WE ARE CHRIST'S FRAGRANCE...

The Bible says we are the aroma (fragrance) of Christ. Let's spread that fragrance around!

2 Corinthians 2:15, : For we are to God the aroma of Christ, among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

Be an over comer!


Hi...
Let's be over-comers..resisting every work of the enemy..
If we overcome we will inherit all things.
★Revelation 2:7 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.”’
★Revelation 2:11 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.
★Revelation 2:17 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.”’
★Revelation 2:26 "And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations— "
★Revelation 3:5 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels."
★Revelation 3:12 "He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name. "
★Revelation 3:21 "To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne."

Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean



God's Word says...

Psalm 51:7
Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Zechariah 13:9
This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’”
*
Revelation 3:18
I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.

1 Peter 1: 6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

Our God's looking for people who'll be on fire for Him and His Word and work here on earth!
He's looking out for people who will stand up boldly and speak up the truth of the gospel.
Carman writes in his book "Raising the Standard"
"..... we are blood-bought members of the most powerful army that ever walked the earth. We are filled with the same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead. We are to be champions."


Romans 8:11
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
☀Let's not fear times of trials and persecution which we will endure because we stand up to speak the truth!!


Revelation 7:13
Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?”


Revelation 7:14
And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
May His Word always be like fire in our mouths..

Awaiting a miracle?


Hi..family and friends...

Awaiting a Miracle?
We may have experienced and seen material, spiritual and physical miracles in the past and will keep seeing many.
Today are we in need of a material blessing like, buying a new home/land/car or awaiting a financial breakthrough (an unexpected business venture/a salary raise) or a promotion?
I just want to encourage myself and others by saying.."What seems impossible to us, is possible to our Lord."

Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Are we standing in a place facing an impossible situation?
What we need is out of our reach. But the Lord brings us to a point where we see no way of provision so that we can look up to Him, for He is the source of our help.

Psalm 121:  1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. 
So today if we are facing an impossible situation, can we look up to our Lord?
If He could send ravens to feed Elijah, wont He provide us with what we need?
The Bible say in...

Isaiah 45:3I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name."
Pray the Lord will give us such treasures and riches..

Ecclesiastes 2:26 To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God.
Let's hold on to HIS promises, claim it, confess it.
He is building our house too!
2 Samuel 7:  27 "O LORD Almighty, God of Israel, you have revealed this to your servant, saying, 'I will build a house for you.' So your servant has found courage to offer you this prayer. 28 O Sovereign LORD, you are God! Your words are trustworthy, and you have promised these good things to your servant."

He does what He says...!
Be Blessed,
Julia

In His time....


Hi ..
Feel no one notices what you do for the Lord?
It's God who should take note and so..
Cheer up..the Lord sure keeps a record of it!
IN HIS TIME HE WILL REWARD YOU!
May be you are just a doorkeeper in God's house but see what the Psalmist says...

Psalm 84:10 "I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness."Others may think you are not fit to be a leader, they may fail to consider your talents, delay your promotion but it does not really matter what someone else thinks of you, it's what God thinks of you that really matters!
Psalm 75:6 For exaltation comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south.7 But God is the Judge: He puts down one, And exalts another.
So we see promotion comes from the Lord.
IN HIS TIME HE WILL PROMOTE YOU!
One of the biggest danger is when we begin thinking too highly of ourselves. God lifts the humble and brings down the proud. 

"God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." (Galatians 6:14)
Here's something I read...
"At the Tower of Babel, the people said, "Now we're going to make a name for ourselves' Look how powerful we are! Look how great we are!!" Instead of giving God the glory and credit, they tried to draw attention to themselves, so God came down and scattered them and laid waste their tower.(Genesis 11: 1 to 9)"
Anything done or built to draw attention to oneself will fall. Let's do everything for our Lord's Glory.
Matthew 23:12 "For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."
Just keep faithfully serving the Lord in humility.
You may have been pushed down, rejected, but
IN HIS TIME HE WILL LIFT YOU UP!
Psalm 145:14 "The LORD upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down."
People may look down on you, judge you by the way you look, dress. But God sees the heart and He is the one who will judge you.
Revelation 2: 23, "... I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds."
So live to please the Lord and not men.
IN HIS TIME HE WILL REPAY YOU.
Ephesians 5:10 "...and find out what pleases the Lord."Don't feel discouraged when the enemy condemns you, live to seek God's approval.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.Be of Good Cheer...HIS TIME for You is coming.....

✿What happens when we take a bold stand?

Hi....
Greetings from India.
There is a moral and spiritual decline all around us. It's at a time like this we who are called the 'children of the Most High God' are to stand up to be seen, speak up to be heard and take an uncompromising stand.
This is what I learnt when reading Daniel chapter 3 .
Hope this blesses you.
When Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were asked to bow before an image of gold, ninety feet high and nine feet of King Nebuchadnezzar, they refused. When the King questioned them why they refused
to bow down they replied,



Daniel 3: 16"O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up."
The moment we take an uncompromising stand, God will surely move on our behalf.
With all the persecution we see and hear of against people who refuse to compromise and take a bold stand for what they believe in, some people wonder if God's watching all this and what He is doing. But God is still in control and He sure is setting up a stage for the greatest revival ever.
What happens when we take a bold stand??
 1) We are Noticed:
The people around notice us when we stand.
Daniel 3:12 "But there are some Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon—
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego—who pay no attention to you, O king.
They neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold you have set up."
2) The world gets irritated and hates us:
The World will surely react when we stand up for our Savior. The reaction may be positive or negative.
Daniel 3: 13 :Furious with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king,"
WE may be hated and despised for our stand. But this should not turn us back or force us to quit.
And we need to continue to love those who hate us and pray for those who persecute us. For vengeance is not ours.
3)They will question our commitment.
Daniel 3: 14 and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, "Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold I have set up?
When we are questioned we need to be able to give them clear and wise answers. We need to ask the Holy Spirit to put the right words in our mouths. He will come to our aid.
Mark 13: 11 "Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit."
4) The world will test our commitment:
Daniel 3:  19 "Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual 20 and commanded some of the strongest soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace."
Should times of testing turn us away? NO!

It is a time to make a personal commitment.
1) A commitment to serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, no matter what the cost. We may loose some friends, somethings close to us but the commitment is worth the cost.
2) God's pleased with our commitment. He moves on our behalf,
so that others take note of our commitment.
Daniel 3: 24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, "Weren't there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?"

      They replied, "Certainly, O king."
25 He said, "Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods."
3) Our commitment brings Glory to God.

4) Our commitment to stand up for our Lord Jesus Christ, it will result in many turning to the truth and acknowledging the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
Daniel 3: 28 "Then Nebuchadnezzar said, "Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king's command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God."
5) God will deal with those who persecute us in His own time because He is a righteous judge.
Daniel 3: 29 Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be cut into pieces and their houses be turned into piles of rubble, for no other god can save in this way."
Hebrews 10: 30 For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge his people." 31It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
6) Commitment to take a bold stand always ends with promotion
Daniel 3:30 "Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the province of Babylon."
Let's not be afraid or ashamed to stand up to be seen for who we believe in and speak up to be heard.
Stay blessed,
YSIC,
Julia

Look at yourself in the mirror!

Hi..
Yes.....
~~If you think Mona Lisa or some other film personality or a someone else is or was stunning...
You take a look at yourself in the mirror.
You'll see God's MASTERPIECE.
~~God created you and me in HIS Image and we are beautiful and precious in HIS sight.
Psalm 139:13" For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,I know that full well."
Just take a look around everything God's created is beautiful & artistic isn't is?
~~Seen the butterflies?
~~Just look at the flowers the beauty, color and inhale it's fragrance.
~~The birds of the air are so many and each so...unique.
~~And mountains display His Greatness!
~~And see the whales, dolphins and fishes of the ocean..
~~Seen the beauty of sunrise and sunset..? WOW!
~~The rainbow's beauty?
Does nature hide it's beauty?
They sing of His goodness.
Psalm 19:1"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands."
~~Ever looked at the mirror & thanked God (JESUS) for making you ..for each of us are fearfully and wonderfully made!
Genesis 1:27 "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."
~~God made you special.
~~You are an original, an individual, a masterpiece, one of a kind~
~~Designed to Glorify God as only as you can. 
Celebrate that!
~~If Jesus Christ is your Savior...
You are the child of the Most High God, hand picked by Jesus.
He said
John 15:16"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name."
~~So let's think good of us & be happy at the way God created us & let's not think or speak negative about us.
Remember God never makes junk!
~~We are HIS HANDIWORK!
~~The fact is God's done a marvelous job on you when He created you in your mother's womb (Psalm 139)
~~You are His Ambassadors on Earth, so walk with confidence because you represent the Kingdom of Heaven down here.
Abba thank You for creating each of us, so...unique in Your own image!

What if Jesus walked into your door today?


Something I read ..
( Posted by shoronne on her YouTube channel)
What if Jesus walked into your door today?
That's a pretty thought provoking question to ask someone. 
What would you be doing? 
Would you be in shock, and plagued with the guilty conscience of your actions? 
Or would you be steadfast in His Word, watching and waiting for Him to walk through your door? 
The next time Jesus comes will be the Rapture for the Bride of Christ. No man knoweth the day nor the hour, therefore we must always be ready.

Can these dry bones live?

Hi...

Resist the devil and he will flee



Hi..

Let's resist the devil and his works..
 The Devil let's go only when compelled. You are given the power to resist him.
So be strong in the Lord, wear your armor, wrestle, stand, withstand, resist and overcome!
We don't have to listen to the little devil and live in despair.
He is the father of all lies(John 8:44)
We don't have to listen to his accusations and live in defeat.
He is the 'accuser of the brethren.'( Rev 12:10)
We don't have to pay attention to his hateful voice and live in fear.
He has no love in him and all he knows is to steal, kill and destroy all that belongs to God.
2 Corinthians 2:11 lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.
Let's choose to listen to the voice of our Abba Father who loved us soo.. much that He sent His only Son our Lord and Savior to die in our place.
✿Our Lord walks with us and talks to us and His Spirit abides in us.
The devil labels us but our Lord anoints us!
 Let not the little devil's (he thinks he is a lion!) nor his hisses( he sure is a sly serpent) bother you.
Why fear when we have The Lion Of Judah walk with us?
We need to resist the devil and his works.
We cannot resist the devil if we do not submit to God first.
And we need to be fully armored.
( Read Ephesians 6: 10-20)
It's best to resist the little devils voice and not get in conversation with him as we have nothing to prove to him, he is not our judge, Jesus Christ our Lord is the one who has the right to judge us!
Let's also reject every power, principalities or instrument he would seek to use against us.
Let's reject infirmity, pain, infection, malignancies, addictions, and take total victory in the Almighty Name of Jesus Christ.
Let's know that through the sacrifice of our Savior Jesus on the cross, we have passed out from under the curse and entered into all the blessings of Abraham, health, prosperity, victory and God's favor.
Be Blessed..

He can make something...by: Roger and Debbie Jones


He Can Make Something
He can make something out of nothing
He’ll make something out of you
No matter where you’ve been
Or what the devil’s put you through
Just remember that the pearls
Are found in the deep, deep blue
He can make something out of nothing
He can make something out of you
The woman at the well
Many Times she fell
To sin and to shame
Well the Lord knew where she’d been
But he Was still her friend
He offered her help just the same
He’s not looking for a gem
He wants one made by him
So don’t worry about where you’ve been
Just bring your broken heart
And all the shattered parts
And he’ll put them together again
He can make something out of nothing
He’ll make something out of you
No matter where you’ve been
Or what the devil’s put you through
Just remember that the pearls
Are found in the deep, deep blue
He can make something out of nothing
He can make something out of you
He framed this old world
He gave It a whirl
With just his spoken word
If you think he needed help
He did it By himself
He created everything
Now if you think he’ll have trouble with you
Just wait till God gets through
He’ll make you a jewel
A precious Gem
One that is made by him.

He can make something out of nothing
He’ll make something out of you
No matter where you’ve been
Or what the devil’s put you through
Just remember that the pearls
Are found in the deep, deep blue
He can make something out of nothing
He can make something out of you
