Everyone can talk about Blood-sucking movies or TV series like TrueBlood, Twilight etc but it couldn't really do wonders to your health.
Me? I love to talk about the blood of my Savior Jesus Christ because His blood has healed and restored me. His Blood has set me free! Halleluyaaaah!
Enjoy today's devotional from Joseph Prince my dear Beloveds.
Taken the Holy Communion lately?
"The Power Of The Body And Blood" by Joseph Prince
1 Corinthians 11:26
26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.
Some time ago, one of our church members developed deep vein thrombosis (DVT) while on a flight to Israel. As she was disembarking from the plane, she collapsed. She was rushed to the hospital. But on the way there, her heart stopped beating. Apparently, the blood clot in her leg had gone to her heart, causing it to stop beating. The doctors managed to revive her heart after a few attempts, but she remained unconscious.
When I arrived at the hospital with some of my church leaders a few days later, I was told that her condition had worsened. She was in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). My leaders and I decided to partake of the Holy Communion in the ICU, proclaiming that Jesus had borne all her diseases, including DVT, and that His blood had already redeemed her from all curses, including diseases and death.
The next day, she regained consciousness! Her recovery was so supernatural that after a week of observation, she was discharged and was soon touring Israel with the next tour group that arrived there.
In another case, a church member’s elderly mother underwent a series of operations and her condition deteriorated to the point where the doctor told the family to prepare for the worst. The family took Holy Communion in the ICU. They even put a small crumb in their mother’s mouth and poured a little grape juice in. On the third day, something miraculous happened — their mother regained consciousness, got well and was discharged not too long after!
You see, each time you eat the bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death for you. You discern that the Lord’s body was broken so that your body can be whole. You discern that His healthy body has borne your diseases and pains, so that your body can be well. So when you eat the bread, you say that by His stripes you are healed. And when you drink the cup, you are drinking the life of Jesus which is in His blood.
Beloved, the life of Jesus is pain-free, disease-free and poverty-free. It attracts the favor and blessings of God. And because you have that life in you, it causes good things to happen to you!

World Watch. Are you ready? Or Weary?
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.”
