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.

  • Source: From the message "The zombie resistance" by Acquire the Fire.
    Resist Porn...otherwise it will get you!
    Bible says, "Flee youthful lusts" so we just need to "flee"
    2 Timothy 2:22
    "Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart."
    1) Cover one another back(be accountable)
    2) Never go our after dark
    3) Always be ready to fight .
    (resist temptation forcefully, read Proverbs 5)
    4)Watch what you consume(read, watch,listen), won
    5) Tell your partner your struggle so that he/she can pray for you.
    6) Limit contact when trapped
    7) Never go to your original contamination zone.
    8) Be with equipped people you can trust.
    Lord break all addictions and strongholds and set your people free!
    John 8:36
    Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

God enlightens our path!


`*✶God's Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.
 Psalm 119:105, "Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path."
 Isaiah 42:16, "I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, And crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, And not forsake them."
`*✶ Ezra's life was effective to move others forward was because he not only studied and taught God's Word but obeyed it and applied it in his life.
 Ezra 7: 10 For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the LORD, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel. 
`*✶Let's take out time to read HIS WORD every day. 
His word is like a map that helps us find our way through life,
It keeps our feet from stumbling.
 Psalm 56:13, "For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life."
Let us read more of His Word.

Wait on The Lord...


Sometimes it may be hard to wait to see God's promises come to pass.
Although we can’t see God's hand at work, we can trust His heart.
He is sure working on our behalf, laying out good plans for us, fighting our battles and preparing a place for us.
So we can rely on His promises and His provision, though we don't see things happen and cannot understand His plans.
Our Lord is 100% trust-worthy, reliable and is a Promise Keeper!
Our breakthrough is on the way...
All we have to do is wait!
Good Night!
Julia
 ( Psalm 27:14) " Wait for the Lord; Be strong, and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord."

There is power in prayer!


`Ephesians 6:18 "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people."
Hi....

 So many people pass by us daily, as we walk the streets, do our shopping and others we rub shoulders with when we travel by bus/train.
So many we walk past may be in a need of a miracle or just in the verge of giving up, or just hasn't ever heard about our Savior. The least we can do for these precious souls is whisper a prayer for him/her as led by the Holy Spirit.
 At least we can pray a blessing. We may not know his/her name, Jesus does and He moves on our behalf.
 The other day I was in the car, waiting for Leslie, it was raining and seen this couple with a small child trying to stop a rick but there were empty ricks that passed by but no one willing to take them. (You know how difficult it is to get a rick in Mumbai/Mira road etc)
Then I just whispered a prayer, and in the next few seconds a rick stopped by them and they were in. Praise God! 
Co-incident? 
I believe it was an answer to a simple prayer!
 We may not see all the answers to our prayers down here...
But...
One day in eternity we will know and the answers to these quick prayers.What a joy it will be to hear our Lord say,"He was saved, this one was healed and that one missed an accident because you prayed".
Keep praying.:)
Good Night

Gracious words...


Hi...
Read a quote yesterday at a friend's home,

“Harsh words do not break bones but break hearts."
Words do have the power to break or mend, wound or heal.
Abba Father may our words bring healing to the wounded, hope to the hopeless, bind the broken, help to lead the lost and wandering souls to you. Let our words be seasoned with salt. Forgive us for reckless words, In Jesus Name Amen
 
God's Word says in...
Proverbs 12:18 says "Reckless words pierce like a sword..!"
Ecclesiastes 10:12 "Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious,....."
Colossians 4:6 "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."
Proverbs 16:24 "Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones."
Psalm 19:14 "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer."
Abba Father.... forgive us for speaking carelessly
about others to make ourselves look better.
Help us to think before we speak.
Teach us to be loving and gracious with our words.
Give us Your "Unconditional Love" in our hearts...
Abba Father...
Help us not to form our opinion of people from what we hear from others, for it may not always be correct because they just may be repeating what they heard others say or it may just be their opinion. 
Help us to look at others the way You see them.
Help our conversation to be full of grace, seasoned with salt.
Abba Your wounded sheep needs Your Oil to be healed not our judgmental tongue which acts as a sword to slay Your Children! Help us to see What You want us to see not what the enemy is making us to see! Abba show us the wounds of Your wounded  sheep needs healing with Your Words of love not our words with the fire of the enemy! 
Abba..help us to STOP Judging START LOVING. Lord Help us tsee the Wounded Heart of Your Children before judging them! Your wounded sheep need YOUR LOVE to be healed and not our judging ways! Thank You Father....
In Jesus Name,
Amen.
Have a blessed day..

In due season God will use you...


*When you feel you’re not being used, do not be dismayed, For God in His time, will raise you up. You are like an arrow waiting in the quiver, ready to be used.
*Your time will come one day. He will lift you up, send you out to destroy the works of the enemy and win victories for Him and then honor you and reward you..!
*He has good plans for you.
Good Night!!
Julia
Isaiah 49:1 "The Servant of the LORD 1 Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations:Before I was born the LORD called me;from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name.2 He made my mouth like a sharpened sword,in the shadow of his hand he hid me;he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver.3 He said to me, “You are my servant,Israel, in whom I will display my splendor.”4 But I said, “I have labored in vain;I have spent my strength for nothing at all.Yet what is due me is in the LORD’s hand,and my reward is with my God.”

All that matters is...


All that matters is this...to be a part of this group of uncompromising people, whose eyes are set on the King of Kings and their final destination heaven where their treasures are!
Their reward too awaits them in this place!
Matthew 6:19-20“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."
Philippians 3:14 "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

May we.....


"May" the Lord meet each of us at the point of our need.
"May" we stand up to testify of His wonders!
"May" we find favor in His eyes.
"May" we see the impossible be made possible.
"May" we be candidates of uncommon testimonies.
"May" what we waited for a long time, be miraculously delivered to us in the name of Jesus.
"May" the anointing of God upon our life give us favour in the eyes of God and man all the days of our life.
"May" The Lord arise in any difficult situation that we may face and consume it with His Holy Ghost Fire,in the name of Jesus!
"May" each of us experience a miracle this day!
Exodus 16:7
"In the morning you will see the Glory of the Lord."
"May" we bask in His presence this day and Glorify God with our praise and worship.
"May" the Lord use us for His Glory this day and always.
Be blessed this day..

Casting it all at His feet!

Giving it ALL in His hands..
Laying it ALL at His feet...
Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."
Let not cares and worries of this life discourage us.

Rest on the pillow of God's promises....

Before we go to bed tonight let us look at up at the stars and thank the Maker of Heaven and earth. 
Night is the time stars are visible! 
Sometimes God leads us through the dark path only to show us His goodness and mercies...:)
So..let us rest our head in the pillow of Gods promises, leaving our cares and worries in His mighty hands.
Good Night..

Waiting to walk through those pearly gates..:)

Revelation 21:21
The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.

Abba Father..
Forgive me for the times I have been quick to hate, judge, assume, presume and have told others their worth.
Give me a heart like Yours to love unconditionally and watch my words and thoughts at all times.
May I be a Kingdom builder and may You increase and I decrease.
May I live to please You so that one day I can enter through the pearly gates of Heaven.
May I spend more time in Your presence and know You better every day!
All I have to give up on earth is nothing compared to what I'll inherit in Heaven.
Walking with You is more precious, beautiful and valuable than all the treasures and pleasures this world offers
In Your Son Jesus Christ's precious Name,
Amen

Something thought provoking I read...(see below)
Be blessed..
Julia

"We all have some kind of purpose on this earth, It's not to hurt people or tell them their worth. Everyone was put here with an equal chance, 
Take a look around you, take a good long glance. Some were meant to heal, and some to teach, Some are used to build, and some to reach. 
You may not know your purpose just yet, God will tell you, when he knows you are set. Don't rush your fate, it has already been planned. And God will always be there to lend a helping hand. You will go through times that are really rough, But you will always have someone, when the going gets tough. 
Don't judge others, for when you do, There is always someone else, judging you. 
Think about things before they are said, 
Say your prayers before going off to bed. 
Take time just to sit, and observe all things, A flower and it's petals, or a bird and it's wings. 
For when you just look at what is around, A new aspect on life could be what you have found. 
Live for today, live one day at a time. Live for God and serve others!"

Our Lord is coming back again!


Acts 1:11"This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven"
1 Thessalonians 4:16
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

What a blessed HOPE!!!!

Keep Hope alive...and work for the ultimate reward!
