Truly, when you watch the world. Its economy and bad news and everythin that goes with it, you'd become more depressed and stressed out.
Totally Restless. Inside and out!
Worry pokes you 24/7.
Good thing, I've changed my route.
You see, how to deal these things is really up to me.
I can sit in my couch, watch the world go by and be weary.
Or I can sit, relaxed and hear God's Words daily.
For the past few years that I have been a Christian, I learnt, everything around us happens not for a reason nor with a purpose. But it just happens. You do this , you get this kinda loop. Or for some apparent reason, something happens and you just be left out dumdfounded at what life is throwing back at you. Hoping you can choose between stones or bread. Lolx.
I can always make mistakes. That's why I keep asking Jesus to guide me and give me more wisdom in everything that goes on with my life.
Shall I ask for strength?
I did. But I still ended up tired.
So I won't.
I have stopped asking anything else from Him except for Wisdom.
And then I found out that Wisdom is not a noun.
It's a person.
It's Jesus.
With Jesus, I find my REST from this mad, fallen, cursed world.
I feel secure.
Because His blood will protect me and my loved ones from everything that's unhealthy. Or scary.
Jesus is my PEACE.
Thank you Jesus!
Your death has become my LifE!
You really are an awesome Savior!
Now , im more interested in watching and hearing God's words.
Because in it, comes good health and LIFE to all my flesh.
Verse:
Have i stopped caring?
No.
I just rest on the truth that God is doing something right now to the world that only His real children could understand.
Whatever it is. Dont freak out.
Its not eartquakes, H1N1 , tsunamis or anything bad!
It's gona be something good!
Step back and see His salvation!!!!

Your Words Carry Power!
The devil is happy when you use the power of your words against yourself and your loved ones.He wants to see you defeated.
So instead of saying, “I am always short of money,” say, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1)
Instead of saying, “I am so useless. I can’t do anything,”
start saying, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
(Philippians 4:13)

God is not saying that your sickness does not exist...
...nor is He asking you to pretend that it is not there. He is asking you to look away from the sickness, painful as it may be, and look to the truth that it has already been judged at the cross in the body of His Son.
My friend, you let natural facts rule or establish God’s truths over your problem by what you choose to focus on. So decide today not to focus on the facts concerning your problem. Instead, establish the truth of God’s Word and Christ’s finished work over your problem — and live!

God Wants You Free From Worries by Joseph Prince
God Wants You Free From Worries by Joseph Prince
Matthew 6:25
25“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
Is your heart full of worries about your health, finances, family or future? Even when all is well, some people still worry because they have heard others say, “You should worry when everything is peaceful because something is wrong when the devil leaves you alone.” So they worry even when there is nothing to worry about!
But Jesus does not want you to worry about what you will eat or drink, or about your body and what you will put on your back. He tells you not to worry about your daily provisions because God, who is your heavenly Father, knows that you need all these things and He wants to add these things to you. (Matthew 6:32–33)
God is the same God who took care of the children of Israel in the wilderness, feeding them with manna every day for 40 years! (Exodus 16) Under His care, His people had no lack. When the people wanted meat for dinner, He simply rained quails on them. (Numbers 11:31–32) The children of Israel only had to pick them up. If they had gone to look for meat themselves, they probably would not have found any in the desert.
The problem with us today is that we think that we must do something to help ourselves. Some of us may even think that it is easy for Jesus to say, “Don’t worry. Take no thought for your life,” because He does not understand the problems we face in life.
But the truth is that Jesus understands the problems we face in life. In fact, He faced what I would call the “final problem” — death. Death is the “final problem” because it puts an end to all our other problems. Jesus faced death at the cross, conquered it and rose from the dead. And because He conquered the problem of problems, we can trust Him when He tells us not to worry!

Believe Your Debt Is More Than Paid! by Joseph Prince
Believe Your Debt Is More Than Paid! by Joseph Prince
Hebrews 10:22
22let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
I would like you to imagine this scenario: You borrow a huge sum of money from a friend and promise to pay him back in six months’ time. When the time comes, you feel really bad because you cannot repay him as you don’t have the money. A year rolls by without you repaying a cent. Now, you feel extremely guilty. You try to avoid your friend because you are too embarrassed and ashamed to see him.
Let’s say that your best friend hears about your plight. Out of the goodness of his heart, he goes to your creditor and says, “Look, I understand that my best friend owes you money.”
“Yes, he owes me US$50,000.”
“Here is US$100,000. I am paying you on his behalf.”
Your creditor says, “No, no, no! He owes me only US$50,000.”
Your best friend says, “I know. But take the US$100,000 so that you can never say that he still owes you money.”
Now, your debt has been paid, in fact, more than paid. But if you don’t know or believe this, that debt will still be on your conscience. You will still be afraid to see your creditor. And you will avoid him because he reminds you of your debt.
My friend, you need to know that Jesus was an overpayment when He offered Himself as your sin offering, because of the quality and worth of the Man Himself. My friend, He overpaid for your sins when He became your sacrifice on the cross.
But if you don’t know or believe this, you will suffer as your unbelief will rob you of assurance, joy and peace. You will still have debt on your conscience. Even though God is not imputing sin to you (Romans 4:8), sin is still on your conscience. And as long as sin is on your conscience, you won’t dare to draw near to Him.
Beloved, the truth is that your sins have been more than paid for. Jesus was an overpayment. So draw near to God today with no sin on your conscience!

My friend, don’t fix your eyes on how much or how little faith you have.
Fix your eyes on the One who loves you, who has already given you what you need. When you come to Him, simply believe that He is waiting to meet your expectation. He will say to you, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.”

AWESOME That I Know Sets Me FREE!
I was exposed to some Christians under the law who made reaching to God so difficult.
They used the "repent" word and i hated it. So much that I turned away frm Him for years.
They equate "repent" to deadly works and told me "you-must-do-this and that" series before coming to God. It was hard I know. It was like telling me, you must clean yourself well before taking a shower. Haah! Yes, I am imperfect. Thats why Jesus came to save me. If I am perfect, then I don't need Jesus to die for me.
Jesus' blood keeps me clean! No matter how many times I stumble or fail. His love will change me inside out, EFFORTLESSLY!
Awesome truth!

God Always Wants You Well by Joseph Prince
God Always Wants You Well
John 14:9
9Jesus said to him, “… He who has seen Me has seen the Father…”
Imagine the following scenario:
A father says to his little girl, “Come here, girl. Mummy says that you have been playing by the roadside. Is that true?”
“Yes, Daddy. I’m sorry,” the little girl says softly.
“Sorry? How many times have I told you that you must not play near the road? Come here! Now, lie down on the road and stretch out your legs!”
The father drives his car over his little girl’s legs. There is the sound of bones being crushed and the poor girl screams in pain.
“Now girl, you know Daddy loves you. And Daddy did that to you to teach you a lesson, to tell you that playing by the roadside is dangerous.”
If you are shaking your head in horror by now, wondering which sick mind would do that to one’s own daughter, imagine what people are accusing our heavenly Father of — that He gives sicknesses, accidents, destruction and even death just to teach people lessons.
Jesus said, “If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.” Jesus is the nature of God in action. Throughout the gospel, we see God going about healing the sick. If God wants people sick, there should at least be one incident in the gospel where you see Him saying, “Behold, your complexion is too lovely, receive leprosy,” or “Blindness is good for you. Remain blind.” But no, never once! In fact, Jesus “went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil”. (Acts 10:38) That’s the heart of God.
As a father, if your child is sick and in great pain, your heart just wants him well. How much more your heavenly Father! God does not give your child sicknesses to teach both of you some lesson or to glorify Himself. To think so is to talk out of a warped mind bound by religion! Christianity is not a religion. It is a relationship with your Father in heaven. It is a heart matter.
And His heart speaks to your heart, saying, “I will never ever punish My children. I do not wish you ill. I will not take away your child. I will not give you car wrecks to teach you a lesson. My heart always wants My children well!”

Round-The-Clock Protection by Joseph Prince
Round-The-Clock Protection by Joseph Prince
Psalm 91:5–6
5You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, 6nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
During World War II, German planes bombed London. Houses were leveled. But there was one that remained standing amidst the rubble. Its owner said that when she read Psalm 121:4, which says, “Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep,” she told the Lord, “Lord, since You don’t sleep, then there is no point in both of us keeping awake. I will sleep while You keep watch.” And she did, while the Lord protected her and her house.
In 2005, terrorists attacked London’s public transport system. That day, a Singaporean girl found herself unexpectedly late for work and could not get to the train station in time to board her usual train. When she finally neared the station, she realized that it had been bombed just a few minutes earlier. Her mother, who worships in our church, believes that God protected her daughter that day.
God wants you to know that you have round-the-clock protection — “You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.”
He protects you from “the terror by night”, which could refer to evils such as rape, kidnap or murder. He promises you protection from “the arrow that flies by day”. This could refer to bullets from a crazy sniper, drive-by shootings or home-made rockets fired into your territory.
God also shields you from “the pestilence that walks in darkness”, referring to viruses which you cannot see. You don’t have to be afraid of deadly viruses lurking somewhere or wonder if some deadly disease is developing in your body.
God also doesn’t want you to be afraid of “the destruction that lays waste at noonday”, such as a tsunami hitting the beach resort you are at, or a bomb going off in the shopping mall you are in.
You need not be afraid because God, who neither slumbers nor sleeps, is watching over you 24 hours a day!

Thanking God At All Times by Joseph Prince
Goooooood morning Beloveds!
Lets keep thanking the Lord no matter what happens in our lives.
After all, it's not all about us.
It's all about Him!!!
Halleluyaaaah!
Thanking God At All Times by Joseph Prince
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)

Be Full Of The Consciousness Of God by Joseph Prince
Man's word often discourages you. Look at the news, hear your doctor, etc.
Sometimes it gives fear for you to be stressed out and die prematurely.
It makes you wonder about the truth...
God's words lift you up. Gives you the Good news about what Jesus has done for you. Gives you LIFE and Victory.
Which do you prefer?
Me? Of course, I am into good and positive vibes , so I enjoy
God's words.
God's words are healing to my body and soul. Thank you Abba, Father.:)
Enjoy today's devotional from Joseph Prince everyone!
Your goal is to know who you are in God's eyes.
That's where the freedom comes!
"Be Full Of The Consciousness Of God by Joseph Prince"
1 Corinthians 2:12
12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
You are probably familiar with the story of how David, with a sling and a stone, slew Goliath, a 10-feet-tall Philistine warrior. But have you ever wondered why David succeeded while the others in the army of Israel did not even dare to face Goliath?
David’s secret was that he was only conscious of victory and not defeat, because he knew a God who had rescued him time and again.
You can just imagine him saying, “One day, I was taking care of my sheep when a lion came and took one of them. I was not willing to settle for that! I went after the lion, caught it by its beard and smote it. The Lord delivered me from the lion’s mouth. On another occasion, a bear came and took one of my flock. I went after the bear and smote it. So the Lord delivered me from the bear too. This same God, who delivered me from the paws of the lion and bear, will also deliver me from this Philistine.” (1 Samuel 17:34–37)
David was conscious of what God had done for him. He knew that God was for him, loved him, favored him and would give him victory again. My friend, you can also remind yourself that the same God, who did tremendous things for you in the past, will do the same for you again.
Be like David, who was conscious only of God’s goodness and faithfulness. Don’t be like the army of Israel. The men were conscious of the negative words of Goliath. I believe that they must have talked about his threats, repeating his words to one another, and as a result, filled their hearts with fear. (1 Samuel 17:11, 24)
Beloved, don’t feed on the negative words of man or the devil. It will only cause you to be anxious and fearful. Feed on God’s Word by reading the Bible and listening to messages about who you are in Christ and what He has done for you. Pump yourself up with God’s Word until you are full of the Spirit and consciousness of God, so that you might know the things that have been freely given to you by God!

Enjoy today's devotional from Joseph Prince everyone!
Your goal is to know who you are in God's eyes.
That's where the freedom comes!
"Be Full Of The Consciousness Of God by Joseph Prince"
1 Corinthians 2:12
12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
You are probably familiar with the story of how David, with a sling and a stone, slew Goliath, a 10-feet-tall Philistine warrior. But have you ever wondered why David succeeded while the others in the army of Israel did not even dare to face Goliath?
David’s secret was that he was only conscious of victory and not defeat, because he knew a God who had rescued him time and again.
You can just imagine him saying, “One day, I was taking care of my sheep when a lion came and took one of them. I was not willing to settle for that! I went after the lion, caught it by its beard and smote it. The Lord delivered me from the lion’s mouth. On another occasion, a bear came and took one of my flock. I went after the bear and smote it. So the Lord delivered me from the bear too. This same God, who delivered me from the paws of the lion and bear, will also deliver me from this Philistine.” (1 Samuel 17:34–37)
David was conscious of what God had done for him. He knew that God was for him, loved him, favored him and would give him victory again. My friend, you can also remind yourself that the same God, who did tremendous things for you in the past, will do the same for you again.
Be like David, who was conscious only of God’s goodness and faithfulness. Don’t be like the army of Israel. The men were conscious of the negative words of Goliath. I believe that they must have talked about his threats, repeating his words to one another, and as a result, filled their hearts with fear. (1 Samuel 17:11, 24)
Beloved, don’t feed on the negative words of man or the devil. It will only cause you to be anxious and fearful. Feed on God’s Word by reading the Bible and listening to messages about who you are in Christ and what He has done for you. Pump yourself up with God’s Word until you are full of the Spirit and consciousness of God, so that you might know the things that have been freely given to you by God!

I Could Still Get Sick??
Oh no it's happening!
But I reject it in Jesus mighty name!
I got a splitting-headache last night untill this morning and my tonsils are swollen.
Of not being sick for almost 5years now, I felt "Hey! Why is this happening to me?"
Suddenly, it hit on me..
I'm still human after all lolx!
2 swollen tonsils. Last time it would already give me high fever and I would be bedridden for days.
But now, I'm still up. I ate alot of my breakfast and could still write this blog.
Halleluyaaaaah!
When you're sick , you think alot of stuffs, really deep stuffs. And then you'd feel so down and out wondering if you're still loved.
I wasn't an exception. Lolx!
This morning while on bed I talked to God,
" God, you see being sick makes me so uncomfortable praising and worshipping you and even continue to encourage others. So why can't you make me healthy all the time?"
Then a verse flashed on mine,
Isaiah 53:4-5
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
These words washed me thoroughly. And now, even if I still feel some pain here and there in some parts of my body,
I declare,
"BY JESUS STRIPES, I AM HEALED!"
For me, these words are more powerful and stronger
Than hearing someone said,
Take the meds.
What am feeling right now is temporary. This "sickness" in my body won't stay long in me. Trust me. Because.,,
I am the Healed!
Thank you Jesus!
If the devil tells you that you're meant to be sick. Just say
NOOOOO!!!
By Jesus stripes I am healed!
You got a problem with that?!
Hahah!
Praising God when one is well and healthy is easy.
Praising God when sick?
Can you do that?
Well, I just learnt
I CaN!

Freely Receive What God Freely Gives by Joseph Prince
Freely Receive What God Freely Gives by Joseph Prince
Romans 4:13
13For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
God promised that you would be the heir of the world. It is the same promise that He made to Abraham. And because you are Christ’s, you are Abraham’s seed and an heir “according to the promise”. (Galatians 3:29)
When God made this promise to you, He made it so easy for you to receive — “through the righteousness of faith”. All you have to do is believe that as the heir of the world every blessing is righteously yours because Jesus died to give them to you. He also rose from the dead to enforce them in your life.
So don’t try to earn your blessings “through the law” — through your efforts or performance. Freely receive what God freely gives to you through Christ and His finished work at the cross.
When a church member was retrenched at 41 years of age, he refused to fret or think that he had to jostle with the rest of the people in the job market. Instead, he believed that by God’s grace, he would get a better job with a higher pay. Indeed, through a mutual acquaintance, a new job came along with a pay packet that was 60 per cent more than his previous one!
Another man was experiencing a strained relationship with his wife to the point that divorce was imminent. When he started attending our church, he realized that a happy marriage could be his, not by his trying to keep the marriage going or earning the love of his wife, but by believing that although he could see his own weaknesses, he was still the righteousness of God in Christ because of the blood of Jesus. Today, he and his wife are reconciled, and enjoying a blessed marriage.
Don’t let the devil disqualify you by bringing you the law and saying, “How can you receive this blessing when just last night, you broke God’s law?” or “Are you sure you deserve this?” Instead, say, “Father, I thank You that I receive everything freely by Your grace, Your unmerited favor in my life, because of the blood of Jesus!”

Rest And Receive Your Miracle by Joseph Prince
Rest And Receive Your Miracle by Joseph Prince
Hebrews 4:9
9There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.
In the healing of the paralyzed man at the pool of Bethesda (John 5:1–16), Jesus knew that for 38 years, the man had been flat on his back, unable to do anything for himself or others, no matter how hard he struggled.
In the case of the woman oppressed with a spirit of infirmity (Luke 13:10–13), Jesus knew that the woman had been bowed over for 18 years. And in that condition, she saw very little that was beautiful in life, only the dusty ground, dirty sandals and bruised feet.
What about the man with a withered hand? (Luke 6:6–10) Jesus knew from His carpenter days how a useless hand could have easily given the man a very poor sense of self-worth.
I believe that all three of them must have struggled for so long to get back on their feet, to try to lift themselves up, to attempt to do something about their situations, only to be disappointed each time they failed. In fact, they got so frustrated with striving to get better that by the time they met Jesus, they had probably given up trying to change their situations.
It was then that Jesus came and extended His offer to turn their situations around. And when they embraced His offer, they received the miracles that they had sought for so long.
You too may have been struggling to get back on your feet, or to lift yourself out of the problem that has sorely weighed you down. You have attempted to do whatever you could, hoping that it would amount to something, but you have been frustrated time and again. My friend, God wants you to cease from all your struggling and accept the offer He extends to turn your situation around.
It is no coincidence that all three of them received their miracles on the Sabbath, the day of rest for the Jews. God’s Word says, “There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.” The day you cease from your own laboring and striving, and rest in the finished work of Christ, is the day you receive your miracle.
Jesus has done all the work. Whatever you need has been provided for at the cross. So just be at rest and receive your miracle!

Hope That Does Not Disappoint by Joseph Prince
Hope That Does Not Disappoint by Joseph Prince
Romans 5:5
5Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Today, we express hope as if we can’t be sure what will really happen. We say, “I hope I will win that prize. I hope it won’t rain tomorrow. I hope everything works out well.”
But “hope” in the Bible is a confident and positive expectation of good. God wants you to have a confident expectation of good because as His child, He favors you. Because Christ is in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27), you can expect the glory of God to shine into every area of your life, including your family, job, ministry, health and finances!
God’s Word says, “Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” You may have experienced disappointed hopes, but there is a hope that does not disappoint when you are conscious of how much God loves you. It is a hope that springs from the heart of God, who loves you very much.
It is interesting that the first mention of the Holy Spirit in the book of Romans is tied up with the love of God. The book of Romans is considered foundational for Christians. Could it be that the first thing the Holy Spirit wants to do is to establish in our hearts that God loves us? Many people think that the Holy Spirit has come to teach us about power. But the truth is that the Holy Spirit has come not to reveal the love for power, but the power of love!
My friend, you may have just lost your job. But if you can say, “Jesus loves me this I know,” you can also say, “I believe that I will get a better job tomorrow.” Your girlfriend may have just left you for your best friend. But because you can say, “Jesus loves me this I know,” you can also say, “I’ll meet a better girl.”
When you believe that God loves you, you will have a positive expectation of good. You will have a hope that does not disappoint. So be careful what you hope for because you are bound to get it!

You should never allow yourself to speak of how you feel.,.
.... nor permit others to ask you how you are feeling;
you should never concede that you are ill,
nor permit others to talk about disease or pain or death or similar nonexistences in your presence.
Such talk only encourages the mind to continue its empty imaginings."

Rest And Find God’s Grace by Joseph Prince
Rest And Find God’s Grace by Joseph Prince
Luke 2:40
40And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
The verse says that the grace of God was upon Jesus. The Bible also says that where sin abounds, grace abounds much more. (Romans 5:20) And when you put the two together, you may find yourself asking, “If the grace of God was upon Jesus, does it mean that He sinned?”
No, Jesus did not sin. (2 Corinthians 5:21) So there must be another explanation as to why God’s grace was upon Jesus. There must be another explanation as to why someone can abound in God’s grace even when he has not sinned.
Let’s look at the word “grace” when it is first mentioned in the Bible. Genesis 6:8 says that “Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord”. Noah’s name means “rest”. So the verse is telling us that rest found grace. In other words, when you rest, you find grace!
So grace was upon Jesus because His life was a life of rest and trust in His Father. He said, “The Son can do nothing of Himself. He can do only what He sees His Father doing.” (John 5:19)
Likewise, grace comes upon you when you rest and trust God. If you have a wayward child, stop nagging at him and trust God to handle the problem. Say, “Jesus, I commit this boy into Your hands. I cannot control him. You can.” If you have a persistent pain in your body, bring it to the Lord. Say, “Jesus, I hand all my worries about this pain to You. You work on the pain.”
“Pastor Prince, what if nothing happens?”
Honestly, if after you have given the matter to Jesus and nothing happens, what can you do? If Jesus Himself can’t do anything about it, do you think you can? But praise God, once the problem is handed over to Jesus, He can and will do a perfect work of taking care of it for you!
So live a life of rest. Have this attitude and tell the Lord, “I can do nothing of myself. I just rest in You Lord and I trust You.” Beloved, what you will see is the grace of God upon you in every situation of your life!

Jesus' TRUTH shall Set You Free!
I have been through alot of difficult circumstances.
At work, in my personal life, family or relationships.
When something unacceptable happens or that is meant to happen,
I pray.
If it gets solved. I'm happy.
Then I start to live life again hoping that everything will go on smoothly.
Yes. I can only hope.
As a newbie Believer who had little knowledge of who really God is and Jesus, as my Savior. All I could do was pray, hope, and just be very patient on whatever came my way.
It was a cycle of "breathe-eat-live-battle some problems-depression-frustrations-hope-pray-breathe and live again" routine.
In my mind and heart, I knew something was not right.
There was more to Christianity than just having all these at hand.
So I asked Jesus,
"Jesus, I thought if I believe and accept you as my Savior, everything would be ok. Then why is it that these heartbreaking, unwanted events in my life are still happening to me?"
Then He replied to me with a verse,
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
-John 16:33
Then one day, it just came to me.
Yes!
In this mad-fallen world, anything weird can happen.
sickness, accidents, tsunamis, H1N1, earthquakes, problems, stress,heartaches ...Tribulations indeed!
We have no control of that.
And that's what makes it the most frustrating part. I know.
But guess what!
In our human realm,
It's hopeless.
But in God's realm,
It is finished!
Because Jesus said in John 16:33, "TAKE HEART! Because I have overcome the world!"
Yessss!
The battle has won by Jesus when He was crucified on the cross!
His blood, wounds and death has become our protection,healing, blessings, favor and LIFE!!!
All we need to do is to
TAKE HEART.
BELIEVE.
And
REST.
Jesus has become our PEACE.
No more struggling with whatever symptoms you have in your body.
Just say, "Thank you Jesus for by Your stripes, I am healed!"
If so much fear creeps in you and you feel that your condition has worsen and you really find it hard to believe that you've been healed, you can take meds or go to the doctor, but before you do that, listen to me, just say,
"Jesus, this will be the last time that I'm gona take this med or go to the doc, because in You I am healed. I have victory over my sicknesses Lord because of what You've done in the Calvary! Amen!"
You see, knowing these TRUTHS are very important because in it comes your Victory.
Our Victory in Jesus' mighty name!
"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
John 8:32

At work, in my personal life, family or relationships.
When something unacceptable happens or that is meant to happen,
I pray.
If it gets solved. I'm happy.
Then I start to live life again hoping that everything will go on smoothly.
Yes. I can only hope.
As a newbie Believer who had little knowledge of who really God is and Jesus, as my Savior. All I could do was pray, hope, and just be very patient on whatever came my way.
It was a cycle of "breathe-eat-live-battle some problems-depression-frustrations-hope-pray-breathe and live again" routine.
In my mind and heart, I knew something was not right.
There was more to Christianity than just having all these at hand.
So I asked Jesus,
"Jesus, I thought if I believe and accept you as my Savior, everything would be ok. Then why is it that these heartbreaking, unwanted events in my life are still happening to me?"
Then He replied to me with a verse,
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
-John 16:33
Then one day, it just came to me.
Yes!
In this mad-fallen world, anything weird can happen.
sickness, accidents, tsunamis, H1N1, earthquakes, problems, stress,heartaches ...Tribulations indeed!
We have no control of that.
And that's what makes it the most frustrating part. I know.
But guess what!
In our human realm,
It's hopeless.
But in God's realm,
It is finished!
Because Jesus said in John 16:33, "TAKE HEART! Because I have overcome the world!"
Yessss!
The battle has won by Jesus when He was crucified on the cross!
His blood, wounds and death has become our protection,healing, blessings, favor and LIFE!!!
All we need to do is to
TAKE HEART.
BELIEVE.
And
REST.
Jesus has become our PEACE.
No more struggling with whatever symptoms you have in your body.
Just say, "Thank you Jesus for by Your stripes, I am healed!"
