A little Light and a Big difference...

Hi

Something to think about..

Don't ever think that a little light cannot make any difference because there is soo much of darkness around.

Remember even one candle can light up a dark room.

A little light sure can make a BIG difference...

So let your light shine and make a difference in someones life this day!

Let's God's Light shine on your face this day.

Psalm 4:6

Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?" Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD.

Isaiah 60:1

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you."

Reflect JESUS/YESHUA~~The Light of your life~~ so that others see JESUS and are drawn to HIM.

Matthew 5:16

In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

2 Corinthians 4:6

For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

God Bless You!

Christ was born!

🔔🎶One day in History my Savior and Lord Jesus Christ did come!🎶🔔

So I celebrate Him everyday!

✨He saved me and set me free!✨

🌟💕And His name shall be called

Wonderful,

Counsellor,

The Mighty God,

The everlasting Father,

The Prince of Peace

Isaiah 9:6💕🌟

The battle belongs to The Lord!

Just because God is silent doesn't mean He hasn't heard or seen.

"He will arise as at Mt.Perazim & be stirred as in the valley of Gibeon....to do His work, His Awesome work, and bring to pass His act, His unusual work!"Isaiah 28:21

We need to not #giveup but #holdon in faith to see God move!

At The Valley of Gibeon, God fought on Joshua's side (Joshua 10:1-14) & at Mt.Perazim, God fought on David's side (2 Samuel 5:20)

He is the same yesterday, today and forever and promises to fight our battles too.

He is a #PromiseKeeper and sure never lost a battle.

Turn my eyes away....

🌾As mobiles get smarter & TV has the 'world's best' entertainment in one's fingertips, the devil who is the "ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient (Ephesians 2:2", seems to have captivated the hearts, eyes of many to be fixed on all he dishes out to keep even the so called 'Children of God' hooked, addicted to games, serials & shows. 

🌾By doing so the little devil is happy he has turned the eyes & hearts of many that was once fixed on Yahweh and His Word!

One can now sit for hours playing games, watching shows on TV, back to back that at the end of the day is too tired to talk to God, read His Word. 

🌾Our walk with God and talking to Him and worshiping Him is not just a one day affair but sometimg we do daily.

How far we have turned away from God!

Sigh!

His heart sure breaks 😢

Who is our first love?

🌾Time to set back our life in order and redeem our time!

✿The Bible says in James 4:7, "Submit yourselves therefore to God Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” 

🌾Let's resist the devil and his works designed to take us away from God.The Devil let's go only when compelled. We are given the power to resist him.

Let's not be ignorant of Satan's plans.

✿ 2 Corinthians 2:11 lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

🌾Our one and only enemy the Devil, is on the prowl to steal, kill and destroy,

He has nothing good in mind...

🌾Let us be careful, watch what we watch and get back to our first love!

May God turn our eyes away from worthless things that take way so much of our precious time!

Be blessed...

We have a short time...

#fact "A man who sleeps 8 hrs a day and lives to be 75 yrs has actually spent 1/3rd of his life sleeping."

And other than this 8 hrs of sleep, how much time we waste doing, seeing and reading things that do not help us or edify us in anyway.

At the end of the day we finally have no time for quiet time with God, prayer and Bible reading or this is just a quick affair.

It's said "Time" and "Tide" waits for no man.

May God help us to use every moment wisely!

Another day ends....

Good night...

Julia

A Prayer for September

 

Cooler nights & crisper days, that's what Autumn brings. As Golden leaves crunch beneath our footsteps, Holy God, remind us that this is time for letting go. Help us drop our grudges, hurts and sorrows as the lordly maple drops it's flaming leaves. Bless us as we shed which is no longer needed. From "Guideposts" Blessed September! A

 

New Day....New Hope...

This is a new day and it comes loaded with hope!

I know that we all face challenges in life. They are real, often times difficult and tiresome. They can sap us of our strength when we let them consume us.

After a long walk in darkness, even a ray of light gives us hope.

Time and seasons do and will change!

Just need to hold on in faith!

Passing through a difficult season?

May our Lord give us grace to not give up but persevere and praise Him through our trials and lamentations?

It happens in the Psalms all the time.

It happened with Job, and with Paul!

Better things are yet to come!

Have a blessed weekend.

🎉 Isaiah 61:7 Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore, in their land they shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be theirs.

Our Heavenly abode...

Are we looking forward to our eternal home in heaven?

🌺 2 Corinthians 5:1" For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed; we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."

Our Blessed hope is, Jesus Christ our Lord will take us to this Heavenly abode He has prepared for us!

He is the way to this Home! (John 14:6)

So let not our hearts be troubled.

🌺 John 14:1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."

What a hope & assurance that gives!

MAGINIFY THE LORD!

MAGINIFY THE LORD!

Psalm 34:3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together.

Job 36:24 “Remember to magnify His work, Of which men have sung."

Psalm 69:30 "I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify Him with thanksgiving."

If God is the solid rock on which we stand and if He's our shield and defender, why fear the enemy's fiery darts? It will bounce back in Jesus Name!

If we stand on the Truth of God's Word, no lie or deception of the enemy can confuse us, the long tests and trials we go through will not make us weary. If we take our eyes off God in good times or bad and start doubting His Word, and magnify the mountains we face, the pain and illness, we will fail, we will fall, we will get fearful. But, the moment we take our eyes off the problems, off the storms and battles we face and start magnifying the Lord and put our trust completely in Him, He will take over and fight for us. But, the problem with us is, we fail to let God take over our cares and concerns completely! We forget our Lord Jesus Christ is our very present help in time of trouble.

Can we choose this day to Magnify out Lord over everything else?

Even as we magnify His Name, can we pray the Lord will display His Awesome power, miraculous healings in our midst and for a great move of God on earth this day?

We need to ask to receive. There are millions of souls out there that need to know the saving grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and see and feel the splendor and power of the Almighty God who created this universe.

1 Chronicles 29:11 "Yours, O Lord, is the greatness,

The power and the glory,

The victory and the majesty;

For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours;

Yours is the kingdom, O Lord,

And You are exalted as head over all."

Millions still need to know there is healing, spiritual, emotional and physical in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and that HE IS THE ONLY WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.

As we magnify out Lord He will display His Splendor in our midst.

Ezekiel 38:23 “And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”

Your heart may be breaking today. You may have spent the night weeping. You may be longing for someone to come sit and weep with you. You may be crying out to the Lord for help because you are in pain, in debt, feel lost and lonely ad feel you have reached the end. When your heart is breaking, cry out to the One who hears and binds up the brokenhearted. Magnify His Name over your pain, your loss, your brokenness, your illness and see Him display His splendor.

Have a blessed day,

Julia

It is not about Religion but all about relationship

🌾It's not about #religion but #relationship

From man's creation to his eternity in heaven, it is relationship & fellowship and love God wants!

🌾 His love for humanity is above all caste, creed, color, religion. Because He so...loved the world He came down, walked this earth, to redeem us back to Him.

🌾 We too are expected to have His love and compassion in our hearts to all in this world!

🌾 How will everyone know we are the disciple of Jesus Christ our Lord and savior?

🍃 John 13:35 "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

🌾 But so often we find it difficult to even love our own and see eye to eye with them and dream of spending and eternity with our loved ones!

May God's kingdom come in our hearts now!

God's Mighty hands

HE who holds the Universe, holds us in His hands and looks at us His children and says, "See, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands; your walls are ever before me." Isaiah 49:16 So, in midst our pain, loss, trials and all that we see happen around us in this world, it gives us a sense of security! And He keeps His Word. All His promises are "Yes and Amen" in Him! So...as we go to bed tonight, let us rest our head in the pillow of Gods promises, leaving our cares and worries in His mighty hands.

Good Night,

Julia

No excuse will help when we stand before God...

Our Parents,mentors, Pastors, teachers give us the best teachings, advice, instructions...

 We need to be taught to learn, we need to take all good advice we can, seek God's will, do what God impresses us to do and not what we feel is good for us. .

When we stand before God, it is just"Me and Him" or "you and Him".

💫No excuse "I was too busy", "My Parents said so" "I felt so" will work!

💫Have we done His will on earth will sure matter!

We do not know how long we live onthis earth! Our times in His hands.

Let us not waste our time in uselesspleasures.

 When we come to the final hour and stand face to face with God, we will regret for so many hours wasted in self-gratification.

How many hours we play games on the mobile, keep chatting with friend, just waste time sometimes doing nothing and do things that just robs precious moments from this one life we have.

God's Word warns us in Ephesians 5:4 "Nor should there be obscenity,foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving."

 So it's time to watch what comes out of our mouth. Are our words pleasing to God? Let's be careful not to speak carelessly.

Because we read in

Matthew 12:36 "But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgement for every careless word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted and by your words you will be condemned."

 But we hardly have time for God, to read His Word, pray, talk to our family and loved ones and fail to wipe the tear of the hurting, encourage the discouraged, feed the hungry, clothe the naked!

Let's run this race well and finish it well...

2 Timothy 4:7" I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the

faith"

Have a blessed Saturday!

Look up to the SON of God!

Let us look up to the SON of God!

If we place flowerpots near the window, we will find the flowers turning towards the sun. It seems they to prefer to look at the light than the darkness within the room.

Even as the flowers turn towards the sun, which is its source of energy, let us look towards the SON of Go, our Lord Jesus Christ for our source of joy and strength. Let the Glory of God reflect on us and through us.

☆2 Corinthians 4:6

For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ."

☆Isaiah 60:1 "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.

Jesus Christ our Lord was a 'down to earth' person for sure! He came “Down to Earth” on mission from the Father; a mission of love and obedience! He was the 'Almighty One' but walked with humility on earth. His messages were never complicated and often spoke in parables that even a child could understand. Children loved to be around Him. He was 'The Holy One' but never was 'self-righteous'. That is why He wants us to be Holy as He was Holy but never self-righteous. Our righteousness are like 'filthy rags'.(Isaiah 64:6)

☆1 Peter 1:15-16, "But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

We are to be imitators and followers of Christ! Only when we look up to Him, we can follow Him

Paul writes in ☆ Ephesians 5:1 "Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children."

Would it not be terrible if Our Lord Jesus Christ came back for His body and we did not look like Him? May we look up to Him, imitate and reflect Him. He is working on each of us to make us more like Him so that the day we see Him, we will be like Him. We read in 1 John 3:2, "Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is."

Our Lord is Holy, He will come back of a spotless, and blameless bride and God's faithful to complete the good work He started in us and perfects us so that the day we see Him we will be like Him.

☆1 Thessalonians 5:23 "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.

Let us look up to Him and be changed,

Be blessed,

Julia

Storms of life

In this life we do encounter storms, some storms pass by quickly, some fierce leave a wreck behind, some storms seem to keep raging on....

We look at our storms ie our problems, battles & think no one can be facing situations like ours & then you see someone in midst of a far severe storm that just rages on & think how we crib about little things!

💦 Lord forgive us for crying about our little aches & pain and help us to pray for those suffering greater pain and battling terminal illness.

💦 Lord forgive us for cribbing about a lost mobile or key when there are those like Job who have lost their loved ones, all their finances.

💦 Lord help us to look beyond our pain and see the pain of others..

Give us a compassionate and sensitive heart like Yours O Lord,,,

In Jesus Name,

Amen

It's June! Have a blessed month!

Hi..

Another month gone by & we stand at the threshold of a new month!

The last 5 months may have been really good for some, Praise God for that!

But...for some the struggles, battles continued and deliverance seems far of...

Some of us have been in the verge of giving up on our dreams and hope...

Some of us have spent hours in prayer and the enemy's onslaught seems to continue...

Some of us are too tired and weary, our hearts are sore...

BUT TODAY AS WE STAND FACING A NEW YEAR, LET US CHOOSE TO DECLARE:

"We shall not lose heart. We are confident that the One who reigns Supreme and sits upon the Throne (Jesus Christ our Lord) will eventually conquer and help us overcome.

We will press on until our deliverance comes from our Lord..

He is the Glory and the Lifter of our head!"

Let us call forth the things that are not...as though they were.

Let us proclaim the WORD OF GOD over and into our life and those around us and over every situation we face! THE TRUTH IN THE SCRIPTURE IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH! No enemy or demon can mess with that!

If our visions are clear and in alignment with God's Word, our virtues are right victory is certain.

As we walk through this month, may God help us to be the "salt" & light!

Have a super blessed month of June!
