Good morning world!
You are God's beloved ! Be blessed!!!
Your Father’s Heart
Matthew 7:11
11If 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!
Let me tell you a true story I heard. There was a pastor whose young child was diagnosed with cancer. The day his boy was scheduled for an operation, this father cried out to God, “God, I’m almost 30 years old, but my boy is only about three months old. Why don’t you just take some years off my life and give them to my boy?”
Then, from deep within him, he heard the voice of God say, “I am not like that.” When the man heard that, he realized immediately that his son’s sickness was not from God. He also realized that if he, who has faults, could want his child well, how much more his heavenly Father. So he changed his prayer and said, “Father God, I come against this sickness and I ask you for healing for my child.” That day, on the operating table, the surgeons could find no trace of cancer in the child!
Today, God wants you to know that He is not the kind of Father who wants you sick and defeated, keeps you poor and wanting, refuses to provide for your needs and denies you your blessings.
When my daughter Jessica was younger, I bought a beautiful teddy bear for her. Teddy bears are her favorite toys and I could not wait to see her joy when she saw it. My joy is to see her happy. When she is sick and has difficulty sleeping at night, it hurts me to hear her cry. When she is crying, I cannot ignore her cries. I enter into her discomfort and pain even though I know that her sickness is something that will pass shortly. When she is in pain, I feel the pain too. When she is sad, I am sad too.
I believe that God gives us children to help us understand what His Father-heart is like. His joy is to enter into your joy and see you happy. If you, in spite of your faults, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to you when you ask Him! My prayer today is that you will know just how much your Father loves you!

The Teacher Of All Things Is In You
The Teacher Of All Things Is In You
John 14:26
26But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things…
If you are asking whom or where you can go to to get the help you need, ask no more. Just turn to God who has already promised you the Helper, the Holy Spirit whom He has sent in Jesus’ name to dwell in you.
The Holy Spirit will teach you all things. Yes, teach you all things! Do you really believe that? Or are you like some who believe that you seek God’s counsel only for spiritual things, but consult “professional” help for all other things in your life?
God does not want you to run to and rely on worldly wisdom. Now, there is nothing wrong with going to a doctor or engaging a financial consultant, but God wants you to come to Him first for counsel and direction. That is why He has sent the Holy Spirit, the Counselor (John 16:7, NIV), to teach you all things. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth and He will guide you into all truth. (John 16:13)
The apostle John said, “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things… the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things…” (1 John 2:20, 27)
So the way God teaches you is through the anointing within. It is a continuous anointing. In any particular situation, He is anointing you from within, teaching you by the presence or absence of His peace.
For example, a deal you are considering may sound very reasonable. But if you don’t have the peace in your spirit, don’t sign on the dotted line. Sign only when you have the peace. Be led by His peace and you will find that your heart will not be troubled, neither will it be afraid. (John 14:27)
When you follow that peace which only God can give to you as an inward witness, good things and even miracles will come forth!

God Is For You, Not Against You
God Is For You, Not Against You
Romans 8:31
31What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Are you faced with challenges in your life right now? Are you having marital problems and financial woes? Maybe your child is going astray or an old illness has returned. What then will you say to all these things?
Do you know what God wants you to say? He wants you to say, “If God is for me, who can be against me?”
If you knew that the President or the Prime Minister was for you, you might believe that everything will be okay. But you have an even better backing! The Bible tells us that God, the Almighty, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, is for you! What problem can fasten its grip on you when the Almighty God is for you? Can the devil come successfully against you with God on your side?
If God is for you today, if God is for you right now, you don’t have to moan, “If only I had this… If only I didn’t say that…” And you don’t have to worry about the future: “What if this happens… What if we don’t have enough…” My friend, regretting the past and worrying about the future won’t change anything. Look to your heavenly Father, instead. Because He is for you at this present moment, you can be confident that He will help you and provide for you.
Beloved, God sent His Son to die for you. And Jesus gave you a blood-bought right to an abundant life full of meaning and purpose! He gave you a blood-bought right to walk in divine health all the days of your life! He gave you a blood-bought right to prosperity even when the economy goes down!
You have all these things not because you deserve them, but because Jesus shed His blood and gave you the right to have them. All these blessings are yours today because God is for you! And if God is for you, who can be against you!

Come To The River by Parachute Band
Let me drink from the living water,
Bringing life to my very core.
In the midst of my desperation, Jesus.
When I'm dry running on the empty,
Flow your streams of life through me.
You're the life giving water, Jesus.
Come, Come, Come to the river,
You are the living water.
Wash me clean, wash me clean.
In this place we have found freedom,
Cleansing streams have set us free.
You are all that we ever need, Jesus, Jesus.
Come, Come, Come to the river,
You are the living water.
Wash me clean, wash me clean.
Come, Come, Come to the river,
You are the living water.
Come through me, wash me clean.

No one else will ever take Your place, Your place.
I give You all of my days
No one else will ever take Your place, Your place.
Come, Come, Come to the river,
You are the living water.
Wash me clean, wash me clean.
Come, Come, Come to the river,
You are the living water.
Flow through me, wash me clean.
Let me drink from the living water,
Bringing life to my very core.
In the midst of my desperation, Jesus.
When I'm dry running on the empty,
Flow your streams of life through me.
You're the life giving water, Jesus.
Come, Come, Come to the river,
You are the living water.
Wash me clean, wash me clean.
In this place we have found freedom,
Cleansing streams have set us free.

Come, Come, Come to the river,
You are the living water.
Come through me, wash me clean.

No one else will ever take Your place, Your place.
Come, Come, Come to the river,
You are the living water.

By Jesus’ Stripes You Are Healed
Just what I needed because I feel a little unwell today.
As it is written, "By Jesus stripes I am healed!!!"
Wellness for everyone who believes!
Halleluyaaaaah!!!
-----
By Jesus’ Stripes You Are Healed
Isaiah 53:5
5… The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.
You know, one of the biggest outcries against Mel Gibson’s movie, The Passion Of The Christ, was that it was too violent, especially the part where Jesus was scourged.
Let me tell you this: It was not violent enough! The Bible says that at the cross, Jesus’ visage was marred beyond that of any man. (Isaiah 52:14) In the movie, even after all the beatings, the actor James Caviezel, who played Jesus, still looked quite handsome.
But the reality is that when Jesus hung on the cross, He had “no form or comeliness… there is no beauty that we should desire Him”. (Isaiah 53:2) He was beaten to a pulp until His face looked like jelly hanging out!
In the movie, when they scourged Him, only a small portion of His bones was exposed, so it was still quite tidy. But the messianic psalms say, “The plowers plowed on my back; they made their furrows long” (Psalm 129:3), and “I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me”. (Psalm 22:17) All His bones were exposed!
My friend, He was thinking of you when the soldiers tied Him to the scourging post. As they raised their whips, He said, “Let it all come on Me!”
But what came on Him was not just the whip stripping the flesh off His bare back, but your sicknesses and diseases. Each time He was whipped, every form of sickness and disease, including arthritis, cancer, diabetes, bird flu and dengue fever, came upon Him. “The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.”
Today, healing is your right because Jesus has paid the price for your healing. So if the devil says, “You cannot be healed,” just declare, “Jesus has paid for my healing. Disease has no right to be in my body. I am healed in Jesus’ name!”
Every curse of sickness that was supposed to fall on you fell on Jesus instead. He bore every one of those stripes, so that you can walk in divine health all the days of your life. The price has been paid so that you can rise up and get out of your bed of affliction!

Carrot, Egg and Coffee
Carrot, Egg and Coffee ,,,,
A carrot, an egg, and a cup of
coffee...you will never look at a cup of
coffee the same way again.
A young woman went to her mother and
told her about her life and how things
were so hard for her. She did not know
how she was going to make it and wanted
to give up. She was tired of fighting
and struggling. It seemed as one problem
was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She
filled three pots with water and placed
each on a high fire. Soon the pots came
to boil. In the first she placed
carrots, in the second she placed eggs,
and in the last she placed ground coffee
beans. She let them sit and boil,
without saying a word. In about twenty
minutes she turned off the burners. She
fished
the carrots out and placed them in a
bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed
them in a bowl. Then she ladled the
coffee out and placed it in a bowl.
Turning to her daughter, she asked,
"Tell me what you see."
"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.
Her mother brought her closer and asked
her to feel the carrots. She did and
noted that they were soft. The mother
then asked the daughter to take an egg
and break it. After pulling off the
shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.
Finally, the mother asked the daughter
to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled
as she tasted its rich aroma. The
daughter then asked, "What does it mean,
mother?"
Her mother explained that each of these
objects had faced the same adversity:
boiling water. Each reacted differently.
The carrot went in strong, hard, and
unrelenting. However, after being
subjected to the boiling water, it
softened and became weak. The egg had
been fragile. Its thin outer shell had
protected its liquid interior, but after
sitting in the boiling water, its inside
became hardened. The ground coffee beans
were unique, however. After they were
in the boiling water, they had changed
the water.
"Which are you?" she asked her daughter.
"When adversity knocks on your door, how
do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg
or a coffee bean?
Think of this: Which am I?
Am I the carrot that seems strong, but
with pain and adversity do I wilt and
become soft and lose my strength?
Am I the egg that starts with a
malleable heart, but changes with the
heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but
after a death, a breakup, a financial
hardship or some other trial, have I
become hardened and stiff? Does my shell
look the same, but on the inside am I
bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and
hardened heart?
Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean
actually changes the hot water, the very
circumstance that brings the pain. When
the water gets hot, it releases the
fragrance and flavor.
If you are like the bean, when things
are at their worst, you get better and
change the situation around you. When
the hour is the darkest and trials are
their greatest, do you elevate yourself
to another level?
How do you handle adversity? Are you a
carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
May you have enough happiness to make
you sweet, enough trials to make you
strong, enough sorrow to keep you human
and enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarily
have the best of everything; they just
make the most of everything that comes
along their way.
The brightest future will always be
based on a forgotten past; you can't go
forward in life until you let go of your
past failures and heartaches.
~~~~~~~~*~~~ ~~~~~
You might want to send this message to
those people who mean something to you
(I JUST DID);
to those who have touched your life in
one way or another;
to those who make you smile when you
really need it;
to those who make you see the brighter
side of things when you are really down.
To those whose friendship you appreciate;
to those who are so meaningful in your
life.
If you don't send it, you will just miss
out on the opportunity
to brighten someone's day with this message!

Facts Change But God’s Word Remains
Facts Change But God’s Word Remains
John 8:32
32And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Consider the cold, hard facts that these three people faced: The aunt of a lady in our church saw her X-ray which showed that one of her two kidneys was cancerous. A couple in our church read their medical reports which said that they would never be able to produce a child. A lady in our church who acted as a guarantor ended up being asked by the finance company to pay it S$34 million.
When such situations hit us and we allow the facts to settle in our hearts, we end up feeling greatly troubled. But when we let the truths of God’s Word settle them all, we will sense the Holy Spirit bearing witness to the truths that we are believing. He is the Spirit of truth. (John 16:13) He is not the Spirit of facts and does not bear witness to facts.
It may be a fact that you are sick. The doctors say that you are sick. The X-ray film shows that you are sick. But God’s Word says that by Jesus’ stripes you are healed! (Isaiah 53:5) That is the truth about your situation. What is the difference between fact and truth? Facts change, but truth — God’s Word — remains!
When God’s people choose to defy the facts and walk instead in His truths regarding their situations, the Holy Spirit in them will bear witness to the truths that they are believing.
The lady with the cancerous kidney underwent an operation to remove the organ. But praise God, she received supernatural restoration as later X-rays showed two healthy kidneys instead of one! God had formed a new kidney for her!
The childless couple received their miracle bundle of joy after seven years. Today, they are proud parents of not one, but four children!
The church member with the S$34 million debt told the finance company that it was not being fair to her and that God would protect her. The company’s management miraculously decided to cancel her debt!
The next time you are hit by disturbing facts, let God’s Word settle the truth about your situation. And as the Holy Spirit bears witness to the truths that you are believing, the facts will change and you will receive your miracle!

John 8:32
32And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Consider the cold, hard facts that these three people faced: The aunt of a lady in our church saw her X-ray which showed that one of her two kidneys was cancerous. A couple in our church read their medical reports which said that they would never be able to produce a child. A lady in our church who acted as a guarantor ended up being asked by the finance company to pay it S$34 million.

"Beautiful" by Kari Jobe with lyrics
Here before Your alter
I am letting go of all I've held
Of every motive, every burden
Everything that's of myself
And I just wanna wait on You, my God
I just wanna dwell on who You are
Beautiful, beautiful
Oh, I am lost for more to say
Beautiful, beautiful
Oh Lord You're beautiful to me
Here in Your presence
I am not afraid of brokenness
To wash Your feet with humble tears
I would be poured out till nothing's left
And I just wanna wait on You, my God
I just wanna dwell on who You are
Beautiful, beautiful
Oh, I am lost for more to say
Beautiful, beautiful
Oh Lord You're beautiful to me
Beautiful
You're beautiful, oh You're beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Holy, holy, holy You are, You are
Holy, holy, holy You are, You are
Holy, holy, holy You are, You are
Holy, holy, holy You are, You are
Beautiful, beautiful
Oh, I am lost for more to say
Beautiful, beautiful
Oh Lord You're beautiful to me
You're beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful
Goodbye "death", Hello "LIFE"!!!!

"You Are For Me" by Kari Jobe with lyrics
So faithful
So constant
So loving and so true
So powerful in all you do
You fill me
You see me
You know my every move
You love for me to sing to you
I know that you are for me
I know that you are for me
I know that you will never forsake me in my weakness
I know that you have come down
Even if to write upon my heart
To remind me who you are
So patient
So gracious
So merciful and true
So wonderful in all you do
You fill me
You see me
You know my every move
You love for me to sing to you
I know that you are for me
I know that you are for me
I know that you will never forsake me in my weakness
I know that you have come down
Even if to write upon my heart
To remind me that
I know that you are for me
I know that you are for me
I know that you will never forsake me in my weakness
I know that you have come down
Even if to write upon my heart
To remind me who you are
Want to share this with you. ..
A good friend of mine from South Africa have shared this with me.
I find the words in here are powerful and have helped me in my faith so now I'm sharing this to you.
It's quite long so may I request that you read or pray this at your most comfortable time. Maybe just before dozing off.
No hurry or stress.
Just take your time and enjoy
His presence while you commune with Him.
Shalom....
-Training-Wheel Prayer
for Ministry-
Lord, I am so grateful that you have saved me, are healing me and teaching me how to walk in the Spirit, and that you are going to use me in the manner for which you created me. I bind my body, soul, and spirit to your will and purposes for my life. I bind my mind to the mind of Christ, I bind my will to your will, and I bind m emotions to the control of the Holy Spirit.
I bind my feet to the paths that you have ordained for me to walk: to the mountains and to the valleys, to the dark alley ways and to the bright streets. I loose all preconceived ideas and patterns of thinking that I have ever had about “my ministry, or about other’s ministries that I have either coveted or not understood. I surrender all my dreams,, visions, plans, and preparations to your will. I loose any wrong attitudes, motives, or desires that my soul is holding on to. I loose all of the offence’s I’ve ever held on to, all of the unforgiveness, all of the hurt feelings from when I felt I was being overlooked.
Lord, I want my one desire for ministry to be that your will is always able accomplished in and prospered through my life. I know that I need to be a clean, empty vessel in order for that to happen. I want to be emptied out of all of the things of this world, of my old nature, of man’ ways and plans, of preconceived ideas, of religious and doctrinal mind-sets I have allowed to form in my soul. I don’t want to leak out any ungodly mixture into my ministry, only a flowing forth of the anointing of your Holy Spirit.
Let the fruit of your Holy Spirit fill me as I loose and strip away the old grave clothes of my soul. I want show forth the unique characteristics you have formed in me, but I don’t want any attitude to frame them except love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. You Word says that those who belong to Christ will be able to manifest these fruits of the Spirit, because they have crucified their sinful nature with its old passions and desires. Lord, I loose the control and power of my old nature –my unsurrendered soul—and I loose all wrong desires and passions from my unsurrendered will.
Let me minister your love to those I come in contact with every day. Let me remember that love never fails, it is always patient and kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, nor is it proud. Love is never rude or self-seeking, not easily angered. Lord, above all else, teach me to remember that love keeps no record of wrongs and offences. I loose, crucify, server, and strip away my soul’s desire t keep files and accounts on others who have rubbed me the wrong way.
Show me how to desire only to protect others in their struggles, instead of wanting to expose their faults. I know your Holy Spirit in me can always protect me, so I can offer non-judgemental trust to all. Let me remember to always keep giving out your love to the world, showing them how you have changed my life.
Father, keep turning up the heat of your refining fire to get all dross out of me. I want to be as pure as the finest gold that is nearly transparent. Only then will others see just Jesus in every act of ministry that I manifest. I bind myself to the paths you have ordained for me to walk, to your timing, as well as to the paths, places, doors, divine appointments, and assignments you have purposed for me. In Jesus name, Amen!

My Daily Verse
“I will never leave you nor forsake you!” (Hebrews 13:5).
Good morning world. Rise up and shine!!!!!!
HALLELUYAAAAAH!!!
Good morning world. Rise up and shine!!!!!!
HALLELUYAAAAAH!!!
Jesus Took Your Place So That You Can Take His
Halleluyaaaaaaaah!!!
Good morning world!:)
Jesus Took Your Place So That You Can Take His
Matthew 27:46
46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
Do you know that it was at the cross that Jesus addressed His Father as “God” for the first time? He had always addressed His Father as “Father”. But at Calvary’s tree, He addressed His Father as “God”.
Jesus lost that Father-Son relationship when He was representing you and carrying your sins at the cross so that today, you can call God “Abba! Father!” (Romans 8:15) and have a loving father-son relationship with God forever. Jesus was forsaken by God and His world became very dark on that lonely hill so that in your darkest hour, God will always say to you, “I will never leave you nor forsake you!” (Hebrews 13:5)
At the time when Jesus needed God most, God turned His back on Him. God had to turn His back on His Son because His eyes are too holy to behold all the sin that was in His Son’s body. And because God turned His back on Jesus, He will never turn His back on you. Instead, you will see God’s face of favor shining on you all the time!
Jesus also took your place of no protection at the cross. For the first time, He gave up divine protection so that you can have it every day of your life! And because He became sin, He took your curse at the cross so that today, as you take His gift of righteousness, you receive only blessings from God.
Jesus received the full brunt of God’s wrath in His body once and for all when He carried your sins. All of God’s anger and condemnation fell on Him, consuming all your sins until God’s wrath was exhausted.
Today, God is not angry with you. The body of Jesus absorbed everything — your sins, curses, and God’s anger and condemnation. So live life expecting to see not the judgment, but the goodness and blessings of God!

Don’t Look To Your Faith, Look To Jesus
This is the best advice I received this day. So I am sharing with you.
I have no condemnation with my faith anymore. I know it will never be perfected no matter how much I try to improve!
Be blessed!
Halleluyaaaaah!!
Don’t Look To Your Faith, Look To Jesus
Hebrews 12:2
2looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith...
If you are sick, you must know that you are already healed because of the finished work of Christ. Don’t ask, “Do I have enough faith to be healed? Do I have the right kind of faith to be healed? What if I am lacking in faith?” You are focusing on yourself and your faith, instead of Christ and His finished work.
You should be asking, “Did Jesus take away this sickness? If He did, then He must have done a perfect work.” In other words, fix your eyes on Jesus and His perfect work.
AB Simpson, who lived in the 19th century, wrote an article entitled Himself. In it, he mentioned his exhausted nervous system, and broken-down heart which could have proved fatal any time. So he sought the Lord for healing. God showed him Matthew 8:17, which says that Jesus “Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses”.
AB Simpson said that though he believed that Jesus had borne away his sicknesses, he saw many hindrances which stood between him and his healing. And they all boiled down to one thing — his preoccupation with his faith! He had believed that if only he had the “right” kind of faith, he would receive his healing instantly.
He eventually came to the realization that he had to remove that last hindrance — his focus on his faith — and just rest in the finished work of Christ. That revelation marked his complete recovery from his sicknesses.
When you ask yourself, “Do I have enough faith?” you have already put faith as a hindrance between you and Jesus’ finished work. The more you focus on your faith, the more faith slips away. But if you focus on the finished work of Christ and see God’s grace toward you, God sees that as faith! Without realizing it, faith is there in your heart to believe that you will not die of what Christ Himself has already borne away completely for you, and you will see your miracle manifest!

Let Your Heart Be Established By Grace
Let Your Heart Be Established By Grace
Hebrews 13:9
9… it is good that the heart be established by grace…
God does not want your heart full of worries and fears, tossed and turned by every challenge that comes your way. He wants your heart at rest and established by His grace toward you.
But when you think that the breakthroughs to your challenges depend on your ability to obey God, then your heart will not be at rest. It will be full of worries and anxieties. Why? Because you can never obey God perfectly.
But when you depend on God’s grace, that is, His undeserved, unmerited favor, the opposite happens — your heart becomes established. When you know that the only thing that qualifies you to receive God’s blessings is faith in the finished work of Christ, your heart becomes established. Then, you will walk without the fear of your troubles swallowing you up. You will walk with full assurance that His blessings will be manifested in your life.
My friend, God wants your heart established, knowing that His righteousness, healing, protection and prosperity are yours — all paid for by Jesus’ finished work at the cross. God’s blessings are sure in your life because they are not dependent on your ability to keep His laws, but Jesus’ perfect obedience.
You see, under the old covenant, you receive God’s blessings only if you keep all His laws. (Deuteronomy 28:1–2) If you sin and fail to keep even one law, you will be disqualified from receiving His blessings. But today, under the new covenant, your sins no longer disqualify you because God Himself has said, “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” (Hebrews 8:12)
So let your heart be established by God’s grace. Because of His grace, you have full access to His blessings. You no longer have to worry about whether you are good enough. You can stand firm on the promises made in His Word and enjoy His blessings today because Jesus has paid the price. Your part is only to believe and receive!

The Answer For A Guilty Conscience
The Answer For A Guilty Conscience
Hebrews 9:14
14how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Have you heard the voice of your conscience saying things like, “You deserve hell for the sins you committed against your wife three years ago” or “Why are you surprised that your child is not talking to you? You were never around when he needed you”?
You know, there are people who feel depressed all the time because of a sense of guilt, and they “pay” for their sins in terms of illnesses. In fact, doctors are discovering that many psychosomatic sicknesses are caused by guilt and condemnation because the conscience is saying, “You have done wrong. You must be punished. How can your sin not be punished?”
That is why you must have an answer that will satisfy your conscience. When your conscience says, “You have sinned. You must be punished for this sin or else God is not a just God,” you say, “Yes, I have sinned. But this sin and every other sin that I have committed were punished to the maximum in the body of Jesus Christ! So there remains no more punishment for me today, for how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse my conscience!”
My friend, the only way to bring peace to your conscience is to look to the cross. The cross of Jesus is the only answer that will satisfy your conscience.
So the next time your conscience condemns you because of sin, don’t try to silence it with your good works. Look to the cross and say, “Father, thank You for Jesus and the cross. Jesus was totally condemned on my behalf for this sin, so there is now absolutely no condemnation left for me.” Then, your conscience will look at the cross and say, “Ahhhh... peace.” My friend, Jesus’ finished work at the cross truly sets you free!

Hebrews 9:14
14how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Have you heard the voice of your conscience saying things like, “You deserve hell for the sins you committed against your wife three years ago” or “Why are you surprised that your child is not talking to you? You were never around when he needed you”?
You know, there are people who feel depressed all the time because of a sense of guilt, and they “pay” for their sins in terms of illnesses. In fact, doctors are discovering that many psychosomatic sicknesses are caused by guilt and condemnation because the conscience is saying, “You have done wrong. You must be punished. How can your sin not be punished?”
That is why you must have an answer that will satisfy your conscience. When your conscience says, “You have sinned. You must be punished for this sin or else God is not a just God,” you say, “Yes, I have sinned. But this sin and every other sin that I have committed were punished to the maximum in the body of Jesus Christ! So there remains no more punishment for me today, for how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse my conscience!”

There's no place like Singapore!!!!
God Is Not On A Sin Hunt
God Is Not On A Sin Hunt
1 Thessalonians 5:9
9For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
When you think of Sodom and Gomorrah, what comes to your mind? God’s wrath and fiery judgment? The truth is that God was not all out to judge the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. He was not on a sin hunt. He was, in fact, on a righteousness hunt!
This is evident because if God was on a sin hunt, He would not have allowed anyone to stop Him. But we know that He let Abraham in on what He was about to do and even allowed Abraham to entreat Him.
Abraham asked God if He would destroy Sodom if He could find 50 righteous people there. God’s reply was, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.” (Genesis 18:26) Abraham then asked God if He would destroy the city if there were only 45… 40… 30… or 10 righteous. And each time, God’s reply was that He would spare the place for the sake of the righteous.
Abraham stopped at 10. If he had gone down to just one righteous man, I believe God’s reply would have been the same because He was on a righteousness hunt.
Now, if God was not all out to destroy then, how much more today, when God has already judged our sins in the body of His Son? At the cross, Jesus exhausted all of God’s fiery judgments until there was no more fire of God’s wrath left for us!
Today, God is not judging us for our sins because He has found the righteousness of the one Man — Christ Jesus. So do not let anyone tell you that God judges you for your sins and punishes you with cancer, car accidents, business failures or brokenness. God would be unjust if He punished the same sins twice — in Jesus’ body and then in yours.
Beloved, God is not out to judge you but bless you today, not because you deserve it, but because Jesus was judged and punished in your place!

The Struggle with Doubt by Dr Charles Stanley
The Struggle with Doubt
Dr Charles Stanley
James 1:2-8
The Bible teaches us to walk by faith, having full confidence in God. Yet many people are burdened by doubt. Even believers, who have been saved by faith, can waver in their trust.
For example, there are Christians who back out of their commitment to a ministry. Though originally led to serve in this capacity, they may question whether they have the necessary ability. Lack of assurance is also displayed when financial concerns lead a believer to stop tithing.
Doubt started in the garden of Eden when Satan introduced a question in Eve's mind: Wouldn't eating the forbidden fruit bring special benefits? And to this day, the Deceiver still whispers lies that can cause Christians' trust to falter. He will utilize any of the following to erode our confidence in God: ignorance of Scripture, temptation to sin, feelings of guilt, a stronger focus on circumstances than on Christ, and the negative viewpoint of others. All of these inhibit the ability to see truth clearly and to stand firmly upon it.
While a doubter is characterized by negativity, uncertainty, and instability, a believer with full trust in God walks in absolute confidence—decisive, dependent upon the Word, and capable of enduring, even when circumstances seem gloomy.
The Christian walk should be characterized by faith, not doubt. Have you prayed for something but questioned whether the Lord would answer—or disbelieved He would actually do something He promised in Scripture? Resist doubt, and take hold of the unshakeable confidence God offers.

Overcoming Fear and Worry by Adrian Rogers
Overcoming Fear and Worry
Adrian Rogers
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7
When we ought to be enjoying victorious, abundant lives...what happens? Fear creeps in and grips us cold. Many of us lose priceless opportunities because of this boa const...rictor of fear.
When fear dominates, there is no room for Christ, Who can comfort us
"These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33).
Worry is the noxious first cousin to fear. Fear and worry will do to you what grit does to machinery — shut you down. But God gives us the victory with His power, His love, and the gift of a sound mind. The Holy Spirit is your Bodyguard. He walks with you. The man who can kneel before God can stand before any man.
Jesus has you in His sight. You are in God's right hand. Write that down and post it in a place where you can meditate on it throughout the day. Now, ask yourself, "Knowing this, can anything this week change those truths?"

How to be thankful in tough times
How to be thankful in tough times
by Rick Warren
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:6 (NLT)
Don't worry about anything.
Worrying doesn't change anything. It's stewing without doing. There's no such thing as born worriers; worry is a learned response. You learned it from your parents. You learned it from your peers. You learned it from experience. That's good news. The fact that worry is learned means it can also be unlearned. Jesus says, "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today." (Matthew 6:34, NLT)
Pray about everything.
Next use the time you've been worrying for praying. If you prayed as much as you worried, you'd have a whole lot less to worry about. Some people think God only cares about religious things, such as how many people I invite to church or my tithing. Is God interested in car payments? Yes. He's interested in every detail of your life. That means you can take any problem you face to God.
Thank God in all things.
Whenever you pray, you should always pray with thanksgiving. The healthiest human emotion is not love -- but gratitude. It actually increases your immunities; it makes you more resistant to stress and less susceptible to illness. People who are grateful are happy. But people who are ungrateful are miserable because nothing makes them happy. They're never satisfied; it's never good enough. So if you cultivate the attitude of gratitude, of being thankful in everything, it reduces stress in your life.
Think about the right things.
If you want to reduce the level of stress in your life, you must change the way you think; the way you think determines how you feel. And the way you feel determines how you act. So if you want to change your life, you need to change what you're thinking about.
This involves a deliberate conscious choice where you change the channels. You choose to think about the right things: focus on the positive and on God's word.
Why? Because the root cause of stress is the way I choose to think.
When we no longer worry, when we pray about everything, when we give thanks, when we focus on the right things, the Apostle Paul tells us the result is, "The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
What a guarantee! He is guaranteeing peace of mind.

Be Christ-Conscious
Be conscious of what's happening in this world.
Earthquakes, Tsunamis, financial downturns, murders,
and you'll see darkness.
You will see death!
Be conscious of Jesus.
Feel His love,acceptance, Peace and eternal joy..
and you'll see LIFE!!!
------
Be Christ-Conscious
Ephesians 1:7
7In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
Have you ever woken up in the morning and said, “Today, I will not sin.” And as you leave your house, you say, “I must be careful not to fall into sin today. I don’t want to sin. I will not sin!” My friend, when you do this, you are no longer Christ-conscious but sin-conscious, even though you have not sinned yet.
Men, have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I don’t want to look at any woman in case I lust”? You are being sin-conscious when you think like that. And sooner or later, you will lust in your heart. You may not sin outwardly, but you will sin inwardly.
Have you also tried confessing every sin? I have! As a teenager, when a bad thought came, I would quickly say, “I’m sorry, Lord. Forgive me for this thought in Jesus’ name.” Then, another thought would come and I would quickly say, “Forgive me, Lord, for that thought in Jesus’ name.” Then, if I happen to doubt His forgiveness, I would confess my unbelief and ask for forgiveness: “Forgive me, Lord, for doubting You.” Before I knew it, I was oppressed in my mind and so sin-conscious instead of Christ-conscious!
My friend, when you fall into sin, God wants you to be Christ-conscious. This means that when you have missed it, God wants you to be conscious that in Christ, you have forgiveness of sins through His blood. God wants you to be conscious that Christ was wounded and bruised for your sins, and that the chastisement for your peace was upon Him. (Isaiah 53:5)
When you are Christ-conscious, you will have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:1) You will know that you are the righteousness of God in Christ because He who knew no sin was made sin for you. (2 Corinthians 5:21) He took your sin and now you have His righteousness.
So when you fall, don’t be conscious of your failure and feel bad or condemned. Instead, be conscious of who you are in Christ, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and continue your walk with God!

How to keep the good fight of Faith?
You cannot say that you have Faith when everything's going well and great in your end.
Everyone can do that and can claim that 'God is great! And awesome!" as long as things are going right and perfect for them.
But what if something went wrong? And everything is hopeless just like what happened to Job.
If you are like Job. Then congratulations!
But what if you'll be confused and the way things have turned around is making you think if God really loves you or not?
Well, don't think more.
My advice, just keep listening to His Words. Like listening to some anointing audios like Ps Joseph Prince, Joyce Meyer, Joel Olsteen Jr, and many others for inspirations and encouragements.
The more pain, confusions you have the more you need to listen for more and double the dose.
Don't just sit there and say
" Duuh, How come these things are happening to me. I am a good Christian. Where are you Lord? Its not meant to be this way!"
Power up your ipod and listen!
Because your ears are not meant to listen to your pathetic thoughts.
Just listen to Him.
And
read stuffs that assure you of His love.
Because if you realise how much you are loved by Him.
Everything will change.
Trust me. The next time you'll know you're back on your feet praising Him again and again.
It's Sunday!
It's time for New Creation and soak in His love!
Have a great Sunday everyone!!

Hardrock Hotel @ResortWorld Sentosa
While everyone is excited for the opening of Resort World this Monday,
I spent our Friday night at the new Hardrock Hotel @Resort World Sentosa.
I am so blessed to have the opportunity in staying overnight at one of the most expensive hotel rooms I know here in Singapore!
The best part is.
This morning as I was waiting for my friends, I got bored and had decided to explore the room. Fix the bed, turn on the ipod and then opened the drawers.
To my surprise I saw this.
Yes! The Bible!!!
God is good He keeps reminding me of His presence everywhere. I soooo love it!
Thank you Abba.
Of course, I opened it
and a chance to read few chapters of Job.
Cool ha?
It is an awesome Saturday today.
Will post more of the Resort world adventure on my next thread.
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
Heyy, have I mentioned that
These are all for FREE?
*winks!
