God Is Not Punishing You For Some Sin

Good day everyon!
Rejoice in this good news everyday of your life and
see how far this TRUTH will take you.

God Is Not Punishing You For Some Sin


Ephesians 1:7
7In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

Some Christians believe that although you have forgiveness of sins, you are not free from the penalties of your sins. In other words, you can still expect punishment from God. For example, some married Christian couples have been told that they are childless because God is punishing them for having had pre-marital sex. So although God has forgiven them of that sin, He still has to punish them for it.

I am certainly not for pre-marital sex, but I want you to know that God, who is the only one who can fully appreciate the full value of His Son’s blood and who is completely satisfied by His Son’s sacrifice, is at rest in His heart today concerning your sins! That is why He is not against you even when you fail. Neither is He out to punish you when you sin. No, He still loves you, is for you and wants to help you overcome that sin.

In the Old Testament, the blood of bulls and goats could only “cover” sins and not take them away. (Hebrews 10:4) But the blood of Jesus is not like the blood of animals! For by one sacrifice, the eternal blood of the Son of God has forever removed your sins (Psalm 103:12) and cleansed you of all unrighteousness! (1 John 1:9) In fact, God is so satisfied with His Son’s perfect work that He says to you today, “Your sins and lawless deeds I will by no means remember!” (Hebrews 10:17) And if God does not remember them, why would He punish you for them?

Beloved, you have “redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace”. Because Jesus’ work is complete, all your sins have been completely forgiven. And complete forgiveness means that the penalties for your sins can no longer fall on you because they had already fallen on Jesus at the cross. (Isaiah 53:5)

So don’t think for one moment that God is punishing you for some sin just because something bad happened to you. Look to the cross and know that all your sins have already been punished fully in the body of Christ. Believe that God is for you and expect victory!

Unworthy Me!!

Some Christian preachers would simply point their fingers at you making you feel more unworthy of God's love.

Don't fret!

Because it's true.

We are all unworthy.

From the very first day that we came out from our mother's womb, until today. And even tomorrow.

We will always be unworthy of His love.

That's why---

We need Jesus!


That's why Jesus sacrificed Himself at the cross!

He took all our pains, diseases and sins and put it on His perfect and holy body so we, as sinners, if we just BELIEVE in Him,
would become perfect in God's eyes.

God knows that we'd be forever sinful!
And the only way to save us from that is
to have a one-time sacrifice for us all-- forever!

And that's JESUS!!!

Then Jesus , before committing His spirit
to God, cried out loud , 'IT IS FINISHED!!"

Jesus has redeemed us so perfectly!

And now, I know God is no longer mad at us because of what He did.

I am just pissed with some 'perfect' Christians outhere who act like as if they could control the world.

No one knows what's inside in God's heart and mind right now.

But one thing I'm sure of,

That He is no longer mad at you and me who believes.
It's not because that He stooped down to our level as sinners and just forget about everything that we have done but it's because of. ..

Jesus sacrifice on the cross.

So pls, perfect Christians! Stop putting up the show!

If you want someone to really change and lead an honest to goodness holy and perfect life without sins, don't stress him out by telling him what he should do or not!
Lead Him to the cross!!

Don't force him to attend Bible study and memorize scriptures all day, and do good things or tell him to keep track of all the good things that he has done if deep inside he's not into it because that is soooo sickening!

Drown him with the Word!
Not your words but God's Words!

Let the power of God transform his heart instead.
Let him enjoy His presence and not runaway from Him!

I believe in God's power to change people
within.

I honor Jesus' blood when He shed it for my own sake so I can have a LIFE!!

I know, Jesus one time sacrifice on the cross has washed my sins clean.

I am now perfect in God's eyes all because
Of
JESUUUUUS!

And God knows I'll be forever thankful for it.

Yeah! I am unworthy. I am a sinner.

But I spend most of my time praising Him.

What about you 'perfect' Christians.

I bet you spend most of your time trying to point out someone else's mistakes somewhere while holding your Bible bombarding them with scriptures!



Well, I say to you. It shall take you forever.

Don't tell me what to do!

I'm a Christian but please don't tell me what to do!

Ok I have received this in my inbox from one of my Christian groups
in facebook who preached...

"How can you say you are a follower of Jesus if you associate with the world, compete with the world and want to be like the world? If you follow Jesus you will talk like Jesus, live like Jesus and act like Jesus. Who are we fooling but ourselves?"

Let me ask you,
how do you feel if you read something like this?

If you're not a believer yet, probably, you'd stay away from Jesus
because honestly, it's hard to become like Jesus!

If you're a baby Christian, this may lead you to ask a lot of questions
and wonder if you're on the right congregation or not..confusing you even more.

Or you might start to have some doubts if you really want to follow Jesus
..because in the reality and human as we are..it's really hard to act like Jesus.

And then one day you just decide
to finally give up your faith on somewhere you think is practical and easy because that thought itself of "following Jesus" is stressing you out.

Been there ! Done that!

I stayed away from Jesus for so long because of this kind of preaching.
"If you're a Christian, you must become like one..act like one...do this...do that!"


Helllooooo! Don't give me those LAWS!!!

How to become like Jesus??

I don't want to become a hypocrite.
I can honestly say to you that I can't.

If I, with my own power and might, I'd become Jesus.

Then I wouldn't need Jesus in my life anymore!

Just like if you become a superman or any other heroes..

You don't need someone with a special power same as you to save the world.
or else, the other one will become useless.

Well, that's what I thought!

It's really hard to become like Jesus!

Believing God with whom you haven't seen personally is a
struggle enough of your faith.


So pleeeeease , "Perfect" Christians..let me walk in faith first.

I want to become UNCONSCIOUSLY like Jesus!

That I do good, not because doing good is good but it just merely comes
naturally in me...unconsciously.

I feel so mad right now.

I hate this kind of Christian preaching!

If I won't become like Jesus...then at least let me stay with Him..

Is that so much of a problem with you oh so "perfect" Christians???

(Speaks in tongues)

Everytime I feel like this.. I just grab one of Pastor Joseph Prince' sermon
and get drown with it.

and oh, one more thing, if you perfect Christians are really into so following and acting like Jesus..then let me ask you.. Did Jesus use the internet too?
By joining facebook and be online and looking for some sinners to point your gun into
and firing out your bullets on facebook or any other social networking sites
is you call what?! lolx!


Keys To Manifesting The Glory Of His Presence

I am healed!!!

I got little headaches and muscle pains on my back lately.
I don't like feeling this way.
It makes me soooo uncomfortable about life and I feel
like it's pulling me down.

Then I heard, a voice telling me..

"If you were healed by your Jesus, then how come you are feeling that way?
Do you feel that he is for real now that you're going to be sick?"

That made me pause for a while...and thought.

Pro 4:23 Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.

Then

I say,

"Heyyyy! I am not going to be sick. I am going to be well!
I maybe experiencing some pains today but God has bring back
my healing 2,000 years ago because of what Jesus did!

Don't make me wonder anymore, you devil! You are such a loser!

(Speaks in tongues)


Thank you for my healing, Lord!

I claim it no matter what...for I believe

The things which we can see with our physical eyes are temporary and will surely pass away, but the things which are not seen with our physical eyes are eternal... (2 Corinthians 4:18)


Yessss!! These pains that I have in me right now, are just temporary!

My healing comes from only You and You alone..

Let it be this way forever!

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." -Isaiah 41:10

Just in time.. I saw this video on youtube.

See how God assures me of His healing?

Protected Under His Wings

Singapore has confirmed its first case of Influenza A (H1N1).

Shall I be afraid?


Strangely but honestly, I am not.

For I am secured and I believe in God's protection over me.

Everywhere I go, that's my badge, "I AM PROTECTED"

for one thousand shall fall on my left hand and ten thousand on my right hand,
IT SHALL NOT COME NEAR ME! In Jesus mighty name!!!

Feed on this awesome message from Pastor Joseph Prince my friends.

and whatever the world is trying to tell you right now...

bad economy, recession, deaths, suicides, deadly diseases.

Let PEACE dwells in your heart.

That's all we gotta have...

One thing needful, you just have to REST in Him...


Safe Under God’s Wings

Psalm 91:4
4He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge…

A farmer walked around his farm to take stock of his losses after a fire had destroyed it. When he came to the chicken coop, he noticed the charred carcass of a mother hen. He used his foot to turn the carcass over and to his surprise, live chicks ran out from under it! The mother hen had died protecting her chicks from the fire.

In the Bible, wings speak of protection. David said to God, “Hide me under the shadow of Your wings.” (Psalm 17:8) Jesus Himself offered protection to the Jewish nation when He said, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!” (Luke 13:34)

He wanted to gather the children of Israel under His wings to protect them, but they were not willing. That was why He wept over Jerusalem. He literally shed tears because He saw the destruction that would come upon His people. He saw the Roman siege of Jerusalem in AD70, when the Romans burnt the city and holy temple, slaughtered many, took some captive and sold others as slaves. (Luke 19:41–44) I believe that He also saw the Holocaust of World War II, which resulted in the extermination of six million Jews.

For us, because we have not rejected Jesus, but have received Him as our Savior, we have His protection, especially in these times of deadly pestilences, natural catastrophes and terrorist attacks.

Like the mother hen who spread her wings and died protecting her chicks, Jesus spread His wings of love and died on the cross for us. And after He had died to save us, He rose again and lives today to make sure that we are well taken care of.

Beloved, see yourself under the wings of your Savior, who has promised you this in His Word: “He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge.”

My New Alarm Clock



I got addicted of facebook games and this made me stay up late lately.
Everyday I wake up so sluggish and when at work, I feel so sleepy.

I didn't like it. And I want more energy.

So last night. I knew that I will have a hard time waking up around 6 in the morning,
and then I anticipated , I'm gona be so lazy getting up for work again.

So a thought came to my mind.

After playing several games which made me drowsy around 1.30 am...
I just asked Jesus to wake me up instead.

I don't like to use my alarm because I feel pressure on it and
it makes me irritable ...

So, I thought, maybe Jesus can do something about it.




tic tac..tic tac...

morning comes....

I woke up around 6.20am...



And let me tell you, I woke up feeling so refreshed and energised
as if I got an 8hr sleep.

I'm here in my office now.

Not feeling sleepy, sluggish or irritable..but instead so hyper
and happy.:)

It's amazing!

It's totally a different feeling waking up with Jesus!

I couldn't explain!

Maybe you'll just need to try it yourself.

Before sleeping and if you feel so stress out and tired
about anything, just talk to Him and let Him wake you up
in the morning.

It works for me.

Just try it!


Thank you Jesus!
