First The Spiritual

From the book God Calling (www.twolisteners.org )

May 15 – First The Spiritual

What can I say to you?  Your heart is torn.  Then remember “He bindeth up the broken hearts.”  Just feel the tenderness of My Hands as I bind up your wounds.  

You are very privileged, both of you.  I share My plans and secrets with you and make known to you My Purposes, while so many have to grope on.

Try to rest on these words.  “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”  Then strive not for them, but untiringly, for the things of My Kingdom.

It is so strange to you mortals, you would think the material things first and then grow into the knowledge of Spiritual things. Not so in My Kingdom.  It is spiritual things first and then material. So to attain the material redouble your efforts to acquire the Spiritual.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath sent me to heal 
the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, … to
 set at liberty them that are bruised.  Luke 4:18

The Rest Of God

From the book God Calling (www.twolisteners.org )

May 8 – The Rest of God

I lead you. The way is clear. Go forward unafraid. I am beside you. Listen, listen, listen to My Voice. My Hand is controlling all.

Remember that I can work through you better when you are at rest. Go very slowly, very quietly from one duty to the next – taking the time to rest and pray between.

Do not be too busy. Take all in order as I say. The Rest of God is in a realm beyond all man’s activities. Venture there often, and you will indeed find Peace and Joy.

All work that results from resting with God is miracle-work.  Claim the power to work miracles, both of you.

Know that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Nay, more, know that you can do all things through Christ who rests you.

And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse … and his rest shall be glorious.  Isaiah 11:10

 

Bless Your Enemies

From the book God Calling (www.twolisteners.org )

April 25 – Bless Your EnemiesSay often, “God bless . . . ,” of any whom you find in disharmony with you, or whom you desire to help. Say it, willing that showers of blessings and joy and success may fall upon them.Leave to Me that necessary correcting or training; you must only desire joy and blessing for them. At present your prayers are that they should be taught and corrected.

Oh! If My children would leave My work to Me and occupy themselves with the task I give them. Love, love, love. Love will break down all your difficulties. Love will build up all your successes.

God the destroyer of evil, God the creator of good — is Love. To Love one another is to use God in your life. To use God in your life is to bring into manifestation all harmony, beauty, joy, and happiness.

“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you, and persecute you.” Matthew 5:44

Golden Opportunity

From the book God Calling (www.twolisteners.org )

April 12 – Golden Opportunity

I am your Guide. Strength and help will come to you; just trust Me wholly.

Fear not. I am evermore ready to hear than you to ask. Walk in My ways, and know that help will come.

Man’s need is God’s chance to help. I love to help and save. Man’s need is God’s golden opportunity for him of letting his faith find expression. That expression of faith is all that God needs to manifest His Power. Faith is the Key that unlocks the storehouse of God’s resources.

My faithful servants, you long for perfection and see your bitter failures. I see faithfulness, and as a mother takes the soiled, imperfect work of her child and invests it with perfection because of the sweet love, so I take your poor faithfulness and crown it with perfection.

“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we 
ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” Ephesians 3:20

 

All Is Well

From the book God Calling (www.twolisteners.org )

 

March 21  – All Is Well

Remember My Words to My disciples, “This kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” Can you tread the way I trod? Can you drink of My cup? “All is well.” Say always, “All is well.”

Long though the way may seem, there is not one inch too much. I, your Lord, am not only with you on the journey – I planned, and am planning, the journey.

There are Joys unspeakable in the way you go. Courage – courage – courage.

“Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet
 believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.” – 1 Peter 1:8

Guidance Is Guidance

From the book God at eventide (www.twolisteners.org )

March 15 – Guidance Is Guidance

Be still before Me. How often in a crisis man rushes hither and thither. Rush is a sign of weakness. Quiet abiding is a sign of strength.

A few quiet actions, as you are led to do them, and all is accomplished wisely and rightly, more quickly and more effectually than could be done by those who rush about and act feverishly.

Guidance IS Guidance, the being led, the being shown the way. Believe this.

Softly across life’s tumult, comes a gentle Voice, “Peace, be still.” The waves of difficulty will hear. They will fall back. There will be a great calm.

And then the Still Small Voice of Guidance.

You are complete

March 13 – You Are Complete

Be happy in Me. Feel that your life is complete in Me. Know the Joy of a friendship in which those who love Me share.

Know a glad contentment in the security of your protected and guided life. Value the Power that Union with Me gives you.

The greatest power that money, fame, or position of the world can give, still leaves the possessor but as a child beating helpless hands against an impregnable fortress, as compared with the Power of My Spirit, which can render a follower of Mine himself an invincible, an all-conquering force.

How to Glorify God

The highest form of worship to God is to obey Him. By honoring Him in our thoughts, words, and actions, we can glorify Him with our lives.

The Bible says in Colossians 3:17, “Whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and in [dependence upon] His Person, giving praise to God the Father through Him.” AMP

This is the key to everyday Christian life. Regardless of whether we go to school, church, work, or stay home, whatever we do should be in honor of the Lord. Not everything that we do is in and of itself spiritual, per se, but we can bring glory to God in both the largest and smallest actions that we take. Here are some ways that we can practically do everything in the name of Jesus.

Have a song on your heart. Is there a song from church that you just love, or a psalm in the Bible that brings your peace or joy? Think about it throughout the day and praise God in your heart. That way no matter what you do, your mind if focused on Him.

Be prayerful.Communicating with God is easy when you know that he can see and hear everything, even the deepest of our thoughts. Telling Him, whether it be out loud or in our thoughts, about what we are feeling will keep us connected with Him. If you are angry, pray about it, and you will find it easier to deal with. Also, praying for the people that you encounter during your day is also a great way to bring honor to God just by going through the day.

Do your best. If you are working on something, doing chores, studying, or at your job, do it as if you are doing it for God’s glory. In reality, you will be. It can be a testimony that God is motivating you, blessing the work of your hands, and gifting you with the ability to do whatever it is you are doing well.

Avoid complaining and worry. Having a bad attitude about things doesn’t make God look good. Look at the bright side of things, and don’t mumble about how much you don’t like certain things. Worry is wasted energy, just like complaining is. It is a much better testimony to the goodness and ability of God if you pray about your concerns and trust that God will take care of you. Getting stressed, feeling hopeless, and worrying does happen sometimes, but don’t stay there. Pray and get out of the worrying-ditch. Your faith in the Lord with inspire others, and glorify God.

Be kind to others. A smile can go a long way. Be nice to people, be patient with them, and be courteous. These days there are more and more people who are proud, rude, and in a rush. Stand out and be kind. Doing nice things for other people is a way to be a witness to the goodness of Jesus. You can really brighten someone’s day and make them feel special. If that doesn’t bring glory to God, I don’t know what does!

Overall, do the things that you know will please God, and avoid the things you know won’t reflect well on Him. After all, as a Christian, you are representing Him. Honor the Lord in everything that you say and do, and His light and glory will shine through you.

the Hope is gone

feeling no hope, is the worst feeling ever a man can experience, to know that tomorrow nothing good is going to be, no light is going to shine nothing is going to change, not your faith,not your job ,not your love, not your sin, nothing is going to shine, well i experienced this feeling for so long, although i am just 20, but  i have felt this for more  than a year, to believe me ill show you in the next few lines some of my poems i wrote at those times.:

*

give me a broken wing
to help me hard hit the ground
chain my waist to my load of pain
to fall faster with  no sound,,, this is from a one named dead end

*

no body cares
no one gives a damn
no body’s fare
no one gives a damn
coz nobody is there

cry alone , sing for the pain
choke alone, dream in vain

where are you my angel do you exist at least

am i a stranger or did i made you leave.

this was from a poem named gates of hell and angels.

the point is ,  many people in this world feeling hopeless, or depressed, it’s a truth and we can not deny it,

but is there a way out? who can ever fix this, will that man continue living in his darkness, in his addiction, in his sin, in his pain?.

to be honest i thought that is what is going to happen to me, that is who i am, i even thought that this is what my life is meant for, this is what i belong to, that’s why i was created.

i had no hope in God, i said that i am a sinner, what would he do with some one like me……..

are you feeling that the hope is gone, all  i can tell you , is that God is the only one who can turn your  dark days into heaven on earth.

I am telling you this because you need it, you need to know that God is hope, you need to know that God is the one who is going to remove your sin, God is the only one who will change your tears into joy, he is the only one who loves you that he died for you, he is the only truth in this world full of  lies, he is the true light ,and he is the true life,

he never leaves, he never forsakes, his love will free you, he is the only one who can free you. my only advice to you, listen to this advice from the one who said no body cares and no body gives a damn. Jesus is the answer,, if you don’t believe me i can show you all my dark thoughts in my poems, i can show you all the despiration and the anger, the pain, the hunger of rest, the sin,the guild, the whole filthy dark load i was carrying on my head, i can show you all of this.

Jesus is the answer, he is welcoming you right now, to give your life to him, all he wants is to show you how much he loves you ,and how much his love can embrace you and feel you safe.

please read the following poem, and remember it’s from me, the same man who said

give me a broken wing
to help me hard hit the ground
chain my waist to my load of pain
to fall faster with  no sound,,,

:::the poem is named welcome home:

it’s not enough, the life i own
it isn’t tough,but i am far away from home

much is given to me, nothing’s pure to satisfy
what can’t i see, what’s missed by my eye

i tried everythin , from the black to the white
even enjoyed my sin, and losing my sight
traveled through the world in my mind
searched for satisfaction i can’t find
& didn’t know , what should be left behind
writing my fears through every night
spending hours thinking of what can give me the might
but even my teares weren’t that bright

tried to reach God , but it never worked
he was the only one who ever supported

as my ways failed,as life stood still
as my world braked,as days got ill
as my words shacked, as truth to fill

Jesus showed me the way , i’m the truth and the light
revealed himself that day, i’m your father , your christ
surrender to me, and i will give you my light
believe when i say , i’m your lord your christ

i will touch you ,i’ll heal all your pain
i will forgive you, no longer you will be the same

accept me , accept my presence in you
love me, & i’ll show you what to do

I’m your savior , the one you were looking for
it’s a shame ,you nevered heared my knock on your door
but you finaly opened, no longer you will be the same as before
you were drowning in a sea, it’s the time to take you to the shore

you were right, satisfaction is only through me
only through my light you can really see
trust me, you will enjoy what life is goint to be
in the valley of the shadow of death i’m holding your hand
in the face of sin’s temptation , now you will stand

stick to me and i’ll give you the heaven on earth
i’m the life and the way, who believes in me will never see the death

you are my son, welcome now home
carved on my hands, welcome your new dawn..

—————-

if you feel that God is touching you right now, bow down , tell him, God i want you, i want you to clear all my sins, i believe that you love me, and you died for me, and you rose from the dead for me, i believe that i need you, i need your love, i need your tender, i need your salvation , i need your life.

God is the real hope

psalm 9:18 But the needy will not always be forgotten,  nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish.

psalm 2:7I will proclaim the decree of the LORD :
       He said to me, “You are my Son ^;
       today I have begotten you ;

call God, call him , he will not let you down, he loves you ,john 3:16“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

in psalms 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.”

jesus said in john 11:25-26 when lazarus died, he was telling his sister the following     25Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; 26and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” ,

we die in sin , but in jesus we will have the life and will never die, if you lost hope, know that you are wrong, God saved me, and he can, he loves and he is willing to save you. God’s will is that all of us accept him as our savior, and no longer live in darkness and sin, but have the light of life.

Jesus came for the sinners, Jesus came for me and  you, he came for the heavy burdened he came for the lost. in matthew 11 : 28“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

whether you are lost he will be your shepherd, whether you are rejected he loves you and will hold you with open arms, if you are sad he will give you a joy that no one can steal, if you are lonely,weary,tired,angry. come to him  you will find rest to your soul

I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.  John 8:12

Jesus loves you.

Hope in the lord

 

— just wanted to share this from today’s word with joel and victoria www.joelosteen.com Hope in the Lord Today’s Scripture  “Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint” (Isaiah 40:30-31, NIV). Today’s Word from Joel and Victoria Everyone has times when they feel tired and overwhelmed by the pressures of life. But notice, this scripture gives us a clear remedy: Hope in the Lord. It’s easy to put your hope in other things; maybe you had hope in a relationship, hope in a job, hope in the stock market. It’s time to redirect your hope to the One who will never let you down; the One who never changes, the Rock of Ages. When you’re tempted to give up on your dreams, when you’re tempted to just settle where you are, listen to that still, small voice of hope on the inside that says, “No way. This is not who I am. I was created to live in victory. I was created to overcome this sickness. I was created to rise above these problems.” Put your hope and trust in the Lord because He is faithful! As you do, He will renew your strength. He’ll cause you to soar on wings like the eagle, and you’ll be empowered to move forward confidently into the victory He has for you! A Prayer for Today Father in heaven, today I choose to put my hope in You. I know You have good plans for me. Thank You for renewing my strength and keeping me close to You. Fill me with Your peace and joy today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
