Miracles Happen....

Someone said," Don’t worry,the fog will lift." 

That's true, so do not lose hope! The night will end, deserts will bloom.

Let us wait for our Miracle, it will happen soon!

 Isaiah 35:1 [The Future Glory of Zion ] "The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them,And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose."

Bitter medicines.

As little children when our mom gave us different bitter home made decoction though we didn't like its taste we drank it just because our mom said it was good for our health. We trusted that mom could only have the best in mind for us.

Today I can only thank God she did that coz it has truly had a positive effect on our health!

But when God takes us through a difficult path we cry, complain, fuss so....much. We forget He does what He does only because He has something good in mind. As we steer through tough situations, He builds up our spiritual muscles and equips us to meet the challenges of life!

If our parents always have our good in mind, how much more will God care for us.

Better to be in the center of His will than away!

Praise you my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

Be blessed!

Do it today

Let us not put off for tomorrow what we need to do today. A job not done, putting off visit to see an ailing loved one, a missed call from someone on the edge we did not call back, a prayer not whispered, a quote or application not sent out may cost us or someone a lot.

It may cost us a deal, a job, a miracle, a loved one or just anything important!

Opportunities sure always don't wait for us...

No wonder God's Word says..

Hebrews 3:15 “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.”

Hebrews 3:13 "But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,”

Someone said...

"Opportunities are like morning dew. To catch one, you have wake up early while the world is busy sleeping."

Let us not to miss any opportunity today to act, send, visit, bless, call, pray etc...if we miss it, it will dry up like the dew we see in the morning and soon gone!

Be blessed,

Julia

When we compare....

When we compare our pitiful, stressful, painful, natural, temporary circumstances and scars to what our Lord JESUS CHRIST endured to go to the Cross and on the Cross and His scars, there’s nothing to compare! 

He was crushed, wounded, shed His every drop of blood for us and never once complained!

Jesus Christ our Lord is the "Rose of Sharon" who was crushed for our sins!

It does not matter how deep our pain or hurt.. .

It does not matter who rejects, accuses or scoffs at us...

Let us keep our eyes fixed on the One who went through it all and so will understand it all....!

He is our Only Savior, Redeemer, Healer and He is the Glory and Lifter of our heads..

Time to take our ears off Satan's lies and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ our Lord and His Word, and walk in His ways....!

Song of Songs 2:1 "I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys."

 Isaiah 53:5 "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed."

 Galatians 6:14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 

Be Blessed,

Julia

✿Our next breath is not guaranteed......

✿Our next breath is not guaranteed and yet we sometime hold on to our earthly temporary treasures as if our whole eternity depended on that!

✿Sometimes God tells us to let go and move ahead to the better and bigger plans He has for us, but yet we choose to hold on to the old and end up not enjoying all the good God has for us.

✿A day lost is lost forever!

✿A breath wasted is wasted forever!

Lord help us to hold lightly to the things of this world and hold on to You firmly and walk in Your ways and will!

May Your

Lord help us not to strive and struggle but walk in freedom!

~Amen 

❀ 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."

Have a blessed day...

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..

May we hem our lives with prayer...

May we hem our lives and families and homes in 

prayer so that it doesn't fall apart..

Will we be like Him?

When Our Lord Jesus Christ came back for His body will we look like Him?

☆EPHESIANS 5:1, "Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children"

May the Holy Spirit help us to reflect Christ in all we do and say.

May Christ's all loving, never failing love govern our hearts and minds.

Our Lord is Holy and He will come back of a spotless and blameless bride and God's faithful to complete the good work He started in us and perfect 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.

☆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."

God's watching and working....

HI...

Going through difficult times?

Someone said,'Nothing happens without God's will, especially to His child whom He loves."

When we go through times of delays, closed doors, testings, pain, God is watching, refining and restoring our body, heart and minds, developing the fruit of the Spirit in us, disciplining our prayer lives and Bible study times, setting our priorities right.

He will perfect ALL that concerns us (Psalm 138:8)

In due season He will lift us up. 

Isaiah 30: 20 Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. 21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it."

God watches over His children.

Be blessed..

WHAT DOES JESUS SEE ?

WHAT DOES JESUS SEE ?

(A poem...)

When Jesus looks upon my life,

What picture does He see.

Does He see His own reflection,

Or does He just see me.

Does He see His likeness,

The product of His hand.

Or just another Christian,

Who never took a stand.

Does He see a child of God,

A child that He set free.

Living life to honor Him,

Or does He just see me.

What about the other folks,

I meet along the way.

Do I show them Jesus,

To brighten up their day.

When someone looks into my eyes,

Can they truly see.

That calm and gentle peace of God,

That dwells inside of me.

When I reach out and shake a hand,

Is He right there in my grip.

Can they feel that strength from God,

That steadies when I slip.

When folks are in my presence,

Do they know His Spirit's there.

Can they see that He's the One,

Who guides me everywhere.

When other people think of me,

What is on their mind.

Do they think of Jesus Christ,

So gentle and so kind.

I try to be like Jesus,

Every single day.

Spreading love and kindness,

All along my way.

I'm afraid that I have failed,

I could not pass the test.

Deep inside my heart I know,

I haven't done my best.

I have had to fight my flesh,

Since the day that I was born.

It's always causing trouble,

And being such a thorn.

That's why His Spirit dwells in me,

He's helping me to learn.

In every situation,

Where I need to turn.

He knew I'd never pass the test,

That's why He took my place.

He gave His life to save my soul,

He suffered my disgrace.

Now I try to be like Him,

I must present Him well.

So other folks will want His gift,

And turn their backs on hell.

Other folks should see the joy,

That Christ has given me.

They should want to have it too,

Especially since it's free.

They should begin to ask me,

What is it they must do.

Just how it is they go about,

Getting Jesus, too.

Then I get to tell them,

This wondrous gift is free.

It only takes a humble heart,

A prayer on bended knee.

Someday when I'm face to face,

With the Lord who set me free.

Will He see His own reflection,

Or will He just see me...

~Unknown~

Listening to God

The world is full of distractions and noise.

In midst of this we need to find time to sit at our Lord's feet and hear His voice!

His Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.

It's our daily bread.

His Word is powerful.

May His Word guide and lead us this day...

All Glory be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Be blessed

Soon the night will end...

We all go through some sort of pain or the other in life..

Physical, emotional etc

Someone said:"Pain sure is inevitable...

But....Misery is optional!"

So we may be in pain but we don't need to be miserable.....!

The joy of the Lord is our strength in times of pain too!

There is light at the end of the tunnel...

The night will end...

This too will pass...

God Bless you.

Julia

Electronic Gadgets...are a blessing but...

Praise God for all the electronic gadgets. These gadgets are a blessing to us and reduces work time, makes communication easier and quicker, helps us learn a lot and literally brings the world into our home and hands.Electronic gadgets help us save time so that we have more time to read God's Word, pray and serve Him and spend quality time with family,

Let us not allow these gadgets take over our mind, time, family and real friendships.

This can be dangerous...

It's sad but true sometimes we are looking at our mobile or i-pads more than we look at God or our  loved ones..:(

It's sad we can talk to on-line friends for hours but find it hard to take our eyes off the gadget to look at God or real people around. So often we miss what God and people say to us because our mind is on what we do on the gadget!

It's sad we spend so much time surfing the net, watching TV and playing games that our prayer times, bible readings and family conversations are a quick affair...

Help us to set priorities right O Lord....!!

Have we ever wondered what the Television,internet, games on computers, mobiles, i-pads robbed from us? 

Has it robbed our time, quiet time with God, family devotion, good reading, art of writing using paper and pen, Church attendance, visiting friends, entertaining friends at home, family time together, just laughing and talking? 

Wholesome conversation, real friendships and relationships, playing with kids and reading them stories?

God gave us these gadgets to ease our work so that we have more time for Him and His word!

But addiction to a gadget like television, mobile, i-pad, laptops and allowing it to take too much of our precious time that we do not have time for God, family or people around us can be dangerous!

Yesterday is gone...

Tomorrow may never be ours..

Today..in fact this moment is all we have right now,

Let us give our best to God, our loved one, our job for the day we stand before God we will have to give an account to our creator, even for the time He gave us and how we used it.

Psalm 90:12 Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Let's serve our Lord with gladness and enjoy our time with Him and family.

Have a blessed day,

Julia 

Many are headed towards...

❤Matthew 7:13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it." Greetings..... HELL IS REAL...AND MANY HEADED THERE!  But does this really bother us?  We have just this one life and how many years have gone by..... ~~How many souls more to be lead to our Lord and Savior JESUS Christ? ~~How many  still are unaware of the One who said that He is the Only Way, Truth and Life? ❤ John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. ~~Let's keep doing something for our Savior JESUS CHRIST and for the people in our life, to those around us, for those in the BODY OF CHRIST and more for those who still don't know JESUS!!! ~~We need God's help and guidance to do this. ~~Pray the Lord will use each of us for HIS glory in the coming days.... Many on the wide road that leads to hell! They are dying right and left. LORD HAVE MERCY!........ LET US PRAY FOR LOST SOULS!! "USE US LORD" YSIC Julia DON'T LET THIS world suck you away. The darkness is rising.  ARISE AND SHINE YOU LOVERS, you laid down lovers... COME BACK TO YOUR 1ST LOVE...JESUS. Come into your identity as a child of the King.  Don't let the world intimated you "YOU ARE ROYALTY" start living like it. IF GOD IS FOR US WHO CAN BE AGAINST US. This world isn't real. its a fake reality. ONE Day righteousness will shine... RISE UP and TAKE AN UNCOMPROMISING STAND FOR JESUS!! Reach out to the lost and help the hurting. life is short. PRAY AT ALL TIMES FOR ALL THINGS!

LISTEN and SILENT

 Be still, and in the quiet moments, listen to the voice of your Heavenly Father.  His words can renew your spirit.  No one knows you and your needs like He does.  -Janet L. Weaver
 My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.  Psalm 62:5 (NKJV)
Hi..
LISTEN and SILENT are two words with the same alphabets and are very important for any vital relationship.
In the stillness we can hear our Lord's voice when we enjoy the right relationship with Him.
Be still and silent and listen to HIS voice this day......
 PSALM 46:10,"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
May God's Word always be a lamp to our feet and a light to our path!
JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR LOVES YOU..!
Good Night
Julia
 "If you, too, will learn to wait upon God, to get alone with Him, and remain silent so that you can hear His voice when He is ready to speak to you, what a difference it will make in your life! " -Kay Arthur
 The world is full of noise.  Might we not set ourselves to learn silence, stillness, solitude?  -Elisabeth Elliot

 In quietness and trust is your strength.  Isaiah 30:15 (NASB)

God's grace and mercy...(Thought)

"GRACE is getting what you don't deserve..."

(God's forgiveness, Blessings etc)

"MERCY is not getting what you deserve..."

(God's wrath)

~Borrowed thought~

Keep sailing through life....

Where God guides, He always provides.

As we sail through this life

Let us not

Avoid storms & rough waters....

Let us just keep sailing...

Just let it pass,

Always remember..

Someone said....

"Calm seas never make skillful sailors."

Which door will you choose?

Hi family and friends...
It's time to make this choice if there is anyone who reads this, has not made this choice as yet.
IN LIFE WE HAVE MANY CHOICES, BUT ETERNITY HAS ONLY TWO.
HEAVEN OR HELL...
Matthew 25:46 "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
WHICH ONE DO YOU CHOSE?

IN THIS WORLD THERE ARE MANY PATHS, BUT THERE ARE JUST 2 PATHS THAT LEAD TO ETERNITY.
NARROW OR BROAD...
Matthew 7: 13 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
WHICH ONE WILL YOU CHOSE?
There is just ONE WAY that leads to heaven.

John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

If you have not made this choice, do it today.

Jesus Christ our Lord waits with outstretched arms to hold you and make you His own.
He is the one who will give rest to a burdened soul.
Jesus said..
Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Tomorrow may never be yours.
Choose Eternal life.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 5:24 "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.
John 17:3 Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
Escape eternal condemnation and the place of torment by choosing Jesus Christ.
Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Luke 16:23 In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.Let's beware...
Jude 1:4 For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality anddeny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
God bless you..
Julia 

It's no waste...

Sharing with you a thought that blessed me...

~~Talking to God wastes no breath!

~~Walking with God wastes no strength!

~~Waiting on God wastes no time!

Therefore.....

Let's talk to God, walk with HIM & wait on God always!!!!!

To Jesus/Yeshua be all Glory and Honor...

Be blessed,

Julia

11 months down...18 days to go....

Hi..

Greetings...

Eleven months down and just 18 days more and the curtain falls to end 2013.

The door will shut to 2013 and a new door will open to step into 2014.

Some questions we can ask ourselves~

What have we done for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ this year?

His commission to us was,

Mark 16:15

He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.

He also said in

Matthew 24:14

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

How many lives have we touched and made a difference to?

Have we shared the gospel to those who have not heard about the saving grace of our Lord, this year?

How much have we grown spiritually?

Has our relationship with Jesus Christ our Saviour grown stronger? Do we know Him better than last year?

How much of our time,forgiveness, love, joy, laughter, money, material things, prayer and other good things have we sown in the Kingdom and the lives of others? (For we reap what we sow!)

His greatest commandment was,

Matthew 22:36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37 Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

How many of our new year resolutions have we fulfilled?

I think it's good we took a stock of our life today.

Then we can step into new year with a new vision and get ready to do all that we can for our Lord Jesus Christ, His Kingdom, our family, friends and for those who still need to hear the Word of God! 

So in the next few days let's.....

 At least share the GOOD NEWS to one person who does not know Jesus. How will they know if we don't tell them?

 Sow our time, love, prayer for the Kingdom's extension and in the lives of people who are dear to us, for the lost and for the Nations!

 Get closer to God by spending more time reading HIS WORD, meditating on it, in prayer and listening to HIS voice.

 Take time off everything to sit at HIS feet and receive strength and anointing to step into a new year. A 3 days of fasting (partial or total) and prayer is a good idea!

 Let's let go of things  of the world that hold on to us and slow us down in our spiritual walk.

 Let's visit the people we promised we would but never made it.

 Let's forgive the people who hurt us and forget all that upset us. Let's try to get right with anybody we have problem relating too, even if that person doesn't want to forgive and forget, let's just release all ill feelings and love them, if they still hold bitterness against us let's not worry about it but walk in freedom.

Luke 6:28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

 Let's try to complete a part of our pending  new year resolutions (If we had made any!!) the rest we can carry it on to the next years list (if we want to!!).

 Let's give quality time to do the Lord's work, for family and friends.

 If the Lord had been urging us to do something and we've been putting it off..LET'S DO IT NOW!

The time to stand up for our Lord and Savior JESUS/ YESHUA is NOW.

We have just a short opportunity to witness for CHRIST and live for HIM.

If ever you ought to read the BIBLE, meditate on HIS word, FAST, pray and win souls....it has to be NOW!!

Come on...let's get going!

Let's be obedient to HIS Voice if we hear it! 

Hebrews 3:15As has just been said: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion."

Heb:3: 7-8: 'So, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion,  during the time of testing in the desert."

Let's ask God to break us, remake us and use us for His Glory 

Be Blessed

Julia
