Two Obstacles To Having A Confident Expectation of Good

I used to hate Christians because I felt some of them are not behaving the way they should. I always thought that if you're a Christian, and have been born again..you should act real good, behave well to give justice to Jesus.

I was so wrong and stupid to be thinking that way.

Everyone of us can never be perfect. Not in this world. Be it a Christian or not,
we still experience each other's ups and downs..struggles..problems of any kind.

That's why we need Jesus!

Because in Jesus, no matter who we are, how imperfect and failure we may have become
we still live in VICTORY ground!

Even if you're a non-believer or an atheist -- Jesus still loves you..
He knows that you are weary from whatever that is troubling you right now and just wants you to rest in Him. Just like I was so tired and weary and was ready to give up too.
You just need to accept Him and the rest will follow.

Don't listen to the words of man. For man's words are inconsistent. GOd's Words are Forever and lasting.

Enjoy this mp3 peepz. Do not let other people's judgment turn you down. Instead look up to the cross..to Jesus and have a confident expectation of Good.

Debunking Common Myths About Prayer

I used to pray alot...and pray hard.
My past diaries back when I was in my college days could attest to that.

I thought God is always too busy attending other people's prayer
so I really told myself to pray harder so He can notice and hear me out.

Back in my old church,
I saw people kneeling from the main entrance walking towards the altar on bended knees. I deeply sighed. Then I asked the Lord, God? What if I do
that and then I wouldn't be able to make it in the altar? Are my prayers considered void?

Lack of good Christian teachings back then, I slowly turned away from Him.
Because in my mind, God was so hard to pleased. And I felt , I wouldn't be able to live up to His expectations.

I was in total BONDAGE!

No one really taught me or told me that God wasn't like that. It was what I saw and have
become accustomed to.
So I didn't like it and was bored with it so like my mom and my late dad, I stayed away from church. I only appear if there was really one big thing that I wanted to.But that's it. Just for my own benefits.

Now..I'm glad Jesus has showed me who and what God really is.
It changes everything. and my coming to Him now is more of like child-father relationship
thing..I mean it's more than that actually.Your dad can tell you, ok I will grant your request but first you must do this ...and that.Or be good this time or else..

God isn't like that. He gives you everything execeedingly, abundantly without strings attached no matter who you are or no matter what you do..
All you have to do is just to accept it. That's it.

you might ask, "How do you know?"
I'd say..." Look at the C R O S S.. that's the biggest gift God has given to me and to you
so we all can enjoy everything what's in this world! That's the answer to all our prayers! We just have to come boldly, accept it and live life fully with it!"
You might say.."You're making it so simple:"

I'd say,,"Why are you making it so hard? lolx!"

or you might say again, Hey Dinx, you're sharing a lot of these stuffs so where's your car? How's your bank account? Where's your big house and all?? Where? where?

Well, for now. I aint got any of those just YET.

I don't need to pray or ask for all of it either. For I know God has given me those already.
I can only say thanks to Him and praise Him even more .

Like I said, the CROSS is everything that I have..With it , the rest follows.

And I could just shout: In this world for now, I may have nothing, but with God and Jesus, I HAVE MY HEALTH and POWER TO PROSPER. I HAVE EVERYTHING!


Let's relax for awhile and listen to this awesome message my dear friends.
This will teach you how to pray.
Enjoy.

You gotta have that faith!

Before I got saved, I knew deep in my heart that I was using my Faith
in wrong things. I mean, there's really nothin wrong when you "believe"
in the stuffs you get accustomed to..like when you believe in the doctors and the
medicine they prescribe to you just to give you relief. You believe in someone
that he/she will love you forever. You believe in that long-awaited promotion
in your career to come. You believe you will get rich and become a millionaire.
It's all in believing..and I call it "FAITH".

I believe in those stuffs too. BUt as I go my fun walk as a Christian,
my faith have been elevated.
I believe that I needed to use my FAITH somewhere where there's more to get on hold to.
Like supernatural healing (my most fave) and prosperity.

Let me share with you a devotional I received for today from Pastor Prince
to back it all up.
Enjoy and good sunday everyone!


"Believe That God Is Your Rewarder "




Hebrews 11:6
6But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Most people quote only the first part of Hebrews 11:6 — “without faith it is impossible to please Him”. Yet, it goes on to say, “for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him”. In other words, the faith that pleases God is the kind of faith that believes that God exists and that He is a rewarder.

The Bible also says that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. (Hebrews 11:1) So even in times of difficulty, when we don’t see good things happening in our circumstances, we are to believe that God will turn things around and reward us.

God turned things around for Ruth, the Moabite widow, when she believed the Lord and made Him her God. (Ruth 1:16) The Bible tells us that she was given a “full reward” by the Lord when she came under His wings for refuge. (Ruth 2:12) Not only did He give her protection, He also gave her abundant provision, exceeding favor and a glorious redemption. (Ruth 2:9–17, 3:11, 4:10–13)

When Rahab, the harlot of Jericho, heard reports of how the Lord had opened up the Red Sea for the children of Israel, she believed that “He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath”. (Joshua 2:9–11) Though Rahab had not personally witnessed the miracles, she believed God and hid the Jewish spies from their pursuers. (Joshua 2:4–6) Because of her faith, she not only did not perish with those who did not believe (Joshua 6:25, Hebrews 11:31), but she was also given a place in the “hall of faith” in Hebrews 11.

God was so pleased with the faith of these two Gentile women that He not only blessed them in their lifetimes, but He also put them into the genealogy of His Son Jesus Christ, the great Redeemer and rewarder.

Beloved, when you come to the Lord with your needs, believe that He is God, and that He is a rewarder. God has pleasure in this kind of faith. He wants to be the rewarder of your faith in Him!

How To Deal With Lying Symptoms

I had my medical examination this afternoon for my PR formalities requirement.
When the clinic staff checked on my BP, she told me my blood pressure wss high
and that she needed second opinion from the doctor himself.

While waiting for my queue.. series of thoughts attacked me.
A bit fearful.

Could it be I'm like my mom and my late dad now?
Hypertension runs in my blood and it could pass onto me.

And then I remember one of the sermons of Pastor Prince when He said
once I become a believer..all my curses are cut off by the blood of
Jesus. That includes all the diseases that my ancestors had passed on
generation after generation.

Then slowly, on my breath, I just said,
"This symptom that I'm having right now is just a lie.
And I reject it in Jesus name!
All my sicknesses have been healed 2,000 years ago when Jesus received
those blows and whippings. And I boldy declare, By His stripes, I am healed!"


And guess what,


When the doc checked on my bp again.
He said.....


-

-

-

-

-

-

-




..it's normal.



And I just smiled and winked secretly on Jesus.


I don't know with you..But as for me, I believe in the originator of my
well-being and health. The one man who really knows what's going on inside
my body...and that is God. That's why He sent Jesus to heal us also.


Temporarily , worldy medicines can give u relief but not lasting.

Me? no matter what I'm feeling right now.
Even if there's pain somewhere..be it headache or bodyache.
I still boldly declare...

" BY HIS STRIPES, I AM HEALED! IN JESUS NAME!"

My Wallpaper Of The Day

God just keeps reminding me to hold fast on my FAITH.
In this life, as I go along and enjoy my Christian adventure,
I have learned that it's not my decisions,my goals,my dreams,
my being sad at the moment, contemplating on how bad my attitude is
or fearing how worsr that I'll become,etc that really matter the most.

it's my FAITH in Him.

That FAITH can make wonders in your life as I did with mine.

You may feel so lost and rejected in this world
but with that FAITH stuck in you makes a lot of difference.

It changes everything.

It's like magic...only to come for real and is lasting.

Thanks Sandra..

Hi, Sandra, let me quote you on this.
"We're lucky aren't we, you and me. We have Jesus to depend on for everything. Dinx, Jesus didn't come down to save a perfect world, the perfect person, but He came because of the sinners, the imperfect world, the imperfect person.
We're all like the rough diamond, to be able to shine brilliantly someday in the future, we need to get chiseled and cut (facets) and finally to be polished before we are classify as a diamond. So every cut, every chisel is only going to be good for us. We are going to SHINE someday when we stand before Him. Brilliantly! Isn't that just magnificent, to be able to stand with Him in His kingdom.
Stay strong child,"

Yeah! We are so blessed to have Jesus. He surely knows there's no end to all
the crap in this mad, fallen world. He knows that as we live in it..without a
"SHepherd" to guide us. We are totally lost.

Wars, terrorisms, earthquakes,tsunamis, diseases of any kind could strike the world anytime.
Like a thief in the night.
And it's not gona end either. There's really no end to it..(till He comes down again)

I used to live in that FEAR.

BUt now...my mind changed.

It changed when I shifted my focus on Jesus.

Jesus tells me I can only be free from all these fears when
I rest in Him.

It's good thing to know that.

Now, I'm FREE!

It's great to know inspite of the mad world has come to offer us, we can still shine
like a diamond.

Yes! Jesus blood has perfected us..like gold.

Inspite of everything that I have done, my bad thoughts and feelings to
anyone or anything.. I am still perfect with Him.

Everytime I would think about it. It just makes me feel good.

And wants to celebrate.

Thanks for dropping by Sandra.

I know I'm not alone in this feat.

My weakness.My strength.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 "But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

Each time I feel so weak and frustrated over something,
that feeling would really sink deep into me...
like massively digging a hole.

Like a dagger,
...piercing thru my heart..
.. and then it just freezes me.
Leaving me a feeling of remorse, shame and unworthiness.

Exposing my weaknesses would mean laying down my cards.
My imperfections.

I have a lot of weaknesses in me. If I focus on them detail by detail,
one by one...maybe it would take a lifetime. Definitely it would.

The world and other preachers would tell you to look at them so bad
that you'd puke. You don't even want to look at yourself in the mirror
anymore. Because by then , you'd get sick of "you"
and then would just decide to take on that mask and eventually stay away from God.

Good thing Jesus doesn't think that way.
Jesus doesn't want us to look wrongly in our imperfections and weaknesses.
Instead, He wants us to have a revelation in it. And get smart.

I consider my frustrations as one of my weaknesses.
Each time that happens I could just look onto Jesus and say to Him,
"where would I be without you, Jesus? You are my strength.
Thank you for coming for me. "
