God never changes.

8 December 2011 

 For I am the LORD, I do not change,.." Malachi 3:6

•  Time change-Things change.
• People change-Policies changes
• Nature changes-History changes
• God never change.God is eternal and does not change.

God’s faithfulness is the same today, tomorrow and forever. His love has no bounds and his mercies are new every day. Though the times change and we are also liable to or we may change, BUT God is with us in every single aspect of our lives. The troubles of this world (battle of the dark world) have no power to overcome or destroy us.

 " From everlasting to everlasting you are God." Psalm.90:2

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever

 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8

During the time of stress and anxiety, it is very hard to remember that God has authority over everything. We may have been sung, deep into the depressing state of mind, or perplexed amidst the troubles to rely on God.

Every day we face different problem and sometimes it is hard to keep up our faith, and we may end the day in trouble or in tears.  

Many Questions may pop up in our mind.      

• Where is my God? (When struggles covers me and getting worse.
• Is 
  HE listening to my prayers?

•           Why the pain is unbearable?
•          (And at last) Why always it is ME?
•           Why it is ME targeted?
•          When others doing fine, WHY ME ALONE IN TROUBLE?

“…when I called, was there none to answer? 
      Is My hand shortened at all that it cannot redeem? 
      Or have I no power to deliver? Isaiah50:2

 Evil is being called good and wrong is being called right.

We witness and watch the darkness of evil growing and filling this world. It is, as if the world is turned inside out. We are not able to understand certain things.

 It seems that everything gone out of control.

• No moral. No ethics.  No principle in life. 
• No respect. No fear of God. (even for the creator). BUT God’s love is unchanging-

“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.” (John 3:16)

God’s love did not change despite the fact that we are lawless and law breakers.  Sin and wickedness came into the world and corrupted everything, God’s plan never changes. Protect yourself.

“Put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground and after you have done everything, to stand!” (Ephesians 6:13) 

Know and obey the Lord, no matter what happens. Trust in HIM.

God bless

JEHOVAH RAPHA (GOD is our healer)

7 December 2011

When our loved ones are in need or sick, it becomes more personal, even more desperate, to resort for immediate action rather than thinking. Usually sickness spreads gloom in our mind. It Blocks and Stumbles everything in our regular course or pattern of life. BUT our Almighty Father has a miraculous power to heal us instantaneously. 

It is important to receive our physical healing through the Word of God. Old Covenant in the book of Exodus states:

“If you listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you.”Exodus 15:26

 We won’t realize the intensity of sickness, until we are sick or seen our loved ones in sickbed. God’s heart towards His people is always health, healing and happiness.

“Worship the LORD your God , and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span. Exodus 23:25-26

The Bible tells us that even when we receive the healing through the doctors we should glorify the marvelous works of God.

“Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits — who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases. Psalms 103:2-3

“If you listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you.”Exodus 15:26

“So you shall serve the LORD your God,… And I will take sickness away from the midst of you.” Exodus 23:25

“And the LORD will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you.” Deuteronomy 7:15

“The LORD sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.Psalm41:3

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."  Psalms 23:4

The healing God gives you is such a relief, which lack words to explain. It is amazing that nothing can be substituted for that.


 Fear not, when you ask God  believe that you will receive  the healing. ‘I am the LORD, who heals you’

“The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.Psalm29:11

"...by His wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:5

God bless

Obey all the law- you will be elevated-2

6 December 2011 

No one is perfect. But we can try to be perfect by heeding to the voice of God. Abide the instruction and let us be pure at heart.

• stop their ears against plots of murder 
•  shut their eyes against contemplating evil

We actually have no authority to take the life of another person(physically or even mentally)

Stop listening to any plans of bloodshed, murder (inclusive of gossip about others)-Rather than listening to gossip. 


Gossiping is a slow poison and spreads slowly and tarnish a person (on both sides).while somebody slanders the character of others through Gossip, shut your ears (of course your mind too) even if you happen to listen to it.-

DO NOT SPREAD IT.

IT CATCHES FIRE AND BURNS YOU IN RETURN.

Beware.

• Shuts your eyes from seeing evil - 

Often we are forced to walk ‘dumb- founded’ with tongue and hands are tied -up.( because of the existing worldly circumstances). This does not mean that we are immature but actually we do not want to put ourselves into such a position.(at par with evil).Since we roam about silently does not mean that we agree with it. Rather we are Shutting our eyes(mind’s eye) from seeing evil.

“Blessed is the man
  Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, 
    Nor stands in the path of sinners, 
        Nor sits in the seat of the scornful..Psalm1:1

“Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word”. Psalm 119:37

Read the following verse for a better understanding:

There are six things the LORD hates, 
   seven that are detestable to him: 
     haughty eyes, 
      a lying tongue, 
      hands that shed innocent blood, 
     a heart that devises wicked schemes, 
      feet that are quick to rush into evil, 
     a false witness who pours out lies 
      and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.Proverbs6:16-19

If you follow the law and meditate on it day and night you will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, with ever green leaves and fruits.(you are being blessed to be a blessing for others.)

Beware of the happening around you.

Keep your eyes and ears open with alert mind. 

Shun evil

 God bless you

Obey the law- you will be elevated.

5 December 2011 

Every developmental activities (all aspects) we have to bear with a hidden reverse side. Often it holds a bundle of a very strict moral and ethical principles to be adopted(inclusive of  all the pains we have to bear, to overcome the transition and the  negatives there in.) 

 Bible quotes the following as the guidelines for an exemplary character of a person, to walk uprightly in this world and on whom God shows HIS love and mercy.

“Those who walk righteously 
   and speak what is right, 
who reject gain from extortion 
   and keep their hands from accepting bribes, 
who stop their ears against plots of murder 
   and shut their eyes against contemplating evil— “Isaiah33:15

Righteousness, by definition, is the act of doing what is right and ethical in accordance with a set standard.

• Those who walk righteously means:– working with purity of thought and deed (if you have done something righteously, you have nothing to fear about)

“The one whose walk is blameless, 

   who does what is righteous, 
   who speaks the truth from their heart; Psalm 15:2

  

“The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, 
   who does not trust in an idol 
   or swear by a false god. Psalm 24:4

•  speak what is right

The way we speak (with positive or negative words) matters a lot, at the receiving end. The person who can and learns to control his tongue can be wonderful person. 
Speaking in the right way, at the right time, to a right person, is exceedingly important. Such speech has a high standard and of practical value. 
Tame your tongue. Let it spill good things and not to emit FIRE.

 “The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. James 3:6

•  Reject gain from extortion 
• Keep their hands from accepting bribes.

Bribery- is a universal phenomenon. Such accumulation of wealth, in any form is wickedness. It adds pain to life and not peace or richness. Do not accept a payment under the table; keeps your mind and hands closed.  In other words, be a honest and upright person in your dealings with other people.

Bible Warns as:

“Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the innocent. Exodus 23;8

" For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. Deuteronomy 10:17

keep this verse in your mind always.

“The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it. Proverbs 10:22

You can pray  to God to protect yourself from the worldly temptations:

“Remove falsehood and lies far from me; 
      Give me neither poverty nor riches— 
      Feed me with the food allotted to me; 
      Lest I be full and deny You,
      And say, “Who is the LORD?” 
      Or lest I be poor and steal, 
      And profane the name of my God. Proverbs 30:8-9

who will dwell on the heights?

4 December 2011 who will dwell on the heights?

“Those who walk righteously 
   and speak what is right, 
who reject gain from extortion 
   and keep their hands from accepting bribes, 
who stop their ears against plots of murder 
   and shut their eyes against contemplating evil— 

 They are the ones who will dwell on the heights, 
    whose refuge will be the mountain fortress. 
Their bread will be supplied, 
   and water will not fail them.Isaiah33:15-16

The general standards prevalent in this world is the demarcation between high and low, rich and poor, elevated and deprived .It extends in all forms, right from basic amenities to elite phase. But when God blesses his children- it is entirely different, wholesome, and thereby  they live in peace, they lack nothing, ‘cause God is the supplier.

“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty…..He is my refuge and my fortress, …my God, in whom I trust….Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence….. he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;…… no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent…….. I will be with him in trouble…… With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation. Psalm 91:1-16

This is the way we are cared for and on whom we put our trust. Among the never ending list of ‘wants’, we lack nothing, to yearn for.

“The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.” Psalm 34:10

“He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever”. Psalm 111:5

Really an awesome blessing from God .BUT there is a condition behind this. Such a peaceful life style requires a stringent way of life. (It does not mean that you have to live a strange pattern of life. But you have to follow the laws of God with grateful heart). It is simple but very hard.

All persons may not be worth of such an immaculate care. Obviously a  righteous persons are bound by a set of statues, to be blessed.

Beware that we have no role model before us and no logical decree to adopt.

WE are the children of Heavenly king (Jesus) and we have been given a NEW PATH TO WALK UPON.

“Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.  Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.”Joshua 1:7-8

Be strong and very courageous.

 God be with you
