God Is Not Judging U

Romans 8:33 - Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
Some people see God as a judge who has exacting demands on man. When they fall short or when things go wrong in their lives, they think that God is judging them.

My friend, the truth is that if u are a believer, God does not bring any charge against u. Instead, He justifies u bcoz of the blood of His Son. In fact, God’s Word goes on 2 say that the One who has the right 2 condemn u, chose instead 2 die 4 u and is risen at the Father’s right hand 2b your righteousness! (Romans 8:34).

But what the devil tries 2 do is 2 get u 2 believe that God watches u with a critical eye and punishes u when u do wrong. He has deceived many sincere Christians into believing that if they have done something wrong, sickness or some other evil thing has a right 2 come upon them and their families. And when these things happen, he convinces them that they are suffering God’s judgment bcoz of their wrong doings. In the meantime, these sincere Christians struggle with condemnation bcoz they think that they are the cause of their problems.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Ever since the cross, where Jesus was judged in your place 4 every one of your wrong actions, thoughts & words, God no longer judges u, His child. You need not accept condemnation or evil things happening 2 u bcoz Jesus took all your punishment at the cross.

So when u start 2 feel condemned for your actions or when u experience negative circumstances, say, “It is written: It is God who justifies me. I am completely forgiven and made righteous b4 Him. I refuse 2 accept any condemnation and I reject every symptom of the curse that I am seeing in my circumstances!”
Then, simply stand on the truth of God’s Word, and watch Him deliver and bless u!

Jesus Has The Final Word

Revelation 1:8 - “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beg & the End," says the Lord…

The doctor has just told u that u have an incurable disease. The X-rays & blood tests confirm it.Your worst fears have come true & u feel like your future has been sealed.

My friend, the doctor’s report is not final. Jesus declares 2 u, “I Am the Alpha & the Omega, theBeginning & the End.” (Revelation 1:8) He has the first word as well as the final word in your situation. The experts & medical reports don’t!

Alpha & omega are the first & last letters of the Greek alphabet. But Jesus did not speak Greek.He spoke Aramaic or Hebrew. So He would have said, “I am the Aleph & the Tav.” Aleph & Tavare the first & last letters of the Hebrew alphabet. So what Jesus is declaring 2 us is this: "I have the first word in your situation. And I have the final word in your situation!”

Each Hebrew letter has a corresponding picture. Interestingly, aleph is associated w/an ox & Tav, a cross. Together, they make up a beautiful picture of what Jesus did 4 us — He is the sacrificial“animal” on the cross. It was 4 us that He suffered, bled & died.

When Jesus hung on the cross, He took our infirmities & bore our sicknesses. (Matthew 8:17). That is why your sickness does not have the final word in your life. Jesus does, bcoz He took your sickness upon His body & paid 4 your healing w/His blood.

When Jesus hung on the cross, He took our curse. (Galatians 3:13) We were supposed 2b cursed bcoz of our sins, but He took our place & the curse fell on Him. Today, we take His place & His blessings fall on us!

So why settle 4 the curse of sickness or even poverty when the price 4 your healing & prosperity has been paid by Jesus? Sickness & poverty do not have the final word in your life. Jesus does bcoz He redeemed u from every curse!

Beloved, when man says that it is impossible, Jesus says that it is possible. The Alpha & the Omega, the Beginning & the End, has the final word in your situation!

The Lord Your Refuge Will Deliver You


Psalm 91:3 - Surely He shall deliver u from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence.
 
Today, we hear of new strains of viruses which were unheard of only a generation ago. The world has yet 2 find cures for them and many people are afraid of being struck down by these viruses.
But as believers, we are not of the world, though we are in the world. (John 17:15–16) So our protection is not of the world, but of the Lord. And when we say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust,” (Psalm 91:2) then what follows is not “maybe”, but surely He will deliver u from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence.
A couple in our church can testify that surely the Lord delivered and protected their two young children during a Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) outbreak, which claimed a few lives in Singapore not long ago.
When their four-year-old daughter started vomiting and running a fever, the mother brought her 2 their family doctor, who found ulcers in her mouth and small red dots on her hands and feet — symptoms of the HFMD. Naturally, the doctor prescribed medication for her.
Back home, however, the little girl continued 2 vomit throughout the day, throwing up everything including the medication. Her fever persisted. Not able 2 do anything for their daughter, the parents prayed, proclaiming Jesus as their healer, and partook of the Holy Communion many times with both their children.
That night, their daughter’s fever broke and the vomiting subsided. They continued making the Lord their refuge and fortress. Within two days, their daughter was completely delivered from the disease. And all this while, their six-year-old son was completely protected from the infectious disease.

Beloved, u don’t need 2b afraid of deadly diseases which may have claimed the lives of others. You don’t have 2b fearful that u or your child may become victims of these super bugs. When the Lord is your refuge and fortress, surely He shall deliver u and your family from the snare of the fowler, such as the avian flu, and from all perilous pestilences!

The Head And Body Are One

Colossians 1:18  -  And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

God’s Word says that Christ is the head and we the church are His body. So Christ and the church are one. Christ and u are one! You cannot say that God sees Christ the head perfect but His body imperfect. Or that Christ is accepted but His body not accepted. The measure of Jesus’ acceptance with God is the measure of your acceptance with God! 

So it makes no sense 2 say that the head is well but the body sick, that the head is rich but the body poor, or that the head is at rest but the body full of stress. My friend, what Jesus is before God, u His body are. As He is, so are u in this world! (1 John 4:17)

Today, God wants u 2 lay claim on Christ being your head. Start believing that all His perfections, and the delight and joy that He brings 2 the Father’s heart, He has set 2 your account. And u will begin 2 realize that as Jesus is a sweet-smelling aroma 2 the Father, so are u!

The more u begin 2 see that u are one with Christ, the more u will realize that whatever u need right now, He is dispensing 2 u. If u are sick in your body, Christ your head imparts His health and healing 2 u. If u lack wisdom, Christ your head freely imparts His wisdom 2 u. If u have any lack, Christ your head gives u His exceeding riches.

Beloved, have this rich revelation that Christ and u are one. You can never be separated from Christ your head from whom comes all the supply for your body — all the power, wisdom, prosperity and health. So declare, “As He is, so am I in this world!”

6 Satanic Deceptions Concerning Increase

6 Satanic Deceptions Concerning Increase:

1.   Our enemy, satan, creates 'doubt' that God wants u 2 experience increase.

2.  He creates 'guilt' 4 even desiring increase. [1000s of diligent workers are accused of being greedy and materialistic bcoz of their constant pursuit of excellence.]

3.  He creates an attitude of 'self-sufficiency.'  Many attempt uncommon success without the counsel and assistance of God.

4.  He creates 'jealousy' toward others who enjoy uncommon blessing.  Envy is deadly.

5.  He creates an 'inordinate desire' 4 something u have not yet earned or deserved.
     "Withhold not good from them '2 whom it is due', when it is in the power of thine hand 2 do it" (Proverbs 3:27).

6.  He tempts u 2 pursue increase 'unlawfully or unethically.'  Resenting your potential
     increase, satan crafts brilliant strategies 2 paralyze the Promise of 1000 MORE.
     Yes, it is impossible 4 satan 2 expel your desire 4 increase.  Even bvabies reach 4
     something more.  He can only distort, pervert and twist this principle in your life.
     Through guilt, doubt and envy, he weaves a web of deceit that robs u of the 1000
      MORE God said u deserved.

    Poverty is so unnecessary.
    Loss is so painful.
    Ignorance is so deadly.
    Wisdom is so rewarding.

    [I have fallen in love w/the Holy Spirit.]  He is the Spirit of Wisdom.  (C Isaiah 1:2).  He is the Source of every good gift u receive from God.  (Read I Corinthians 2:9,10).

    1000 times more Peace.
    1000 times more Joy.
    1000 times more Love.
    1000 times more Finances.
    1000 times more Wisdom.
    1000 times more Miracles.
    1000 times more Victories.
    1000 times more Favor.
    1000 times more Ideas.
  
    I know your 'need' 4 increase, your 'desire' 4 increase, your 'Source' 4 increase.

    I hate pain.
    I want u completely 'healed.'
    That is why I wrote this book.

Jesus Is Still Jehovah Rapha

Exodus 15:26 … I am the Lord who heals you.”

Do u know that the first compound name that the Lord revealed 2 the Israelites after they came out of Egypt was Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals u? It was as if He was telling them, as they began their new life with Him, that He had already healed them of all the diseases and pains they suffered when they were in bondage in Egypt. Indeed, when He brought them out of Egypt, “there was none feeble among His tribes”. (Psalm 105:37)

Today, just as the Israelites were delivered from their bondage in Egypt and from slavery 2 Pharaoh, u have also been delivered from the bondage of sin and sickness, and from slavery 2 the devil, by the blood of the Lamb. And the Lord, who is the same yesterday, today and forever, still says 2 u, “I am the Lord who heals u.”

A church member, who was experiencing pain in her womb for several months, looked 2 Jesus as her healer even as she went 2 see a doctor, who performed an ultrasound scan on her womb. When told that she had two big tumors and several blood cysts in her womb, she continued 2 look 2 Jesus as her healer. The doctor then had her blood tested 2 see if the tumors were cancerous.

Three days later, she saw the doctor again and was told that the tumors were not cancerous. Not only that, but a second ultrasound scan also showed that all the cysts and one of the tumors had completely disappeared! The other tumor had also shrunk. Although she had taken medication, the doctor told her that based on the original size of the tumor, it should have taken months 2 shrink that much. He commented that this was the quickest healing he had ever seen!

Beloved, if the doctor has given u a bad report regarding your health, don’t despair. Look 22 Jesus and expect healing for your body. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is still Jehovah Rapha — the Lord who heals U!
 

What Is On Your Heart?

Hebrews 8:10 - “… I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts…” 

Many of us have been taught that we cannot trust our hearts. We quote verses like “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked…” (Jeremiah 17:9), not knowing that Jeremiah was referring 2 the man who had not received Jesus as his Lord and Savior.

I have had people come 2 me and say, " I don’t know what I should do with my life.”
“What is on your heart?” I asked one of them.

“I would love 2 work among children.”

“Then work among children!”

“But I am waiting on the Lord 2 tell me 2 do that.”

“Well, He has given u the desire, so go and work among children!”

“But the desire comes from my heart. How do I know if it is of God?”

My friend, once u are saved, u have a brand new heart (Ezekiel 36:26), and u can trust the promptings of your heart bcoz God dwells in u and He leads u from within. And don’t worry bcoz His promptings will never contradict His Word. It will lead u 2 good success.

Often, u find that when u follow your inner promptings, it is actually God who has put those desires in your mind and written them on your heart. I remember years ago when I approached one of our church leaders and told him, “I really think that u are called 2b a full-time pastor.” It turned out 2b a confirmation of what he already knew on the inside. You see, God was already leading him from within. Today, he is one of our full-time pastors.

If u enjoy something and desire 2 do it, then go for it! Go with the flow. God Himself says that He will guide us from within. Let’s not doubt Him. And don’t worry about the outcome. Your part is just 2 follow the flow. God’s part is 2 work in u both the willingness and the performance of it! (Philippians 2:13)

Beloved, bcoz God has given u a new heart, He will write His desires on it. And as u fulfill these desires, u will bring forth fruit, and not wither and die. Whatever u do will prosper!

Power From Jesus’ Body 2 Yours

Matthew 26:26 -  … “Take, eat; this is My body.”

Can u imagine the Lord sick, nursing a cold or fever while He walked on earth? No, our Lord Jesus was never sick! He was vibrant, full of life and full of health. When He told His disciples, “Take, eat; this is My body”, they could practically visualize what it meant bcoz they had lived and walked with this Man. They had seen people without hands or feet made whole when they touched His body. (Matthew 15:30–31)

Even His clothes were soaked with His health! A woman who had a bleeding condition for 12 years — no doctor could cure her — was healed immediately when she touched the hem of His garment. If the hem of His garment was soaked with His health, vibrancy, energy and divine radiance, how much more His body!

You know, some of the most encouraging verses in the Gospels are these: “And as many as touched Him were made well” (Mark 6:56), for “power went out from Him and healed them all”. (Luke 6:19) I love those verses! That is our Jesus!

The Bible says that they put sick people along the streets, and Jesus walked around, touched them and healed them. Now, u see movie stars doing this: They run here and there, they slap their fans’ hands, but nobody gets healed. But wherever Jesus walked, whoever He touched, He healed. Picture this: A trail of people. Those in front of Jesus are lying down, but those behind Him whom He has touched are leaping with joy and following Him! That is how Jesus healed the sick.

So that night, when He said, “Take, eat; this is My body,” as He broke the bread and gave it 2 His disciples 2 eat, they knew what it meant. They were probably thinking, “We are going 2 ingest His health into our bodies! Hallelujah!”

That is what u must believe when u partake of the Holy Communion. It is not just a ritual or symbolic act. No, u must believe that He is the true bread from heaven who took your cancer, diabetes and heart disease, so that u can have His supernatural health! And when u eat of His broken body with this revelation, u will have life in abundance and the health of the Lord!
