Jeremiah 9:4-6

9:4 ” Beware of your friends; do not trust your brothers. For every brother is deceiver, and every friend a slanderer.

9:5 ” Friend deceives friend, and no one speaks the truth, they have taught their tongues to lie; they weary  themselves with sinning ,

9:6 ” You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me” declares the Lord”

God truly answered my prayers finally!! I spent thinking and questioning what I needed to know why would they be more than being enamored of Lord and Jesus Christ seriously?

I have experienced and dealt the situation I had with Christians and non Christians friends. It was very rough path until I understood clearly that we are living in the middle of the deception, because of unwillingness to acknowledge our Savior Jesus Christ deeply. As we live here this world we do tend to qualify and look for a better person to be a friend, because of the personality, social class, interests, and etc. I understand we need a friend in our lives, but we must to know  that Jesus Christ is a REAL FRIEND because He never qualifies. He is more than any friend I chose in my life. He knows me everything before I knew. That is a real friendship.

I have a lot of issues I really wanted to share about the definition of friendship even though God told me to hold on for a while.

One thing I wanted to let you know that we need to learn to be very simple and humble friend than being a good or best friend. I am very enemy to the word “best or good friend”. I don’t ever need to compare with Jesus Christ. I learned to keep with Him all the time no matter what the situation happens, and have a dependence on His Truth especially The Bible.

Be a simple friend if you are willing to acknowlege our Father Lord entirely.

Peace!

 

A Personal Quotation to share….

” I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes”

                                                                                             Carrie Miller, my niece

 

What incredible and power word from my niece Carrie! I am very grateful and blessed to have her as my niece. She is very special teenager. God brought me to feel very excited and motivated knowing that I am not ashamed of the gospel though. 

Sadly to see many Christians and Non Christians are struggling as they could not understand or stand up for Jesus Christ’s sake, they use hiding because of their reasons that don’t want to feel criticized or judged by the men’s rules. It would call them no faithful, which means don’t feel faithful enough to God. I understand that they might have a fear, but still no faith enough to God, no matter what the situation or issue happens. Remember God loves them even though very hurtful by who don’t feel faithful to Him or reject Him.

I truly wanted to share this exceptional quotation as a true example of how my niece Carrie believes and lives under God’s Control by her joy, faith and love to God. She is not ashamed nor afraid of anything that relates to Jesus Christ. That is such a blessing!

2 Corinthians 11: 13-15—Satan

11: 13 ” For such men are false apostles, deceitful, workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ”

11: 14 ” And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light”

11:15 ” It is not surprising, then if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve” NIV

11: 23 ” Those men are false missionaries. They lie about their work. But they make themselves look like true missionaries of Christ”

11:14 ” It is no surprise! The devil makes himself look like an angel of light”

11:15 ” And so, it is no surprise if his servants also make themselves look like preachers of the Good News.  They and their work will come to the same end” NLV

 

This issue always happen here in the world, be very cautious. Watch at how they act, speak and work as well. When we are very close to God, we will  know the exact way they–false apostles or servants do against God’s Words. We do not need to be surprised just be aware and cautious no matter what. It is one of the biggest challenging in our lives.

How can we prevent or guard this situation? Just be more serious and closer to God with all our strength especially heart, mind, and soul. Spend praying, praising, learning and doing what God tells you firmly. Just obey Him seriously. He will protect you from the false apostles. We must be more devoted and hungry of being closer to God and Jesus Christ. It will show us to understand better the difference by the Holy Spirit.

Philippians 4:19—Prophecy

4:19 ” But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” KJV

4:19 ” And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus” NIV

 

He will do as always when we are thirsty and hungry to get knowing more about Him and His Son Jesus Christ. God is so merciful and compassionate to who are hopeless, unloved and needy people as well, He will collect what they need His Help when they are lost in salvation. 

As Christians we are, we must be more than our own flesh. We need to get more desired and hungry for God’s Mercy, He will provide you what you need. More than you expect or wish. He has different way to provide  your needs. Jesus Christ expects us to be like His Example as He has done. Jesus Christ wants us to devote and adore with all our hearts, minds, souls and our strength as well. Again He will meet you all your needs if you are glorifying Jesus Christ as our King Savior that saved our lives from the sin.

Also God will meet the non Christians such as lost when they are wondering such as curious about God in their hearts. He will be more than happy to guide that person no matter what how terrible sinner that person is. Unexpected and Mysterious way as He has to meet and guide. Because of His Love as God longs to save that person. He will provide its needs thru Jesus Christ.

Psalm 13:5-6—Love and Discipleship

Psalm 13:5 ” But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation”

Psalm 13: 6 ” I will sing to the Lord, for he has been good to me”

 

His Holy Spirit is feeding and lifting me up my spirits, rejoicing His unfailing love. I am realizing how much He has done to me even though been so good to me. No matter what, just knowing and trusting Him that He is still protecting me and my family as well. Out of the Satan such as lies, a full of the darkest obstacles. Keeping my faith to overcome and triumph to be closer to the Lord. I learned how beautiful Forgiveness is! Indescribable word.

I am feeling Jesus Christ is in my heart especially the Holy Spirit, oh my gosh! I am with my tears right now! It rejoices me!! Because of His Love, which God has given to us with His Peace. I ought to sing Him, praising Jesus Christ for what he has done to us!!

I pray for those who struggle to walk openly to God, and become a friend of Jesus Christ. I also pray for who are struggling with the men’s rules. I pray for the hopeless and unloved people as well as needy people. 

God bless you!!

 

Ezekiel 2:6-8—Faith and Witnessing

2:6 ” And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or terrified by them, though they are rebellious house.”

2:7 ” You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.”

2:8 ” But you, son of man, listen what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you”

 

As we are children of God, however of man as well such as parents because we were raised by their ways which were not very much to God’s ways. As we are friends of His Son Jesus Christ when we accepted Him as our King Savior, we don’t need to be afraid of what they think of us. 

We are also aware that we are still living among scorpions—who persecute, judge, etc. We don’t need to be afraid again showing them what we rejoice, and share the Greatest News about Jesus Christ. Rebellious House such as Christians who choose one thing that does not please Him when God asks His Way before the situation or issue happens. Non Christians who choose not to believe Him completely as they choose to live as the worldly person does.

By we are getting more closer to God, and follow what Jesus Christ has done, we need to help and speak to them with a full of Gospel. Not even with men’s rules. Just follow what the Holy Spirit guides us. Otherwise, we need to be aware as we must not be like as rebellious house does. Just be what God tells us when we receive His openness while we eat His Words. The Holy Spirit will accompany us when we do what God expects and wants us to be like our Special Friend, His Son Jesus Christ. 

I am still praising my Father God for whatever He has wonderfully done. He showed me so many mysterious ways, no matter what since I am not a perfect, just by the heart, mind, and soul with all the strength searching Him more than anything. I am realizing a bit better even though learning as much as I tried my best thru my faith, which I believe that God is working on me slowly. I still thank Him for His Love and Protection.

May God bless you all!!!

Romans 8:26-27—God

8:26 “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express”

8:27 “And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will”

What surprise to me! I am very stunned as could not imagine of what He responded why I have struggled with my weakness during the rough days for a while. Because of the future glory. I don’t know how to say or describe since my words could not be expressed. There are many occurrences to happen to my life because of the hope, more than I thought or expected.

However I am very glad as pleased to know His simple answer!!!

When you feel with your struggles or frustrations that you could not describe your words, go and spend praying, wondering and thinking that are related to God. He will answer you slowly when your soul is very hungry to be with Him with all your strength. 

Remember be with Jesus Christ all the time!!!! Smiles!

God bless you all!

15:17 ” This is my command: Love each other”

 

This verse truly amazes me! How could He choose me since I am not perfect and not worth person?!! I could still not imagine how would He do that?! Just because of His Love. Love truly cannot describe!!!  It is more than we think or understand.

I did not think or realize that He did choose me to be part of His Purpose since He knows my heart than I do. Even though more than I could understand. Just the heart as He knows how hungry I am for no reason. More than anything we have in our lives. He truly guided me all the hardest and challenging moments that He had plans in my life. He has more plans than I do though.

He chose me because of His Love that He is feeding me slowly while bearing fruit to become a true mature and passionate Christian. He is aware that I am not a perfect woman. He is aware of my heart. He appointed me to be involved one of His Plans: Deaf Teen Quest—Girls Teenagers which is a part of mentoring and teaching innocent and hopeless teenagers about Jesus Christ.

I am still fighting because I keep the faith remaining with Him—no matter what, and searching whatever I ask Him for anything that is belonged to Him while I am on DTQ. 

He commands me to love them thru the Holy Spirit which is in me, showing very excited and loving them. Because they are children though. They are not adults yet.

I am very grateful for His special gift that He died for our sins because of His Love again!!! 

God bless you all!!

I am back….

Psalm 94: 22

” But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge”

          God has been so good and patient as He knows my frustrations and struggles because He knows how much my mind, my heart and my soul as well need Him—no matter what. He truly blessed me even though blesses me by His Love and His Comfort. I cried recently knowing how much I miss and need Him. He is so GOOD. He knows how much I desire for Him. He has been waiting but He did bring another blessing to be involved with Deaf Teen Quest which is a part of mentoring or teaching teenagers about Jesus Christ. I am very grateful for this very special opportunity. 

In fact God has truly became my fortress and my true friend. He knows me everything. I take my refuge with Him thinking and wondering.

God bless you all!!!

2 Peter 3:18–Love

” The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” NIV

Wow! What amazing verse! It truly shocked me because we cannot imagine how much He really loves us no matter what we have done in our past lives. I spent wondering and inquiring how much He has done to us. I could not understand sometimes, however, I am grateful because He has done to me also. I looked my past life and figured out how hard I survived. I realized that He was very patient with me, searching Him. It took me a long time to find the right time to meet Him by the Truth–unique the Bible.

I am very thankful again, if I would not receive His Son Jesus in my heart, oh my gosh! How could you imagine? My life would not be worth and will be gone to be perished.

You have to remember again that God will cry slowly when you reject Jesus, His Son as your Savior, or you could not accept to be patient to understand slowness about who is our Father God. Otherwise if you keep sinning, He will cry again, because He loves you as He did create you. He does not want to perish you.

He is waiting on you with all His patience to come to be repented thru His Son Jesus.

Please pray for those who are struggling to understand, and for who are still being a worldly person.

***Love–joy; kindness; mercy; mourning; lament; comfort; compassion; peace; sympathy; humility; charity

 

Job 30:13—Sin

“They break up my road; they succeed in destroying me-without anyone’s helping them” NIV

This verse does always happen to whom are very much with Lord and His Son Jesus because of the Truth that they could not accept Lord’s simple ways.

Because of the egotism, jealousy, competency, favoritism, etc which they would not want to see someone who has her or his skills which God is using to serve Him because of a true heart that is having a serious fellowship with Him. One of them would break up her or his true fellowship with Lord, and his apostleship with Jesus, and do accomplish in destroying one true friend of Jesus Christ without anyone’s helping them.

Please be very sensitive and aware as well as memorize this special verse. No matter what one is a good person or bad person even though that person such as a fake or doubt Christian or Non Christian. They could happen to cause to a true friend of Jesus Christ.

My note:

Non Christian– a person who rejects Jesus as a Savior, or is not interested to discovery the unique Truth–Bible.

***Sin—evil; judgment of the ungodly; death; hell; curses; condemnation; temptation; unbelief; hatred; hypocrisy; apostasy.

 

Phillippians 2:21–God

2:21 ” For everyone looks out for his own interests, not those of Jesus Christ”

All of us do tend to keep ourselves busy when we have our own interests, instead of reading the Bible, visiting the homeless and the poor, sharing the Good News, and many things that God is waiting on us to do and enjoy His things than our own interests. That is very sad situation to see that many Christians and Non Christians are still doing their own interests than doing for Jesus Christ. Christians need to learn how to stop doing their own interests such as sports, shopping, bla, bla that are not related to Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ does not care about the material stuff, He truly cares about the people such as to help, visit, cook for the homeless, share His good news, teach, and sing as well. They need to enjoy focusing on what God wants us to enjoy His special interest.

How about the Non Christians? I have written and told you all again about the Non Christians, just pray for them to open their minds and hearts about the Truth–The Bible.

Very hard to understand and imagine how much we need to take care of His Special interest that God gave us after we received Jesus Christ into our hearts than our own interests.

I did deal to overcome my own interest. I used to spend doing my research about the cooking and collecting the recipes. It did not fill me very much excited to enjoy enough.

When I became a friend of Jesus Christ I was very excited and looking forward to enjoy His interests. The Holy Spirit has wonderfully done to me. I am thankful because I still keep asking our Father Lord to fire my heart and my mind to have the excitement and gladness. In fact I fell in love with my new own interest to spend reading, thinking, writing, creating, praying, praising, questioning, researching the Bible with all my curiosity, and many things that God shared His special secret with me for the hopeless to accomplish having His Son Jesus Christ in their hearts. It will be a long road to triumph overcoming the obstacles. I am smiling right now as the Holy Spirit tells me to be faithful.

Strength

II Corinthians 12:7-10

Philippians 4:10-13

 

Jeremiah 1:8–Faith

“Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord” KJV

“Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you, declares the Lord” NIV

Be aware of this another challenging verse because of the persecution which will happen to you when you are with Jesus in your heart. He will guide and deliver you when He asks you to meet and share with the strangers such as lukewarm and cold people.

I understand that we do always tend to be very cautious, however, you have to remember that Jesus was never cautious to the sinners, because He was a perfect that came from The Heaven where God had His special Plan to save our sinners in the world. We need to be like our Best Friend Jesus who walked all the challenging situation. I am aware that we won’t be perfect, but have a faith knowing and trusting God that He is with you walking because of His Plans for your life after you received Jesus into your heart. God wants you to share Good News about Him because of His Love, therefore, do not need to be afraid to share with the all excitement and gladness with the faces. Be strong as well.

When one stranger rejects you, just leave him or her alone, and pray for that person to God. God will take care of that person. He will do His Justice.

Blessings!
