Vacuumed in Spirit - Be Healed

Topic: Vacuumed in Spirit - Be Healed

Highlights:

 Praise the LORD, my soul, and never forget all the good he has done: Psalms 103:2

The lifestyle of a man is attracted to remember troubles and so easy to forget things that are in order.

I'm pointing this out also to guide anyone having trouble with other humans to understand that people who trouble them are humans taken up by such lifestyle.

If you have anyone troubling your peace of mind all You can command the Holy Spirit to change their lifestyle from them.  Or ASK THAT SUCH LIFESTYLE BECOMES UNEASY FOR THEM AND THEY BECOMES UNSETTLED WHEN THEY INDULGE IN SUCH LIFESTYLE.

No one can fight their maker. St. John 14:14 says "If you ask me to do something in my name, I will do it."

This is a higher calling. We should not create a vacuum in our spirit to tolerate trouble! Once you forbid such acts with such command others will behave themselves in their accord before you.

In Mark 4:39 The stormy sea knew that if it refused to behave itself before Jesus- The King of Kings it may be sanctioned. It remembered the days of Moses and days of Elijah. The Sea knew what Jesus could do, so it obeyed.

He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. Mark 4:39

Prayer: Father, I command every lifestyle around me that is not giving glory and honour to your name be changed for good now in Jesus mighty name.

Power of Undying Love for God

 An Emoji Devotional for Thu, 8 September 2022

Topic: Power of Undying Love for God

Highlights:

My people ask their wooden idols for help. A piece of wood tells them what to do. A spirit of prostitution leads them astray. They commit adultery by giving themselves to other gods. Hosea 4:12

The dangers are great when a husband and wife have few interests in common. "Your husband is your maker. His name is the LORD of Armies. Your defender is the Holy One of Israel. He is called the God of the whole earth" Isaiah 54:5

God want us to be only for Him as husband who does not want His woman to love another. God always wants to be there when we need him and he promises to give us all that can satisfy His own. David understood that many people after receiving God's blessings desire to build canal relationship with worldly pleasure which later could make them lose interest in Godly ways of life. He promised God many times in Psalms 23:6 and Psalms 27:4 that

"Certainly, goodness and mercy will stay close to me all the days of my life, and I will remain in the LORD's house for days without end."


"I have asked one thing from the LORD. This I will seek: to remain in the LORD's house all the days of my life in order to gaze at the LORD's beauty and to search for an answer in his temple."

If you truly desire God's blessings that will change your life. You must be ready to recognise yourself as God's love and must be willing to accept that you belong to him and will remain His at all time. As God's bride, you must agree to remain in God's house and NOT have any plan to go away longing for another love. Our love for God must be an undying love. It was idolatry and spiritual adultery that lead the children of Israel into captivity of their enemies but as God would show mercy he sent Jesus Christ to come to save all who will be willing to return back to the love of their Husband who is their creator.

If you are still living in sin, it is time to repent before it is too late. Jesus is calling all sinners to repentance as the love of God never dies but our sin is the cause of rejection. Read James 4:4

Prayer: Dear heavenly creator, my husband, my maker, Lord of Armies, my defender, The Holy one of Israel, My God, the God of the whole earth. I love you forever and will always love you forever. I declare my love for you in Jesus name. Amen.

Don't forget - Jesus is Coming

 An Emoji Devotional for Monday, 29 August 2022

Topic: Don't forget - Jesus is Coming

Highlights:

No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you. John 14:18


Brethren, don't give up your hope. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself went through the hardest of rigour to bring his creation back to Himself. He has opened that aspect of you that was lacking exposure of The grace of God to its proper understanding that we humans, all need God to become a proper person. However it is not by animal or human sacrifice to idols that will make us come to the Father but by Salvation through Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ was not buried with His cross neither did he ressurected holding any. Your cross is all the burden of self righteousness, human pleasing doubt and self efforts to satisfy the heavenlies. While we think we were trying to please God, we were all pleasing ourselves. Jesus left that cross broken with his body, stained by His blood and rendered it powerless by Saying "It is finished" leaving it where it was, went to the grave and ressurected to glorify the grace of God. Now to those who are having the cross in their conscience -its a mystery. To those who are still buried out of enlightenment of grace - it is a puzzle but for all who are already enlightened into ressurected grace of God - It is a secret. Psalm 25:14. The secret will not be revealed to all but only to the spiritually ascended souls who can not be corruptible again forevermore.

Now through same grace, Jesus said "I am coming and my reward is with me" (Revelation 22:12), to those who believed and were enlightened by His grace, His coming will not take long as we were already joined with Him in spirit of same enlightenment and of knowledge of God's Grace that His Holy Spirit already is dwelling within us. He is dwelling already within the aspect of ourselves and we believe He is coming soon. God forbid that we should expect Him like canally minded people without enlightenment expecting that things just happen with human psychology but as He has purposed and arranged for his elect that We will experience His coming in glory. Amen Mark 13:26. It is a blessing to the enlightened ones who believed.

May His Coming remain a mystery to the canal minds forevermore. Amen

Prayer: The grace of Jesus Christ be with me. Amen

Surviving on every word that God speaks

 An Emoji Devotional for Wed, 27 August, 2022

Topic: Surviving on every word that God speaks

Highlights:

Jesus answered, "Scripture says, 'A person cannot live on bread alone but on every word that God speaks.'" St. Matthew 4:4

Jesus was hungry, he had just fasted forty days and forty nights and was lead to be tempted in the desert. Some people would have blamed the leadership of heaven why will the Spirit ask them to go to the desert at such particular time. First of all we have to understand why desert

It reflects something in Jesus's life that is cold, meaningless, unenjoyable, or lack respect. Feeling empty inside or that nobody cares about Him. Endless or unbearable boredom. Feelings about a situation being barren, or stark. An enduring kind of deprivation. A longing for life to be fresh and fertile again.

The Spirit is likewise foretelling Jesus that He is moving into a new zone where anybody could be His worst enemy within a twinkle of an eye. He will experience situations that seem empty, unbearable or pointless. Situations of betrayal, denial and death.

If you find yourself in a deserting situation, remember to be equipped like Jesus Christ. Before the angels comes the tempter. So what must be your first priority in mind?

That for you to be fulfilled in life, you need not only 'bread' but every words that God speaks. This could only happen to you by having the Holy Spirit - "the Spirit of Truth" dwelling in the interior part of you according to John 16:13

Only those who are born again and sanctified can have the Spirit that speaks the truth of God's word.

Life is a desert to those who have aims and ambition given from God. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour if you have not done so - surrender your life to Jesus and ask him to give you the Holy Spirit, and if you are already a born again Christian, please continue walking in the way of light. Read your Bible everyday to learn more about Jesus and Holy Spirit. Let God bless His Word in your life and make it grow on a fertile soil Matthew 13:8. Amen

Prayer: Blessed Holy Spirit of Christ lead me out as a winner from the desert of life to the throne of grace today in Jesus Name. Amen

Warriors of Worries

 An Emoji Devotional for Wed, 24 August, 2022

Topic: Warriors of Worries

Highlights:

Zechariah said to the angel, "What proof is there for this? I'm an old man, and my wife is beyond her childbearing years."

The angel answered him, "I'm Gabriel! I stand in God's presence. God sent me to tell you this good news.

But because you didn't believe what I said, you will be unable to talk until the day this happens. Everything will come true at the right time." Luke ,1:18-20

Your faith in God is what will cover you not any proof you will be needing in your life's journey. In St. Luke 9:3 Jesus told His disciples, "Don't take anything along on the trip. Don't take a walking stick, traveling bag, any food, money, or a change of clothes" because he knows that God will make provision for them.

Warriors of Worries are the people who serve God, they have seen angels and have dreamt and have seen God in action   on different occasions but still placed emotional or psychological need of use of discretion to avoid disappointment should God change His plans. But "God plans does not change His plans!".

They are always asking for proofs after prayer. They are always cautious because they think they will be embarrassed if things change and don't go as planned by God's promises. Has God ever changed? They already have a mindset that cannot be ignored or laid off should things not go as planned by God. Where is your faith? Luke 8:25, When the world around you have made you someone who measure up self worth to determine confidence in 'what if' or 'i need a proof' type to become reality because in your thinking you have actually labelled yourself a stammerer'?

In Exodus 4:11 The LORD asked him, "Who gave humans their mouths? Who makes humans unable to talk or hear? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? It is I, the LORD!

God has determined from the beginning of times that there will be no proof given to this 'warriors of worries' no matter how earnest their demand is so as to strengthen their faith. In Mark 8:12 "He(Jesus) sighed deeply in his spirit and remarked, “Why do those living today demand a sign? I tell all of you with certainty, no sign will be given to this generation.”


If you wish any good upon yourself God's promises for your life will come to reality BUT it's either you choose the faith of Grace according to St. Luke 1:38 Mary answered, "I am the Lord's servant. Let everything you've said happen to me." Then the angel left her.

OR

But because you didn't believe what I said, you will be unable to talk until the day this happens. Everything will come true at the right time." Luke 1:20

The timing of God work is "at the right time" but we have to believe and forget our worries if we really want to receive the promise. Add this to your prayer and faith. Change your ways to Psalms 46:10 Let go of your concerns! Then you will know that I am God. I rule the nations. I rule the earth. Otherwise an angel may force it upon you.

Blessed are those who are gentle. They will inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5

But first, be concerned about his kingdom and what has his approval. Then all these things will be provided for you.

"So don't ever worry about tomorrow. After all, tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:33-35

Prayer: Lord among wide range of opportunities, I stand and gaze the sight of your great promises to me. I accept the challenge to believe in you without seeking any signs. Now I agree you are working on my behalf and at the right time, I will glorify your name when I acknowledge that truly The Lord has done great things for me. In Jesus name. Amen

A safe rock in the midst of breakers – Sabbath rest for God’s people

 

An emoji devotional for Mon, 22 August 2022

Topic: A safe rock in the midst of breakers – Sabbath rest for God’s people

By Pastor Hans Wenger

Highlight:

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)

We are living in the time Jesus has depicted to his disciples as follows:  “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth-pains.” (Matthew 24:6 –8)

A few years later the Apostle Paul writes to Timothy:  “But mark this: there will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God – having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.” (2. Timothy 3:1–5).

 With the last sentence Paul made clear that Timothy will already encounter such people in his time. Today they are numerous and because the mainstream media are eager to distribute and propagate their philosophy they appear as the majority, who is belittling, censoring and persecuting the true followers of Christ. They do not want to hear that healing and prosperity is in following the word of God. “Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no-one will perish by following their example of disobedience. For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” After the Israelites had entered the Holy land under the guidance of Joshua it would have been time observe the decrees of the Lord and to live a holy life. However, the people did what they wanted and provoked the wrath of God. Jeremiah 14 gives us a glimpse into a desperate time. The people do what they please, although there is a devastating drought, the ground is cracked and the wells are dry. God tells Jeremiah not to pray for the people, because He does not want to listen. They have to bear the consequences of their disloyalty. When Jeremiah finally desperately exclaimed: “Do any of the worthless idols of the nations bring rain? Do the skies themselves send down showers? No, it is you, Lord our God. Therefore our hope is in you, for you are the one who does all this” (Jeremiah 14:22), God answered him: “Even if Moses and Samuel were to stand before me, my heart would not go out to this people. Send them away from my presence! Let them go!“ Judgment cannot be averted anymore, but nevertheless there is hope.

God tells Jeremiah: “Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me; if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman. Let this people turn to you, but you must not turn to them.”

There is no doubt that the ungodly world and the unfaithful church to God, will come into judgment. The good news however is that the rock of ages, Jesus Christ, stands unmovably and victorious amidst the breakers, calling out: ‘Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.“ God’s throne of grace is accessible for every human being, regardless of his or her past, and it is the only place where forgiveness and life eternal can be received. We must turn ourselves and guide our fellow travelers to Jesus and distance ourselves from the deceit of the world. Colossians 3:2-4 teaches us: “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.”

 Brothers and Sisters, we are not far away from entering the rest God has promised to us. Before the terrible Judgments described in Revelation will sweep over the world, God will resurrect the followers of Christ from their graves and will snap the still living away for a big meeting in the air, which will be the beginning of our eternal rest in the presence of the Lord. 

(1 Thessalonians 4:17) is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. “Therefore encourage one another with these words.” (4:18) 

Prayer: Lord Jesus, reveal to me the meaning of your word as you have revealed it to the Emaus disciples. Keep me from deceit and misinterpretations. Thank you, that your word “is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.“ (Hebrew 4:12) I long to enter into your and into my rest. Amen.
