Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled
We are in trouble!
But with Jesus, no matter what happens, we will have that peace.
Yeah!
You will have that PEACE as long as you believe.
I got tired of being fearful myself.
For years , I was in bondage with worries, depressions, fears
and frustrations.
But when Jesus redeemed me from it all, it was probably the best moments of my life.
Fighting to have that PEACE in us to survive in this world is a MUST!
You can never find it on drugs, pills or tranquilizers.
Only Jesus can.
Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled
John 14:27
27Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you… Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
The night before Jesus died, He gave His peace to His disciples — “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you…” This peace was not just for His disciples, but also for us today. We have His peace.
The moment you believe in Jesus Christ, He who is the Prince of Peace comes to live inside you. And when the Prince of Peace resides in you, every blessing that you will ever need pertaining to your soundness and wholeness is already inside you.
“Pastor Prince, if this is true, then why do I still see problems in my health, finances, family and relationships?”
The answer is a troubled heart. That is why after Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you,” He said, “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
A troubled and fearful heart works like fingers that clamp down hard on a water hose. The supply of water is flowing from the tap, but little or nothing is coming out at the other end of the hose. God’s ever-present supply of blessings toward you is like the water flowing freely from the tap. But you don’t see the blessings when you allow your heart to be gripped by worry or fear.
So when fearful, anxious thoughts come, remind yourself of Jesus’ words: “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Even when things appear to get worse, say, “Lord, I refuse to worry about this. In the midst of all this, I see the finished work of Christ. He said, ‘It is finished!’ So my child’s healing is accomplished. My marriage is blessed. My debts are cleared. I will let not my heart be troubled by these things.”
Beloved, I cannot “let not” for you. Your family and friends cannot “let not” for you. Only you can “let not your heart be troubled”. So guard your heart from being troubled. You don’t have to guard your career, reputation, children or even health. When you guard your heart, God will guard everything else for you!

The Secret of Deliverence From Self
I worry too much because I DON'T want to end up somewhere else.
or I WANT to have a good future.
I worried of what other people think of me.
That I should cater to what they expect of me.
Small things like, if I found out that my friends were having a good fun without me.
I would start to feel so left out and rejected.
I shy away from people whom I thought had high standards or have lotsa money
because I DIDN'T WANT to feel so inferior.
Yeah. for years. I was in that prison.
But now, JESUS came to my rescue.
JESUS has set me free!
Now, I don't care what others would think of me,
If you got that Ferrari or lambhorghinis,
Hey, I got Jesus! And with Jesus , I have everything!
I say,
"I am now made perfect because of what Jesus has done on the cross.
Now I see my worth. I am soooo worthy that Jesus had to die for me to save me!
Soo amazing!"
Listening to my fave sermon now from Ps Joseph Prince who helped me a lot in changing my life and my thoughts on God. I want to share it to you too.
Be bless!

I Cannot Be Shaken
I don't know how it happens but surely the spirit
is leading me.
It's true. I have my own free choice.
In fact, I have already abused it for so many years only to lead me in a lost world and a life full of lies.
But now, as the holy spirit guides me in whatever circumstances that come my way, I am safe.
Everything about me. My thoughts, decisions, right or wrong is filtered.
Jesus has become my filter.
He has become my rock in which I stand.
Life's journey may have inconsistencies and may rock my world but

When Some Things Get So Irritating
Wednesday, July 15, 2009
Just A Groan Will Reach God’s Throne
Just A Groan Will Reach God’s Throne
Romans 8:26
26Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Once, when my father was hospitalized, I remember driving as fast as I could to the hospital to see him because his condition was deteriorating rapidly. I was just sobbing in my car on the way there. I didn’t know what to pray. So I just cried and prayed in tongues, groaning in my spirit.
I believe that at that very low point, the Holy Spirit was helping me in my weaknesses — “For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered”.
The events that soon unfolded in the hospital convinced me that just a groan or sigh will reach the throne of our Abba Father.
I managed to reach the hospital just in time to clasp my father’s hand before he was wheeled in for surgery. The surgeons came out of the operating theatre some time later to inform my mother that they didn’t need to do anything after they had opened him up because they discovered that “surgery” had already been done on him!
Surprised, my mother answered, “He has never been operated on. I am his wife. I should know.” Not convinced, the surgeons told my father when he regained consciousness, “We opened you up and found that surgery had already been done. Whoever did it did a perfect work.”
Equally surprised, my dad told them, “I have never had surgery done on me.”
“No, you have!” the surgeons insisted.
As my parents and the doctors continued arguing, I found myself thinking, “My goodness, I didn’t even pray for a miracle on my way to the hospital. Yet, a miracle has just happened!”
My friend, when we who are God’s children groan as we pray in the Spirit, the Holy Spirit makes intercession for us with groanings which will reach the throne of our Abba Father, and cause Him to move powerfully on our behalf!

I Keep Praising My Abba, Father No Matter What
Thanking God At All Times
Hebrews 13:15
15Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.
Lifting up your hands and thanking God is spontaneous and easy when you have just received a wonderful blessing: “God, I can’t thank You enough for this miracle!”
“Thank You Father, for answering my prayer!”
“Father, thank You for the windfall!”
Perhaps you came close to being in a fatal accident, but God plucked you out of danger just in time. Or your grandmother, an unbeliever for many years, finally received Jesus as her Savior and got healed of a long-term disease.
But there are times when you don’t feel like lifting up your hands to thank and praise God, yet you do it. Perhaps you feel very discouraged lately. Perhaps everything is going wrong for you and you feel like your life is in a mess. You can’t hold back the tears. Yet, you make a conscious decision to lift your hands and thank God for being in the situation with you. You open your mouth and begin to praise Him even though you really don’t feel like doing it.
In the midst of the trial that you are going through, you praise Him that He is your righteousness in spite of all the mistakes you have made. You thank Him that He is your Prince of Peace, and that His peace will arise in you and still the storms in your life.
My friend, God sees and appreciates such times when, despite feeling so discouraged, you offer a freewill thanksgiving offering to Him. In fact, your thanksgiving during such times is more highly prized by Him than your thanksgiving during those times when you are feeling joyful because you have just been blessed.
And when you choose to thank Him for His unfailing love, and His faithfulness to deliver, protect and provide for you even when you don’t see the blessings yet, before long, you will find yourself experiencing and enjoying the blessings! So lift your hands and praise the Lord, for He is good, and His mercy endures forever! (Psalm 106:1)

I'd still worship Him
and reminding me of how I sinful I am.
Yes. too bad. Someway or another,
I may have failed Him because I stumbled,
I got hurt,
I got mad,
I thought unjustly of others
I was pissed.
I lost my temper.
and I somehow, yes..I failed big time.
Funny thing is, this made me more conscious of Jesus' love for me,
thanking Him even more..
Thinking where would I be now if He didn't come to save me?
I thank God every moment of my life for sending His Son, Jesus
so I can be saved.
For now, no matter I do..
or no matter I would feel how unworthy I would become, I'd still declare.
"I am the righteousness of God in Christ!"
So many preachers today preachers a lot of scary things.
You will know that it's scary because it stresses you out.
I'd say, "Ruuuun!"
Just listen to what you heart needs to say...
I know He will guide you..because He is in you.
Let's stand in worship to our Lord and maker!

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!

Why God Exist? ( Best Explanation Ever)
This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering
that I have seen:
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:
"I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out
in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children?
If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.
I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he
didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.
Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with
long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and
unkempt.
The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again
and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.
"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because
if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and
untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not
come to me."
"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES
exist!
That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him
for help. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
If you think God exists, send this to other people---
If you think God does not exist, delete it!
BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS!!!!!! !

The Cross
A young man was at the end of his rope, seeing no way out, he dropped to his knees in prayer
"Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy a cross to bear."
The Lord replied, "My son, if you can't bear its weight, just place your cross inside this room.
Then, open that other door and pick out any cross you wish."
The man was filled with relief and said, "Thank you Lord," and he did as he was told.
Upon entering the other room, he saw many crosses; some so large the tops were not visible. Then, he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall.
"I'd like that one, Lord," he whispered. The Lord replied, "My son, that is the cross you just brought in."
When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more fortunate than you imagined.
YOUR CROSS
Whatever your cross
Whatever your pain
There will always be sunshine
After the rain
Perhaps you may stumble
Perhaps even fall
But God's always there
To help you through it all
Sad, and thought-provoking...
May God give you the strength and courage to pass this along to everyone on your email buddy list....
I JUST DID!

SATAN'S MEETING: (Read even if you're busy)
In his opening address he said,
"We can't keep Christians from going to church."
"We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth."
"We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their saviour."
"Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken."
"So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ.."
"This is what I want you to do," said the devil:
"Distract them from gaining hold of their Saviour and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!"
"How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.
"Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered..
"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow."
"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles."
"Keep them from spending time with their children."
"As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!"
"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice."
"Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive." To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music constantly."
"This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ."
"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers."
"Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day."
"Invade their driving moments with billboards."
"Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products, services and false hopes.."
"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives. "
"Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night."
"Give them headaches too! "
"If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere."
"That will fragment their families quickly!"
"Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas."
"Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death."
"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive."
"Have them return from their recreation exhausted."
"Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead."
"Keep them busy, busy, busy!"
"And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences. "
"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Jesus."
"Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause."
"It will work!"
"It will work!"
It was quite a plan!
The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and there.
Having little time for their God or their families.
Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives.
I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes?
You be the judge!!!!!
Does "BUSY" mean:
B-eing
U-nder
S-atan's
Y-oke?
Please pass this on, if you aren't too BUSY!
I don't think I know 10 people who would admit they love Jesus.
Do You Love Him?
IF YOU LOVE JESUS, PASS THIS ON!!!!!!!

When ego gets a bad rap!
Today, focus on what you like about yourself. The more you know yourself, the more you can do in the world."
--------------
I received this message from a facebook friend and I have nothing against this.
Talk about our ego.
Well, I have learnt that it can do so much .
It can uplift , hurt and confuse us.
Positive or negative ego. It exists.
Look at the last line. The world says,
"Today, focus on what you like about yourself. The more you know yourself, the more you can do in the world."
I can focus on so many things that I like about myself.
Maybe I think I'm sweet, caring, nice, so-good-to-be-true individual
and much more that'll make me feel I'm worth
your time and attention...( But honestly, I'm not.)
But wait! Those lies can make me feel better. So let me have the stage.
But for how long?
an hour? a week?a few seconds?
Unfortunately, I'm not the kind of person who is satisfied in getting
my happiness meter up by depending on my external circumstance or
the things around me.
When I was a kid, getting a new toy was a total happiness for me.
But after few weeks of playing with it, I got bored.
Then I was up into some toy hunting again to satisfy myself.
That cycle continued to live up in my system till I finished college
and started a career.
I was never contented for anything else that came my way.
At the back of my mind, I found it weird.
"Something must be wrong in me", so I thought.
Let's read this again.
"Today, focus on what you like about yourself. The more you know yourself, the more you can do in the world."
Well, I thought I got to know myself well enough
that I ruled out that something was really wrong with me.
So I tried to seek answers from how-to-self-books , personality development
seminars and retreats.
And guess what?
The more I tried to focus on myself and got to know more of me deeply,
the more I got so frustrated and depressed.
How to do something in the world in a state like this?
My emotions were unstable, inconsistent and needed a lot
of reminding to feed on.
I know I can never go so far in this state.
Because the more I focused on myself the more I saw a lot of darkness, failures,
disappointments,sadness and fears not even in me but around me as well.
It was sickening and it felt like I was on my own.
So what did I do?
I changed my mind. and focused on JESUS..
Yeah, just focused on Jesus and nothing else.
How to focus on Jesus?
I listen and read to a lot of good GRACE teachings
and just dive right in to His beauty.
How He wants me to have PEACE that the world can't give.
How He heals and restores my health.
How He comforts me with His songs of praise.
How He protects me from any harm and accidents under His wings.
How I feel so righteous with Him even if I fall and misbehave.
How He stretched His hands out on the cross and sweat out blood to
redeem me from all sicknesses and take me out of poverty.
How He just loves to love me unconditionally.
How He enjoys me getting a lot of energy from Him.
It's amazing!
Woooooow!
Now, I can smile!:)
It's indeed pure beauty. And I feel so light.
He is indeed the Light!
Now you know one of my secrets.
Everytime you fail or feel depress and frustrated,
you have a choice.
You can read self-help books, go to retreats which
I think is just temporary self-gratification
or
you can just focus on JESUS and rest from it all.
Which habit do you like?

Count On God’s Forgiveness
He died because of me and God sees me now spotless and without sin.
Isn't that great?
My failures and wrongdoings will always try to catch up with me.
Point a finger at me, nagging me.
But Jesus' blood covers me.And that's all I have.
I will never ever let the TRUTH be taken away from me.
Because that is only my PEACE.
Yes.
I am just human. I can't help sometimes but misbehave.
If I misbehave?
I just focus on the cross.
If I get so frustrated?
I focus on Jesus sacrifice.
I just keep focusing on JEsus.
You know why?
BEcause He is my PEACE from above all these.
-------
Count On God’s Forgiveness
Hebrews 10:2
2... For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins.
What are you more conscious of today? Your sins or the fact that you have been forgiven? My friend, don’t be conscious of your sins. Be conscious instead of Jesus and His finished work. The Lamb of God has taken away all your sins at the cross, so count on the fact that you are a forgiven child of God!
No matter what has happened or what you have done, God wants you to know that because of His Son’s finished work, He will be merciful to your unrighteousness, and your sins and lawless deeds He will remember no more. (Hebrews 8:12)
That is why you should not be conscious of your sins. In fact, when you are sin-conscious, the devil brings in condemnation, and the more you receive it and condemn yourself, the more you will find yourself unforgiving toward yourself and even others.
I was told by a pastor friend that when a lady, who had cancer on her face, asked for prayer for healing, the Lord revealed to him that it was self-hatred that was keeping her from receiving her healing. She could not forgive herself and was full of self-condemnation.
When she realized her problem, she counted on the fact that God was merciful to her unrighteousness and that she was already forgiven. She received the love of God. Then, right before the pastor’s eyes, her whole face changed — she received her healing that very moment!
Something happens when you believe that you are forgiven. That is why God says to you, “I want you to believe that all your sins I will remember no more. I want you to believe that you are My child enjoying My mercy and that you can always count on My forgiveness.”
Beloved, remember that all your sins have already been paid for by Jesus on the cross. And the more you count on the fact that you have the Father’s forgiveness and that He does not condemn you because of Jesus’ finished work, the more sin and its effects — sickness, hatred, lack and so on — will lose their grip on you. You will find yourself walking in a greater measure of God’s grace and blessings!

Recession Blues
We just had a meeting with our Boss and from what I have seen
in the look of her face, she is so disappointed.
She feels bad about the sales dropping so fast,
the performance of our staffs,etc.
With all these emotions mixed with the recession blues,
there is a possibility that the company will cut down
10% of our salary.
Ooouuuch!
Yes!
I heard it right!If the sales will remain at its lowest peak come this April,
She has no choice but to do it.
I understand my boss and my company's dilemma.
It's inevitable.
Of course, I am deeply shaken from what I heard.
Hoooh boy!
Is this the end of my career?
Or is it time to hunt for a new job?Anywhere could be better.
Really, a lot of things to explore on this crazy moment.lolx.
And yes, you can do this and that but there will always be
an equal reaction to it.
Some may give you good results.
Some may let you end up as a loser...wrapping your entire being
with great disappointments,frustrations and pains.
Uncertainties..
Yes, the world has tons of it.
It exist in your mind.
In your relationships, career and future.
But
as my mind speaks, my heart hears.
In situations like these.
When you get beaten with stress and confusions,
there will be a lot of options to think about.
I had attempts of going through every angle of it.
only to disturb my soul.
I don't like it. . .
I feel it's not part of me.
For far from above it all,
I want PEACE.... INNER PEACE.
Bosses words, sometimes can break your heart,
castigate you with fear and can give you a lot of lying symptoms.
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.
Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand
against the devil's schemes." Ephesians 6:10-11
It happens. And it won't stop.
How do I deal with it?
Simply, I go back to God's words instead.
For God's words are true and powerful than anyone else.
"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want!" Psalm 23
God said He is my Provider.
So be it.
He is my Provider!
God said He is my refuge.
So be it.
He is my refuge!
Jesus said:
"Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle
and humble in heart and you will find REST FOR YOUR SOULS.
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matthew 11:29-30
I am so glad in times like these,
I have the power of God's Words as a weapon.
Then I speak in tongues.
The next moment...
My world stands still..inspite of my current situation shaking me.
I am at peace.
It's just amazing how He keeps me in His wings.
I don't know how He is doing it but I am sure it's not me.
"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
They say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust." PSALM 91:1-2

Let God Love You Instead
that I persistently thought of ways on how I might be able to impress Him.
I tried to be good by doing good things.
Restrained doing the things which I considered "bad".
Did this. Did that.
Judging my thoughts, actions and bad situations
made me conclude that I was really a not-so-lovable person.
There came a point that I started doubting if God would still
love me as who and what I am. Because it was just me.
That was me.
And at that moment in time, there was really nothing I could do
to change myself in an instant.
To add up to my confusions and depression,
I encountered some Christian teachings trying
to heal you but ends up always pointing a finger at you,
trying to control you with their so-called
holy and just preachings and at the end of the day, instead of
feeling the love of God and peace within you always end up spiritually
and emotionally battered ...
They were there barking at you once they think you're on the wrong side
of their so-called "holiness".
Unconsciously, I was so focused on a "how-to-be-good" attitude cycle
that everytime I failed and committed mistakes again,
it gave me a lot of stress and frustrations.
Wooooaaaaah!
I am just human.
And I can never be perfect in this world!
If I keep focusing on my failures and mistakes,
it will be an endless feat.
We can never rely on our strength if we want to love God.
For human feelings are inconsistent. God is not.
Jesus is not. He is the same, today , tomorrow and forever!
How to love God and impress Him?
I just keep hearing His Words...
..and nothing else.
Sharing another powerful message to make your day, my friends.
And thank you for following on my blog to hear me out.
S H A L O M....

Let God Love You Instead
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!

Struggling With Faith
I kept saying, I better have that faith in Him or
I'm gonna end up somewhere.
I was so conscious of my own self-effort that in the
end, deep within my frustrations were attacking me.
Giving me feeling of unworthiness.
Now, I have learnt that,
FAITH is not something to work on with.
Human as we are, if we rely on our faith in Him,
100% sure , it will never work or we end up somewhere.
Because ....
we are imperfect.
And our imperfections,
our failures
our setbacks
keep reminding and pointing a finger
at us that we will never make it!
So sad ha?
Well, that's the complications of being in this mad,fallen world.
Now, I am just glad I know what to do.
Everytime my faith fails me.
I just listen and read God's words and
let that wash over me.
Yes!
Learn how God's Grace had made us perfect in His eyes
inspite of being imperfet!!
Sharing another powerful message from Pastor Prince!
Good Monday morning my dear friends!
"When You See God’s Grace, He Sees Your Faith"
Ephesians 2:8
8For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Many a time, people ask me, “Pastor Prince, I know that God’s promises are true, but how can I be sure that His promises will come true in my life?”
My friend, if you want God’s promises to be sure in your life, you cannot depend on yourself. If you depend on yourself — your obedience, goodness, service and even faith — you will not be able to receive God’s promises. But when you depend on God’s grace — His unmerited, unearned, undeserved favor toward you — that is when His promises become sure in your life.
This was true of the woman with the issue of blood. (Matthew 9:20–22) She didn’t go around saying, “I must have faith… I hope that I have enough faith… I will have faith… I will not lose faith.” No, she was only conscious of the grace of Jesus — how He always healed the sick, how powerful He was in raising the dead and how willing He was to use that power for her healing.
She just saw His grace abounding toward her, so much so that she said, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” And when she came behind Jesus and touched the very hem of His garment, she was healed. At that same moment, Jesus stopped, turned around and said to her, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.”
When the woman saw His grace, God saw her faith! And so it was by grace, through faith, that God’s promise became sure in her life.
God wants you to see His grace. And when you see His grace, He sees your faith. God says, “For by grace are you saved through faith.” The Greek word for “saved”, sozo, doesn’t just mean to save from hell, but also to heal, preserve and make whole. So it is by grace that you are made whole, kept healthy, preserved and prospered. It is by grace through faith that God’s promises become sure in your life.
My friend, don’t worry if you feel that you lack faith. Begin to see God’s grace in your situation and He will see that as faith. And because He sees your faith, you will receive the breakthrough you need!

Warning: Don't do this without that FAITH!
It'e obvioues on my neck and some manifestations like
my heart beats so fast. I get tired easily.
I sweat a lot and get hungry all the time.
My dear friends are worried about me.
They adviced me to go to doctor asap before it
gets worst.
Yes, they are so sweet:) I thank God for them.
But.......
I don't know.
I'm not scared or anything like I used to.
I am just so peaceful about it and rely on Jesus..
Each fear is being swallowed up by my FAITH in Him, Jesus..who is my healer.
Yes! Jesus is my Healer!! He is my doctor!
You know why?
In Him, I don't need to take meds.. (which I hate the most)
No injections, bloodtests, urine tests, lab tests etc
which keeping so much of our time.
It's just coooool, right?!
What do I need?
It's
just
my
FAITH.....
yes, My faith can heal me.
Unbelievers, even Christians would say ,
"You are crazy to believe that way.
Yes, God can heal you but you must do
what you need to do..
You must go to the doctor asap! "
I say,
"Yes, I just need to do what I need to do...
and that's.
...trust in Him for my healing.:)
Let me be crazy in believing this way.
For I know my God is my refuge, and He wants me well!"
Some would say, "If your God wants you well, then why are you sick
right now??"
I would say, " Stand back...for my healing is on the way!"
keep updated...(to be continued)
