All that matters finally is…..

 

It’s said: “The Greatest desperation is just before deliverance and

the greatest attacks just before rescue…”

 

In midst of the darkest, most difficult times in our lives may God help us to be still, be strong and hold on in faith…

Someday our hard times will end and good times will come..!

Through life’s ups and downs, let us not loose our trust in God and stop serving Him.

All that matters finally is this, to be a part of this group of uncompromising people, whose eyes are set on the King of Kings and their final destination heaven where their treasures are!

Have a blessed day…

Women are special..not just today but always….

 

Today (March 8th) is International women’s day.

Women are not special just this day..but always…!!

 To all the wives, girl-friends, fiancee, moms, daughters, sisters, grand-moms, aunts (all are special in their own way and have their own worth)

God created all and said, it was good (Gen 1:31). 

God saw man was lonely and made woman.

A woman is special and God wants to use each of us women too for HIS glory.

Rise up women of God!

You truly are…

W~WONDERFUL

   O~OUTSTANDING

M~MARVELOUS

A~ADORABLE 

N~NICE

 

 Women..

 

“” You are too special for Him to forget, too important for Him to neglect, too precious for Him to ignore. That’s why He set you before His eyes and crafted you on His palms that He might remember you forever, as long as He lives. So be not discouraged, Jesus is concerned about you always.””

 ” MY REFLECTION ” 

~Author Unknown~

I pray that I will see, 

the virtuous woman inside of me.

Gentle, faithful, bold and wise,

seeing myself through Father’s eyes.

I am changing from glory to glory,

walking in love, not fear and worry.

Generous, kind and full of peace,

my image transformed, true beauty released.

I’m being molded into his likeness,

reflecting him and his brightness.

Happy in knowing God sees the real me,

rejoicing, content and totally free ! “

Proverbs 31 woman…

( Proverbs 31:10-12 and 25-31 NIV )

A wife of noble character who can find? 

She is worth far more than rubies.

Her husband has full confidence in her 

and lacks nothing of value.

She brings him good, not harm, 

all the days of her life.

She is clothed with strength and dignity; 

she can laugh at the days to come.

She speaks with wisdom, 

and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

She watches over the affairs of her household 

and does not eat the bread of idleness.

Her children arise and call her blessed; 

her husband also, and he praises her: 

“Many women do noble things, 

but you surpass them all.” 

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; 

but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

Give her the reward she has earned, 

and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

” THE WOMAN IN THE GLASS “

(A poem…Author unknown)

When you get what you want

as your struggle for self

And the world makes you queen for a day,

Just go to the mirror and look at yourself,

And see what that woman has to say.

 

For it isn’t your father or mother or husband

Who’s judgement upon you must pass;

The person whose verdict counts most in your life

Is the one staring back from the glass.

She’s the person to please,

never mind all the rest,

For she’s with you clear up to the end.

And you’ve passed your most dangerous,

difficult test

If the woman in the glass if your friend.

You may fool the whole world down

the pathway of life,

And get pats on your back as you pass.

But your final reward will be heartache and tears

If you’ve cheated the woman in the glass !

 A woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.

So try our best to keep our Priorities right, giving God the 1st place.

We also realize that women often forget their worth. 

We are not perfect but sure women full Hope and walking towards perfection.

” Let us Love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.”(1 John 3:18)

Remember your Creator in the days of your youth…..

Hi…

God wants the YOUTH to Know Him and taste His love when they are young.

Psalm 34:8

“Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.”That’s why the Word of God says in..

1

“Remember your Creator 
       in the days of your youth, 
       before the days of trouble come 
       and the years approach when you will say, 
       “I find no pleasure in them”.

All you youth and young at heart the Lord wants to be your 1st love, He wants to be the Lord of your life because only HE can help you to fight and resist the temptations you face in your daily life.

If you are His child know that…your body is the “Temple of the Holy Spirit”

1 Corinthians 6:19,

“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;”

Your heart belongs to Jesus. He has paid an infinite price for your soul.

He loves you with an everlasting love.

A young heart is a Precious offering to the Lord, the most valuable gift that can be presented to our Savior.

Is there anyone out there (I mean young people) who still do not know Jesus as your personal Savior??

Go to Him as you are, give your heart to Jesus. He will wash you with His Precious Blood. As you confess your sins, repent, He will cleanse you of all your past sins.

He will write your name in the Book of Life.

You will receive Eternal Life.

 

JESUS WANTS YOU TO LIVE A HOLY, SANCTIFIED LIFE FOR HIM.

He will help you walk the Narrow Path. Just cling on to Him.

Today He wants to Raise the standard of Holiness in your life.

Even as the world around gets darker and darker, He wants you to be the Light and shine out for JESUS.

Satan too wrestles hard for an young heart. He wants to catch them young…Jesus knows that and wants to help beat the enemy’s temptations and so says…

“Remember your Creator 
       in the days of your youth.”

Stay Blessed,

YSIC,

Julia

11 months down…18 days to go….

Hi..

Greetings…

Eleven months down and just 18 days more and the curtain falls to end 2013.

The door will shut to 2013 and a new door will open to step into 2014.

 

Some questions we can ask ourselves~

What have we done for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ this year?

His commission to us was,

Mark 16:15

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.

He also said in

Matthew 24:14

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

How many lives have we touched and made a difference to?

Have we shared the gospel to those who have not heard about the saving grace of our Lord, this year?

How much have we grown spiritually?

Has our relationship with Jesus Christ our Saviour grown stronger? Do we know Him better than last year?

How much of our time,forgiveness, love, joy, laughter, money, material things, prayer and other good things have we sown in the Kingdom and the lives of others? (For we reap what we sow!)

His greatest commandment was,

Matthew 22:36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

How many of our new year resolutions have we fulfilled?

I think it’s good we took a stock of our life today.

Then we can step into new year with a new vision and get ready to do all that we can for our Lord Jesus Christ, His Kingdom, our family, friends and for those who still need to hear the Word of God! 

So in the next few days let’s…..

 At least share the GOOD NEWS to one person who does not know Jesus. How will they know if we don’t tell them?

 Sow our time, love, prayer for the Kingdom’s extension and in the lives of people who are dear to us, for the lost and for the Nations!

 Get closer to God by spending more time reading HIS WORD, meditating on it, in prayer and listening to HIS voice.

 Take time off everything to sit at HIS feet and receive strength and anointing to step into a new year. A 3 days of fasting (partial or total) and prayer is a good idea!

 Let’s let go of things  of the world that hold on to us and slow us down in our spiritual walk.

 Let’s visit the people we promised we would but never made it.

 Let’s forgive the people who hurt us and forget all that upset us. Let’s try to get right with anybody we have problem relating too, even if that person doesn’t want to forgive and forget, let’s just release all ill feelings and love them, if they still hold bitterness against us let’s not worry about it but walk in freedom.

Luke 6:28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

 Let’s try to complete a part of our pending  new year resolutions (If we had made any!!) the rest we can carry it on to the next years list (if we want to!!).

 Let’s give quality time to do the Lord’s work, for family and friends.

 If the Lord had been urging us to do something and we’ve been putting it off..LET’S DO IT NOW!

The time to stand up for our Lord and Savior JESUS/ YESHUA is NOW.

We have just a short opportunity to witness for CHRIST and live for HIM.

If ever you ought to read the BIBLE, meditate on HIS word, FAST, pray and win souls….it has to be NOW!!

Come on…let’s get going!

Let’s be obedient to HIS Voice if we hear it! 

Hebrews 3:15As has just been said: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.”

Heb:3: 7-8: ‘So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion,  during the time of testing in the desert.”

Let’s ask God to break us, remake us and use us for His Glory 

Be Blessed

Julia

 

 

Shut off, pause, be still to hear God!

 

We sure need to pray at all times for all things.

Prayer sure is a heart to heart communication with God! Our relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ, sure is strengthened by frequent conversations with Him! Even if our prayers are long or short, loud or soft whispers, God listens! Even being silent in His presence or tears shed at His feet are prayers too! Let us not miss talking to our Lord n Savior! 

 

But sometimes we need to shut off the sounds of the world to hear God clearly. Sometimes there are so…many confusing voices around that we need to go into our closets to hear the voice of truth. 

Matthew 6:6, “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

 

Regularly let us take time to shut off and seek His face as never before.

Mark 6:31 And He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while.”

LORD..HELP US TO TAKE TIME OFF FROM ALL OUR BUSY SCHEDULE,TO STOP AND BE REFRESHED, RENEWED, RESTORED BY STAYING STILL IN YOUR PRESENCE AND HEAR YOUR VOICE!

Good Night!

Julia

 

Let us pray…

Prayer sure is a heart to heart communication with God!

Our relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ, sure is strengthened by frequent conversations with Him!

Even if our prayers are long or short, loud or soft whispers, God listens!

Even being silent in His presence or tears shed at His feet are prayers too!

Let us not miss talking to our Lord and Savior this day!

Let us pray..

Julia

Just one mission…

 

 

Someone said,

Quote”If You have born only once,you’ll die twice; 

but if you’ve been born 

twice,you will die only once.”

If we are born twice(physically and born again 

spiritually) we will die once 

physically.

But if one is born only once (physically) then will 

die physically and then 

spiritually, the 2nd death(Rev 20:14).

Our Lord Jesus Christ suffered and gave His life 

on the cross and rose again 

on the 3rd day so that those accept Him and 

believe in His saving grace,will 

not die spiritually but have life everlasting! 

We have just one mission and commission on 

earth, to tell the world about our 

Lord’s saving grace!

Let’s get about our Heavenly Father’s  Business…

Let’s try our best to carry His Word all over but 

we can never really do anything without His help….

Our Savior’s nail pierced hands guides and leads 

us…

Let’s hear God’s call and serve the King!

Let us stay connected to God in prayer…

 

The enemy just tries his best to keep us from talking to God..

But let us not stop talking to our Lord Jesus Christ…

Prayer is our life line that keeps us connected to our power source…God!!

Let’s keep praying and believing and experiencing, God’s love, His power, His peace..and all that He has is for us…

Joy comes in the morning….

“Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.”~Thomas Moore(1779-1852)

God’s Word is always a great source of comfort and the Holy Spirit’s voice a great source of encouragement and God’s presence in and around us, a great source of our strength in midst of testing times.

“Weeping may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning”(Psalm 30:5)

The place God’s leading us to is beautiful and it is a place He promises to wipe our tears away….

The sufferings in this world are light compared to what is in store for us!!

 

His Word helps us to endure the trials and testing times of this moment…!

2 Corinthians 4:17, “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.”

He will never leave or forsake us, even in midst of our darkest moments, His eyes are on us.

God’s Word says in Matthew 10:29-31, “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” 

If not a sparrow falls without God knowing, how much more He will care for us!

Trusting in our Lord Jesus Christ, may not always remove the hurdles we face or make mountains smaller.

But it sure make our running and climbing easier.

We may be walking a desert pathway or on a narrow road,

but when our trust is in our Lord and our eyes are fixed on Him, we know He will finally leads to the beautiful place (Heaven); because He is the author and finisher of our lives!

Be blessed this day and week,

Julia
