The Lord Your Refuge Will Deliver You by Joseph Prince

The Lord Your Refuge Will Deliver You by Joseph Prince

Psalm 91:3
3Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence.

Today, we hear of new strains of viruses which were unheard of only a generation ago. The world has yet to find cures for them and many people are afraid of being struck down by these viruses.

But as believers, we are not of the world, though we are in the world. (John 17:15–16) So our protection is not of the world, but of the Lord. And when we say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust,” (Psalm 91:2) then what follows is not “maybe”, but surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence.

A couple in our church can testify that surely the Lord delivered and protected their two young children during a Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) outbreak, which claimed a few lives in Singapore not long ago.

When their four-year-old daughter started vomiting and running a fever, the mother brought her to their family doctor, who found ulcers in her mouth and small red dots on her hands and feet — symptoms of the HFMD. Naturally, the doctor prescribed medication for her.

Back home, however, the little girl continued to vomit throughout the day, throwing up everything including the medication. Her fever persisted. Not able to do anything for their daughter, the parents prayed, proclaiming Jesus as their healer, and partook of the Holy Communion many times with both their children.

That night, their daughter’s fever broke and the vomiting subsided. They continued making the Lord their refuge and fortress. Within two days, their daughter was completely delivered from the disease. And all this while, their six-year-old son was completely protected from the infectious disease.

Beloved, you don’t need to be afraid of deadly diseases which may have claimed the lives of others. You don’t have to be fearful that you or your child may become victims of these super bugs. When the Lord is your refuge and fortress, surely He shall deliver you and your family from the snare of the fowler, such as the avian flu, and from all perilous pestilences!

Involve Jesus by Joseph Prince

When wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, discretion will preserve you; understanding will keep you, to deliver you from the way of evil…
Proverbs 2:10–12


"Involve Jesus"


You don’t need a financial miracle when you are consistently walking in the wisdom of God. In other words, when you walk in His wisdom, you won’t be surviving from one bailout to another, nor be in a constant state of financial crisis and lack.

My friend, God’s provision of wisdom is abundant and I want to challenge you to tap into this powerful resource from heaven today. How can you do this? By always involving Jesus in your decision-making.

Before you make a career move, start a new business, or make a significant purchase or investment, involve Jesus. Don’t exclude the Lord. When someone pressurizes you to sign an agreement because the offer is “only valid for today,” take a step back. Don’t make an emotional decision and rush into it. Wait upon the Lord. Be prepared to walk away from this “great opportunity” if you don’t sense His peace and wisdom.

Beloved, learn how to flow in divine wisdom. It will save you both precious time and money!

You shall live and declare the works of the Lord!

The devil loves death. He wants you to struggle, be very disappointed,

angry, mad, crazy so you will hate life and God.

But our Lord Jesus wants us to live that's why

He gave up His precious life for you and me.

Jesus wants us to break free from any bondage or hatred!

Jesus wants us to rest in Him so we'd stop struggling!

Yeah. That's my Jesus!

Awesome, right?

Plans are Plans

We make our plans everyday.

That's ok.


Some plans if successful, may lead to good.

But some if unguided, may lead to destructions.

So it's better to ask Jesus for wisdom in every plans that
you are thinking of.

Just talk to Him about it.

It might not happen instantly but as long as you are

living your life with a purpose,

You are on the right track!

Remember Jeremiah 29:11?

The Power of Psalm 91

It's all in the news. Accidents, murders, weird diseases, plane crashes, economy breakdown. Earthquakes, tsunamis, snowstorms.

Fears. Worries.

This is why we need God's refuge!

I just thank Jesus for leading me to His divine protection thru Psalm 91.

It's yours too.

Keep it and claim it everyday!

Live To Please Jesus

I've come to a point in my life now that pleasing everyone is not really my destiny.

It's pleasing Jesus.

You see, when you try to think about how to please your friends, family or loved ones, you'd only get confused by what they want. They want to see you based on what they need to see in you. That is so stressful !

Instead, today, believe that pleasing Jesus is your goal.

How to please Jesus?

Just rest in Him ....

Yah.that simple. Rest in His love and unmerited favour that He keeps pouring on you.

He loves that.

He loves it when you totally depend on Him about everything.

Try it.

And let me know how it sets you free.

Good morning everyone!

It's Monday morning here in Singapore.

My Bus just left me so it gave me an opportunity to blog this away.

Amazing, right?

Hahah!

Enjoy today's devotional from Sarah Young's "Jesus Calling For Kids"


Live to Please Me

Be careful! When you do good things, don’t do them in front of people to be seen by them. If you do that, then you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
—Matthew 6:1 (ICB)

When your greatest desire is to please Me, then you will be truly free. How? Living to please Me frees you from the phony expectations of this world. Too many of My children do their good deeds to impress their friends, their family, even their church. But if looking good in front of others is your main goal, then you are really only pleasing yourself.

Instead, live to please Me. When what you care about the most is pleasing Me, you won’t care what other people think. When you believe that I always love you, you can rise above peer pressure. And when you trust that I am always with you, you will have the courage to stand up for what is right.

Live to please Me—and this will make you free.


Love,
Jesus

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jesus, Do Not Let Go of Me

When you feel like giving up...

Ask God not to let go of you.

because we , as humans are weak. Sometimes hardships in life can block our way in coming boldly to God. Or believing in Him.
That's ok. Don't condemn yourself for lack of faith.

We all go through all that.

Important thing is.

Don't runaway from God.

Stay with Him all the way,

and one day you will see victory

In all areas of your life.

And then you'd just smile and

thank Him all day.

Just like what's happening to me.

Yes. God is good. All the time.

He only wants the best for you.

so do not give up on Him.

Keep talking to Him.

He loves it.

My Jesus....

This is Jesus...He loves unconditionally.
He died for me because He loves m so.



Compassion With Action by Joseph Prince

Luke 7:13
13When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”

My friend, there is no trial, difficulty or challenge we face today that our Lord Jesus cannot identify with. The moment we experience a trial, right there and then, because He “was in all points tempted as we are” (Hebrews 4:15), He feels it too and is able to sympathize with our weaknesses.

Jesus’ compassion for you is the same compassion He felt for the widow at Nain when He saw the dead body of her only son being carried out of the city gate to be buried. (Luke 7:11–15) It must have been terrible for her to experience the death of her only son after having already experienced the death of her husband. What a horrible thought to be left all alone in the world with no means of support! When Jesus saw her, He was moved with compassion and said to her, “Do not weep.”

Now, some religious leaders might also be moved to approach her, but only to say, “Look sister, something is terribly wrong. Your husband died. Now, your only son has died. You must find out what is wrong. You better ask God what sin you have committed and repent. Or perhaps there is a curse in your life that needs to be broken.”

Isn’t it beautiful that Jesus did not extend more confusion or condemnation toward her? He only extended His compassion to her, telling her, “Don’t weep.” This same Jesus will also come to you when you are most distraught and say, “Don’t cry.”

And Jesus’ sympathy does not stop at “Oh, you poor thing! I am so sorry about what has happened to you.” No, His sympathy will move Him to give you the miracle you need in your life. That is why He raised the widow’s son back to life!

Beloved, rest in the truth that He who is seated at the Father’s right hand today understands what you are going through and sympathizes with your weaknesses. The compassion of Jesus toward you causes Him to breathe life into your dead situation and turn it around for your good!

How To Pray Without Ceasing

Whatever's troubling you now...

Just pray about it.

How to pray without ceasing?

Simple.

Just talk it out to Jesus.

Like talking to a friend.

That has become my habit now.

Everytime I am disappointed on something or someone.

I just boldly talk it out to Jesus.

I have a human bestfriend, but you see, I cannot really talk everything out to her.

I feel uncomfortable revealing some things to her..like my inner thoughts, wishes

wants and dreams. Cuz I'm afraid that she will just laugh at it.

But no...with Jesus, you can talk it out to Him freely.

Don't be scared.

And when it becomes your habit, come back on thisthread and let me know how awesome He is.

I love hearing testimonials about my Jesus, you see.

Ok?

Be cool..

Talk to Jesus!

God Blesses You, The Righteous

Blessings are on the head of the righteous…
Proverbs 10:6

God Blesses You, The Righteous

Whenever you find a promise or blessing for the righteous in the Bible, grab hold of it by saying, “Father, I receive this blessing in Jesus’ name!”

For example, when you read in Proverbs 10:6 that blessings are on the head of the righteous, say, “Thank You, Father, this promise is for ME because I have been made righteous through faith in Jesus and His finished work!”

So every day, instead of fearing that lack will devour you, expect God’s provision and blessings to hunt you down and surround you! Expect good things to happen to you. Say, “Father, I thank You that Your blessings crown my head. Your bountiful provisions are upon me and my household!”

Beloved, the more you begin to believe and speak words of abundance, provision and increase, the more you will experience the full blessings of the righteous!

God Is Satisfied With You by Joseph Prince

…He made us accepted in the Beloved.
Ephesians 1:6


God Is Satisfied With You


Do you sometimes wonder if God is satisfied with you?

Actually, the question you should ask is not whether God is satisfied with you. The question you should ask is whether God is satisfied with Jesus and His finished work at the cross. And the answer is this: He is completely satisfied!

At the cross, your acceptance is found. There, Jesus cried out with His last breath, “It is finished!” (John 19:30). The work is complete. The full punishment for all your sins was exacted on Jesus at the cross. God will never punish you the believer, not because He has gone soft on sin, but because all your sins have already been punished in the body of Jesus. God’s holiness and His justice are now on your side!

Today, God is not assessing you based on what you have or have not done. He is assessing you based on what Jesus has done. Is God satisfied with Jesus today? Yes, of course He is. Then, to the same extent that God is satisfied with Jesus, He is satisfied with you because He has placed you in Jesus the Beloved! How can you not have His acceptance, favor, help and blessings?

How To Solve Problems The Jesus' Way

I have a little secret on how to face problems

and today, I'm gonna share it with you.

Ready?

Here goes.

First, it is really easy.

You just need to accept the fact that problems are problems

and no matter how small or big they are, it really keeps hunting us.

It makes us worry all the time.

Anxious of what's next to come.

It scares us.

But we don't know why we let it control us.

We want it to stop. But problems arepart one's life.

You can't get rid of them.

You just need to stand victorios above them!



Second.

You can try to solve it with your own strength when it hits you for the first time.

But if you're like me that doesn't want to spend time and energy worrying anymore,

(Which is very stressful and unhealthy)

You need to do this.

If you get tired of dealing with your problems alone,

talk it out Jesus.

Yes. That easy.

It's like prayer but only, when you do this, you establish a relationship.

A divine relationship with Jesus, our Abba Father who only wants the best for us.

Talk it out to Jesus.

Just let it flow. Like talking to someone or your bestfriend.

Be open to Him.

Tell Him all your "what-ifs" that are stuck in your mind and heart.

Your fears. Hatred. Or regrets

Yes.

Do this everytime you have a problem.

Make it a habit . And I tell you,

it's going to be the best habit that you ever had.


Just talk to Jesus and stay strong with Him on your side.


Try it.
