Relationships(3)-Foundation

-----------------------------------------------------
FOundation of a relationship
------------------------------------
RElationships......
.wow trust we have learn together various aspects regarding this..Let me come to an important
point..
TRust this discourse will bless all of us..

THE FOUNDATION OF ANY RELATIOSHIP IS LOVE
--------------------------------------------
Many of us start relationships based on FEELINGS or EMOTIONs.Sudden feeling..

When feelings or emotions become the foundation of our relationships..IT WONT LAST;-)

RELATIONSHIPS BASED ON LOVE WILL LAST-----------------!@$

The Bible is a book of the best love story!!
Man sinned..He said in His actions he didnt want God..BUT GOD loved the world You and me While we were unlovable..

Thats love...When everything is good and lovely..we say we "love" a person(Attractivity) ..Thats not love..thats emotion..
Do we get attracted to a person who is ugly...wanted by no one...??i see many eyebrows raised;-)
When we think of them …when we do something even for them.THATS LOVE...The highest form f love..
Thats what heavens did..Christ loved us and gave His life..while we were ugly..THATS LOVE!!!!

Let me go thru 1 corinthians chapter 13..
There are several characteristics of LOVE mentioned here
LOVE IS PATIENT....
Patience we wait on our friend..we wont give up on one another,,
God is so patient to wait for His creation to belive Him , to start a relationship with Him..ELSE WE ALL WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSUMED BY NOW..
Wow that is love...God is so patient with us because HE IS LOVE

lOVE IS KIND...The acts we do..to help one another..IT i so kind...God diplayed His kindness to us...Are we kind to one another in our relationships??

LOVE DOES NOT ENVY..No envy...it never thinks bad abt others...If we love one another we wont envy others as they become blessed...

LOVE DOES NOT BOAST....O God..if we do some good to anyone we love to tell it with a loud speaker..

I DID THIS TO HIM...Love doesnt boast...
LOVE IS NOT PROUD..A proud person cant love,...Humbleness always generates love

LOVE IS NOT RUDE---It does not beahve in an unsocial manner...VIOLENCE we see evrywhere..killing and figthing..No bodies can stop the wars and the rude nature of man..except God's love.

LOVE IS not self-seeking---We expect many thing from our relationships..Relationship based on LOVE DOES NOT EXPECT ANYTHING...hard to digest rite???LOVE GIVES,GIVE S and GIVES...
Never expects/...CHRIST GAVE HIMSELF FOR US>>He didnt sign a contract with mankind and die on that cross...He didn’t
THATS love!!
LOVE IS NOT EASILY ANGERED--we live in world that makes us angry so easily..its very easy to get provoked..a person filled with love IS NOT ANGERED easily..
LOVE KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS..Search our hearts..we have many hurts caused by relationships..BUT LOVE ERASES ALL THAT..Perfect love covers the multitude of Sins

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth---It rejoices with Truth..it cant bear evil...tpo make it in common terms..we see a media that GLORIFIES VIOLENCE and EVIL>.LOVE DOESNT DELIGHT IN EVIL….these days “love” rejoices in premarital sex which is EVIL..it rejoices in UNHOLY relatioships which is EVIL…compromises on the vital spiritual values that can cost eternity…

LOVE ALWAYS PROTECTS...Gods proetction in our lives match no comparison..we also need to protect one another
LOVE ALWAYS TRUSTS...Trust is the backbone of every relationship based on love...
Trusting one another..not believing in circumstances and gossips....

LOVE ALWAYS HOPES...It is not weary..love always hopes
LOVE ALWAYS PERSEVERES...

LOVE NEVER FAILS......Wow...so beautiful..it never fails...Gods love for you it never fails..

Even in the church of the living God we find so many Hi talented people..Great men and women of God who are gifted by prophecy and tongues..
ITS SO RARE SO SO RARE to find people of God with this Gift called LOVE>...

What can we do??so clear...you can make a difference if you become a carrier of divine love..You can set an example in your relationships based on love...in this fragile world of relationships

The Holy Ghost can aid you

Rom 5:5
because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.


May the blessed Lord fill you with His love as you read this...Let me stop..Let the Holy Ghost continue to work...

May our relationships be based on LOVE AND NOT ON feelings!!!

-----------------------------------
Let me state some important facts that God expects in our relationship with HIM

1)Accept the invitation wholeheartedly
--------------------------------------
The heart matters a lot in our relationships.The relationship spoilt by the devil in the garden of EDEN was reestablished when

Reltaionships(1)-Garden of Eden

GARDEN OF EDEN
1)God--the originator of relationships
---------------------------------------
In the garden of Eden..God created ADAM in His own image..God saw that the MAN was good..The purpose of God creating Adam was to see Himself in ADAM...Our image casts out on who we are..GOD THE FATHER,GOD-THE SON and GOD the Holy Ghost created BODY,SOUL and SPIRIT in Man.

.Now listen.. the triune God together..there is such exchange of love.They delight so much in their fellowship..SUCH EXPLOSION OF LOVE!!

When God created man He wanted man to be storehouse of that love...

He expected man to have that love..God cherished always the fellowship He has with man..and OF ALL THE THINGS YOU GIVE GOD NOTHING COMPARES TO THE JOY HE HAS WHEN YOU GO TO HIM WITH ALL HIS LOVE IN YOUR HEART AND CONVERSE....GOD CREATED MAN FOR A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM...
Gen 1
"Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [b] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;



He understood that MAN was lonely...

18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."

19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.
But for Adam [h] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs [i] and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib [j] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

23 The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman, [k] '
for she was taken out of man."

24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

The man whom God created felt the vaccum..for a deeper relationship and there God comes as a help..O GOD KNOWS YOUR DEEPER LONGING!!He the one who created you knows what you need and whom you need!!!

God worked when man was sleeping..;-)

... the Bible is a book of relationships!!!

Some conclusions from the Garden of Eden
-----------------------------------------
1)God is the one who establishes relationships...He created Adam..He brought Eve to Him.

2)Devil wants to spoil relationships...HE DESPERATELY WANTS YOU TO LOSE THE RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE WITH GOD
He came by questioning God..questioning His word...Has the Lord told you??Why did the Lord tell you...??In the modern world also its like that.....NEVER LET ANYONE QUESTION YOUR GOD OR THE WORDS HE HAS SPOKEN...

3)ADAM took heed to EVE....that He forgot the WORD OF GOD..in a split of second he disobeyed God...It eventually spoilt His relationship with God.RElationships established by God spoil when we forget His word.

4)NEVER LET THE HUMAN RELATIONSHIP DICTATE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD..BUT LET THE DIVINE RELATIONSHIP DICTATE YOUR HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS.

I am leaning on His grace to continue again....I pray that his word will be a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.

THINK FOR A MINUTE...What is the state of your relatioship with God??
What all do you do to maintain the intimacy of that relatioship.??
WHich relationship do you give most importance to..??

The Lord loves you so much..would you draw close to Him...

Draw me close to You
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear You say that I'm Your friend

You are my desire
No one else will do
'Cause nothing else could ever take Your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to You



You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know You are near

Intoleranceeeeeeeeeee----------------------

Jesus the Son of God...after His baptism was led into the desert where He fasted and prayed for 40 days..here comes the unexpected guy in the picture.After tremendous time of prayer and fellowship with God we get so excited but always this unexpected one comes to us....at the most unexpected time..See Jesus encountering the prince of the world-Lucifer..

He tells Jesus.."You are hungry.."in other words you lack something...Many a time devil uses this tool to deceive us..He tells see others are eating..but you are hungry..you are in want.Dont let the deceiver deceive you..

Then He asked Christ the son of God to THROW HIMSELF DOWN..The devil likes playingwith your life..DOnt allow the wicked one to dictate or play around with your life.Whenever he draws near telling you to end your LIFE....take victory as Christ did through the word.

Ultimately the Devil wants you to worship Him..to end your divine relationship.The shameless deceiver asked jesus to worship him,in exchange for the world...CHRIST dealt with that without any tolerance...."AWAY FROM ME ..."He said..

We dont need anything in the world if we have HIm..Devil will illusion you,take your focus from God...Deal with Him ruthlessly

Another time when Peter rebuked Christ from His divine mission..Christ dealt with intolerance..He said"Get behind me SATAN"

Child of God..enemy wants to spoil you..He comes to you after the Carmel Fire and even after the 40 day fasting..Discern the voice of the Devil..Deal with him with intolerance..

Are u facing the enemy just say and cast Him out...!!!!!!!May you take victory in Jesus's mighty name

In the name of Jesus(2)
We have the victory,
HallelujahIn the name of jesus(2)Demons will have to flee
When we stand on the name of Jesus
tell me who can stand before
In the mighty name of Jesus
We have the victory

The God of Elijah!!

Elisha was walking with His master too long..he was a viewer of wht miracles Elijah was doing...ALl of us like to be viewers rite??in our xtian life also we just would love to view wats happening around and we get so happy,but Elisha inside had a deep longing...so honest and clear..THE DOUBLE PORTION OF THE SPIRIT THAT RESTED ON ELIJAH!!

Whats your goal regarding your spiritual life???We have been walking too long with Christ ..dont know sincerely or name sake;-)..BUT WATS that goal we have spiritually??Think abt this??

Let me Proceed..
Elijah said...If you see me taken upto heaven you shall have that!!
Elisha moved with elijah weherever he went..Was so faithful and that moment came when elijah was taken up..Elijah went up but down came His cloak!!
Child of God..Jesus Christ ascended to heaven...but down came the HOLYGHOST...
Here was Elisha standing with the Cloak that covered Elijah..The anointed child of God has the same Spirit that covered the Lord Jesus Christ.

Also came his way the overflowing Jordan...Elisha wasnt stuck there..He didnt start a new movement there..HE DIDNT START.."THE CLAOK OF ELIJAH MOVEMENT"..he didnt make the cloak of Elijah an idol!!He took the Cloak and struck Jordan....Crying.."WHERE IS THE GOD OF ELIJAH"..and Jordan parted.

Elisha who has the Cloak will have a Jordan in front of Him... Moses with the rod will have a red sea before Him...David who has the sling and stones will have goliath in front of Him..

Child of God the natural difficulties can only be overcome by the SUPERNATURAL spiritual resources God has given you.

Are you in front of Jordan..Srike it with the Cloak..front of the red sea..stretch forth your rod..in front of Goliath..........Use the sling..Victory is yours...

The God of Elijah is our God....

Creator and your Cry!!!!!!!!!!

A blind man by the name Barthimaueus Cried"Jesus Son of david Have mercy one me"...The People stopped him,but He CRIED ALL THE MORE............

The crowd asked Him to stop..But ChristStopped hearing His cry........The difference between creator and creation..

The Lord heard the CRY of the people of Isreal who were in bondage in EGYPT and came down to their rescue.David wrote"THIS poor man cried and the Lord heard...........and delivered Him from all his troubles"

Child of God,Christ on the cross Cried........."MY God,My God why have you forsake me"...........

Your cry splits the heart,fills your eyes opens your mouth and reaches heavens.......WORDS WONT...........>>>>>>>>>>Your tears go straight to His heart,He stores them in the bottle.........He stops hearing your cry and will answer you.

Next time, dont cry to the crowd but cry to Christ..........wash His feet in tears of love.
HE HEARS YOUR CRY

Luke 18:7And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?

Total Victory;-)

People of God should be IN CONTROL over the enemy..There is an enemy who is on His move always.He has power...the enemy has his agents...ONe aim..to bring the people of God back to captivity..bring them under his control...to make them lack faith n trust in God.

David understood the need for a TOTAL VICTORY..he took the sling and flunged it to Goliath..Goliath was down dead..David was not satisfied with that.."
David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine's sword and drew it from the scabbard. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword. "

Elijah was not contented with having brought fire from heaven and display of God's power...he didnt go and boast of Himself or go and take rest...He Seized the prophets of Baal. without letting anyone get away and slaughtered them there.

King Saul didnt destroy the enemy fully and He had to face consequences..

Christ has truimphed over the devil as He died on that cross and rose again..BUT He wants us to have the FINAL TOTAL VICTORY...He gave us authority to trample upon SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS AND UPON ALL POWERS OF THE ENEMY...Have we done that..??

DONT BE KIND TO THE DEVIL...Have total faith ..Resist him and he will flee from you..but also trample him..VICTORY IS OURS........

The day is coming when the GOD OF PEACE WILL CRUSH SATAN DOWN UNDER OUR FEET..Have Total victory ..........
Dont leave the DEVIL.........Be vctorious over sins,diseases..over every power of the evil one in His name.

"In the name of Jesus(2)We have the victoryHallelujah..
In the name of Jesus(2)Demons will have to flee
When we stand on the name of Jesus..tell me who can stand before..
In the mighty name of Jesus,we have the victory

.......keep ME TrUe!!

Daniel heard that law has been passed in the land which was against what he followed.We read that He went to the upper chamber where the windows were open and knelt down and thanked God thrice "AS HE HAD DONE PREVIOUSLY"

Spiritual exercises matter a lot...It should be " a routine".."not once in a while"...It depends on that..God and heavens look into that and work....

David was given an armor which Saul used for battles..He couldnt use that to confront Goliath..Child of God money,fame,pleasures of the world and once in while prayer cant do anything...David was bold enough to refuse what saul gave, to what he was used to..his staff ,sling, his bag and stones

Fasting and prayer..waiting on the Holy Ghost..basics of faith and holiness..gifts of the Spirit,feeding on His word...This should not be compromised with as culture and time changes...

david used the same weapons He used as he kiiled the lion and the bear.
Christ before going to the cross..dint call for an urgent 21 days fasting and prayer..but IT WAS HIS routine in goint to MOUNT OLIVES..where he took victory over the devil..as he cried"abba father let thy will be done

CHILD OF GOD what you do "normally" spiritually is what will give significant victories..

YES you know what happened Goliath was struck down,the mouth of the lions were shut,.the grave was Split..
QUESTION:Do we do our spiritual exercises "NORMALLY"

keep me true Lord Jesus Keep me true (2)
there is a race that I must run there are victories to be won
Give me power every hour to be true

GoD who Takes You THrUUUUU!!!!!!

The Lord delivered the Israelites from the cruel bondage they had..in EGYPT..
They were free by God's outstretched arm....The blood of the Lamb has power..Child of God You got the greatest deliverance when you trusted the blood
and applied it with faith on your doors of your heart..what joy those days were..

The journey was so happy till they came to the red sea...It was the Lord who led them there..They looked behind and also saw the constant pursuit of the enemy to drag them again to bondage..
The enemy had chariots ,all sorts of weaponary..AIM: to bring the children of God back to Bondage..
LET ME TELL YOU IF THE LORD CALLED YOU,DELIVERED YOU by His blood...
NO WEAPON THAT IS FASHIONED AGAINST YOU SHALL STAND.....

IF THE LORD BROUGHT YOU TO THE RED SEA HE WONT REGRET THAT HE BROUGHT YOU There BUT IS STRONG TO TAKE YOU THROUGH IT....He wont ask you to go back and then come again through another way..
Stand still see How He takes yOU "THROUGH IT"..They came to jericho..It was not a failure in God's plan..but God who brought you to JERICHO Will TAKE YOU THROUGH it..!!
God brought 3 hebrew slaves in BABYLON to stand for Him..HE DIDNT WANT THEM TO WITHDRAW at the order of the enemy..HE BROUGHT THEM TO THE FIRE...HE WAS FAITHFUL TO TAKE THEM THROUGH It when he came down and walked with these lads in the fire..halleleujah.

Christ was taken to the cross..........GOD DIDNT WANT HIM to give up..BUT GOD who brought Christ the man to the CROSS WAS STRONG TO SPLIT THE GRAVE,Conquer death AND BRING HIM to life!!

Child of God..Are u facing read Sea..See Him split it by His power and you will walk safely AS ON DRY LAND..facing jericho walls..See Him bring down the strong walls by the shouts of your praise...Facing the test of faith..See HIM TAKING YOU THROUGH The fire..as the fourth man who walked with those three babylonian slaves!!!!!

ENDnote.....The Lord who brought you to IT Will take you through IT......He never makes mistakes....

God answers on your........;-)

A patient with severe Heart problem was taken to a doctor in my place.He said he couldnt treat that,but he referred Him to the hospital in the city.Man is like that...our confidence is proportional to the size of the problem.A normal fever we "BELIEVE" that our God can heal,butcancer??....our eyebrows are raised!!

Our God is not like that..thats what it makes Him God..He is not a doctor who refers to another hospital..He is not a man that he runs away..and our problems are not problems to Him..He doesnt look at the nature of disease and if possible treat it...He is not perplexed by Cancer OR BRAIN TUMOR..but He works based on one thing.

He saw that in that centurion who said
"LORD AM NOT WORTHY THAT YOU COME TO MY HOUSE AND THEN HEAL,YOU SAY A WORD"

He saw that in the woman who had a severe disease for 12 years.as she "touched the helm of His garment"

He saw that in those four friends who made a "door through the roof"(usually doors are made thru the side;-)) for their paralysed friend to be healed...

BUT HE DIDNT SEE THAT IN HIS DISCIPLES SO CLOSE TO HIM WHO EXPERIENCED HIM MORE CLOSER THAN ANYONE ELSE AS THEY CONFRONTED A STORm....
YES
GOD WORKS ON YOUR FAITH!!!!!!!!He looks for that and works rather than the difficulty of your problem.
Today have you presented some request to GOD and waiting for an answer??,but He looks AT YOUR FAITH.........
Child of God........Let faith rise in your soul.LET IT RISE NOW....HE IS ABLE.....Let it come to the act...GOD WONT keep quiet

rememeberHeb 11:6
FOR A CHILD OF GOD HIS OXYGEN IS FAITH AND CARBONDIOXIDE IS DOUBT!!

Chariots and THE SPIRIT;-)

Ahab went up to mount carmel after the Jehova- proved that HE IS God by sending Fire from heaven,to eat and drink.
Elijah, see this man of God He also went up the mount..put His head around His feet..started to pray..
The world eats and drinks..when the world evn though know that there is a God..THEY PREFER TO EAT AND DRINk,INDULGE IN ALL IMMORALITY,TELL BLASPHEMY ABT GOD..but I thank God for His people who put their faces round their knees and cry till the cloud comes..
Ahab got into His chariot..to go down to Israel as the sky grew dark...Ahab's speed was dependent on that chariot..the world's happiness depends on the share market,depends on the finances,depends on the yields..depepnds on selfish nature but see ELIJAH to whom the SPIRIT came upon..He started running..His movement was dependent on the SPIRIT..

Not by power,not by might but by my Spirt says the LORd God almighty...o God i cant type this...

Philip after His ministry in the desert was TAKEN BY THE SPIRIT...

AHAB's life ended in that chariot...ELijah's life driven by the SPIRIT didnt end..He was denied a worldly chariot..BUT HE WAS WELCOMED HOME BY CHARIOTS OF FIRE>...Child of God..we dont need the chariots of the world in which we die..we need the Spirit...that gives us eternal life...

EATERS AND DRINKERS WILL REMAIN HERE>...PRAYERFUL PEOPLE WILL GO uP..PEOPLE LED BY CHARIOTS WILL DIE HERE........PEOPLE DRIVEN BY THE SPIRIT WILL FLY UP..O God..

Some boast of Chariots,some boast of Horses but we .but we ,but we boast in the name of our LORD GOD ALMIGHTY..

WASHERS OF nETS tO fISHERS of mEN!!!!

Those fishermen were washing their empty Nets.......Its been a long night..They didnt even want to think abt that..the work, labor all were in vain..Its like THAT IN life you wont have success ALWAYS..And we are desperate to come out of that.....

REMEMBER IT WAS ON THAT BOAT WHERE THE MASTER"S EYES WERE!!Its on those fishermen the MasteR wanted to reach out to.....Am i talking to a person who is washing an empty net??good news

His eyes are on you..
He wont allow you to wash those emPty nets for LONG....HE WANTS YOU TO GO DEEPER..

IF He says to go deeper and let the nets for a catch..You better do that..He may ask you to fill the empty jars with water you better do it..Or He may ask you to bring the five loaves and 2 fish..or He may ask you to roll the stone.....YOU BETTER DO WHAT HE SAYS,WHAT HE SAYS IS BEYOND HUMAN LOGIC AND THINKING....He was faithful to filL those twO boats with too much fish that its began to sink..

CHILD OF GOD ITS BEEN TOO LONG THAT YOU ARE TRYING FOR SOMETHING..WASHING THOSE EMPTY NETS..LIVES DEVOID OF POWER..and ZEAL..LISTEN TO HIS WORD..LET OUT YOUR NETS FOR A CATCH...Go deeper..SOMETHING GREAT IS GONNA HAPPEN..

Rather than being washers of nets lets hear His call to be Fishers of men

U will be with me;-)

yOU WILL BE WITH ME................

tHOSE WORDS JUST WOULD HAVE MADE HIM FORGET ALL ABT HIS PAIN,hIS PAST...being a public spectacle.......hanging on the cross with the weight of his guilt and sin.
He had no hope at all....but suddenly the sun began to rise in His darnkess filled life..
"YOU ARE GONNA BE WITH ME" ......

which meant he is not going to be with that guilt,not with that pain,not with that shame...What else does a criminal who has only sinned in His whole life needs..thats God's mercy..

Child of God..the message from the savior on the cross is same to you and me,,,,,,,
we are not going to BE with sin,death,guilt,shame,sickness ..but we are going to be WITH HIM...
no wonder paul said

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written: 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[m] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Mans Jar..God's well;-)

She was so happy at a point of time....being called the wife of the one whom she served once...She was no longer a member of the "servants fellowship"...but now she was in the top hierarchy.Ishmael was born.........
but things changed all of a sudden when Issac was born.

She was ill treated and despised ...........

Life is like this. We are forced to changes suddenly. We see men changing color, turning their backs to you and despising you.
BUT OUR GOD IS THE UNCHANGING ONE!!!!!!!.

One morning..Abraham sent hagar and her son Ishmael out..All was lost, they became wanderers in the desert. Lost in the middle of nowhere.....
Many a time we also face such a situation. We are left all alone, to face the heat in the desert with the thirst killing us and the betrayed love choking us.DO not forget the Lord is our shade by our right hand..BUT

.Abraham didnt forget to give her "some food and a skin of water "

..Man can only give you this much..Its always "SOME bread" "Some love" "some ... " some O God who Am i speaking to...Dont get discouraged when u get this "some" and from men

Little while after God Opened her eyes to see"WELL OF WATER"Opened for her..REMEMBER WHEN MAN'S PROVISION FAIL YOU AND WHEN U SOB ..THOSE TEARS ARE THE source FOR DIVINE RESoURCES TO OPEN FOR YOU AND SUSTAIN YOU
When Men's resources fail you divine resources sustain you ..

O And MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEEDS ACCORDING TO HIS..ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES....And O My God"Now unto Him who is able to do EXCEEDINGLY AND ABUNDANTLY THAN WHAT WE ASK OR THINK..."The power of His word is powerful I cant go furtherIf u feel happy and encouraged noone is stopping you say a hallelujah !!;-)..Its always man's some and God's TOO MUCH~

His House;-)

surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my lifeand I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever
Assurance is what we look for in an uncertain world..

we have uncertain days ahead of us.These days our shifts,work pressure sends up stress signals.We feel less addicted to His Word..We arrive at our own logical conclusions.
PSALMIST WAS ASSURED OF ONE THING..that applies to us too..
surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.Dont forget this day has elements of God's mercy and goodness behind you.

Dont forget...after imbibing this assurance DAvid tells"AND I SHALL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER AND EVER"Assurance of this truth for a lifetime leads us to acknowledging Him for eternity.
House of the Lord..dont think it as a church building..His House..imagine God's house...Pillars of righteousnessFoundation of God's word..Echoing the angelic chant.HOLY HOLY Holy....not any secular one!!,Throne of truth,Garments of holiness,righteousness,peace and joy of the Holy Ghost,freshened atmosphere of His love..and much more..

DO U DWELL IN IT??

Time Is Up!!!!!

Sarah laughed when the the Lord said that next year this time youyou will have a child..She thought that the TIME FOR CONCEIVING A CHILD WAS OVER!!The Lord said"TIME IS UP"

Martha said to Jesus...."Its 4 days since he died..dont roll away the stone..thank you Lord atleast now you came!"In other words she said..Time is over for a miracle..CHRIST wept but He Said"TIME IS UP"as He shouted "Lazarus come out"

Many a time we give up..excuse is"Time is over"Gently these moments hear the still small voice of the mastertelling"TIME IS UP"

Child of God..Time is up.........Miracle is on the wayBelive and accept it..Unsaved family is going to be saved..New ways of His provision.TIME IS UP..IT IS NOT OVER

LIFT His Rod!!!!

Moses was in the wilderness.......He had a rod,that he used to graze the sheep with..This rod was used to defend the sheep,guide the sheep,but when he came to Mount Horeb...He saw the GREAT I AM..
God first asked Him..what was in His hand..He put it down in His presence.From then on it was called the Lord's Rod not Moses's Rod.Whatever we have when we offer it in God's feet..it becomes His not ours..Our lives when we worship..it becomes His..Not ours

Suddenly the amalekites came to attack the israelites at rephidim ..the enemy comes without a warning..Moses has no other go..He knew He had something which the enemy didnt have.

HE REMEMBERED THE LORD's ROD...the same rod that swallowed pharoah's evil snakes..the same rod when stretched the red sea parted...now u see Moses in the Hill with the rod of God in His hands lifted up..The circumstances were different...but the Rod of God was enough,His grace is enough dear.

CHILD OF GOD...Do have His word in your heart, a promise that was given in Holy Ground..in your mouth...Its enough to tackle the sitaution.

REMEMBER WHEN UR HANDS ARE DOWN THE ENEMY GAINS...ELSE ITS VICTORY FOR You and HIS PEOPLE>..Lets be people who have His Rod in our hands always lifted up.

PERCEPTION TO RECEPTION!@#

ELIJAH SAID TO Ahab".... there is the sound of a heavy rain." .

Ahab could not hear it..but the man of God could perceive..i thank God for all people of God who perceive things .

Perception is different from reception..many of us perceive things but seldom receive things..we think our healing is near,but time seems to be shooting by..many of us perceive a blessing but nothing seems to happen.

Elijah perceived that a heavy rain was coming and that made Him go to carmel...he didnt tell that "I am tired Lord..I brought fire from heaven..killed many baal prophets..Now I need some good food"

No he didnt do that, Perception of things should lead us to our knees...Elijah went and knelt in carmel..prayed persistently till He heard His servant saying,"

A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea." That was the time when Elijah stood up ....

Christ perceived that Lazarus was goin to be alive..but Lazarus was alive only afteChrist prayed to the father..

BETWEEN PERCEPTION AND RECEPTION THERE IS A TIME OF INTENSE PRAYER....Do you perceive a blessing near by..better get on your knees and receive it..Do you perceive Healing..pray and receive, a job..kneel down and dont get up till u receive!

May God help us to receive those we have perceived!!

He took Him OUTSIDE~~

Many a time we are inside our own world...our own thoughts...our doubts

Abram was called by God..The calling was so powerful that made Him forget His home,occupation.I thank God for all who are called BY HIM..called unto His eternal purpose...Alrite..Years passed by..the promise given by God was not fulfilled

and the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, [a] your very great rewardChild of God..HE IS OUR REWARD...and our shield..let me go further..Abram asked a question "O Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit [c] my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?" 3 And Abram said, "You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir."
He took him outside and said, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars—if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be."
6 Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness
ONLY IF GOD BRINGS US OUTSIDE We will believe..Only if God brings Lazarus OUTSIDE the tomb,His glory will be revealed.

Child of God..He asks us to come oUTSIDE>>.outside our doubts..outside our fears..outside OUR DISEASES,To a world of His promises,peace..power..faith.MAY HE BRING YOU OUTSIDE ...and then you will believe and it will be counted as RIGHTEOUSNESS.
O GOD BRING US OUTSIDE!!!!!

Blessings to the Blessed Lord!!!!

Jacob ran away from His Home,reason His dad blessed Him.Strange isnt it??Immediately after a blessing you run away from home fearing your own brother...Life seeming so insecure moments after Getting blessed.Jacob ran for his life..He was all alone now.Blessings led Jacob to face loneliness,fear,insecurity and what else.

He came to a place called LUZ.Bcoz the sun had set,He found no other way,rather than to take a stone from that place and make it as a pillow.Stone Pillow!!That Night..in midst of all those ,his inward eyes were opned...He saw Heavens opened and heard the voice of the God of His fathers.CHILD OF GOD this is what blessings will lead you to...This is the ultimate destination.
Life will not end in loneliness and fear,life will not end the same way we are in...The ultimate destination where blessings will take you to is to the presence of the Almighty....
There you receive promises from god..there you find purpose for your life..there you find peace in midst of storms...The stone Pillow you will turn it to be a pillar..
Blessings shud lead you to the blessed....No where else!!One question..where have your jobs,money,health...salvation..led you to...
May The blessings we have lead us to the blessed Lord.

Our Good God

-----------Daniel was in the lion's den..put by jealous people.
Huge gallows were being built for Mordecai by Haman.
Joseph was in the pit and prison for no reason.
Christ was put to great shame ...that too for no reason...

The Evil devil puts you in different places to Kill you,to make an end to your hopes n future,but we have a good God who knows what to do with His anointed in those times.

The devil's plans stop with the man of God in the Den,but God goes beyond that to send an angel to shut the mouth of the LION.The evil devil thought and laughed seeing the gallows for mordecai,but the Good God had an esther in the palace.
Enemy thought Joseph is over with the prison,but God knew it was just a beginning,as He gave Joseph divine gift to interpret vision.Cross was not the end of Christ...there was a third day of God's power.

Child of God.to put it short..We have a good God who knows what to do wherever you are!!!!!

MAKE A COMEBACK!!!!

For 12 years this lady had a bad bleeding disease,diagonized by many famous physicians...her life became very miserable...one moment she made a comeback.with all her pain and sorrow,she touched the helm of the Master's garment..She made a comeback...

A thief all his life..have done only wrong,made lives of many miserable...one look at the master's bleeding face changed Him.He made a comeback by making an honest confession..

Mary MagDALENE,Elijah,david..all had their moments of a comeback.Are you looking for a comeback??

Make a gentle touch,an honest confession ,shed tears of repentance.MAKE A COMEBACK

Isaiah 42:3 A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.

Loveliness in Loneliness;-)

Loneliness..that could be what you are facing right now.. couldn't it?

God didnt want man to be lonely and doesn't want. That was the first issue what God dealt with regard to man.He created a partner for Adam in Eve. Dont misunderstand - this is not a marriage sermon!!;-).

God orchestrates these paths of loneliness for us to enjoy His loveliness..

Yes, it was when Hagar was driven off from home that she met the Lord of Abraham who would make springs in the dry land..I am talking to someone...yes..you night be thinking you are all alone..but understand something lovely is somewhere near.

Only when he slept taking a stone as his pillow at a place called LUZ(later named by him as Bethel) did jacob realize ,who the God of his fathers was.And there he saw a ladder placed between heaven and earth and angels ascending and descending. That place was his turning point.

Only when he came all alone to the mountain of God and as he heard the VOICE from the burning bush which was not consumed, did Moses know who the God of Hebrews was. David, Daniel, Jonah...and even Christ when He was in this world had to be lonely in the wilderness to be filled by the Holy Ghost.

Are u dejected? Lonely? Who knows. You might see a spring in the wilderness; see a ladder in the place of uneasiness; or even a burning bush...

Child of God, open ur eyes. As you tread paths of loneliness dont forget to see that LOVELINESS OF YOUR GOD who promised"I will never leave you nor forsake You""I will be with you till the end of the age""

No never aloneNo never aloneHe promised never to leave me never to leave me alone"

DeeplY Moved

Problems are common to all....whoever we are..whatever be our postion spiritual or physical.The House of Bethany was not exempted from that,though they were the family our dear Lord loved so much.They had to face difficulties like that Sidonian woman...like that widow at nain.

But our response to problems vary depending on pur relatioship with Him.see what the Bethany sisters told
So the sisters sent word to Jesus, "Lord, the one you love is sick." 7 words..nothing more..nothing less..How are we presenting our requests to Him..Do we express our relationship to Him as we tell Him our needs.."the one whom you LOVE"..

We read then Christ didnt come immediately,but if the message reaches Him,trust Him..He will COME..No doubts..

Jesus came to the village..we read after four days.but what toched me this time was,the way mary responded."When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said,"
See how Christ Responded" he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled."

When u come out of that house of weeping,sorrows,loses to where Christ is and worship Him,adore him,pour out your love to HimJesus will be deeply moved...deeply moved..When He is deeply moved,death cannot hold lazarus,when He is deeply moved,situations will not be the same.

Question is "Whether He will be deeply moved seeing our attitudes,words,life and worship"??

amen
You know that,I love you,You know that,I want to know you so much more,More than I have beforeThese words are,From my heart,These words are,Not made up,I will live for you,I am devoted to you,
Pre-Chorus:
King of MajestyI have one desireJust to be with you my Lord,
Just to be with you my Lord,
Chorus:Jesus you are the Saviour of my soulAnd forever and ever I'll give my praises to you,Jesus you are the Saviour of my soulAnd forever and ever I'll give my praises to you,Bridge:Jesus you are the Saviour of my soul(echo)And forever and ever I'll give my praises to you(echo)

walking to Him

WalkinG TO Him-------------------------------------

Peter and the disciples were so worn off because of the winds that were againstthem..The boat was beaten by the waters..Waters were rising and as this was journey compelledby the master they must have been more perplexed..It was the fourth watch of the night ..Noone will be there to help them.Child of God..Winds may be against you but when He is on your side..we shud not be afraid..Nothing can b against you.Yes If God is for us who can be against us..??God is on my side..what can man do to me??

Now in that fearful night ..abt the fourth watch..The initiator of this journey came to them,walking on those waters.Listen,if the Lord initiates something He is faithful to complete,its His Duty..But always let the Lord initiate.The disciples now could not recognize Him..They thought "it was a ghost"..When the Master draws closer always we tend to doubt.We dont doubt our friend,we dont doubt the presence of our relative but when he draws near..we put it as our emotions, we always doubt His presence..If it is Him.He will first say"DO NOT FEAR"...Fear has no room in His powerful presence..Suddenly the unpredictable Peter experienced faith springing up from His fearful soul..O God..This is what His presence does..Fear makes way to faith..right now i feel it aropund me and i know you will expereince the same now..Let fears go in Christ's name..

Peter said"Lord if it is you.."ask me to come to you"This is what i was touched..If we saw Christ that time..our question would have been.."If it is you,why did you let this happen??"Why did you leave us all alone??Why did you come so late..an it goes on..But peter said"Lord I want to walk through this troubled waters and reach you"I want to walk..If you are facing a similar situation like this,why dont you ask the Lord now to empower you to walk through those troubles to reach Him and Him alone...??

Our dwelling Place

Psalm 90
1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.

As I write these lines..the entire world is in a state of shock after a tragic weekend in which many lives being wiped off from the face of the earth due to an earthquake in Pakistan and parts of kasmir....The shelters we think that are secure becoming the cause of our end!!The resources which we feel permanent failing us..
The beauty that we cherish..the strength we have all becoming useless within just seconds.

The verse above says about a dwelling place that has been throughout all generations..right from the beginning and those who find shelter under it are safe.The resources in this dwelling place are just wonderful..The water we drink in this shelter will cause us to thirst no more.The food we eat from this shelter causes us to hunger no more...The love we get from this dwelling place has no comparisons,
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you;

The strength we find in this shelter...is just powerful that we sour with wings as eagles..
The safety we have in this just see..

If you make the Most High your dwelling— even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.

DONT RUN BEHIND THE SHELTERS THAT ARE TEMPERORY AND ARE WORTHLESS and ARE NOT SECURE....FIND SHELTER THIS WEEK AND HENCE FORTH IN THE LORD WHO HAS BEEN OUR DWELLING PLACE THROUGHOUT ALL GENERATIONS...

Blessed Be His glorious name

Have a wonderful week ahead

Still Beyond...till the Still small Voice!!

ELijah...didnt have a cellphone..otherwise jezebel would have messaged the warning,by the CellPhone!!but instead she sent a messenger to threaten a person who proved to all Isarelites that Jehovah Is God by bringing fire from heaven.I imagine the foolishness of Jezebel..She didnt kill Elijah by the messenger..!!

Let me place a truth..The wicked devil cant touch you till permitted by your creator...Psalm 91..O his power is moving as you read" He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty."...

Her warning was"May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them."
Her warning to Elijah was not concerned abt the present,but abt ELijah's tomorrow..Dont we have a lesson here..Devil always targets our tomorrows.The wicked one whispers doubts,threatenings in our minds by telling us abt our uncertain tomorrows.

Child oF God..listen to what our Lord says"Do Not worry abt tomorrow.."He doesnt want us to get worried..because He holds our tomorrows,not the Wicked devil.Live one day at a time..but like how we feel always...

ELijah was dicouraged by the wicked one's message.He came till Beersheba.and rested under a broom tree...The Lord didnt leave Him..He sent His angel to minister to Him..He was given Heavenly provision.He came still beyond with that strength to the mount of God..Many a time we are satisfied by the provision of the angel..say a hallelujah and walk back home.Elijah dint do that..he reached Horeb,the mountain of the Lord..Heavenly provision is given for you to go to the mountain of God...Elijah went to a cave in the mountain.

We then see..He was faced by the power of God..Wind,earthquake and fire came..He didnt run home seeing the power of God..he came still beyond that to hear a still small voice..That voice changed ELijah's world..empowered Elijah with a new mission...Dearest,we have many stories to tell of His provision..but have we walked with that to the Mountain of God??We have stories to tell about the Fire,earthquake and wind we saw..yes His power..but how much do we wait and come again to that moment when the STILL SMALL VOICE of God deals with us.
O that voice will change us..Uncertain tomorrows will be certain by His power and purpose..No wicked devil can do anythinG!!Get assured Now..COME STILL BEYOND YOUR SITUATION.yes these sacred moments as u read this..walk to the mountain of God..Take time to hear the still small voice!!COME...COME OUT TO HEAR THE STILL SMALL VOICE!!Be blessed in His name,be healed..be delivered,be empowered NOW!!!

WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Simon and His friends worked hard..labored all the night to get something(atleast some fish!!) in their nets.Nothing happened..Simon was an expert in the sea..but that night He was frustrated.We also feel like this many a time,dry,void..lack of purpose..Suddenly everything seems to go wrong,and that toounexpectedly..

Moses was brought up as the prince of Egypt,where was the better place to start a revolution.He had man power,people in egypt respected their Prince..but deep inside He wanted to release His people,the israelitesfrom bondage...He tried His best.Killed an egyptian..but it was a big flop!!!He ran for His life to MIDIAN....We also feel many a time like this..we try to do something for Others..but we land up in a bigger trouBle
BUT THEIR LIVES DIDNT continue to be the SAMe..THEY WERE NOT FAILURES ALL THE TIME.
The next morning Christ was there in that empty boat of SIMON.If there is a night of failure,dont forget there is a morning of VICTORY AND JOY WITH CHRIST!!
Moses met the GREAT I AM..When His rod became the Lord's rod..HE went straight back to Pharoah..that old palace where He thoughtHe was a failure.

Through this blog I want to remind by the authority of His word...HIS PRESENCE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE IN OUR FAILURES,IN OUR DYING PLACES..IN OUR DARK VALLEYS,DEEP OCEANS..
Exodus 33:16 How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?"
Psalms 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, [a] I will fear no evil, for you are with me
Let our prayer be
Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
REMEMBER the words of ChrisT

JOHN 15:5 apart from me you can do nothing.
Matthew 28:20And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

HIS PRESENCE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

The Name that matters the MOST

He was as usual looking at each and everyone going to the temple.Eyes fixed on their eyes and hands.We also have seen this sight..people who look into our eyes and hands..sply in front of places of worship.

This temple's gate was called beautiful,but outside were sights like this so bad.The Bible says in Acts 3,that He was laid every day there,maybe by His friends or relatives.Friends or relations couldnt take him beyond that...dear,let me impress upon you a truth.Friends,your relations and all can take you only to an exent..not beyond that.Limitations in loving you,in helping you...but then its your life.You have to live it out,facing loneliness,depression,like this lame man.This poor man's acquintances laid him outside the templeto BEG in that hot sun,crying out to people for alms..You define this friendship.!!!!
Alrite..that time 2 men of God,Peter and John were coming to that Temple during the "HOUR OF PRAYER".If something can happen seriously to lives ..its during the hour of prayer...it happens to anyone..anyone who prays,who is prayed for..Hour of TV watching,hour of chatting..hour of vain talks..nothing can happen during that..but during HOUR OF PRAYER many things happen!!They saw this man who asked them also for alms.. Peter said"Look at us!" So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."

O God..this man must have been puzzled..it was all of a sudden and then He sees peter's hand stretched out to Him.he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.

There was something in Peter more powerful,costlier..dearer to Him than Silver and Gold.It was the name of Jesus.He gave it to the lame man...ONLY THAT NAME takes us to the temple courts to enjoy His presence..Only that name can change us.Only that name can give strength to our weak cells.Your friends restrict you..but this name causes you to expand your territory,Your diseases restrict you,but This name HEALS YOU.
.If you do not know abt that name..let it be known to you through this thought.Take that name JESUS..Let it lift us up from our situation and take us into His courts so that we may praise Him.Be healed,be touched..be empowered in His name..Yes this is the name that matters the MOST!!

Lessons from the NightComer

Listen what the scriptures say abt this person..his name is Nicodemus.1Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him."

Now give ur ear..a member of an entire community and a man of the religious council.A Man who tithed correctly..who fasted 3 times a week,a master of the law!!It looks like some of us..a person who prays everyday,who does no evil,respected by societyand also a senior in the church...He came to JESUS.He had some questions.Many of us because of questions go back from Him..Friend you might have some questions the right person to ask those is Christ...Well this man came at night to Jesus..Our night shud not be too dark that we miss out the Light.We shud have sight and take the right decision to come to the light.Are you gropping in the dark,darkness of questions,of diseases,of burdens??Open ur eyes child of God..Come to the light.the light of answers..light of healing that Christ provides.

Another thing that struck me is..Nicodemus didnt even ask a question..he just said a fact first
Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him." and also 2 other questions' in this big coversation
"How can a man be born when he is old?" 9"How can this be?" Totally 3 times He speaks..rest all are the Lord's words...When we come to His presence something similar shud happenIts He who takes Over..He speaks and we hear the most..He does and we experience it..
Yes when we draw closer to Him..Let Him do things the most..Let Him be the Lord.We see Nicodemus last at the foot of the cross.What a glorious experience.Take a decision...to be still and know that HE IS GOD.

Just as I am, without one plea,
but that thy blood was shed for me,
and that thou bidd'st me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, though tossed aboutwith many a conflict,
many a doubt;fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Do NoT PasS me By...

Abraham...The call had some package of promises with it.He boldly obeyed that call without looking at the promise but the one who gave the promise..Dont start ur journey seeing the promise,but start seeing the One who gives you the promise..

...He started but now He was in the wilderness the Bible records GEN 18 "At the heat of the day"..when noone dare to walk on that HOT desert.Abraham lifted His head...O dear child...You may think..that the promise package is a feeling coz nothing has happened and its noontime already..Noone will dare to walk ..

But LIFT up your heads....You will see the Lord walking in that Heat outside....He comes thru that Hot sand..that prevents you from going outside...Your feet may burn,but His wont...and He is faithful to carry you...YES HE WALKS AND COMES TO YOU...amidst the doubts and troubles you face..HE walked among those troubled waters where His disciples were afraid,He walked with the 3 hebrews in the fire
He is not the God who comes in a cloud to you while u suffer on earth...He comes to you however you are wherevr you are..
...for he himself has suffered,being tempted.He is able to aid those who are tempted...He walks where noone dares to walk....that too for US..
1 But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush [a] and Seba in your stead.
4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life.


And fall at the feet of God..and cry"DO NOT PASS ME BY"

Your age must have passed you...ur stage for reception of promises must have passed ,That doesnt matter..
But it matters when Christ passes by..Dont leave Him..Jacob,Jabez,Abraham.........blind Barthimaues all did not allow the Lord to pass by..without dealing with them...

Every time in a church or in a fellowship..in the house of God...in ur troubles..in your good times..HE PASSES BY YOU..but let our prayer be
"SAVIOR SAVIOR,hear my humble cry
while on others thou art calling
Do not pass me By"

IT IS FINISHED!!

Moses must have thought, as I shared before, that His mission of delivering the people is Over.We also love to do something for God,but circumstances keep us from doing that and we think its all over.Moses thought which was the better place other than the PALACE to do His work,but this YAHWEH God dint allow that.What use is if i stay in the wilderness??

Thats the time when God takes over.Elijah thought the the same when he heard the warnings of Jezebel...but theLord took over then..what can Moses do in His in laws house???in Midian??
But the great sight drew Him closer to His purpose.

But by this time frustration had crept in..he could only tell of His inabalities...We also do that..we always degrade that deeper mision and vision in our hearts..We always tell abt inabilities to GOD but We write a lot of our abilities for the world to use us(if there is a doubt see ur resume!!)

..but when it comes to divine service,the devil has blinded us...

The Lord later made Him understand that DELIVERANCE came to Isarelites not because of the abilities,orthe Rod of Moses or the 40lakh manpower He had,but it was by the Blood of THE LAMB that was shed during the passover night!!

Everything was over,when the lamb was sacrificed,we just need to apply that in our lives!!!Everything was over,when Christ the LAMB OF GOD was sacrificed!!!U just need to apply that in ur ministry,encourage your friends to apply that..ur families...!!!!REvival will begin..

THE WORK FOR DELIVERANCE AND REVIVAL IS OVER..with CHRIST HANGING NAKEDLY ON THE CROSS AND RISING UP VICTORIOUSLY!!

WOULD YOU DO SERVICE FOR JESUS YOUR KING

THERE's power in the blood,power in the blood

Would you Live Daily His praises to SING

There's wonderful power in the blood

There is power,power,wonderworking power in the Blood of the LAMBThere is power,power,wonderworking powerin the precious blood of the LAMB

(THE LORD TAUGHT ME THIS AS I WAS BURDENED ON HOW TO DO ZPT...)

The Great Sight!!

Moses thought that His work with regard to the deliverance of His brethren was over.He had revolutuion in is blood,He was a child kept by God..grown by the LORD.Friend,if you are reading this..let me tell you...all these days,it is the LORD who kept you by His power.THE Nile river was so deep...but the LOVE AND POWER OF GOD WAS DEEPER.

The sights in the palace he grew up was great...Egyptian architecture was awesome..but the sight that he was alarmed by was the GREAT SIGHT he saw as He came to the Mount of God.
The bush was burning ,but it was not consumed..He turned aside to see this great Sight.

In your weakness,if you glorify God...In your failures,you still trustGod..In your diseases and trials you still cling on to HIM..No sight is greater than this..

DANIEL UNMOVABLE IN front of the lions,the 3 hebrews in the burning fire....Paul and Silas singing in the prison...Graham Staines and children in the fire...YOU and me clinging to God in the darkest of nights..No sight is powerful than this...
its all because
of that sight we saw where the son of God silent...not even opening His mouth..BUT Submitting Himself to be crushed

Have you seen this great sight..??

CLOSE TO HIS HEART!!!

There was a large crowd....I was also very tired after my day's work...Sun shining in all its fury.~~I usually come along way,but unusually a big crowd..There were sounds of cry.....some of them in anger and others in pity...I also could see a man falling and getting up...falling and gettin up...I thought it was yet another criminal who was being led to crucify.

I was a bit more anxious to see this man,I went nearer..Suddenly a roman soldier took me by my hand and forced me to carry that heavy cross....I starred at that man..who was so weak..Blood was seen all around...He also looked at me with blood covering His face..Yes literally Like a lamb that was led to Slaughter..That look changed my life...I dropped all my burden and started carrying HIS.I stopped complaining,I stopped grumbling..That look just shook me!!
I was forced...I was coming after a hectic day of work.but i made up my mind.. I started walking up those hills of GOLGOTHA. Let me tell you....EVEN IF THE DAY IS HECTIC FOR YOU,ON UR WAY BACK HOME EVERY DAY...Walk to Golgotha with ChristALL YOUR BURDEN WILL SEEM TO BE SO LIGHT...IN YOUR TIREDNESS HIS STRENGTH WILL BE MADE PERFECT

Yes on that way..He was not walking without any burden.when i looked more closely..AS I CARRIED THAT CROSS OF HIS..He was carrying my sins,my sorrows,my sickness,my iniquities,my transgressions.I will never forget that way....will never drop that CROSS...because He WAS and Is CARRYING ME close to HIS HEART!!!

Carmel crusade..at HIS WORD

The prophets of baal did all that they can.They bruised their bodies,called out aloud

"they called on the name of Baal from morning till noon. "O Baal, answer us!" they shouted. But there was no response; no one answered. And they danced around the altar they had made.
So they shouted louder and slashed themselves with swords and spears, as was their custom, until their blood flowed. Midday passed, and they continued their frantic prophesying until the time for the evening sacrifice. But there was no response, no one answered, no one paid attention."

It was Elijah's turn next.He was so ordered.he didnt go crazy,was very calm.He was doing everything in order,No confusion,no doubts.....He rebuilt the altar,took 12 stones,didnt become too modern that HE FORGOT HIS FATHERS and their footsteps.
OUR DOCTRIMES SHOULD NOT BE UPDATED AS TIME PASS BY!!
He built an altar in the name of the LORD.We often do it in our NAMES!!!He then dug a trench to contain water.HE DID IT HIMSELF.Do we compromise there,we want someone else to dig US UP...Psalmist did that himself in Psalm 51.Set the wood in order.....

36 At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: "O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. 37 Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, O LORD, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again."
Prayer always causes you to come one step FORWARD.Understand that each time we pray,we come forward.He did all these things at HIS WORD.Yes His word should cause us to do things in order,with a divine calmness and strength and then when we pray the LORD WILL ANSWER BY FIRE.

Lets learn from ELIJAH,do everything at HIS WORD TO MAKE THE WORLD TO SEE THE LORD thru us.

Wrong calculations;-(

The house was brighter than ever,guests pouring in from all over the land.People coming there,exchanging pleasantries all together a wonderful atmosphere.The man had also invited Jesus and his disciples for the wedding party.Mary,the mother of Jesus was also there.She knew something which was a bad news altogether.Something has happened and the wine was over.The calculations were wrong.

Many a time we calculate or plan many things,but we only find shortages....i t breaks our heart..specially because many eyes are on us..People are coming expectantly....FRIEND CALCULATIONS WILL FAIL YOU BUT JESUS WILL NEVER FAIL YOU.I imagine,there was a panic all around....similar to our body...when something bad occurs..our head aches,body shivers,mind is in unrest.sweat and tear glands..gets activated more..... A panic..

only one person was "cool"..IT WAS MARY...she came and said the matter to Jesusthough the answer was a bit discouragin..she knew and thus she said to the servants.."DO WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU"Dont apply logic,your understanding....just obey HIM!!Only a mind stayed on Him can be peaceful like that!!

We have certain limitations as we pray too...but He never stops working!!!He is always working for you and meWhen the eys of the world was around lookin for wine.....(something they did not have),the master's eyes fell on 6large stone jars kept there.He was looking for some open space where he can fil with water.When we are ready and available he will fill us with His Holy Ghost UPTo the brimand miracles will happen...

The water turned into wine...the sorrows turned to joy....the latter wine became sweeter...When our calculations go wrong,when our being panics..do u have some areas very available for Him...for Him to fill you with,faith,love,hope?"NOT BY POWER,NOT BY MIGHT,BUT BY MY SPIRIT SAYS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY"

WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE??

Another new day has come..

He could see new faces around,some crippled,blind..some of His old friends also were there.I feel He was the supersenior of all with regard to an infirmity and waiting at the pool of bethesda.His eyes as usually went to the pool....anytime the angel can come and stir up the pond and who gets down first gets healed.Forget being first..this man I feel has hardly seen the angel,such was the crowd in that poolof bethesda,people rejected by doctors...hoped to get down in that pond after the angel had stirred up the water.In biblical terms

3In these lay a great multitude of invalid folk -- blind, halt, withered -- waiting for the moving of the water.
4For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool and troubled the water. Whosoever then first stepped in, after the troubling of the water, was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

He also looked for any other person who could help him out...someone who smiled at him..this man must have asked..COULD YOU Please help me to get down that pool when the angel stirs the water.The smile in those faces definitely had vanished by now..Noone there to help Him...see wat He says to anyone who comes there

Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me."

When there is noone to help you..you always give a TRY..but the results are always hard to digest..
This day He heard a gentle voice..."WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE??"...He,I feel,didnt give heed to even look at that person,because the angel ,the friends he was looking for NEVER LOOKED BACK AT HIM....
He said the old story again...incorrect answers for the question asked..the question is "Wilt thou be made whole??"answer is"Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool; but while am coming, another steppeth down before me."That sweet voice this time turned its pitch...It became a sort of command..
"Rise, take up thy bed, and walk."

9And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked...

Situation changed..something struck His life...each word...added power to His weak body!!He sprang up..he needed noone to help Him..For the first time in 38 years He walked and that too taking that BED..

Friend..we also face problems..lingering for ages..and we look for an angel...or a man of God..for the stirring of the pool like we expect in big crusades and campaigns..we also want others to help us out..everything in waste...

This day dont miss that sound..of JESUS CHRIST who can TURN YOUR LIFE..circumstances...isnt it so true..we dont expect much from the LORD When we spend tme personally with HIm..in our morning prayers,family prayers??

We always want "AN ANGEL" to come..someone to prophecy,someone to lay hands for soemthing great to happen...WRONG..He is beside you..The all important one
HE ORDERS YOU.."Rise, take up thy bed, and walk."..DOnt look for campaigns and crusades(ofcourse things happen there)..It can happen in those moments where u get up from ur bed and call His name.It can happen when you close your eyes and thank God before you have your food..It can happen as u ride ur vehiclE!!IT CAN HAPPEN NOW...if you hear those words from HIM"WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE??MAKE USE OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY YOU GET TO TALK TO UR CREATOR....EVERY MOMENT SHOULD BE SERIOUS,EXPECTING,ATTEMPTING...

WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE??RISE TAKE THY BED AND WALK.....

"He touched me, O, He touched me,
And O, the joy that floods my soul.Something happened,
and now I know,He touched me
and made me whole."

SAY TO URSELF;-)

The bible doesnt tell us about her name.But this lady am talking to you ...had a very cruel disease for 12 long years.She went to many doctors....as the scriptures say
"who had spent all her living upon physicians but could not be healed by any,"
We too have problems facing us for days and years..emotional problems like loneliness,anger,identity crisis and we too go to many doctors.Some go to Dr.Drugs..others got to Dr.Movies...see some other worldly doctors..Dr.Meditation,Dr.pilgrimage...Dr.Secular Music,Dr.Smoking,Dr Novels......all these doctors will only take your livelihood and will only make ur condition worse.

But she never gave up.She heard that Jesus is coming that way.She must have heard that when Jesus touched people they were healed...It was always the Master stooping out for a miracle.It was when Jesus touched...one touch...things were happening.She decided to do something different.She,I feel,didnt have a loud voice like Barthimaeus that could stop Jesus.She didnt have any authority that Jesus could stop and place His hand....Yes friend we may also say the same thing...BUT DO NOT GIVE UP...she didnt complain abt God who never healed her..she said to herself"If I may touch but His clothes, I shall be whole." what you say to urself matters..She said to herself..Friend now say that to yourself...I dont want to grab hold of Jesus..i dont want to complain..I just want to touch..a soft touch..only my finger should know that.

When she had heard of Jesus, came up behind Him in the press of the crowd and touched His garment.Now reaching Jesus was not easy.She with all her pain,that disease...went past that large crowd..even the inner ring of Peter,James and John....went past all those with pain and that moment came..YES SHE TOUCHED HIM!!!That finger...touched the garment of Jesus.Her focus was correct.No distractions of the world attracted her.Her focus was on Christ..and she made it.For a miracle..for touching him...your focus should be right.The Bible adds on

And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
When you touch Jesus...you feel it.No doubts abt that..Miracles happen straightaway..new peace,happiness,joy,love floods you...Now she wanted to be unnoticed,but Christ stopped there,blessed her.The master always acknowledges a needy,sacrificial touch,a drop of tear,an offering made out of nothing, a song of praise in the darkest hour.He acknowledges that and thats wat touches him.Now wat made the difference here is that moment when the woman said to herself"If only I touch Him"..are u like this..facing problems,worries,depression,disease..and that too for a long time...SAY TO URSELF"If only I touch Him"...then make your way...passing the crowd and angels of heaven and touch Him....Straightaway things will happen.Its happening rite now as you say to yourself and make those steps to touch HIM


Rise n be healed
in the name of Jesus
Just let faith rise in ur soul
rise n be healed in the name of Jesus
He will touch you and make you whole

The Way of the little lonely MAN!!

..he was the chief of taxcollectors,very rich person.He was hated by almost all people as he used to collect heavy taxes,but as every man at one or the other time feel.....HE was lonely!!Remember God doesnt want you to be lonely.It was the first issue that God dealt with regard to Adam.Right,about this man we are talking about,he was also short in size!!

That day, he heard that Jesus had come to his own city.He wanted to meet him ...It was His desire,to meet him.Short man,hated by all...but that man had a soul as every one has to meet its creator..yes friend...that soul that makes you "you"..Its its desire...It cannot be satisfied by movies,friends,parents,money,honey....Allow your soul to meet its creator,as Zaccheaus wanted.he forgot who he was,everything else became null when that deep desire came in His mind.

He had some problems in meeting Jesus.He was short and also the crowd was too much.Yes,this is the problem man faces when wanting to meet the creator.We have a lot of doubts in front of us...questions like nothing else when we go to our creator.It just springs up from nowhere preventing us from meetin our creator...No Zaccheaus didnt succumb,he didnt give up..He ran ahead of Jesus...

He knew the way in which the master was goin to travel...Yes He took that road of faith,holiness.....thru which Jesus comes...He ran ahead and took steps to climb upon a sycamore tree.He didnt wait for His friends..family.He did it himself..Jesus didnt disappoint him..The Lord came that way...stopped rite beneath him and asked him o come down "with haste"!!
Once you meet Christ,things happen quickly!!Zacchaeus came down 'with haste" from the hatred he faced,from the loneliness he had,what a transformation,what joy in the SOUL!!never did zacchaeus experience such joy!!Money,fame nothing gave him that...ONLY JESUS COULD DO THAT
If ur desire is to meet Jesus,His desire is to stay with you.One night with Jesus Christ...changed his broken,lonely life..The life that longed for more fame,money...changed to the life that gives!!The way Jesus came,was the way Zacchaeus took that made a way that changed the way of life of Zacchaues......Have you known the way through which Christ comes....Let ur steps be in the right road thru which He comes and stays with you.

isaacs.. watch out!!

That day Isaac was woke up very early.Usually it was Sarah,His mom who used to wake him up,as it is in most families.No when he looked around he could see his mom sleeping(i guess..).His dad asked him to come out silently.Abraham dressed up his only son...all happened very quickly,saddled the donkey with the requirements they needed,maybe food,water and even some firewood ,as the way to MORIAH was long.Many a time we also feel the gentle pat of our heavenly father,at nights,early in the morning,..!!..he prepares us and takes us to the PLACE He has in mind...

They came to the place of Moriah and Abraham saw that mountain and showed it to Isaac and he also did something.He left the servants and the donkeys there..
See wat the scripture says"Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife.

Worship is the time where we leave out somethings we carry..and carry the LOAD the Father places on our BACKS(in our hearts!!) .

Isaac walked with his dad,the scripture says.."As the two of them went on together"not one step back..nor one step front..WORSHIP causes you to walk with your heavenly father togetherand carry the burden He places on you.

Are you carrying a burden which the father has placed on you and are you wondering ,Who will provide your need...JEhovah Jireh..

They reached the place,abraham built an altar,removed that wood,Isaac was carrying,tied Isaac and placed Him over the wood arranged properly!!Isaac didnt speak anything...He was not offended,He said in His heart "I want to be obedient to you dady..Burn me up with the burden I carried!!I am ready"..No,Isaac..you will not be burn with that..YOUR attitude is what matters.Read Rom 12:1-2..
A ram was placed over the burden Isaac carried and the sacrifice was OVER!!Let it burn,that burden imposed by your dad,that vision,that subject to pray about, placed in your heart...Let Christ be over that..BUT lets be faithful load bearers and May Christ take control !!YOU WILL NEVER BE BURNT UPON THE BURDENS YOU CARRY PLACED ON YOU HEART BY YOUR FATHER!!The burdens will burn with Christ over it and you would sing about HIS provision.JE HOVAH-JIREH!!
isaacs who carry the load laid by the FATHER..watch out "JEHOVAH-JIREH"!!

YOUR SLAVE GIRL??

Paul and Silas were on their way to the PLACE OF PRAYER.Wow what moments those were.Getting up from their magnetic beds,passing through the ATTRACTIVE streets..What joy,but they had to struggle I feel as we all do to get to the PLACE OF PRAYER.Paul and Silas have gone many times through those streets,to buy vegetables or to see some friends,but ONLY when they went to the Place of prayer they confronted a slave girl,a witch,a fortune-teller possesed by the Spirit of divination.

She told the truth"These men are the servants of the Most High God...!!"nothing wrong in that statement.Paul and Silas ofcourse were servants of the Most high God

Yes, there is nothing wrong in seeing a movie,there is nothing wrong in watching news,there is nothing wrong in....yup every thing is right...but they meet you only when you make those steps to the Place of prayer~~.Friend,let there be nothing "right" if it comes between you and the place of prayer.Paul cast out the demon from the slave girl!!

Will u succumb to that slave girl ,on those streets, where you walk towards the place of prayer??

LET THAT SLAVE GIRL BE OUT OF THAT STREET!!let that happen now,this moment,use your authority and ask God for His grace ,his strength to reach that sacred place..that place where the Lord pats on your shoulder,carries your burden,wipes your tear..where much more happens than what happens around you!!

Mr PAIN!!

I dont know whether you have heard of Mr Pain.The Bible also tells us only two verses about Mr Pain.His history is this...his mom bore him in pain like any other,the surprising fact is that the mom was very inclined to name him PAIN.If u hear his friends talking to him,one statement mite be"ey good morning Pain!!"While gossiping they mite say"there comes PAIN!!"..wat a life!!All around him he hears Pain!!
The holy scriptures does not stop there..Mr Pain decided one day to CALL on the name of YAHWEH(the God of Israel!!).HE didnt feel that God was around him while he was surrounded only by PAIN in every way,but in midst of that He, like we taking the phone and calling our friend,though not near us,lifted up His hands and voice and called on YAHWEH!!This is what he prayed
"Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain."..the verse goes on.."And God granted his request". The verse in 1chronicles 4..starts with one more truth!!

Jabez was more honorable than his brothers ...

I dont want to call Jabez(Mr.Pain) like that any more..but MR GAIN!!
are u surrounded by pain...ur pain can be a gain if u call NOW the name of JESUS CHRIST..Wow wat a powerful name..!!U mite not feel Him around you..but call on HIM!!

Call on Him...Let him change our PAIN to GAIN!!Don Moen sang...Wud u sing with him??Be MR GAIN!!
"I will sing,i will praise
even in my darkest hour thru the sorrow and the Pain
I will sing,I will praise
Lift my hands to honor you
Because your word is true
I will sing"

Jochebed!!!

Amram and Jochebed were so happy seeing the goodly child God gave them..They didn't even have time to name the child...The order in the land by Pharoah was to kill every male child..by drowning them in the River Nile..3months passed by..Jochebed couldn't contain it anymore..The neighbours may leak the news as their children must also have been a prey to pharoah's cruel order.The safest place she saw was Nile.If you look at Nile you can see many dead bodies of new born baby boys floating.Jochebed..she must have understood that.What else to do....She had tears just as every mama had!!

No one thing she did..

she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.Nile is a safe place if the BABY is in that basket coated with tar and pitch.Dead bodies may be around..fear may grip,but the Baby will be safe in that basket Jochebed made..its that basket which the Pharaoh's daughter saw!!She must have seen many other babies..but the baby in the basket was special.

What is that issue the devil has targeted in your life..that goodly thing..Is it your education,or your job, your family,your finance..

Then come on be a jochebed,place that issue in that basket of prayers coated with the word of God and the blessed Spirit.GOD is faithful to bring up a MOSES in the very place the enemy issued an order to kill you..

"have we trials and temptations
is there trouble anywhere
we should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer"

IS IT TOO LATE??

Mary and Martha asked their best friend to come urgently to their house...they have heard the saying,i guess,"a friend in need is a friend indeed"..

people also didnt worry much as they all knew this "intimate" relationship the man called Jesus had with this family.They all knew the Jesus who healed people..who gave hope and happiness to many..Now Lazarus is in the death bed and they expected the Lord to come,place His hands over lazarus and heal him...No,the messenger who gave the news to Jesus came back the same day..

Jesus didnt turn up..All of them atleast thought Jesus would be the "chief guest" in the funeral..No He didn't turn up..After 4 days the bethany sisters heard that Jesus is coming..Martha ran with complaints and thoughts she had.."if you were here.."After some minutes Mary who sat at the Master's feet,ifeel,for the first time reached a consensus with her Sister and repeated"Lord If you were here"..

But Jesus wept..(the shortest verse,but reverberates in POWER)..They took him to the grave..he asked them to roll the stone and We read,JESUS cried with a LOUD VOICE.."Lazarus,come out"..

The More you wait..the louder Jesus will shout,the mightier will be the miracle,the more will be His glory..ASk Sarah,Peter...everyone..They will shout bac to you

ITS NEVER TOO LATE FOR THE LORD!!
What is that issue where you have told the Lord and waiting for long..??Understand its never too late for Him to reveal His glory in that issue.

IS IT TOO LATE??
