow, God, as the baby will be dead, so please send it this afternoon.'

While I gasped inwardly at the audacity of the prayer, she added, 'And while You are about it, would You please send a dolly for the little girl so she'll know You really love her?'

As often with children's prayers, I was put on the spot. Could I honestly say 'Amen'? I just did not believe that God could do this. Oh, yes, I know that He can do everything; the Bible says so. But there are limits, aren't there? The only way God could answer this particular prayer would be by sending me a parcel from the homeland. I had been in Africa for almost four years at that time, and I had never, ever, received a parcel from home.

Anyway, if anyone did send me a parcel, who would put in a hot water bottle? I lived on the equator!
Halfway through the afternoon, while I was teaching in the nurses' training school, a message was sent that there was a car at my front door. By the time I reached home, the car had gone, but there on the verandah was a large 22-pound parcel. I felt tears pricking my eyes. I could not open the parcel alone, so I sent for the orphanage children. Together we pulled off the string, carefully undoing each knot. We folded the paper, taking care not to tear it unduly. Excitement was mounting. Some thirty or forty pairs of eyes were focused on the large cardboard box..

From the top, I lifted out brightly-colored, knitted jerseys. Eyes sparkled as I gave them out. Then there were the knitted bandages for the leprosy patients, and the children looked a little bored. Then came a box of mixed raisins and sultanas - that would make a batch of buns for the weekend. Then, as I put my hand in again, I felt the.....could it really be? I grasped it and pulled it out. Yes, a brand new, rubber hot water bottle. I cried.

I had not asked God to send it; I had not truly believed that He could. Ruth was in the front row of the children. She rushed forward, crying out, 'If God has sent the bottle, He must have sent the dolly, too!'

Rummaging down to the bottom of the box, she pulled out the small, beautifully- dressed dolly. Her eyes shone! She had never doubted! Looking up at me, she asked: 'Can I go over with you and give this dolly to that little girl, so she'll know that Jesus really loves her?' Of course, I replied!

That parcel had been on the way for five whole months, packed up by my former Sunday school class, whose leader had heard and obeyed God's prompting to send a hot water bottle, even to the equator. And one of the girls had put in a dolly for an African child - five months before, in answer to the believing prayer of a ten-year-old to bring it 'that afternoon.'

'Before they call, I will answer.' (Isaiah 65:24)
When you receive this, please pray the prayer below. That's all you have to do. No strings attached. Just send it on to whomever you want - but please do send it on.

Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. There is no cost, but a lot of rewards. Let's continue praying for one another.

This awesome prayer takes less than a minute.
'Heavenly Father, I ask You to bless my friends reading this. I ask You to minister to their spirit. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubting, release a renewed confidence to work through them. Where there is tiredness or exhaustion, I ask You to give them understanding, guidance, and strength. Where there is fear, reveal Your love and release to them Your courage. Bless their finances, give them greater vision, and raise up leaders and friends to support and encourage them. Give each of them discernment to recognize the evil forces around them and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it. I ask You to do these things in Jesus' name. Amen'

P.S. Passing this on to anyone you consider a friend will bless you both. Passing this on to one not considered a friend is something Christ would do.

Ron Wyatt talking about JESUS blood sample

Found this video on youtube and has given me chills.
Ron Wyatt, a self-described archaeologist has discovered
Jesus blood and took it for a lab test in Israel.
We, humans have 46 chromosomes. 23 chromosomes we get from
our mother and 23 from our father..
But the blood test, showed only 23 chromosomes from Jesus' blood
which means He only has His mother DNA.

I googled about this and interestingly, I found this.

"Certainly God could have caused Mary to contribute all 46 chromosomes, but when God mainfested Himself in flesh as Jesus Christ, considering that He created mankind, He also most certainly could have "created" an ideal 23 chromosomes to match up with Mary's. The latter is far more preferred in my opinion.

It takes 23 chromosomes from two people to "conceive", hence it seems more probable that God Himself supplied 23 chromosomes, specifically that His Word (the Logos) became the 23 chromosomes required to cause a conception, to match up with Mary's 23 chromosomes, which properly establishes her as His mother.

This gives interesting light and explanation to the words "only begotten", which in the Greek is the word "monogenes". "Mono" means "unique" or "only", and "genes" means "origin" or "becoming". It is also the root of our modern words gene and genetics. If we accept the idea that God knew how language would develop, and understands the science, then it does no disservice to consider that monogenes may be understood as signifying "unique genes." Jesus Christ is unique. He alone originated by the combination of the 23 chromosomes of a human seed with 23 chromosomes which was the Logos become flesh."



Watch the video.

Jesus is alive!!!

I love these Christian cartoons!

The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD,

But He loves one who pursues righteousness.

These are nice, I have never seen Christian Cartoons before, enjoy!

Heat intolerance
Nervousness
Breathlessness
Increased bowel movements

I would've felt the same way too...

Yeah.

I would have been that old person in me who panics
everytime I'm sick.

But


not anymore.

You know why?

Because I have come to know the truth.

That Jesus is my healer.

So now,

I say...

Thank you Jesus.. for if not because of your works in
the calvary..and without those stripes that you bore
in your body for me... for my healing.

These symptoms in me are just temporary.
For I believe that by your STRIPES I was healed!!

Thank you Jesus!

I will be praising You forever!

LIGHT vs DARKNESS

I have always thought "DARKNESS" in the Bible just means
committing murder, terrorism or diseases.

And..

I have always thought that when you become a Christian.
Everything will flea.
No more sadness, afflictions , pains , heartachess, etc..
and God will give u a perfect world instantly.

Well, I have thought wrongly.

I have found out.

"DARKNESS" is ..

when you are depressed...
struggling with your afflictions,
heartaches from a broken relationships,
sadness,
boredom,
financial turmoil
and career stress.


In this world,

those things will come and attack you every now and then..
Before you know it, you are trap in it.

As a Christian, you would ask God, "Lord, I have done this and that.
why this is happening to me??"

Somewhere along the way you end up struggling with your faith ..

It's self-sabotaging, right?

Some people would seek advices from friends, read books
and watch a movie just to getaway.

But...

at the end of the day.

It all comes back to them...again and again and again..

(Yeah, I know it because I was there.)


When these things happening..
it is not really a question of "what to do" or "where to go"?

it's a question of

WHOM to go to...

Who?




It's Jesus..

As I'm typing this right now,

I just had a fight with my ex.

For months I have been struggling with my frustrations over and over again.

Thinking and being torn between having these options of
getting it over real soon
or have the love come back again.

I am so filled with pain and heartaches.
I just wana runaway from it all.
There are times that I feel it's already part of me. ...

or has become me...

It isn't easy at all.

Deep within, gloom is in my heart..
It just keeps haunting me.

Yes.

I am in darkness..

My ground is shaking right now.

I feel my world is falling apart.
It's sickening with all these pains.

really

I feel like a loser !!





But guess what..

I am thankful..


You know why?


Because Jesus is in me.

No matter how sad, frustrated , depressed that I become,
His power absorbs it all and resides in me.

Knowing the truth that these are just temporary
gives me Peace and sets me free.


Everytime I feel bad about myself and all the things
that are happening to me, there's this force within me
or something which I cannot explain that lifts my spirit up.

It's cool and all I wana do is just see those negative feelings
flea away from me.

The next moment, I'm back on my feet again ...

to have fun!


I refer to my pains, sadness, afflictions as my "DARKNESS".

But Jesus is my LIGHT

When one is in total darkness and sees just a bit
of spark of light around.. there's hope.

Jesus wraps me around in His love with hope.
I may not know how it happens but just keep that way.

Yes!

My world maybe shaking right now but I don't fret.

With Jesus...
I know someday I am going to stand above it all
and live a victorious life praising Him.

It's just amazing when you know the truth..

Thank you Jesus for making things new for me!

Thank you Jesus for You are my refuge!
Not alcohol, drugs, or anything...

It's You!

Thank you ...Thank you... Thank you...J E S U S!!!

Christ Is The Treasure In You

I was always concern of this bad habit in me that only lead me
to depression, frustrations,bitterness and more pains.

I kept saying a hundred times or more, "I will never do it again!"
Yes, there were times...I was in control and thought I had overcome it.

Most of the time. I fail.

Yes.

Human efforts are inconsistent.
One week , we are better.
The next thing, we are at our worst.

My heart is stubborn ..I am stubborn!

How to do deal with it?

Just give it to God..

I am now sharing another powerful message from Pastor Prince.

God doesn't want behavior modifications..
He wants inner transformation!


"Christ Is The Treasure In You


2 Corinthians 4:7
7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

The verse tells us that we have “this treasure” in earthen vessels. Who is the treasure? Christ! Who are the earthen vessels here? You and I! Thank God the treasure is in the earthen vessels.

My friend, Christ the treasure is in you. So don’t get frustrated when you see your “earthiness”. You will always be “earthen” as long as you are in your mortal body, but remember that Christ the treasure is in you.

Should you lose your cool with your spouse or children, remember that Christ in you is your patience. When I feel impatient, I don’t pray, “Lord Jesus, give me patience... now!” No, I look to Jesus and I say, “Lord Jesus, I thank You that You are my patience.”

In my younger days and even when I first got married, I had a bad temper. I tried all sorts of anger management techniques, but I never got very far until I told God, “God, I am so frustrated trying to overcome my anger. I give up! I cannot. You can. I rest and depend on You.” Not too long after that, my wife commented, “You know, you have improved in the area of your temper.”

I thought about what she had said and realized that I was not even conscious of the change in me. When family members can see the patience of Christ manifesting through a naturally impatient person, God gets the glory.

Perhaps you are frustrated with your smoking and drinking habits. Or maybe you are discouraged by your feelings of jealousy, distrust, bitterness, depression and defeat. Don’t condemn yourself for being earthen. Don’t try to “cast out” your earthiness. Just realize that you have Christ the treasure in you.

The more you see that treasure in you, the more Christ’s brilliance shines forth in you. And in the midst of your earthiness, God gets the glory as you yourself are transformed from glory to glory! (2 Corinthians 3:18)"

Wait! Don't try to help God!

I always listen to this message everytime my faith is tested.
Somewhere along the way, I have always found out that I never trusted God
to do His works and perform miracles in me.

I felt that God is keeping His time from me , always busy to help anyone
who is also in trouble.
At the end of the day, my effort is wasted and I end up soo frustrated and depressed
asking myself or God what happened. I even end up hating him. Lolx.

Do you always trust God in all your undertakngs or do you
always end up helping and doing it all for yourself thinking
that GOd will never help us or He is too slow to respond?

Just before I became a Christian, I always thought God is a magician.
When I want something in my life badly change, I expect HIm to do it
right before my eyes or have some instant results.

Funny thing is God is not a magician. If He is , He can just zap any one of
us who believe and make a perfect human beings or a perfect world out of us.

What a boring life that would be, right?

God wants us to have faith.

If there's any trial that's coming our way, He wants us to overcome it with faith
and live a victorious life with Him.

He wants us to have strong hope in HIm...whatever we are doing and whatever state
we are in.


Yes.


The power of HOPE is what makes your Faith works.

Enjoy the sermon peepz!

Wait! Dont Try To Help God!

Warning: Don't do this without that FAITH!

Ok my hypothyroidism is active again.
It'e obvioues on my neck and some manifestations like
my heart beats so fast. I get tired easily.
I sweat a lot and get hungry all the time.

My dear friends are worried about me.
They adviced me to go to doctor asap before it
gets worst.

Yes, they are so sweet:) I thank God for them.

But.......

I don't know.

I'm not scared or anything like I used to.


I am just so peaceful about it and rely on Jesus..

Each fear is being swallowed up by my FAITH in Him, Jesus..who is my healer.

Yes! Jesus is my Healer!! He is my doctor!



You know why?

In Him, I don't need to take meds.. (which I hate the most)

No injections, bloodtests, urine tests, lab tests etc
which keeping so much of our time.

It's just coooool, right?!


What do I need?


It's

just


my


FAITH.....


yes, My faith can heal me.


Unbelievers, even Christians would say ,
"You are crazy to believe that way.
Yes, God can heal you but you must do
what you need to do..
You must go to the doctor asap! "


I say,
"Yes, I just need to do what I need to do...
and that's.
...trust in Him for my healing.:)
Let me be crazy in believing this way.
For I know my God is my refuge, and He wants me well!"


Some would say, "If your God wants you well, then why are you sick
right now??"

I would say, " Stand back...for my healing is on the way!"


keep updated...(to be continued)

Menstrual Problems Attack!

I used to suffer migraines and stomach pains each time
my menstrual cycle comes.

Just before I got saved and have come to known Jesus' as a Healer,
I always thought menstrual cycle problems are part of one's life
and destiny. lolx!

Deep inside each time I felt the pain, I kept asking myself,
is this really part of being a woman? Why is this so?
Is this a curse???
Last time, if I have mine, I could no longer go to work.
I just stayed home the whole day feeling all the pains with tantrums,
bad moods,mood swings.
Meaning, there was no life inside of me.
Then I started to think life sucks if every month
I was going to feel that way.

I googled hoping to find answers.

Some results just gave me a lot of "something-to-dos" but
none of them have really given me a solution.
A long and lasting solution...
I know wordly advice will give you, take painkillers, go to doctor,
have a rest, sleep well, "don't worry-it's part of getting old" ,
drink a lot of water, take yoga,etc.

Deep inside, I knew I didn't get enough of those advices.
I wanted more answers different from the norm.
Something that is permanent and cannot be shaken.

At the back of my mind, someone's telling me,
"Menstrual problems are not part of you...seek for more answers."

Getting tired of it all...
I turned to Jesus a year ago.

The results?

Well, I didn't get an instant healing.
Right now, as I'm typing this,
I have my menstrual cycle.

And why am I blogging this?


It's because...

I can tell, that slowly, He is healing me.
I have not suffered migraines and stomach pains for a year now.
Although
I can still feel some pains on some parts of my body
...like on my back..legs..and shoulder.
But none of those pain can stop me from going to work right now,
or having some fun later tonight.

And no, I don't take painkillers !

:)

Deep inside.. I know He is really healing me.
And for now.. each time I feel some pains here and there.

I boldy confess,

"BY JESUS STRIPES, I AM HEALED!"

Let me say it again..


"BY JESUS STRIPES, I AM HEALED!"

and again..


"BY JESUS STRIPES, I AM HEALED!"


and again..


"BY JESUS STRIPES, I AM HEALED!"


Isaiah 53:5

"But He was wounded for our transgressions.
He was bruised for our iniquites.
The chastisement of our peace was upon Him.
AND BY HIS STRIPES, WE ARE HEALED!"

Yes, it's on the Bible.
And that's something to back it out.


As you know, I'd rather believe in the Bible,the words of GOD.
than the words of men.

The words of men can tell you, You have cancer, expect to die..
You have this disease and that...prepare the money for your medications.
There's no medicine that can heal you. Better have dialysis..
go to US for high quality medications,etc.

Well, I can say, It's really up to you.

You can believe the words of the world.
Or believe in the word of GOD.
REad this again..

Isaiah 53:5

"But He was wounded for our transgressions.
He was bruised for our iniquites.
The chastisement of our peace was upon Him.
AND BY HIS STRIPES, WE ARE HEALED!"

I don't know.

I really feel so much power in these words.
Why would the Bible say it?
God must have known that in this world, we are meant to be sick.
But in God's world...although you are sick, you can be healed!!!

Thank you Jesus.
For healing me!

If you are a non-believer and is sufferring from any disease.
Just say this.

"Jesus, I don't know who You are or what you can do to my health or disease.
But please, I pray, come to me and heal me.
I know you have longed for me to come back to you.
Here I am, please take me.. and be in control.

The world can give me so much confusions and frustrations.
But You are my peace..and my healer.
Pls. stay with me...
I pray, In Jesus name...
Amen!


Just say it..
Your faith can heal you..

Sin Cannot Stop God’s Grace!

People thought God is like our parents..
We do good. we get good. Good stuffs, praises and rewards etc.
We do bad, we get beat. We must be punished..grounded..no allowance for the week
...no clubbings..

Well, I used to think of God that way too.
Just before I became a Christian, I used to think God
will punish me everytime I commit a single mistake.
No matter how big or small it is. I feared He's always at my
back , trying to catch me.

That's why for years, I kept my distance from His presence.
Some wrong teachings had led me to fear Him.
Instead of calling on Him in times of trouble, I blamed Him
for everything. Lolx! I oould just laugh at myself few years back.

Today!

I am just so glad Pastor Prince has changed the way I think
of God.
Right now, even in my saddest part of my life, it's Him I think of.
God is not behind my troubles and heartaches..He is there to lift me up.

God didn't promise a perfect world, but He sent His Son
Jesus, so we can have a perfect and victorious life in this
mad, fallen world.

What a revelation, right?

I'm sharing another powerful daily devotional message from Pastor Prince.
Enjoy and have a great day ahead!


----
"Sin Cannot Stop God’s Grace!"


Romans 5:20
20Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,

When a top executive is charged for corruption or a church minister is caught in the very act of adultery, you will probably hear the phrase “fallen from grace” being used of them. We have come to believe that when someone falls into sin, he falls from grace.

But God wants us to know that when someone falls into sin, he does not fall from grace — he actually falls into grace! Thank God His grace is there to put the person back on his feet.

The Bible tells of prostitutes and corrupt tax collectors — sinners — who fell into God’s grace and got back on their feet. If the sin in their lives could stop God’s grace, they would never have been able to receive His grace of healing, help and power to live right.

Now, it is important you understand that God hates sin because it destroys our lives, relationships and bodies. Sin is evil! But sin is not overcome by us talking about it and relying on our willpower to overcome it. It takes God’s grace to destroy sin. In fact, it is when you are under His grace that sin has no dominion over you. (Romans 6:14) It is when you see His grace in providing His Son to put away your sins and make you eternally righteous that sin will not dominate you.

The devil will say to you, “You think that you can still expect God’s blessings after what you did this morning?” That is when you must remind yourself that Christ alone is your perfection and righteousness. All of us have faults. None of us deserve God’s blessings. That is why we plead the grace of God, which is His unearned, unmerited and undeserved favor toward us.

Sin does not and cannot stop God’s grace. If His grace can be cut off by sin, Jesus would never have come to save us because we were all terrible sinners. But praise God, “where sin abounded, grace abounded much more”!

My friend, God’s grace is bigger, deeper, wider and more powerful than all the world’s sins put together. Receive His grace right now to walk in total victory over that weakness or evil habit in your life!

How to heal a broken heart?

This question has been used a lot of times of course,
from people like me, who has a broken heart.

Some people, cry a lot...
isolate themselves from all their friends and anyone
just to feel that loneliness in them.
Be depress even more..

I don't know.

Humans just love to feel the pain and be at it
for a very long time.

Some will even listen to sad,love songs with tears
flowing down their cheeks...sobs..sobs..

Me?
Yes, I am broken hearted.
I am devastated.
I just cried alot of tears.
I'm lonely.

It's not easy to lose someone. Especially when you're
with that person for eight years.


For months, I tried to be insane..suffer heartaches
every now and then..

Yes.

It's sad.

And now I am praying.

"Lord, I know I have a stubborn heart.
Pains are not enough a dose to make me come up
with the right decision.

But pls. I pray..everytime I suffer these pains
and heartaches...
Please, please,please make me more healthy and
prosper me instead.

When I'm feeling so lost and confused,
Clear out my mind and heart..

At this moment, I gotta be smarter.
When I am feeling so sad, frustrated and unloved.
Make me well, Lord.
When I'm feeling so abused and devastated.
Prosper me, Lord.

That's all I got to know.
And that's all I got to ask.

In Jesus name. Amen!

Even in disbelief I still end up praising Him

October 30, 2008
9.57 am

"Even in disbelief I still end up praising Him"

When
at this moment, I am asking myself
'what if God doesn't exist?
'what if I'm believing wrongly?'
What if these are just fiction that the world is trying to adopt for us to have a better world to live in?'

So many 'what ifs'

But you know what I ended up doing?

Got hold of some praise and worship songs and listened to
Hillsong instead.

Yes.
Even in disbelief I still end up praising and wanting Him more.

This is not me.

Must be the spirit in me.

Thank you Jesus for keeping me.
You are the Light that shines in me.

Let me share some comments I got from my facebook friend Sharon
when I posted the title on this blog as my stats.

"Reminds me of the story of John the Baptist.. the one who came before Christ.. who wittnessed to his coming and spoke about Him in ways that could only have been completely of the Holy Spirit.. He too in prison wondered.. hearing of what the Messiah was doing.. sent his disciples to ask JESUS "Are you the one who is to come"..
John saw Jesus and ... Read Morespoke with heavenly authority.... yet in hard times.. he too asked..
It is so easy to wonder isn't it not seeing with our eyes.. and also hearing and wittnessing all that is going on in our earth right now.. but yet the LORD beckons us to believe and stand firm to what He has said.. and promised that as believers there would be signs following.. So we too must see and strenghthen our hearts in these times..
In response, Jesus did not preach a sermon about belief, pray for them, give them an electronic sermon, or hand them a book. Jesus simply performed many miracles!!

And He answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM. (NASB) Luke 7:22

Sorry about the long response.. it just came to my heart as you said that.. and also it ... Read Moreencourages me too as I looked at the scriptures.. I am praying so much for miracles because I have loved ones around me who do not yet believe.. It is hard not to get down about it and also wonder how to show them.. but I truly see that if I just believe I too can do what Jesus did.. THAT is exciting.. and another scripture comes to mind.. LOL but I can be long winded LOL.. best finish up here and hope that this encourages you also..

These are the pictures of the crucifixion of Christ

Sculptured from metal by a man near Amarillo , TX ...
The crosses are made of metal also. The man did

this out of the kindness of his heart.

Someone donated the land

On which to erect them.

Who is Jesus?
HE IS JESUS
WHO IS HE?



IN CHEMISTRY, HE TURNED WATER TO WINE.



IN BIOLOGY, HE WAS BORN WITHOUT THE
NORMAL CONCEPTION;



IN PHYSICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF
GRAVITY WHEN HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN;



IN ECONOMICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW
OF DIMINISHING RETURN BY FEEDING 5000 MEN WITH
TWO FISHES & 5 LOAVES OF BREAD;



IN MEDICINE, HE CURED THE SICK AND THE
BLIND WITHOUT ADMINISTERING A SINGLE DOSE OF DRUGS,



IN HISTORY, HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END;



IN GOVERNMENT, HE SAID THAT HE SHALL
BE CALLED WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, PRINCE OF PEACE

IN RELIGION, HE SAID NO ONE COMES TO
THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM;



SO, WHO IS HE?
HE IS JESUS!



JOIN ME AND LET'S CELEBRATE HIM;

HE IS WORTHY.



THE EYES BEHOLDING THIS MESSAGE SHALL
NOT BEHOLD EVIL,




THE HAND THAT WILL
SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYBODY SHALL
NOT LABOR IN VAIN,



AND THE MOUTH SAYING AMEN

TO THIS PRAYER SHALL SMILE FOREVER.



REMAIN IN GOD AND SEEK HIS FACE ALWAYS.
AMEN



IN GOD I'VE FOUND EVERYTHING!



The Greatest Man in History
Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.



Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.



Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.



He had no army, yet kings feared Him...



He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.

He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.


He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.


I feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us!


If you believe in God and in Jesus
Christ His Son .. Send this to all on
Your buddy list.

If not just ignore it.

If you ignore it, just remember that Jesus said.
'If you deny me before man, I will deny you before my Father in Heaven.
