hi there friends,
Through my relationship with God which is still not for long time ( I have accepted Jesus Christ 4 months ago) , I have found that there are may sickness in my soul, or deseases, or drawbacks or errors, actually i don’t know what should i name it,i’ll call them (défaut) which is a french word that means flaw, those flaws are in my character,they only appear in my relationship with God, they don’t reflect or appear while i am dealing with people , not because i am a two face, but because those features only appear while i am dealing with God, those are like
when Jesus talks to me through many things, the bible, a preacher,a friend, a spiritual book, through the holy spirit, and I don’t listen, and i Know that God is telling me something now, but I don’t get it, I don’t get what God is telling me, how can i fix this ?,,,,,,,Impatience, when God wants me to have quiet time , or God when I don’t get God’s will for some times,also, when i Don’t get God’s wisdom of something, when i am blind to see what God is showing me, all those things, I am not always impatient, I am not always deaf, but it happens, and it annoys me,but actually the only one who can fix those things is Jesus, Stick to him and he will fix you, actually he fixes me everytime something like this happens, and the answer and the hope are in his words, the hope that all those flaws and defaut that are in me are going to be fixed ,and they are not going to be an obstacle between me and God, every time those things come , i pray, i pray that God fix me, and i pray that i can wait for his healing, and i pray that i make the best of it, Jesus wants to heal me, and you , and everyone who is having those flaws, and here’s the hope and the love of God in those next lines
in matthew 11
Jesus is telling me, and telling you , and telling everyone who is in the same situation ,every one who experience it, Jesus is saying if you are blind , if you can’t see me if you can’t see what i am showing you, call on me and i will give you site,you will receive it, if you are lame, and can’t walk in my way , call on me and you will walk, if your sins are bringing your soul leprosy, if you are stenched with sin,call on me and i will cure you, If you are deaf , can’t hear what i am saying to you , call on me and i will make you hear,if you are dead, if you feel like you are dying, if you feel like you it’s over and you are done, call on me and i will raise you,,if you are waiting for the good news, you will have it….
God is giving hope to each one of us, don’t be discouraged, whatever things are bad inside of you, Jesus can heal you,
trust God, trust him, he can heal you, pray to him in those bad times, tell him i need you, i need you.
in psalm 55 :22 Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you;
he will never let the righteous fall.
stick to the Lord and he will save you, in psalm 56 :
13 For you have delivered my soul from death
and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.
Jesus can deliver your soul even from death, and hold your feet from stumbling, just stick to him, always your eyes are upon God, Your help comes from God : read this message from the Lord , it’s from a book named God calling
November 19 – Hills of the Lord
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh form the Lord, which made heaven and earth. Psalm 12:1,2
Yes! always raise your eyes, from earth’s sordid and mean and false, to the Hills of the Lord. From poverty, lift your eyes to the Help of the Lord.
In moments of weakness, lift your eyes to the Hills of the Lord.
Train your sight by constantly getting this long view. Train it to see more and more, further and further, until distant peaks seem familiar.
The Hills of the Lord. The Hills whence comes your help. A parched earth looks to the Hills for its rivers, its streams, its life. So look you to the Hills. From those Hills comes Help. Help from the Lord – who made Heaven and earth.
So, for all your spiritual needs, look to the Lord, who made Heaven, and for all your temporal needs look to Me, owner of all this, the Lord who made the earth.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. James 4:10
the official site of the book where you can read it : www.twolisteners.org ,, God bless you all, and always have hope in God, for he can ,wants and loves to help
New experience

i am going to tell you something , that happened to me, it’s real i am not telling a story from my mind,
the thing that i guess that many of you passed through the same situation.
with out any alert or something, one day ( which is today , the day i am writing this), i felt that i have lost contact with God, i felt that he is in a place and i am in a totally far away different place.
i felt this because every day , God talks to me, or gives me something to do, God gives me a new lesson, a new blessing, the feeling that God is here beside me. all of this was lost, suddenly.
i was so confused, what’s wrong? what did i do that drove God away, i can’t feel him at all,, this is strange, i have been with God for 3 and half months now, and never felt that he is away this way, what’s wrong, i couldn’t find an answer, i prayed, got some peace, but still don’t know what’s wrong,
all the day i was at home, i guess i didn’t do something that drove God that far, what’s wrong?
then i got scared, i thought what now, oh no, i am going to be back to my previous life, i am separated from God now, and i don’t know what did so, oh no , i am going back to my sins and my sadness and pain i had before i am born again in christ, i freaked out, i was so confused, actually i don’t wish that i pass through this again, i was totally confused, i couldn’t ask God for help because i felt that he is so far away, i felt that he is far and his promises are gone far with him, it was so disturbing,
but then i told one of my friends, ” i am so confused” “help me”, she said what’s wrong? i answered, i lost contact with God , i can’t feel that he is close as before, it’s like he is in another place,
she told me this is wrong, this feeling is not from your heart, the devil is pushing those feelings in it, but it is a lie,she told me the devil is fighting you, if you are not ready to fight then surrender , if you want to fight , then ask God’s help, but this feeling is not real, the devil is giving it to you , so that you return to your life before christ, who is lighting your life right now, i told her ” but i don’t know how to fight” , she answered by praying, by resisting even forcing yourself to fight, by the word of God( the holy bible) ,by praying, by love ,,you can fight with all of that, she told me the sign of the cross burns the devil always sign yourself with it( in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit, one God amen.) some of tears started to fall from my eyes, i told her , then what did i do so all of that happens to me ? she replied , nothing all what you did that you opened your heart to God, and this drove the devil crazy,so the devil told himself that I should bring that boy back to me.
then she told me that if you find yourself fighting the devil ,you should be happy, because God is making you stronger, God is rising your place in his heart up.
after that conversation, i went to my room, turned the lights off, closed the door, i held my cross and the cross i was wearing , my knees were on the floor but my arms were on my bed, and i started crying , and i was telling God, God i am not able to face this, i am scared and i was doing the cross sign, over and over again, and i was saying , God protect me i am not able to face what’s happening, i am your son, come plz, and i was saying in Jesus name, and crying and telling God, i am scared , and surrounding me i was feeling that God is holding me between his arms, and i am a little kid, and it’s like God made an invisible wall and the devil is trying to get through it but the devil can’t, it was like i can hear the voice of the devil’ collison with the wall and the devil can’t wait to crush me, but i was in God’s arms and i was crying, after being in this fo a while, i calmed down( the peace of God) , then i saw something in my head, it is not i vision i guess but it’s like God is showing me his thought or talk, it was like an angel holding a baby in a little cradle, and the angel was telling me you are that little baby, whenever the devil tries to mess with you, all you have to do is to cry, and your father ( jesus) will come to you and protect you.
all of this was in about 25 minutes. i felt that for the first time i has beaten the devil , actually God is the one who did, but i felt that i survived the fight, and i was victorious, i felt that i want to praise God and i was thanking him a lot and praising him,,, Jesus only allowed this to happen to me , so that i experience his victory , to experience getting my power from him, to experience a new love from him, and that is so beautiful.
actuall the psalm 116,117,118 were the ones i read, and actually i felt every word of them, 118 was very beautiful ::
Psalm 116
1 I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.
2 Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death entangled me,
the anguish of the grave came upon me;
I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD :
“O LORD, save me!”
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.
6 The LORD protects the simplehearted;
when I was in great need, he saved me.
7 Be at rest once more, O my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you.
8 For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,
9 that I may walk before the LORD
in the land of the living.
10 I believed; therefore I said,
“I am greatly afflicted.”
11 And in my dismay I said,
“All men are liars.”
12 How can I repay the LORD
for all his goodness to me?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the LORD.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD
is the death of his saints.
16 O LORD, truly I am your servant;
I am your servant, the son of your maidservant ;
you have freed me from my chains.
17 I will sacrifice a thank offering to you
and call on the name of the LORD.
18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts of the house of the LORD—
in your midst, O Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD.
Psalm 117
1 Praise the LORD, all you nations;
extol him, all you peoples.
2 For great is his love toward us,
and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever.
Praise the LORD.
Psalm 118
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
2 Let Israel say:
“His love endures forever.”
3 Let the house of Aaron say:
“His love endures forever.”
4 Let those who fear the LORD say:
“His love endures forever.”
5 In my anguish I cried to the LORD,
and he answered by setting me free.
6 The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
7 The LORD is with me; he is my helper.
I will look in triumph on my enemies.
8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in man.
9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in princes.
10 All the nations surrounded me,
but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
11 They surrounded me on every side,
but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
12 They swarmed around me like bees,
but they died out as quickly as burning thorns;
in the name of the LORD I cut them off.
13 I was pushed back and about to fall,
but the LORD helped me.
14 The LORD is my strength and my song;
he has become my salvation.
15 Shouts of joy and victory
resound in the tents of the righteous:
“The LORD’s right hand has done mighty things!
16 The LORD’s right hand is lifted high;
the LORD’s right hand has done mighty things!”
17 I will not die but live,
and will proclaim what the LORD has done.
18 The LORD has chastened me severely,
but he has not given me over to death.
19 Open for me the gates of righteousness;
I will enter and give thanks to the LORD.
20 This is the gate of the LORD
through which the righteous may enter.
21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me;
you have become my salvation.
22 The stone the builders rejected
has become the capstone;
23 the LORD has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25 O LORD, save us;
O LORD, grant us success.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD.
From the house of the LORD we bless you.
27 The LORD is God,
and he has made his light shine upon us.
With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession
up to the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God, and I will give you thanks;
you are my God, and I will exalt you.
29 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
——
well you may think that this science fiction but it is real, because one’s mind says something and God says the opposite thing, and God is the one that all of us should believe.
I love you whoever is reading
God bless you
