Like I said, God is no longer mad at us anymore because of Jesus' sacrifice.
So lets us stop thinking or hearing the world from blaming God on earthquakes, tsunamis, H1N1 , etc. because He is gona protect us all from all these.
Isaiah 54:7-10
7 "For a brief moment I abandoned you,
but with deep compassion I will bring you back.
8 In a surge of anger
I hid my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness
I will have compassion on you,"
says the LORD your Redeemer.
9 "To me this is like the days of Noah,
when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth.
So now I have sworn not to be angry with you,
never to rebuke you again.
10 Though the mountains be shaken
and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
nor my covenant of peace be removed,"
says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
Halleluyaaaaah!!!

My Daily Verse
“He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.”

God Says ‘I Will’ In The New Covenant
Aren't you glad God is not like your boss?
Halleluyaaaaah !!
God Says ‘I Will’ In The New Covenant
Hebrews 8:10,12
10… I will put My laws in their mind… I will be their God… 12… I will be merciful to their unrighteousness… their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
You may be feeling stressed at work today because your boss just gave you a list of things to do. Maybe he told you, “You have to type this letter. You have to meet this client. You have to write this report. You have to…” Wouldn’t it be nice if your boss had, instead, said, “I will type this letter for you. I will meet this client for you. I will write this report for you. I will…”?
Well, your boss may not be that gracious, but your Father in heaven is! When He found fault with the old covenant and established the new covenant (Hebrews 8:7–8) in His Son’s blood, His “Thou shalls” became “I wills”.
You see, under the old covenant, the focus is on you — Thou shall not… Thou shall not… Thou shall not… It is all about your performance, your obedience, your works. But under the new covenant, God says, “I will put My laws in their mind… I will be their God… I will be merciful to their unrighteousness… their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” It is no longer you working for God, but God working for you, in you, through you!
“Isn’t there something for me to do?” you may ask.
My friend, the only thing for you to do is to believe God’s “I wills”. The more you believe His “I wills” or promises, the more you will see His heart for you and the more your faith will grow.
It is foolish for me to just tell you, “Come on, man, have faith!” You will still find it hard to have faith because I am not giving you anything to build faith in you. But if I were to tell you all about what God says He will do for you, faith will arise in your heart. Faith is a response to knowing what God says He will do for you.
So the best thing you can “do” under the new covenant is to not focus on what you must do for God, but what God says He will do for you!

Yes Lord I'm Listening....
...and then God answered: Write this.
Write what you see. Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run.
This vision- message is a witness pointing to what's coming.
It aches for the coming-- it can hardly wait!
And it doesn't lie.
If it seems slow in coming, wait.
It's on its way.
It will come right on time.

God Wants To Wow You With His Goodness
How's your weekend everyone?
Starts of Monday here in Singapore!
Oh yeaaaah!
Sharing an awesome message from Joel Osteen Ministry to start your week right.
Be blessed!
Here goes....
Dear Friend,
Did you know that God can use a single moment to transform your life for the better?
God is always working, even when we have no idea what He's doing. He loves to bless us with His amazing, awe-inspiring goodness, even when we least expect it or when things don't seem to be going the right way.
Romans 8:28 is a popular verse but never gets old. To me, it's one of the most encouraging verses in the entire Bible. "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them" (NLT).
I love the word "everything" in this verse. We tend to think of bad things and difficult seasons, but "everything" includes more. It includes the good things as well as the things that we are indifferent about. God takes all of those things and works them out for our good.
He wants you to be the kind of person who thinks about His promises all the time, who believes the best, and who keeps hoping when others just give up. If you live this way, I believe you'll be amazed at how God works in your life. You'll experience His favor in what I call a "God-ordained moment."
A God-ordained moment is an incredible, supernatural event that God's been setting up, working behind the scenes so that you can experience His goodness at just the right time.
These God-ordained moments don't come on our schedule, but when they come, all we can say is: "Wow!"
Victoria and I want to remind you not to allow discouragement, a busy schedule or the hurts from your past to cause you to miss what God is doing in your life. Most importantly, don't give up on being blown away by God's favor.
Because of how big our God is and how much He loves us, I believe that we can experience "Wow" moments on a continual basis, as long as we continue to love Him and obey His Word.
Victoria and I want to say thank you for supporting this ministry and helping us share the message of HOPE in Jesus Christ around the world. We are believing with you for a year filled with God-ordained moments in your life!

Jesus Delights In You Drawing From Him
Jesus Delights In You Drawing From Him
John 4:32
32But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”
When people make demands on you or keep depending on you, you may end up stressed, tired and irritable. But this is not the case with Jesus. When people draw from Him, He is strengthened and refreshed!
Jesus is, after all, God. And you honor God when you take your place as man and let God be God by drawing from Him. The One who said, “I did not come to be served, but to serve,” (Matthew 20:28) loves it when you allow Him to minister to you.
The Bible tells us that when Jesus arrived at Sychar, He was wearied from the journey and rested at a well. A sinful Samaritan woman then came to the well to draw water. Jesus ministered to her and she left rejoicing with the promise of living water. The disciples, having returned with food for Jesus, found Him already strengthened and refreshed. When they wondered who had given Him food while they were away, He told them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.” (John 4:1–42)
Today, when you draw from Jesus and let Him minister to you, it is “food” for Him that “refreshes” and “strengthens” Him.
But it takes humility for us to allow Jesus to minister to us. We take pride in doing things for the Lord. We want to build our businesses, families and ministries for Him. All that is good, but without Jesus, we are spiritually bankrupt! We really have nothing to give to the Lord and His work. What we need to do first is to receive from Him because when we freely receive from Him, we are able to freely give. (Matthew 10:8)
My friend, Jesus wants to minister to you. Don’t try to minister to yourself. That is pride and self-righteousness. The Pharisees of Jesus’ day, who felt that they did not need Him and that they could provide for themselves, were the ones who could not receive from Him. So bring to Him your needs and say, “Lord, I need to draw from You. I present my needs to You. Minister to me and meet my needs. I cannot, but You can. Thank you, Lord.”

Explore the Treasure Within by Victoria Olsteen
Explore the Treasure Within
I read a story about a man who lived in a tiny apartment and died in extreme poverty. At one point in his life, he had even been homeless, living on the streets. This man never had any successes to speak of nor any noted victories. He lived and died as just another face in the crowd.
After the funeral, some family members went to his little run-down apartment to clear out his belongings. They found a painting hanging on the wall so they decided to sell it at a garage sale. The woman who bought the picture took it to a local art gallery for an appraisal and was shocked to discover that the painting was extremely valuable. The piece of art that hung for so many years in a little run-down apartment was painted by a famous artist who lived in the early 1800s. The woman decided to auction off that painting and ended up selling it for several million dollars.
Just think how that poor man's life might have changed if he had known the value of what he possessed. He was a multimillionaire and didn't even know it. So many people live like that today with priceless treasure inside, and they don't even know it. Sometimes we have to explore what's on the inside of us to really understand what we have.
I encourage you today; don't settle for living a mediocre existence. You are a masterpiece created by the most famous Artist of all. Every morning when you get out of bed, remind yourself, I am important. I am handpicked by God, and I am a person of extreme value and significance.
For we are God's masterpiece…(Ephesians 2:10, NLT).

He wants to restore everything that has ever been stolen. He wants to heal every single hurt and pain. He sees the longings and desires of your heart, and you can rest knowing that He is working things out for your good!
So today, know that you are precious to Him. He has your best interest at heart. He is working to bring restoration and peace to you. Keep standing, keep believing, and keep doing the right thing because the One who collects your tears will restore every broken place in your life!

ONLY HOPE For The Philippines
This is the BEST email that I received today.
Loved this. Yes I agree.
God is our only HOPE for the healing and Full restoration of our country, The Philippines.
Not rallies , complaints or anger.
Just PRAYER and talking to Him..
Blogging and spreading this out.
*THE ONLY HOPE FOR THE PHILIPPINES*
by Father James Reuter, S.J.
By her own admission, GMA (Gloria Macapagal Arroyo) rightfully assessed that over the last decades; our republic has become one of the weakest, steadily left behind by its more progressive neighbors.' Forty years ago, we were only second to Japan in economic stature, and way ahead of Singapore , Hong Kong , Malaysia , and Thailand . Today, at our present growth rate, it will take us 30 years to get to where Thailand is.
1.. A population of 160 Million;
2. Of those, 70 to 90 million (equivalent to our current population) will live below the poverty line;
3. Our national debt is estimated to be at US$200B (compared to US$28B when Marcos fled, and US$53B today);
4. We will be competing, not against Thailand or even Vietnam , but against Bangladesh ;
5. We will be the most corrupt nation in Asia , if not in the world (we're already ranked 11th most corrupt nation by Transparency International) .
The signs are clear. Our nation is headed towards an irreversible path of economic decline and moral decadence. It is not for lack of effort. We've seen many men and women of integrity in and out of government, NGOs, church groups & people's organization devote themselves to the task of nation-building, often times against insurmountable odds.
But not even two people's revolutions, bloodless as they may be, have made a dent in reversing this trend. At best, we have moved one step forward, but three steps backward.
We need a force far greater than our collective efforts, as a people, can ever hope to muster. It is time to move the battle to the spiritual realm.. It's time to claim GOD's promise of healing of the land for His people. It's time to gather GOD's people on its knees to pray for the economic recovery and moral reformation of our nation.
Is prayer really the answer? Before you dismiss this as just another rambling of a religious fanatic, I'd like you to consider some lessons we can glean from history.
England 's ascendancy to world power was preceded by the Reformation, a spiritual revival fueled by intense prayers.
The early American settlers built the foundation that would make it the most powerful nation today - a strong faith in GOD and a disciplined prayer life. Throughout its history, and especially at its major turning points, waves of revival and prayer movement swept across the land.
In recent times, we see Korea as a nation experiencing revival and in the process producing the largest Christian church in the world today, led by Rev. Paul Yongi Cho. No wonder it has emerged as a strong nation when other economies around it are faltering.
Even from a purely secular viewpoint, it makes a lot of sense. For here there is genuine humbling & seeking of GOD through prayer, moral reformation necessarily follows. And this, in turn, will lead to general prosperity. YES, we believe prayer can make a difference. It's our only hope.
Today, we launch this email brigade, to inform Filipinos from all over the world to pray, as a people, for the economic recovery and moral reformation of our nation. We do not ask for much. We only ask for 5 minutes of your time in a day, to fwd this email to your close friends and relatives.
This is the kind of unity which can make a big difference. Of course, if you feel strongly, as I do, about the power of prayer, you can be more involved by starting your own prayer group or prayer center.
We have tried people power twice; in both cases, it fell short. Maybe it's time to try prayer power. GOD never fails. Is there hope? YES! We can rely on God's promise, but we have to do our part. If we humble ourselves and pray as a people, GOD will heal our land. By GOD's grace, we may yet see a better future for our children.
'If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land...'(2 Chronicles 7:14).
If you care for your children and grandchildren, PLEASE pass this on. .. ...

Confessing Your Righteousness Pleases God
It's Friday wooooohooooooooo!
Don't you love to be blessed each day with His Words?
These are pure good news peepz!
The world can shake but no worries because we have the Solid Rock on which we stand
and that's Jesuuuus!!!
With Jesus, we are unshakeable!
Halleluyah!
------
Confessing Your Righteousness Pleases God
Romans 10:6
6... the righteousness of faith speaks...
Every time you confess, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ”, God the Father is pleased. When you confess that you are the righteousness of God in Christ, it reminds Him of what His Son has done for you to become righteous.
Also, by making you righteous, God is showing Himself righteous — “to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus”. (Romans 3:26)
Each time Jesus hears you confess, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ,” it brings much pleasure to His heart too, because you are laying hold of what He suffered and died to give you.
The Holy Spirit, who now indwells you to convict you of righteousness (John 16:10), also rejoices when you confess, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” He is pleased when you flow with Him.
The delight of the Godhead is not the only thing you gain when you declare, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” The Bible tells us that when you “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness… all these things shall be added to you”. (Matthew 6:33)
Whether it is food, clothing or other necessities in life, “all these things” will be added to you. They will not just be given to you, but added to you as your inheritance when you seek first His righteousness.
You don’t need to use your faith for every single need in life. You just need to use your faith for one thing — to believe that you are the righteousness of God in Christ, and it will cause all the blessings you seek to come after you and overtake you!

God wants me to know....
I love this facebook app..."God wants you to know.."
it's so much better than reading your horrorscope. hhaha!
Sharing my message for today...
"You may think you have challenges, but you have so many blessings. Sometimes it takes only a moment of conscious effort to recognize those blessings. Once you focus on the gifts instead of the problems, your whole perspective will change and you will see blessings everywhere.."
God Of This City - Chris Tomlin
Let us stop complaining on our politicians, presidents, neighbors or government.
Instead let us pray for our nation.
God is BIG AND MIGHTY! Let us not stop believing that.
Because He is our only way...our only HOPE..
AMEN.

Why was God mad in the Old Testament?
Yesterday, I asked God why He was so angry at our forefathers in the Old Testament. So mad that He needed to sacrifice His son Jesus to save us all.
Then a thought told me,
"Read Jeremiah. "
I asked, " ok. Which chapter?"
He said, " 16"
Then of course the thought was so strong that it really made me
open my Bible app.
Suddenly, I found myself in Jeremiah 16....reading the whole chapter and felt God was really talking to me.
At that moment, I felt like bending down on my knees and cry out to Him.
I'm glad that no matter what happened in my life. Even in my worst time of year I never declined and worship other gods.
Because indeed, He is a jealous God!
And then this morning,
I've read today's devotional from
Joseph Prince... Which made me appreciate Jesus more and more for coming down to take the sacrifice to save me and everyone else who believes!
Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice. Now I know that God
is no longer mad at me because of You!
Halleluyaaaah!
Read on... and be blessed.
The King Is Not Angry With You
Proverbs 19:12
12The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
The Bible tells us that the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8) But have you ever wondered why he acts like a roaring lion?
It has something to do with a lion’s roar. In the Bible, the roaring of a lion speaks of the king’s wrath — “The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion”. So when the devil walks about like a roaring lion, he is trying to give you the impression that the King is angry with you. And when you believe that God is angry with you, the devil knows that he has got you.
When you think that God is angry or displeased with you, you will not be confident of His love toward you. Instead, you will expect and fear punishment from Him. And you will want to stay away from Him because you do not wish to incur His wrath any further.
But the truth is that God is not angry with you, even when you fail or blow it, because all your sins have already been judged in the body of His Son at the cross. As the Lamb of God, Jesus became your burnt offering. That is why He said, “I thirst.” (John 19:28)
Those who heard Him say that at Calvary that day thought that His thirst was physical. Actually, His thirst was spiritual because He was being “burnt” by the fire of God’s wrath. He was being judged for our sins. His body exhausted all of God’s wrath until every claim of God’s holiness was satisfied and His wrath appeased!
Now, there is a law called “the law of double jeopardy”, which states that the same crime cannot be tried twice. Today, the fire of God’s wrath will never fall on you as a believer because it has already fallen on His Son at the cross. He judged your sins then, but in the body of His Son.
So right now, you are not under the King’s wrath but His favor. And His favor rains down on you like dew on the grass every morning!

The devil has been defeated!
When some Christian teachings will lead you to focus on the devil instead of focusing on Jesus, Stay away from it.
Heyyy Jesus is more powerful than the devil why should you think and waste your time on him.
Stay focused on Jesus and see His salvation.
Jesus wants you to stay with Him, enjoy His peace and trust His protection.
The world can talk you out of the negativities, fears and worries.
Let Jesus talk you out of His unexplainable peace and be set free!
Just tell Jesus, " Jesus pls. teach me to overcome the negativities of this world. Impart me your wisdom so I know how to handle tough things in your mighty name. Amen. "

The Reason For The Resurrection
Romans 4:25
25who [Jesus] was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.
The Bible tells us that Christ was delivered up for our sins and raised from the dead for our justification. You may already know why Jesus died for our sins, but do you know the significance of God raising Him from the dead?
Let me give you an illustration to help you understand the significance of Jesus’ resurrection.
Let’s say that you are living in a foreign country. One day, you happen to break a major rule of the land. You appeal to the king for mercy. He says, “A rule is a rule. I cannot bend the rule for you. What will others say about my integrity? However, if you can find a substitute to take your punishment — three months in jail — I will allow it.”
By God’s grace, you find a willing substitute. He goes to prison on your behalf and you don’t see him for some time. Days, weeks and months pass by.
Now, how or when will you know that your crime has been fully paid for? When will you be able to rest easy regarding your crime? It is when you see your substitute walking free again! When you see him out of prison, you will know that the sentence has been fully served. You will know that you are now justified and no one can bring a charge against you for your old crime. No longer will you be afraid of the king or his guards coming after you because you know that the one who was punished in your place is now walking free.
Beloved, Jesus, your substitute, paid the debt you could not pay. On the cross, He bore the sins of your entire life. God put it all on Jesus and then He punished Jesus for every single one of those sins until He was fully satisfied. And because He was so pleased with what Jesus had done, He raised Him from the dead.
Today, Jesus’ tomb remains empty. He is not there for He has risen! His resurrection and empty tomb will forever be our assurance that we have been fully justified. You no longer have to be afraid of God judging you for your sins. His justice is on your side today!
Thought of The Day
Jesus’ resurrection and empty tomb will forever be our assurance that we have been fully justified!

"under-promise" like when your

recession blah, blah, blah .
but me in God's world I am
"over-promise"

God Can Turn Your Evil Day Into Good Days
God Can Turn Your Evil Day Into Good Days
Esther 9:22
22… rest from their enemies… sorrow to joy… mourning to a holiday…
Today, many Jews still celebrate the feast of Purim. The name Purim is derived from “the lot” which a Gentile, Haman, cast concerning the fate of the Jews when they were in Persia under King Ahasuerus.
Haman, the villain in this story in the book of Esther, hated the Jews and sought to exterminate them. He got King Ahasuerus to allow him to issue a decree to annihilate all the Jews in one day — the thirteenth day of the twelfth month of Adar. But God used Queen Esther and her uncle Mordecai, both Jews, to turn the tables on Haman and save the Jews.
Haman was hanged on the very gallows that he had constructed for Mordecai! Then, the king allowed Queen Esther and Mordecai to issue a counter-decree to allow all the Jews to defend themselves and destroy their enemies in one day — the thirteenth day of the twelfth month of Adar!
So instead of the Jews being exterminated on that fateful day, their enemies were destroyed! God turned an evil day for the Jews into good days. He turned their mourning into rejoicing and gave them victory over their enemies.
My friend, God can do the same for you today. He only wants you to remain in your position of rest in Christ. You see, because of Jesus’ finished work at the cross, you are seated in heavenly places in Christ, far above every principality, and evil assault the devil can throw at you. (Ephesians 2:6) Just as Mordecai sat within the king’s gate, and refused to stand up and bow to Haman, let’s not “bow” to the devil by being persuaded to move from our position of rest in Christ. Don’t allow him to get you worried, frantic and doing things to save yourself.
Queen Esther was also in a position of rest before Haman was executed. (Esther 7) She was seated on a couch as Haman pleaded with her for his life. While doing so, he accidentally fell over the couch where the queen was. The king, thinking that Haman was assaulting his queen, sent him to the gallows!
Beloved, remain at rest in Christ’s finished work, and He will turn your evil day into days of rejoicing and feasting!

So now I'm sharing this with you.
Be bless in any way.
"No one can hoodwink you into believing that sicknesses and diseases
are sent by God to teach you character and humility, when you know
beyond the shadow of a doubt that Jesus came to give you abundant life,
and took upon His own body all your sicknesses, pains and infirmities at the cross."
Source: Unmerited Favor by Joseph Prince
...more to come...
"While Jesus is in the Old Testament concealed, He is in the New Testament revealed.
The stronger your foundation in the new covenant is, the more you will be able to see
Jesus unveiled in the Old Testament."
"Today, all the righteous requirements of the law are fulfilled in your life through JESUS!!"
"The law is designed to expose all your deficiencies, but grace (unmerited favor) points you to your
sufficiency in Christ."
"The law demands from man, but grace (unmerited favor) imparts to man."
The law puts the burden on you to perform, while grace (unmerited favor) puts
the the burden on Christ's performance."
"The law tells you that you have failed, but grace (unmerited favor) shows you how you
are more than a conqueror in Christ."
what do you do?

There are times when
I feel so irrational, immature and silly.. Like at this moment.
Something really pissed me off and I know I can explode anytime with so much anger.
But no.. It's just my thoughts and feelings.
And I know Holy spirit wont leave me hanging in times like these.
I am just human.
I fail.
I get mad.
Sometimes I'm not in the mood.
That's normal, right?
Right now, I switched my phone to airplane mode so my friends wouldn't be able call me.
Because
sometimes I wana be alone.
Well,
that's me!
I don't want or don't need to struggle to change when at this moment, I am just being me!
If you can't understand that someone else will have to.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Pause.
Relax....
You know what,
I'm just glad even if I'm like this I know there's someone up above who loves me sooooo no matter what.
Who just keeps His silent when I get mad and yet still holding unto me..comforting me. Not nagging me.
And that's Jesus.
Right now, I don't long for His presence. But I'm assured He is just there ready to hug me..
Jesus, whatever I'm going through right now, pls bless me with your wisdom.
I need tons of it right now.
Thank you.
Amen!

1 John 4:10
10In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
"You have to love God more! You must have more passion for God!” You have probably heard this type of preaching and may have even tried your best to love God, only to fail miserably.
But what is the true definition of love? Let the Bible define it for us: “… this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us…” Yes, it is not about our love for Him, but His love for us!
“Pastor Prince, the Bible says that you must love God with all your heart, soul and strength!”
Yes, that is true according to the law (Deuteronomy 6:5), and even Jesus taught that as the great commandment when He walked on earth. (Matthew 22:37) But that was before He died on the cross. At the cross, He became the very fulfillment of this law for us when He loved us with all His heart, soul and strength, by laying down His body and life on the cross for us.
Today, we are no longer under the law but under grace. And grace tells us that God loves us, not that we love God. Yet, we will love Him when we see how much He loves us. The Bible says that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us! (Romans 5:8) That’s how much He loves us!
Beloved, God has seen you trying your best to love Him. And because He loves you, He wants you to sit down and be still, and let Him love you instead. He wants to love you with all that He is and all that He has. He loves you unconditionally regardless of who you are or what you have done because His love is not dependent on you but on Himself. He will never stop loving you.
So let God love you today. Don’t worry about loving Him. The more of His love you receive, the more you will fall in love with Him!

The Blood Of Jesus Protects
Halleluyaaaah!
The blood of Jesus makes me whole!
Enjoy today's powerful devotional from Joseph Prince everyone.
Good morning:)
It's 4.58 am here in Singapore.
-------
The Blood Of Jesus Protects
Exodus 12:13
13… And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
For 400 years, the children of Israel were slaves in Egypt. Life for them was one of hard labor, pain, loss and even death. When Moses their deliverer came, what soon followed was one plague after another on the Egyptians. But none of the plagues caused Pharaoh to release the Israelites until they put the blood on their doorposts. What nine plagues could not do, the blood did! The Israelites were finally set free because of the blood.
Are you under any kind of bondage? Are your loved ones held captive by the destroyer who is bent on destroying them? Plead the blood of the Lamb of God over all that is yours and your family’s. When nothing else seems to work, His blood always works!
When I was a teenager doing a stint as a relief teacher in a primary school, one of the girls in my class was absent from school one day. I didn’t think too much about her absence until I returned home that afternoon. As I was praying, I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to pray for her protection and to cover her with the precious blood of Jesus.
It was revealed later on that she had been abducted by a notorious serial killer who had murdered a number of young children. My pupil recounted how she had been tied up and offered to the “deities” the killer had in his flat. Miraculously, he released her when the evil spirits found her to be an unsuitable offering.
Why was this pupil released unharmed? I believe that she was presented to the deities on the same afternoon that I pleaded the blood of Jesus over her. Of course, the evil spirits did not want her because the Most High God would not allow them to have her. God was protecting her. She was set free because of the blood of Jesus!
You see, when you plead the blood of Jesus, the destroyer cannot come near. When he sees the blood, he must respect the blood. He cannot touch what is covered by the blood. The blood of Jesus truly protects and sets you free!

You Are Complete In Christ
You Are Complete In Christ
Colossians 2:10
10and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
When you look at yourself, what do you see? Do you see someone who is imperfect and lacking in many areas, or someone who is whole and complete in Christ?
There are believers who see themselves as incomplete. This is because they are conscious of their lack and imperfections. They say, “There are so many things imperfect about me! How can I be complete if there are so many things I am lacking in?” They see their weaknesses, condemn themselves and feel inferior to others.
The good news is that God does not see the way man sees. Man sees the flesh. God sees the spirit. He sees us already complete in Christ. In spite of our imperfections, He sees us as new creations, partakers of His divine nature and more than conquerors over our faults. And He wants us to see ourselves the way He sees us.
What we think we need or are lacking in, whether it is godly character traits or physical health, we already have in Christ.
I used to think that I had to ask God to make me more patient, until I realized one day that Jesus is my patience. Since then, I no longer ask God to make me wiser either, because Jesus is my wisdom. (1 Corinthians 1:30) I am not waiting to receive more healing because Jesus is my complete healing at this moment. And I am not yearning for peace and rest one day because Jesus is my peace and rest today. Right now, I have everything because I stand complete in Christ!
My friend, you are not going to be complete in Christ some day — you are already complete in Christ! And what remains for you to do is to walk daily in that completeness by believing that it is true and confessing that what you need right now, Jesus is to you. He is your complete forgiveness, complete righteousness, complete favor and complete protection.
So don’t focus on the lack you see in your life. Focus instead on how in Christ, you are complete in everything at this moment. And instead of weaknesses, lack and defects, you will see His strength, wholeness, soundness and completeness manifesting in you!

Losing my job??
I'm in a force leave now for 5 days and then uh oh a crappy thought attacked me asking, "

Wish I could help my boss and stretch out for more but I have no choice. I really need to find a job soon. Anyways, I promise I'm gona help her the best way I can even if I'm outhere somewhere.
This is so far the most exciting part of my career. You know
I'm already have gone passed middle-aged. As a graphic designer, I am just average. Really don't know much about those artists you find in Deviant
Or any other websites. Whew!
Well now,
do I need to worry?
I say a big and resounding "NO"!
And I hear Him telling me to have peace in everything that's going on ..
Yes. He is teaching me and leading me to still waters.
Why should I be afraid??
Why should I be troubled?
JESUS is taking care of me!
He wouldn't let me go this far.
Come here in Singapore and become a Permanent Resident
and just ditch me like that.
No way!
Because He is my Father.
Above all things, all He wants is
to give me a good future.
Ameeeen!!!

BarlowGirl - I Need You To Love Me Official Video
Why, why are You still here with me
Didn't You see what I've done?
In my shame I want to run and hide myself
But it's here I see the truth
I don't deserve You
[Chorus:]
But I need You to love me, and I
I won't keep my heart from You this time
And I'll stop this pretending that I can
Somehow deserve what I already have
I need You to love me
I, I have wasted so much time
Pushing You away from me
I just never saw how You could cherish me
'Cause You're a God who has all things
And still You want me
Your love makes me forget what I have been
Your love makes me see who I really am
Your love makes me forget what I have been
Shuffle App in Facebook
I just discovered this Shuffle app in facebook and start loving it.
It's where you can choose any categories like quotes, sayings about just anything and post
it as your stats.
I have make quite a few favorites and I'm gona share it with you..
Enjoy!
- Don't let your worries get the best of you; Remember, Moses started out as a basket case..
-...if Jesus is your co-pilot, you should switch places.
- It's easy to hate, hold a grudge and get even.. It takes Great Strength to Forgive, Let Go and Move On.
- Everyone says GOD won't give you what you can't handle , The truth is , they helps you handle what you have been given.
- Religion is for those people who do not wish to go to hell. Spirituality is for those of us who have already been there.
- In the morning when I wake up I smile, because God let me live another day.
Ok enough for this thread. let me post some later.
I need to post a beautiful video from Barlow Girl.
Be right back.
God’s Superabounding Grace For You
God’s Superabounding Grace For You
2 Corinthians 9:8
8And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
If you were in the same synagogue as the man with the withered hand (Luke 6:6–11), how would you see him and what do you think you would say to him?
Jesus was preaching in that synagogue when He saw the man with the withered hand. But He also saw superabounding grace around that hand for healing and wholeness. He sees differently from us. He sees the invisible. He sees that the kingdom of God is here, ever-present in any situation, with superabundant supply. We see only the visible, which is tangible, temporal and which seems so real to us.
But Jesus saw superabounding grace on that withered hand for healing because you do not tell a man with a withered hand, “Stretch out your hand,” unless you see the supply, the superabundance for wholeness for that hand. Jesus called forth the superabounding grace to envelop that man’s withered hand, and the hand was made whole.
It is possible for someone who is sick to have superabounding grace on him and yet that superabundance of grace does not heal his body. That is because he keeps acknowledging the lack or the problem he sees. He is more concerned with that which is visible and temporal.
Instead of calling forth, and acknowledging and confessing the superabundance of God’s grace, he confesses his negative circumstance all the time. So even though the superabounding grace is there, it is there in vain. Isn’t that sad?
Jesus called forth life, and life sprang into visibility. We must call forth what we want to see. Say, “Father, I thank You that right now, though my health is under attack, there is superabounding grace available for my healing and health. I call it forth and receive it now in Jesus’ name. Amen!”
My friend, don’t be conscious of what you see lacking or missing. Be conscious of God’s superabounding grace for you and avail yourself of it!

Redeemed From Every Type Of Sickness
Redeemed From Every Type Of Sickness
Galatians 3:13
13Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),
The One who cleansed lepers, opened blind eyes and made the lame to walk took your sins, sicknesses and every curse when He hung on Calvary’s tree. The curses that were meant for you because of your sins fell on Him instead. He was cursed in your place to redeem you from every curse that comes as a result of breaking God’s laws.
What are these curses? They are listed in Deuteronomy 28. It is a long and detailed list. Don’t get frightened when you read the curses, but rejoice because Christ has redeemed you from every single one of them, including those curses of sicknesses!
Are you stricken with tuberculosis, fever or inflammation? (Deuteronomy 28:22) Christ has redeemed you from every one of these conditions!
Do you have painful boils, tumors or an itch which doctors say cannot be healed? (Deuteronomy 28:27) Christ has redeemed you from every one of these conditions!
Perhaps yours is a serious and prolonged sickness. (Deuteronomy 28:59) It doesn’t matter. Christ has redeemed you from every prolonged sickness!
“Well, Pastor Prince, you have covered tuberculosis, fever, itch… but what about my disease? It is not covered in Deuteronomy 28. Did Jesus forget my disease?”
No, His work is perfect! Look at Deuteronomy 28:61: “Also every sickness and every plague, which is not written in this Book of the Law, will the Lord bring upon you until you are destroyed.” That covers everything. So if Christ has redeemed you from this curse, then He has redeemed you from every type of sickness! I don’t care what new type of sickness the world discovers because Christ has redeemed us from every type of sickness!
Now, if you have a particular sickness, say, “This (name the sickness) is part of the curse of the law. But Galatians 3:13 says that Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law. Therefore, I have been redeemed from (name the sickness)!” Believe and confess that every day, and as surely as Jesus took every curse of sickness, your healing will break forth!

How Do You See God?
Oh so I just made a blog about this last night before I dozed off.
Indeed,
...God is confirming His words. Wooohooo!!
Thank you Ps Joseph Prince!
Yes, I'm becoming like the Centurion.
You should too.
It makes a lot of difference!
Be like the Centurion!
Enjoy today's powerful devotional my friend.
It's Fridaaaaaaay!!!
------
How Do You See God?
Luke 7:9
9When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”
The way you see Jesus, the revelation that you have of Him, will not affect God’s acceptance of you. But it will affect your acceptance of what God has for you. It will affect how you receive from Him.
Consider the Roman centurion who told Jesus, “You don’t have to come to my house. Just speak the word and my servant at home will be healed.” (Luke 7:6–7) Compare him with Jairus, the ruler of a synagogue, who told Jesus, “My daughter is dying. Please come to my house and lay Your hands on her, and she shall live.” (Mark 5:22–23)
Do you know that Jesus does not have to go to your house to heal you? So why did Jesus follow Jairus to his house? Jesus had to come down to Jairus’ level of faith. Jairus believed that his daughter could be healed, but only if Jesus came and laid His hands on her.
The centurion was different. He said, “Lord, You don’t have to come to my house. I know who You are.” This centurion believed that Jesus did not have to come to his house for his servant to be healed. He believed that Jesus only needed to speak the word. He said to Jesus, “Just speak the word and my servant at home will be healed.”
Do you know who Jesus is? The centurion had a greater understanding of who Jesus is than Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, and he wasn’t even a Jew!
Jesus asked his disciples, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” (Mark 4:40) He even remarked, “O you of little faith.” (Matthew 6:30) But to the woman whose daughter was demon-possessed, He said, “O woman, great is your faith!” (Matthew 15:28) And to the centurion, He declared, “I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”
My desire is for you to have an accurate understanding of who Jesus is because when your revelation of Jesus is big, you will know what has been freely given to you. And when you know what is yours in Christ Jesus, you will be rich in all things!

How Do You See God?
Luke 7:9
9When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”
The way you see Jesus, the revelation that you have of Him, will not affect God’s acceptance of you. But it will affect your acceptance of what God has for you. It will affect how you receive from Him.
Consider the Roman centurion who told Jesus, “You don’t have to come to my house. Just speak the word and my servant at home will be healed.” (Luke 7:6–7) Compare him with Jairus, the ruler of a synagogue, who told Jesus, “My daughter is dying. Please come to my house and lay Your hands on her, and she shall live.” (Mark 5:22–23)
Do you know that Jesus does not have to go to your house to heal you? So why did Jesus follow Jairus to his house? Jesus had to come down to Jairus’ level of faith. Jairus believed that his daughter could be healed, but only if Jesus came and laid His hands on her.
The centurion was different. He said, “Lord, You don’t have to come to my house. I know who You are.” This centurion believed that Jesus did not have to come to his house for his servant to be healed. He believed that Jesus only needed to speak the word. He said to Jesus, “Just speak the word and my servant at home will be healed.”
Do you know who Jesus is? The centurion had a greater understanding of who Jesus is than Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, and he wasn’t even a Jew!
Jesus asked his disciples, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” (Mark 4:40) He even remarked, “O you of little faith.” (Matthew 6:30) But to the woman whose daughter was demon-possessed, He said, “O woman, great is your faith!” (Matthew 15:28) And to the centurion, He declared, “I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”
My desire is for you to have an accurate understanding of who Jesus is because when your revelation of Jesus is big, you will know what has been freely given to you. And when you know what is yours in Christ Jesus, you will be rich in all things!

How well do you know God?
Ok.
So I have talked to my Boss today and we have negotiated.
The company's business isn't good these past few months and have decided to cutdown on manpower..
I have suggested she could deduct my salary and then maybe I could just come to work like three times a week on weekdays so I could find a partime job while I'm out of the office.
She agreed.
This way, we are helping each other, right?
But then
Ouuuuchhh!!!
Yes.
Events such as these are heartbreaking, frustrating or depressing.
Questions could go running around in your troubled mind asking,
"oh no what am I suppose to do now?"
Or
" where am I going???"
"Would I still be able to find a new job now that I'm middle-aged??"
Huhuhuh!
"I am such a loser! " why oh why oh Lord??"
Stop!!!
This will happen to a person
who:
First..
..without Christ ....people without Christ depend on their own efforts for their success.
So when something unexpected happen and their efforts fail, they're left with no one else to blame but themselves. Sometimes, they could blame God a little.
That's where frustrations come in.
Second.
It happens to some Christians too.
You know why?
Because of lack of knowledge!
After they learned the truth that they're on a dead end and everything seems not working as cool as it should be...they will start to wonder...and ask ...
"why is this happening to me God?? What have I done wrong to deserve this? I don't feel that you love me at all!"
Blah blah blah!
Hosea 4:6 says,
"my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge!"
Me?
You might wana ask me how did I react?
I shall tell you...
While I was talking to my boss,
Deep inside I was smiling...
Because I knew at that moment God is working behind the scenes.
Man, I had Peace. It was the best and most exciting time of my life.
Although I could hear the devil screaming right in front of my face calling me, "Loseeeeeer!! Look at you. You said you are a Christian and look whats happening to you?? Don't you get it??"
But no. The Peace that dwelt in me this morning was so much more.
Yeah that Peace in that verse.
Indeed, it's unexplainable!!
I knew right there and then that my Abba, Father is busy preparing me for my next job.
Wooohooo!!
And He keeps telling me,
"Be not afraid... I shall never leave you my Beloved. I am your Provider."
Hear Him again...
Yes. I know my Abba, Father so well !
I know that He will never leave me!
And with that assurance ,
I can only REST...and just
thank and praise Him
FOREVER...
Halleluyaaaah!!!
Mmmmmm......
What about you?
How well do you know our Father?

‘I Will Be Your God
‘I Will Be Your God’
Hebrews 8:10
10 … and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
When God says, “I will be your God,” that is a declaration that He will work miracles in your life. So if it is a miracle you need, it is a miracle you will get!
If there is a huge sea blocking the way to your blessing and God says, “I will be your God,” it means that He will open the sea for you so that you can receive your blessing.
If you are poor and God says, “I will be your God,” it means that you will be well-provided for. Since God fed nearly three million Israelites in the wilderness every single day for 40 years, you can be sure that God will provide for you too.
If you are sick and God says, “I will be your God,” it means that He is going to be “the Lord who heals you” (Exodus 15:26), and you will be healthy.
If you have incurred a huge debt and God says, “I will be your God,” it means that He will bring about a supernatural cancellation of your debt.
But not only did God say, “I will be their God,” He also said, “they shall be My people”.
To be God’s people means to be the protected ones. Not all on earth are God’s people — only we who are redeemed by the blood of Christ. During times of uncertainties, God says to you, “You shall be My people.” This means that you are protected from all pestilences, plagues, attacks and destruction.
Even when you hear people say that the economic crisis is coming, God says to you, “You shall be My people.” This means that you don’t have to worry or be anxious. The crisis will not affect you. Regardless of the situation in the world, you are protected and you will walk in the blessings of God.
God’s power comes into every challenge you face when He says to you, “I will be your God and you shall be My people.” You will experience the supernatural life. Your part is to believe what He declares and act like it is so!

Who is your fave Superhero?
Who is your fave Superhero?
Yes I wana know who is your fave superhero?
Batman?
Catwoman?
Me?
It's Superman!!
While I was in college and watched a Superman movie, there was this part where Superman was so busy saving lives. I think it was the ending part.
He went to and fro, saving a couple who fell down from a bridge then he went back again to a very secluded place to save a bus which was hanging on a cliff. It was very exciting moments because he needed to be at the right place at the right time to save them all. And hoo boy he was really fast.
At the back of my mind, series of thoughts engulfed me...
what if in real life this could happen. What if Superman exists and will be saving people not only from the US but across the globe as well.
What if he really can keep it and be on time just when people need him most?
It's great and yeah
woow! He's gona be sooooo busy then!
As I thought at that moment, something poked me again...
Asling myself, "what if this movie house that I'm sitting at has a bomb ticking and gona explode? Will he come rescue me and all of us here? On TIME???"
Mmmm... Deep thought.
Of course, let's wake up. It's just a movie.
And you are watching it from a scriptwriter or director's point of view.
Yes. 90% of the reality is there.
It's really telling us that the world isn't safe to live in.( Even 20years ago .)
No matter where you are. Whether you are in your church preaching, at home sleeping, having that haircut, eating or having an awesome holiday.
Nowhere is safe.
Which made me changed my hero to the Hero of all Heroes!
It's Jesus!!!
I tell you....with JESUS I am safe.
You know why?
Because He is my Protector.
And He gave me Psalm 91 as His aassurance.
Read on..
"Psalm91
He who dwells in the shelter of the
Most High will rest in the shadow
Of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge
and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.
Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you will find refuge;
His faihtfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of the night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
Nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
Nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side ,
Ten thousand at your right hand,
But it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes
And see the punishment of the wicked.
If you make the Most High your dwelling--
Even the Lord, who is my refuge-
Then no harm will befall you,
No disaster will come near your tent.
For He will command His angels concerning you to guard
You in all your ways.
They will lift you up in their hands,
So that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
With long life I shall satisfy Him..."
Now I can live freely.
No more fears about the terrorists, bombings, earthquakes, deadly viruses, H1N1, tsunamis or the world will collide whatsoever.
And hey, we don't just need physical saving,..
We also need internal saving like healing..freeing us from migraines,
stress, worries, fever, cough, heartaches, frustrations, depressions etc..
Jesus can do all that!
I believe...
because He is with me and I'm with Him,
He will surely put me at the right
place at the right time.
Yep. yep. yep!
That's my Father from above.
And that's His job.
Because I'm His Beloved
He is gona protect me 24/7
for the rest of my life.
Awesome right?
This is a Victorious life!
Woooohooooooo!!!
My Daily Verse
“who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done
but because of his own purpose and grace.
This Grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,” (2 Timothy 1:9)
YESSSSS, YESSSSSSSSSSS, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
GRACE ...GRACE....GRACE....
THANK YOU ABBA!!!!!
God knows us so well! He has given us Grace so everytime we fail
His love will come running to lift us up!
HALLELUYAAAAH!!!
but because of his own purpose and grace.

God knows us so well! He has given us Grace so everytime we fail

HALLELUYAAAAH!!!
If you are reading this...
How would you feel?
Me?
I say, thank you Jesus!!!!
Halleluyaaaaaaah!!!
A time will come that you will feel you need salvation.
When it hits on you, don't look anywhere else.
Stop complaining!
Stop blaming the government or anyone !
Just close your eyes and say,
"Jesus, whoever you are , real or not.. if I really do need to save my a**... just do it ! And show me the way!"
If you can take a look back at the verse, it says "OFFERS" which means
your salvation depends on you. You can take the offer or leave it. NO OBLIGATIONS whatsoever.
What an awesome God!!
He loves us so much that He give us our own freewill to even go to hell.
Your choice!
I won't even convince you to believe for I know how stubborn humans are!
You just need to feel it in your heart.
Just talk to Him.
He is real even when most the times He is not.

Jesus is my Shield!
I thought of writing this blog while I'm waiting for my friend here in Starbucks.
I have sketched this lil artwork of mine using iNapkin from my iphone.
Let me describe it.
As you can see there's a human being inside in a somewhat called "shield".
Yes. That's a shield. Hahah!
It's a shield coming from above. From my Abba, Father.
And yes, the human being is me.
Because I believe in Jesus.
I am not only saved but got other benefits as well. Like an insurance.. I am protected, healed , blessed and guided.
The ground that I'm standing at is a solid ground because it's built in a foundation of Jesus' Truth.
That makes me stable. No matter what happens around me
I'm unshakeable! Oh yeeeah!!!
Those arrows you are seeing are from the world which are trying to attack me. They come from the devil. They are the so-called frustrations, sorrows, boredom, sicknesses, tsunamis, earthquakes , death and hooh boy, they really want bring me down.
But so sorry.
Like I said, because I am in Jesus and Jesus is in me,
They shall not affect me!
Wooooow!!!
Halleluyaaah!
Wana join me in the Shield??
That's all for now.
Coffee time!:)

Come As You Are And Receive
Few years ago, I was paistakingly trying to accept Jesus as my Savior, I was talked to receive Jesus and then
after that, ministry leaders would tell me to attend Bible study or be in a caregroup to keep me "right" and to avoid evil stuffs.
They would tell me to read the Bible everyday, volunteer,do this, do that, etc.
Of course, in my own lost mind, I followed what they told me. Because in my heart, I knew I believe in God.
But the sad part is it made me do stuffs like pretending that I was a real nice person in front of everybody, extra kind and veeeery patient towards people when inside I was ready to explode!
I tell you, my being so called "Christian" wanabe only lasted for a week.
I got tired of it all. And told God these words, " Hey God! I could no longer impress you so I'm leaving! I bet you're not happy with me too. You have such high standards and you're just like everybody else. You want so much from me when I have nothing to give to you.. So goodbye!"
Of course, maybe God knew what's really inside my heart eventhough I've spoken those harsh words to Him because
now I'm still stuck with Him..
Fastforward to this day.
Yes, I'm here!
I've realised for years, I was seeing God differently because of some decieving teachings!
Deceiving teachings that tell you God is mad at you because of your sins, for breaking the 10commandments.. For being like this and like that. God is mad at the world that's why there are tsunamis, eartquakes you must repent!!Etc!
Hey stop! Waking up each day is already a battle. And then you open up your eyes and see these religious freaks trying to eat you alive! What a life! Right?
My friend, when you see any of these kind of preachers don't commit.
Pray!
And ask God to lead you somewhere else.
He will. Thats for sure.
Because He loves you.
Let me tell you this truth.
Ready?
Here goes....
My friend,
you no longer need to do anything to impress God.
Because He was already impressed by what Jesus did on the cross.
The only thing that we need to do is to RECEIVE.
Yes. Just RECEIVE and let Him to His job.
This is the only way to live a Victorious life.
Enjoy today's Joseph Prince' Daily Devotional..
I was blessed. I'm sure you will be too.
Happy Monday!:)
"Come As You Are And Receive"
Matthew 15:27
27And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
Come as you are to the Lord with your need, and lean on His unfailing and unconditional love for you. You don’t have to pretend to be more than what you are to receive the blessing you need from God. You don’t have to pretend to be someone else to appear more deserving to receive from God.
A Canaanite woman desperately seeking healing for her demon-possessed daughter came to Jesus. (Matthew 15:22–28) Knowing that He healed and did miracles among the Jews, she pretended to be a Jew, calling out, “O Lord, Son of David!” (Only the Jews addressed Jesus as the “Son of David”.) Jesus did not answer her. His silence made her drop her pretense and cry out, “Lord, help me!”
Only when her pretenses had melted away did she see the grace of God extended to her. Jesus made a way for her to receive her miracle even though it was not yet time for the Gentiles to receive His blessings. He told her, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”
Many people might be offended at being called a “dog”. Actually, the Greek word used here by Jesus means “puppy”, and is thus an affectionate rather than offensive term. So this woman was not offended. In fact, she knew then that she could receive healing for her daughter because even puppies get to eat what falls from their masters’ table.
She saw that the crumbs under the Master’s table were enough for a Gentile, a “little dog”, like herself. You must understand that the Jews then considered Gentiles dogs. But what Jesus was trying to say was that He was called to the Jews first, not the Gentiles. Yet, He loved this Gentile woman and her daughter enough to provide a “loophole” for them to receive their miracle.
So when the Canaanite woman took her place by dropping the title “Son of David” and just leaned on Jesus’ compassion for her, her daughter was healed from that very hour.
If God was willing to extend His grace to a Gentile, how much more you, His beloved child! You do not need to depend on pretensions to receive a miracle from Him. Come as you are and lean on His grace. If He has delivered Jesus up for us, “how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things”? (Romans 8:32)

"Come As You Are And Receive"
Matthew 15:27
27And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
Come as you are to the Lord with your need, and lean on His unfailing and unconditional love for you. You don’t have to pretend to be more than what you are to receive the blessing you need from God. You don’t have to pretend to be someone else to appear more deserving to receive from God.
A Canaanite woman desperately seeking healing for her demon-possessed daughter came to Jesus. (Matthew 15:22–28) Knowing that He healed and did miracles among the Jews, she pretended to be a Jew, calling out, “O Lord, Son of David!” (Only the Jews addressed Jesus as the “Son of David”.) Jesus did not answer her. His silence made her drop her pretense and cry out, “Lord, help me!”
Only when her pretenses had melted away did she see the grace of God extended to her. Jesus made a way for her to receive her miracle even though it was not yet time for the Gentiles to receive His blessings. He told her, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”
Many people might be offended at being called a “dog”. Actually, the Greek word used here by Jesus means “puppy”, and is thus an affectionate rather than offensive term. So this woman was not offended. In fact, she knew then that she could receive healing for her daughter because even puppies get to eat what falls from their masters’ table.
She saw that the crumbs under the Master’s table were enough for a Gentile, a “little dog”, like herself. You must understand that the Jews then considered Gentiles dogs. But what Jesus was trying to say was that He was called to the Jews first, not the Gentiles. Yet, He loved this Gentile woman and her daughter enough to provide a “loophole” for them to receive their miracle.
So when the Canaanite woman took her place by dropping the title “Son of David” and just leaned on Jesus’ compassion for her, her daughter was healed from that very hour.
If God was willing to extend His grace to a Gentile, how much more you, His beloved child! You do not need to depend on pretensions to receive a miracle from Him. Come as you are and lean on His grace. If He has delivered Jesus up for us, “how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things”? (Romans 8:32)

The Antidote To Fear
The Antidote To Fear
1 John 4:18
18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear…
Experts tell us that babies have two natural fears: the fear of falling and the fear of loud noises. A study on fear was conducted on 500 adults of varying ages, backgrounds and lifestyles. The results showed that they shared some 7,000 different fears. This means that they must have learnt 6,998 fears since they were born. That is a lot of fears!
Actually, our bodies are designed for faith. Fear was foreign to man until Adam sinned against God. For the first time, Adam knew fear, and he hid from God and said, “I heard Your voice… I was afraid… I hid myself.” (Genesis 3:10)
Since then, man has been living in the realm of fear — fear of the future, fear of what others might say, fear of diseases, fear of flying… Actually, every fear is born out of the feeling of being cut off from God. If you think that God is still mad at you, that He is out to punish you, how can you have faith that everything will be all right? How can you have faith for your miracle?
But I have good news for you. There is a sure antidote to fear. The apostle John says that “perfect love casts out fear”. When you know that God so loves you that He gave His Son to take your beating so that you can take His blessings, you will stop fearing.
God so loves you that at the cross, Jesus was rejected so that you could become God’s beloved. It was not the nails that kept Jesus on the cross. It was His love for you. And if God did not withhold Jesus, why do you think that He will withhold healing, finances or a blessed marriage from you? (Romans 8:32)
Today, when you hear His voice, you will hear Him say, “You are My beloved child, in you I am well pleased.” And you don’t have to hide but you can run to Him without fear because He is not out to punish you. He is out to protect, prosper and provide for you, so fear not!

Life is full of what??
I said,
"Do not judge God's love for you based on your circumstance. For you will never get far.
Being a Christian is not like a Superman cloth that once you wear it , you will become powerful.
No. No. No.
Christianity is just the beginning of a new life.
The more you experience hardships and confusions the deeper should your seeking for the Truth and understanding becomes.
As a Believer, you are not mean
to absorb the burdens as you grow. You only need to step aside while it shakes you from head to toe, believing that Jesus is with you. And when you realised that Jesus is with you,
The storm will stop.
When this happens,
knowing the intimate TRUTH
shall set you free!

My Daily Verse
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9)
