SWINE FLU- what's next?

After SARS, there's a SWINE FLU!


Shall I be afraid?

No!

For I declare,

"One thousand and one shall fall on my left hand and ten thousand shall fall on my right hand,
BUT IT SHALL NOT COME NEAR ME and my loved ones!"


Me and my loved ones are FOREVER protected by the blood of Jesus!


Jesus said: “In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world” John 16:33


God is my protector and refuge. Only under His wings, I can rest fully.

I am just glad I have known the TRUTH before anything else could stress and break me apart.

Indeed, the world has a lot of BAD news to share.

And it will never cease to stop.

It's a cycle.

Weird and deadly diseases can break out anywhere, anytime.

Jesus can only say ... REST on Him from all these. and we are safe!

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

I will do just the same.

I want that REST and PEACE that the world can't give.

And it can only come from Jesus.

I have stopped worrying. And I dont wana spend my life on the same pathetic, worrying state EVER again!.

Thank you Jesus for setting me FREE!


Sharing another powerful message from Pastor Joseph Prince ..:)



--- Jesus, Your Good Shepherd And Door ----


John 10:7
7Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

Jesus said that He is the “door of the sheep”. What did He mean? Well, a sheepfold during Jesus’ time had no door which could be opened and closed. The door of the sheepfold was just an opening. In this kind of sheepfold, after the sheep had entered it, the shepherd would sleep at the entrance. The shepherd became, effectively, the “door” of the sheepfold.

When Jesus told His disciples, “I am the good shepherd,” (John 10:11) He also assured them emphatically that He was the “door of the sheep”. He was telling them and us, “Inside My sheepfold, My sheep are always safe, completely protected and kept close under My watchful eyes. And since I am just at the entrance of the sheepfold, nothing, not even the muffled bleat of one of My own, can escape My ears. Also, nothing evil outside the sheepfold can enter and touch My sheep without first coming through Me for I am the door of My sheep.”

So when the fight of life comes knocking on your door and when panic threatens to rise within you, see yourself doubly protected! He is both the good shepherd and the door of His sheep. As your good shepherd, He gave His life for you to redeem you from poverty, sickness and every other curse.

As your door, He keeps out everything evil that He has redeemed you from. Because He shed His blood for you, you are covered and protected within the sheepfold by a blood-stained door. Disaster, destruction and death must pass over you and your family because of His blood on your door. Remember that on the night of the first Passover in Egypt, the destroyer could not enter the houses of the Israelites because of the blood of the lamb on their doors. (Exodus 12:13, 23)

Today, you can live life untroubled and unafraid, knowing that Jesus, your good shepherd and door, protects and preserves you and your family. No evil will befall you or your loved ones because He is your dwelling place and refuge!

Suicide- just like that??

I heard a lot of suicide news lately.
Tsk!
I wish I could help those people in some possible ways
that I can.
Perhaps, sharing words of wisdom based on the Truths
that I know..like on this blog.


Well, I could only wish for that.
Because , by nature, humans are stubborn.
And we have this attitude of not really giving up so easily unless
we get to the end of our rope causing us frustrations, depressions , stress.

Then there goes suicide.



I don't want to make it sound so melodramatic.
But this blog has recorded the greatest pains and fears of my life.
Like any others, I, too was confused. Depressed.Frustrated.
Lost. Rejected. Financially down. Battling for my health.
Losing my breath.

Until now, my financial and career status have not levelled up compared
to some of my friends and colleagues that I know.
My mom is just renting a small room in our province , with a very patient
friend who's been taking of her for a year now. ( I'm blessed on that)
I have no stable savings ...my bank always reaches to up 0 ( ends up to negative
sometimes) and goes back to normal until I get my salary back for a month.
I don't own my own house. I have no property.No car.

I only have JESUS!

Now, you got me on that.

Can you hear me complain?

No.

I cannot complain.

Because I have JESUS!!!
For me, living in this world is not about all my pains,struggles and hurts..
it's all about HIM!

If I continue to live in fears and stress and be controlled in this world. i'd surely die.
But JESUS is the LIFE!

He is the only WAY, The TRUTH and the LIFE!


What about you?
Are there things that are troubling you? Stressing you out until you want to
pull that trigger off your head and lost your soul?

Humans as we are, naturally, we always cater to our own woes and complaints about life.

And then we blame Life why we get to have one and just wished we were dead.

Pathetic way of living , right?

I used to think that way, too.

There was this saddest part of my life where, I questioned God,
"Why He allowed me to be born in this world just to suffer"

I felt life sucked that everytime I always ended up waking up on the wrong side of the bed.
Finding no meaning for everything.

I can say, I almost reached the end of my rope.
Good thing, little prayers here and there have sustained me.
So even when I thought of taking my own life. It was filtered with prayers.
He has kept me well!

*I tell you, don't underestimate little thoughts of you talking to Him.
It does wonders than going to church kneeling all day and say "halleluyah, halleluyah!
But deep in your heart, you don't really mean it.
Maybe, just a show off or something for whatever.
for God knows what's in your heart and when you are sincere.


To sum up.

whatever's making you struggle and hard to breathe
until you fall out of your head at this moment.
I can only say come to Jesus.
Talk to Him like a child does who is sooo lost and doesn't know what to do anymore
but cry.

Come to Jesus.

He has given me LIFE..

He will do the same to you because He loves you so.

Don't take anti-depressants.

Take Jesus!

Don't go to a psychiatrist.

Consult to Jesus!


Yeah!

Just JESUS!


(Good saturday morning everyone. There's a purpose of me being stuck here in my office on a great saturday morning,.
Now I know. )

Me and Jesus by Stellar Kart

I love this song from Stellar Kart!


When there's nowhere else to turn
All your bridges have been burned
Feels like you've hit rock bottom
Don't give up it's not the end
Open up your heart again
When you feel like no one
Understands where you are

[chorus]
Someone loves you even when you don't think so don't you know you got
Me and Jesus by your side through the fight you will never be alone on your own you got me and Jesus

After all that we've been through
Be now you know I've doubted too
But everytime my head was in my
Hands you said to me
Hold on to what we got
This is worth any cost so
Make the most of life
That's borrowed
Love like there's no tomorrow

Start Using Your Measure Of Faith

Start Using Your Measure Of Faith


Romans 12:3
3… God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

As children of God, we should never say, “I don’t have any faith.” To say this is to say that God is a liar because His Word already tells us that “God has dealt to each one a measure of faith”.

Why then does the faith of some seem to be stronger than others?

Well, faith is like muscles. We are all born with a measure of muscles. But some of us develop our muscles better than others. Bodybuilders, for example, exercise their muscles very regularly to make them grow bigger and stronger.

Likewise, your measure of faith grows when you feed and use it. Each time you hear or read God’s Word, you are feeding your faith. When you confess God’s Word and expect good things to happen to you, you are using it. And the more you use it, the more your faith grows.

So use your faith. You could start with headaches, for example. When you have a headache, instead of always running straight for your painkillers, use your faith. Ask God for healing, and trust and thank Him for the healing.

Now, don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with taking medicine. And if you have to go to the doctor, don’t feel condemned either. Just start using your faith at a level you are comfortable with. If you need to go to the doctor, then go in faith, praying, “Abba Father, I am going to the doctor. I am asking You in Jesus’ name to give the doctor wisdom to give me an accurate diagnosis. My trust is not in him but in You.”

And when you take your medicine, don’t just pop in the pills. In faith, say, “Lord, sanctify this medicine,” then take it. This is because some medicines have negative side effects. So when you ask God to sanctify it, He blesses that medicine. And what will be developing in you, growing bigger and possessing your body until it is too widespread, is divine health!

Beloved, you have been given a measure of faith. Start using it, believing that it is this measure of your faith that causes you to draw from the inexhaustible power of a faithful and loving God!

Why God Exist? ( Best Explanation Ever)

BEST EXPLANATION EVER!

This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering
that I have seen:

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.

As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.

They talked about so many things and various subjects.

When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:

"I don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out
in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.

Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?

Would there be abandoned children?

If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.

I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."

The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he
didn't want to start an argument.

The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.

Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with
long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and
unkempt.

The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again

and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.

"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"

"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because

if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and
untrimmed beards, like that man outside."


"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not
come to me."

"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES
exist!

That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him
for help. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

If you think God exists, send this to other people---
If you think God does not exist, delete it!


BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS!!!!!! !

The Cross

A young man was at the end of his rope, seeing no way out, he dropped to his knees in prayer

"Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy a cross to bear."

The Lord replied, "My son, if you can't bear its weight, just place your cross inside this room.

Then, open that other door and pick out any cross you wish."

The man was filled with relief and said, "Thank you Lord," and he did as he was told.

Upon entering the other room, he saw many crosses; some so large the tops were not visible. Then, he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall.

"I'd like that one, Lord," he whispered. The Lord replied, "My son, that is the cross you just brought in."

When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more fortunate than you imagined.


YOUR CROSS

Whatever your cross
Whatever your pain
There will always be sunshine
After the rain

Perhaps you may stumble
Perhaps even fall
But God's always there
To help you through it all

Sad, and thought-provoking...

May God give you the strength and courage to pass this along to everyone on your email buddy list....

I JUST DID!

The Devil and The Duck

The Devil & the Duck (I'M IN THE 93%)
There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm..



He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods.
He practiced in the woods; but he could never hit the target.
Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner.
As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck.










Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved!
In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile; only to see his Sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.



After lunch the next day Grandma said, 'Sally, let's wash the dishes'
But Sally said, 'Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.'
Then she whispered to him, "Remember the duck?'
So Johnny did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, 'I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make supper.'
Sally just smiled and said, 'well that's all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help?
She whispered again, 'Remember the duck?' So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.



After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally's; he finally couldn't stand it any longer.
He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.
Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, 'Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you.'



Thought for the day and every day thereafter:
Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done... And the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.)...whatever it is...You need to know that:
God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing.



He has seen your whole life... He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven. He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you.
The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness; He not only forgives you, but He forgets.


It is by God's grace and mercy that we are saved.
Go ahead and make the difference in someone's life today.
Share this with a friend and always remember:
God is at the window!
