About thejourneyinchrist

God has placed a burden to send weekly encouraging emails to our friends. Initially we have sent to a team of friends. As the word of God says "For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." (Isaiah 55:10-11) Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the water I (Jesus Christ) give will never thirst - not ever. The water I give will be an artisan spring within, gushing fountains of endless life. If any one thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Rivers of living water will brim and spill out of the depths of anyone who believes in me this way, just as the scripture says ' You'll be like a well watered garden, a gurgling spring that never runs dry. John 4: 13-14, John 7: 38-39; Isaiah 58:11 God's word: For the LORD will rebuild Zion and appear in his glory. He will respond to the prayer of the destitute; he will not despise their plea. Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the LORD: “The LORD looked down from his sanctuary on high, from heaven he viewed the earth, to hear the groans of the prisoners and release those condemned to death.” So the name of the LORD will be declared in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem when the peoples and the kingdoms assemble to worship the LORD. Ps 102: 16 - 22 Then the word of the LORD came to me: "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you. "Who despises the day of small things? Men will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. "(These seven are the eyes of the LORD, which range throughout the earth.)" Zechariah 4 : 8-10. Haggai 2 : 4 and 5 But now be strong, O Zerubbabel,' declares the LORD. 'Be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,' declares the LORD, 'and work. For I am with you,' declares the LORD Almighty. 'This is what I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. And my Spirit remains among you. Do not fear.' "THE LORD ALMIGHTY IS MUSTERING AN ARMY FOR WAR. IS 13:4" We have experienced the great favor and power of God in His words. Jesus said we are the light the world. Be a light.

Word: Hebrews 4: 16; Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4: 16

Thought: Prayer is our approach to God, and we are to come “boldly” because He is our friend and Counselor. But also come with reverence because He is our King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Christ Jesus teaching on Prayer

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

Christ Jesus teaching on Prayer:

And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Matthew 6: 7-13

A call to total Surrender

A call to total Surrender

Word:

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.  And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death even death on a cross! Philippians 2:5-8 (NIV)

Thought: Christ Jesus was humble, willing to give up his rights in order to obey God and serve people. Like, Christ Jesus, we should have a servant attitude, serving out of love for God.

Remember, you can choose your attitude. You can approach life expecting to be served or you can look for opportunities to serve others.

Christ Jesus servant’s attitude: Mark 10: 45

Paul’s Prayer for Spiritual Growth

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

Paul’s Prayer for Spiritual Growth

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3: 14 – 21

Thought:

God’s love in Christ Jesus for us is total. It reaches every corner of our experience.

God’s love in Christ Jesus for us is long – it continues the length of our lives.

God’s love in Christ Jesus for us is high – it rises to the heights of our celebration and elation

God’s love in Christ Jesus for us is deep – it reaches to the depths of discouragement or despair (Romans 8: 38 and 39)

Acts 1: 8 says, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the Earth.

Thought: The “Power” believers receive from the Holy Spirit includes courage, boldness, confidence in Christ Jesus, insight, ability, and authority. The disciples would need all these gifts to fulfill their mission. If you believe in Christ Jesus as your LORD and Savior, you can experience the power of Holy Spirit in your life.

 “Core of Christian living”

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12: 21

Thought: Forgiveness involves both attitudes and actions. If you find it difficult to feel forgiving toward someone who has hurt you, try responding with kind actions. In due time, we will reap a harvest of blessing.

Sword of God

Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10

Word: Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage – with great patience and careful instruction. II Tim 4: 2

Thought: Preaching the word of God is the most important responsibility the Church and its members had been given. Be prepared for, courageous in, and sensitive to God-given opportunities to tell the Good news of LORD Jesus Christ.

Stand firm in Christ
