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!

How To Rest in Jesus

Do not boast for your love on Jesus because it wavers.
Instead, boast on His love for You because it's everlasting and no one or nothing can ever change that!

You might say, "Ok yeah. If God loves me then why am I in this situation? Why am I struggling? Frustrated and so empty??"

Let me say, As His Beloved child, you are still a work in progress. God is still fixing you. And while He does that, the devil is surely is in panic. So the devil wants to do everything to get you out of focus from God. He wants to give you problems. Lots of problems to worry about. He wants you to worry about your health, financial debts, career direction, relationships, etc. He wants you to be restless. Your fears are the devil's greatest power. (Remember The Green Hornet?)
So like The Green Hornet, you have your own will. It's either you fight to become fearless or you let the enemy suck the life out of you.

In Jesus, you don't need to fight anything. You can struggle or fight for awhile but Jesus won't let you do that for long...because
Jesus loves you so and all He wants you to do is to rest..

Ahhhhhhh....what a relief right?
That is good news to me!

Read Matthew 11:28 and you'll see.:)



How to stop fighting and worrying about anything?

Everytime "A little bit" of worry or fear sets in to my brain, I tell Jesus,
" Jesus, I am tired of this problem, and I dont want to worry. I just want to give it all up to you because I know You love me so and I am Your Beloved. I know You will take care of me. "

You can use your own words too.Just freely talk to Him like a child talking to a Daddy.

After I tell these things to Jesus. I always get prompted to listen to worship songs, Jesus-filled preachings and get to relax.

What a wonderful truth. :)

"We always win in the fight of life not because of our love for Him, but because of His love for us!"

Halleluyaaaaaah!!!

Why Must Take Holy Communion?





I just finished reading Pastor Joseph Prince' "Health And Wholeness Through The Holy Communion"

I believe this is one of Joseph Prince' preachings that have blessed me and my loveds so much. With Holy Communion, I have learnt to acknowledge Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and have valued His precious blood, the forgiveness of our sins. Holy Communion gives me an opportunity to be with Jesus and be reminded of Him.

On my next coming blogs, I will post more of how significant and powerful Holy Communion is in our day to day lives. Why we need to take it and when.

We may have questions popping up or running around in our mind but there's one thing that I'm sure of, partaking Holy Communion is making me and my loved ones healthy...:)

Read on...because I'm sharing some random notes of Joseph Prince' book
"Health And Wholeness Through The Holy Communion"

Be blessed!

-----------Intro---------

God ordained the Holy Communion not as a ritual to be observed, but as a blessing to be received ---- the blessing of health and wholeness.

When you hold the bread in your hand, you are coming in touch with the greatest expression of His love. This love made Him endure the cruel stripes on His back and caused Him to subject His body to be beaten, bruised and broken so that yours can be whole . And when you partake, you celebrate and release your faith to receive His health and wholeness in exchange for your sicknesses and diseases.

When you drink the wine , you are reminded that the blood of sinless Son of God did not just bring you forgiveness --- it made you forever righteous, holy and blameless. So today, you have perfect standing before the Father and His ears are attentive to your softest sigh.

Nothing Can Stand Up To God’s Love by Joseph Prince

God does not want me to be sick because I am His Beloved. He is taking care of me and my loved ones so well. He is forever protecting, blessing and loving me no matter what.
Halleluyaaaah!!

Enjoy today's daily devotional from Joseph Prince dear friends.

May you be blessed!

Nothing Can Stand Up To God’s Love by Joseph Prince

Romans 8:35
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

The pastor of our Hokkien and Mandarin congregations, Pastor Mark, used to suffer from certain health problems before he became a Christian. His doctor told him that he had to be on medication for life. He also had a huge financial debt. But when he caught hold of the teaching that he is God’s beloved, he believed it totally. He also believed that nothing could be greater than God’s love for him.

Today, Pastor Mark is off medication and completely delivered from that debt. God caused him to triumph over his sickness and debt because he cannot be defeated when he knows that he is God’s beloved.

Tribulation, distress or persecution cannot stop your heavenly Father’s love from working on your behalf. His love for you is bigger and stronger than your financial woes, marital problems or health concerns. And when God’s heart of love moves for His beloved, He opens doors that no one can shut and He makes a way when there seems to be none.

Even during lean times, you will never find the righteous forsaken. King David said, “I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread.” (Psalm 37:25) Can famine or recession stop God’s love from providing for His beloved? No! So don’t think to yourself, “I must provide for my family. If I don’t, who is going to take care of them? How are they going to survive?” God wants you to know that His love will continue to provide abundantly for you and your family.

What about deadly pestilences such as bird flu and mad cow disease, natural disasters such as tsunamis and earthquakes, or terrorist bombings? My friend, these things cannot devour you because His love protects you. You will enjoy His protection when you know that you are His beloved.

Because God’s love is greater than all the evil put together, we are more than conquerors through Christ who loved us. (Romans 8:37) We always win in the fight of life not because of our love for Him, but because of His love for us!

Christ, The Power And Wisdom Of God By Joseph Prince

Christ, The Power And Wisdom Of God By Joseph Prince

1 Corinthians 1:24
24... to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

People today run after two things: miraculous signs and wonders, and knowledge. It was no different in Bible times. The apostle Paul acknowledged that “Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom”. (1 Corinthians 1:22)

So when Paul preached Christ crucified as God’s solution to them, the message was “to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness”. (1 Corinthians 1:23) They didn’t understand how getting a revelation of Jesus and His death could give them the miracles they needed or the wisdom they wanted.

Beloved, we don’t have to run after miracles or wisdom today. We just need to run after Jesus because He is “the power of God and the wisdom of God”. The more we know Christ and Christ crucified, the more we will have the power and wisdom of God.

Several church members have shared how they have seen the power of God blast financial debts out of their lives. Not knowing what to do about their debts, they looked to the Lord to deliver them. And the Lord was able to do so mightily because He is indeed the power of God.

So if you are facing a financial debt, Christ has the power to remove the debt. And because He is also the wisdom of God, He will show you where you went wrong and teach you how to stay out of debt!

Let me give you another illustration. Let’s say a man, whose wife has left him, looks to Jesus to bring his wife back. Christ, the power of God, brings about a miraculous restoration of their marriage. But it is Christ, the wisdom of God, who will teach the husband how to keep his wife by showing him what he had done wrong and what to do to strengthen the marriage. If the husband does not have this wisdom, it will only be a matter of time before the same problems surface and his wife leaves him again.

My friend, Christ is both the power and wisdom of God to us. As the power of God, He removes obstacles in our paths. As the wisdom of God, He continually directs our paths!

Daily Declaration Of Faith

My friend, Bobbie shared this on my facebook wall and it has blessed me.
I'm sharing this in here , with her permission, so you can be blessed too..

Good evening my dear friend...

Keep this in one of your notes...really very powerful!

"I declare that I am vertically and horizontally lined up with the will of God. The blood of the everlasting covenant of Jesus Christ covers me. It has made me perfect in every good work (Heb 13:21) I am standing on the foundation of Christ. I am laying for myself a good foundation for the future that I may have eternal life (1 Tim 6:19).

I will NOT be pulled to and fro because I am maturing daily in the things of God (Eph 4:14) I live in therhema, and it is activating signs, wonders, and miracles all around me on a normal basis. Surely goodness and mercy have my back all the days of my life (Ps 23:6) Because I have divine sonship, I will abide on the course of the Lord and not be led astray.

This is my season and my place of blossom. I am under the divine alignment of the heavenlies."
