Worth Dying For
I looked at myself saw a pile of bulky trash
looked through my chest saw leftovers of a heart and some ash
I saw a failure walking on stalks
a worn out painting better hid in cloaks
a lost cause a broken glass
an attrition with no pause, a rusty brass
I wondered why the sun was shinning on me for another day
I didn’t want to be a part of it’s painful milky way
why the sky won’t just fall down crush me under it’s stars
why do i have to be this being carving his own scars
my thoughts were all self blaming
my soul was sour and blazing
I had no respect but a rant
felt less alife than a dying plant
but one day someone told me about two crossed pieces of wood
and how God stood where i should have stood
it was the sign of the son of man
for all people not for a certain tribe or clan
These arms are stretched out for me
these hands are nailed for me to be free
for a moment i let go of how i think of me
realized how blind i am ,i really need to see
and i’ve feltl love and mercy like never before
and was written on the sign ” you worth dying for ”
you think these roads have left you alone
shouldn’t have believed you can do it on your own
because this null you think you are
I the Lord see you a shinning morning star
for long you have believed in the devil’s lies
open your ears listen to my love cries
in my arms i will rest you of this strife
in my love i will bring you back the life
listen to me forget what you held before
my love,to Me, you are worthy dying for.
—And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
This he said, signifying what death he should die. (John 12:32-33)
I am a devil not a good guy
Just a thought comes to me sometimes, when i feel i am not in my best form with God , when i feel away, mostly i think i am more of a devil than a good man of God, in these times when a friend of mine needs some help, needs a prayer, needs a tip of how to deal with something, when I help this friend, by praying with , or since i passed through the same situation a while ago and God helped me and I tell him about it , encourage him by how God helped me, was there for me, didn’t forsake me, and this work , my friend becomes encouraged, pleased because of knowing that God wont let him/her down , i feel pleased and say oh I am still functional, still something good can get out of me , the well God put inside me is still working : ) and it’s like yaaay : ) , but then a moment of sadness comes, oh man shouldn’t I be helping myself first and then help friends , if i am away from God how can i bring someone near to him, I can’t help myself so now i am expecting myself to help someone and then ok but i gave that friend a tip or an advice on how to deal with what’s he is going through ,yup that’s right but a devil knows what would help that friend, what would keep him close to God, so actually it’s not God’s well in me that helped the friend, consider it a knowledge or something, anyways when this thought goes in my mind I totally lose hope and feel sad despite i was just happy few seconds ago, but the point is : If satan knows what can bring a man near to God he wouldn’t tell that man about it, he would lie ( in John 8:44 Jesus said about satan ” for he is a liar and the father of it.” ) and do his best to drive that man away and to keep him from doing what can help like praying and repenting for an example, or asking for God’s help and will to be done , satan would never tell a man about what would help him, but an angel would do : ) , it’s known that angels help men, so whenever you get this thought remember if you were a devil you wouldn’t have helped your friend, but God’s well is still in you, the Holy spirit is still in you, and it’s just a call to come back to God, a reminder that it’s true you feel away but you are just a prayer near , be encouraged and be happy coz God is still in you, and if you feel you wanna help if you feel that the holy spirit wants to use you , don’t fail it, don’t withdraw , don’t feel sad and move a way , but be happy and be encouraged because it’s just a message of hope God is telling you , you are near , take this encouragement and go back to God he is waiting : ) in zechariah 1:3 “Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Return to Me,” says the LORD of hosts, “and I will return to you,” says the LORD of hosts. ”
return to Him and he will return to you : )

April 30 – Springtime
Rejoice in the Springtime of the year. Let there be Springtime in your hearts. The full time of fruit is not yet but there is the promise of the blossom.
Know surely that your lives too are full of glad promise. Such blessings are to be yours. Such joys, such wonders.
All is indeed well. Live in My Sunshine and My Love.

time that their corn and their wine increased.” Psalm 4:7
Golden Opportunity

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
Love’s Overflow

March 22 – Love’s Overflow
I desire the love of man’s heart in abundant measure.
Not because God would be adored for Himself and for His own gratification, but because I know that only as the love of man flows out to Me does man attain to his purest and best.
That rush of love, which follows the understanding and realization of My Love for man, sweetens and purifies his whole being.
“Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”
The love you give to your neighbor is the overflow of your love to me.
Another Start

February 1 – Another Start
Take courage. Do not fear. Start a new life tomorrow. Put the old mistakes away, and start anew. I give you a fresh start. Be not burdened. Be not anxious. If My forgiveness were for the righteous only, and those who had not sinned, where would be its need?
Remember as I said, “To whom much is forgiven, the same loveth much.”
Why do you fret and worry so? I wait to give you all that is lovely, but your lives are soiled with worry and fret. You would crush My treasures. I can only bless glad, thankful hearts.
You must be glad and joyful.

Tenants

.Hi there, I just want to share with you this beautiful love of God that is found in the next passage, i hope you enjoy it.
Mark 12 The Parable of the Tenants
1He then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and went away on a journey. 2At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. 3But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 4Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully. 5He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed. 6″He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 7″But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. 9″What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others. 10Haven’t you read this scripture: ” ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone[a]; 11the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?” 12Then they looked for a way to arrest him because they knew he had spoken the parable against them. But they were afraid of the crowd; so they left him and went away. .. conntinue the chapter
—
here God is telling about How much he loves and fights for his people (the fruit of the vinyard),, when the time of harvest came he sent a servant to collect his fruits, but they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed , then he sent another ,then another they killed him, then he sent many some were killed and some were beat,, ,, then he sent his beloved son and they killed him too, then he went killed them and gave the vinyard to others.
God is Showing how loving is he. we are his fruites, and when God found that the tenants, the ones who are responsible for us, wants to take us from God, want to let us be for them not from God, wanted to steel us from God, he didn’t leave us, he didn’t defend us, he did all his best that he send his only beloved son to save us, to claim us back to God ,but he lost his son,, the point is God did this to the people of Israel,from the previous chapter Jesus was talking to the the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders (mark 11) he did the same to the people of Israel, he came and freed them from their tenats who were supposed to be the men of God who lead and guide the people of Israel.
so if it happens as you are a fruit of God , and your tenants are doing like the the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders of Israel, Don’t worry God loves you ,and he is taking care of you, he is watching over you, he will send the others, he will give the vinyard to others who are the true men of God, the trustworthy, so don’t worry you are in the hands of God, it doesn’t matter who are you teachers or elders, God is taking care of you, he gave us his only begoten son, to save us, to be in God’s hands again. God loves you and loves us all.
and If I am one of those tenats , then God is going to replace me.
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.”
luke 10 1After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.
— Pray that God send the harvesters.
Isaiah 43
Israel’s Only Savior
1 But now, this is what the LORD says—
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the LORD, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
Hoard Nothing

From the book God calling
– Hoard Nothing
Love Me and do My Will. No evil shall befall you. Take no thought for tomorrow. Rest in My presence brings Peace. God will help you. Desire brings fulfillment. Peace like a quiet flowing river cleanses, sweeps all irritants away.
You shall be taught, continue these prayertimes, even if they seem fruitless. The devil will try by any means to stop them. Heed him not. He will say evil spirits may enter in. heed him not.
Rest your nerves. Tired nerves are a reflection on, not of, God’s Power. Hope all the time.
Do not be afraid of poverty. Let money flow freely. I will let it flow in but you must let it flow out. i never send money to stagnate – only to those who pass it on. Keep nothing for yourself. Hoard nothing. Only have what you need and use. This is My Law of Discipleship.
and he shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5
Every One's Life.
