Fighting GOD!

Does GOD really exist?

Everyday people come up with all sorts of proofs to prove HE does and HE doesn’t exist. In this world where being godly is considered to be completely outdated, how strong has to be the faith of the one (somebody who like many believers has never seen GOD face to face) who believes that GOD exists! To many, such a man is a complete ‘stupid’.

But his faith keeps him going. Many believers all around the world are still persecuted because of their faith! But they continue to live amidst all pain because their Faith is stronger than their feelings. These believers don’t need a proof that GOD exist but they just don’t know how to prove it to the world. They go on living their lives believing that GOD exists and waiting for the day they will finally get to see GOD they always believed existed.

Bottom line is that the truth will ultimately reveal itself. Maybe not now. But it will. And when it does, we will have our winner.

And what if the winner is the believer? Others who spent countless hours in proving that GOD never existed will finally find themselves fighting no one but GOD HIMSELF! 

What is Religion? / Do Christians force their faith on others?

People think Christianity is a religion. That’s not true! Like other religions Christianity doesn’t provide a set of rules! Those who believe JESUS CHRIST and all HIS teaching and follow HIM are called Christians. That is ‘Followers of CHRIST’.

Religion is all about do's n don’ts. It imposes ones perspective forcefully on others. It can never change a person inside out. That’s why one should "hate" religion, and love GOD.

When people say that Christians go around converting people, the truth is actually entirely different. Don’t we go and tell our friends to try out a new restaurant if it’s our favorite place? We love to encourage people to do something we enjoy doing.

It’s the same thing with Christians! We believe that this life on earth is finite. And there is a life after we die. That life would be a life of eternity. And only the Grace of GOD can help us to live the life of eternity in Heaven with HIM!

Our choice can either save our life in eternity or abandon us forever! It is the love for our brothers and sisters in the world that drives every true Christian to preach the good news to all.

The Choice is in your hand!

JESUS loves you!

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.

LORD'S NOW

‘See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.’     Is. 43:19

How 'NOW' is HIS 'NOW'???

How long does HE expect us to wait??

Hopes keep fading!!! Time keeps running!!

When will it dawn??

I wish these feeble hands of mine

could tear open the veil of uncertainties

and at least see the glimpse of HIS light!!

How long do I wait in despair ??

LORD please don't delay no longer!!

May your 'NOW' be ‘NOW’!!

LORD nothing seems right ‘NOW’... My heart is sinking deep…
 all YOUR promises are right before me…

I know my future is not uncertain...

But when will it all come to pass??

How long do I wait?

Teach me to be patient LORD…

YOUR ‘NOW’ might not be my ‘NOW’!! But I know that when YOUR ‘NOW’ is revealed my waiting ‘NOW’ will be all worthwhile.

GOD'S Got Great Plans For U!!!!

This is how HIS plans work for those who love GOD

1.      GOD tells you HIS plans (maybe through vision or through HIS word etc).

2.      HE confirms those plans either through HIS prophets or through verses or maybe even both.

3.      You get all excited!

4.      Now, you wait

5.      You wait 

6.      You wait 

7.      You wait ……………………………………………………..

N.  You are still waiting.

    And now you start thinking was HIS promise really for me? Will GOD really speak to me? Do I have a future hope?

    In the Holy Bible Joseph received a vision that one day his whole family will bow down to him and that he will be in a very high position. But there he was in the pit, rejected by his own brothers. (Genesis 37 onwards)

   David was anointed king over Israel (1 Samuel 16:13) and there he was in the field tending the sheep. 

     Abraham was promised a son (Genesis 12 onwards) but his wife Sarah was barren.

   We might start doubting GOD when HIS promises don’t seem to be fulfilling and the situation keeps deteriorating from bad to worse. But what we do not see is that the pit and the barrenness is actually a part of HIS magnificent plan.

   Today if you find yourself in a pit asking GOD, “How long must I endure this pain?” I encourage you to thank GOD for where you are. Because HIS Amazing plan for you has begun! And once HE is done shaping you, you’ll understand why you had to undergo all the trials. All the trials you endured would ultimately seem nothing when HIS plans start fulfilling!

   GOD says:

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him” 1 Corinthians 2:9

   Keep loving GOD and expect great things to happen soon!!  GOD loves you!

HE Giveth More Grace by Annie J. Flint

Annie J. Flint, who was Blind, Cancerous, Arthritic and Orphan wrote these words:

He giveth more grace as our burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength as our labours increase;
To added afflictions He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials His multiplied peace.

When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
Our Father’s full giving is only begun.

Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,
Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;
The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.

His love has no limits, His grace has no measure,
His power has no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.

You are not Destined to the Dustbin!

I was thinking of throwing this "strechy" piece of thread. But, then I ended up making a wrist band with some "accessories"(which again were destined to the dustbin ;) )..

Moral of the story: If you are thinking that you are hopeless and your life has no purpose. How about asking GOD to reveal HIS purpose to you and to start working in your life? HE will surely show you the right directions. 

And who knows you might end up being something really beautiful you never thought of !

Remember JESUS loves you! and You are not Destined to the Dustbin !

HE Came To Set the Captives Free

Isn’t it preposterous when someone calls you a “Slave” or “Captive”? We live in a free country. We have our rights as free citizens. Yes, of course, we are accountable to our higher authorities, but we are NOT their slaves. We are FREE!

Are you sure? Are we really free? Can we really say that? How many of us have a habit that has become a part of our life. Some of those habits may be really good but not all of them. How many of us have had a thought we start struggling with, only to find the more we fight it the more we seem to get caught up in it. Some thoughts or actions might seem nothing at first but they end up being addictive and sometimes, even shameful. And then for some it even ends up being a repetitive guilty pleasure (no matter how happy you are doing it, you always end up being guilty).

We have all sailed the “Guilt Boat” at some point or the other in our lives. It’s easy to get caught in such situations when it all seems innocent at first but it doesn’t take long before it all gets messed up. You find yourself struggling to get out but it always seems too late. It’s become so repetitive and addictive that now you think “you can’t live without it”.

Isn’t that captivity? Well I am not here to judge. All I want to tell to all those who can relate to whatever was said earlier, is that there is an ANSWER! How about trying to give the reigns of your boat into the hands of Someone who actually cares about your wellbeing and is as much desperate as you are (may be even more!) to help you get out of your situation. Come on, you have nothing to lose. Haven’t you tried everything? What’s the harm in giving GOD a chance?

How about asking GOD who promises to love you no matter what, to take control of your life? Ask HIM to teach you to love yourself and not hurt yourself. Ask HIM to help you have control over your thoughts and actions. JESUS is a loving friend. HE is never going to get frustrated if you fail trying. HE will always be standing right next to you to pick you up and dust you off when you fail. HE is not going to condemn you when you fail. You can always trust HIM. The more you let HIM control your life the more control you will have over your own life! Trust me, experience talks!

And the best part is your mind is actually in your control. But sadly not many of us realize it. When you ask for GOD’s help he doesn’t steal your reigns away but HE helps you to steer your boat in the right direction! Now, how cool is that!

I hope you will one day let your guards down and give GOD a chance. All the best for a captivity FREE life!  And remember “HE Came to Set the Captives Free”!
