Ashes-Expereince(1)

God was pleased to give my family a maruti 800 car….and nowadays am using it.My dad asked me to ckeck with the Maruti workshop on whether we need to change the oil and when inspected we found the oil has turned black,and it was starting to solidify.!!This could have done the car a lot of damage if it was not changed..

The guys at the workshop changed the oil and washed the car so well that all dirts which was not removed by the “garden hose” in my house was removed by the professional equipments in the service center.Guys out there know better than me,but the point that I pondered was there should be a thorough inspection of our lives not by us..but by the Master who created us.He knows what to change,how to change and He got the required “equipments” that can make us ready to “run” in the world.Only if We pause in front of Him and hand over our life to Him..and ask Him to have His way..we would be very useful!!He will “renew” a “right Spirit” within us and wash us with HIS BLOOD and cleanse our impurities and dark spots…….!!!

Psalm 139:23-24 Search me, o God ,and know my heart:Try me and know my anxieties;And see if there is any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting

The other day My pastor was here in Trivandrum to visit a patient in the Hospital.It was getting late and I had to drop him in the bus stand for him to board a bus at 8:10 P.M…Time passed by and by God’s grace I dropped him in the bus station at 8.We waited and waited the bus didn’t come.The officials in the bus station said that “THE BUS WILL COME”..though the scheduled time was over.A guy comes running at 9 and asked us “has the bus gone”..We said “NO”..He breathed a sigh of relief and at last the bus turned up five minutes later.The bus was early for the “late entry” but was “late” for early comers like us.

Jesus Christ is coming soon,He wants and waits for latecomers..for them He will be “early”..for us a bit “late”…………….So hold on……

2Peter3.9:The Lord is not slack concerning His promise,as some count slackness,but is longsuffering toward us,not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

capsule-Psalm 103;10

Psalm 103:10

he does not treat us as our sins deserve

or repay us according to our iniquities





Thought1:God’s character is not based on our nature



Here we see an unchanging God who does not treat us as our sins deserve…just imagine,how true is this!!The mankind is filled with evil and sin but also see that God is still letting the earth to “spin in its axis”.The sun is rising and setting…rains come and go..technological advancements.All these are God’s gifts that keep on coming to man.Even seeing ourselves,are we really worthy of all the blessings we enjoy??Our private sins,nagging thoughts,murmuring,grumbling,complaining…YES He does not treat us as our sins deserve,He is also not repaying us according to our iniquities…What an unchanging God we have whose character is not based on our “Sinful” nature.



Thought2:Our nature should change according to His character



The psalmist as he is thinking doesn’t want to remain in this realm,he wants to tread on new heights.as we keep reading the psalm we can get that.Child of God,we have sins we have our iniquities.But also remember that we need to renew our selves daily,as the sun rises we need to get new mercies of Him,ur heart and mind whould be renewed,our thoughts,acts,deeds should get confirmed to Him.Lets walk in the Spirit.

He is a loving God and He doesn’t deserve the “sin” treatment we give Him…lets come with a broken heart,contrite Spirit..to the cross and ask Him for His mercy…



Introspection

1)What are those personal sins in your life that must have grieved Him???



2)Are you willing to let go of these and come closer to HIM???





Application



1)Fight against those sins and iniquities which the Spirit is reminding you of….through prayer ,place it before the cross and ask Jesus to cleanse you with His precious Holy Blood and fill you again with His power



2)Sing those songs which you get reminded of …….songs like “create in me a clean heart”,”change my heart o God”..meaning every word you sing

mountains-capsule

Psalm 97:5

The Mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD,at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Great to hear that you guys are immensely blessed thru these “capsules”..that increases faith and refocuses our life!!

This day I would like to share from the verse shown above……

Thought 1:The Mountains Melt when His Presence is felt

Mountains usually in biblical perspective refers to problems…Thus Jesus said “If by faith you ask this mountain to be cast into the sea it will be done as that”..here the psalmist goes one more step ahead..Mountains??it is nothing when compared to the presence of God..!!We also have several “mountains” in front of us,we just cannot climb those and at those times its necessary to view these”mountains” melt when exposed to the presence of the almighty God!!!yes His presence when experienced in our homes,bodies and families..the “mountains” melt!!And you feel refreshed..the same was experienced by that lady who had a dreadly disease for 12 years

Thought 2:The verse also says that at the Presence of the Lord of the whole earth,the mountains melt!!

The earth belongs to God..Mountains are a part of the “EARTH”…in other words,yes problems and sufferings are a part of our life..they are there..But God is GOD of that too,The LORD of our life which includes problems,sufferings……hallelujah..The Lord of all the earth is the Lord of the mountains too

He is the God of your moods,your emotions,your hurts,your worries..your good times,your bad times..your shallow waters,your dark valleys..

He is GOD..YOUR OWN LORD AND GOD!!!THE GOD AND LORD OF YOUR LIFE!!!

Introspection

----------------------

1)What sort of mountains have you got in your life now??

2)Do you see that as an opportunity to experience God more or you use it as a way to give the devil a foothold??



Application

---------------

1)When is the last time you felt His presence so close??Set apart some time to experience His presence EVERYDAY!!and see your mountains melting before the LORD YOUR GOD

2)If the mountains melt,lets chose to be broken always in His presence!!



Maranatha!!

Ashes Capsule-Tears God's divine steps to walk to you

Ps 61.2:From the end of the earth I will cry to you,when my heart is overwhelmed;lead me to the rock that is Higher than I

Thought 1:Crying to God eases your heart…many a time we get overwhelmed in our heart..We feel a great weight in our heart because of tensions,anxieties and worries..YOUR TEARS ARE A GOD_GIVEN MECHANISM TO EASE YOUR HEART!!when the worries and tensions accumulate in your heart..God who created us didn’t allow His creation to accumulate these..He devised the tear glands to secrete..Hallelujah..And remember He values your Tear drops rather than multitude of words……..!!The Psalmist uunderstood this great truth and said”LORD FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH..in short…..when am lonely..sourrounded by none..WHEN MY HEART GETS OVERWHELMED…I WILL CRY TO YOU(my tear glands and you will store it in your bottle)!!!

Thought 2:When circumstances like this come.We tend to go down..feel so down that we just like being secluded..we just like being not used by anyone..we love to be in the worldly plains causing harm to none,loved by the devil(as you are posing no threat to him)…than being in a higher heavenly realm..Thus Psalmist is telling..I don’t want to go down when my heart is overwhelmed but I want to experience that heights where you would lead me.The psalmist knew that he cant make it on his own,thus he cries for heavenly guidance……lead me to the rock that is higher than I…remember your tear drops are the steps that the maker devised for Him to guide your life

WHEN OVERWHELMED IN YOUR HEART…CRY TO GOD…REMEMBER IT’S THE ROAD TO THE ROCK HIGHER THAN YOU……You can have a grip on it…..its clefts are so secure that you can hide in those……and its unshakeable in shaking times and situations…….A rock higher than yours!!!!!

Introspection:
1)Have you experienced this “overwhelming” of heart??
2)What is your response to those situations?????
3)Have you ever realized that your tears matter to GOD..??In your time of prayer do you take much time in “ordering God” or “crying to HIM”???
4)When is the last time you cried to HIM??

Application

1)Do not restrict your tear glands….God values that most than the multitude of Junk words we use in our prayer

2)Check out Hebrews 5:7 and follow the pattern of Christ in your prayers

Heart-->Head-->Harp

The Anointing of David
1 Samuel 16
Let me share with you some thoughts………………

GOD HAS ALTERNATE OPTIONS


Samuel was disappointed about how the first King of Israel fared.He was so sad.That was the time when God asked Samuel to go to the household of Jesse.The new King was to be anointed there….Let me tell you an important truth..God has appointed us with gifts ,talents and resources.But how do we fare??What to do we do with those??Is God happy with us??
This portion clearly tells that GOD HAS ALTERNATE OPTIONS!!

Jesus said”I tell you that if these should keep silent,the stones will immediately cry out”(mark 19.40) Esther was warned by mordecai”if you remain silent at this time,God will deliver His people from another source,but you and your household will perish”…..Remember GOD HAS ALTERNATE OPTIONS IF YOU FAIL HIM..so take your talents and gifts seriously.Trade it………..MAY GOD USE YOU in the Plan He has for you

FROM THE HEART--- TO THE HEAD-----TO THE HARP

In this portion we read that God anoints a person based on the “inner condition”..
6 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, "Surely the LORD's anointed stands here before the LORD."
7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
The anointing fell on DAVID not because of any other reason,just because He guarded His heart..do you feel dry,do you think that God is impressed by your external…please check up……..do not fool yourself..Guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flows issues of Life…

SO the process that started from David’s heart moved to David’s head when Samuel poured that oil from the horn!!Notice this is the same way God anoints a person..From heavens He sends His Spirit and pours it on the HEAD…O Child of God..is the anointing resting on your head..???I sincerely pray that God will release a mighty outpour on His Spirit on your head seeing your heart!!!

13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power. Samuel then went to Ramah.

The anointing then was reflected in the HARP of David……….many singers were there..but noone was effective when that evil Spirit came on to Saul.Child of God…..David,Joseph,Daniel,Esther,Ruth all were used by God ……….in a tremendous manner………The Lord blessed their skills to deliver KINGS AND KINGDOMS………….

I sincerely pray that The HEART you have and the Head we possess and the Harps we use will reflect the anointing of the almighty…….You got the power……..Claim your flame now in the name of Jesus!!!!!

Please pray with me

Precious Lord,Thanks you for new insights of thy word.I Thank thee for thy children who took time to read thy Holy Word..See our hearts..help us to maintain it pure..use us Lord….let the anointing rest on our heads…hallelujah..so that it will flow to the harps we use……..so that it will deliver individuals,families,Kings and Kingdoms………
We honor thee and bow down before thee.Thank you for being a prayer answering God..I pray specially for those who feel dejected depressed in their life..Let them understand that it’s the time for a deeper anointing….a deeper cleansing ..a deeper
Walk with the precious Lord..many are suffering from evil thoughts in their heads..they feel disturbed and pained in their head…right now father as thy servant I pray for deliverance and outpour of thy sweet spirit onto their heads and all their thought cells……….Be free in Jesus name..our heads should be the place of anointing!!!!!!!!!!where it rests rather than being stronghold of ego,jealousy and pride and harmful thought put in by the evil devil..amen Blessed be thy name!!
We love thee and give thee all praise..for we know our prayers are answered when we ask in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ our Lord!!

Amen and amen

The Power of His blood!!!!!

usually ask God to speak to me on how to move about in a new month…………..forgetting the past failures…..overcoming the Present sins and worries that easily gets “entangled” to us..to have new vigor and commitment in serving Him and each month reminds us that HIS COMING IS GETTING NEARER..AND TIMES WONT BE JUST THE SAME AGAIN…God spoke to me on a simple thought but I was in praises………



Moses had a rod that fell on Mount Horeb that God used to display His immense power….this same rod was used by Moses in front of Pharoah and the evil magicians,After a meanwhile Moses “forgot” about that rod of power,as we usually do.When we face new challenges we forget that God is still the same..and He has given us a rod….God asked Moses to stretch forth the rod and “DIVIDE THE SEA”……O precious child of God,the same God who expressed Himself in Christ asked the disciples as they confronted a storm..”where is your faith”………….where is it..where are its works……The starting days of this month God asks you..”where is your faith”……..Moses’s rod signifies the unshakeable faith we need to have..that we need to use to DIVIDE our problems!!!!Yes a common rod in Moses hand describes the Faith we need to have



Coming to the predecessor of Moses,Joseph was known for His garment..His father jacob had made a “beautiful” garment that made his brothers envious of Him..The garment of Joseph was the attacking point of Pothipher’s wife……….Child of God…..the gament of Joseph signifies the holy life we need to live..WITHOUT SANCTIFICATION NO ONE SHALL SEE GOD……….the song writer asks”are your garments spotless??are they white as snow??”

Is your life exposing the evil selfish nature of the world or is it a consecrated one set apart by the standard of God’s Holy word…Return to Holiness..return to the truth you once believed..let not the evil one touch your garment and spoil your life….Yes I can sense some people reading this are guilty about your life and acts…Return to the Lord…a garment in Joseph’s life signifies the sanctity we need to have



Samson the strong man had something common that enabled Him to do exploits….The hair of Samson essentially signifies the Powerful life we need to have…Samson was not sluggish.he was a man who was known for His power..but later He became powerless..his eyes were destroyed by the devil as He laid his head on the lap of Delilah..Please dear one..dont play with the world…………..O No..please don’t..you will never know when the Spirit goes from you and you soon become one as the world..You are to fly..on wings..rather than to lay and play with the world……….!!!!!!!!!The hair of Samson needlessly points us the importance of DUNAMIS POWER in our life strong to bring down strongholds of the devil……



Elijah had the “cloak” of authority………that later fell on Elisha…….and Elisha had to face the roaring Jordan in the very starting moments of his ministry,,,,,,Christ said “All authority is given unto me.therefore GO………..ye unto all nations”..Go based on the authority you have in CHRIST……….The witnessing life was pointed to us by the cloak of Elijah…………Elisha struck the river Jordan crying ”Where is the God of Elijah??”….When faced with confusions,turmoils……walk with Authority and testify the Lord to others..If we don’t tell about His love…………..its woe unto us……..Child of God..tell about His love..walk in your offices,into broken homes with His peace and authority!!



We as New testament church do not have literally the rod of moses or the garment of Joseph,neither do we literally have the Hair of Samson or the cloak of Elijah..BUT GOD HAS MADE A PROVISION FOR YOU……….Yes He has given that to you…….its nothing else but HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD…hallelujah….as you trust in His blood..you will be possesors of uncommon faith…..uncompromising on the standard of Holiness…recipients of uncommon dunamis power..through His blood and also the our lives will be dedicated for Him by doing our very best in our testifying Life……..trusting in the authority of the blood of the lamb..Forgive me I cant write much more than this !!I rely completely on the blessed Holy Ghost..If I could come and shake you from your seats .i would have done that..but I rely comepletely on The Holy Ghost!!!!!



LIVE EVERY HOUR by His POWER!!!!!!!!!THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB!!!!CLAIM YOUR FLAME NOW…THERE IS VICTORY IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB!!!Halleujah……..Praise the Lord



Father I place my dear brother/sister who took time to meditate with me thy Holy Word,As thy child I pray that he/she will LIVE and not DIE………Will be Full and not dry….by the power of thy precious blood ..In thy precious name I resist all powers of darkness bring physical weaknesses when they sit to pray that causes them to worry over the challenges in their lives………Set thy children free…..Let them praise thy Holy Name……….O GOD let them live this month and henceforth by the faith,holiness,authority,strength everything by the power of thy Blood..Lord we together Lift thy Holy name………….Be with our families,friends..our workplaces…..our testimonial life.SHAKE US O LORD……..Set our hearts on fire………….!!!!!!!We worship the lamb who was slain and by whose blood purchased us for thee…..

Place thy nail pierced hands and bless them……….We take Victory over everything n the name of Jesus trusting in thy Holy Blood……..We dedicate our lives for thy Glory!!!!



We love thee and pray this prayer in the name of thy son and our savior Jesus Christ!!

Amen!!!!!



Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There's power in the blood, power in the blood;
Would you over evil a victory win?
There's wonderful power in the blood.

There is power, power, wonder working power
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb.
