Breathe on me, breathe of God
Love and life that makes me free
Breathe on me, breathe of God
Fan the flame within me,
Teach my heart, heal my soul,
Speak the life, that in Christ we know
Take me to your sancuary, breathe on me
Breathe on me, breathe of God
Love and life that makes me free
Breathe on me, breathe of God
Fan the flame within me,
Speak to me, voice of God
Soft and still, inside of us
Speak to me, Word of God
Comfort heal, restore my life
Teach my heart, heal my soul,
Speak the life, that in Christ we know
Take me to your sancuary, breathe on me...

Look To The Word, Not Natural Facts
Look To The Word, Not Natural Facts
Numbers 21:9
9So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.
"Pastor Prince, I know that God is my healer. But why is this sickness and pain still in my body?” If you have been looking at your sickness and pain all this while, stop looking at yourself and start looking at Jesus. Did He or did He not take upon Himself your sickness and pain?
God’s Word declares, “Surely our sicknesses he hath borne, and our pains — he hath carried them…” (Isaiah 53:4, YLT) Since Jesus has already taken your sickness and pain at the cross, then He cannot “untake” them. Even if you find it hard to believe that Jesus has paid for your healing, especially when the pain is unbearable, the truth is that it is still paid for. It is a finished work!
God is not saying that your sickness does not exist, nor is He asking you to pretend that it is not there. He is asking you to look away from the sickness, painful as it may be, and look to the truth that it has already been judged at the cross in the body of His Son.
Once, while still in the wilderness, the children of Israel were bitten by deadly desert serpents. The serpents were real. The bites were painful and deadly. So God told Moses to point the people to the bronze serpent put on a pole — a picture of the cross. (John 3:14) Bronze signifies judgment. In other words, the serpent — their problem — was already judged at the cross.
Those who kept their eyes on the bronze serpent lived. Those who focused on their wounds died. So stop looking at your sickness. Instead, look to the cross and see your sickness already judged in the body of Jesus. Surely He has borne your sicknesses and carried your pains! That is the truth of God’s Word. And His Word supersedes natural facts.
My friend, you let natural facts rule or establish God’s truths over your problem by what you choose to focus on. So decide today not to focus on the facts concerning your problem. Instead, establish the truth of God’s Word and Christ’s finished work over your problem — and live!

See The Miraculous When You Give Thanks
See The Miraculous When You Give Thanks
John 11:41
41Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
Jesus lived a life of thanksgiving. He always thanked His Father for what He had and for always hearing Him when He prayed. That was how He released miracles in His life.
In the story of the feeding of the five thousand (John 6:1–13), Jesus’ attitude was one of thankfulness. He took a little boy’s lunch of five loaves and two fish, gave thanks and had them distributed. He gave thanks for the little that was there and the little multiplied. Not only did the people eat as much as they wanted, there were 12 baskets full of leftovers!
So when you see the meager balance in your bank account, thank the Lord for what you have. That’s your “five loaves and two fish”. When you give Him thanks that He is your provider and the source of your supply, in spite of the little you have, your little will become much, with leftovers!
Even when faced with the impossible, the solution was still, “Father, I thank You…” When Jesus stood outside Lazarus’ tomb, and the people took away the stone that was covering the tomb, He did not see the situation as hopeless and impossible. He simply lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.” Then, He proceeded to call forth Lazarus, and the man came forth alive once more!
The raising of Lazarus, who had been dead for more than four days, was one of Jesus’ greatest miracles. And He accomplished this by saying, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.” He thanked His way to an awesome miracle.
My friend, the next time you find yourself praying, “God, please do this for me! Please give me...” stop! Instead, say, “Thank You God, for hearing me. And because You have heard me, I thank You that I have what I asked for.” And when you thank God, the little that you have will multiply. Your impossible situations will turn around to reflect God’s provision. And resurrection life will hit you!

Today’s Bread Is Not For Tomorrow
I am learning to trust God now whatever it takes.
This is going to be a good habit. I know.
Hebrews 11:1 says, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen.”
After several years of soul-searching, everything has come to fruition and
now it's time to use my Faith to someone that I know who is not going to fail me.
Yes! That is God..and Jesus!
It's better this way..
No stress and just fun!
Sharing another powerful message from Pastor Joseph Prince.
Enjoy and be blessed!
----Today’s Bread Is Not For Tomorrow----
Matthew 6:11
11Give us this day our daily bread.
Doctors have discovered that worry, stress, fear and anxiety can cause stomach ulcers, high blood pressure and other health problems. The Bible says that a merry heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones. (Proverbs 17:22) It also says that God wants us to prosper and be in health, even as our soul prospers. (3 John 1:2)
When our church was much smaller, I used to worry a lot about my sermons weeks before I even preached them! I was so stressed that I developed symptoms in my body. Two doctors checked me on separate days and found my blood pressure to be very high. Other tests found traces of blood in my urine. I even had mild panic attacks. I believe that the devil was trying to undermine my ministry and destroy me.
But praise God, He delivered and healed me, and taught me not to worry. Today, the church is a lot bigger and I have learnt by the grace of God not to worry. The verse that set me free was this: “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow…” (Matthew 6:34) You see, if you worry about tomorrow, you are trying to live tomorrow today!
My friend, God does not want you to do that. Jesus taught us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.” He did not say, “Give us this day our weekly bread.” God gives us daily bread, not weekly bread. God doesn’t give tomorrow’s bread today. And today’s bread is not meant for tomorrow!
This means that God wants you to live today and not worry about what will happen or what you have to do tomorrow. He gives you sufficient grace for today, not tomorrow.
“But Pastor Prince, I have a very important presentation to give tomorrow!”
Beloved, when tomorrow comes, the bread — provision and grace — will be there. I am not advocating laziness and inactivity. By all means, do your homework, but don’t worry about it. Just trust the One who wants you to give Him all your cares (1 Peter 5:7), and enjoy His peace and life today!

I'd still worship Him
I have faced so many Goliaths today pointing at me
and reminding me of how I sinful I am.
Yes. too bad. Someway or another,
I may have failed Him because I stumbled,
I got hurt,
I got mad,
I thought unjustly of others
I was pissed.
I lost my temper.
and I somehow, yes..I failed big time.
Funny thing is, this made me more conscious of Jesus' love for me,
thanking Him even more..
Thinking where would I be now if He didn't come to save me?
I thank God every moment of my life for sending His Son, Jesus
so I can be saved.
For now, no matter I do..
or no matter I would feel how unworthy I would become, I'd still declare.
"I am the righteousness of God in Christ!"
So many preachers today preachers a lot of scary things.
You will know that it's scary because it stresses you out.
I'd say, "Ruuuun!"
Just listen to what you heart needs to say...
I know He will guide you..because He is in you.
Let's stand in worship to our Lord and maker!
