An Eagle Or A Sparrow?

God wants you to mount up like the eagle, enjoying the storm, riding over the thunderheads. Stay above the troubles in life; don’t let them pull you down. Troubles can pile on top of you with such weigh that you no longer are able to do the will of God, to pray, read the Word or to journey on; all joy in the Lord has gone. It’s time to mount up, time to ride those storms instead of letting the storms ride you. Are you so tired, weary and devoid of peace that you feel you cannot go on with God. Never let the storms of life beat you into the ground, keeping you from looking up to heaven. Mount ever upward, higher and higher into the grace and love of God, into His faith, goodness, righteousness and into the power of the Holy Ghost. Feel God’s strength taking you closer to Him over the trials and troubles of life as the boiling storm rolls on underneath. Every storm has a force and a power to be used for destruction or be harnessed for gain. The eagle harnesses it to lift and bear him up until he reaches the place where there is no longer a need to struggle. He just spread his wings as the wind keeps him aloft, as he mounts higher and higher. Isn’t that better than the little sparrow with his beak stuck in the mud of the valley, scared to death of the crashing thunder and wicked lightning? The Holy spirit will help you to be the eagle Christian if you give yourself over to Him. The hour has come that the Lord is calling all who will answer to become eagle Christians. No one is left out, not even the weak; it all depends on what you want to be in this final hour. An eagle or a sparrow?

Troubles

Sometimes we are falling short in our prayer life, feeling out of place and uncertain of what to say, not uplifted in the prayer chamber because we have not been speaking to ourselves. Everyone talks to himself, if the words are not of faith they’re of doubt. Words can be filled with happiness and encouragement or unhappiness and discouragement. How do we talk to ourselves? The conversation, the ideas that pass between the “faith you” and the "feeling you” are important. Which one out-talks the other. Do you turn your troubles over and over in your mind, dragging up all the slights both large and small that have ever come your way? If so, you are sinking your own boat. Rid ourselves of weighs that sink, cast down and cause depression, let’s not keep them on our minds nor open the door for them. The statement ” you don’t know what a hard time i have” is the biggest stone of all, it will take us right to muddy bottom.

No one has it easy in these days. Learn to enjoy the little things in life and to discount your troubles. Do not keep suffering over things for which Christ has already paid. What He has paid for; we are free to use.

Sin

Sin cannot enter heaven. If you cannot live free from sin, how can the Lord present you faultless before the Father? It can't be done. To walk the Love Road you must be free from all sin, and you can do that by walking into righteousness and holiness just as Jesus walked when He was here on earth. If you do not have enough of God's love yet, if you have not found enough of Him to satisfy you, to convince you that you can walk, talk and be like Him, then seek Him in greater way. He is able to keep you from falling, to keep you from drifting back into sin if you want to stay out of it. Walk in the light, not fulfilling the lust of the flesh. Keep victory over the flesh; keep your body holy by the power of the Holy Ghost. What you serve the inner man either keeps you clean and holy or else defiles you. You can not commit sin and still remain pure in spirit. You cannot obey the lust of the flesh and be a part of God. Sin that takes over the mortal body destroys the inner man. Yield not to unrighteousness, but yield yourself unto God as one alive from the dead. Yield to God with joy and gratitude; yield with every part of your being. Yield the member of your body as instruments of righteousness. it's a valuable life that is really born new, free from all sin. That life has impact. Anyone made new through the blood of Christ  in a miraculous person in the eyes of God, miraculous because God has made him clean. Salvation is God's miracle; man can not save himself. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law, but under grace. The soul who sins is the one who will die. Saying that none can live free from sin in this present world is calling God a liar. Do you think anyone could be saved and still call God a liar? Think about it...

Sex

Sex was meant to be holy. Only through man’s eyes and man’s actions has it become degraded, an object of laughter and amusement. How disgusting when parents evade with nervous embarrassment the perfectly frank, honest questions about sex their children ask. Those questions deserve equally frank answers, and when they are not forthcoming, the child becomes confused. Many have gotten into trouble because they did not know the truth. Only by knowing the truth are people able to recognize the falsehoods. Teach the child that sex is something to be discussed in the privacy of the family, not information to be broadcast to everyone within earshot. Side-stepping your children questions will cause them to look elsewhere for the answers.

People close their eyes to the judgment of God and then claim they can sin and still go to heaven. Death is pronounced upon adulterers. Couples separate over nothing and then marry someone else. Many today commit adultery and have no conscience about it. ” Whosoever shall put his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery and whoso marry her which is put away do commit adultery”. Adultery, the first work of the flesh, refers to a married person having sexual intercourse outside of his or her own marriage. One cannot walk in the flesh, fulfilling the lust of the flesh, and walk in the Spirit too. Fornication is any unlawful sexual intercourse, and this includes shacking-up and common-law marriages. The Lord said you take pleasure in sin, you have no part in His Kingdom. Having intercourse without first being joined together by God is a sin. God gave you a mouth and backbone and if you use both in the right way, you will please the Lord.

Today people laugh about someone being a virgin, but to be clean before God is a fearful thing. God helps us to stand holy in His presence, to know what we are in His eyes.

Sweet Or Sour?

Joy is something that can be used to bless you or can be kept in reserve for security. Use the joy in your life; draw on it by counting your blessings. Use that peace God produces, the devine peace of God that He brings to you through the Holy Spirit in your life. Frustrations and troubles can be your constant companions unless you use God’s divine peace in your life. Stop rehashing old problems. Looking at the world, seeing the chaos that grips it, give you little room for peace. Separate the things in your life that you can handle yourself from those things that are for the Lord to work out.
If you are short of patience, stop yielding to your own spirit and begin yielding to the Holy Spirit. Your spirit can produce good, bad, fair, scrubby or sour fruit. Do you like crab apples? You see others enjoying those good apples and wish you could have them too, you long for the joy that you see in others, not realizing that you already have it but have not used it. God has produce large juicy delicious apples that could just melt in your mouth. God brought joy into our lives but if we will not allow them to work for us, we are eating sour fruits. GOD BLESS EVERYONE!

Are Not You Tired?

Aren't you tired of being on muddy bottom? Don't you want to be free of depression, oppression, despair, fear and doubt. Aren't you tired of not being happy when God definitely states that the joy of the Lord is your strength. Aren't you tired of not enjoying the blessings of God? Aren't you tired of grieving the Holy Spirit? Aren't you tired of making the Holy Spirit wait to get to you to the top just to give you a little bit of vision? Get tired of the muddy bottom. Fear will come for the moment, but don't let it stay. It has to go if you don't entertain it, don't carry it. Carry the love of God in your heart, the things of God only. Carry the fire of the Holy Ghost, not the fire of destruction from the enemy, not the fires of sin. The things of life on muddy bottom are not for us to worry about. Jesus came to change the waters of life for the human race. Sweet waters were all that man was ever to have tasted, nothing less, no bitterness in the water ever. But when he sinned, a man put bitterness in his own water, destroyed his own water, the water of life. The power of the mantle changes life because it has all the strength you need to always bring the axe head from the muddy bottom. The power of the mantle is the only way you're going to raise things out of the muddy bottom of life, the only way to get that axe head swimming. Know that the iron will swim, clearing the waters for you, and you'll be able to see in faith. Some days it will seem as though you can see all the way to the throne of God, to rapture day, to the hour we will reap the final harvest throughout the whole earth. Treasure the water of life that gushes forth from your innermost being. Mount up with wings like the eagle. Then you'll rise above the storms, above the muddy waters, riding out the storm on wings of love, grace, trust and confidence.

Remember Who You Are

Ask the Lord where your weaknesses are, what is wrong with your life; but make sure you are ready to hear the answer. God will give you nothing but the truth. Don't make emotionally unbalanced people who turn against the power of God alarm you. Hold on to God, the real thing. Dig the sand out of your foundation and be not easily shaken. Serve God, live for Him and know the truth. Never allow yourself to be in the position of compromising with God. Salvation is something that even though it may not always be felt, day after day it keeps people from sinning. At times you may walk in the valley for miles without feeling your salvation; the Bible didn't promise we would always feel saved; the Bible said, we would live and live by faith, not by feelings. Without faith you cannot please God. The Holy Spirit does not hold unknowing sin against you, but the Holy Spirit will move upon you to let you know when your actions are wrong. Fear not! Let not your heart be troubled or afraid. Do not allow the enemy to fool you or puff you up. The enemy tried to deceive Christ; you know he will try to deceive you, he can fool those who are strong in the Lord into believing they are worth nothing and getting nowhere in their prayer life. Remember, each sincere prayer is asking, not for your will but for the will of the Father to be done. The Lord did hear your prayer, but He is working it out according to His own will because that is your desire. Leave it in His hands. The enemy will make you believe you are nothing, but when you are saved, you are a Child of the King, born of the Spirit of God, don't you ever forget that!

Salvation

 

For this is what the Lord says: “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, who choose what pleases me and hold fast to my covenant— to them I will give within my temple and its walls a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that will endure forever. And foreigners who bind themselves to the Lord to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord, and to be His servants, all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it and who hold fast to My covenant— these I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations." The Sovereign Lord declares— he who gathers the exiles of Israel: “I will gather still others to them besides those already gathered.”

Adultery

 

You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

Depression

 

He was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and like one from whom men hide their face. He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried; yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

My Best Friend

 

Happy and Blessed Birthday my best friend! 

I fear that I won't have the words that he needs to hear
I pray for Your wisdom, oh God, and a heart that's sincere
Lord, I lift my friend up to You

Lord, I lift my friend to You
My best friend in the world, I know he means much more to You
I want so much to help him, but this is something he has to do
And Lord, I lift my friend up to You

Anxiety

 

 For you have made the Lord, my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place.
No evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your tent.
For He will give His angels charge concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.

Discipline

 

He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.

Love

 

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind m. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Take Courage

 

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of may also revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that His life may be revealed in our mortal body.

Freedom

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.

I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for Him, and my hope is in His Word.

Happy Birthday Dholly

Two weeks ago, I was about to fall asleep when I received a phone call, the person on the other line was singing me a birthday song. It didn't cross my mind that it was Dholly, since she left me a birthday note on my email. Her name didn't appear on the screen but I knew it's an overseas call. I had to listen carefully to recognize the voice, then she was laughing. She called me to ask how am I and the other friends, her voice sounded so happy. She got a new job, and it's a job that she wants! NYYahahaha! ;) After that I knew what photo I should be displaying today, I thought of a B&W but I guess this one is more suitable for the event. My memory is not that good but I'm sure that we only had three hours of sleep after this pictorial. Happy Birthday best friend, I love you! God Bless... :)
