Let Your Confession Be Your Profession!







"14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." (Heb 4:14-16).

Jesus is Our Compassionate High Priest who is representing us before God the Father in heaven. The Father God has given permission already to Jesus to give all blessings of heaven to all of His children on earth, because all of their sins have been paid for by Jesus and as a result of it all the children of God are once and for all time justified before Him (Rom 3:25-26; Phil 2:9-11). In other words, God the Father has appointed Jesus on behalf of us to approach Him and disperse all the blessings of heaven to us freely if only we continue to ask Him (Matt 7:7-8).

For example, if we are depressed on a particular day from the time we woke up in the morning. Say we are making a good choice to submit to God's word which says "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." (Psa 30:5). In other words according to God's will for us, joy should be the natural state we should be in even if the past night had been a stressful and a depressive time of weeping due to the circumstance we might have faced. In such a situation if we continue to believe God's word and keep on confessing it through our mouth with a great expectation to experience God's word, it is a sign of humble submission to God's will and His Word. Jesus will receive your petition and will release from heaven what you are expecting according to HIS WORD! Praise the Lord!!!

JESUS is very compassionate and sympathizes with all our weaknesses of the inherent sin nature which usually makes the devil to have foothold in us with out us realising it many times and release his deathly depression over us. When we keep believing the power of the Word and keep confessing it to ourselves and to Jesus (Psalm 39:3; Rom 10:17; Heb 10:22-23), Jesus will pour out His "oil of joy for mourning" (Isa 61:3, c). When you face severe trials don't run away from Jesus as your feeling suggests you, but run to Jesus for He is having the answer to every one of your problems that you are facing. He wants you to be a winner in Him. Let us believe and confess the WORD OF GOD in all the situations and also make it as the profession which we are called to do as Christians.

Therefore, let us hold fast our profession [of confession which is to reject our so called feelings of the earthly, fleshly and demonic circumstantial oppression and keep on believing the unchanging, eternal word, heavenly and spiritual Word of freedom for the situation we are facing right now.] (Heb.4:14).

Say it out loud, "I choose to reject all the feelings that says contrary to God's word and will continue to believe and confess what God says regarding all the situation I am facing. May every man be found a liar and God be found true. (Rom 3:4)."

I AM A SPIRITUAL MAN AND WILL ALWAYS WIN IN THE END BECAUSE I ALWAYS MAKE A GOOD CHOICE TO BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH IS THE TRUTH THAT WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL OVER ALL FEELINGS THAT WILL COME AND GO TEMPORARILY. Praise the Lord! ☺








You Say, God says. Choose What He Says To Be Blessed!




Stop What You Are Saying, and Dare To Believe and Say What God is Saying!


"6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, “‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”" (Rom 10:6-11).

As the word of God says, if we choose to confess with our mouth what God has already revealed in our heart as His will for our lives, only then deliverance, salvation, victory over sin, healing, prosperity and wholeness can be obtained by us. We cannot become a blessing until we ourselves are blessed mightily. So choose to say what God says and be blessed to be a mighty blessing to many.

DO IT!







When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he’d stuck it out.
Don’t give up, though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are -
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit -
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit. 

~ Anonymous


When it seems to be the hardest,
And you feel like you can move no more;
Just one more step by the Grace of God,
Is all you need for that breakthrough to take;
Praise God that you have moved one more step towards your Destiny,
The Eternal One patting on your back saying, "Well Done, you just need this every day,"
"When time is no more, you will be with Me in bliss for your valiant effort! 'DON'T QUIT!'"

~ Abraham Israel


"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Phil 4:13, NKJV).

The Daily Heart Cleanser









An old Farmer lived on a farm in the mountains with his young grandson. Each morning, Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading from his old worn-out Bible. His grandson who wanted to be just like him tried to imitate him in any way he could.

One day the grandson asked, "Papa, I try to read the Bible just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Bible do?"

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and said, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring back a basket of water."

The boy did as he was told, even though all the water leaked out before he could get back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, "You will have to move a little faster next time," and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again.

This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was "impossible to carry water in a basket," and he went to get a bucket instead.

The old man said, "I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You can do this. You're just not trying hard enough," and he went out the door to watch the boy try again.

At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got far at all. The boy scooped the water and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, "See Papa, it's useless!"

"So you think it is useless?" the old man said. "Look at the basket."

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket looked different. Instead of a dirty old coal basket, it was clean.

Smiling the Grandpa said, "Son, that's what happens when you read the Bible. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, it will change you from the inside out."

What do we understand from reading this beautiful story?

Truly making us remember the word of God and bringing it in to our mind at the point of our need to transform us is the pure work of God (John 14:26; 16:13-14), but to put the word regularly inside our heart for the Holy Spirit to use in our lives is our duty (Psa 119:11). If we do not do our duty, we cannot blame God for staying in the same stagnated spiritual state of mediocrity. Lethargic spiritual attitude makes us leaky and dry without spiritual strength. To change us from the inside out and to slowly transform us into the image of His Son (Rom 12:2; 2 Cor 3:18; Phil 2:12-13; 1:6), we should cooperate with God by allowing Him to do His work. By givng Him our time and mental faculties through reading of HIS HOLY WORD, we are setting up a platform for ourselves to live a transformed lives. Take time to read a portion of God's word each day and you will become spiritually clean every day, as it is like taking a bath to keep ourselves clean physically. And also remind a friend by sharing this story. Praise the Lord!








If You Really Believe 'In Jesus', Confess It Now!

The Most Important Question of Your Life? Life After Death!







A wealthy and a powerful king called the wisest man in his court, asking him to find the greatest fool in his kingdom.

The king handed the fool's staff to the wisest man. 

And each day the wisest man went to all the domain of the king to find the greatest fool in his kingdom.

One day the king took a important decision and made an announcement of deep regret. As the wisest man was the chief aide for the king and a right hand man, he rushed back to the king's palace where he was lying in his death bed suddenly.

The king said, "I am about to commence on a long long journey. I shall not return, Except I don't know my final destination." 

Immediately the wise man sprang in to action and gave the king his own fool's staff. 

The wise man said to the king, 'Here was a man who was going on a long long journey but did not know his final destination, even though he was unable to return.'

This parable applies to you and me because one of these days we will commence on that long long journey. This is a journey that we must travel and there is no escape from it. We will depart this life.

My question to you today is, "TO WHERE YOU WILL GO AFTER DEATH?"

If you have received JESUS  as your personal Savior and Lord, then you will know deep within your heart that you will be in heaven after you die, just as Jesus Christ has promised in His Word (John 14:2-3). Those who have not received Jesus before their death as their Savior and Lord will end up in hell fire because of sin (John 3:18-20; 8:24).

If not, why not invite Jesus in to your heart now saying this short prayer, "Lord Jesus, I am a sinner and I need you to save me from it. I cannot save myself from sin which will eventually lead me to hell fire. Be the Lord of my life from this day, I surrender my life to you. I thank you for forgiving me all my sins faithfully and then choosing to live in my heart as you have promised in your word (John 14:23). Amen and 
Amen!" Praise the Lord!

"I shall pass through this life but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it. For I shall never pass this way again." ~ Etienne de Grellet


Live for Jesus and tell others to answer this most important question in their life before it is too late.

The Miraculous Aftereffect of Faith







Say it out loud, "I'd rather be optimistic and a fool to others around me, than to live pessimistic and be right before all." There is a thin line named as optimism that runs between those who are walking in faith and those who stay in doubt.

Many do not want to take the risk of believing the dreams that God has given them, because they want to conform their lives to the worldy wise system which runs by fear and promotes its hidden agenda of failure by doubt. All of us are created to wildly dream about our future and aspirations that God has put within us.

Faith is spiritualized imagination, that keeps us optimistic and hopeful of a great future. Faith thoughts are always beautiful with a positive emotion attached to it. Faith is always positive in its outlook towards life. On the opposite, doubt is always negative and fear is attached to it as an after effect.

Faith is a supernatural thought material that God supplies from heaven, when the outlook around us look so bleak and hopeless.

Apostle Paul one of the greatest apostolic man who practiced positive lifestyle in the midst of much difficulties around him, showed the way to live such miraculous life by saying, "...Brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]." (Php 4:8, AMP). In other words, Apostle Paul is teaching all the apostolics to always think positively with optimism always and live in the supernatural realm of faith. To be optimistic is a good choice we make voluntarily by choosing to think on the positive things and make ourselves hopeful in God, rather than let ourselves think and live negatively by allowing circumstances of our lives dictate us.

B.C. Forbes beautifully describes about this optimistic faith by saying, "He who has faith has... an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well - even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly."

Truly optimistic faith and positive emotions are stuffs miracles are made of. In other words, optimistic thoughts of faith and positive emotions are like a mason using the bricks to put a foundation on day one and start to keep building on it day after day. After a period of time, a miraculous home of peace, love and serenity of God-kind starts to indwell in the finished product, which was only a blue print on a piece of paper when the intial direction was given on day one by the Engineer. Optimistic faith leads a ordinary man to reach a extraordinary destiny, a mundane happening to become a miraculous ordainment and a courteous man in the natural become a courageous achiever in the spiritual realm of receving God-thoughts and living in the miraculous. Praise the Lord!

The next time you feel doubtfully pessimistic, throw away that garbage out of your mind and replace with an optimistic faith filled thought which bring positive emotions and lead you to your God-Destiny of your dream life that God has shown you. God is faithful to fulfill the plans He has for you, so keep travelling the road of faith with great optimism. Best Wishes and meet you on acheivers club on the trophy day!

Faith enables persons to be persons because it lets God be God. ~ Carter Lindberg

Don't Gather Bundles of Sticks to Build Bridges You Never Cross







"Cast your burdens unto Jesus, for He cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7).

To cast burdens to Jesus literally means 'to throw all of your cares, sorrows, doubts, fears and hopelessness completely' in to the hands of Jesus, after which you keep believing that He will bring the right solution to you.

How do we throw our burdens in to Jesus' hands? It is through praying to him.

This is what the Bible says to us, "6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Phil 4:6-7).

Once we pray to Jesus and give all our burdens completely to Him, then we should cease from thinking about the same problem when the devil tries to bring it back in to our mind. Many people after praying and giving Jesus the burden in the morning time, spend the rest of the day worrying about it. It is like you are disposing your garbage in the morning and suddenly some one brings it back to you after some time and you say to him, 'Thank you for bringing it back' and then you are keeping the garbage inside your house which makes the whole house stinky.

When Jesus gives us peace after we have given our problems to him, it is like Jesus telling to us personally that He has taken all of our problems and that He will solve it in His time and in the way that will seem best to Him. Peace is a receipt that gives you the evidence that all your problems have been taken care off completely by our KING JESUS and HIS SUPERNATURAL HEAVENLY CORPORATION.

The next time when you receive the receipt of peace from Jesus, relax and lie down TO ENJOY YOURSELF AND THANK GOD. You have received a gurantee that all your problems will surely get solved from King Jesus. What more do you need, continue in His peace and you will be peaceful, happy and above all satisfied in your life.
