The Scientific Death of Jesus
Nov 02, 2009 | 8:20AM
By Georgy ------ 4629 views
At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to death penalty.

That was then the “worst” death. Only the worst criminals could die like Jesus. And with Jesus things were worst, because not all the criminals condemned to death could receive nails on their hands and feet.

Of course, nails… Big nails! Each was 15 a 20 cm long, with a point of 6 cm. Another point was sharp.

The nails were craved into the pulses, and not into the palms, as we are used to hear. In the pulse, there’s a tendon which extends till the shoulder, and when the nails were being hammered, that tendon broke, obliging Jesus to reinforce all the muscles of his back, so that he could breath as He was loosing all the air from his lungs.

In this way, He was forced to support Himself onto the nail craved in his feet, which was bigger than those craved into his pulses, for both feet were craved together. And, as his feet could not endure for long time without tearing, Jesus was forced to alternate that “cycle” so that He could breath.

Jesus endured that reality over 3 hours. Yes, over 3 hours! Long time, isn’t it? Few minutes before He died, Jesus was not bleeding anymore. He was simply pouring water from his cuts and holes.

When we imagine Him injured, we only picture Him with injuries, but it is not enough; His wounds were true holes, made in his body.

He had no more blood to bleed, He only poured water. Human body is composed by near 3.5 litres of blood (for adult).

Jesus poured all 3.5 litres of his blood; He had three nails hammered into his members; a crown of thorns on his head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who nailed a spear into his chest.

All these without mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying his own cross for almost 2 kilometres, while the crowd spat on his face and throwed stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part, where his hands were nailed).

Jesus had to pass all this experience, so that you can have free access to God. So that your sins could be “washed”. All of them, with no exception! Don’t ignore this situation. HE DIED FOR YOU!. For you, who now read this in this site. Do not believe that He only died for others (those who go to the church or for pastors, bishops, etc).

He died for you! It is easy to pass jokes or foolish photos by e-mail, but when it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward to others because you are worried on what they may think about your moral.

Accept the reality, the truth that JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD..

God has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced to save you.. Now think on this! May God bless your life!

60 seconds with God…
During 60 seconds, leave whatsoever your doing and seize this opportunity! Let’s see if satan can stop this.
Yes, I love God. He is my source of life and my saviour. He keeps me alive day and night. Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me”. Philippians 4:13.
This is the simply proof. If you love God and your are not ashamed for all things He has done for you, send this to all those you love.

THE PASTOR AND HIS SON
Feb 25, 2009 | 10:00AM
THE PASTOR AND HIS SON
Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts.
This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring down rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, "OK, dad, I'm ready."
His Pastor dad asked, "Ready for what?"
"Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and go out."
Dad responds, "Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring down rain."
The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking, "But Dad, aren't people still going to Hell, even though it's raining?"
Dad answers, "Son, I am not going out in this weather."
Despondently, the boy asks, "Dad, can I go? Please?"
His father hesitated for a moment then said, "Son, you can go. Here are the tracts, be careful son."
"Thanks Dad!"
And with that, he was off and out into the rain. This eleven year old boy walked the streets of the town going door to door and handing everybody he met in the street a Gospel Tract.
After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking, bone-chilled wet and down to his VERY LAST TRACT. He stopped on a corner and looked for someone to hand a tract to, but the streets were totally deserted.
Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk to the front door and rang the door bell.. He rang the bell, but nobody answered....
He rang it again and again, but still no one answered.
He waited but still no answer.
Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to leave, but something stopped him....
Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding him there on the front porch He rang again and this time the door slowly opened.
Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady. She softly asked, "What can I do for you, son?" With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that *JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU* and I came to give you myvery last Gospel Tract which will tell you all about JESUS and His great LOVE."
With that, he handed her his last tract and turned to leave.
She called to him as he departed. "Thank you, son! And God Bless You!"
Well, the following Sunday morning in church Pastor Dad was in the pulpit.
As the service began, he asked, "Does anybody have testimony or want to say anything?
Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet.
As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face, "No one in this church knows me. I've never been here before.
You see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband passed on some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world.
Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more so in my heart that I came to the end of the line where I no longer had any hope or will to live.
So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic of my home.... I fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof, then stood on the chair and fastened the other end of the rope around my neck. Standing on that chair, so lonely and brokenhearted I was about to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought, "I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away."
I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly.
I thought to myself again, "Who on earth could this be?
Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to see me." I loosened the rope from my neck and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder.
When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for there on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to you!
The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice, "Ma'am, I just came to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU."
Then he gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand.
As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly every word of this Gospel Tract. Then I went up to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be needing them any more.
You see---I am now a Happy Child of the KING. Since the address of your church was on the back of this Gospel Tract, I have come here to personally say THANK YOU to God's little angel who came just in the nick of time and by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in hell."
There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts of praise and honor to THE KING resounded off the very rafters of the building, Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was seated.
He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.
Probably no church has had a more glorious moment, and probably this universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love & honor for his son... Except for One.
Our Father also allowed His Son to go out into a cold and dark world.. He received His Son back with joy unspeakable, and as all of heaven shouted praises and honor to The King, the Father sat His beloved Son on a throne far above all principality and power and every name that is named.
Blessed are your eyes for reading this message.
Matthew 10:32 says:
"Whoever acknowledges Me before men, I will acknowledge him before My Father in heaven.
But whoever disowns Me before men, I will disown him before My Father in heaven" . THIS POSTER IS ILLEGAL IN 51 COUNTRIES

Lord himself will give you a sign
Dec 08, 2008 | 8:13AM
Merry Christmas to all
1And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 2(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 15And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 16And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 18And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. 20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
Luke 2: 1-20 (KJV)

The USA flag The LORDs Prayer
Aug 14, 2008 | 11:42AM
|
"Teach us how to pray," the disciples said to Jesus. (Luke 11, 1)
He answered by teaching them the prayer we call the Our Father or The Lord's Prayer.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

The Blood of Jesus very good sight
Jun 15, 2008 | 8:03AM
|
Browse with Midi Music: Oh, The Blood of Jesus Courtesy of Bill Mc Ginnis Christmusic The Blood of Jesus
Jesus foretold the absolute necessity of his coming death by referring to the brazen serpent that Moses raised in the desert (Num. 21:8,9).
John 3:14 - And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
The serpent is a type of sin and Christ became sin for us, that we might be the righteousness of God in Him (IICor. 5:21).
God established that only blood could remit sin.
Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an atonement for the soul.
Atonement means to be made "at one" with God. The atoning blood had to be from a spotless lamb.
Exodus 12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take [it] out from the sheep, or from the goats:
Jesus is the only one who ever fulfilled this requirement. God promised freedom from judgement, through the blood.
Exodus 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye [are]: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy [you], when I smite the land of Egypt. We are saved from wrath by the blood of Jesus.
Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
We receive spiritual cleansing and are are eternally redeemed by the blood of Jesus.
Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [for us]. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
1 Peter 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain conversation [received] by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
We have peace through the blood of Christ.
Colossians 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say], whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven. 21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in [your] mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and [be] not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, [and] which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
Being cleansed by the blood, we are to have a godly walk.
Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
We'll praise Him at the throne, for the blood.
Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Jesus the only intercessor.
Isaiah 59:16 . And he saw that [there was] no man, and wondered that [there was] no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
Jesus our only food.
John 6:35 . And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Jesus the only source of truth.
John 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life
Jesus, the only name that contains salvation.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Jesus, the only remedy.
John 3:14 . And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

HOW TO GO TO HEAVEN
Jul 12, 2007 | 11:18AM
HOW TO GO TO HEAVEN AND LIVE WITH JESUS FOR EVER.
1. We must HEAR the WORD: John 1:1 ~ In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God; and the WORD was God.
Romans 10:17 ~ So faith comes from HEARING and HEARING by the WORD of GOD.
Hebrews 10:25 ~ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another and so much more as you see the Day approaching. That JESUS is coming back for HIS own. 2. We must BELIEVE that Jesus Christ died for our sins: John 3:16 ~ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVES in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 8:24 ~ Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not BELIEVE that I am He, you will die in your sins.
Hebrews 11:6 ~ But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must BELIEVE that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
3. We must REPENT of our sins: Luke 13:2-3 ~ And Jesus said to them, "Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate? I tell you, no, but unless you REPENT, you will all likewise perish.
Acts 17:30 ~ Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should REPENT.
2 Corinthians 7:10 ~ For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a REPENTANCE without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.
4. We must CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord: Matthew 10:32-33 ~ Therefore everyone who CONFESSES Me before men, I will also CONFESS him before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
Romans 10:9-10 ~ that if you CONFESS with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and BELIEVE in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person BELIEVES, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth, he CONFESSES, resulting in salvation.
Acts 8:37 ~ And Phillip said, "If you BELIEVE with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said,"I BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."
5. You must be BAPTIZED to wash away your sins: Acts 8:35-39 ~ Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, he preached Jesus to him. As they went along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Look! Water! "What prevents me from being BAPTIZED?" And Philip said, "If you BELIEVE with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." And he ordered the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he BAPTIZED him. When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch no longer saw him, but went on his way rejoicing.
Mark 16:15-16 ~ And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." He who has BELIEVED and has been BAPTIZED shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.
Acts 2:38-41 ~ Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be BAPTIZED in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." So then, those who had received his word were BAPTIZED, and that day there were added about three thousand souls.
Romans 6:3-4 ~ Or do you not know that all of us who have been BAPTIZED into Christ Jesus have been BAPTIZED into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through BAPTISM into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.
1 Peter 3:21 ~ Corresponding to that, BAPTISM now saves you-not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience- through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Acts 22:16 ~ Now why do you delay? Get up and be BAPTIZED and wash away your sins, calling on His name.
It is interesting to note that each time the gospel truth was preached to a person or a group of people, a response to that truth was in order. The above points, along with the scriptures, are in response to the invitation Jesus extends when He says, Come unto Me.... (Matthew 11:28-30) But we must respond to Him on His terms, not our own.
The majority of people think everyone will go to heaven, but when you read the following two passages, Jesus tells us that not everyone will be accepted. Our God is a loving God and does not want anyone to perish, but like any good father, He has given us rules to go by and He expects us to abide by them, or we face the consequences. These two passages appear in Matthew 7.
Matthew 7:13-14 reads as follows: 13. Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Matthew 7:22-23 reads as follows: 22. Many will say to Me on that day, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles? 23. And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'
JESUS LOVE EVERY ONE AND WANTS YOU TO FOLLOW HIM !! DONT BE LEFT BEHIND. YOUR FRIEND YOVONNA :)

The True Story of Christmas!!!
Dec 16, 2006 | 8:18AM
Luke 2:1- 22
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
2:2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
2:3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
2:5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
2:6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
2:12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
2:15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
2:16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
2:17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
2:18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
2:19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
2:20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
2:21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
2:22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
2:23 (As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
2:24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. JESUS LOVES You so much He came to show us the way to heaven through HIS death on the cross HE paid for all your sins ask HIM to take your sin and HE will give you ever lasting life in heaven with HIM what a bargan Thanks JESUS for all you have done for us.

Seek first
Oct 01, 2006 | 6:41AM

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6)

Seek first His Kingdom and His Righteousness
It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young.
Let him sit alone in silence, for the LORD has laid it on him. Let him bury his face in the dust-- there may yet be hope. For men are not cast off by the Lord forever.
Lamentations 3:26-29, 31 __________________
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Hebrews 6:10-12 __________________
"Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of man! Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets."
Luke 6:22,23
__________________
Hear the word of the LORD, you who tremble at His word: Your brothers who hate you, who exclude you for My name's sake, Have said, "Let the LORD be glorified, that we may see your joy." But they will be put to shame.
Isaiah 66:5 __________________
Thanks be unto FATHER GOD for HIS wonderful gift: Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of GOD is the object of our faith; the only faith that saves is faith in HIM.

TRUST JESUS WITH ALL YOUR PROBLEMS
Jul 01, 2006 | 12:24PM
But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart (1 Corinthians 2:16).
Do you get upset every time somebody tries to change you, or tell you what not to do, because you always have to be right? If you answered yes. I am sure that you are not a very happy person. You cannot change others, but you can allow JESUS to change you so that things don't bother you anymore.
With Jesus Christ as your Savior, you can learn how to live a different way. You can have PEACE . You can sleep well at night. You can like yourself. You can restore relationships ALL that have been ruined. Your mind can be renewed to be like Jesus', if you read His Word and ask Him to help you live the abundant life He came to give you ( John 10:10).
Trust God
But let all those who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice; let them ever sing and shout for joy, because You make a covering over them and defend them; let those also who love Your name be joyful in You and be in high spirits. (Psalm 5:11).
Many wounded people don't know how to get what they really need, so they wallow in self-pity. and have pity partys. God once told me, , you can be pitiful or powerful, but you can't be both."
Taking our eyes off of ourselves enables us to look to JESUS This positions us to trust HiIM to meet all and every need in our lives. God knows exactly what we need, and He promises to provide it through His abundant grace and mercy.
Ask Him to fill you with His power today, and trust Him as Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord our Provider ( Genesis 22:14 KJV).
Wait for God's Justice
Knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [and not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [real] reward. [The One Whom] you are actually serving [is] the Lord Christ (the Messiah) (Colossians 3:24).
God has brought a great reward in my life in recompense for the physical abuse that I suffered in my earlier days. Now I have a wonderful life. JESUS blesses me. He does things for me. He opens doors of opportunity for me. He makes me happy. He gives me JOY .
When you really trust God, He will bring justice into your life. In Isaiah 61:7 the Lord says, "For your former shame I will give you a double reward" (paraphrased). If someone has mistreated you, rejected you, abused you, or abandoned you, hold on to that promise. You have many blessings ahead of you. Trust JESUS with your future, and enjoy your day as you wait for God's justice. He knows all the problems you go through and HE is there just ask HIM for help all the time and HE loves to help us .:)
