Jesus: The Light Of The World

Are you living in darkness, alone, confused? You grope like a blind man because it
seems you can't find your way out. Or maybe you have been living only for yourself.
Finally you have come to your senses and you want to get out of that hole.
You search to find an answer, but don't know who to turn to. But there is hope!
Our Savior Jesus Christ came to rescue us from our darkest hour!

Because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come
to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death,
To guide our feet into the path of peace.  (Luke 1:78-79) (Psalms 118:27,97:11)
(Luk 2:32) (Acts 26:23)


The True Light that gives light to everyman was coming into the world.
(John 1:9)
"I Am the Light of the world. Whoever believes in me
will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." 
 (John 8:12)

I have come into the world as a Light, so that no one who believes in me should stay
in darkness.  (John 12:36) (1John1:9)


# Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior yet?
   Are you still sitting in darkness and refusing to come to Him?
   God wants you to come out of that darkness and come into the light of His Son
   Jesus Christ. Do not think that God will not forgive you of your sins because
   it is too great? These are the lies of satan! God will accept you if you give your
   life to Him. Confess to God and ask for his forgiveness.
   (read Isa.60:1, Eph.5:13-14)

* And those who received Him. Let us continue to walk in the Light of the Lord.
   (Isa.2:5) (Psalms 4:6) (2Cor.4:6)

The People living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land

of the shadow of death a light has dawned.  (Mat. 4:16, Isa.9:2)

I Am the Resurrection and the Life

"I am the resurrection and the Life. He who believes
  in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever
  lives and believes in me will never die." 
   (John 11:25)

LOVE JESUS...

The Kingdom of God Is Within You

Jesus the Lamb of God
"Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
(John 1:29, 36) (read also Heb.1:1-2, 14,John 1:45)
Did you know that it is really within you...within your grasp... THE KINGDOM OF GOD?!!
The kingdom of God is in you, the minute you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
It is the fruit of your salvation. God has saved and called people from all the nations to
accomplish his purpose and to draw people to Himself.

* He baptized them with the Holy Spirit (John 1:33)
* He Equipped and enabled them to minister to one another by giving them different
   gifts according to His will. (1Cor.12:4-11)
* He teaches us about the secrets of the kingdom of God, when we seek Him first and
   follow Him. (Mat.6:33,Luk.12:31)
* He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.  (Heb.11:6)

Isn't it wonderful that God has called us to serve Him and to be a part of His plan!
We have a purpose on this earth, and it is to serve Him. To proclaim the good news
of His salvation through His Son Jesus Christ. He wants all mankind to come to
repentance and be saved. (Mat.4:17)

The Year of the Lord's Favor..."Do you want to get well?"

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has annointed me,
To preach good news to the poor, He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
To proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.
To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God,
To comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion--
To bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,
The oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of
a spirit of despair.  (Isaiah 61:1-3,49:8-9)

God has spoken concerning the coming salvation through His Son Jesus Christ and
has fulfilled his promise. 

(Luke 4:16-21)
He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went
into the synogogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read.
The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where
it is written:
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to preach
  good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
 and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclain the
 year of the Lord's favor."
Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down.
The eyes of everyone in the synogogue were fastened on him, and he began by saying
to them, "Today this scripture is fullfilled in your hearing."   


Amen. Praise God! What God promises us... He always fulfills.
God has sent His Son Jesus Christ so that through Him we can be healed and free. 
Those who feel that there is no hope can see true hope...Those who feel they have no
value to God...will see that Jesus died for them personally. He came to free us from
our guilt for the sins we have committed, and better yet...to give us an abundant life.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they might
have life and have it to the full. (John 10:10)

Do you need deliverance from your bondage? Do you want to get well? (John 4:6)
Ask God to help you and then open your heart. Trust in Him, knowing that He is the only
One who can set you free. Ask Him to forgive your sins, and live your life for Him.
God Promised: I will extend peace to her like a river. (Isaiah 66:12)

Jesus has invited us all to come to Him:
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
(Mathew 11:28-29)

Because He Lives

Because He Lives/ God Who Holds the Future

Yes He Lives! Let us tune in on the powerful message of this song title,
"Because He Lives I can Face Tomorrow." As we reflect on these words,
 think about His love. He cared about us so much that He wants what is best for us all.
Come to Him and take hold of this gracious gift of life through his Son Jesus Christ.
He is the One who will help us in the time of our need. We will have tribulation...but God
will uphold us. For those who belong to Jesus Christ, He has given us these sure words:

"I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out
  of my hand. My father, who has given them to me, is greater than all;
  No one can snatch them out of my Father's hand."  (John 10:28-29)

What about you? Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?
(read Romans10:6-13, John 3:16-18)

God Who Holds The Future

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink;
or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food,
and the body more important than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable
than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow.
They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his
splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass
of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire,
will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’
or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your
heavenly Father knows that you need them.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be
given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow
will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. 
(Mathew 6:25-34)

Note: The flowers is not lilies, I took this picture at the park, I wish I can
find lilies. I just imagine some kind of white flowers that will do good
to the verse that I selected. God bless you all!

Feeling like God is Distant?

I don't know about you, but sometimes in my life I start asking,
"Where is God?". I begin to feel like He is nowhere to be found. He's not answereing
my prayers anymore. Has He forgotten me? Nothing seems to be going right for me.
I wish I never moved here...and the list go on and on.

There may be some reasons why:
First, we must examine ourselves. The scripture says in Psalms 139:23-24:
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Second, we may have wrong motives?  (James 4:3)
When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you
may spend what you get on your pleasures.

Third, Everything in God's time! We have to wait for it patiently.
"In the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you." 
(Isa.49:8, 2 Cor.6:2)

When I am feeling this way, I begin to remember the great things God has done for me.
This really helps me to stay focused on Him, so that I don't allow doubt to affect my
relationship with Him. No matter what my circumstances are...I will trust in Him and
always know that He loves me!

When David was waiting for God to help him, He remembered his happy times with God.
 Let's look at Psalms:

Then I thought, "To this I will appeal: the years of the right hand of the Most High."
I will remeber the deeds of the Lord; Yes, I will remeber your miracles of long ago.
I will meditate on all your works, and consider all your mighty deeds.
(77:10-12,5,143:5)

I remember your ancient laws, O Lord. And I find comfort in them.  (119:50)
I will listen to what God the Lord will say, He promises peace to his people, his saints.
(85:8,55:13-14)

* Let us continue to be faithful in prayer to God. Try to cherish the years when He has
   done mighty things in your life. Don't let the devil trick you. Don't give up on God.
