*.* God hears you and you have a future in Christ! *.*
Jeremiah 29:11-15 (New King James Version)
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
13 And you will seek Me and find
Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
14 I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.
God hears your prayer. And when we seek Him, He will be found by us. This is all possible because Jesus died for our sins and we can be together with God today. Amen. We are the blessed.

*.* Fear of man? *.*
Have you ever fear of a certain people? Like your teacher, boss or even your enemies? Well, fear not! God is your helper. Jesus will never leave nor forsake you.
Hebrews 13:6(New King James Version)
So we may boldly say:
The LORD
is my helper;
I will not fear.

*.* Worry? *.*
Matthew 6:25-34 (New King James Version)
Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
So who of you who by worrying adds a centimeter to your height? So don’t worry, be happy. Our heavenly Father knows all things and He will provide. Amen. =D

*.* More faith?? *.*
Have you had days when you feel like you have no faith at all? Like an off day? Well, i personnel think that its ok. We keep forcing ourselves to have more faith and more faith, but how can we get it?
You should know about John the baptist? He is call a great man of God and he was called to prepare the way of our Lord Jesus. He baptist Jesus and the heaven open up and a dove flew down to Jesus. There is a voice saying " this is my son, my Beloved Son whom in Him, I am well-pleased".
Matthew 3:13-17
John Baptizes Jesus
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.
14 And John
tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”
15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit
it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.
16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.
17 And suddenly a voice
came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
You see, John the baptist saw the heavens open up and even heard God's voice. Yet later in the part, when he was in prison. He lost his faith. He send a messenger asking if Jesus is the one or should he wait for another.....
Matthew 11:1-6
John the Baptist Sends Messengers to Jesus
1 Now it came to pass, when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples, that He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
3 and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?”
4 Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
5 The blind see and
the lame walk;
the lepers are cleansed and
the deaf hear;
the dead are raised up and
the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6 And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”
Whenever i lost my faith, God will always remind me of this which in turn, boost my faith. We are under the ministry of NO CONDEMNATION! Don't condemn yourself for not having faith. Instead, thank God for the story of John. You see, God is a good God. He does not kick you when you are down. How can you recover when you are already down, and someone kick you in the face again?
Our God encourages! That's why He put the story of John the baptist inside to let us know even great man of God have OFF DAYS!!!!! John the baptist must have been having a VERY OFF day to ask if Jesus if He is the one when he heard what the voice from heaven. LOL! =)
so how to have more faith?
Romans 10:17 (New King James Version)
17 So then faith
comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. Listen to sermons. Read the bible.

*.* Jesus is your strength.... *.*
Philippians 4:13 (New King James Version)
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Are you weak in some area? For example, you are weak in controlling your temper. There's hope. Christ is your hope. He will be your strength. He is your strength. Through Him, you can do all things. Anything, the bible says. Anything means anythings.
Your bad habits. Through Christ, your bad habits shall be no more because He gave you the strength to do it. He gave you the strength to carry on. Amen. =D

*.* Claim it in Jesus' name. *.*
John 10:10 (New King James Version)
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have
it more abundantly.
Jesus Himself said that He came to give life and give it more abundantly. What is abundantly of life? It means that your health is whole, you are prosperous and you are joyful. How do you have life more abundantly when you are weak in health, no money in your pocket and unhappy? That's not life.
Imagine you are in a beach, lying down sun-tanning. Taking a slip off your coconut juice. Lying back and say 'This is LIFE". We have a rough idea of what life is already. How to have it more abundantly? It's only through Jesus, by Jesus and focus on Jesus. He is the truth, the light and the way. Amen.

*.* A laughter a day, keeps the doctor away... *.*
Proverbs 17:22 (New International Version)
22 A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
God puts in the book of wisdom, proverbs this verse for a reason. He wants us to be happy. To be cheerful always. A apple a day does not keep the doctor away. It will only when it throw it at the doctor. A laughter, a healthy and happy heart will keep the doctor away. Be happy. There's a reason to smile always. Jesus died for your sins. If this reason is not good enough, i don't know what is a good news anymore!
Thank you Jesus. =D

*.* It's ok to get angry.... *.*
Ephesians 4:26 (New International Version)
26"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
In your anger do not sin. I really love this passage. It's ok to be angry but your action when you are angry does speak a lot. Why shall we sin when we are angry? We could just cool down. Anger is NOT a sin. It's part of your emotion that God created for you to feel.
There are actions which are correct to do. Someone scold you, sue him. Someone steal your thing, report to police. There are proper ways in handling situation.

*.* Speak positivly *.*
Proverbs 18:21 (New King James Version)
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit.
We are really programmed into speaking negatively. We say, i am dying for a cake. If you die, u can't have the cake. Why don't we say we are living for that cake? When our back hurt, we say, my back is killing me. Guess what, your back will respond to it and really kills you!
Speak life to your body. It shall be make whole. You are the healed!

*.* God is slow to anger *.*
Psalm 103:8 (New International Version)
8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
.
God is not fair, He is unfairly GOOD. He is never far, He is always near. He is slow to angry and abounding in love. You are loved by God. You are His precious child. Through Jesus' work, you are a child of God. That makes Him good. He took your sin and punish on Jesus' body so that we can enjoy what He blessed Jesus with.
It isn't hard is it? We just need to receive. Jesus is there for you. He is always there. He never leaves nor forsake you. He hears your prayer. He feel your pain. He is your savior, your Lord and most important, your friend.
=D
