Dear all.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15: 13

Fear not! Stand Still! See the miraculous deliverance of our LORD!

Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. Exodus 14: 13 – 14

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” – Psalm 46: 10

Thought:

Trusting in the LORD Jesus is the patient expectation that God will fulfill His promises in his Word and strengthen us to rise above life’s difficulties.

Do you have confidence in Christ Jesus that His purposes are right? Do you believe God loves you and wants the best for you?

In Christ-Jesus, we have everything we need for salvation and for living the Christian life. Thank God for what we have received in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1). We will have days of Heaven on Earth when we remember God always and in all things.

Plague on Israel was Stopped – II Samuel 24:25

Dear all,

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. Phil 1: 2

Word: II Samuel 24:25 says that “David built an altar to the Lord there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then the Lord answered his prayer in behalf of the land, and the plague on Israel was stopped.”

Thought:

We are here to intervene like Abraham (Genesis 18), Daniel (Daniel 9), Esther (Esther 8) and our LORD Jesus Christ (John 17). Let us stand in the gap for God’s healing touch on people’s hearts (Ezekiel 22:30) and may God hear our prayers and let this plague be stopped by Him.

The Lord of the Armies is with us. We stand still and know that He is God! (Psalms 46:9-11).

“Seeing Our World through the Eyes of Jesus” – Casting Down the Strongholds in Jesus’ Name!

Leave a reply

Dear all,

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16: 13 -14.

Casting down the strongholds in Jesus’ name:

A stronghold is defined as “something” that holds you back from your walk with the LORD Jesus Christ. What is holding you back from spending quality time in fasting and praying?

Word:  When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven. Nehemiah 1: 4

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Nehemiah+1&version=NIV

Thought:  “Seeing our world through the eyes of Jesus”

Nehemiah intensely mourned about the condition of Jerusalem, but he didn’t just talk about it. After his initial grieving, he prayed, pouring his heart out to God, and he looked for ways to improve the situation.  Nehemiah fasted and prayed for several days, expressing his sorrow for Israel’s sin and his desire that Jerusalem would again come alive with the worship of one true God.

Nehemiah called the people to intercede with tears and repentance. How can we be without compassion for our children, youngsters, and families who are trapped in the grip of Satan? Isn’t it our responsibility to pray for them?

 Prayer: Loving Heavenly Father, give us the grace to pray like Nehemiah for those who are afflicted and for our nation for a great revival. In Jesus’ mighty name – Amen.

“Alpha and the Omega”

Leave a reply

Dear all,

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16: 13 -14.

Word: Revelation 1: 7-8

Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen.  “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+1%3A7-8&version=NASB

Thought: When we put our trust in Christ Jesus, no matter what the circumstances are we can rejoice in the new life in him at every moment of life. God is the “Alpha and the Omega” – the beginning and the end. He is the eternal God, unlimited by time. He is also the Almighty, able to do anything. We can have hope and peace because God is in control of our past, present and future.

Revival is an experience in the Church; Evangelism is an expression of the Church – Paul-S. Rees.

God is our Refuge and Strength, an ever-Present Help in Trouble

Leave a reply

Dear all,

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.  II Cor 1: 2

Word:        

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Psalms 46: 1 – 3

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. John 15: 1 – 4.

Thought: How can I receive strength and confidence?

LORD Jesus is our eternal refuge and gives strength and confidence in all circumstances.

Thought Conditioners: God’s Clock doesn’t Function Like a Man’s Clock

Leave a reply

Dear all,

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15: 13

Word of God:

Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell. Psalms 43: 3

Keep your conscience clear. 1 Peter 3: 16

You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance. The grasslands of the wilderness overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness. The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing. Psalms 65: 11-13

A couple of thoughts:

  • God’s clock doesn’t function like a man’s clock.
  • Never underestimate the resurrected power of Christ Jesus in you. Retain the promises of Godin your consciousness. This will give you the strength to overcome every difficulty you are facing in this faith journey.
  • Be brave in Christ Jesus. Ask God to fill your heart with the confidence in Christ Jesus.
  • How often do we pour out our hearts to God? How often do you give him a specific request to answer?
  • True faith in Christ Jesus transforms our conduct, attitude, character, speech pattern, motives, and actions.
  • Motives are just as important as actions.
  • Quiet convictions often earn long term respect.
  • God’s opinion is important.
  • Remembering God’s faithfulness is worth a pause for reflection.
  • When God forgives our sins He totally forgets them.
  • Don’t stop trusting God just as you are ready to reach your goal.
  • Be corrected by God and become who God intended. Train your tongue to speak well!
  •        Are you a fan or a follower? No matter what the cost, let us follow the footprints of Jesus.

Do we have Authentic Friends in Christ-Jesus?

Leave a reply

Dear all,

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15: 13

Word: Mark 2: 1 – 12

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+2%3A1-12&version=NIV

Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Verses 3 – 5.

Thought:

Jesus came not only to heal physical problems but also to solve the sin problem. If we have not yet come to know Jesus, we are paralyzed in spirit, as powerless to help ourselves as was this paralyzed man. If our faith is still too weak to carry us to the point of healing, the faith of “four friends” may be enough to get us there. Adapted from Every Man’s Bible, Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.

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

What will God Testify about you and me? 

Leave a reply
Greetings in LORD Jesus Christ’s mighty name.
 
Praise Him- for His love endures forever
 
Psalm 113:3
From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
    the name of the Lord is to be praised.  
 
Such is the greatness of our Lord and God almighty. He is Holy and He is worthy to be praised. This is what we see in Revelation 4:8-11
 

…“‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’[a] who was, and is, and is to come.”….“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will, they were created and have their being.”  

There is so much more in Praising God than we can ever imagine (especially in our struggles).  When we start praising God, Our focus changes from self to GOD. This is where we often have trouble, especially in difficult times. But the movement we open our hearts to praise HIM, He fills us with joy, peace, comfort, strength, etc. Such is the goodness of our God. He is Trustworthy. When we praise God, it helps us to humble and rely on Him to bring us out of struggles, to overcome. Praise changes our mindset from complaining to trusting God, reliance on GOD. Praise invites HIS Presence into our lives, situations. Praise refreshes and renews our spirit in HIM. Praise allows God to release His power and do miracles. (Acts 16:25-26)
 
We can trust in many things, but nothing can ever come close or even be compared to what God offers us in Him. So Praise Him
Our sufferings are temporary. But remember who we are in Christ, He loves us, He has called us His Children, He Blessed us. Let us praise the Lord forever. 
 
May the LORD fill us with His Holy Spirit and let we Praise Him all day long and all the days of our life as King David, whom God testified as “A man after my Own Heart”(1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22)
What will God Testify about you and me? 
 

God Bless.    

REMEMBER-TRUST-OBEY

Leave a reply
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
 
Greetings in the name of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.
 
Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” 
 
Bible says Trust the Lord! yet we have difficulty trusting the Lord at one point or another in our walk with Him, especially when we face trials, hardships, uncomfortable situations, etc. When things are going smooth it’s easy to trust God, but when life is not smooth what is our attitude towards GOD? When we are not in comfortable situations, Our natural instincts start brainstorming for ideas how to overcome the situations and we try to solve on our own instead of leaning on GOD and Trusting that he will help us overcome
 
In order to trust God, we must completely surrender our will, our plans, our desires, our future, and our comfort into God’s hands and that’s not easy  and only possible by the help of Holy Spirit
 
God gave clear instructions to Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil(Genesis 2:16). yet he ate it (Genesis 3:6), we see the result of SIN
For Noah God gave instruction to build an ark(Genesis 6:13-14), Noah trusted( Genesis 6:22) and they were saved.
 
REMEMBER-TRUST-OBEY
Remember-Gods word, His Faithfulness(Do not ignore, Remembering HIS Word is the first step)
Trust– Trust in Him and His Word
Obey– Obey Him
 
We can trust in many things, but nothing can ever come close or even be compared to what God offers us in Him.
 
Romans 8:28 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose.
Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. . .” (1 Chronicles 28:20)  
 

God Bless.  

“Personal Evangelism “ – “One Person with God is a Majority”

Leave a reply

Dear all,

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of Holy Spirit. Romans 15: 13

Word of God: 

And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. II Timothy 2: 2

Thought: “Personal Evangelism “ – “One Person with God is a Majority”

Personal evangelism plays a major role in making disciples for LORD Jesus Christ. The ministry is not something we get for ourselves and keep to ourselves. We are stewards of the spiritual treasure God has given us. It is our responsibility to guard the deposit and then invest in the lives of others. They, in turn, are to share the Word with the next generation of believers. – Adapted from Warren Wiersbe Bible commentary.

Have you ever considered how one generation carries the Gospel of Christ Jesus to the next generation? Have you ever wondered what would happen to the Gospel of Christ Jesus if one generation failed to pass it on?

Revival is an experience in the Church; Evangelism is an expression of the Church – Paul-S. Rees.
