"Although my memory is fading, I remember two things very clearly; I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior." — John Newton

"Don't copy the behavior and customs of the world, but let God transform you in to a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know and live in God's will for your life, which is good, acceptable and perfect level in the will of God." (Rom 12:2). God never changes your mind, but transforms it when you reject your own thoughts of self, world and Satan to accept His heavenly thoughts which accompanies with itself the power to change your actions when it is accepted willingly and made to live within you joyfully by the help of the Holy Spirit who brings it again and again in to the remembrance of your mind to keep the liberty which you have attained in your spiritual lives. If ever you yoke yourself in to slavery of sin being deceived by it, you again need one more time the help of God to renew your mind through His Word and the Blood of Jesus to make you clean and holy again and to be in the center of the will of God for your life.

Much Blessings......

Do What You Can, Then God Will Do What You Can't!

JUST P.U.S.H >> An Inspirational story<<

Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

A man was sleeping at night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with light, and God appeared. The Lord told the man he had work for him to do, and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin. The Lord explained that the man was to push against the rock with all his might.

So, this the man did, day after day.

For many years he toiled from sun up to sun down, his shoulders set squarely against the cold, massive surface of the unmoving rock, pushing with all of his might. Each night the man returned to his cabin sore and worn out, feeling that his whole day had been spent in vain.

Since the man was showing discouragement, the Adversary (Satan) decided to enter the picture by placing thoughts into the weary mind: "You have been pushing against that rock for a long time, and it hasn't moved."

Thus, he gave the man the impression that the task was impossible and that he was a failure. These thoughts discouraged and disheartened the man.

Satan said, "Why kill yourself over this? Just put in your time, giving just the minimum effort; and that will be good enough."

That's what the weary man planned to do, but decided to make it a matter of prayer and to take his troubled thoughts to the Lord. "Lord," he said, "I have labored long and hard in your service, putting all my strength to do that which you have asked. Yet, after all this time, I have not even budged that rock by half a millimeter. What is wrong? Why am I failing?"

The Lord responded compassionately, "My friend, when I asked you to serve Me and you accepted, I told you that your task was to push against the rock with all of your strength, which you have done. Never once did I mention to you that I expected you to move it. Your task was to push.

And now you come to Me with your strength spent, thinking that you have failed. But, is that really so? Look at yourself. Your arms are strong and muscled, your back sinewy and brown; your hands are callused from constant pressure, your legs have become massive and hard. Through opposition you have grown much, and your abilities now surpass that which you used to have. True, you haven't moved the rock. But your calling was to be obedient and to push and to exercise your faith and trust in My wisdom. That you have done. Now I, my friend, will move the rock."

At times, when we hear a word from God, we tend to use our own intellect to decipher what He wants, when actually what God wants is just a simple obedience and faith in Him. By all means, exercise the faith that moves mountains, but know that it is still God who moves mountains.

When everything seems to go wrong . just P.U.S.H.!

When the job gets you down ... just P.U.S.H.!

When people don't react the way you think they should ... just P.U.S.H!

When your money is "gone" and the bills are due....just P.U.S.H!

When people just don't understand you, just P.U.S.H.

P= Pray
U= Until
S= Something
H= Happens

"When you try what you can by faith, the Lord God will do what you can't by His Almighty Power." — Abraham Israel

Keep Yourself Positive By Rejoicing In The Lord!

Keep Boundin Up And You Will Stay Positive

Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

The following is the lyrics of the poem from the short film “Boundin” from Disney’s Pixar. I fell in love with this short film along with it’s terrific message and the amazingly cute animation a long time ago when one of my friend tagged me with it in Facebook. Now it sits on my computer, and my little son and niece watch it all the time. The great thing about this short film is that it coincides with the message the great Apostle Paul tried to convey to all believers saying, "Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice." (Php 4:4). This is the favorite theme that I would love to practice in my life and also see others practice it too to experience heaven on earth. If we choose to rejoice and be happy by our good and positive choice irrespective of our circumstances, it makes God happy to shower more and more of His power and favor upon our lives. Jump for joy as long as God gives you life in this body, because each moment becomes a memory of a lifetime if we choose to be happy and rejoicing as God is working on our behalf behind the scenes to make all bad and good things of our lives work together for our good, and to give us a expected and a glorious future in the end. Never give in to self-pity to destroy your glorious life that should be used fully to be happy and rejoicing in the Lord no matter what. When you are happy all the time by choosing to rejoice in the Lord, you are making Satan and his evil cohorts sad all the time because they want you to be sad. To make you sad, they give you thoughts of self-pity that might make you think that you are bad, ugly and mad because you actually do not qualify and therefore God is angry with you, that is the only way they can make you miserable before God and people. Choose to think positively by being happy and rejoicing all the time through the Word of God and you will be surely having heaven on earth itself all the time!!!!

Enjoy the lyrics and the song:

Here’s a story on how strange is life with its changes And it happened not long ago. On a high mountain plain, where the sagebrush arranges A playground south of the snow Lived a lamb with a coat of remarkable sheen, It would glint in the sunlight all sparkly and clean, Such a source of great pride, that it caused him to preen. And he’d break out in high stepp’n dance. He would dance for his neighbors across the way. I must say that they found his dancin’ enhancin’, For they’d also join in the play. Then one day… Then a-boundin up the slope Came a great American jackalope. This sage of the sage, this rare hare of hope, Caused to pause and check out the lamb. “Hey kid, why the mope?” “I used to be something all covered with fluff, And I’d dance in the sunlight and show off my stuff, Then they hauled me away in a manner quite rough And sheared me and dropped me back here in the buff. And if that’s not enough, now my friends all laugh at me Cause they think I look ridiculous, funny, and pink.” “Pink? Pink? Well, what’s wrong with pink? Seems you’ve got a pink kink in your think. Does it matter what color? Well, that gets nope. Be it pink, purple, or heliotrope. Now sometimes you’re up and sometimes you’re down, When you find that you’re down well just look around: You still got a body, good legs and fine feet, Get your head in the right place and hey, you’re complete! “Now as for the dancin’, you can do more, You can reach great heights, in fact you can soar. You just get a leg up and ya slap it on down, And you’ll find you’re up in what’s called a bound. Bound, bound, and rebound. Bound and you’re up right next to the sky, And I think you can do it if you give it a try, First get a leg up, slap it on down…” So every year, along about May, They’d load him up and they’d haul him away, And they’d shave him and dump him all naked and bare. He learned to live with it, he didn’t care, He’d just bound, bound, bound, and rebound. Now in this world of ups and downs… So nice to know there are jackalopes around. Much Blessings....

There Are No Eternal Good Bye For A Christian

The Revelation Of, I Wish You Enough To Meet You Soon!

Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

A mother and daughter in their last moments together was overheard by another believer who was standing near by.

They had announced her plane's departure and she was standing near the door, she said to her daughter, "I love you, I wish you enough and hope to meet you soon enough."

She said, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed as you have showed me what it means when God Himself compared his Love to be like that of a mother (Isa 66:13). I wish you enough to meet you soon, Mom."

Then they kissed good-bye and she left.

She walked over toward the window where this man was seated. Standing there He could see she wanted and needed to cry. He tried not to intrude on her privacy, but she welcomed him by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would not be forever because of Jesus?"

Yes, I have," he replied. Saying that brought back memories he had of expressing his love and appreciation for all his Mom had done for him and how she taught him to trust God by faith. Recognizing that her days were limited on earth, he took the time to tell her face to face how much she meant to him and no matter what how Jesus has given them a hope for a reunion again because He said, "I am the resurrection and the life. They who believes in Me, though they may die, they shall live." (John 11:23, Paraphrased).

So he knew what this woman was experiencing. "Forgive me for asking, but why is this not a forever good-bye?" he asked.

"I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral, " she said.

"When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, 'I wish you enough to meet you soon.' May I ask what that means?" She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations by faith. My parents used to say it to everyone who believed Jesus."

She paused for a moment and looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, she smiled even more. "When we said 'I wish you enough to meet you soon,' we were wanting the other person to have a eternal abundant life filled with enough good things to sustain them on earth and for eternity," she continued and then turning toward this believer she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory.

"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Good-bye to meet you soon as there are no eternal Good-bye for a Christian."

As this believer man realized the hope they both had in their own life of a life beyond this world in Jesus, both of them began to rejoice God and praise Him for the eternal promises of more than enough which He had given to them to meet each other soon (John 10:10). Then when they were about to part ways after the journey, the man said to the old woman, 'Mama, I wish you enough to meet you soon,' and she wished the same blessing over him. With tears of joy they reminisced the experience of the God encounter of their journey to rejoice daily to have their hope strengthened in God. Death is not an end of life, but is the beginning of a never ending life with God and all our loved ones who have believed in God and have appropriated the gift of eternal life that He has given in Christ Jesus.

"If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master." — Michelangelo

"Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" (Php 4:4).

Startled By Storm - D. L. Moody

Peace In A Damaged Ship

Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

"God's peace transcends our storm to make us enjoy His Presence and focus on His power." — Abraham Israel

During a sea voyage from Southampton to New York, the evangelist D. L. Moody was suddenly startled by a crash and shock. The shaft of the vessel had broken, causing serious damage. That first night was a dark experience for the ship’s several hundred passengers. Crowded together in the saloon of the first cabin were Jews, Protestants, Catholics, and skeptics—although Moody doubted if there many skeptics among them at that time.

Sunday morning dawned without help or hope; as night came on, Moody asked permission to hold a service in the saloon. Nearly every passenger attended. Steadying himself by a pillar, Moody read out Psalms 91 and 107:20-31; he prayed that God would still the raging of the sea and bring them to their desired haven. Psalm 91:11 was profoundly touching: “He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.”

Moody had thought himself superior to the fear of death; he had preached on it, been fearless under fire during the Civil War, and visited the sick during a terrible cholera epidemic. But on that sinking ship it was different. He knew that there was no cloud of sin between his soul and Saviour—but what of his beloved ones at home? It almost broke him down. He had to have relief, and that came through prayer.

God heard his cry so that from the depth of his soul, Moody could say, “Thy will be done!” Sweet peace came to his heart. He went to bed, fell asleep, and never slept more soundly than in all his life. “Out of the depths I cried unto my Lord, and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears” (see Psalms 130:1 and 34:4)—that was Moody’s experience.

At about 3 A.M., Moody was roused by his son. A steamer had seen their signals of distress! It undertook to tow the damaged ship 1000 miles to Queenstown. If a storm arose, the cables connecting the two vessels would snap like a thread, but Moody was confident that God would finish what He had begun. The steamer’s captain, a man of prayer, sought God’s help in the task. Though storms were all around, none came near the broken ship. A week after the accident, due to God’s good hand upon them, a joyous thanksgiving service was held in the Queenstown harbour.

—William Revell Moody, The Life of D. L. Moody

God's Love The Greatest!

The Greatest Act Of God's Love Is Salvation Through Jesus Christ

Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

When Jesus was on this earth, He said: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). This is the Gospel—the good news of Jesus Christ!

“For God” - Who showed the greatest love
“so loved” - the greatest amount
“the world” - the greatest number
“that He gave” - the greatest act
“His only begotten Son” - the greatest Gift
“that whosoever” - the greatest possibility
“believeth in” - the greatest simplicity
“Him” - the greatest Attraction
“should not perish” - the greatest promise
“but” - the greatest difference
“have” - the greatest certainty
“everlasting” - the greatest possession.

"God's love is immeasurable, immovable, untamable, unchangeable, everlasting, ever loving, never changing, never rude, always forgiving, always friendly, hates sin, helps sinners, shows the way to heaven, showers your way with heaven. When we see that the greatest things in life are not what can be bought with money, then we come to understand that the greatest thing in this life on earth is Love that God has showered on us in Christ Jesus to make us as His children and shower His blessing and life forevermore." — Abraham Israel

The Ultimate Price For Our Sins

The Leap Of Faith To The Luxury Of Faith!!!

Åρ☺ṧ☂◎ℓї¢ ℐᾔ﹩℘ḯґαт☤☺η :

The very thought of humbling and accepting ourselves as spiritual beggars who are actually sinners in need of the Savior Jesus' cleansing blood to wash us clean and give us salvation from sin becomes the stumbling stone for many religious minded people who even say that they are Christians by birth.

God has no grandchildren but he has from the toddlers to juveniles to adults to old people as His children who have put their faith in Jesus death as the substitutional sacrifice before God for their own sins, and believe that He is the perfect redemption price for all their sins of past, present and future time. Those who think that because of their Christian or religious heritage they automatically qualify to be God's sons and daughters are deceived if they are not born again and have not the Spirit of Christ within them.

God has given an equal opportunity for all humans to become His children, He himself has said in His Word, "12 But as many as received Jesus, to them God gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in Jesus' name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." (John 1:12-13, Paraphrased). Human tendency to work out our own salvation without accepting ourselves as sinners in need of the Savior is the root of pride that leads all of the religious minded people to go straight in to hell fire for eternity to be away from God and his goodness forever and ever.

God has clearly told that Jesus has paid the full price for all our past, present and future sins, and all we need to do is to believe that truth and accept that "8 ... by grace we have been saved through faith, and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works that we do or have done for God, lest anyone should boast about it before God, and be destroyed in pride before God like Satan. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them by the strength that comes from Him and Him alone." (Eph 2:8-9, Paraphrased).

The next time you meet a friend that is self-righteous to be saved by his own works, share the truth of the full Gospel of Jesus Christ with them and pray for them to get saved from sin and destruction that awaits all humans who are apart from Jesus Christ to face death at the end alone. May God open our inner eyes and ears of our heart to fully understand to lean on the perfect redemption of full price that Jesus Christ paid for us, obey the Gospel by walking in the strength of God as saints who love one another, having forgiveness and being kind to each other, doing the good works that God has beforehand prepared for us who are saved. You cannot save yourself by your good works, but once you are saved you can keep doing the God prepared good works to glorify God in your day to day life through the grace that comes from God through Jesus Christ who died for your sins, rose up on the third day by God's power to make you stand just as if you have never sinned before God at all. Now that you have been made a saint in Christ Jesus, walk worthy of His calling by hating sin and loving God for His grace through faith. This is actually the full gospel.

Now that JESUS HAS SAVED US IF WE HAVE ACCEPTED OURSELVES AS SINNERS IN NEED OF THE SAVIOR BEFORE GOD, He has sacrificed Himself for us and have already walked before us as OUR PERFECT EXAMPLE OF FAITH IN ACTION to please God by doing His will, let us also likewise learn to do God's will and follow Jesus Christ in our character to please God and enjoy a eternity of friendship and favor with Him.

"Faith is like the hand of the beggar that takes the gift while adding nothing to it." ~~~Thomas Chalmers~~~

Religion Vs Relationship With God

Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus

By Jefferson Bethke

What if I told you Jesus came to abolish religion
What if I told you voting Republican really wasn't His mission?
What if I told you republican doesn't automatically mean Christian
And just because you call some people blind doesn't automatically give you vision

I mean if religion is so great, why has it started so many wars
Why does it build huge churches, but fails to feed the poor
Tells single moms God doesn't love them if they've ever had a divorce
But in the Old Testament, God actually calls religious people whores

Religion might preach grace, but another thing they practice
Tend to ridicule God's people, they did it to John The Baptist
They can't fix their problems, and so they just mask it
Not realizing religion's like spraying perfume on a casket
See the problem with religion, is it never gets to the core
It's just behavior modification, like a long list of chores
Like let's dress up the outside make it look nice and neat
But it's funny that's what they use to do to mummies while the corpse rots underneath

Now I ain't judging, I'm just saying quit putting on a fake look
Cause there's a problem if people only know you're a Christian by your Facebook
I mean in every other aspect of life, you know that logic's unworthy
It's like saying you play for the Lakers just because you bought a jersey
You see this was me too, but no one seemed to be on to me
Acting like a church kid, while addicted to pornography
See on Sunday I'd go to church, but Saturday getting faded
Acting if I was simply created just to have sex and get wasted
See I spent my whole life building this facade of neatness
But now that I know Jesus, I boast in my weakness

Because if grace is water, then the church should be an ocean
It's not a museum for good people, it's a hospital for the broken
Which means I don't have to hide my failure, I don't have to hide my sin
Because it doesn't depend on me it depends on him
See because when I was God's enemy and certainly not a fan
He looked down and said I want, that, man
Which is why Jesus hated religion, and for it he called them fools
Don't you see so much better than just following some rules
Now let me clarify, I love the church, I love the Bible, and yes I believe in sin
But if Jesus came to your church would they actually let him in
See remember he was called a glutton, and a drunkard by religious men
But the son of God never supports self righteousness not now, not then

Now back to the point, one thing is vital to mention
How Jesus and religion are on opposite spectrum
See one's the work of God, but one's a man made invention
See one is the cure, but the other's the infection
See because religion says do, Jesus says done
Religion says slave, Jesus says son
Religion puts you in bondage, while Jesus sets you free
Religion makes you blind, but Jesus makes you see
And that's why religion and Jesus are two different clans

Religion is man searching for God, Christianity is God searching for man
Which is why salvation is freely mine, and forgiveness is my own
Not based on my merits but Jesus's obedience alone
Because he took the crown of thorns, and the blood dripped down his face
He took what we all deserved, I guess that's why you call it grace
And while being murdered he yelled
"Father forgive them they know not what they do."
Because when he was dangling on that cross, he was thinking of you
And he absorbed all of your sin, and buried it in the tomb
Which is why I'm kneeling at the cross, saying come on there's room
So for religion, no I hate it, in fact I literally resent it
Because when Jesus said it is finished, I believe he meant it

Post by Everything is Jesus.

No One Is Disabled Until They Lose Hope

Not Disabled But Only Differently Abled

"Though the world has fallen in to sin and the consequences of it has affected all humanity spiritually, physically, mentally and in all other areas of humans existence, yet the mercy, kindness and grace that we have received through Jesus Christ has lifted up humans above all our inabilities of our lives to give us all a meaningful existence with which we can hold our head high if we believe that God is good even though life may not be fair to everyone in the same way." — Abraham Israel

People who persevered to succeed despite handicaps and disabilities :

Beethoven (composer) - was deaf
Ray Charles (musician) - was blind
Thomas Edison (inventor) - had a learning problem
Albert Einstein (scientist) - had a learning disability
Terry Fox (runner) - is an amputee with cancer
Stevie Wonder (musician) - is blind
James Earl Jones (actor) - was a stutterer
Helen Keller (author) - was deaf and blind
Marlee Matlin (actress) - is deaf
Franklin D. Roosevelt (president) - was paralyzed from polio
Vincent Van Gogh (artist) - was mentally ill
Woodrow Wilson (president) - had a learning problem
Itzhak Perlman (concert violinist) - was paralyzed from the waist down
Stephen Hawking (physicist) - had Lou Gehrig's disease (of the nervous
system)

This shows that people with disabilities are not really disabled but they are actually differently abled to bring glory to God in many others ways that even a physically abled person cannot do in the same way. A person can never be disabled until he loses hope in his mind. God didn't do a mistake in creating a good and a very good world, and then allowing it to be fallen in to sin. Rather to reveal the glory of God He has allowed even the bad things to happen so that those who believe the unchanging goodness of God could be able to see how God works all things together for our good at the end, even when it might be bad on the way to the end.

Much Blessings.......

God Comforts Us Like A Mother!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MESSAGE

For this is what the Lord says; AS ONE WHOM HIS MOTHER COMFORTS, SO I WILL COMFORT YOU; AND YOU SHALL BE COMFORTED ( Isaiah 66:13 *NKJV )

Dear Saints, We cannot measure the tremendous love that God has for His Children with our limited human mind. However, I do believe the closest thing on Earth to that great love, is the love a Mother has for her child!

Therefore, on this day we honor that special lady in our life, our Mother. So; MAY YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER BE GLAD; MAY SHE WHO GAVE YOU BIRTH REJOICE! ( Proverbs 23:25 ) and may she be filled with God's Love, Hope, Faith, and Peace today and everyday! Read the following story that I believe will speak to your heart....

WHY ARE YOU CRYING, MOM?

"Why are you crying?" he asked his Mom. "Because I'm a woman" she told him. "I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will"..........

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason? "All women cry for no reason" was all his dad could say........

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry...

Finally he called on to GOD asking Him to reveal this puzzle; when GOD noticed that he was serious enough to know the answer from Him, He came to him in a vision of the night. In that vision the man saw himself asking God, "GOD, why do women cry so easily?" and GOD said.......

When I made woman, she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the World; yet, gentle enough to give comfort....

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children......

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining......

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly...

This same sensitivity helps her to make a child's boo-boo feel better and shares in their teenagers anxieties and fears.......

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.....

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but, sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.....

I gave her tears to shed. They are hers to use whenever she needs them. They are her secret strength. They make her more like ME.....

Much Love & Prayers for Blessings,

Apostle Abraham Israel
