God Is Your Abba, Father By Joseph Prince

God Is Your Abba, Father By Joseph Prince

Galatians 4:6
6And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”

Have you ever realized that God was never known as “Father” until Jesus came to earth and revealed Him as such? In His prayer to His Father, Jesus said, “And I have declared to them Your Name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.” (John 17:26) What name was Jesus referring to? It was the name “Father”. If there was anything close to Jesus’ heart, it was to introduce God as “Father” to us.

In the Bible, Jesus said, “Therefore, do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’… For your heavenly Fatherknows that you need all these things.” (Matthew 6:31–32) Once, He said, “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” (Matthew 7:11)

Jesus wants you to always have this image of God in your mind — that He is your Abba, Father. Why? Because He wants you to know that there is nothing more important or too insignificant for the Father when it comes to His children.

Imagine a father playing with his five-year-old son, when he notices a splinter embedded in his little boy’s thumb. The concerned father asks, “When did you get this?”

“A few days ago,” the boy answers.

“Why didn’t you tell Daddy about it?”

“I thought you were too busy and that I shouldn’t bother you.”

If you were that father, wouldn’t it break your heart to hear your child say this to you?

A splinter in one’s thumb may be a small thing, but there is nothing too small when it concerns your child because if it affects him, it affects you too. Now, no matter how old you are today, you are still God’s child, so don’t think that your problem is too small for God. If it is important to you, it is important to your Father too. Beloved, always remember that He is your Abba, Father!

Not Satisfied With Just Being Saved by Joseph Prince

Not Satisfied With Just Being Saved by Joseph Prince

Genesis 12:7
7Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.

I don’t know about you, but I am not satisfied with just knowing that I am righteous by faith. I also want to get to know the One who made me righteous. I want to have an intimate relationship with my Savior!

Abraham was such a man. He was righteous by faith, but he also had a close walk with God and was blessed by God in all things. (Genesis 24:1) His nephew Lot, on the other hand, although righteous too (2 Peter 2:7–8), had no heart for God. He ended up losing a lot when Sodom, the city he dwelt in, was destroyed along with Gomorrah. He was saved by the skin of his teeth!

My friend, do you want to be a Christian like Lot, righteous but always finding yourself in trouble, or do you want to be a righteous-and-blessed Christian like Abraham? Then, like Abraham, have a heart for God.

From place to place, Abraham would build an altar to the Lord. And in between altars, he grew very rich! (Genesis 13:2) There is no biblical record, however, of Lot ever building an altar to the Lord.

What is an “altar” in today’s context? It is a place where you know that you have a close relationship with God. For example, when my late father was in the hospital, I was worried and did not know what to do. I remember driving down the road and crying. After a while, I just threw my cares to the Lord. When I reached the hospital, I just laid my hands on my father and said, “Be healed in Jesus’ name.” And he was healed!

Till today, I can remember the place where I had cast my cares to the Lord and leaned on His love for me. That is my “altar”. And it is not the only one.

We have got to have this kind of relationship with God, one full of “altars” that remind us of His love, goodness and faithfulness. Let’s not live the Christian life like Lot, saved by the skin of our teeth. Let’s walk closely with God as Abraham did, and be richly blessed in every area of our lives!

I Am Righteous in Christ!

I have read this in Joseph Prince' "Healing Promises" book
and I feel I need to share it here.

Let us all accept the fact that as a Christian, we can never be perfect.
Each waking hour of our lives could mean failure somewhere one way or the other.

But let's not allow these setbacks and human imperfections prevent
us from coming boldly to God.

The truth that Jesus is our righteousness is our REST.
If you come to realize this revelation and stand boldly on it,
it's gona change you and change your life. Because instead of feeling guilty of what you've done or too focus on your actions, you will become grateful for what JESUS has done.

Read more from Joseph Prince.

My friend, at the cross, Jesus did not just take away your sins, He also gave you His righteousnesss!
A divine exchange took place--- your sins for His righteousness. This means that, today, you are as righteous as Christ Himself--not because of your good works, but because of His finished work!

Place your hand over your heart right now and boldly declare:

I, (state your name), AM the rightousness of God in Christ!

Come on, say it out loud at least three times and believe it in your heart every day. If the enemy tells you, "You're a bad Christian and that's why you're sick," declare' "I AM RIGHTEOUS IN CHRIST!"

When you honor the work of the Son, you'll see Him arising "with healing in His wings" for every weakness, distress and pain!

A Brand New Body At The Blast Of A Trumpet! by Joseph Prince

A Brand New Body At The Blast Of A Trumpet! by Joseph Prince

1 Thessalonians 4:16
16For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

All over the world, Jews celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Occurring usually in the month of September, this feast is celebrated with the blowing of trumpets — the shofar or ram’s horn. That is why it is also called the Feast of Trumpets.

The Jews observe seven feasts: The Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacles. The first four have been fulfilled literally by Jesus. He was the Passover Lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7), the bread of life (John 6:35) and the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. (1 Corinthians 15:20) And when Pentecost had fully come after His ascension, He sent us the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:1–4)

So the next feast that we are waiting for Jesus to fulfill literally is the Feast of Trumpets. Why is this feast significant to us? Because when Jesus fulfills it, it means that we are going up to meet Him in the clouds!

I am talking about the rapture of the church. When the trumpet sounds, “in the twinkling of an eye”, we who are alive will be changed. We will put on new bodies that will be like Jesus’! Those who are dead in Christ will rise and also receive new bodies. They will go up first followed by us who are alive, and we will all meet the Lord in the air. (1 Corinthians 15:51–55)

This means that there is a possibility that you might not see death! The Bible says, “Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.” (1 Thessalonians 4:17) It is one thing to happen to be alive, but quite another to remain alive.

I believe that there is a generation of Christians who know the resurrection power of the Lord. They know how to walk in their inheritance and put off sickness and death until the coming of the Lord. My friend, may you be counted as one of them as you take the Lord Jesus and His finished work as your victory over sickness and death!

The Lord Is Able And Most Willing by Joseph Prince

The Lord Is Able And Most Willing by Joseph Prince

Matthew 8:3
3Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

When you see someone receiving a miraculous healing or financial breakthrough, do you ask, “What about me, Lord?” I believe that the leper who came to Jesus must have asked the same question.

He must have heard or seen from a distance, since he was not permitted to be in public places by the law, how Jesus had healed the sick. So he had no doubt that Jesus could heal him, but he was not sure if Jesus would. He said to Jesus, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” (Matthew 8:2) He was confident of the power of God, but not the love of God for him.

Like the leper, maybe you don’t have a problem believing that God can give you your miracle, since He is Almighty God. But you are wondering if He will do it for you. My friend, let Jesus’ actions and answer to the leper settle this question once and for all. He stretched forth His hand, touched the leper and said, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately, the leper was healed.

I want you to notice that Jesus touched the leper. He could have healed him from a distance with just a spoken word. He had healed others this way as in the case of the centurion’s servant and the Syro-Phoenician woman’s daughter. So why did He touch the leper?

Jesus knew that for so many years, the leper had been cut off from his family and society, so he must have been feeling dehumanized. I believe that Jesus touched him to make him feel human again, to make him feel loved and accepted again. His touch was His love language to the leper.

Can you see God’s heart of love here? Can you see how much He loved the leper? That is how much He loves you! The day that you come to know God’s heart of love and believe that He wants you blessed more than you want to be blessed is the day that you receive your miracle!

Beloved, catch a glimpse of God’s heart of love, and you will believe that He is not only able, but also willing to make you whole!

The Wild Ride Called "Life" : My BattleStar Galactica Experience

You know I'm really scared of taking wild rides like the Battlestar Galactica of Universal Studios Singapore.

The thought of it makes me so fearful. Scary thoughts like "What if I fall while riding on it?", "What if there's a lose cable somewhere or unresolved technical issues ?"

"What if?"......."What if??"

Lolx!

Last Sunday, before me and my friends went to Universal Studios, I talked to Jesus about it. I said,"Jesus, you know to experience Battlestar Galactica is not really a big thing for me. I can have more fun without it, you know that. So please, when I'm there, just lead me to where the BESTEST place to have fun with.amen. "

And guess what.

Jesus led me to Battlestar Galactica's Cylon. Haaaah!

I could say it was the BEST experience in my whole life!!!

And while on it, some revelations popped in..

LIFE in itself is like taking that wild ride. 

The ups and downs, twists and turns, shaking here and there...

Those moments will stun  or scare the hell out of you in some ways..

 But it's ok ...you just need to hold on real tight because it's not gona last anyway. 

It is just temporary.. (familiar?) 

My own revelations got me. While I was on that ride and as I felt my stomach turned upside-down while it was twisting me here and there, I learnt to just let go of my grip. Opened my hands up in the air and screamed!

I knew from that moment on that there's really nothing to be scared of. I'm secured and I trusted the engineers who built it.

Like in life, when you experience problems here and there, ups and down, and when you feel and think that life is beating you up with stress there's really nothing to be scared of because you trust God. And through Jesus, you are secured and divinely protected.

Amen?

I say Ameeeeeen!!!

After Battlestar Galactica's Cylon,

I couldn't get enough so I still joined my friends in Battlestar Galactica's HUMAN..

It was a wooooooow!!!!

My tip if you want to try it and get the best experience:

Just learn to let go and go with the flow. Open your hands up in the air and screaaaaaaaaam!

Of course, a little prayer would work. Just ask Jesus to lead you and He will make the BESTEST decision for you.

**winks

Good morning dear friends.

Happy, Blessed Wednesday!
