fill my heart with godly sorrow, give me the gift of repentance from unseen sin, give me a heart after Your ways Father God, to truly see and abhor sin in all its forms, to take no delight in it, to see it as it is, make me gaze with truthful eyes Father God, open my eyes to the spiritual battles taking place all around me, give me wisdom Lord God, give me strength to engage the enemy, Father God show me Your glory that there I would linger long in awe of You, Father God fill me up that I would have complete satisfaction in You and Your will, Father God come and meet with me that I may know the joy of Your presence Lord God, that in You are pleasures forevermore, renew my mind with that of Christ Jesus, So be it in Jesus Name!!

Isaiah 55:11

Too often as a Christian, I feel scared to preach the Gospel; to open my mouth and tell of what God has done for my life; to preach the truth and give words of life that will give purpose and direction for those that have not experienced the love of Christ. I ask myself questions: will I be good enough? Will I be timid? Am I creating a gate or adding to the fence? How will they react? Will I be able to answer their questions?....

The words of Isaiah 55:11 are a promise made to all believers that if they just open their mouth and preach His heart, His gospel, and His message, those words (and the actions that accompany those words) will ALWAYS be successful!

The Lord speaks:

so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it (NIV)

So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty--handed. They'll do the work I sent them to do, they'll complete the assignment I gave them (Message)

It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. (NLT)

That's how it is with my words. They don't return to me without doing everything I send them to do (CEV)

JESUS vs satan

Thu, 2 Feb 2006 21:00:19 +0000

One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation.
Satan went to visit Jesus in the Garden of Eden,
and Satan came all happy and boasting. (Lk 4: 1-12; Job 1: 6-12)

"Yes, Lord, now I have everybody captive,
(well nearly everybody down there).
I set traps, I used the baits of temptation,
I know well what each one of them can't resist.
I nearly caught them all!" (I Pet 5: 8-9; Eph 6: 10-17)

"What are you going to do with them?" Jesus asked.
and He was praying to God the Father.

Satan answered "Oh, I am going to have some fun with them!"

I'll make them divorce after they have married
so the foundation of humanity will never be able to be established
"the family" (Mt 19: 4-6; Mal 2: 16)

I will make them hate each other and abuse each other,
make them fall into alcohol and drugs without control. (Rom 13: 12-14)

I will teach them to make weapons and bombs,
so they kill each other

"I am really going to have fun!"

"And when you are tired of playing with them, what will you do?"
Jesus asked. And continued praying

"Oh, I will kill them all and their souls will be mine forever"
"Lord by all respect, it's their decision" (I Jn 3: 8-10)

"How much do you want for all of them?" Jesus asked.

"Oh, you don't want these people. They aren't anything good.
Why do you want them if they neither follow you nor love you?
Many hate you! I have seen many of them spitting on you, cursing you and even denying you."
"What's more, they love me a lot" (Mt 24: 10-13)

"You don't want these people!!"

"How much?" Jesus asked again

Satan looked at him with a nasty face

"All your tears and all your blood,
all the pain of the entire world, all together" (Is 53: 4-10; I Pet 2: 24)

Jesus said..."DONE"

"and He paid the price" (II Cor 5: 21)

How terrible it is that people don't seek for God,
and then ask themselves why the world is going to hell!

How terrible that we seek the newspaper everyday to read tragedies
and we never seek the Bible

How insensible it is how everybody wants to go to heaven,
thinking they can get there without having to believe,
without loving God above all things,
or doing what the Bible says...the Laws of God.

It is terrible how some people can say "I believe in God"
but still follow Satan (Who as matter of fact, does fear God)
(II Tim 4: 3-4; II Jn 1: 7-11)

Don't you think it's pathetic how they send
each other thousands of jokes by email,
so they spread like plagues.

But when it's about the Lord's messages,
we think about it twice before we share them;
and we leave the mailboxes of our friends without this message

Don't you think it is outrageous that the obscene,
vulgar and crude is allowed freely to pass through the internet
that even many people would desire to get into the screen.

But it is forbidden to speak publicly about Jesus
in the schools, places of work
self-helping groups, etc... (Acts 4: 19-20)

Even after knowing what He did for us.
Because the Romans didn't kill Him. It was our sin.
that we may be forgiven
and know Him in His glory with the Father.

Doesn't it seem incredible to you how somebody can be a light
on Sabbath in the Church,
worshipping and thanking the Lord for His mercy,
for one more day to live etc.

But during the rest of the week he is an invisible Christian! (II Tim 3: 1-5; Rom 10: 9-13)

Does this seem just to you?

Don't let Satan stop you sending this Mail
to all your contacts on the Web,
It doesn't matter if he tells you that many don't believe this
Don't let him get through with his plans!

Stop worrying what the others may think about you
It is time to worry about what "God thinks about you"

Please brother and sister, pass it on?
"I already did it"

May God bless you always (II Cor 13: 13)

Interesting Explanation

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.

As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.

They talked about so many things and various subjects.

When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:

"I don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.

"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children?

If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."

The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.

The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.

Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.

The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"

"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."

"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."

"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

i want to SHARE this with you

When I say, "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting, "I'm clean living"
I'm whispering "I was lost, now I'm found and I'm forgiven."

When I say, "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need CHRIST to be my guide.

When I say, "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need HIS strength to carry on.

When I say, "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need Jesus to clean up my mess.

When I say, "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are far too visible but God believes I am worth it.

When I say, "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain, have my share of heartaches so I call
upon His name.

When I say, "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou.
I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow.

Share this with somebody who already has this understanding, as reinforcement. But more importantly, share this with those who do not have a clear understanding of what it means to be a Christian, so
that the myth that Christians think they are "perfect" or "better than
others" can be dispelled.

Christians aren't better than others, but they are different. They've seen their sins as God sees them... as "exceedingly sinful" and have placed their trust and faith in Christ's sacrifice and complete
payment for their sins.

Jesus, my everything...

Psalm 25

Of David.

¹^[a] To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul;

² in you I trust, O my God.
Do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.

³ No one whose hope is in you
       will ever be put to shame,
       but they will be put to shame
       who are treacherous without excuse.

⁴ Show me your ways, O LORD,
teach me your paths;

⁵ guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.

⁶ Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.

⁷ Remember not the sins of my youth
       and my rebellious ways;
       according to your love remember me,
       for you are good, O LORD.

⁸ Good and upright is the LORD;
therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.

⁹ He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.

¹⁰ All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful
for those who keep the demands of his covenant.

¹¹ For the sake of your name, O LORD,
forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

¹² Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD ?
He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.

¹³ He will spend his days in prosperity,
and his descendants will inherit the land.

¹⁴ The LORD confides in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known to them.

¹⁵ My eyes are ever on the LORD,
for only he will release my feet from the snare.

¹⁶ Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.

¹⁷ The troubles of my heart have multiplied;
free me from my anguish.

¹⁸ Look upon my affliction and my distress
and take away all my sins.

¹⁹ See how my enemies have increased
and how fiercely they hate me!

²⁰ Guard my life and rescue me;
let me not be put to shame,
for I take refuge in you.

²¹ May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because my hope is in you.

SACRIFICIAL LOVE

Tue, 17 Jan 2006 19:53:55 +0000

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing. ”- Philippians 2:14-16
