LIGHT vs DARKNESS

I have always thought "DARKNESS" in the Bible just means
committing murder, terrorism or diseases.

And..

I have always thought that when you become a Christian.
Everything will flea.
No more sadness, afflictions , pains , heartachess, etc..
and God will give u a perfect world instantly.

Well, I have thought wrongly.

I have found out.

"DARKNESS" is ..

when you are depressed...
struggling with your afflictions,
heartaches from a broken relationships,
sadness,
boredom,
financial turmoil
and career stress.


In this world,

those things will come and attack you every now and then..
Before you know it, you are trap in it.

As a Christian, you would ask God, "Lord, I have done this and that.
why this is happening to me??"

Somewhere along the way you end up struggling with your faith ..

It's self-sabotaging, right?

Some people would seek advices from friends, read books
and watch a movie just to getaway.

But...

at the end of the day.

It all comes back to them...again and again and again..

(Yeah, I know it because I was there.)


When these things happening..
it is not really a question of "what to do" or "where to go"?

it's a question of

WHOM to go to...

Who?




It's Jesus..

As I'm typing this right now,

I just had a fight with my ex.

For months I have been struggling with my frustrations over and over again.

Thinking and being torn between having these options of
getting it over real soon
or have the love come back again.

I am so filled with pain and heartaches.
I just wana runaway from it all.
There are times that I feel it's already part of me. ...

or has become me...

It isn't easy at all.

Deep within, gloom is in my heart..
It just keeps haunting me.

Yes.

I am in darkness..

My ground is shaking right now.

I feel my world is falling apart.
It's sickening with all these pains.

really

I feel like a loser !!





But guess what..

I am thankful..


You know why?


Because Jesus is in me.

No matter how sad, frustrated , depressed that I become,
His power absorbs it all and resides in me.

Knowing the truth that these are just temporary
gives me Peace and sets me free.


Everytime I feel bad about myself and all the things
that are happening to me, there's this force within me
or something which I cannot explain that lifts my spirit up.

It's cool and all I wana do is just see those negative feelings
flea away from me.

The next moment, I'm back on my feet again ...

to have fun!


I refer to my pains, sadness, afflictions as my "DARKNESS".

But Jesus is my LIGHT

When one is in total darkness and sees just a bit
of spark of light around.. there's hope.

Jesus wraps me around in His love with hope.
I may not know how it happens but just keep that way.

Yes!

My world maybe shaking right now but I don't fret.

With Jesus...
I know someday I am going to stand above it all
and live a victorious life praising Him.

It's just amazing when you know the truth..

Thank you Jesus for making things new for me!

Thank you Jesus for You are my refuge!
Not alcohol, drugs, or anything...

It's You!

Thank you ...Thank you... Thank you...J E S U S!!!

Christ Is The Treasure In You

I was always concern of this bad habit in me that only lead me
to depression, frustrations,bitterness and more pains.

I kept saying a hundred times or more, "I will never do it again!"
Yes, there were times...I was in control and thought I had overcome it.

Most of the time. I fail.

Yes.

Human efforts are inconsistent.
One week , we are better.
The next thing, we are at our worst.

My heart is stubborn ..I am stubborn!

How to do deal with it?

Just give it to God..

I am now sharing another powerful message from Pastor Prince.

God doesn't want behavior modifications..
He wants inner transformation!


"Christ Is The Treasure In You


2 Corinthians 4:7
7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

The verse tells us that we have “this treasure” in earthen vessels. Who is the treasure? Christ! Who are the earthen vessels here? You and I! Thank God the treasure is in the earthen vessels.

My friend, Christ the treasure is in you. So don’t get frustrated when you see your “earthiness”. You will always be “earthen” as long as you are in your mortal body, but remember that Christ the treasure is in you.

Should you lose your cool with your spouse or children, remember that Christ in you is your patience. When I feel impatient, I don’t pray, “Lord Jesus, give me patience... now!” No, I look to Jesus and I say, “Lord Jesus, I thank You that You are my patience.”

In my younger days and even when I first got married, I had a bad temper. I tried all sorts of anger management techniques, but I never got very far until I told God, “God, I am so frustrated trying to overcome my anger. I give up! I cannot. You can. I rest and depend on You.” Not too long after that, my wife commented, “You know, you have improved in the area of your temper.”

I thought about what she had said and realized that I was not even conscious of the change in me. When family members can see the patience of Christ manifesting through a naturally impatient person, God gets the glory.

Perhaps you are frustrated with your smoking and drinking habits. Or maybe you are discouraged by your feelings of jealousy, distrust, bitterness, depression and defeat. Don’t condemn yourself for being earthen. Don’t try to “cast out” your earthiness. Just realize that you have Christ the treasure in you.

The more you see that treasure in you, the more Christ’s brilliance shines forth in you. And in the midst of your earthiness, God gets the glory as you yourself are transformed from glory to glory! (2 Corinthians 3:18)"

Wait! Don't try to help God!

I always listen to this message everytime my faith is tested.
Somewhere along the way, I have always found out that I never trusted God
to do His works and perform miracles in me.

I felt that God is keeping His time from me , always busy to help anyone
who is also in trouble.
At the end of the day, my effort is wasted and I end up soo frustrated and depressed
asking myself or God what happened. I even end up hating him. Lolx.

Do you always trust God in all your undertakngs or do you
always end up helping and doing it all for yourself thinking
that GOd will never help us or He is too slow to respond?

Just before I became a Christian, I always thought God is a magician.
When I want something in my life badly change, I expect HIm to do it
right before my eyes or have some instant results.

Funny thing is God is not a magician. If He is , He can just zap any one of
us who believe and make a perfect human beings or a perfect world out of us.

What a boring life that would be, right?

God wants us to have faith.

If there's any trial that's coming our way, He wants us to overcome it with faith
and live a victorious life with Him.

He wants us to have strong hope in HIm...whatever we are doing and whatever state
we are in.


Yes.


The power of HOPE is what makes your Faith works.

Enjoy the sermon peepz!

Warning: Don't do this without that FAITH!

Ok my hypothyroidism is active again.
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)

Law Or Grace_ Verdict Of The Jerusalem Council

Menstrual Problems Attack!

I used to suffer migraines and stomach pains each time
my menstrual cycle comes.

Just before I got saved and have come to known Jesus' as a Healer,
I always thought menstrual cycle problems are part of one's life
and destiny. lolx!

Deep inside each time I felt the pain, I kept asking myself,
is this really part of being a woman? Why is this so?
Is this a curse???
Last time, if I have mine, I could no longer go to work.
I just stayed home the whole day feeling all the pains with tantrums,
bad moods,mood swings.
Meaning, there was no life inside of me.
Then I started to think life sucks if every month
I was going to feel that way.

I googled hoping to find answers.

Some results just gave me a lot of "something-to-dos" but
none of them have really given me a solution.
A long and lasting solution...
I know wordly advice will give you, take painkillers, go to doctor,
have a rest, sleep well, "don't worry-it's part of getting old" ,
drink a lot of water, take yoga,etc.

Deep inside, I knew I didn't get enough of those advices.
I wanted more answers different from the norm.
Something that is permanent and cannot be shaken.

At the back of my mind, someone's telling me,
"Menstrual problems are not part of you...seek for more answers."

Getting tired of it all...
I turned to Jesus a year ago.

The results?

Well, I didn't get an instant healing.
Right now, as I'm typing this,
I have my menstrual cycle.

And why am I blogging this?


It's because...

I can tell, that slowly, He is healing me.
I have not suffered migraines and stomach pains for a year now.
Although
I can still feel some pains on some parts of my body
...like on my back..legs..and shoulder.
But none of those pain can stop me from going to work right now,
or having some fun later tonight.

And no, I don't take painkillers !

:)

Deep inside.. I know He is really healing me.
And for now.. each time I feel some pains here and there.

I boldy confess,

"BY JESUS STRIPES, I AM HEALED!"

Let me say it again..


"BY JESUS STRIPES, I AM HEALED!"

and again..


"BY JESUS STRIPES, I AM HEALED!"


and again..


"BY JESUS STRIPES, I AM HEALED!"


Isaiah 53:5

"But He was wounded for our transgressions.
He was bruised for our iniquites.
The chastisement of our peace was upon Him.
AND BY HIS STRIPES, WE ARE HEALED!"

Yes, it's on the Bible.
And that's something to back it out.


As you know, I'd rather believe in the Bible,the words of GOD.
than the words of men.

The words of men can tell you, You have cancer, expect to die..
You have this disease and that...prepare the money for your medications.
There's no medicine that can heal you. Better have dialysis..
go to US for high quality medications,etc.

Well, I can say, It's really up to you.

You can believe the words of the world.
Or believe in the word of GOD.
REad this again..

Isaiah 53:5

"But He was wounded for our transgressions.
He was bruised for our iniquites.
The chastisement of our peace was upon Him.
AND BY HIS STRIPES, WE ARE HEALED!"

I don't know.

I really feel so much power in these words.
Why would the Bible say it?
God must have known that in this world, we are meant to be sick.
But in God's world...although you are sick, you can be healed!!!

Thank you Jesus.
For healing me!

If you are a non-believer and is sufferring from any disease.
Just say this.

"Jesus, I don't know who You are or what you can do to my health or disease.
But please, I pray, come to me and heal me.
I know you have longed for me to come back to you.
Here I am, please take me.. and be in control.

The world can give me so much confusions and frustrations.
But You are my peace..and my healer.
Pls. stay with me...
I pray, In Jesus name...
Amen!


Just say it..
Your faith can heal you..

Sin Cannot Stop God’s Grace!

People thought God is like our parents..
We do good. we get good. Good stuffs, praises and rewards etc.
We do bad, we get beat. We must be punished..grounded..no allowance for the week
...no clubbings..

Well, I used to think of God that way too.
Just before I became a Christian, I used to think God
will punish me everytime I commit a single mistake.
No matter how big or small it is. I feared He's always at my
back , trying to catch me.

That's why for years, I kept my distance from His presence.
Some wrong teachings had led me to fear Him.
Instead of calling on Him in times of trouble, I blamed Him
for everything. Lolx! I oould just laugh at myself few years back.

Today!

I am just so glad Pastor Prince has changed the way I think
of God.
Right now, even in my saddest part of my life, it's Him I think of.
God is not behind my troubles and heartaches..He is there to lift me up.

God didn't promise a perfect world, but He sent His Son
Jesus, so we can have a perfect and victorious life in this
mad, fallen world.

What a revelation, right?

I'm sharing another powerful daily devotional message from Pastor Prince.
Enjoy and have a great day ahead!

"Sin Cannot Stop God’s Grace!"


Romans 5:20
20Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,

When a top executive is charged for corruption or a church minister is caught in the very act of adultery, you will probably hear the phrase “fallen from grace” being used of them. We have come to believe that when someone falls into sin, he falls from grace.

But God wants us to know that when someone falls into sin, he does not fall from grace — he actually falls into grace! Thank God His grace is there to put the person back on his feet.

The Bible tells of prostitutes and corrupt tax collectors — sinners — who fell into God’s grace and got back on their feet. If the sin in their lives could stop God’s grace, they would never have been able to receive His grace of healing, help and power to live right.

Now, it is important you understand that God hates sin because it destroys our lives, relationships and bodies. Sin is evil! But sin is not overcome by us talking about it and relying on our willpower to overcome it. It takes God’s grace to destroy sin. In fact, it is when you are under His grace that sin has no dominion over you. (Romans 6:14) It is when you see His grace in providing His Son to put away your sins and make you eternally righteous that sin will not dominate you.

The devil will say to you, “You think that you can still expect God’s blessings after what you did this morning?” That is when you must remind yourself that Christ alone is your perfection and righteousness. All of us have faults. None of us deserve God’s blessings. That is why we plead the grace of God, which is His unearned, unmerited and undeserved favor toward us.

Sin does not and cannot stop God’s grace. If His grace can be cut off by sin, Jesus would never have come to save us because we were all terrible sinners. But praise God, “where sin abounded, grace abounded much more”!

My friend, God’s grace is bigger, deeper, wider and more powerful than all the world’s sins put together. Receive His grace right now to walk in total victory over that weakness or evil habit in your life!

How to heal a broken heart?

This question has been used a lot of times of course,
from people like me, who has a broken heart.

Some people, cry a lot...
isolate themselves from all their friends and anyone
just to feel that loneliness in them.
Be depress even more..

I don't know.

Humans just love to feel the pain and be at it
for a very long time.

Some will even listen to sad,love songs with tears
flowing down their cheeks...sobs..sobs..

Me?
Yes, I am broken hearted.
I am devastated.
I just cried alot of tears.
I'm lonely.

It's not easy to lose someone. Especially when you're
with that person for eight years.


For months, I tried to be insane..suffer heartaches
every now and then..

Yes.

It's sad.

And now I am praying.

"Lord, I know I have a stubborn heart.
Pains are not enough a dose to make me come up
with the right decision.

But pls. I pray..everytime I suffer these pains
and heartaches...
Please, please,please make me more healthy and
prosper me instead.

When I'm feeling so lost and confused,
Clear out my mind and heart..

At this moment, I gotta be smarter.
When I am feeling so sad, frustrated and unloved.
Make me well, Lord.
When I'm feeling so abused and devastated.
Prosper me, Lord.

That's all I got to know.
And that's all I got to ask.

In Jesus name. Amen!
