Pray Until Something Happens: P.U.S.H

Prayer is WORSHIP ! Lack of PRAYER IS A SIN!

The importance of PRAYER is evident even in the Heavens! Please go through the verses that substantiate this claim! Its one big thing that we can't be without................. Aliving Christian CANNOT BE WITHOUT THIS OXYGEN CALLED PRAYER

And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, WHICH ARE THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS. (Revelation 5:8)

Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, WITH THE PRAYERS OF ALL THE SAINTS, on the golden altar before the throne. (Revelation 8:3)

Prayer of Saints is a sweet AROMA before God and hence even the Angels have to Worship God only with the PRAYERS OF SAINTS!

As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you. (I Samuel 12:23)

Failing to PRAY for others is regarded as a SIN!

Pray continually (I Thessalonians 5:17)

Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. (Matthew 26:41)

If we pray we won't fall into TEMPTATION!

When your purse is empty, PRAISE THE LORD!

Let God be magnified. (Psalm 70:4)

After being taxed heavily, when its time for us to give our salary to the government...........that too after a month which drew away the last bit of balance in the form of a sudden sickness/accident/damage.............its cruel.

The world may see your well creased clothes/jewel/watch/car/and those few ATM cards (both having ZERO balance...hehehe) and think oh my what a wealthy person you are!
I was thinking, what I should do at this stage.......of some alternate resource!

Then the WORD came flashing across my mind's eye!

The LORD sends poverty and wealth;he humbles and he exalts. (I Samuel 2:7)

I form the light and create darkness,I bring prosperity and create disaster;I, the LORD, do all these things. (Isaiah 45:7)

Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come? (Lamentations 3:38)

Oh,oh......so its You LORD, who has sent this emptiness too.......................ok! What should I do now?

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. (Philippians 4:12)

Then.................

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD,I will be joyful in God my Savior.
(Habakkuk 3:17,18)

Read the above verse like Though the Salary doesn't come and there is no Balance in the Bank ATM, though the Credit card is swiped fully and there are no returns in stock market trading, though there is no friend to help you and the BILL Payments are near...............

YET I WILL REJOICE IN THE LORD, I WILL BE JOYFUL IN GOD MY SAVIOR!

GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. (I Thessalonians 5:18)

NOW I KNOW THAT I SHOULD PRAISE AND THANK THE LORD EVEN IN EMPTINESS!

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)

All your NEEDS supplied by the WORD!

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.II Peter 1:3

My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all ... things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:32

All things are your's: whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and ye are Christ's and Christ is God's. I Corinthians 3:21-23

As having nothing, and yet possessing all things. II Corinthians 6:10

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23:1

The LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Psalm 84:11

The living God.... giveth us richly all things to enjoy. I Timothy 6:17

God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. II Corinthians 9:8

Fear not;See what God is going to do for you!

"But you, O Israel, my servant,Jacob, whom I have chosen,you descendants of Abraham my friend,I took you from the ends of the earth,from its farthest corners I called you.

I said, 'You are my servant';I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you;do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you;I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. "

All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced;those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish.Though you search for your enemies,you will not find them.Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all.

For I am the LORD, your God,who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear;I will help you. Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob,O little Israel,for I myself will help you," declares the LORD,your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

"See, I will make you into a threshing sledge,new and sharp, with many teeth.You will thresh the mountains and crush them,and reduce the hills to chaff. You will winnow them, the wind will pick them up,and a gale will blow them away.

But you will rejoice in the LORD and glory in the Holy One of Israel.

"The poor and needy search for water,but there is none;their tongues are parched with thirst.

But I the LORD will answer them;I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

I will make rivers flow on barren heights,and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water,and the parched ground into springs.

I will put in the desert the cedar and the acacia, the myrtle and the olive.I will set pines in the wasteland,the fir and the cypress together, so that people may see and know,may consider and understand,that the hand of the LORD has done this,that the Holy One of Israel has created it.

(The LORD says these in Isaiah 41:8-20)

Letter 2 Dear Friends

My dear, dear friends!

I love you so much. I do want the very best for you. You make me feel such joy, fill me with such pride. Don't waver. Stay on track, steady in God.

Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you're on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute!

Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.

I'm glad in God, far happier than you would ever guess—happy that you're again showing such strong concern for me. Not that you ever quit praying and thinking about me. You just had no chance to show it. Actually, I don't have a sense of needing anything personally. I've learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances. I'm just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I've found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am. I don't mean that your help didn't mean a lot to me—it did. It was a beautiful thing that you came alongside me in my troubles.

Receive and experience the amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, deep, deep within yourselves.

(Philippians 4:1,4-14,23) The Message BIBLE

Hey listen,shut down that WORRY WORKSHOP

For all of you who are like me..................who are the CEOs OF WORRY WORKSHOPs.................

I was hearing a song as I was moving through the thick traffic on my way to office........... It said Dont worry about your life, by one of the most renowned Christian Singers,Rebecca St.James.............it went on to say Look at the Birds of the air and they have everything they need ..........
God help me be free knowing that you will care for me.

Wow, it was great and it brought SOME LAW ENFORCING AUTHORITIES (verses) FROM THE BIBLE AND SEALED THAT COMPANY THAT I WAS (ILLEGALLY) RUNNING SO LONG........ hahahahahaha

Read that song that I have attached herewith AND CLOSE THAT BUSINESS OF WORRYING THAT YOU've BEEN SO SUCCESSFULLY RUNNING FOR YEARS ( with only LOSSES)...................hey hey, GOD cares for you...............The same GOD who created the BIRDS (with 5 senses) and WHO TAKES CARE OF THEIR EVERYTHING, created us & 
HE WILL CARE FOR US PEOPLE WHO ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN THEM.



Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? (Matthew 6:25-27)


Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
(Matthew 10:39)
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?  (Matthew 16:25,26)



Don't Worry lyrics by REBECCA ST. JAMES

Don't worry about your life
If you hold it too close you lose it
Don't worry about your life
So won't you let go before it's gone?

On the corner of 5th and Broadway
I was walking to the grocery store on 3rd
I saw a man upon a box
And he seemed a little unorthodox
Though he was preaching up a storm
And as I walked on by
He said...

Don't worry about your life
If you hold it too close you lose it
Don't worry about your life
So won't you let go before it's gone?

A little further on I saw
A begger on the street
He asked for change
And then gives me his life story
He said he was a millionaire
But he made some bad decisions there
And now a dollar fifty could feed him for a week
And he said....

Don't worry about your life
If you hold it too close you lose it
Don't worry about your life
So won't you let go before it's gone?

Don't worry about your life
If you hold it too close you lose it
Don't worry about your life
So won't you let go before it's gone?

And I see the birds
Watch them fly high
They've got everything they need
Show me why.
I can be free knowing You will care for me!

Finally at the grocery store
My mind is filled with many thoughts
As I bump into a girl I knew from High School
She said "What's different about you girl?"
And I said "This is what I know is true.
And I'll pass it right along to you."

Don't worry about your life
If you hold it too close you lose it
Don't worry about your life
So won't you let go before it's gone?

Don't worry about your life
If you hold it too close you lose it
Don't worry about your life
So won't you let go before it's gone?

Don't worry about your life
If you hold it too close you lose it
Don't worry about your life
So won't you let go before it's gone?

When God seems a cheat-The DIAMOND Story

Have u ever been through a situation when you felt that God had forsaken you just like JESUS felt?
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46, Mark 15:34, Psalm 22:1)

Despite trusting God hopefully, have you ever felt like killing yourself and prayed that you might die, like that great Prophet Elijah?
Elijah.....prayed that he might die. "I have had enough, LORD," he said. "Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors." (I Kings 19:4)

Did you ever go through a situation when you felt that God decieved you as it was the case with the mighty Prophet Jeremiah?
O LORD, you deceived me, and I was deceived ; you overpowered me and prevailed. I am ridiculed all day long; everyone mocks me. (Jeremiah 20:7)

Have you ever felt that God rejected you and hid His face from your problems and appeared sleeping, as He appeared to the Worship Leaders of Israel?
Awake, O Lord! Why do you sleep? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever.Why do you hide your face and forget our misery and oppression? (Psalm 44:23,24)

Did you ever feel that God ditched you and rejected you and threw you away inspite of the anointing and the calling in your life, just like David, the Man after God'w own Heart, felt?
But you have rejected, you have spurned,you have been very angry with your anointed one.You have renounced the covenant with your servant and have defiled his crown in the dust. (Psalm 89:38,39)

Did you ever feel that God was a terror to you just like Moses, the Man of God, felt?
We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation.(Psalm 90:7)

Have you ever been through anxiety and anguish when you started praying until blood came?
And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground (Luke 22:44)

Yes, I too went through the same phase.Death, accidents, losses, fever that took me close to death, disappointments, rejection, humiliation, separation from friends and loved ones,none to care for situation, loneliness, lack of finances and the only words in prayer were constant sobbing, tears and full of questions.The WORDs and the promises from the BIBLE were all nowhere and things were entirely against what the word said.Crying daily for nearly 2months and yet searching the BIBLE for an answer, I was too sick.Started spitting blood after tearful prayers for hours together.I Lost my voice and couldn't speak/eat well for 23 days at the end of which there was a surgery that put me in the bed.The surgery wounds couldn't heal cos I was crying over and over.

I felt that the LORD ditched me, turned me into a liar and ruined me on every side.I looked into the WORD and learnt that I wasn't alone.Even JESUS CHRIST had to go through that.Why me LORD, there are so many people who live a life without problems

In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation (JESUS CHRIST)perfect through suffering. (Hebrews 2:10)

I failed to understand that.Why would God want to make JESUS CHRIST, the blameless one PERFECT?
JESUS is the one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. (Hebrews 4:15)

A sinless Lamb of God had to be made perfect?????????????? I couldn't understand still.

I felt that God was talking to me late in the evening about DIAMOND, the RICHEST, Most PRECIOUS commodity in the ENTIRE WORLD.

Diamond is a form of Carbon, one of the the most abundant materials on the Earth.............just like Human beings are abundant.Not all Carbon varieties become Diamonds..........some become Charcoals, some become Fuels, some become the organic compounds in plants and animals.Only ones that endure EXTREME PRESSURES and DEPTHS for a VERY LONG TIME can become DIAMONDS...........yeah, if you have a calling to be precious you have to go through extreme pressures and lowliness in life, seemingly LONGER..........

I heard Him say more........after that it is cut out of the earth..................the DIAOMND might think that its problems are over....................no it begins there...........just like we feel that the problems are over, only to see NEW PROBLEMS cropping up.

Now the AGONY is CRUEL.From being a big lump, it starts reducing in size.............they start CUTTING IT ON ALL SIDES...................Oh, thats how you feel that YOU HAVE LOST EVERYTHING..............YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE PAIN OF DIAMOND;it cries and goes through the agony.NO ONE CAN HEAR /UNDERSTAND ITS PAIN..............It can't cry, it can't say STOP, but has to undergo that.

Then what happens LORD, my heart bleeds and begs to know the answer!
Again it goes theough the FILING........it is rubbed by other DIAMONDS in all different directions..............but how long?????????



Until it reflects the LIGHT in Brilliant colours in ALL DIFFERENT directions,
Until it becomes the MOST PRECIOUS GEM that the world can ever afford
Until there is no match for its DAZZLING GLORY
Until it becomes the one that is DESIRED BY EVERYONE
Oh, thank you LORD.Thats a wonderful explanation.Thanks for choosing me as a DIAMOND and thank you for the tough situations that I go through.



ONE DAY I KNOW THAT AFTER ALL THE POLISHING IS OVER I SHALL DAZZLE LIKE THE DIAMOND THAT WILL BE PRICLESS POSESSION.........................POSESSED BY GOD ALONE!!!!!!!!!!

Redemptive Names of GOD

Those who know your name will trust in you, (Psalm 9:10)


We shall give it a try...........including me, at this juncture.........we shall call upon the NAME of God.There is the NAME of GOD for EVERY situation.......just like there is the name called DOCTOR for treating sickness, POLICE for guarding, LAWYER for fighting a case on your behalf, there is a name of God for every situation.



Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me. (Psalm 50:15)



Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. (Jeremiah 33:3)

'What about those who havent heard about Jesus? (will they go to hell or heaven)???'

Query:

'What about those who havent heard about Jesus? (will they go to hell or heaven)???'


ANSWER:
Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.(John 17:3) KNOWING GOD AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST IS ETERNAL LIFE.....OR in simpler terms,HEAVEN!

But if people have not hear about JESUS, how would they get eternal life.......... impossible;they can't go to heaven, because KNOWING JESUS IS ETERNAL LIFE.

"All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." (Matthew 11:27,Luke 10:22)(read the underlined portion a couple of times over)


If people haven't heard about JESUS, it is because (may I be accepted/excused if I'm standing by just what the WORD says) the Son has not chosen to reveal himself to that person.

He surely reveals himself to those whom GOD has predestined.

For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. (Romans 8:29,30)

I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one." (John 10:28-30)

These verses say it all...THOSE WHOM GOD PREDESTINED TO BE CONFIRMED TO THE LIKENESS OF HIS SON.......IF WE ARE LIKE HIS SON, THEN WE WILL BE WHERE HE IS..............IN HEAVEN..............no one can snatch them out of the FATHER's Hand..................not even satan or any kind of sin.

But how does this system work............................WE KNOW JESUS BECAUSE HE HAS SHOWN US HIS MERCY AND HENCE HE HAS CHOSEN TO REVEAL AND HAS MADE KNOWN HIMSELF TO US.

None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. (John 17:12)

So if the Lord has DOOMED SOMEONE TO DESTRUCTION ONLY THAT PERSON WOULD BE LOST WITHOUT KNOWING JESUS CHRIST and NONE OTHER ( you can field queries on this, however through the Holy Ghost I think I can handle them----the following verses would suffice them too, I presume)

And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. (II Corinthians 4:3)

I anticipate being bombarded with such questions Then what is this big fuss about HEAVEN/ETERNAL LIFE................see this following verse

For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy. For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden. One of you will say to me: "Then why does God still blame us? For who resists his will?" But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?' "Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use? (Romans 9:15-21)


It is HIS will..........to make some people as ones DESTINED FOR HEAVEN and REVEALS HIMSELF TO THEM and the OTHERS GO WITHOUT KNOWING HIM.

Just think of this.......Moses knowing GOD through the FIRE IN THE BUSH, who was none other than IAM THAT IAM, Jehovah GOD..............Saul knowing GOD through the mid-day light, who was none other than JESUS CHRIST himself.

Speak 2 that situation & change them upside down-All by yourself

Read this message all the way down.I thank GOD for helping me to write this and I know that it was not me who wrote it, but the Spirit of God. Thanks a lot Holy Spirit........ You know what, I write this when I myself am into lots of negative situations and was found uttering just negatives;until Holy Ghost descended on me to use my own hand to jot these dictations (to slap me on my face to correct me instantly)....................hehehe, I am seen grinning from ear to ear at those mistakes of mine.......................sheepish smile they call...........Sorry Lord.I shall never utter negative again.ok?

Now, don't you wait to change the negatives around you.You can change them yourself........read over


For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.(Romans 10:10)

When the heart believes, then we are justified; But look at that Word- WE ARE SAVED WHEN WE CONFESS WITH OUR MOUTH.....................Confess the WORD of God over and over.

Confess (keep uttering) such verses from the Bible like

I can do ALL THINGS through CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME (Philippians 4:13)
The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me;(Psalm 138:8) or even Psalm 23

The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. (Proverbs 18:21)

Speak the Word of God (LIFE) into dead situations as Ezekiel did-

So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army. (Ezekiel 37:10)

Speak into situations like debts, bondages, curses, hatred, enmity,sickness,demonic attacks and speak against every negative situation and tell them what the LORD's Word tells you.

Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. (Matthew 21:21)

"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. (Mark 11:23)

So, how can we speak with faith. Where does faith come from?

Here is the answer
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.(Romans 10:17)

When you start hearing the Word of God over and over, your heart shall be filled with it and it starts overflowing in the form of positive words that are filled with life and faith

For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. (Matthew 12:34,35)

If our heart is overflowing with the Word of GOD, then we speak the Word of GOD.If we continually think good things in our heart, we can speak just that. This verse means that if our heart is overflowing with anger, then we speak angry words.If it is overflowing with humor ,then we speak humorous words. If it is overflowing with good wishes for the others, then we speak words expressing good wishes.If it is full of gossip, then we speak words of gossip.

So our line of thinking essentially have to be in these lines
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. (Philippians 4:8)

To think True&Noble&Right&Pure&Lovely&Admirable&Excellent&Praiseworthy thoughts in our hearts, we have to keep hearing them all............................... ONLY THE WORD OF GOD COMES LOADED WITH SUCH THOUGHTS................................find them and READ THE WORD OF GOD ALOUD

When u read the WORD aloud, Ur heart is filled and you speak and you hear it again, in your own voice and then it fills your heart and the cycle follows.Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont want to sin, but why and how do I sin?

Even St.Paul struggled with sin.How does GOD intend to deliver us from it?

I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. (Romans 7:15-20)

Dear Friends, how many of us go through this phase. Paul went through. After 6 chapters in which he speaks about GOD, in Romans, he comes to the 7th Chapter and openly confesses his inability to overcome sin.

I realized this so much today as I met with yet another accident, crashing at a high speed in one of the busiest CMH road traffic. I rose up after a rolling a series of times with a terribly torn Shirt and trouser of my dad (that I fondly wear), blood showing up through the spaces where skin was missing.I know that I sin when I do a 80 KMPH at a zone which has 40 as the speed limit. I want to overtake sin much more than I want to overtake other fast vehicles ahead of me.

Yeah I had tried reducing speed and since I got anointed on the 11th of JUNE, I had gone on fasting so many times asking GOD to control my speed. But,I have got one of the fastest bikes since then, touching 120 regularly in the highways and doing between 70 and 90 in the busy Bangalore traffic. I have done a 140KMPH speed in Getz, Swift and also our little Maruthi 800(130KMPH).Since childhood I have overtaken TVS mopeds travelling at 30-35 KMPH with my green color bicycle with little or no brakes.Wickedness and wilfullness of sin was prevalent beyond all the severe beatings that I recieved at my dad's hand.

I wonder why I do that, though I REALLY, REALLY WANT TO SUPPRESS THIS DESIRE Which as termed by many of my well-wishers (and as I know) is a sin..................I know some of you might have some other habits that is hard to break , though you have tried millions of times to overcome.

Where can I go but to run to the WORD OF GOD to seek a solution for this problem? Then it says

Turning away from wickedness is a blessing, and JESUS was raised up from death ONLY FOR TURNING US AWAY FROM WICKED WAYS,the Bible says so

When God raised up his servant, he(GOD) sent him(JESUS) first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.(Acts 3:26)

"And now, LORD, let the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house be established forever. Do as you promised, (I Chronicles 17:23)

Remember the word to Your servant,Upon which You have caused me to hope.(Psalm 119:49)

I trust you JESUS. Your Word is true and I hope in you, because you have made me to hope in your word. Now LORD, do as you have promised through your WORD.Fulfill the purpose for which you were raised from the dead. In JESUS name I ask you MERCIFUL FATHER.

Amen

Why would God want ME?

For all those who are doubting themselves and their suitability to attend GOD's call

for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable.(Romans 11:29)

I'm not perfect. I have all kinds of problems. I have no ability. I have no gifts. I'm just not worthy. Why would God want me?

Well, did you know that

Moses stuttered.
David's armor didn't fit.
John Mark deserted Paul.
Timothy had ulcers.
Hosea's wife was a prostitute.
Amos' only training was in the school of fig-tree pruning.
Jacob was a liar.
David had an affair.
Solomon was too rich.
Jesus was too poor.
Abraham was too old.
David was too young.
Peter was afraid of death.
Lazarus was dead.
John was self-righteous.
Naomi was a widow.
Paul was a persecutor of the church.
Moses was a murderer.
Jonah ran from God's will.
Miriam was a gossip.
Gideon and Thomas both doubted.
Jeremiah was depressed and suicidal.
Elijah was burned out.
John the Baptist was a loudmouth.
Martha was a worry-wart.
Noah got drunk.
Did I mention that Moses had a short fuse?
So did Peter, Paul - well, lots of folks did.

But God doesn't require a job interview for salvation. He's our Heavenly Father. He doesn't look at financial gain or loss. He's not prejudiced or partial, not judging, grudging, sassy, or brassy, not deaf to our cry, not blind to our need. He know who we are and what we are and loves us in spite of ourselves

SATAN SAYS, "YOU'RE NOT WORTHY."
JESUS SAYS, "SO WHAT? I AM."
SATAN LOOKS BACK AND SEES OUR MISTAKES.
GOD LOOKS BACK AND SEES THE CROSS.

He doesn't calculate how you failed in '99. It's not even on the record.

Sure, there are lots of reasons why God shouldn't call us. But if we are in love with Him, if we hunger for Him, He'll use us in spite of who we are, where we've been, what we have done, or the fact that we are not perfect

Power of Praise

Praise is the way to Deliverance

O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. (Psalm 51:15)

Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High, and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me." (Psalm 50:14,15)

Just an amazing instance of how the LORD works when his praise is proclaimed

Its in II Chronicles 20:21-25

"Give thanks to the LORD, for his love endures forever." As they began to sing and praise, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. The men of Ammon and Moab rose up against the men from Mount Seir to destroy and annihilate them. After they finished slaughtering the men from Seir, they helped to destroy one another. When the men of Judah came to the place that overlooks the desert and looked toward the vast army, they saw only dead bodies lying on the ground; no one had escaped. So Jehoshaphat and his men went to carry off their plunder, and they found among them a great amount of equipment and clothing and also articles of value—more than they could take away.

See the miracle of GOD.

Praising GOD in everything is actually doing the will of GOD.

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. (I Thessalonians 5:18)

So whatever be the situation-Life/Death;
Joy/Sorrow;
Health/Sickness;
Fear/Courage;
Holy/Sinful;
Love/Hatred;
Wealth/Poverty;
Shame/Fame;

We shall thank the FATHER IN HEAVEN through JESUS CHRIST his son.

Even when we do something, we should thank GOD through JESUS CHRIST.

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3:17)

Every problem is an opportunity for GOD's miracle and so praise Him for every problem and the miracle that comes through

The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten. After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully.Upon receiving such orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks. About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose. (Acts 16:22-26)

So let the bondages be broken and prison doors be open and chains be shattered in the name of JESUS through praise.

For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations. (Isaiah 61:11)

How to overcome lust?

People are struggling with lust. "I'm masturbating, I'm into pornography,yellow journals, sex chats, I read yellow mags and can't be without watching X rated movies, I've had immoral relationship with someone, I can't resist having sex with my girl/boy friend, I'm tempted to cheat my wife,my friend's husband is too hot for me, at office I have so much of pressure from my colleague/boss to have sex...............so on and so forth are the constant complaints from people who want to live a pure life but yet can't. Here is a way out

She caught him by his cloak and said, "Come to bed with me!" But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. (Genesis 39:12)

This was Joseph. Even if lust pulls you by your shirt, run out of it, escape, flee.And GOD raised this Joseph as the greatest power next only to Pharoah.The following verse says how to tackle lust.

Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. (II Timothy 2:22)

As I was meditating on this Word, I found that to flee the lusts and evil desires of youth, it is imperative to keep ourselves in the company of people who call on the Lord..........ALONG WITH THOSEWHO PURSUE GODLINESS.... pursue is to run after, to seek, to chase, to aim at..........
Yeah to keep ourselves pure we should be in the company of people who pursue holiness and righteousness of the Lord.

After running away from lust, we should run into a company of people who love GOD. A prayer meeting, a Worship service, a Bible Study or a Gospel Outreach or a Fasting Prayer or any such fellowship which looks upon the LORD JESUS CHRIST will keep us safe from lust.

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. 30And 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. (Matthew 5:29,30)

Even if it is an important thing like your Eye or Hand, cut it off and throw it away. Even if it is an important relationship that you have had from childhood drop it, if it causes you to sin. Even if it is a job that gives u bread throw it off if it is causing you to sin. Even if it is a cable connection that lets you watch spiritual program through GOD TV or any spiritual channel or sports or NEWS, cut the connection if it is making you watch late night adult movies.

It is better for one to reach heaven without all these than reaching hell after having all these.

Read the BIBLE a lot. It gives light to the eyes

The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. (Psalm 19:8)

Keep praying. It can keep away from sinning.

"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." (Matthew 26:41)

Yes, the spirit is willing to keep away from sin.But the body is weak'It can't resist the temptaion.Hence pray to GOD who can keep you from falling.

To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen. (Jude 24:25)



May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it. (I Thessalonians 5:23,24)

How to know and do God's will?

How to know and do God's will?

For almost all of us this is a billion dollar question.What is God's will in my studies, in my job, in my marriage, in my family, finances, in this important decision that I have got to make. The answers are here.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)

"I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted.(Job 42:2)

So, no plan of GOD for your life can be thwarted (stopped/halted/obstructed) by anyone........... Not by Satan, not by your sinful nature, not by your enemies and not by anyone or anything that you can ever name her in this universe or anywhere in the neighboring Andromeda Galaxy or from anywhere.

Just read the following verses from the Bible. They will clearly state how GOD can execute his powerful will and wish.

The LORD does whatever pleases him,
in the heavens and on the earth,
in the seas and all their depths.(Psalm 135:6)

This verse says that whatever GOD wants, he will do it in the heavens and in the earth and in all deep places (that really means hell, a place of immeasurable depth)

Our God is in heaven;
he does whatever pleases him.(Psalm 115:3)

GOD knows what you are, where you are going and even the word that you are going to speak next.

You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.

You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.

Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD (Psalm 139:2-4)


GOD has already written a diary for you in which each day of your life was already written, even before you started your life in your mother's womb

your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be. (Psalm 139:16)

So what should I do?
Answer:
Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. (I Thessalonians 5:18)

You can post comments and or questions here on the comments section. I can reply you

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. (Philippians 4:23)
