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...:)



Why The Finished Work Begins In Your Mind

Chicken A la Carte

Synopsis: This film is about the hunger and poverty brought about by Globalization. There are 10,000 people dying everyday due to hunger and malnutrition. This short film shows a forgotten portion of the society. The people who lives on the refuse of men to survive. What is inspiring is the hope and spirituality that never left this people.

Thy Word - Maranatha Singers

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!
I hear God speaks to me through this devotional.
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!

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!”
