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.

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.

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

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!

My Faith Hope and Trust in in you O Lord..


"God's love for us is not a love that always exempts us from trials, but rather, a love that always sees us through trials."
Lord help us to be content and at peace in every situation of life. We do face trials, testings, persecution but sure not like what Apostle Paul faced and yet he wrote,
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength."
(Philippians 4:12,13)
What ever we go through in this life let us never lose our faith, hope and trust in the One who gave His life to save us! If we are His children and keep walking His way, all things will work together for our good in the end!
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
" But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more."(Psalm 71:14)
God bless,
Julia

My Faith, Hope and Trust in You alone
***********************************************
(Author Unknown)

For every mile I've walked,
When I felt I couldn't stand.
For every time I fell,
And You reached out Your hand.

For every time I felt,
I couldn't face another day.
Until I fell down on my knees,
To seek Your face and pray.

For all the days and nights,
That I have cried out in distress.
For bearing all my burdens,
When my soul could find no rest.

I thank You for reminding me,
That in this life we live...
We're guided by Your unseen hands,
If our lives to You we give.

For each and every time,
That I have ever felt alone.
You showed me You were there with me,
Though not with flesh and bone.

But in a way so mighty,
That the darkness even fears.
You light my way through sadness,
As You bottle up my tears.

No tear is ever wasted,
For through them my eyes can see.
Far beyond this mortal life,
To the gates of eternity.

So when I feel compelled,
To sit and drown in sorrow...
Remind me once again Dear Lord JESUS,
You've made a new tomorrow !

Unable to sleep at night?

Unable to sleep at night?
Restless?
Burdened?
Counting sheep doesn't help?
Then the best thing we can do is, pray!
We can start praying for people,nations, situations God brings to our mind.
Let us be available to pray at all times for all things and not ignore the nudging of the Holy Spirit.
🌷There sure is a thin line between giving up and going on, that thin line can be a whisper of prayer by someone for someone on the verge of giving up.
🌷Let's pray for that someone God lays in our hearts tonight.
🌷May be the person on our mind is in the midst of a storm or warfare or in pain or the nation that comes to our mind is in turmoil.
Let us pray till we feel peace within.

He will never leave or forsake us...

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

Jesus Christ our Lord promised to never leave or forsake and He keeps His Word to His own. There are times our heart may be heavy, we may feel weak to move on but then you will hear that voice within say "Have faith and I'll carry you again". 
When the going gets tough, let us call out to Him, He will come and give us hope and strength to move on!

Good Night!
