“And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name” ( Philippians 2:8,9).
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST is the Name above all the names.
Whenever we pray and praise, we should practice to claim the Lord’s Name and His attributes. We will develop a deeper connection and experience His presence and power. His Names are powerful. He is our Dad; we should know His Names and attributes. His Names reveal His nature and character.
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST holds the ultimate power and authority over all creation.
At the Name of JESUS every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things on earth, and things under the earth; and every tongue should confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.
“The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that hope in his mercy” (Psalms 147:11).
During one of the visitations, The Lord Jesus Christ revealed His loving heart to me. It saddened my heart. His heart was full of burden. The burden was seen increasing every second. He also shared His deepest grief to me and told that He weeps for every child. His tears were seen as huge drops of blood. The blood from His eyes symbolizes His agony, the sorrow, the grief and the pain.
His heart is full of sorrow. And the burden is too heavy that He sheds tear drops of blood. God is good. “Thou art good, and doest good” (Psalms 119:68).
There are lot of activities going on in the Heaven but in the Throne Room He is alone. He yearns for your love. He wants you to love Him. Like a child who waits for the mother’s love HE waits for you to love Him.
“For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly” (Psalms 84:11).
If our focus is on the world and if we miss the waiting hour then He is much hurt. He waits for us but if we neglect Him it’s like crucifying Him again.
The love of God is so true. His tender touch, His sweet voice will melt the toughest heart. Surrender wholly to Him and wait for Him. Have a specific schedule for prayer and wait at that hour regularly and He will wait for you. Talk to Him as how you talk to your friend or to your loved one. Love Him. Staying away from all that are sinful proves your love for Him.
Prove your love for God by abstaining from sinful activities.
Love Him with all your heart, soul and mind: for His heart bleeds for you.
Will you wipe the tears of your Dad Lord Jesus?
Can you share His sorrow and burden for the souls?
Let’s save souls and gladden the heart of our Father.
The wind blows gently. There is a subtle silence. Floral fragrance around. The sun has almost set and dusk has begun. Judas is alone. The tempter is by his side. His weakness is known. He hears the sweet gentle voice. He lends his ears and the devil moves into him and dwells in him.
Judas, this world will know you.
Judas, every mother will tell about you.
Judas, your name will spread far and wide.
Judas, every writer will describe you.
Judas, eye has not seen nor, ear heard the things prepared for you.
Judas, you will not lack anything.
Judas, you will be like the olive tree.
Judas, you are the candlestick and you will sit beside me.
Judas, you will be with me eternally.
Judas, I am the king of this world and you are my son.
Do it!
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, As a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8).
My son, When you were hungry I fed you. When you were thirsty I quenched your thirst. When you were crying I wiped your tears. When you stumbled I held you. When you were sick I healed you. When you were lonely I was your companion. When the world hated you, I loved you.
“Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them” (Jeremiah 15:19).
God, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, forgives all our sins, but we hesitate to forgive one another. The more grudges we have on one another, the further we go away from the Lord and His blessings.
It’s difficult to please the Lord without wholehearted repentance.
One brother used to speak in tongues. The pastor of that mega church to which this brother belongs did not have the gift of discernment. This brother used to have hiccups. And it was so loud that he used to disturb the entire church. One Sunday service he disturbed a lot, so the pastor came down from the pulpit and put his hand on this brother, and this brother laughed aloud, and the spirit in him revealed all the sins of the pastor. He was heavily possessed. So pastors and prophets feared to pray for him.
This brother was a ruffian. He used to walk around the market area with a big sword in his hand, and he used to collect money from every shopkeeper and business owner. This went on for many years. He was popular even among the police force.
It so happened that one day someone gave two bananas to his mother and asked her to give them to him. This man ate one and gave the other to his child. There was witchcraft in it, and from that day he started to have hiccups. Everyone used to fear him; that was the kind of possession. He spent a lot of money on medicine, but nothing happened. He started seeking God, and someone had given my sister’s contact number. He used to call my sister and get himself prayed for. We called him home.
My sister had a very powerful gift of discernment; she bound the tongues that he was speaking, for he had evil tongues. I and my sister started praying for him, and when I put my hand on him, he said it was burning and felt the fire of the Lord. He was rolling, screaming and vomiting. For six days we prayed for him. God forgave all his sins. delivered him, and anointed him. Now he is a prophet. God is using him mightily.
Miracles never happen when the minister of God has a grudge on anyone or expresses anger at any flesh and if he has not repented wholeheartedly. God is very merciful, but while doing deliverance ministry, one has to have a clean, holy, and perfect heart.
The thoughts and the deeds are open to the Heaven and Hell.
Once a pastor fought with his wife before leaving home. In a fit of anger, he left home and drove recklessly. He met with an accident and died on the spot. He has been serving the Lord for several years. His spirit was before the Lord. And the Lord was not pleased that he fought with his wife. Wholehearted repentance and the Lord’s forgiveness are two of the basic criteria to enter Heaven. God is very merciful; He sent the pastor’s soul back to his body to repent and ask forgiveness from his wife. God is good; He is our Father, and He wants perfection in every soul. He corrects each and every one. He creates situations whereby we learn our mistakes and accept them to reform ourselves.
One cannot proceed further in the Lord or in the ministry with an unforgiving heart. It will destroy one’s peace.
“But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire; Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift” (Matthew 5:22,23,24).
Repentance is the key to unlock the Lord’s blessings. Repentance and Reconciliation will replenish and refresh your soul.
Forgive our sins as we forgiver those who sin against us.
One’s life will be ruined by guilt about sin. It will increase our misery and weed out our joy. The relationship we have built over the years with God is severed by sin, which stands between us and God. It is very painful for God.
“For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation” (Psalms 149:4).
Only the meek will repent. Pride will not bow. Pride will not kneel. Pride will never pray.
Kneel and bow in meekness, or raise your hands and surrender to the most merciful Father, and His heart will melt.
God hates the contentious and argumentative spirit and the spirit of wrath.
God will forgive. But He is seas of anger; repeated sins by a minister of God will provoke His anger, and He will surely punish in order to correct. But Satan will mock and put the minister of God to shame.
You might be the best singer or a musician in your choir or a popular leader among the members of your congregation, and you might attend the church with the best of your attire during every service, but if you have not pleased God, you will end up in hell. God sees your heart, your thoughts, your eyes and your deeds.
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19).
Repent and Reconcile with God, let your soul replenish refresh and be revitalised.
You can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens you with physical strength, spiritual strength and financial strength.
“When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed” (Matthew 8:1,2,3).
St. Francis of Assisi was too wealthy. He had a fear and abhorrence of lepers. One day, while riding his horse near Assisi, he met a man afflicted with leprosy. The sight of the leper filled him with horror and disgust; he was shocked and disturbed, but he got off the horse and kissed him. The leper put out his hand hoping to receive something. Out of compassion, Francis gave money to the leper.
But when Francis mounted his horse again and looked all around, he could not see the leper anywhere. He realised that it was Lord Jesus whom he had just kissed.
Francis could have neglected and passed away but he heard that still small voice that guided him to stop, reach out and embrace the man with leprosy.
That gesture of humbleness and obedience to the Lord’s voice transformed him to be a mighty saint of God. Lord Jesus Christ guided Saint Francis to minister even to the Muslim kings and to baptise them.
“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares” ( Hebrews 13:2).
“Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away” (1 Corinthians 13:4-8).
God will humble us and test us to know what is in our heart. He who has pity and lends to the poor, lends to the LORD, and God will bless him multifold.
Help the poor and the needy. Pray for the sick. Visit the widows and the fatherless, bless them and be blessed forever.
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:38).
The eyes of the Great Yahweh Elohim moved to and fro and found a young girl separated from her childhood. She was chosen before the foundations of this world. She was in the wilderness. She loved the Lord more than her toys. She had no friends, she preferred to be alone. When the girls of her age were with the world she was with the Jehovah. God’s eyes were on this child. He kept watching her. A miraculous historic plan was created for her. A plan that would stir the marrows of anyone who hears.
Child Mary separated herself from the world prepared in the isolation for the Holy Historical Mission.
Nothing of this world could tempt or trouble her or stain her. Her focus was only on the calling. She was trained by the Holy Spirit from her childhood. She silently submitted to be moulded as the vessel for the Master’s use. In order to come in flesh this Mighty El Shaddai chose this young girl who got separated from the world at the age of 3. There was no other girl than her, perfect and holy as per the Lord’s standard and requirement for the mission.
“Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word” (Luke 1:38).
Her thoughts were not on the society that would mock her but to be a perfect handmaid for the Lord to accomplish His plan.
MOTHER MARY WAS THE WAY TO BRING THE WAY FOR THE WAY OF THE CHILDREN.
Theotokos was incredibly holy. She was The Holy Ark and The Throne Room of God. The Perfect One to hold the All Perfect. Her life was as clear as crystal and immaculate. God truly honoured her. She has been given a Royal place in the Heaven.
She was the perfect holy vessel, a plan for the accomplishment of the Lord’s plan. God truly honoured her. For her obedience
Let Mother Mary be an example to everyone. Her “yes “ to the Lord truly exemplifies her obedience and submission to the Father’s plan. . She took up a great responsibility to carefully look after her son Emmanuel with diligence. A young girl of that age accepting this responsibility shows her great strong grit, willpower and courage. Father Joseph, the Father of Jesus in flesh took up equal responsibility in taking care of Him and protecting Him and doing exactly as the Angel of the Lord guided him. Both Father Joseph and Mother Mary accepted all the hardships during the draconian rule of then king to protect the Plan of the Lord. The mission which was truly impossible for anyone to imagine.
Her holiness, her acceptance, her humbleness and accomplishment of the Lord’s plan has gained a royal throne in the third Heaven. We have to learn lot of lessons from her life. Be humble, accept the Lord’s calling, and willing to do everything for the Lord.
Mother Mary’s Pure Holy life was the foundation for the Holy Atonement. She was the sacrificial altar where she nourished and grew the blemish-less perfect Lamb of God.
If you seek the Lord you will be honoured but if you seek the world you stain your life and soul.
“Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity” (1 Timothy 4:12).
Be committed to the Lord’s calling and do not get yoked with anything that’s ungodly. Avoid spiritual lethargy and be wholesome in action and integrity in doing the will of God.
“The Lord Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and for ever” ( Hebrews 13:8).
Pastor Daniel Yusuf and four other brothers, tied by the extremist and left on the railway tracks for their Christian faith. Hands tied back with ropes. They started singing how great is our God.
As the train was approaching fast. Pastor Daniel and four other brothers started shouting that they would die but not deny Jesus.
The train was dangerously close and the extremists had retreated near their vehicles. and were watching them. His last prayer, “Heavenly Father, into your hands I commit my spirit. Forgive these men, for they know not what they are doing. Use our death to glorify your name”.,
Just 10 seconds left, At that last gasp of time that air around changed and an invisible presence, but of a tremendous power and majesty had entered the scene. The gentle blowing wind stopped completely. Everything was still. A figure luminous silhouette, transparent as crystal, but bright as the midday sun appeared directly over the tracks, positioning between them and the locomotive. A liquid light pure glory from the very divine presence materialized in the human form. The figure simply extended the arms to the sides as if preparing to receive an impact.
The train the mass of tons of steal travelling more than 80 kms per hour began to slow down. Not a normal deceleration, no screeching of emergency brakes, no sparks flying from the wheels rubbing against the tracks, no characteristics metallic sound of a sudden stop. It was as if a gigantic invisible hand has simply grabbed the train and began to stop it gradually, smoothly as if it were a mere child’s toy being stopped by its owner
The extremist watching from distance were confused and thought it was a witchcraft and fled, As the train continued its impossible deceleration the silhouette in front of them became sharper and sharper. They recognized the hands that had deep marks in their palms. They also recognized the feet that carried the scars. It was Him. It was Jesus it was their Redeemer and Saviour the King of kings and the Lord of lords standing physically present on those tracks in stopping 150 ton locomotive with nothing more than the power of the divine presence.
The train stopped completely at exactly 3 meters from them. They could hear the hiss of the engine smell of the oil.
The train was completely motionless as if it had been frozen in time and space. The figure of theLord Jesus then turned to them. His eyes like liquid fire filled with love so intense, so pure, so perfect that they felt their heart would explode with joy. The Lord Jesus looked directly to the Pastor Daniel and said, “My son your faith has saved you. Rise up”. In that very instant the ropes and the cables that bound him to the tracks loosened by themselves. They did not break, they were not cut. They simply came undone as if invisible hands had carefully and precisely untied them.
All the five of them kneeled on the tracks in front of the miraculously stopped locomotive and worshiped the Lord.
The Lord Jesus smiled at them. A smile that seemed to contain all the tenderness and goodness of the universe. He began to fade, gradually becoming translucent and finally a golden light remained floating in the air for few seconds and disappeared.
The hand of the Lord is mighty and powerful. His saving strength is magnificent. When He can split the sea, breakdown the walls, stop the river, and can tie the mouth of the lion, He can do anything and everything. He will protect us and save us in all situations. He is the saving strength of the Anointed.
There is one more mighty sign and the world will know that the coming of the Lord is near. There will be persecution, torment and torture, but the Lord will never forsake us.
“He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation” (Psalms 91:15,16).
Even if men come before you with arms and ammunition do not fear call the Lord, call Him with all your Might or silently in your mind but call Him “Lord Jesus” and He will save you. He hears even the faintest cry. If you are gifted with speaking in tongues, speak in tongues the enemy will fear and flee.
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST is Omnipotent. He is our Rock, our Fortress and our Deliverer.
