And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 

*Problems can't  last forever. Promises can, and God's promises do. 

Without God's oversight, our futures are like scraps of paper scattering in the wind. But under His oversight, they are like pages of hope indelibly written by grace. 

Romans 8:28.twenty three words giving us hope and strength. 

Go forward... 

Fret not. Rejoice always. Do not be anxious. In everything give thanks. Serve the Lord with gladness. Be strong and of good courage. Come before Him with thanksgiving. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently on Him. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 

Cling on to the above promise of God. It's a promise with your name on it. It meets the challenges you are facing right now. God is the One who signed and sealed it. 

Only Believe! 

Jesus turns sadness to gladness and gives beauty for ashes.. 

Blessed time with Jesus...

*There is an old story about a elder in church who noticed a long time attendee hadn't been in church for while. After a few weeks, the elder decided he’d better make a visit. He went to the man’s home and found him alone, sitting in front of a blazing fire. The parishioner invited the brother in and directed him to a comfortable chair near the fire.

After an initial greeting, the two sat in silence, watching the roaring fire dance over the logs. Then the brother took the fire tongs and picked up a brightly burning ember, which he then placed to one side of the hearth by itself. That lone ember’s flame began to flicker and eventually died. Soon it was a cold, gray coal, with no life or warmth whatsoever.

Then the brother picked up that coal with the tongs, and placed it back into the middle of the fire. Within seconds, it began to glow, with light and warmth, ignited by the flames around it.

As the elder rose to leave, the parishioner said, “Thank you for the sermon, Brother. I’ll be back in church next Sunday.”

 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.Hebrews 10:24-25

More like Jesus.. Every day.

 

A soldier made it his practice to end each day with Bible reading and Prayer. As the others gathered in their barracks and retired for the night, he’d kneel by his bunk. Some of them saw this and began to mock him. But one night, the abuse went beyond words. As he bowed down to pray, one soldier threw his boots and hit him in the face. The others jeered, looking for a fight but there was no retaliation.

 The next morning when the boot thrower woke up, he couldn’t believe what he saw. There at the front of his bed were his boots – polished and returned.

What a testimony! 

Lord blesses us to a blessing, forgives us to be forgivers.... 

🙏Lord give me grace to obey your Word and be a light in this dark World. In Jesus Name.. Amen

Psalms.... Heart talk to God..

 

(Malayalam.. Video msg. 5 mins) 

*HI, HOW ARE YOU?” “FINE.” Not exactly an in-depth discussion, this brief interchange is normal as friends . But if this is the essence of our communication, our relationships will stall on a superficial plateau. 

These words go deeper, but the true person still lies hidden beneath them. In reality, only when honest feelings and emotions are shared can real people be known, loved, and helped.

Often, patterns of superficial communication spill over into our talks with God. We easily slide through well-worn lines recited for decades, or we quickly toss a cliché or two at God and call it prayer. Certainly God hears and understands these feeble attempts, but by limiting the depth of our communication, we become shallow in our relationship with him. But God knows us, and he wants to have genuine communication with us.

Psalms

David and the other writers honestly poured out their true feelings, reflecting a dynamic, powerful, and life-changing friendship with God. The psalmists confess their sins, express their doubts and fears, ask God for help in times of trouble, and praise and worship him.

As you read the book of Psalms, you will hear believers crying out to God from the depths of despair, and you will hear them singing to him at the heights of celebration. But whether the psalm writers are despairing or rejoicing, you will always hear them sharing honest feelings with their God. Because of the honesty expressed by these writers, men and women throughout history have come, again and again, to the book of Psalms for comfort during times of struggle and distress. And through the psalms, they have risen from the depths of despair to new heights of joy and praise as they have discovered the power of God’s everlasting love and forgiveness. Let the honesty of the psalms guide you into a deep and genuine relationship with God.

PRAY....

 

*Ask anything.. Be anxious about nothing. 

Prayerful life is a peaceful life. 

God doesn't hear words without the heart, But He hears the heart even without words. 

Prayer is not a monologue.. But a dialogue, When we speak God listens and When God speak we are listening. 

When you are praying God is hearing as  you are the only one praying in the universe to Him . 

Prayer is a family phone call, You are calling your "Abba daddy"

Your prayer is an emergency call to heaven. 

When Bartimeus prayed, Jesus Stopped. When you pray He will  even pause the universe. 

Worldly people can take prayer out of schools, offices, hospitals and public places, But no one can never take prayer out of the throne room of God. 

Pray now..... 

O Lord Jesus teach us to pray...

PRAY...... NOW ..

 

*"The following story was reported by a medical missionary at his home church in Michigan:

"While serving at a small field hospital in Africa, I traveled every two weeks by bicycle through the jungle to a nearby city for supplies. This required camping overnight half way. On one of these trips, I saw two men fighting in the city. One was seriously injured, so I treated him and witnessed to him of the Lord Jesus Christ. I then returned home safe. 

"Upon arriving in the city several weeks later, I was approached by the man I had treated earlier. He told me he had known that I carried money and medicine. He said, ‘some friends and I followed you into the jungle knowing you would camp overnight. We waited for you to go to sleep and planned to kill you and take your money and drugs. Just as we were about to move into your campsite, we saw that you were surrounded by 26 armed guards.'"

I laughed at this and said I was certainly all alone out in that jungle campsite. The young man pressed the point, ‘No, sir, I was not the only one to see the guards. My  friends also saw them and we all counted them. It was because of those guards that we were afraid and left you alone.'"

At this point in the church presentation in Michigan, one of the men in the church jumped up and interrupted the missionary, and asked, "Can you tell me the exact date when this happened"? The missionary thought for a while and recalled the date. The man in the congregation told this side of the story:

"On that night in Africa it was morning here. I was preparing to play golf. As I put my bag in the car, I felt the Lord leading me to pray for you. In fact, the urging was so strong that I called the men of this church together to pray for you. Will all of those men who met with me that day please stand?"

The men who had met that day to pray together stood-there were 26 of them!

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Ephesians 6:18
