February 29 – Draw Near
How little man knows and senses My need! My need of Love and Companionship.
I came “to draw men unto Me,” and sweet it is to feel hearts drawing near in Love, not for help, as much is for tender comradeship.
Many know the need of man; few know the need of Christ.
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice,
and open the door, I will come in to him, and will
sup with him, and he with me.” Revelation 3:20
Who’s My Mentor ? ?
Posted by Bassem W in Human spirit :), Religion on December 21, 2008
Some times i find no one to guide or to lead my spiritual life, at church there’s a youth leader, but it’s been a month 
since the group was made ,it’s supposed to be once a week, any way for the last month it was canceled each time because the leader is not availble or because someone is not coming because he had to travel for work for a while or something and we are not supposed to continue sessions with out him. anyway , this month i needed guidance the most, i was stumbling in so many ways, in so many issues , and since i needed help i couldn’t find, i prayed for God and asked who can help me ? , i am left alone, no one has time to help me ,to answer my questions, and i am having hard time now, i was astonished or shocked , because how can my spiritual life depends on someone or somepeople that at sometime they maynot be availble or here, i was sad actually and hopeless, many questions were in my mind and i couldn’t help it. Iam sure that many of you , feel the same, ( i hope you don’t actually ) but it’s was the sad truth for me, no one is surrounding to help, the answer is in the following lines in psalm 119
m Mem
97 Oh, how I love your law!
I meditate on it all day long.
98 Your commands make me wiser than my enemies,
for they are ever with me.
99 I have more insight than all my teachers,
for I meditate on your statutes.
100 I have more understanding than the elders,
for I obey your precepts.
101 I have kept my feet from every evil path
so that I might obey your word.
102 I have not departed from your laws,
for you yourself have taught me.
103 How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 I gain understanding from your precepts;
therefore I hate every wrong path.
— notice with me the first verses :
97 Oh, how I love your law!
I meditate on it all day long.
– it says here ” I meditate on it all day long” the law which is God’s words to each one of us when one meditate on them (think of them, understand them, love them, hold them by his heart”- I am starting to get a clue-
98 Your commands make me wiser than my enemies,
for they are ever with me.
– the commands of God are making me wise…
99 I have more insight than all my teachers,
for I meditate on your statutes.
– I have more insight than all my teachers
the writer is saying that he is having more insight than all his teachers for he mditates on God’ statutes
100 I have more understanding than the elders,
for I obey your precepts.
he is having more understanding than the elders because he obey’s God’s precepts.
what God told me then, that my mentor is God himself, I do need a youth leader, i do need to have a group in the church , but God is not going to leave me alone ,God is not going to leave me as a leaf carried by the wind that has no one to collect , God saying I am not leaving you , i will take care of you ,i will tell you what to do through my words , my law , my statutes my precepts, Don’t worry they will make you wise, it will give you sight, it will give you understanding,.
this is very beautiful from God, he is taking care of every one of us, when we ask him to be our mentor, it’s a great honour, a great chance to have a master a teacher who is God. so you can have God as your mentor, ask him , tell him God i want you to teach me, i want to follow your law,your commands, your satutes, your preciepts because you will give me understanding , you will give me wisdom , you will tell me what to do , and you will lead me through each day of my life through them , nothing is going to stop God’s love, God’s guidance, God’s parenthood from us, God’s love is unstopable, even when you are left alone with no one to tell you what to do, God is there ,i prayed to God i told him what to do , i have no one to take care of me, but God answered through his words telling me i am taking care of you, pray to God to take care of you , to lead you , to be your mentor, to support you, his love is incredible , his love is so pure and complete,. actually i am going to take it as for all time, take that God is my mentor, i do need the youth group and the youth leader, God is going to talk to me through them ,God is the source, if the words of the leader is not from God, they are useless, God is the source, God is the mentor, however things are bad at your group or something, God is always here , God is the source, I am going to ask God every day to be my mentor , to lead me, to tell me what to do, to help me and answer my questions, God gave us a precious gift which is the holy bible, it’s God message for each one of us every day a specific message for each one of us every day ,every minute, for every thought and every challenge and every questions. Let’s not forget that God is the great teacher , he is all in all , and he is my and your mentor.
if you want God to teach you , please pray right now, aks him to be your father ,your love, your salvation and your teacher, tell him i want you, i open my heart for you to love ,to lead and to guide me through my life. tell him all your fears, all your questions, becuase he has all the love, all the courage, all the wisdom, all the power and all the answers.
Don’t worry we are God’s sons and daughters, he loves us, he is our father, he is taking care of us, don’t let fear slip into your heart, remember that God is mighty to save, and he is stronger than any circumstances or any problems or difficulities, remeber that your lord has conquered the grave, created the heaven and the earth , he can take care of each one of us, and he loves to do so, believe him ,blieve his words, and ask him to be in your life.
God bless you all.
who do I believe ?
Posted by Bassem W in Human spirit :), Religion, Why I Am Here on November 17, 2008
hi every Body, did you ever thought before, which one you believe?, which one do you trust?, to be clear do i believe myself or God?
do i believe what the circumstances what my mind ,what the stockmarket ,what the logic say, or do i believe what God says?
the thing is that your mind tells you something , and God tells you another thing, it’s when
i am spending time at work, all my time, all my effort ,all my mind, it’s like i am consumed, this leaves you no time to be with God
to talk to him , to know his will, to serve him, this gives you no time to accept God’s gifts and blessings.
from where do i get time, i have to work, i will die of hunger, yeah i want to be with God, but i can’t i have too many things to do, i am not wasting my time in nonsence, i am working, to get the food to me and my family
this is what my mind says
but here’s what God says
Do Not Worry
22Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23Life is more than food, and the body more than
24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]? 26Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27″Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire,
how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! 29And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30For the pagan world runs after all such things,
and your Father knows that you need them. 31But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
“but seek his kingdom and these things will be given to you as well” /*God wants us to believe him , not our minds ,not our salaries, notany one, because God is the one who made the whole universe, so which one do you chose to believe?*/
God knew it, God knew that we are going to be worried about what to eat and what to wear, God knew that when all our goal is to seek those things, it will take us away from his kingdom
God said that my kingdom is your first priority, seek my kingdom and i will give you all these things, I am giving them to the lilies and the grass of the field, if i do this to the plants
what about my sons that i died for.
all this words are great, but then you say to yourself yeah that’s cool, but it is not going to work,, the logic says i have to work hard to earn all those things, but God says that if you seek his kingdom
these things will be given to you as well
so what do you choose to believe? God or our logic?
in another situation
in
psalm 91
14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
do you believe what’s God is telling you?
do you believe it? ,do youbleive if you love God he will rescue you?, he will be with you , – if you don’t love God, tell him i want to love you,, i loved God only after i knew who he is, i couldn’t help it, i loved him, all this love of God that you find in his bible, all that love to you, i couldn’t resist that love-
do you believe it? , or do you panic out and start looking for what to do,
i am not saying that you should stay at home or to sit down and watch your problems distroying you.
i am not saying so, i am saying that if you are having hard times, ask God to help you to save you, you have the lord here, you have him supporting you , and he is willing to save you and to help you
so do you believe that God can work it out, or do you believe that he can’t because i have to do that thing, or this thing can’t be fixed,, got me ?
in psalm 21 it says “even if i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i will fear no evil , for you are with me” those word are rightous, those words are true
the valley of the shadow of death, God said i will be with you even if the valley of the shadow of death, God is strong, God is mighty, God is true, God is the one who created the universe , he can and he is willing to
save you, to provide you, to be your father,your protector, to support all your needs, all of this if you let him, if you believe him , if you give him the chance to do so, if you give him the chance to work in your life
God loves to be your lord, to be your friend, to be your savior, God loves you that he died so that you can enjoy being with im again here on earth and spend your eternity with him.
of you are willing to accpet Jesus in your life, if you want him to be there with you, to be your lord ,your friend and your savior, all what you have to do
is to open your heart when he knocks on your door, you have to do nothing but letting him touch you and heal you, tell God I want to know you, I want to have you, go to a church, tell them i need a bible, and i need to know God
pray know to God ,tell him i need you to be in my life, i want to have you, lead me through my steps to you, let me hear your knocking, and be sure that all the heaven will be happy , will be selebrating
because finally you were found.
in matthew 18
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
10″See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.
12″What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off?
13And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off.
14In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.
— if you are that sheep, then God is looking for you, believe it, he is looking for you- this article is a proof that he is looking for you.
God bless you.
New experience
Posted by Bassem W in Human spirit :), Religion on November 16, 2008
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
How To Conquer
Posted by Bassem W in God Calling on October 27, 2008
From the book God Calling (www.twolisteners.org )
february 25 – How To Conquer
Joy is the sovereign balm for all the ills of the world, the spirit-cure for every ailment. There is nothing that Joy and Love cannot do.
Set your standard very high. Aim at conquering a world, the world around you. Just say, “Jesus conquers” — “Jesus saves” — in the face of every doubt, every sin, every evil, every fear.
No evil can stand against that, for there is “none other Name under Heaven given among men, whereby men can be saved.” To every thought of want or lack, “Jesus saves from poverty,” to every fear, “Jesus saves from fear.”
Do this to every ill and it will vanish, as night when the sun arises.
“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through him that loved us.” Romans 8:37
Every One's Life.
