"Jesus Understands Your Struggles" by Joseph Prince

This will bless you.

"Jesus Understands Your Struggles" by Joseph Prince

Hebrews 4:15
15For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

Imagine meeting the new politician who is to represent your district or neighborhood only to discover that he is not familiar with your neighborhood’s needs and problems. You will wonder, “Can this guy really represent us? Does he know anything about our living conditions? Is he familiar with the various challenges that families here are facing? Can he help me get my child into one of the schools here?” I am sure that you would prefer someone who truly understands your challenges to represent you!

In the same way, I am so glad that right now at the Father’s right hand, we have someone who came as a Man to redeem us, and who fully understands what man goes through. When Jesus walked on earth, He went through every human emotion so that He could identify with us in all points. Jesus is God, but He is in the Father’s presence as a Man, representing us.

My friend, you may feel that no one understands your struggles. Listen, while this may be true of man, it is not true of Jesus. He knows exactly what you are going through and He can sympathize with your weaknesses because He was “in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin”.

None of us have been tempted in all points. But God allowed Jesus to be tempted in all points so that He can understand and identify with the struggles of every single person on this earth. He can be touched by our humanity — our weaknesses, tears, disappointments, griefs... all points!

There is no trial, difficulty, challenge or temptation that you face that Jesus cannot identify with. My friend, the moment you go through it, right there and then, He feels it too. That is the kind of representative you have in Jesus! That is the love of God so that you will draw near to His throne of grace (not judgment) to find mercy and grace in time of need! (Hebrews 4:15–16)

You Are Already Blessed by Joseph Prince

God is more willing to bless you than you are willing to be blessed! In fact, He is so keen for you to enjoy His abundance that in His mind, giving you over and above what you need is a settled matter.

God has already promised: “I have given you a land for which you did not labor, and cities which you did not build, and you dwell in them; you eat of the vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant.”

He did not say, “I may give,” which means that it may or may not happen, but He said, “I have given,” which means that it has already happened. It is only a matter of time before your revelation of what you have through the work of Christ brings forth the abundance that He has already blessed you with.

A brother in the United States wrote in to share how he needed to buy a car, but had only half the amount of money needed. He kept calculating and strategizing, but the sums just weren’t adding up. He finally quit trying to make it happen and just rested in the Lord’s love and ability to provide for him. Weeks later, he was able to buy a car that was two years newer than what he had wanted, at exactly the amount that he had!

My friend, expect divine provision in your life because you are already blessed in Christ. Jesus took your place of poverty at the cross — “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.” (2 Corinthians 8:9) In Him, you are poor no more.

So stop looking at the lack in your natural resources. Look to the cross and say, “Because of Jesus’ finished work, I can expect to walk in all of His blessings!”

God is Never Far Away

If problems, confusions, depression come our way,

We can't help but feel so rejected or abandoned.

Then we feel and eventually think that God is so far away.

Busy with something more important.


But guess what, we are soooooo wrong.

God is never far away.

It is just our own thoughts and feelings that are blocking our way

to see God as who He really is.

John 3:16 is one of the Bible proofs that He loves you so.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever

believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

See!

God loves you so much that He gave up His only Son Jesus

so you can have an eternal life!

So you can be with Him forever.





I know it is not that easy to believe.

But I tell, your only task is to believe.

Yes!

Just believe.

And rest in His promises.

Right now,you may can't understand what's happening around you.

Relax.

Because you are always in good hands with our loving God.

When feeling down or sad,

Just read through Psalm 23....

And enjoy His promises in there.

Let us read Psalm 23 together.

---Psalm 23---

A psalm of David.

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

He makes me lie down in green pastures,

He leads me beside quiet waters,

He refreshes my soul.

He guides me along the right paths

for His name’s sake.

Even though I walk

through the darkest valley,

I will fear no evil,

for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff,

they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

Surely Your goodness and love will follow me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.

Don't Rehearse Your Problem

Wooow! This awesome Jesus Calling For Kids Christian iphone/ipad is really blessing me BIG time!

Like I said too many times here in my blog, I highly recommend it to stay in your mobile phones so you can read it anywhere, anytime.

I believe, everyday is a new day
so each day, with new challenges, obstacles or problems we need to be reminded of how much Jesus loves us and how much He wants us to trust in Him.

...stop struggling.

Do not worry.

Just trust in Jesus all the way !!!

Amen!


Don’t Rehearse Your Problems

Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
—Joshua 1:9

Some days are just hard—a tough test, a fight with a friend, trouble at home. You rehearse it over and over in your mind like the words to a song. But when you rehearse your problems that way, you live them over and over again. You were meant to live through them only once—when they actually happen!

Don’t try to figure out how you’ll get through this situation on your own. Come to Me, and let Me guide you and give you My Peace. Don’t forget that I am always with you. I will give you all the strength and courage you need to face whatever challenges come your way. I will turn your worries and your fears into confidence and trust.

Love,
Jesus

"God Gives You Undeserved Preferential Treatment" by Joseph Prince

Romans 1:7
7... Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

When you fly first class in an airplane, the cabin crew gives you first–class treatment. They ask you, “Is everything okay with you, sir?” They ask you what magazines you want to read. They give you a blanket if you are cold. They give you the best kinds of food. They give you preferential treatment compared to those traveling in economy class.

The grace of God is defined as “undeserved, unearned and unmerited favor”. And one of the definitions for favor is “preferential treatment”! Today, God wants you to know that you have His favor on you. He wants you to know that He gives you preferential treatment which you do not deserve. And He wants you to depend on and take full advantage of it in your life.

God also wants you to know that His favor in your life can be increased. You can experience more of His favor from day to day. How? The Bible tells us in 2 Peter 1:2 that God’s grace (or favor) is multiplied to us “in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord”. The more you behold Jesus and His love for you, the more you believe and confess that God’s favor is on you, the more you will see His favor work for you.

So if you are a doctor, you will find patients favoring you and you will have more patients than you can handle. If you are a businessman, you will find people just wanting to do business with you because they like you and feel good about you. Then, you will have more business than you can handle and you will need to plan for expansion!

When the favor of God shines on your church, you will find its premises too small for the people who queue up week after week to attend the services! So when people wonder and ask, “What is happening here?” you can tell them, “It is the favor of God multiplied all over us!” And it is all undeserved, unearned and unmerited!

Few minutes of reading any of these makes you more closer to Jesus so just try to download this iphone/ipad app "Jesus Calling For Kids". It's worth $9 on the appstore but it's really worth it.
It has a FREE lite version too to get a taste of it.

"Let Go"

Jesus has the power of God. His power has given us everything we need to live and to serve God. We have these things because we know him. Jesus called us by his glory and goodness.
—2 Peter 1:3 (ICB)

Imagine that your life is a video game. Now, let go of the controls and let Me have control instead. That is what trust looks like. It is letting go and remembering that I am God. This is My world: I made it and I control it. You show your love for Me by letting Me have control in your life.

When you pray, I want you to share everything with Me: your joys and heartaches, your struggles and triumphs, your worries and questions. I am your best Friend—pour out your heart to Me. And then thank Me for the answers that are already on the way. When you trust Me to be in control, you can let go of your worries and live closer to Me.

- Jesus
