Gethsemane

Anguished spirit.
Tortured mind.
Sweat and tears.
Drops of blood.

For me.

"He said, “Father, if it can be done, take away what must happen to Me. Even so, not what I want, but what You want.” An angel from heaven came and gave Him strength. His heart was much troubled and He prayed all the more. Water ran from His face like blood and fell to the ground." Luke 22:42-44

   The passion about to come He faced willingly
   Prayers, cries, submission He did that I may see
   The cost it took that I may live
   And know the depth of His love for me

   To share in His sufferings is my portion
   So I'll gladly made a bold decision
   To carry my cross as I follow Him
   Enduring every pain for the fame of His Name

Inexhaustible Grace

Never think that you have exhausted God's grace. A mind driven by law and performance thinks that it may have received much of God's goodness and that it came to the point where there's nothing left and God has already given up on him. Grace still powerfully does its work when you fail. Where sin abounds, grace superabounds.

The Spirit of grace carries you in every season. It is equivalent to what you are going through. Grace=struggle; grace=sin; grace=doubts; grace=dreams. Grace builds up.

All the days of your life God's goodness and mercy cover you. Are you in the desert? God's covering is upon you. Are you struggling with doubts? Remember that in God's grace He has not given you over to the doubt. Grace never fails

Knowing the One Who Knows Everything

          "Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe       that thou camest forth from God." (KJV)

          Jesus--the truth. No lie comes from the truth. When we see Jesus we gaze at the truth. No heaviness, deceit, manipulation. Just peace. We ourselves will be affected. We won't be pretentious. We'll be truthful and naked as a child. We won't be deceived with appearances; we'll love substance. We will rest cause we are relying on the One who knows everything. No need to know everything, just know the ONE who knows everything!

Seeing Differently

   When He is the center of our focus, we see things differently--with the eyes of faith and not as they are. We see things with eyes made holy, as God sees them. Everything makes sense in the light of His presence.

   Stilled by His radiance. Consumed by it, sin is effortlessly repulsed.

When God comes

Every storm will cease
Every wind will die down
All fears will be stilled 
When He comes 
With healing in His hands

Every horrible and dark aspect in our lives
His beauty can dampen

Doubt and Faith

Doubt points you to the dark side.
Doubt blinds you. You can't see the victories.
Doubt locks you in the dungeon of fear.
Doubt hinders you to enter His presence.

Joy is the city, faith is the gate.
Jesus doesn't want you to trust your senses but
To take hold of what your eyes of faith have seen
Faith is the ticket to your destiny.

Who Touched My Clothes?

Mark 5:25-34

   Have you experienced spending much money for a certain cause?

   Many of us tried to save money to buy celfones, gadgets and things we need. We also spend much of our allowance to go online (facebook, DOTA, etc.)
   
   Some of us don’t mind spending much to get beautiful (parlor, dress, polo) For these efforts to save and spend we enjoy their benefits.
Yet this certain woman spent all she had and yet didn’t get what she needed. Worse, she ended up suffering.

   She suffered from hemorrhage for almost 12 years and had been looking for cure.  She spent all she had to get healed yet she was frustrated. Imagine the pain of seeing your savings fly by just because of an illness. Feel the discouragement of not getting the healing you’ve been longing to experience.

   News about Jesus reached her and when she heard it, she didn’t hesitate to go with the crowd. She didn’t doubt His power and simply believed that Jesus was able to heal her. This time, she did the ultimate step of faith---she touched Jesus’ clothes. Jesus, feeling that the power came out of Him, looked for the woman and declared healing, peace and freedom.

   Maybe right now you are experiencing a situation seemingly impossible to overcome. You may have a problem in your family or maybe you are having a hard time with one of your subjects. Or you’ve been wondering where you are going to get the money for your tuition fee.

   Worse, for a very long time you’ve been asking God to heal you. You’ve been worried how you might be happy again since your close friend left you.

   Due to these things we end up tired, and some of us do the best that we can yet nothing happens. We end up down and hopeless.

   What gave the woman hope? It was Jesus. She heard about Him--that He works miracles and He is able to heal. She believed right away that He is able.

   You need not lose hope because you have Jesus. If you know Him, you will trust Him. In which area in your life do you need to trust Him?

   Don’t limit what God can do cause He has got all the power to heal, free and restore you. He gives provision, wisdom or strength to those who ask Him. Mind you, He has got a lot to give. He has got the ability and willingness to meet your every need. Some people are willing to help us just like the doctors who tried to heal her, yet they have limitations. God is able, all we need is to tap into His power. Just like the woman who reached out and touched Jesus’ clothes, we need to make a step of faith as well.

   When Jesus felt the power had gone out from Him, He tried to find the one who tapped into it. Our act of faith catches God’s attention . Faith paves the way for God’s power to move in your life. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been suffering or how big the problem is; His power flows to those who reach out to Him in faith.

    In what area in your life you need to have your faith activated?
