Flipping the Switch

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
—Psalm 118:1

When you thank Me for the difficult things in your life, suddenly they are no longer as difficult. How this works is a mystery.

But if you will give Me thanks—even for the things that make you sad or upset—then I will give you Joy. And you can have that Joy no matter what is happening.

For those who don’t know Me well, thanking Me for heartaches and hardships seems impossible—even silly. But if you step out in faith and thank Me, you will be blessed. You may still be in the same yucky situation, but it will be as if someone flipped on the light switch in a dark room. You’ll see things in the Light of My Presence—from My point of view—and realize that you aren’t alone. My Presence will make your troubles not so troublesome.

Love,
Jesus

The Best Gifts Ever (JesusCallingForKids iphone/ipad app)

The Best Gifts Ever

Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
—Luke 24:36

Think about the best gift you’ve ever gotten: that new computer, the cool video game, the bike you kept seeing in the store. They’re all nice gifts.

But I have much better gifts for you. Gifts of supernatural proportions! They are My Presence and My Peace. These gifts never get holes in them. They never need new batteries. And they never go out of style.

They also can’t be purchased at the local store or off the Internet. There is only one way to get these gifts. And that is to come to Me with a thankful, trusting heart.

I created you to glorify Me. This means you can never spend too much time praising and thanking Me. Praising Me says you know that I am God and you trust My control over your life. Thanking Me opens your heart to receive My Presence and My Peace—the richest, most awesome gifts of all.

How to believe in Jesus

It is not easy to believe in Jesus because you have not seen Him in person yet. But I tell you,
You can see Him in the Bible.

In the Bible, He is alive, conversing with you and telling all His promises to you.

You don't need to feel Him.
You just need to look through His words.

Just talk to Him through your heart.
...and faith...effortlessly will fill you in.

Yes. That easy.

In Jesus, you don't need to struggle.

You just need to rest.

Amen.

Instagram sooooo mean???

I don't know what went wrong with my @Jesusdailyphoto instagram account that suddenly without warning or notification instagram disabled that account.

That account got 13,000 Jesus followers already and have posted my most favorite ,inspiring and beautiful photos not only about Jesus but reality of our daily lives as well.

I have poured my deepest thoughts in there.

Tsk. So sad. Just because it's free and public some social network giant could just take it away like that.

Yes. They may have the power to do so. Let them be.

As for me, I still have this blog
and I think, it's better to stick in here.

It's safer to stick in here.

So from now on,
I'm gonna slowly repost my @Jesusdailyphotos in here.

I might have to start from scratch but no worries. It's all for Jesus anyway!

And...surely..

Jesus.... His spirit in me will guide me.

I believe there are always new things to share about.
I am so blessed by them.

:)

Still, I'm hoping that instagram will return me back that account.
Because I know a lot of believers needed it. Praying...and talking to Jesus now.


Jesus, I give it all up to you.

Think you got a job to do in here.

Amen.

Focus On Jesus

A Better Way

In this world you will have trouble.
But be brave! I have defeated the world!

—John 16:33 (ICB)

You tend to approach problems as if you were going into battle. The problem becomes the focus of your thoughts. Your mind and body tense up as you prepare to fight. It’s the ultimate battle: “You versus The Problem.” And if you don’t win a total victory right away, you feel defeated.

There is a better way. It doesn’t have to be a winner-takes-all fight. When a problem starts to take over your thoughts, talk to Me about it. Step back and get some space between you and your trouble. Let Me show you things from My point of view. You’ll probably find that it’s not really such a big deal.

There will always be trouble to face in this world. But what matters is that you always have Me on your side. When you remember that I’m the all-time Champion who defeated the world, big things get cut down to their real size. You’ll be able to see that your problems aren’t so serious after all.

What's On Your Mind?

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
Philippians 4:8

"What’s On Your Mind?"


It takes a positive thought to replace a negative one. You cannot eradicate negative thoughts just but using your willpower. God’s Word tells us, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6–7).

If you read on, it also says, “…whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”

So beloved, replace your thoughts of worry with thoughts of His pure, immeasurable and unconditional love for you. Turn your cares into prayers by casting all your cares to Him as you meditate on how He truly cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Don’t hold on to your worries any longer. Let go and let God be the Father of favor, wisdom and supply that He wants to be to you. Keep meditating on His promises for you in His Word. Thank Him that because of Jesus, you have a blood-bought right to have a mind free of worries and stress today!

Do Not Worry. Really.

Are you feeling sick?
Are you financially troubled?
Are you depressed?

Don't worry.
We all go through all that.

The BEST thing you can do is
to not worry about it and instead,
give it all to God.

You might tell me.
"It's easy for you to say cuz you are not in my situation. "

I say, yes.
Because it's easier not to worry.

Just try this. Stop thinking about your problem for awhile.

Read a simple verse in the Bible.
Like Psalm23 before you sleep.

Listen to praise music like that of the Hillsong, Kari Jobe, Darlene Zschech, BoB Fitts or Jesus Culture.

Just try.

And sleep well.

Claim Your Restoration! by Joseph Prince

Claim Your Restoration! by Joseph Prince

Acts 3:20–21
20 … that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, 21whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things...

As a believer, you have a right to expect restoration of the things that the devil has stolen from you. It may be your health, marriage or finances, but payback time is definitely coming!

Acts 3:20–21 tells us that before Jesus comes back for His church, we will experience “the times of restoration of all things”. What a hope that gives us, knowing that God will restore to us all things before Jesus returns!

My friend, if the devil is attacking you in any area, tell God, “Father, I will not allow the devil to rob me of my health, marriage, children or finances. These blessings are blood-bought and paid for by Your Son!” Claim your restoration in Christ and heaven will hear you.

There will be such times of restoration of all things to the body of Christ that His people will only get better, stronger, healthier, and more prosperous and glorious! When God restores, even under the old covenant, His people always received much more than what they had originally lost, in terms of quality and/or quantity. How much more will our restoration be under the new covenant because of the shed blood of the Lamb of God!

A divorcee with a teenage son came to our church and accepted the Lord in May 2003. She began to pray for the restoration of her marriage and the reunion of her family. She knew that the chances of this happening were close to zero since she had not met nor spoken with her ex-husband since their divorce 10 years ago. She did not even know if he had remarried. But God caused their paths to cross at a wedding at the end of 2003. Today, their relationship is healed, and together with their son, they worship as a family in church.

Even though what happened for that sister may not happen for every divorced person (God can give you a better spouse and marriage), I believe that God wants you to know that your times of restoration are here. Heaven is waiting to hear you stake your claim for restoration!

You Can't Earn My Blessings (Jesus Calling For Kids iphone/ipad app)

You Can’t Earn My Blessings



My cup overflows with blessings.
—Psalm 23:5 (NLT)

This is a time of plenty in your life. Your cup overflows with blessings. Enjoy this time—it is My gift to you.

Don’t feel guilty when everything is going well. Don’t turn away from My blessings because you think you don’t deserve to be so blessed. That is nonsense. The truth is that no one deserves anything from Me. My kingdom is not about earning blessings. And life with Me is not some sort of game in which you earn points to buy prizes. Good behavior doesn’t buy blessings.

Instead of trying to work for My blessings, I want you to receive them thankfully. I give you good gifts because I love to see your joy when you receive them. So open your hands and your heart, and accept My blessings gratefully. This brings Joy to you and to Me!

Jesus

God Daily Loads You With Benefits By Joseph Prince

Do you know that God is blessing you everyday even if you don't feel it?
Pause for awhile and read Joseph Prince' devotional.
The truth that comes with this shall set you free because it has
set me free!

Be bless my friend. You are loved.

Blessed and restful Monday to you.:)


God Daily Loads You With Benefits
By Joseph Prince


Deuteronomy 28:6
6Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

In the Jewish community, the promise, “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out”, refers to being blessed in the affairs of one’s daily life, whether in or outside one’s home.

So here, God is saying that you are blessed in your everyday life. Do you believe it? Do you believe that every day, your family and work life are blessed? Or do you think that you are blessed only during Christmas when you receive your gifts and year-end bonus, or when you get that promotion you have been wanting? Perhaps you think that the blessed life only begins when you meet the man or woman of your dreams!

No, my friend, you are blessed every day and you have God’s Word for it. Psalm 68:19 says, “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation!” And because God’s Word says so, believe that every day of your life is loaded with benefits. Every morning, when you get up, believe that it is a day that the Lord has made, and rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24) Start the day expecting it to be loaded with the benefits that God has prepared just for you.

At night, when it is time to sleep, know that you will be blessed when you get up in the morning because there will be another load of benefits from your heavenly Father, who so loves you unconditionally, waiting for you!

You can’t make your blessings happen. But if you will just believe what God has said in His Word and act like it is so, the blessings will manifest in your life. In fact, God wants to bless you more than you want to be blessed! His Word declares it: “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out… Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation!”

Beloved, believe God’s Word. Believe Him for the blessings and you will find yourself loaded with His daily benefits!

The Lord With You Equals Success by Joseph Prince

The Lord With You Equals Success by Joseph Prince

Genesis 39:2
2The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man…

You may have no qualification, position or wealth — nothing in the natural. But when the Lord is with you, you will end up with everything because He will cause you to be successful.

Joseph had nothing when his Egyptian master Potiphar bought him from the slave market. Yet, even then, it was said of him, “The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man...”

Joseph the slave a successful man? He was a nobody with nothing, not even a shirt on his back, not a dime to his name, no family members with him and no friends to turn to. All he had was the presence of the Lord. But it was precisely because of this that he was successful wherever he was. He eventually became the most powerful man in Egypt, second only to Pharaoh, who set him over all the land of Egypt. Joseph was given power, authority and riches (Genesis 41:40–44), all because the Lord was with him.

A junior college student worshiping in our church experienced good success in his examination results for the same reason. The first to admit that he was just an average student, he obtained his first ever straight As for all his subjects when he sat for the Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education (Advanced Level) Examination simply believing that he would be successful because the Lord was with him!

Another church member, who was a fresh university graduate, believed that because the Lord was with her, she would be successful in the workforce. Even though she had no work experience and was faced with a gloomy job market, she succeeded in getting her first job in a short period of time and which gave her a salary beyond her expectations. Then, in spite of a directive from the parent company to freeze the wages of all employees, she received a pay increment as well as a company scholarship for further education!

Beloved, it does not matter if you are a nobody with nothing in the natural. When the Lord is with you, you will end up with everything because He will empower you to succeed, prosper and live the abundant life. Indeed, you will end up enjoying His favor, goodness and grace!

That Helpless Feeling

"That Helpless Feeling"

You are kind, Lord, so good and merciful.
You protect ordinary people, and when I was helpless, you saved me and treated me so kindly that I don’t need to worry anymore.

—Psalm 116:5–7 (CEV)

The world tells you that feeling helpless is a bad thing. But I tell you it is okay to feel helpless. It doesn’t make Me want to avoid you; it makes Me want to take care of you even more—and supply you with more of My Power.

Don’t beat yourself up because you need help. Instead, come to Me with all your neediness. I welcome you and your needs, and the Light of My Love will comfort you. Just give your heart to Me. Let Me fill it up with trust.

If your heart is full of trust, you won’t whine or rebel when the going gets rough. Instead, you will gather up enough courage to thank Me—even during hard times. This is the kind of trust that pleases Me. And I will reward you with My Strength.

Love,
Jesus
