Swine Flu Alert vs PSalm 91

After recession, now Swine flu.
Look at how the world wants to treat you.
The world wants you to freak out so even
before the swine flu hits on your backyard,
you already have a heart attack.

You don't want that to happen, do you?

On my side here in Singapore,
I can feel the pressure.
Everybody's talking about it like it's just waiting
outside ready to attack us anytime.

Even my mac is giving in. lolx!

Some Christians or non-believers would just say,
"come what may, if it's God's will.. it shall come to pass."

Heeeyy, Wake up !

God doesn't want all of these to happen to His children!

Nor does He EVER wanted to see His children sick with weird diseases outbreak!

He knows that all these things will come to pass so He keeps reminding us

of His protection in PSALM 91.

So if you believe in His Words...be bold and claim your protection!

I don't know with you. But I have no patience waiting for

some scientists' discovering new ways of fighting it!

Prevention is still better than cure.

I want my protection now!

I want real healing now!

So I'm gona say..


Psalm 91

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

If you want God's protection, you can say that prayer with me.
Write it down and share it to your loved ones. Let them speak it.
For God's Word is God's power!


A thousand diseases, swine flu, sars, bird flu shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; BUT IT SHALL NOT COME NEAR ME!

See God’s Goodness In The Midst Of Evil

Just in time after my "Swine Flu- What's next?" post.

It is indeed pure joy in seeing beauty and goodness

in whatever evil or bad things that come our way.

If you switch your mind and labour yourself to have that REST...

You can only have internal PEACE that cannot be shaken.

Preach it Pastor Prince!

"See God’s Goodness In The Midst Of Evi"l


Matthew 2:13
13… an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.”

God does not play a game of counterattack with the devil — the devil does something bad, then God steps in to bring something good out of it. The truth is, when something bad happens, it is the devil reacting to something good that God has started. The Lord once told me, “Tell My people that if they want to understand what I am doing, just look at what the devil is doing and see it in reverse. That is what I am doing, multiplied many times over.”

I see this truth in the Bible. When Christ was born, soldiers were sent to kill all baby boys under the age of two in Bethlehem. The folks in Bethlehem then would have seen only evil. But there were those like Mary who saw God’s goodness. They knew that God had sent a Savior into the world! The killing of the infants was just the devil’s reaction to the gift of salvation that God had sent.

The Lord showed me that this was how we were to look at the bird flu when it hit our region not too long ago. While I was pondering the significance of birds, the Lord showed me Matthew 6:26: “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”

If God takes care of the birds, how much more will He take care of you! So, by attacking the birds with disease, the devil is, in essence, reacting to God’s provision for His people. In other words, he saw that God’s provision had already been released on His people in a big way!

With every new virus that the devil throws at us, you must discern that the devil is trying to pervert and reverse what God is already doing. Then, you will know that something good is going to come out of it. You see, every new strain of virus tells us that God has already released a new anointing of health for His people. And I believe that He releases new levels of prosperity for His people too. So don’t just see the evil. See the good that God is already doing!

SWINE FLU- what's next?

After SARS, there's a SWINE FLU!


Shall I be afraid?

No!

For I declare,

"One thousand and one shall fall on my left hand and ten thousand shall fall on my right hand,
BUT IT SHALL NOT COME NEAR ME and my loved ones!"


Me and my loved ones are FOREVER protected by the blood of Jesus!


Jesus said: “In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world” John 16:33


God is my protector and refuge. Only under His wings, I can rest fully.

I am just glad I have known the TRUTH before anything else could stress and break me apart.

Indeed, the world has a lot of BAD news to share.

And it will never cease to stop.

It's a cycle.

Weird and deadly diseases can break out anywhere, anytime.

Jesus can only say ... REST on Him from all these. and we are safe!

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

I will do just the same.

I want that REST and PEACE that the world can't give.

And it can only come from Jesus.

I have stopped worrying. And I dont wana spend my life on the same pathetic, worrying state EVER again!.

Thank you Jesus for setting me FREE!


Sharing another powerful message from Pastor Joseph Prince ..:)



--- Jesus, Your Good Shepherd And Door ----


John 10:7
7Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

Jesus said that He is the “door of the sheep”. What did He mean? Well, a sheepfold during Jesus’ time had no door which could be opened and closed. The door of the sheepfold was just an opening. In this kind of sheepfold, after the sheep had entered it, the shepherd would sleep at the entrance. The shepherd became, effectively, the “door” of the sheepfold.

When Jesus told His disciples, “I am the good shepherd,” (John 10:11) He also assured them emphatically that He was the “door of the sheep”. He was telling them and us, “Inside My sheepfold, My sheep are always safe, completely protected and kept close under My watchful eyes. And since I am just at the entrance of the sheepfold, nothing, not even the muffled bleat of one of My own, can escape My ears. Also, nothing evil outside the sheepfold can enter and touch My sheep without first coming through Me for I am the door of My sheep.”

So when the fight of life comes knocking on your door and when panic threatens to rise within you, see yourself doubly protected! He is both the good shepherd and the door of His sheep. As your good shepherd, He gave His life for you to redeem you from poverty, sickness and every other curse.

As your door, He keeps out everything evil that He has redeemed you from. Because He shed His blood for you, you are covered and protected within the sheepfold by a blood-stained door. Disaster, destruction and death must pass over you and your family because of His blood on your door. Remember that on the night of the first Passover in Egypt, the destroyer could not enter the houses of the Israelites because of the blood of the lamb on their doors. (Exodus 12:13, 23)

Today, you can live life untroubled and unafraid, knowing that Jesus, your good shepherd and door, protects and preserves you and your family. No evil will befall you or your loved ones because He is your dwelling place and refuge!

Suicide- just like that??

I heard a lot of suicide news lately.
Tsk!
I wish I could help those people in some possible ways
that I can.
Perhaps, sharing words of wisdom based on the Truths
that I know..like on this blog.


Well, I could only wish for that.
Because , by nature, humans are stubborn.
And we have this attitude of not really giving up so easily unless
we get to the end of our rope causing us frustrations, depressions , stress.

Then there goes suicide.



I don't want to make it sound so melodramatic.
But this blog has recorded the greatest pains and fears of my life.
Like any others, I, too was confused. Depressed.Frustrated.
Lost. Rejected. Financially down. Battling for my health.
Losing my breath.

Until now, my financial and career status have not levelled up compared
to some of my friends and colleagues that I know.
My mom is just renting a small room in our province , with a very patient
friend who's been taking of her for a year now. ( I'm blessed on that)
I have no stable savings ...my bank always reaches to up 0 ( ends up to negative
sometimes) and goes back to normal until I get my salary back for a month.
I don't own my own house. I have no property.No car.

I only have JESUS!

Now, you got me on that.

Can you hear me complain?

No.

I cannot complain.

Because I have JESUS!!!
For me, living in this world is not about all my pains,struggles and hurts..
it's all about HIM!

If I continue to live in fears and stress and be controlled in this world. i'd surely die.
But JESUS is the LIFE!

He is the only WAY, The TRUTH and the LIFE!


What about you?
Are there things that are troubling you? Stressing you out until you want to
pull that trigger off your head and lost your soul?

Humans as we are, naturally, we always cater to our own woes and complaints about life.

And then we blame Life why we get to have one and just wished we were dead.

Pathetic way of living , right?

I used to think that way, too.

There was this saddest part of my life where, I questioned God,
"Why He allowed me to be born in this world just to suffer"

I felt life sucked that everytime I always ended up waking up on the wrong side of the bed.
Finding no meaning for everything.

I can say, I almost reached the end of my rope.
Good thing, little prayers here and there have sustained me.
So even when I thought of taking my own life. It was filtered with prayers.
He has kept me well!

*I tell you, don't underestimate little thoughts of you talking to Him.
It does wonders than going to church kneeling all day and say "halleluyah, halleluyah!
But deep in your heart, you don't really mean it.
Maybe, just a show off or something for whatever.
for God knows what's in your heart and when you are sincere.


To sum up.

whatever's making you struggle and hard to breathe
until you fall out of your head at this moment.
I can only say come to Jesus.
Talk to Him like a child does who is sooo lost and doesn't know what to do anymore
but cry.

Come to Jesus.

He has given me LIFE..

He will do the same to you because He loves you so.

Don't take anti-depressants.

Take Jesus!

Don't go to a psychiatrist.

Consult to Jesus!


Yeah!

Just JESUS!


(Good saturday morning everyone. There's a purpose of me being stuck here in my office on a great saturday morning,.
Now I know. )

Me and Jesus by Stellar Kart

I love this song from Stellar Kart!


When there's nowhere else to turn
All your bridges have been burned
Feels like you've hit rock bottom
Don't give up it's not the end
Open up your heart again
When you feel like no one
Understands where you are

[chorus]
Someone loves you even when you don't think so don't you know you got
Me and Jesus by your side through the fight you will never be alone on your own you got me and Jesus

After all that we've been through
Be now you know I've doubted too
But everytime my head was in my
Hands you said to me
Hold on to what we got
This is worth any cost so
Make the most of life
That's borrowed
Love like there's no tomorrow

Start Using Your Measure Of Faith

Start Using Your Measure Of Faith


Romans 12:3
3… God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

As children of God, we should never say, “I don’t have any faith.” To say this is to say that God is a liar because His Word already tells us that “God has dealt to each one a measure of faith”.

Why then does the faith of some seem to be stronger than others?

Well, faith is like muscles. We are all born with a measure of muscles. But some of us develop our muscles better than others. Bodybuilders, for example, exercise their muscles very regularly to make them grow bigger and stronger.

Likewise, your measure of faith grows when you feed and use it. Each time you hear or read God’s Word, you are feeding your faith. When you confess God’s Word and expect good things to happen to you, you are using it. And the more you use it, the more your faith grows.

So use your faith. You could start with headaches, for example. When you have a headache, instead of always running straight for your painkillers, use your faith. Ask God for healing, and trust and thank Him for the healing.

Now, don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with taking medicine. And if you have to go to the doctor, don’t feel condemned either. Just start using your faith at a level you are comfortable with. If you need to go to the doctor, then go in faith, praying, “Abba Father, I am going to the doctor. I am asking You in Jesus’ name to give the doctor wisdom to give me an accurate diagnosis. My trust is not in him but in You.”

And when you take your medicine, don’t just pop in the pills. In faith, say, “Lord, sanctify this medicine,” then take it. This is because some medicines have negative side effects. So when you ask God to sanctify it, He blesses that medicine. And what will be developing in you, growing bigger and possessing your body until it is too widespread, is divine health!

Beloved, you have been given a measure of faith. Start using it, believing that it is this measure of your faith that causes you to draw from the inexhaustible power of a faithful and loving God!

Why God Exist? ( Best Explanation Ever)

BEST EXPLANATION EVER!

This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering
that I have seen:

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.

As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.

They talked about so many things and various subjects.

When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:

"I don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out
in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.

Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?

Would there be abandoned children?

If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.

I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."

The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he
didn't want to start an argument.

The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.

Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with
long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and
unkempt.

The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again

and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.

"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"

"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because

if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and
untrimmed beards, like that man outside."


"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not
come to me."

"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES
exist!

That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him
for help. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

If you think God exists, send this to other people---
If you think God does not exist, delete it!


BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS!!!!!! !

The Cross

A young man was at the end of his rope, seeing no way out, he dropped to his knees in prayer

"Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy a cross to bear."

The Lord replied, "My son, if you can't bear its weight, just place your cross inside this room.

Then, open that other door and pick out any cross you wish."

The man was filled with relief and said, "Thank you Lord," and he did as he was told.

Upon entering the other room, he saw many crosses; some so large the tops were not visible. Then, he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall.

"I'd like that one, Lord," he whispered. The Lord replied, "My son, that is the cross you just brought in."

When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more fortunate than you imagined.


YOUR CROSS

Whatever your cross
Whatever your pain
There will always be sunshine
After the rain

Perhaps you may stumble
Perhaps even fall
But God's always there
To help you through it all

Sad, and thought-provoking...

May God give you the strength and courage to pass this along to everyone on your email buddy list....

I JUST DID!

The Devil and The Duck

The Devil & the Duck (I'M IN THE 93%)
There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm..



He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods.
He practiced in the woods; but he could never hit the target.
Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner.
As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck.










Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved!
In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile; only to see his Sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.



After lunch the next day Grandma said, 'Sally, let's wash the dishes'
But Sally said, 'Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.'
Then she whispered to him, "Remember the duck?'
So Johnny did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, 'I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make supper.'
Sally just smiled and said, 'well that's all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help?
She whispered again, 'Remember the duck?' So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.



After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally's; he finally couldn't stand it any longer.
He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.
Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, 'Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you.'



Thought for the day and every day thereafter:
Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done... And the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.)...whatever it is...You need to know that:
God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing.



He has seen your whole life... He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven. He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you.
The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness; He not only forgives you, but He forgets.


It is by God's grace and mercy that we are saved.
Go ahead and make the difference in someone's life today.
Share this with a friend and always remember:
God is at the window!

How to Treat a Migraine

Ok I got this from my email.

Just read through it..

It's a step by step how-to on treating a migraine.
Well, I consider it as a wordly advice and I have nothing
against this.

Just read on.

I will add in my comment after.

-------How to Treat a Migraine----------

You're going about your day --- working, taking care of kids, relaxing --- when you first feel it. Perhaps it's a spot or two in front of your eyes that won't clear no matter how many times you blink. Perhaps it's the pressure in the back of your neck that's been building without your notice. Or maybe it's the tingle in your fingertips that says "Pay attention --- a migraine is starting."

Below are some tips for how to treat a migraine, but it should be made clear that you should see a doctor and get some medication to either prevent migraines or to treat them when they start. For some of us, migraines are a fact of life, but they can be dealt with.

Here's what to do when you feel a migraine coming on.


Instructions
Difficulty: Moderate
Things You’ll Need:

* Migraine medication Pain medication Ice Dark, quiet room or place to lie down

Step1
Take it seriously. Non-migraineurs might not understand how serious your condition is, but you do. Do not ignore it and hope it will go away. The sooner you deal with it, the better.

Step2
Take your meds. The sooner medication is taken, the quicker it can stop a full-blown migraine from coming on. Take it at the first sign --- even the first suspicion --- of a migraine. Also take a dose of whatever you take for pain such as Motrin, Excedrin for Migraine or Aleve.


Step3
Lie down. If you can pass off your work to someone else, do it as quickly as possible. If you're home with small kids, you might have to put in a video and lie on the couch. Wherever you are, take a break. You are truly ill; take care of yourself accordingly.

Step4
Make it dark. Close the blinds, turn off the lights. Close your eyes.
Step5
Make it quiet. If you're at work, go lie down in your car. At home, turn the phone off and the TV down low.

Step6
Put ice on it. An ice pack adds both pressure and coldness, helping to relieve some of the pain. A package of frozen vegetables wrapped in a towel works well for this since it conforms to the shape of your neck or head.

Step7
Sleep. Sometimes there's nothing to do but sleep while the medication does its job. It's one way to escape the pain until it passes or the meds take care of it.
Step8
Respect the hangover. You might feel wrung out or worn down after a migraine passes. Like with the flu, just be aware that the actual illness may have passed, but you won't be at your best for a day or two.

Step9
Have some private time. It's hard to imagine, but studies have shown that achieving orgasm actually relieves migraine pain. It causes the constricted blood vessels to dilate, freeing the restricted flow of blood that was causing you pain in the first place.



-----------over---------


How do you feel?
Maybe this information is very helpful to you or to someone but to me,
I find it so troublesome.
With all the steps that involve in it, I wonder if I can even start head on STEP 1.
lolx.


Though I have mentioned in my past blogs that God has healed my migraine,
there are times, that I get a little headache here and there.
It's no really a big deal compared to what I used to have for 8 struggling years.

How do I deal with it?

I just close my eyes. Focus on Jesus and say

"By Jesus stripes, I am healed!"

I talk to Him and say, "Lord, i know what I'm feeling right now is just a lying symptom.This is just temporary. My healing 2,000 years ago when you received those blows and whippings is FOREVER! And I am thankful for that.

Thank you Jesus for healing me..."


That simple!

The truth that I was healed 2,000 years ago sets me free!

Now,

I am not trying to get my healing from anything or anyone.

Because I was HEALED!

I AM HEALED!



Miraculously, after an hour or so. I am back on my feet again
having fun...:)

Isn't that what you call a VICTORIOUS LIFE?

Halleluyah!!

So what about you?

Which way do you want to go?

Painter

I love the painter's cool moves while doing his strokes.
At first, I thought he was just playing with the paints.lolx!
Watch till the end and see for yourself.
You will be amazed!

A Prayer for you- Impartation of the Spirit of Wisdom

I love this prayer from Pastor Joseph Prince so
I extracted it from one of his sermons.

Relax now..
After hitting on play...just close your eyes and listen to the prayer.

SATAN'S MEETING: (Read even if you're busy)

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.

In his opening address he said,

"We can't keep Christians from going to church."

"We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth."

"We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their saviour."

"Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken."

"So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ.."

"This is what I want you to do," said the devil:

"Distract them from gaining hold of their Saviour and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!"

"How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.

"Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered..

"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow."

"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles."

"Keep them from spending time with their children."

"As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!"

"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice."

"Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive." To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music constantly."

"This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ."

"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers."

"Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day."

"Invade their driving moments with billboards."

"Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products, services and false hopes.."

"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives. "

"Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night."

"Give them headaches too! "

"If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere."

"That will fragment their families quickly!"

"Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas."

"Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death."

"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive."

"Have them return from their recreation exhausted."

"Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead."

"Keep them busy, busy, busy!"

"And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences. "

"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Jesus."

"Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause."

"It will work!"

"It will work!"

It was quite a plan!

The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and there.

Having little time for their God or their families.

Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives.

I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes?

You be the judge!!!!!

Does "BUSY" mean:
B-eing

U-nder

S-atan's

Y-oke?

Please pass this on, if you aren't too BUSY!

I don't think I know 10 people who would admit they love Jesus.

Do You Love Him?

IF YOU LOVE JESUS, PASS THIS ON!!!!!!!

When ego gets a bad rap!

"Ego gets a bad rap. It can be good sometimes to have ego in the sense that you know your worth and gifts. It's called positive ego.

Today, focus on what you like about yourself. The more you know yourself, the more you can do in the world."


--------------


I received this message from a facebook friend and I have nothing against this.

Talk about our ego.

Well, I have learnt that it can do so much .

It can uplift , hurt and confuse us.

Positive or negative ego. It exists.

Look at the last line. The world says,

"Today, focus on what you like about yourself. The more you know yourself, the more you can do in the world."

I can focus on so many things that I like about myself.

Maybe I think I'm sweet, caring, nice, so-good-to-be-true individual
and much more that'll make me feel I'm worth
your time and attention...( But honestly, I'm not.)
But wait! Those lies can make me feel better. So let me have the stage.

But for how long?

an hour? a week?a few seconds?

Unfortunately, I'm not the kind of person who is satisfied in getting
my happiness meter up by depending on my external circumstance or
the things around me.

When I was a kid, getting a new toy was a total happiness for me.
But after few weeks of playing with it, I got bored.
Then I was up into some toy hunting again to satisfy myself.

That cycle continued to live up in my system till I finished college
and started a career.

I was never contented for anything else that came my way.

At the back of my mind, I found it weird.

"Something must be wrong in me", so I thought.


Let's read this again.

"Today, focus on what you like about yourself. The more you know yourself, the more you can do in the world."

Well, I thought I got to know myself well enough
that I ruled out that something was really wrong with me.

So I tried to seek answers from how-to-self-books , personality development
seminars and retreats.

And guess what?

The more I tried to focus on myself and got to know more of me deeply,
the more I got so frustrated and depressed.
How to do something in the world in a state like this?

My emotions were unstable, inconsistent and needed a lot
of reminding to feed on.

I know I can never go so far in this state.

Because the more I focused on myself the more I saw a lot of darkness, failures,
disappointments,sadness and fears not even in me but around me as well.
It was sickening and it felt like I was on my own.

So what did I do?


I changed my mind. and focused on JESUS..

Yeah, just focused on Jesus and nothing else.



How to focus on Jesus?

I listen and read to a lot of good GRACE teachings
and just dive right in to His beauty.
How He wants me to have PEACE that the world can't give.
How He heals and restores my health.
How He comforts me with His songs of praise.
How He protects me from any harm and accidents under His wings.
How I feel so righteous with Him even if I fall and misbehave.
How He stretched His hands out on the cross and sweat out blood to
redeem me from all sicknesses and take me out of poverty.
How He just loves to love me unconditionally.
How He enjoys me getting a lot of energy from Him.

It's amazing!

Woooooow!

Now, I can smile!:)

It's indeed pure beauty. And I feel so light.

He is indeed the Light!

Now you know one of my secrets.

Everytime you fail or feel depress and frustrated,
you have a choice.
You can read self-help books, go to retreats which
I think is just temporary self-gratification

or

you can just focus on JESUS and rest from it all.

Which habit do you like?

Swedish church unveils Lego Jesus statue for Easter

Just read this news from yahoo.
I am glad Sweden is for Jesus too!




STOCKHOLM (AFP) - - While most Christians mark Easter with prayers and song, one Swedish church opened its mass Sunday by unveiling a life-size Lego statue of Jesus Christ, its pastor told AFP.

Churchgoers had donated nearly 30,000 Lego bricks to build the 1.78 metre (5.8 foot) high statue, said Per Wilder, the pastor of the Oensta Gryta Church in Vaesteras, about 110 kilometres (70 miles) west of Stockholm.

"This work began a year and a half ago so we saw that the initiation date was fitting in well (with this year's Easter holiday)," Wilder said.

"It is a fantastic installation and it will be there as long as we think it is in a good spot," he said.

"All those I spoke with were full of praise, saying how fantastic the model looks and how much good work we put into this," Wilder said.

The model was based on Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsens's 19th century work Christus, which depicts the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Wilder said the statue would remain permanently at the church and there were no plans to sell it to raise funds.

Count On God’s Forgiveness

I am forever thankful for Jesus for His blood.
He died because of me and God sees me now spotless and without sin.
Isn't that great?

My failures and wrongdoings will always try to catch up with me.
Point a finger at me, nagging me.

But Jesus' blood covers me.And that's all I have.
I will never ever let the TRUTH be taken away from me.

Because that is only my PEACE.

Yes.

I am just human. I can't help sometimes but misbehave.

If I misbehave?

I just focus on the cross.

If I get so frustrated?

I focus on Jesus sacrifice.

I just keep focusing on JEsus.

You know why?

BEcause He is my PEACE from above all these.

Count On God’s Forgiveness


Hebrews 10:2
2... For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins.

What are you more conscious of today? Your sins or the fact that you have been forgiven? My friend, don’t be conscious of your sins. Be conscious instead of Jesus and His finished work. The Lamb of God has taken away all your sins at the cross, so count on the fact that you are a forgiven child of God!

No matter what has happened or what you have done, God wants you to know that because of His Son’s finished work, He will be merciful to your unrighteousness, and your sins and lawless deeds He will remember no more. (Hebrews 8:12)

That is why you should not be conscious of your sins. In fact, when you are sin-conscious, the devil brings in condemnation, and the more you receive it and condemn yourself, the more you will find yourself unforgiving toward yourself and even others.

I was told by a pastor friend that when a lady, who had cancer on her face, asked for prayer for healing, the Lord revealed to him that it was self-hatred that was keeping her from receiving her healing. She could not forgive herself and was full of self-condemnation.

When she realized her problem, she counted on the fact that God was merciful to her unrighteousness and that she was already forgiven. She received the love of God. Then, right before the pastor’s eyes, her whole face changed — she received her healing that very moment!

Something happens when you believe that you are forgiven. That is why God says to you, “I want you to believe that all your sins I will remember no more. I want you to believe that you are My child enjoying My mercy and that you can always count on My forgiveness.”

Beloved, remember that all your sins have already been paid for by Jesus on the cross. And the more you count on the fact that you have the Father’s forgiveness and that He does not condemn you because of Jesus’ finished work, the more sin and its effects — sickness, hatred, lack and so on — will lose their grip on you. You will find yourself walking in a greater measure of God’s grace and blessings!

Why The Finished Work Begins In Your Mind

Positive and negative thoughts have been playin on my mind lately.
So I keep listening to this sermon.

...then I am at peace again.

Sometimes, if bad thoughts are attacking me..
I fight it with the Word.
I just listen and listen and listen to Pastor Prince's cd sermon
and every fear that's building up
inside of me seems have no choice but to go away.

This has become my getaway.

Not another vacation ..
not a massage (well, a massage would help but temporarily)
not another change of job or place or whatever.

I just sit back , relax and listen.

Let's listen together my friends and be at peace...:)

Hey, Sandra! Got this link from your blog.
I have been listening to Hillsong's version on this one.
Undeniably, this classic, oldie version sounds even cooler.

Jesus — King And Lord Over The Storm

As of now, I can say, I am in a storm.
Financially, yes!
My finances are dwindling.
I wish to get out of this real soon.

I am hoping for a miracle...

Fortunately, I am a child of God now..
So, I don't want to spend my time and energy thinking
on how to deal with it...alone..
For I know that it will only frustrate and stress me out big time.

I have had enough of those!!

My focus now, is in JESUS.

He is my only way. My only way out!

That's why.
just as these circumstances may come every now and then
to shake me down.. I DO NOT FEAR!

I am above all my circumstances because
Jesus is my redeemer.

How is He going to deal with it?
I don't know.

For now, the message I'm going to share with you
is keeping my soul at peace.

Inspite of everything that's happening around me,

I am at peace.

Amazing!

Now,

in the midst of my confusions,
I still end up reading His words, listening to His praises.

God does not promised a perfect life in this world,

But He did promise , that He shall deliver us from
everything bad that's coming our way!

So , stand still and feel His power!

Jesus — King And Lord Over The Storm


Matthew 14:27
27But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”

Are you going through a dark, difficult moment in your life? Perhaps the storm just rages on with no let-up and you are trembling in fear. You feel that any time now, you may just cave in and go under because you cannot beat this storm.

Be comforted that Jesus sees what you are going through and He always comes to where you are in your darkest hour. He did that for His disciples one stormy night on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus came, walking on the stormy waters, walking on top of the problem that was threatening to overwhelm them. He is indeed the King and Lord over the storms!

When your eyes are on Christ, even though the storms are raging and the winds are blowing, you will know that you are above your troubles and circumstances. When people ask you how you are doing under the circumstances, tell them, “I am not under the circumstances. I am on top of them because my God is above all!”

Don’t be fearful. He will come to you walking on the stormy waters. Hear His comforting voice telling you, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”

And as you behold Jesus, you become like Him. You will find yourself doing things you did not know you could do. You will, like Peter, walk on water. This happens when you are occupied with the person of Jesus, with His resources, love, wisdom, ability, power and majesty.

My friend, even during the times when you take your eyes off Jesus, He never takes His eyes off you. And when you cry out to Him, He will immediately stretch out His hand to catch hold of you. You will not go under.

There may be times that you are not able to find your way back. Jesus will then hold your hand and walk you back to the boat. And like Peter, you will realize that with your hand in His, the storm will come to a standstill!

‘I Am Who I Am’

Howaaaah!

Hope it will do the same thing to you too in
whatever situation you are in right now.

You may suffer pains, heartaches,great loss, financial setbacks
..I say.

J E S U S is the only way!



What a great Monday morning!

‘I Am Who I Am’


Exodus 3:14
14And God said to Moses, “I am who I am.”…

Whatever your challenge is today, whether it is physical, emotional, financial or marital, the great I Am declares to you: “I am to you what you need Me to be.”

Do you need healing? He says, “I am the Lord who heals you. (Exodus 15:26) And as you believe Me, you will see your healing manifest thirtyfold, sixtyfold and a hundredfold.”

Are you groping in the dark, not knowing what to do? He says, “I am the light of the world. (John 8:12) When you walk in Me, you will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Are you looking for a way out of a bad situation? He says, “I am your deliverer. I will reach down from on high, take hold of your hand and draw you out of the deep waters.” (Psalm 18:2, 16)

Are you wondering if there is more to life than merely existing from day to day? He says, “I am the resurrection and the life. (John 11:25) I came to give you life. And where there is life, there cannot be death. You will have life and life more abundantly.” (John 10:10)

Are you fearful of what is ahead of you? He says, “I am the good shepherd (John 10:11), who leads you to pastures of tender, green grass and waters of rest. You will not suffer lack.” (Psalm 23:1–3)

Are you confused by the opinions and reports of man? He says, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last. (Revelation 1:11) I have the final word in your life. The doctors do not have the final word. The experts do not have the final word. I have the first word and the last word in your situation.”

My friend, do not be fearful of the problems you face. The great I Am declares to you, “Fear not! For I am to you what you need Me to be!

A Plane ride with God...

You Already Are, You Already Have ( Because I have a cool God!)

2years ago, whenever I get a very bad headache or felt very sick
I would pray to God like this,
"God, please heal my headache,my sickness. I beg you please
because I don't know what to believe now.
I know I am not worthy of your healing because I am like this, I did this,
I haven't done that. I am not deserving to get your healing ,Lord but
pleeeasse, heal me!"

This prayer was so overused by me that each time I attended
church, I would feel guilty for asking Him of so many things,
especially Healing.

I was wondering whether He ever gets tired of hearing this.

Then a feeling was rooted in me that He would never heal me because
I felt I wasn't really worth it.

So sad, right?

At those times of staying on that state, I had discomforts.
I knew deep within that I wasn't praying the right way.
I thought there must be some ways of reaching to God in a not
so pathetic way.

I wanted to have a cool God who doesn't want me to do so many things
just to please Him.
To make me kneel on the floor and pray alot and still heals me.
Someone who can accept who and what I really am because He created me.

And guess what!

There is a cool God.

My God is a cool God!!

And I found out that
He loves me sooooo much that 2,000 years ago
He sent His only Son, Jesus to be my healing.

Yes!

I was healed 2,000 years ago.
And He told me, that all I gotta do is just to believe
and accept it.just like that!

Some Christians would say, hey! yes God is good but you gotta do your part.
Go to the doctor!

Oh yeah !

I have been to the doctor a million times.
And I am not just satisfied of getting a little touch of here and there
then get some paper back with all the meds and prescriptions.

I want the original creator to see me thru.
To check on what's really going on inside my head, my body,
organs, intestines, stomach, blood,lungs. etc.

You can always go to the doctor for some facts and to know
physically what's wrong with you. That's a normal thing to do.


But me, going to the doctor is not really my thing...

... which leads me to Him.
Because He is my only way!


Although I am so well right now,
I know, there will always be something wrong inside of me
and some parts of my body.
or
I may still have my hyperthyroidism but
right now, I can still boldly say.

By Jesus stripes, I am healed!

I am not going to be healed, BECAUSE I AM HEALED!
Jesus took all my diseases when He received those blows and whippings.
So, today!
I can live freely!
Free from all sickness and any type of diseases!


Now, I am so glad I have switched my mind and turned to JESUS as my healer!

For almost 3 years now, I have never catched a fever, flu, or cough.

Sometimes, colds or allergies can get in to me but it wouldn't even stay
long.

Halleluyah!!

To back this all up,
pls. read on for another powerful message from Pastor Joseph Prince.

Stay healthy my friends...


If you are too busy to go to the doctor, He is the only way.

Come to your original healer..He just needs you to have that FAITH
and He will do the rest.

You Already Are, You Already Have


Mark 11:24
24Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

God’s Word tells us that we can have what we ask for in prayer — by simply believing that we already have it! As you are praying, know that you already have your answer or breakthrough — “believe that you receive them”. The Bible also tells us that we already have whatever we are praying for because we are already blessed with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ. (Ephesians 1:3)

And you are in Christ the moment you received Him as your Savior. So when you pray, you are actually releasing your faith to lay hold of what you already have in Christ. And as you keep saying that you already have it (Mark 11:23), you will see the manifestation of it in the natural realm.

In one of our church camps, a church member shared about the back problem she had had for 15 years as a result of a fall from her rooftop. She needed an operation to help stop the shooting pains in her spine. She had also been taking anti-stress pills for five years.

After coming to church, she realized that she had already received her healing through the finished work of Christ. Refusing the operation and even the pills, she would rebuke the pain which kept coming back, saying, “In Jesus, I believe I am healed. I am not trying or going to be healed. I am already healed. I have a brand new backbone for I am in Christ. As Christ is, so am I in this world.” It was not very long before this sister saw the manifestation of her healing.

Sometimes, the symptoms of a sickness or lack may return and you think that you still have not received your blessing. That is the time to release your faith and declare that you already have it. You are not confessing to get it. You are confessing because you already have it in Christ!

My friend, the Bible tells us that Christ is in us. (Colossians 1:27) This means that right now, your healing, prosperity, wellness, family’s well-being and everything your heart desires are in you. So say, “I have everything I need in Christ right now!”
