Down But Not Out

This is sooooo true.

And I have felt that "peace" when 2 years ago my dad and my sister

passed away within one month time.

I was sooo sad, and yet, deep inside ,there was this peace

that I couldn't explain of.

It was like telling me that "Don't worry, my child, everything's gona be alright"

And then I was ok.

My friends and my boss even complimented me for they taught

I was so strong to handle what had happened.

When it wasn't..

It wasn't me.. It was Jesus who was lifting me up..

It was a total peace far beyond human understanding!

Read on..

Down But Not Out

2 Corinthians 4:8–9
8We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed…

Before you were a Christian, when something sad or bad happened to you, you cried until you had no more tears left. Your heart simply broke into pieces, and you felt trapped, depressed and totally defeated.

But after having become a Christian, when something bad happens to you, you may still cry, but you feel comforted inside. You are sad outwardly, but your heart isn’t heavy. You don’t understand why, but deep down inside you, there is something lifting you up. That something buoyant, which is rising from the inside of you, is the life of Christ in you!

You cannot be completely distressed because Christ in you is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6) who says to you, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27)

Yes, it may be a bad situation and you are in a tight spot, but Christ in you is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6), and He says to you, “It will all be all right. I will provide a way out for you.”

You know you are not defeated because Christ in you is your victory (1 Corinthians 15:57) and He says to you, “You are not fighting for victory, but fighting from victory because you already have the victory in Me.”

Before you knew Christ, when you were down, you were out. But now, when you are down, you are not out because Christ in you is the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27) “Hope” in the Bible means a definite, positive expectation of good.

So Christ in you is the definite, positive expectation of a glorious marriage! Christ in you is the definite, positive expectation of a glorious family! Christ in you is the definite positive expectation of glorious health! Christ in you is the definite positive expectation of a glorious life!

My friend, Christ in you is the definite, positive expectation of all the glories of God revealed to you. No bad circumstance that you are in can or will ever cause you to be destroyed or forsaken by God!

Round-The-Clock Protection

I always wanted to have a protection.

Protection from all the diseases that's attacking the world.

Protection from tsunamis, earthquakes, terrorism, holdapers, murderers

and any bad people around.

So far, I have not encountered any of those.

Thank you , Jesus!

I know, God is with me.

All the time.

Even from slipping my foot to have that big fall. He is there.

Few years back, especially in my college days,

Just like in the movies, I wished someone like

Superman, batman, or any other superheroes can protect me.

Obviously, I was wrong.

Even if they exist, with the world's population,

they'd be soooo busy attending to everyone's needs

which left me thinking how long are they able to get fast

enough on me to save me.

Unlike my God, who is with me.

Yes!

My God is in me, so I believe everywhere I go I have that protection 24/7!

Now, I can go anywhere I want to without fears on about anything!

Thank you Jesus!!!

Thank you for liberating me from my fears!

Another powerful message from Pastor Joseph Prince peepz!

Enjoy and keep believing God's protection not only for you

but for your loved ones as well!

Round-The-Clock Protection
Psalm 91:5–6 5You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, 6nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
During World War II, German planes bombed London. Houses were leveled. But there was one that remained standing amidst the rubble. Its owner said that when she read Psalm 121:4, which says, “Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep,” she told the Lord, “Lord, since You don’t sleep, then there is no point in both of us keeping awake. I will sleep while You keep watch.” And she did, while the Lord protected her and her house. In 2005, terrorists attacked London’s public transport system. That day, a Singaporean girl found herself unexpectedly late for work and could not get to the train station in time to board her usual train. When she finally neared the station, she realized that it had been bombed just a few minutes earlier. Her mother, who worships in our church, believes that God protected her daughter that day. God wants you to know that you have round-the-clock protection — “You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.” He protects you from “the terror by night”, which could refer to evils such as rape, kidnap or murder. He promises you protection from “the arrow that flies by day”. This could refer to bullets from a crazy sniper, drive-by shootings or home-made rockets fired into your territory. God also shields you from “the pestilence that walks in darkness”, referring to viruses which you cannot see. You don’t have to be afraid of deadly viruses lurking somewhere or wonder if some deadly disease is developing in your body. God also doesn’t want you to be afraid of “the destruction that lays waste at noonday”, such as a tsunami hitting the beach resort you are at, or a bomb going off in the shopping mall you are in. You need not be afraid because God, who neither slumbers nor sleeps, is watching over you 24 hours a day!

I Keep Praising My Abba, Father No Matter What

I'm feeling good now.

Though..

negative, positive thoughts keep churning on my mind lately.

With negative thoughts? I deal with it by speaking in tongues.

But there are moments, where everything seems going nowhere.

I still feel so lost;

thoughts about life, living with a purpose and being sick for a while

start to shake my world.

What is the best thing to do in my situation right now?

Maybe, I need to step out on myself and go a little bit higher to see more of

what's eating up my soul for awhile.

Or maybe...

Well, enuf said.

I can actually talk a lot of things today ..but let me stop from here.

I feel like writing to Jesus.

Dear Jesus,

I may have acted pretty bad lately, in a bad mood, confused,

experiencing some unbeliefs maybe because I wanted to do things

on my own and wants the result done soon.

It frustrates me. Really... but now, I'm giving it all up.

But the problem is..

I don't know what to give up...

So now, I am asking you

whatever it is please take everything away from me.

Everything that's so heavy on me..

my thoughts,

my plans,

my needs or wants,

my wishes

even my dreams..

Even if it's such a burden to me..Please take it away.

I only want to come to you as I am...with nothing.

Thank you Jesus...

Thank you , Abba..

Thank you for keeping me with me -- no matter what...

Let me share another powerful devotional from Pastor Prince my dear beloveds,

As this message for today have answered what's churning in my mind.

Be blessed...and shalom.

Thanking God At All Times

Hebrews 13:15
15Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.

Lifting up your hands and thanking God is spontaneous and easy when you have just received a wonderful blessing: “God, I can’t thank You enough for this miracle!”

“Thank You Father, for answering my prayer!”

“Father, thank You for the windfall!”

Perhaps you came close to being in a fatal accident, but God plucked you out of danger just in time. Or your grandmother, an unbeliever for many years, finally received Jesus as her Savior and got healed of a long-term disease.

But there are times when you don’t feel like lifting up your hands to thank and praise God, yet you do it. Perhaps you feel very discouraged lately. Perhaps everything is going wrong for you and you feel like your life is in a mess. You can’t hold back the tears. Yet, you make a conscious decision to lift your hands and thank God for being in the situation with you. You open your mouth and begin to praise Him even though you really don’t feel like doing it.

In the midst of the trial that you are going through, you praise Him that He is your righteousness in spite of all the mistakes you have made. You thank Him that He is your Prince of Peace, and that His peace will arise in you and still the storms in your life.

My friend, God sees and appreciates such times when, despite feeling so discouraged, you offer a freewill thanksgiving offering to Him. In fact, your thanksgiving during such times is more highly prized by Him than your thanksgiving during those times when you are feeling joyful because you have just been blessed.

And when you choose to thank Him for His unfailing love, and His faithfulness to deliver, protect and provide for you even when you don’t see the blessings yet, before long, you will find yourself experiencing and enjoying the blessings! So lift your hands and praise the Lord, for He is good, and His mercy endures forever! (Psalm 106:1)

So I Speak In Tongues (Again and Again)

Me and my loved one feels so unwell today. .. so weak..so bored...

Now I speak in tongues.

I speak in tongues for healing, for wellness and restoration!

and claim boldly,

"By Jesus stripes we are healed!"

Healing is on us because of what Jesus has done on the cross!

Thank you Jesus, I received our healing...

what we are feeling right now is just temporary.

Thank you, Abba, Father for I know You will always protect us..

In You, we take refuge...

"“As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.” (Psalm 18:30) "

I am listening to this sermon.. The only best thing that I can do ...

Redeemed From The Curse Of Sickness

The Power Of Life and Death Is In Your Tongue

On the first part of this video, Michael Jackson promised his London fans

that the concert he's gonna have will be HIS LAST.

He even iterated it.

Indeed, what the Bible is saying on Proverbs 18:21 is true.

"The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit."

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.

Michael Jackson Couldn't Sleep

Reading from the latest update of Michael Jackson's death

has given me a very grateful heart...

No, it's not because Michael died. . . it's something else.

Let me give you some snippets of the latest Michael Jackson's investigation

on his death.

"The powerful sedative Diprivan was found in Michael Jackson's home.

Diprivan is an anesthetic widely used in operating rooms to induce unconsciousness. Also known as Propofol, it's given intravenously and is very unusual to have in a private home.

Jackson was known to have suffered from severe insomnia. In the weeks before his death, Cherilyn Lee, a registered nurse who was working with the singer, said Jackson pleaded for Diprivan amid the stress of preparing for a massive series of comeback concerts.

Lee said she repeatedly rejected his demands because the drug was unsafe.

Told Friday that Diprivan had been found at Jackson's house, she said, "I did everything I could to warn him against it."

Jackson had trouble sleeping as far back as 1989, said one of his former publicists, Rob Goldstone, who spent a month on the road with Jackson during the "Bad" tour.

"He had very bad nightmares, he found it very difficult to sleep," Goldstone said.

Diprivan, which has a milky appearance, is sometimes nicknamed "milk of amnesia." Last fall, doctors from the Mayo Clinic warned at a conference that in rare cases, Diprivan can trigger an irreversible chain of events leading to heart dysfunction and death."

Reading from it all.

I can say that this doesn't happen to Michael Jackson alone.

It happens to everyone who doesn't want to look up

and just simply talk to God about their worries,problems, depressions and frustrations in life.

Instead, they look unto what their pockets could do and have..

as if they can just purchase LIFE in a drugstore anytime.

Yeah! Buy some drugs! (which is just temporary)

Michael Jackson has the millions. But he couldn't buy that sleep that

he's been longing for.

He has fame, but his fans and followers can only adore his name, twit about his songs

and get fascinated by his dance moves.

Maybe his family , friends or loved ones right now have thought of giving up his millions

or even fame just to bring his life back.

But it doesn't work that way.:(

I am just glad Jesus has found me and have turned series of events of the world

to know that really, nothing in this world can fill that void in one's heart.

Not drugs,alcohol,fame,party all the time, money or shopping.

And most of all,

no one can give me that deep, quality sleep which Michael Jackson is deprived of.

It's only Jesus!!!

Lemme say it again.. it's JESUUUUUS!!!

Thank you Jesuss!! Keep me and my loved ones in your heart forever!

Thank you for
