Be alert, watch and pray

Hi..

Let's be alert, watch and pray..
 And..keep our lamps burning...
★ Micah 7:7
But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.
  ★ Matthew 24:42
"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
  ★ Matthew 26:41
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
  ★ Luke 21:8
He replied: "Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them.
★2 John 1:8
"Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully."
All we can do is PRAY!!
Let's pray,intercede,for God's looking for people who will stand in the gap and pray for the lost and for those who know the truth and still live in sin before God raises HIS arm in judgement.
 Yes God cannot be taken for granted for long.
If He rises to strike it's going to be hard.
 For the Bible says it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of a living God..
  ★ HEBREWS 10:26-31,
26If we deliberately keep on sinning after we
have received the knowledge of the truth, no
sacrifice for sins is left, 27but only a fearful
expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will
consume the enemies of God. 28Anyone who
rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on
the testimony of two or three witnesses.
29 How much more severely do you think
a man deserves to be punished who has trampled
the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an
unholy thing the blood of the covenant that
sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of
grace? 30For we know him who said, "It is mine to
avenge; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will
judge his people."
31 It is a dreadful thing to fall
into the hands of the living God."
Let's watch and pray..
Good Night

Discouraged?

Hi,
Are you discouraged? Is the cross too heavy?
 Are you feeling sad, rejected, lonely, depressed...?
Is the pain too much to bear...?
Is the fire (the trial) too....hot?
Is the water (your problems) too...deep...?
Has your friend let you down...?
Have no one to turn to?
Finding it hard to overcome?

 Look up to Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior. 
 Remember...Jesus is with you through it all...and complained not. He promises not to burden us more than we can bear and is ready to help us and give us rest. Matthew 11:28
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
No one understands you better than He does.
He can feel your pain because He has gone through it and so will heal you!
He knows how you feel broken & lonely at times for when on the cross all left Him so He knows what loneliness is,
He will never leave you or forsake you...
He is an overcomer so will help you over come.
He loves you....He will change the circumstances that surround you & set you free...
So...won't you praise Him right now...
Tell Him how much you love Him...
He needs to hear that...
Your desert will bloom again...

He will calm the storm...

Hi...
*¨*✿ When God promises something..He will do it! But sometimes our miracles are delayed.
Jesus promised His disciples they will go the other side and in spite of the storm and delay they did reach the other side!
*¨*✿But Jesus allowed them to strain and row through the storm that was against them. (48 Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them.)
*¨*✿ REMEMBER WHATEVER MAY COME AGAINST US, IF WE PRESS ON WE WILL PASS OUT VICTORIOUS!
Jesus saw His disciples struggle in the storm(Mark 6:45-52) and didn't rush to them but waited for the right moment.
*¨*✿ Why does God sometimes wait for the 11th hour, till all our money runs out, all doors are closed and pain lingers? Does He not care? O surely He does, when the disciples were in midst of the storm, He was praying and He does the same today! We need to just press on and keep moving. God will show up!
♥ Mark 6: 45 Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away. 46 And when He had sent them away, He departed to the mountain to pray. 47 Now when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone on the land. 48 Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea, and would have passed them by. 49 And when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed it was a ghost, and cried out; 50 for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and said to them, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.” 51 Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled. 52 For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened.
*¨*✿ Delays are not denial, life is not free of storms either but we have the blessed hope that our Lord's in control and He will show up and bring peace..:)
*¨*✿ Many times in our lives we find ourselves rowing in midst of a storm. We may have to pay bills and may have no money, we may be in pain and find no relief. But our attitude in midst of the storm matters. 
*¨*✿ Let's not delay our miracle by murmuring, complaining, harboring bitterness, unforgiveness, impure thoughts, grudge but let us keep the lamp of hope burning in midst of life's storms.
Our help will come from our God Himself, the maker of heaven and earth.
♥ Psalm 121: 1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.

God Bless,

Be careful to lead a blameless life..

Hi...
I was blessed to meditate on Psalm 101 today.
★Here we see David set down standards he wanted to follow. Because he was serious to keep up this standard, he did turn to God in sincere repentance(Psalm 51) when he sinned.
He desired to lead a blameless life.

•*¨*☀Psalm 101: 2 "I will be careful to lead a blameless life—when will you come to me? I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless heart."
★To do that he decided to :
1) Set no "vile" "worthless" things, before his eyes. 

•*¨*☀Psalm 101: 3 "I will not look with approval
on anything that is vile."
2) Hate what faithless people do and keep away from them, and keep away from evil. 

•*¨*☀Psalm 101: 3b "I hate what faithless people do;
I will have no part in it. 4.The perverse of heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with what is evil."
3) He did not tolerate the proud, those who slandered their neighbor, those who practiced deceit and liars.

•*¨*☀Psalm 101: 5 "Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret, I will put to silence. whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not tolerate."  

•*¨*☀Psalm 101: 7 "No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence. "
★It's high time we too stood up and raised our voice against injustice, corruption, false balance. For these are abomination to our Lord.
★What we tolerate we cannot change!
★David also chose as models and friends those who feared the Lord and were faithful, true and wanted to be ministered by the blameless. 

•*¨*☀Psalm 101: 6 "My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; the one whose walk is blameless will minister to me."
★Who are our role models and friends?
❤Abba Father..help us to walk blameless before you and purify us, make us acceptable in Your sight O Lord..
In Jesus Name,
Amen❤

•*¨*☀2 Corinthians 7:1, "Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God."
★Our Lord is requiring a higher level of commitment and holiness from us. He says in His Word, He's coming back for a spotless and blameless bride (that's us, His people!).
•*¨*☀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. 24The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it."
•*¨*☀Hebrews 12:14 "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: "
★He sure requires ★fearlessly bold, ★passionately holy, ★physically set-apart, ★upfront and bold people, to go out and raise the falling standards of Christianity!
Are we ready??
Good Night...

Watch and pray...

Abba Father..help us to pray, watch, wait, work and be ready.....always.... In Jesus Name Amen
♥ Proverbs 8:34 Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.
♥ Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
♥ Luke 21:36 Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man."

Judgement begins at God's Sanctuary...

Hi .. Greetings from India.... When our Lord Jesus Christ comes, the spirit, soul and body has to be kept blameless, so God's in the process of refining His Church and individuals. 1THESSALONIANS 5: 23May 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. 1 PETER 4 :17For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? This judgement is God's refining judgement... Removing the chaff from the wheat.. An act of discipline because He wants to present our spirit, soul and body blameless at His Son's coming. So let's not take God's discipline lightly. God sanctifying our SPIRIT, SOUL & BODY shows, God is concerned about our BODY too..That's why we need to break free of addictions that are "injurious to health" because THE BODY is the TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. God is an All consuming fire. Deuteronomy 4:24 For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. Abba Father is an all consuming fire and will not allow anything to stand in your way that is between you and HIM!! He can't tolerate sin in our lives our in our midst. Cleansing begins from God's Sanctuary.... Read this passage below carefully..... EZEKIEL 9: 3-7, 3 Now the glory of the God of Israel went up from above the cherubim, where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. Then the LORD called to the man clothed in linen who had the writing kit at his side 4 and said to him, "Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it." 5 As I listened, he said to the others, "Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity or compassion. 6 Slaughter old men, young men and maidens, women and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary." So they began with the elders who were in front of the temple. 7 Then he said to them, "Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain. Go!" So they went out and began killing throughout the city. Here we see the Glory of God went from the Cherub (singular for Cherubim) on which it had been to the threshold of the temple. Cherubims are angels always associated with the Glory of God. They are associated with with God's perfection and Holiness. God had placed Cherubims at the entrance of Eden to keep Adam and Eve out(Genesis 3:24) But God always remembers to protect His people during the refining process.. REVELATION 7:3 "Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God." So when God tells us to get rid of sin that so...ensnares our spirit, soul or body, we need to be willing to let go. If we resist HIS warning we will be disciplined as a Father disciplines his children... HEBREWS 12:5And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, 6because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son." He is a refiner's fire. Malachi 3:2 "......For he will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap." Discipline may not be pleasant, it may be painful, but it will bear good fruits. HEBREWS 12:11No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. But a person who has known the truth still chooses to deliberately live in sin has no hope. HEBREWS 10:26If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30For 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. Let's heed God's warning again in Hebrews 6: 4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, 6 if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. This is not a time to compromise and play with sin saying.."O well everyone are doing it..so what's the problem?" Let's be willing to let go of all that displeases God, accept His correction and be refined. 2 Corinthians 7:1, "Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God." Our Lord is requiring a higher level of commitment and holiness from us. He says in His Word, He's coming back for a spotless and blameless bride (that's us, His people!). " FOR HE CHOSE US IN HIM BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD TO BE HOLY & BLAMELESS IN HIS SIGHT" Ephesians 1:4 Be Blessed, Julia 2 Chronicles 29:5: “Listen to me, Levites! Consecrate yourselves now and consecrate the temple of the LORD, the God of your ancestors. Remove all defilement from the sanctuary.

Acts 1: 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

Do not Compromise

Lot 1st set his eyes on Sodom.
A PLACE OF COMPROMISE.
~Then he pitched his tent near it..
٠•●★Gen 13:12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom.

~After few days he was found living in Sodom.
٠•●★Gen 14:12 They also carried off Abram's nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom.

There he(Lot) compromised with sin, he was willing to give his daughters to be ravished by a mob of perverts. (Gen 19:8).
BEWARE OF COMPROMISE!!
