You can make it through

There are lots of questions lingering on our minds today.
We ask a lot of times "How could God be pleased with me???? I am such a sinner!!!!" and there are so many poetic ways we say the same thing. It all can be summarized as "That we don't believe God is happy with us, we do not believe that He is pleased with us"

Go back a few years; to when you were a child, recollect the kind of thoughts you had "Oh my I fought with my brother/sister, I think Santa Claus is not gonna give me a gift this time" or when you did something terribly wrong and your relative just made a totally unwarranted statement "This boy IS like this, what will happen to him if he grows up" in response your parents beat you black and blue instead of consoling you because their ego was hurt by that statement of your relative

Here we are, thinking we are mature and grown up, still entangled in the same thought. We even start to think God is not doing anything in my life because He is angry with me, or is it something I did. We have started to believe every wrong thought that comes to our mind and we just are not able to believe anything good.
There is a perpetual fear that our name got registered in the wrong book in heaven. "I am black listed for life".

Guess what!!!! There is hope for us.


Bible speaks of only one book and it's called the "Book of life" and if you believe in Jesus your name is recorded in that book.
Interestingly, there is no book called "Book of death". It speaks volumes about the nature of our God.
It seems like He chooses to ignore our daily sins.
Many would argue that God can remember sins even without recording it in a book, then my question to them is then why the book of life???
Lets get back to our topic of discussion: "How can it be that He simply chose not to record any of our sins????"
It is true, this is what Jesus did on the cross "He took all our sins on Himself, He became a curse for us, He died a death which He did not deserve So you and I can live a life that we don't deserve". God remembered our sins once and for all on Jesus and because of Jesus we have a hope. It was and is Grace all the way!!!! Hallelujah!!!!

Talking about the book of life, God chose to record our names who believe in Jesus because of Jesus' righteousness.
Hebrews 8:12 says "For I will be merciful to their iniquities and I will remember their sins no more"

Our Daddy God's primary focus is Jesus. 1 John 4:17 "... as He is so also are we in this world". It is not us that daddy is looking at, it is Jesus.
Jesus is holy and so are we, Jesus is beautiful and so are we, Jesus is obedient and so are we. Whatever Jesus is before the father so are we.
Start to confess this; it is okay if people around you think you are mad.

Go on Confess. You should hear yourself say it. For long you have confessed otherwise. Now accept the righteousness of the Son and be blessed.
Know that there is no book of death, there is only book of life.
Daddy is not recording your sins. He is just waiting for you to come to Him through Jesus.

God Bless

The Price was His Blood

After giving our life to Jesus when we sin, we confess but, time and again when we commit the same sin we grow to be guilty of it, we start hearing voices(accusing) within us and eventually we start doubting His mercy and His grace. This morning I was reading 1 John 2:1-2   "My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defence—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world." - NIV His word I dare say is Impeccable. His word is true. The conditional world that we live in makes it hard for us to believe and understand that the Love of Jesus is unconditional. We surround our thoughts with questions that bring us down so bad the result is guilt. I have heard my friends say "God cannot forgive me for what I have done" talking about my friends I don't want to deny that I lived in ...

Receiving the Spirit

Galatians 3:2 says  "This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?" For most part we quote the verse this way. "Have we received the Spirit by works of the law or by faith” But what we quote is wrong. Paul is very clear in his question  “Have we received the Spirit by works of the law or by the  hearing of faith ” Notice the words “ hearing of faith ”. I remember a friend of mine he was desperate to receive the gift of tongues. He saw his friends who believed in Jesus after him receive the gift of tongues. His desparation led to frustration. Few of my so called intelligent friends took him all places for pastors and leaders to pray for him so he would receive tongues, when he did not it only increased his frustration. He given up all hopes about receiving the gift of tongues. It started to hurt him when he heard “tongues is the basic and also the most powerful of the gifts” All...

Heart, where your treasure is

Mathew 6:19-21 “ Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal, For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” M ost of us read this passage and move ahead because we do not understand and worse draw conclusions which leave us in bondage. We end up thinking oh my God I have been laying up treasure in the wrong place. What we fail to understand is that this passage is speaking of the finished work of Jesus and we living in the finished work of Jesus. You might be wondering “How on earth is this passage speaking of the finished work of Jesus??????” Well, lets see!!!! T he primary purpose of this passage is not where we lay up the treasure instead it is Jesus' desire that we are in the right place, that our heart is in the right place. B efore we get to t...
