Call Jesus infaith gives blessing

Faith in Jesus is a blessing! Read this and receive the blessing of God:-

On another day, Jesus and his disciples came to the city of Jericho. As Jesus and His disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (that is, the son of Timaeus), was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”

So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.

“What do you want Me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.

The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”

“Go,” said Jesus. “Your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.”( Mark 10:46-52)

Call on Jesus in faith. May God bless you.

Hope you are save

Friends, May God bless you. Hope you’ve received the forgiveness of God and live a new life in Jesus. But how do you confirm that? Do you ever have doubt of your Salvation? Don’t rely on me or anyone else to get the confirmation. Instead, rely on Jesus and the word of God in the Bible.

The Bible says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us.”( 1 John 1:9)

Forgiveness of God is not based on our merit. We didn’t earn it. We never can. It is a gift from God. We know we are forgiven because the the Bible says so. We are truly free.

Initially we may not “feel” forgiven, but after a while feelings will follow facts. And here is the fact: you are fully forgiven  when we repent and ask His forgiveness, He washes us clean, just as though we had never sinned. Thank God for that!

Write ‘Amen’ if you thank God in prayer. May Jesus Christian be with you in the Holy Spirit always.

Power of prayer

May God bless you and release you from all your problems. Know how powerful is the prayer of God’s people. Seek the prayer of God’s people if you ever have any problem. You must also pray. Read how the Angel of God release Peter from Prison and punished the prosecutor of God’s people, due to the prayer of God’s people :-

“King Herod arrested some members of the church to persecute. He had put to death James, the brother of John, also called Mark. When he saw this met with approval among the Jews, he arrested Peter also and put him in prison  for trial. But the church was earnestly praying to God for him (Peter).

The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance.

Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. “Quick, get up!” he said, and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists.

 The angel said again, “Put on your clothes and sandals.”

Peter did so.

 “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me,” the angel told him. 

 Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision. 

They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him.

Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know without a doubt that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from Herod’s clutches and from everything the Jewish people were hoping would happen.”

He went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying. Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer the door.  When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, “Peter is at the door!”

But the people replied her  ”You’re out of your mind” . When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”

But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison.

“Tell James and the other brothers and sisters about this,” he said, and left.

In the morning, there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.After Herod had a thorough search made for him and did not find him, he cross-examined the guards and ordered that they be executed.

Herod’s Death

Then Herod went from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there. He had been quarreling with the people of Tyre and Sidon; they now joined together and sought an audience with him. After securing the support of Blastus, a trusted personal servant of the king, they asked for peace, because they depended on the king’s country for their food supply. On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people. They shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.” Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died. But the word of God continued to spread and flourish.” (Acts 14:1-24).

Friend, May God also release you from all the problems you have by answering your prayer and the prayer of God’s people you ask of them.

God answer all prayers

May God bless you and answer your prayer. For this, study His words and call on His name, confessing sin, request Him to forgive and accept Him as Lord and Saviour.

Jesus says, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you" (Matthew 7:7.)

To get what you want from God, you must ask Him in prayer earnestly. Do not stop here. Seek, how God answer your prayer. He may give not what you asked but He may give the better one for you, in a better way. God may says, “My dear child, what you ask is not the best one for you. I will surely give you the best thing for you in the best way” as He says in the mouth of Prophet Jeremiah –

All obey Jesus

Friends, May God bless you and always help you. Jesus is all powerful. Even nature obey Him. The Holy Spirit is the Power of God. He is always with us as Jesus promised that God will send Him (the Holy Spirit) to be with all who believe in Him (Jesus). But we have to call on Him in prayer when we need Him as Jesus was with the disciples while in trouble but came to help them only when they called on Him. Read -

Jesus Calms the Storm : That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him.  A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”

He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” 

Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” 

They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!” (Mark 4: 35 – 41 )

Friends, always remember that Lord Jesus is with you in the Holy Spirit. Just call Him in prayer for help.

Write ‘Amen’ if you call on Him now. May God help you. 

Women get the blessing of God easier than men

Women get the blessing of God easier than men

Friends, May God bless you. May Jesus reveal Himself to you. Jesus bless all to whom He reveal Himself. Jesus like people who are simple, innocent like children, depend or rely on Him, have full faith in God, God’s word and in Him. May you be such blessed person. For this, please prayerfully study His Holy words.

I find that it is easier for women get the blessing of God than men. May be because, women -1) represent human being which God love and care; 2) Or weaker than man and know their weakness, hence, more submissive and admit their fault than men; 3) easily believe what men tell them, and more.

Jesus talks With a Samaritan Woman, who consider herself and her Samaritan tribe lower than Jews. Jesus no her innocent or simplicity and her faith in Him ‘to be able to give what He said’. She believe Jesus and whatever He said to her. Jesus also knew her faith in God, God’s word and hope for the coming of ‘Christ or Messiah’. Therefore, Jesus revealed the Truth about Himself that He is ‘Christ or Messiah’.

Read : John 4:6-42 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon. When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, ”Will you give me a drink?”  (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) 

The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

Jesus answered her, ”If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”

 ”Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”

Jesus answered, ”Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”

He told her, ”Go, call your husband and come back.”

 ”I have no husband,” she replied.

Jesus said to her, ”You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”

 ”Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”

 ”Woman,” Jesus replied, ”believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.  You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.  Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) ”is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

 Then Jesus declared, ”I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”

………….. Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people,  ”Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” 

They came out of the town and made their way toward him.

 ……….Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”  (John 4:6-40 –shortened)

Write ‘Amen’ if you pray Jesus to reveal Himself to you and bless you. May God bless you.

If you choose ‘Life’, it is Jesus. Hope you have chosen Jesus (Life). Then, you have to choose between ‘stay the old way’ and ‘start living a New Life in Jesus’.

The Doctrine(s) of Salvation - Introduction

 A) The Doctrines of Grace   (John Calvin)
 1) Total Depravity which says that as the result of the sin of Adam and Eve the entire human race is dead in trespasses and sins.  And being spiritually dead, man is unable to save himself from the wrath of God, or even respond favorably to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
 2)Unconditional Election  In brief, this Doctrine states that, even before the world existed, God elected (chose) a vast multitude, beyond human ability to count, of people from every nation, tribe, and tongue to be His children, to be justified and sanctified and to be given eternal life through Jesus.  According to this Doctrine, it is not possible for a child of God to lose his salvation.  [I will use the term “elect” throughout this study so as not to confuse Christians with Jews, God’s “chosen” people.]
 3) Limited Atonement states that as God determined certain people would be elected to sanctification, Jesus’ death on the cross only atoned for the sins of the elect.
 4) Irresistible Grace says that God draws to Himself the elect, giving them the grace and the faith they need in order to be willing to be saved.
 5) Perseverance of the Saints states that the elect will persevere in their faith in Jesus.  Note that this does not mean that a Christian is perfect, will never slip, never backslide; rather it means that we will never lose our faith in Jesus and will always repent of slips or backslidings.
 [Note: You can remember these by the acronym TULIP: T = Total Depravity; U = Unconditional Election; L = Limited Atonement; I = Irresistible Grace; and P = Perseverance of the Saints.  Note also that this Christian Doctrine came to be called Calvinism then later the Doctrines of Grace.]

Bless others, God will bless you

Friends, May God bless you to be a source of blessing for others. God blessing man is first is recorded in Genesis 1:28 :God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground. ”(Genesis 1:28)In New Testament, the first  Blessing is read after the birth of Jesus,  “peace to those on whom His(God) favour rests.” (Luke 2:14) Then, Jesus blesses universal blessing for all who were, are and will be worthy to be blessed in Matthew 5:3-11. Again, just after He has arisen Jesus blesses His disciples, "'Peace be with you!.'" (John 20:21)

So, let us bless others, at least our friends as Jesus blesses us all, instead of cursing. God will be grateful if we bless others at least in words and I will also be glad and thank God in your name if my friends practice blessing others. Please start today, say “God bless you, May God be with you,etc”. in facebook updates and others. God will bless you, do it my friends as God blesses me in my deep deep heart with the feeling of peace!

Write ‘Amen’ if you commit to do this to glorify our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. May God bless you.

Bless others

Friends, May God bless you and give you all your daily need, which are good for you and good in His sight. Hope you know why I always bless you. It is because  our Lord and Saviour Jesus, the Son of God says,

 “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”(Matthew 7:12)

That’s why I bless you all and also want to have a habit to bless others, instead of blaming, accusing, rebuking, cursing others and find other’s fault. Will you pray for me and for yourself so that we have such habit?

Write ‘Amen’ if you pray. May Jesus be with you always.
