‘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!”

Your Answer Is In His Word

God is so good He backed up my latest entry with this Daily devotional.

:)

Your Answer Is In His Word


Proverbs 4:20–22
20My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. 21Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; 22for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.

God has given us a sure way to receive the answers to our problems and challenges. It is His Word. Every answer or solution we need is found in the Bible.

Yet, many Christians are not walking victoriously in certain areas of their lives. This is because the devil continuously wages a war of distraction against them. He has managed to take them away from the one thing that can bring them victory — the Word. He will do everything possible to prevent them from opening the Bible because he knows that the Word will deliver them.

The distraction can be very subtle: A lot of things to get done, a lot of TV programs that interest you, or it may take the form of a big problem that makes you feel that you need to focus all your attention on it. The enemy knows that if he can get you to take your eyes off the Word of God, he can keep you from winning the battle.

When you are going through a tough time, it is not enough to know that God’s answer to the problem is “somewhere in the Bible”. Find the scripture in which God has promised the solution. Meditate on it until the truth of that scripture is revealed to you. When you do this, no demon or devil can prevent that word from God from bearing fruit in your life.

Even Jesus Himself used the Word to defeat the devil in the wilderness — “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’” (Matthew 4:4) The way to defeat the enemy is with “It is written…”

My friend, there is no substitute for the written Word. God tells us that we will find life and health if we give our attention to His Word and keep it in the midst of our hearts. So get into the Word and let God’s promises abide in you.

Recession Blues

Now I'm really starting to feel the recession.

We just had a meeting with our Boss and from what I have seen
in the look of her face, she is so disappointed.

She feels bad about the sales dropping so fast,
the performance of our staffs,etc.

With all these emotions mixed with the recession blues,
there is a possibility that the company will cut down
10% of our salary.

Ooouuuch!
Yes!
I heard it right!If the sales will remain at its lowest peak come this April,
She has no choice but to do it.

I understand my boss and my company's dilemma.
It's inevitable.

Of course, I am deeply shaken from what I heard.

Hoooh boy!

Is this the end of my career?

Or is it time to hunt for a new job?Anywhere could be better.

Really, a lot of things to explore on this crazy moment.lolx.

And yes, you can do this and that but there will always be
an equal reaction to it.

Some may give you good results.

Some may let you end up as a loser...wrapping your entire being
with great disappointments,frustrations and pains.

Uncertainties..

Yes, the world has tons of it.

It exist in your mind.

In your relationships, career and future.

But
as my mind speaks, my heart hears.
In situations like these.

When you get beaten with stress and confusions,
there will be a lot of options to think about.

I had attempts of going through every angle of it.
only to disturb my soul.

I don't like it. . .

I feel it's not part of me.

For far from above it all,

I want PEACE.... INNER PEACE.

Bosses words, sometimes can break your heart,
castigate you with fear and can give you a lot of lying symptoms.

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.
Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand
against the devil's schemes." Ephesians 6:10-11

It happens. And it won't stop.

How do I deal with it?

Simply, I go back to God's words instead.

For God's words are true and powerful than anyone else.

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want!" Psalm 23

God said He is my Provider.

So be it.

He is my Provider!

God said He is my refuge.

So be it.

He is my refuge!

Jesus said:

"Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle
and humble in heart and you will find REST FOR YOUR SOULS.
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matthew 11:29-30

I am so glad in times like these,

I have the power of God's Words as a weapon.

Then I speak in tongues.

The next moment...

My world stands still..inspite of my current situation shaking me.

I am at peace.

It's just amazing how He keeps me in His wings.
I don't know how He is doing it but I am sure it's not me.

"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
They say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust." PSALM 91:1-2

Lose My Soul - TobyMac

"Lose My Soul"
(feat. Kirk Franklin, Mandisa)

Man I wanna tell you all something, Man.
Man I'm not gonna let these material thing's, get in my way, you all.
I'm trying to get somewhere.
I'm trying to get somewhere,
Thats real and pure and true and eternal.

Father God, I am clay in your hands,
Help me to stay that way through all life's demands,
'Cause they chip and they nag and they pull at me,
And every little thing I make up my mind to be,
Like I'm gonna be a daddy whose in the mix,
And I'm gonna be a husband who stays legit,
And I pray that I'm an artist who rises above,
The road that is wide and filled with self love,
Everything that I see draws me,
Though it's only in You that I can truly see that its a feast for the eyes- a low blow to purpose.
And I'm a little kid at a three ring circus.

I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.

(Mr. Franklin, Step up to the mic sir)

The paparazzi flashes, and that they think that it's you,
But they don't know that who you are is not what you do,
True, we get it twisted when we peak at the charts,
Yo before we part from the start,
Where's your heart?
You a pimp, hustler?
Tell me what's your title,
America has no more stars, now we call them idols,
You sit idle, While we teach prosperity,
The first thing to prosper should be inside of me.
We're free...
Not because of 22's on the range,
But Christ came in range, we said yes now we changed,
Not the same, even though I made a fall,
Since I got that call, no more Saul, now I'm Paul.
(YEP!)

I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
Don't wanna walk away,
Don't wanna walk away

How do I sense the tide that's rising?
De-sensitizing me from living in light of eternity,
How do I sense the tide that's rising?
It's hypnotizing me from living in light of eternity,
How do I sense the tide that's rising?
De-sensitizing me from living in light of eternity.

(Lord what we gonna do,We're relying on you,
all eyes are on you Lord,
all eyes are on you, all eyes are on you Jesus.)

I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
(Don't let me lose my soul, my soul.)
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
(This is my honesty, Father, won't you cover me.)
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
(Don't wanna walk away, and all those people say)
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
(Don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose my soul.)

Lord forgive us when we get consumed by the things of this world,
That fight for our love, and our passion,
As our eyes are open wide and on you.
Grant us the privilege of your world view,
And may your kingdom be, what wakes us up, and lays us down.

(Hallelujah, Don't wanna lose our soul,
No, Don't wanna lose my soul.)

Hey excuse me,
I'm looking for the after party,
Toby,
Ha ha, yeah, last door on the left, you'll hear it.
Thanks,
No problem.

Don't let me lose my soul, I never wanna walk away,
I don't wanna lose my soul,
No, no, no.
Don't let me, don't let me, lose my soul,
I don't wanna walk away,
Don't let me walk away,
Na na na na no,
Don't let me lose, my soul,
I'm never gonna walk away.
