GOD KNOWS THAT VERY THING YOU THINK YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT IS THE VERY THING THAT WILL KILL YOU.KILL YOUR JOY,KILL THE POSSIBILITIES FOR AN INCREDIBLE LIFE.TRUST GOD WITH THE SEASONS OF YOUR LIFE.EMBRACE EACH SEASON WITH JOY, IN THE FULL CONFIDENCE THAT GOD KNOWS WHATS BEST FOR YOUR LIFE TODAY,TOMORROW,AND FOVEVER……..IF EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT COMES FROM ABOVE,YOU MUST BELIEVE THAT WHAT YOU DESIRED WAS GOOD AND PERFECT FOR YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW.GOD WILL MAKE SURE YOU  HAVE IT.WHAT LOOKS GOOD TO YOU ISN’T ALWAYS GOOD FOR YOU, OH BUT WHEN IT IS ,IT WILL BE YOURS FOR THE ASKING.DON’T LOOK BACK IN YOUR PAST RELATIONSHIPS LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR FUTURE ,LOOKING BACK CAN BE A BIG MISTAKE.ONE MISTAKE CAN RUIN THE BLESSING THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU THE BLESSING THAT HAD YOUR NAME ON IT.REMEMBER YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE THEREFORE GIVE LOVE AND PLENTY OF IT.LOVE IS NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN GET,ITS ABOUT WHAT YOU GIVE THEREFORE LOVE IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE IF YOU TRULY WANT IT————–BE BLESS

MY SOUL YEARNS FOR YOU( O LORD) IN THE NIGHT,YES MY SPIRIT WITHIN ME SEEKS YOU EARNESTLY.(ISAIAH 26:9)——-NOTHING CAN SATISFY YOUR LONGING FOR GOD EXCEPT COMMUNION AND FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM. THE APOSTLE JOHN WROTE, “AND THE WORLD PASSES AWAY AND DISAPPEARS,AND WITH IT THE FORBIDDEN CRAVINGS(THE PASSIONATE DESIRES , THE LUST) OF IT ,BUT HE WHO DOSE THE WILL OF GOD AND CARRIES OUT HIS PURPOSE IN HIS LIFE ABIDES(REMAINS) FOREVER” (1JOHN2:17).  THE WORLD MAKES IT EASY FOR YOU TO FILL YOUR EARS WITH ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT DROWN OUT THE VOICE OF GOD AND PUSH HIM FAR INTO THE BACKGROUND OF YOUR LIFE.HOWEVER,THE DAY WILL COME FOR EVERY PERSON WHEN ONLY GOD REMAINS. EVERYTHING ELSE IN LIFE EVENTUALLY PASSES AWAY; WHEN IT DOSE, GOD WILL STILL BE THERE. SEEK GOD EARNESTLY AND HE WILL ABIDE IN YOU.

BUT BE DOERS OF THE WORD (OBEY THE MESSAGE), AND  NOT MERELY LISTENERS TO IT, BETRAYING YOURSELVES (INTO DECEPTION BY REASONING CONTRATY TO THE TRUTH). (JAMES 1:22)———-ANYTIME YOU SEE WHAT THE WORD SAYS AND REFUSE TO DO IT, REASONING HAS SOMEHOW GOTTEN INVOLVED AND DECEIVED YOU INTO BELIEVING SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE TRUTH. THERE MAY BE TIMES WHEN YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THE WORD SAYS, BUT YOU SHOULD MOVE AHEAD AND DO IT. GOD WANTS YOU TO OBEY HIM WHETHER YOU FEEL LIKE IT OR NOT. WHEN GOD SPEAKS, WE ARE NOT TO QUESTION HIS METHODS.  HIS WAYS ARE NOT OUR WAYS.—-PROVERBS 3:5 SAYS LEAN ON, TRUST IN, AND BE CONFIDENT IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND MIND AND DO NOT RELY ON YOUR OWN INSIGHT OR UNDERSTANDING.”  IN OTHER WORDS,DONT RELY ON REASON OR LOGIC. WHEN GOD SPEAKS, WE ARE TO MOBILIZE,NOT RATIONALIZE.——BE BLESS

IF WE EVER STOP TO LIST ALL THE MIGHTY ACTS AND MIRACLES IN THE BIBLE, WE WOULD BE ASTOUNDED.THEY COVER EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE.THE MORE WE THINK ABOUT WHAT GOD HAS DONE,THE MORE WE CAN APPRECIATE THE MIRACLES HE HAS DONE FOR US INDIVIDUALLY–BIRTH, PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT,LOVING FRIENDS AND FAMILY,SPECIFIC GUIDANCE,HEALING,SALVATION–THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN A MIRACLE,LOOK CLOSER–YOU WILL SEE GOD’S POWER AND LOVING INTERVENTION ON YOUR BEHALF.GOD STILL PERFORMS GREAT MIRACLES!——-BE BLESS

Have you ever pondered on how spiritually fit or mature you are? The bible gives us indicators of how we ought to live as Christians. But somewhere down the line, we get confused on what it means to mature in Christ or be spiritually fit.

Perhaps you are one of those who believe that because you attend church is evidence of your maturity or an indicator of your spiritual development. But this is simply not so. It’s like saying that because you go to your local gym means you will have a svelte, toned and fit body even though all you do there is catch up with friends, sit in the sauna and just goof around without actually doing any tangible exercises. And even if you do some exercise, it may not get you to your desired goal.

Please hear me, I believe church plays a vital role in our Christian development. (more…)

Greg Laurie, Steven Curtis Chapman Host Night of ‘Raw Honesty’
By Lillian Kwon|Christian Post Reporter
E-mail
It was an evening of hope as two well-known Christians expressed their trust in the Lord even as their hearts were broken over the unexpected loss of their children.

Chapman Family Marks 1st Anniversary of Daughter’s Death
Evangelist Greg Laurie Reflects on Son’s Death, One Year Later
Singer/songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman and evangelist Greg Laurie shared the same stage on Sunday at Harvest Christian Fellowship in southern California to relate their tragic stories and ultimately give hope to thousands.

“I thought we ought to have an evening of encouragement for others who are hurting,” Laurie said. “I found that there’s a pretty big audience, so to speak, of people who are suffering.”

In the summer of 2008, Laurie lost his 33-year-old son, Christopher, in a car accident.

Just a couple of months prior to that, Chapman lost his 5-year-old adopted daughter, Marie Sue, in a car accident as well.

It was the most devastating day for both. Their lives were turned upside down and they asked questions as they tried to make sense of it all. (more…)

FIVE DAYS CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Don’t miss it!

IN ALL YOUR WAYS KNOW, RECOGNIZE,AND ACKNOLEDGE HIM,AND HE WILL DIRECT AND MAKE STRAIGHT AND PLAIN YOUR PATHS.——-PROVERBS ( 3:6)———ACKNOWLEDGING THE LORD IN ALL YOUR WAYS MEANS SUBMITTING ALL YOUR PLANS TO HIM AND ALLOWING HIM TO WORK THEM OUT ACCORDING TON HIS WILL AND DESIRE FOR YOU.HE WANTS YOU TO COME TO KNOW HIM IN THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION—-(PHILIPPIANS 3:10)——–IT IS A SIGN OF MATURITY TO SEEK GOD FOR WHO HE IS AND NOT ONLY FOR WHAT HE CAN DO FOR YOU. SO AS YOU PAUSE AT THE END OF YOUR DAY,SEEK GOD’S FACE(HIS PRESENCE) AND GET TO KNOW YOUR WONDERFUL,LOVING  HEAVENLY FATHER BETTER. ACKNOWLEDGE HIS POWER AND EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF WALKING IN THE PATH HE CHOOSES FOR YOU.——-BE BLESS

FOR THOSE WHOM HE FOREKNEW……….HE ALSO DESTINED FROM THE BEGINNING….TO BE MOLDED INTO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON AND SHARE INWARDLY HIS LIKENESS.(ROMANS 8:29)      OUR GOAL AS A CHRISTIAN IS  TO BECOME CHRISTLIKE.THE BIBLE SAYS WE  ARE AMBASSADORS  OF CHRIST AND THAT HE PERSONALLY MAKES HIS APPEAL TO THE WORLD THROUGH US.THE ONLY WAY WE CAN EVER PROPERLY REPRESENT JESUS TO THE  WORLD IS TO LET HIS CHARACTER SHOW THROUGH OUR ATTITUDES AND ACTIONS. THIS CAN ONLY HAPPEN THROUGH DIVINE TRANSFORMATION, AND THATS EXACTLY WHAT GOD HAD IN MIND FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME. GOD PREDESTINED US TO BE MOLDED INTO HIS IMAGE .IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, WE  ARE THE CLAY AND HE IS THE POTTER, AND  WE MUST NEVER FORGET THAT —-HE MOLDS US INTO A VESSEL THAT HE CAN USE TO CHANGE MANY LIVES———BE BLESS
