God Is Not Punishing You For Some Sin

Good day everyon!
Rejoice in this good news everyday of your life and
see how far this TRUTH will take you.

God Is Not Punishing You For Some Sin


Ephesians 1:7
7In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

Some Christians believe that although you have forgiveness of sins, you are not free from the penalties of your sins. In other words, you can still expect punishment from God. For example, some married Christian couples have been told that they are childless because God is punishing them for having had pre-marital sex. So although God has forgiven them of that sin, He still has to punish them for it.

I am certainly not for pre-marital sex, but I want you to know that God, who is the only one who can fully appreciate the full value of His Son’s blood and who is completely satisfied by His Son’s sacrifice, is at rest in His heart today concerning your sins! That is why He is not against you even when you fail. Neither is He out to punish you when you sin. No, He still loves you, is for you and wants to help you overcome that sin.

In the Old Testament, the blood of bulls and goats could only “cover” sins and not take them away. (Hebrews 10:4) But the blood of Jesus is not like the blood of animals! For by one sacrifice, the eternal blood of the Son of God has forever removed your sins (Psalm 103:12) and cleansed you of all unrighteousness! (1 John 1:9) In fact, God is so satisfied with His Son’s perfect work that He says to you today, “Your sins and lawless deeds I will by no means remember!” (Hebrews 10:17) And if God does not remember them, why would He punish you for them?

Beloved, you have “redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace”. Because Jesus’ work is complete, all your sins have been completely forgiven. And complete forgiveness means that the penalties for your sins can no longer fall on you because they had already fallen on Jesus at the cross. (Isaiah 53:5)

So don’t think for one moment that God is punishing you for some sin just because something bad happened to you. Look to the cross and know that all your sins have already been punished fully in the body of Christ. Believe that God is for you and expect victory!

Unworthy Me!!

Some Christian preachers would simply point their fingers at you making you feel more unworthy of God's love.

Don't fret!

Because it's true.

We are all unworthy.

From the very first day that we came out from our mother's womb, until today. And even tomorrow.

We will always be unworthy of His love.

That's why---

We need Jesus!


That's why Jesus sacrificed Himself at the cross!

He took all our pains, diseases and sins and put it on His perfect and holy body so we, as sinners, if we just BELIEVE in Him,
would become perfect in God's eyes.

God knows that we'd be forever sinful!
And the only way to save us from that is
to have a one-time sacrifice for us all-- forever!

And that's JESUS!!!

Then Jesus , before committing His spirit
to God, cried out loud , 'IT IS FINISHED!!"

Jesus has redeemed us so perfectly!

And now, I know God is no longer mad at us because of what He did.

I am just pissed with some 'perfect' Christians outhere who act like as if they could control the world.

No one knows what's inside in God's heart and mind right now.

But one thing I'm sure of,

That He is no longer mad at you and me who believes.
It's not because that He stooped down to our level as sinners and just forget about everything that we have done but it's because of. ..

Jesus sacrifice on the cross.

So pls, perfect Christians! Stop putting up the show!

If you want someone to really change and lead an honest to goodness holy and perfect life without sins, don't stress him out by telling him what he should do or not!
Lead Him to the cross!!

Don't force him to attend Bible study and memorize scriptures all day, and do good things or tell him to keep track of all the good things that he has done if deep inside he's not into it because that is soooo sickening!

Drown him with the Word!
Not your words but God's Words!

Let the power of God transform his heart instead.
Let him enjoy His presence and not runaway from Him!

I believe in God's power to change people
within.

I honor Jesus' blood when He shed it for my own sake so I can have a LIFE!!

I know, Jesus one time sacrifice on the cross has washed my sins clean.

I am now perfect in God's eyes all because
Of
JESUUUUUS!

And God knows I'll be forever thankful for it.

Yeah! I am unworthy. I am a sinner.

But I spend most of my time praising Him.

What about you 'perfect' Christians.

I bet you spend most of your time trying to point out someone else's mistakes somewhere while holding your Bible bombarding them with scriptures!



Well, I say to you. It shall take you forever.
:/

Don't tell me what to do!

I'm a Christian but please don't tell me what to do!

Ok I have received this in my inbox from one of my Christian groups
in facebook who preached...

"How can you say you are a follower of Jesus if you associate with the world, compete with the world and want to be like the world? If you follow Jesus you will talk like Jesus, live like Jesus and act like Jesus. Who are we fooling but ourselves?"

Let me ask you,
how do you feel if you read something like this?

If you're not a believer yet, probably, you'd stay away from Jesus
because honestly, it's hard to become like Jesus!

If you're a baby Christian, this may lead you to ask a lot of questions
and wonder if you're on the right congregation or not..confusing you even more.

Or you might start to have some doubts if you really want to follow Jesus
..because in the reality and human as we are..it's really hard to act like Jesus.

And then one day you just decide
to finally give up your faith on somewhere you think is practical and easy because that thought itself of "following Jesus" is stressing you out.

Been there ! Done that!

I stayed away from Jesus for so long because of this kind of preaching.
"If you're a Christian, you must become like one..act like one...do this...do that!"


Helllooooo! Don't give me those LAWS!!!

How to become like Jesus??

I don't want to become a hypocrite.
I can honestly say to you that I can't.

If I, with my own power and might, I'd become Jesus.

Then I wouldn't need Jesus in my life anymore!

Just like if you become a superman or any other heroes..

You don't need someone with a special power same as you to save the world.
or else, the other one will become useless.

Well, that's what I thought!

It's really hard to become like Jesus!

Believing God with whom you haven't seen personally is a
struggle enough of your faith.


So pleeeeease , "Perfect" Christians..let me walk in faith first.

I want to become UNCONSCIOUSLY like Jesus!

That I do good, not because doing good is good but it just merely comes
naturally in me...unconsciously.

I feel so mad right now.

I hate this kind of Christian preaching!

If I won't become like Jesus...then at least let me stay with Him..

Is that so much of a problem with you oh so "perfect" Christians???

(Speaks in tongues)

Everytime I feel like this.. I just grab one of Pastor Joseph Prince' sermon
and get drown with it.

and oh, one more thing, if you perfect Christians are really into so following and acting like Jesus..then let me ask you.. Did Jesus use the internet too?
By joining facebook and be online and looking for some sinners to point your gun into
and firing out your bullets on facebook or any other social networking sites
is you call what?! lolx!

Keys To Manifesting The Glory Of His Presence

I am healed!!!

I got little headaches and muscle pains on my back lately.
I don't like feeling this way.
It makes me soooo uncomfortable about life and I feel
like it's pulling me down.

Then I heard, a voice telling me..

"If you were healed by your Jesus, then how come you are feeling that way?
Do you feel that he is for real now that you're going to be sick?"

That made me pause for a while...and thought.

Pro 4:23 Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.

Then

I say,

"Heyyyy! I am not going to be sick. I am going to be well!
I maybe experiencing some pains today but God has bring back
my healing 2,000 years ago because of what Jesus did!

Don't make me wonder anymore, you devil! You are such a loser!

(Speaks in tongues)


Thank you for my healing, Lord!

I claim it no matter what...for I believe

The things which we can see with our physical eyes are temporary and will surely pass away, but the things which are not seen with our physical eyes are eternal... (2 Corinthians 4:18)


Yessss!! These pains that I have in me right now, are just temporary!

My healing comes from only You and You alone..

Let it be this way forever!

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." -Isaiah 41:10

Just in time.. I saw this video on youtube.

See how God assures me of His healing?

Protected Under His Wings

Singapore has confirmed its first case of Influenza A (H1N1).

Shall I be afraid?


Strangely but honestly, I am not.

For I am secured and I believe in God's protection over me.

Everywhere I go, that's my badge, "I AM PROTECTED"

for one thousand shall fall on my left hand and ten thousand on my right hand,
IT SHALL NOT COME NEAR ME! In Jesus mighty name!!!

Feed on this awesome message from Pastor Joseph Prince my friends.

and whatever the world is trying to tell you right now...

bad economy, recession, deaths, suicides, deadly diseases.

Let PEACE dwells in your heart.

That's all we gotta have...

One thing needful, you just have to REST in Him...


Safe Under God’s Wings

Psalm 91:4
4He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge…

A farmer walked around his farm to take stock of his losses after a fire had destroyed it. When he came to the chicken coop, he noticed the charred carcass of a mother hen. He used his foot to turn the carcass over and to his surprise, live chicks ran out from under it! The mother hen had died protecting her chicks from the fire.

In the Bible, wings speak of protection. David said to God, “Hide me under the shadow of Your wings.” (Psalm 17:8) Jesus Himself offered protection to the Jewish nation when He said, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!” (Luke 13:34)

He wanted to gather the children of Israel under His wings to protect them, but they were not willing. That was why He wept over Jerusalem. He literally shed tears because He saw the destruction that would come upon His people. He saw the Roman siege of Jerusalem in AD70, when the Romans burnt the city and holy temple, slaughtered many, took some captive and sold others as slaves. (Luke 19:41–44) I believe that He also saw the Holocaust of World War II, which resulted in the extermination of six million Jews.

For us, because we have not rejected Jesus, but have received Him as our Savior, we have His protection, especially in these times of deadly pestilences, natural catastrophes and terrorist attacks.

Like the mother hen who spread her wings and died protecting her chicks, Jesus spread His wings of love and died on the cross for us. And after He had died to save us, He rose again and lives today to make sure that we are well taken care of.

Beloved, see yourself under the wings of your Savior, who has promised you this in His Word: “He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge.”

My New Alarm Clock

I got addicted of facebook games and this made me stay up late lately.
Everyday I wake up so sluggish and when at work, I feel so sleepy.

I didn't like it. And I want more energy.

So last night. I knew that I will have a hard time waking up around 6 in the morning,
and then I anticipated , I'm gona be so lazy getting up for work again.

So a thought came to my mind.

After playing several games which made me drowsy around 1.30 am...
I just asked Jesus to wake me up instead.

I don't like to use my alarm because I feel pressure on it and
it makes me irritable ...

So, I thought, maybe Jesus can do something about it.




tic tac..tic tac...

morning comes....

I woke up around 6.20am...



And let me tell you, I woke up feeling so refreshed and energised
as if I got an 8hr sleep.

I'm here in my office now.

Not feeling sleepy, sluggish or irritable..but instead so hyper
and happy.:)

It's amazing!

It's totally a different feeling waking up with Jesus!

I couldn't explain!

Maybe you'll just need to try it yourself.

Before sleeping and if you feel so stress out and tired
about anything, just talk to Him and let Him wake you up
in the morning.

It works for me.

Just try it!


Thank you Jesus!

Word Of God Speak by MercyMe

One of my fave Christian songs that always warms my heart.






----Word of God Speak-----

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say

[CHORUS]
Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
Word of God speak

I'm finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice

[REPEAT CHORUS 2x]

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay

Which Is Easier To Say?

We always want a miracle .
We want instant healing, success and good things
to happen in our lives.

That's why we pray.

But when God seems so distant and we feel that He has been
ignoring our prayers, our faith level starts to drop.

Questions like, Does God really exist?
Or Does God hate me? blah blah blah!

Then , we end up complaining to a lot of stuffs.

In the natural, that's how we are.

Part of being human.

But as you start to believe in God, not by sight or by miracles
that you seen and heard,

BUT BY FAITH..no matter what.

Everything will come into place and things around you will start to change
according to His plan.

You just need to get a little patient with it.

Impatient. -> also part of being human. And I call it "ugly" and
deteriorating to one's health if it exists for so long inside us.
It sucks our soul which prompts us to do things on our own effort then
we screwd up!

I do have a lot of prayers
and I want a lot of things to happen in my life right now.

And I do get a little so impatient sometimes.

Nudging Him everytime.

Well, that's me.

In time, I know He will change me.

For now, as I wait for His approvals and go signals.

I will keep myself in His Words.

Whether I have experienced the manifestations or not.

...because I know His promises are true.

Which Is Easier To Say?


Colossians 2:13
13And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,

Let me ask you a question which Jesus asked the Pharisees: “Which is easier, to say [to the paralytic], ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk’?” (Luke 5:23)

In the context of ministering to a paralytic, saying “Your sins are forgiven” is probably easier. Why? Because you don’t need an outward manifestation to prove that his sins are forgiven. But when you tell him, “Rise up and walk,” he must rise up and walk, or you will look very foolish! So that makes saying “Your sins are forgiven” easier than saying “Rise up and walk”.

The truth is, what is seemingly more difficult for man in the natural is not so for God. With God, physical healing is clearly “easier” for Him than forgiveness of sins. The latter is the “harder” and greater miracle because it required God to deliver up His beloved Son to take on all our sins and shed His blood on the cross.

Yet, when faced with a loved one stricken with cancer, or when gripped by mounting debts after being jobless for a long time, we seem to find it harder to believe and say that God has already given us the breakthroughs we need, than to believe and say that our sins are forgiven. Saying that our sins are forgiven seems easier than saying that God has already given us the miraculous physical healing, supernatural financial breakthrough or divine favor at the next job interview.

But since God has done the “harder” and greater miracle of “having forgiven you all trespasses”, there is nothing He will not do for you! (Romans 8:32) In fact, if you think that there is something that God is withholding from you, you are implying that that something is greater than the forgiveness of sins which Jesus died to give you! But nothing can be greater than the perfect sacrifice of Jesus.

So hear the Lord telling you today, “Your sins have been forgiven you. You have perfect acceptance before God. Rise up and be healed! Rise up and walk in health, wisdom, favor, protection and wholeness!”

Those so -called "PERFECT" Christians!

Just today, some so called "perfect" Christians are getting on my nerves.
But I rebuke it IN JESUS NAME!!

They say, if one is in Jesus..they must not sin and stay away from sins.

My question is..how??

It's just easy for them to tell you, you must not do this, you must not do that!
Stay perfect!

How to stay perfect??? We are still in this world!

What if I lose my temper like right now where some things have been pissing me off??
What if I hate someone and cannot forgive yet.
What if I lie a little bit or lied big.
What if I judge or say some bad things on someone unconsciuosly out of
disappointment?
What if someone spat at me, cheated on me and steal something from me?
Am I just going to shrug my shoulder off and say, "it's meant to be!"

Before knowing the truth and I was still lost in this world,
those "perfect" Christians have already robbed me off from the love of God
that's meant for me.
Ignorant and not knowing Him yet, had made me stay away from Him for so long.

Now, that I know that....

God has forgiven me for my past, present and future sins by the blood of Jesus.

NO ONE can make me stay away from Him anymore.

I'm gona fight the good fight of faith!

My God is a good God.

..I am now made perfect in His eyes because of Jesus.

That's the only truth that I can brag about and stay sane in this mad-fallen world!


Pastor Prince is right.

The first thing that I must do is to be conscious of my position in Christ.

I am the righteousness of God in Christ- no matter what!



Be Conscious Of Your Position In Christ


John 15:5
5“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

In this verse, Jesus says, “I am the vine, you are the branches.” He did not say, “I am the vine, try to be the branches.” In other words, He wants us to realize that we are already the branches. We do not have to struggle to become the branches.

As His branches, we only have to abide or remain in Christ our vine. How do we do that? We do that by simply being conscious every day of our position in Christ. Because we have received Christ, we are in Christ and are accepted in the Beloved. (2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 1:6) God accepts us because we are in the Beloved and He is in us. And that is how God sees us today when we come into His presence.

What the devil wants to do then is to get you to focus on your condition instead of your position in Christ. The condition you are facing could be financial lack or deteriorating health. The devil wants you to focus on your condition and forget your position — that you are the righteousness of God in Christ and that you are seated with Him in heavenly places at the Father’s right hand. (2 Corinthians 5:21, Ephesians 2:6) He wants you to forget that you are an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ. (Romans 8:17)

The devil knows that once you focus on your position in Christ, it will give you the power to change your condition and circumstances. John 15:5 says that you will bear “much fruit”. This means that when you pray against any lack, abundant supply will flow. When you pray for healing, sickness will leave.

My friend, none of these things can happen by your own doing, but by His life which flows through you. Just as sap flowing through the branches of a vine will cause them to bring forth fruit, His life flowing through you will bring forth a bountiful harvest of prosperity, healing and miracles. You only need to remain conscious of who you are in Christ!

Look Ma, No Fears!

Few years ago, I wasn't so comfortable with travelling by plane, boats or ships.

Rooted with hearing of bad news of plane crashes, collisions,sinking and all
had put fear in my heart which made the whole journey and travelling less enjoyable.

I can remember one time, while I was taking a plane ride home.
...still lost of who I was and wondering of where to get protection from all these, I asked God, ' Lord, I dont know what to pray, but if this plane is going to crash and take my life, make it quick pls.'

After that, I just imagined Jesus carrying the plane throughout the entire journey because I felt somewhere deep inside me that God's gona protect me.
Once the plane landed and I saw myself on the arrival hall, that's when things start to get normal again. I could just shout. 'Hey, everyone, I made it ! I'm alive!!' lolx!

Pathetic ha?

Well, that's how I was when I haven't gotten to know my God and Jesus.

Full of Fears.

Paranoid.

Unsecured.


But now, I can boldly say that

I have no more fears!

Last time I checked when I went for a holiday last week.

Departure and Arrival blues was just a breeze.
Yes, I did experience a lot of strong turbulence every now and then, but it didn't make a way to scare me off.

Surprisingly,
I just slept throughout the entire journey with peace in my heart and assurance that God will protect me and everyone else on that plane.

Hey! I have been set FREE!!

NO MORE FEARS!

Because the Word says
God is my protector!
Wherever I go,
He shall keep me in His wings!

Check
Psalm 91!

Jesus' blood shall protect me.

Now, I can plan on my next trip.

It's just amazing how God keeps me in His Words. Things are getting better and better each day as my journey unfolds.

This truth that I know right now changes me from within. I don't care how He does it. I just want Him to keep doing it.

My God protects.

He really does!

Halleluyah!

My Daily Dose ...

I spend roughly 2-3hrs taking bus and mrt everyday of my life.
I can see most people have ways and means of killing the time just to escape boredom.
Play psp, ds lite, listen to mp3s, ipodding
Or sleep.

Me?
I just listen to this.




Listening to Pastor Prince sermons everyday, everywhere just makes my day.

I don't do it because, I MUST do it.
I do it because I am hungry for it.

I cannot explain how God's words have changed me within.

For sure. It has made me so relax and carefree in just about anything that happens in my life.

Good or bad. I have learned to stand still and just watched.

I will keep feeding myself to His words.
For that's all I gotta do to survive in this
stressful, mad, fallen word!

I have been feeling a bit dizzy lately.

I got this pain at the back of my neck that I am not sure
if I'm having hypertensions or maybe just one of my hyperthyroidism
symptoms attacking me.

As I'm typing this right now.. I feel so giddy.

My mind is feeding me a lot of thoughts.

Negative and positive thoughts.

Negative in the sense that it made me so impatient on my healing.

Asking God, when does my healing comes.

BUT..

NO!

There's this part of me that's telling me to calm down.
Take it easy...relax..

It's not that I'm going to die or what.

Probably, this is the best time to take some painkillers or maybe
decide to just go on continue my medication.

I can say to God, "hellooo God, I'm sick! I need to have that med!"

(lolx, sounds funny, isn't it)

I'm sorry but I am just human.

Sometimes my faith fails me.
Sometimes it lifts me up. That's how fragile I am.
That's why I can never boast of my love for God and JEsus. Because
my feelings are inconsistent. But God is not!
So bear with me for awhile.


Strangely, enough. I don't feel so at peace with those thoughts.

It's really easy to reach out to those temporary relief, actually.

You can just pull out some cash in your pocket.
Drive your way out to the doctor.
Go home.
Follow the prescriptions.
Take meds. 2x..every 4hrs and back again.
Sleep.
Relax.
Take dinner and then it's time to take that med again.
Voila!

You're on a routine.

It may give you a temporary relief and healing for the meantime
but it's NOT lasting.
The doctor can't even assure you if it's gona heal you forever or what.

Am I making sense? You might think I'm not. But let me continue.


Well,
That's how the world does it. And most people can just accept it like
that thinking that it's part of living.

Me?

I don't want inconsistent healing.
I want SUPERNATURAL healing!

And I believe , inspite of what I am feeling right now.,
I ALREADY HAVE IT!


Jesus is my healing. He has healed me 2000 years ago when
He was beaten. scourged , whipped and broke His bones and shed blood.

It's the TRUTH that I know.

The ONLY TRUTH that has set me free!

By JESUS stripes, I am healed!

I am not gona let what JESUS did on the cross be put to waste!

I am going to claim it because
It is well written in the Bible.

If God says , I am healed . I AM HEALED!

Period!


"“For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword,
it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow;
it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)


For now, I'm gona soak on Jesus...let His love and words of comfort,assurance
and healing fill my mind and soul so I can stop complaining.

It's relaxing this way than spending hours of worrying and blah-blah-blahs.


Ready for the Word my friends?

Let's stop worrying!

Let's Feed On Jesus And Live :)


John 6:57
57As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

Some time ago, I visited a friend of a church member who had cancer and wanted healing. He was all ears, lapping and soaking up everything I shared with him. Today, he worships with us in our church and is completely healed of cancer.

I remember being at another man’s home at the invitation of his family members. He too was suffering from cancer. When I entered his home, the man had his television on. I started sharing Christ with him but he was not at all interested in what I was saying. He continued watching the television program. I knew then that his healing was a lost cause because faith for healing comes by hearing God’s Word, not by watching television, reading newspapers or listening to your favorite music.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not against these things, but they are not going to heal you. When you are sick, what you want is God’s healing flowing in your body. How does that happen?

One of the primary ways in which it happens is when you read your Bible, soaking up everything on Jesus. Before you know it, His divine health flows into your body, driving out every symptom of pain, sickness and disease. Even your discouragement dissolves effortlessly. You find yourself encouraged, refreshed and your darkness giving way to light. You see, there is no way you can feed on Jesus through reading and hearing His Word, and still remain the same. He said, “The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63)

My friend, God wants Jesus to be food for you. We feed on Christ by seeing Him unveiled in the Word, by seeing and meditating on what the Holy Spirit reveals of His beauty and glory, and His finished work at Calvary. That is how we enjoy Jesus. It is like having a good meal. And when you do that, Jesus Himself promises that “he who feeds on Me will live because of Me”!
