BE STILL

 (Exodus14:14)The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Are you stranded because of the oppressions from your enemies? Are you feeling trapped by the snares of the enemy and do you feel locked on all sides? Are you wondering where God is at this moment of despair and what is He doing, instead of coming to your rescue? Are you feeling bugged up, that the enemies are having a laugh at you, while you are reeling under the pain of their afflictions, wounds and hurts?

 

This is a temporary phase, the Lord has allowed in your life. Don't lose heart or give up. He is listening to your cry and will fight the battle for you. You are not alone. Just hold on to your faith in Him. Don't retaliate. Instead, surrender everything in the hands of God and BE STILL.

The battle belongs to the Lord and the Victory is yours. He will turn your mourning into dancing.  

BROKEN & DESPAIR

(Psa 69:20) Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I waited for sympathy, but there was none; for comforters, but found no one.

Dear friend,

The world and the people are not good all the time and neither are we. We all go through bad times. We are known for mood swings and fluctuations of temper and are hardly stable in critical times. Yet, when we are hurt by others, we cry foul over the whole world. We jump up and down making a huge noise pointing fingers at others. We can hardly stand injustice but seldom realize how many times we were unjust even to our near and dear ones.

 

God allows pain and painful moments in our life to break us down so that He can build us in a much better way as well as to make us realize how others would have felt through our own negative and scornful reactions and response to them.

There is a popular saying in Tamil, we can understand the intensity of others headache and toothache, only if we experience it.

What sort of a situation are you going through now? Are you broken and in despair, desperate to come out of your trouble and searching for someone to comfort? Just take a moment to think of others who are going through similar situations. Think about the dear ones, your sweet hearts and beloved ones on the numerous occasions you brought pain into their life. Pray for them. Try to heal their wounds and hurt feelings by taking some remedial action. Forgive others who are scornful to you.

Job prayed to God for his friends’ deliverance before getting delivered. Comfort others and be comforted. Give and it shall be given unto you. Don't be too self cantered or selfish in life. Think about others. You will see the hand of God working for you.

LIVING HOPE THROUGH THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS

(1 Peter 1:3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to His great mercy, He has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

For the world, death may be the end. But the word of God says, physical death is the beginning of another life. Because Jesus died and then rose again to life, we have the greatest victory in life. 

Yes, we have a new living Hope in Christ through this resurrection. The hope of eternal life. Death was conquered by Christ on the Cross and its chains were broken by His resurrection.

Are you crying over the loss of your beloved ones? Are you afraid about death? Remember the empty tomb of Jesus. One day we all will be taken up to be with Him. The ones who are dead in Christ will get resurrected first and the Children of God who are alive will be following them at the voice of the trumpet to be transformed into heavenly beings. What a great HOPE we have!.

Don't cry. Let the pain of death drive you into a person of Godly purpose. Save as many souls as possible from the clutches of death and devil. Keep doing this greatest work for the mankind. Every soul counts.

As you celebrate the resurrection of Christ, get fired up for this great mission as a soul saver/soul winner for the Lord.

JESUS HUNG ON THE CROSS AS A CURSE

(Gal 3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”.

In those days, only the worst criminals were crucified to death. It was considered a curse or cursed in life if anyone was crucified. But Jesus took that mean and horrible punishment on HIM for you and me because He loved you so much and considered worth dying for you.

Are you struggling with defeats, losses, peace-less situations because of generational curses, gasping because of the power of black magic, sorcery or any other evil schemes of the wicked people and demonic oppression?

Are you continuously reminded of these horror incidents, life threatening words and fear for life? Are you under the impression that something is following you all the time and you are under constant danger?

STOP... STOP LISTENING TO THOSE NEGATIVE WORDS. devil is a liar and he is a master of deception. He blinds the spiritual eyes of people from knowing the truth..

LISTEN NOW!

JESUS HUNG ON THE CROSS AS A CURSE TO DELIVER YOU FROM THE CLUTCHES OF ALL CURSES AND EVIL POWERS. HE DEFEATED THE ENEMY THROUGH HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS AND YOU CAN ENJOY THE DELIVERANCE.

Just believe in this great truth.

 Submit your life into His hands.

  Surrender your will to live for Him till the end.

   Accept the great victory of Jesus for your life.

    Resist and rebuke the devil in the name of Jesus.

      Enjoy the freedom, love, joy and peace in Christ Jesus!

DON'T QUIT. DON'T GIVE UP.

YOU NEED TO LIVE FOR JESUS TILL THE END COZ, HE CONSIDERED IT WAS WORTH DYING FOR YOU AND DELIVER YOU..

LIVE FOR HIM ALONE.

COME RUNNING TO JESUS

(Matt 11:28) Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Are you limping in your spiritual life with bleeding wounds  and with no one to approach for help? Neither to God because of the killing guilt of not keeping up your words and promises made to Him?

Are you struggling with your sorrow filled soul with no assurance of another deliverance from the sinking sinful habit?

Is the devil constantly whispering in your heart that everything is over in your life? Is he telling you that you have come to the end of life and there is no more scope or future? Are you on the verge of giving up on life?

Are you running aimlessly in life seeking for the fresh air of hope and a new life?

Don't give up. JESUS STILL LOVES YOU!

He died for you because He wants to take you ashore safe and secure, holy and perfect like Him. He will not despise anyone who comes to Him with an open heart... just as they are.

No one else can understand you and your turmoil better than Jesus. So, come running to Him as you are. Does not matter whether you are dirty or shabby. Come to Jesus. He is waiting to accept you with love.

ENDURING INSULTS & HUMILIATION

(Psa 69:7) For I endure insults for Your sake; humiliation is written all over my face.

Christian life is not easy. It is not a bed of roses. God expects us to be soft, patient, enduring and long suffering like JESUS, even during the moments of insults and humiliation. This is the toughest moment of our life.

Are you going through these kinds of situations? Are you fed up with life because of the people who are repeatedly humiliating you both in public and private? Are you crying "How long this will happen?"

Don't worry. Keep going looking at the face of Jesus. Every painful moment you endured as a child of God is recorded in Heaven. He who watches your agony will reward you and will lift you up before the eyes of others. He shall honour you and shall bless you more. Your sorrows will be turned into Joy.

He shall lift you up before the very eyes of those who humiliated you and shall keep you over those who insulted you. Just trust God alone. Don't look at the world, the people or the surroundings. Let your eyes be on JESUS.

DON'T OVER WORK

(Prov 23:4,5) Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit. In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle.

Are you behind wealth, OR are you focused on wealth accumulation? Are you into the trap of working extra time all the time for realizing your financial dreams?

Being wealthy or rich is essential for a comfortable living, but that cannot become your life.  You should keep riches in its place, else it will boss over you. You will lose your individuality and will become a slave to it. Wealth and riches are not stable.

If you start trusting them, you will be disappointed. Within a blink of the eye, they can desert you and leave you as an orphan in the street. 

Instead, put your trust in the Lord. He will not leave you alone. Don't over work and spoil your health. Be faithful to God even in taking care of your body. 

SHUT YOUR MOUTH !!!!!

(Pro 21:23) Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut,and you will stay out of trouble.

Venting our emotions by putting them into words may be the easiest way to handle it but, it is the most unproductive, useless and dangerous one. Sometimes we hurt our near and dear ones by letting our anger, hurt or regret talk. Wounds caused by words take the longest to heal and the scars left by them are the deepest and difficult to erase from memory. Many a times loose words let out in fun can also have a devastating effect destroying precious relationships. Do not let your emotions control your tongue.

Instead of talking to people when you are down, the best way is to talk to God. Take everything that is weighing you down to Him in prayer. Surrender it to Him and let Him calm you. In moments like this, we may have to follow the famous saying "SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND KEEP QUIET". Yes, we should learn to close our mouth to the people but open our heart to JESUS.

Guard your mouth!! What kind of words do you speak every day? Do your words build others or crush them down? Does it comfort others or agitate and frustrates them? Just because you are having a bad day does not mean others should also have a horrible day. Have you surrendered your tongue to the Lord???

GOD GOES IN THE FRONT

(Psa 68:7) O God, when You went in front of Your people, when You marched through the desert...

Yes our God goes before us. He sets the benchmark of living and is the perfect role-model for us to follow. He is loving and caring. He never lets His children down.

Are you troubled in your heart? Don't go by feelings. But go by faith. Even if you are going through a dry patch in life, yet don't lose heart. He is still with you and will walk with you through this dry patch. He takes care of you and moulds you for a better future. Sometimes, you are allowed to walk through this dry patch for edification and you are pruned for more yields in life.

HE GOES BEFORE YOU. Do not worry about your future. Everything is taken care of by Him. You just need to trust HIM and move forward boldly.

PRISON TO PRODUCTIVE LIFE

(Psa 68:6) God places lonely people in families. He leads prisoners out of prison into productive lives, but rebellious people must live in an unproductive land.

Are you lonely or feeling lonely in-spite of having family and friends around? Do you feel that no one cares for you and you are no longer important to anybody? Are you struggling with die-hard habits which have tied you down into an unproductive life? 

If you are not able to move forward in life, make new friends and progress higher because of your shyness or inferior complex that bogs you down, you are a prisoner to self pity or complex feelings. As long as you are bonded to any habit or people or situation that takes the priority in life you can never be productive and will never have the real joy and happiness that is a by-product of real freedom in Christ.

Are you doing justice to the skills, talents, time, resources and other facilities you are blessed with? OR is there anything (habit, lifestyle, people, and situations) that is stealing away the best of your performance, productivity or peace? Come back to God. Surrender your life totally to Him. He will deliver you from the prison like situation into a productive life for Him. We are in the last days. God needs you for His purpose.

Don't be worried about your past. Give everything into the hands of God. He shall reshape and restore your lost glory and renew your strength in HIM. You shall be a success and a blessing.
