Walk with God. You're righteous IN Christ.

Jesus loves margy! haha.

Jesus, I thank You that the life that I live, I live for You. :D I thank You that I would not need to try to impress others or even myself. I thank You that the gifts and calling in my life is irrevocable. I thank You that You love me enough to correct me. Thank You Jesus. haha.

Romans 11:29
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

haha. I thank God for each day that I live, I rest only in Jesus and His finished work. That I would not need to do anything to deserve God's blessings nor His favor. haha. It's tiring trying to lead a life to impress others, especially men. haha.

Proverbs 29:25
The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe.

haha. Don't worry yea. Don't need to see people's face to lead your life. Depend and trust in the LORD; depend on the grace of God. Even when you don't deserve it, you can still expect good things to happen to you because Jesus blesses you according to His grace!

Don't strive yea. Don't stress. haha. Jesus, I thank You for a peaceful spirit. :D

1 Peter 3:3-5 (Amplified Bible)
3 Let not yours be the [merely] external adorning with [elaborate] [a] interweaving and knotting of the hair, the wearing of jewelry, or changes of clothes;

4 But let it be the inward adorning and beauty of the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which [is not anxious or wrought up, but] is very precious in the sight of God.

5 For it was thus that the pious women of old who hoped in God were [accustomed] to beautify themselves and were submissive to their husbands [adapting themselves to them as themselves secondary and dependent upon them].

Isaiah 30:15
15 For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning [to Me] and resting [in Me] you shall be saved; in quietness and in [trusting] confidence shall be your strength....

haha. Jesus, I thank You for great leaders. :D


haha. Today pastor preached about:: sin in the flesh is already condemened.

Romans 8:3 (NKJV)
For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,

And what is condemned ceases to exist in God's eyes. haha.

Sin in the flesh is simply like the raising up of lustful thoughts, evil thoughts from the flesh. haha. Though we're born again! New creations! The flesh can't be cast away until we get our new immortal bodies when Jesus return.

haha. You know sometimes when you look at a beautiful girl (this illustration is for guys k. haha.) then maybe a lustful thought just pop up from nowhere. haha. Or even thoughts of envy or jealousy or even angry. Don't get condemned by these thoughts yea. Just carry on, worshipping God and fellowshipping with Him because these thoughts ain't yours. It's the flesh's. haha.

Romans 8:3 (Amplified Bible)
3 For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened by the flesh [[a]the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, [God] condemned sin in the flesh [[b]subdued, overcame, [c]deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice],(B)

Hebrews 10:1-4 (NKJV)
1 For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect.
2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins.
3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.
4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.

haha. They offer the same sacrifices year after year because it is NOT possible by the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. If the sacrifices had worked, being able to make the worshippers perfect, they would stop offering those sacrifices!

Hebrews 10:9-14 (NKJV)
9 then He said, "Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God." [a] He takes away the first that He may establish the second.
10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Christ's Death Perfects the Sanctified

11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,
13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool.
14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

haha. However, by ONE offering of Jesus He scantified and forever perfected those who accept His sacrifice! haha.

Romans 4:24-25 (NKJV)
24 but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,
25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.


Hebrews 1:3 (NKJV)
who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself[a] purged our[b] sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

Jesus is raised and seated on high, at the right hand of Daddy God because of our justification! Because His work is complete! Because our sins are purged (flushed out; no more!). haha.

All these petty thoughts from the flesh can NEVER stop us nor condemn us from coming to Jesus' presence, to Daddy's presence because this sin in the flesh has been overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice (Jesus). These thoughts can never condemn us and cause us not be able to enjoy the fellowship with Jesus.
If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and SAVIOR, then you should not ever feel condemned by whatever bad thoughts that comes along the way, in your daily walk with Jesus! Because His sacrifice is perfect. And by His sacrifice, we are confident to stand in Daddy's presence!


Oh praise Jesus. As I was blogging, I realised it really takes God's wisdom and not men's wisdom to preach Jesus. haha. And I pray that the Word that God shared through me, the Holy Spirit would do the sozo-ing, confirming it with signs and wonders. :D

Oh ya! Yesterday Campus pastor shared that, to look to God actually is simply to look to the God of love. To look to the God who is Love. Jesus is love personified. haha. Rest in His love. Rest in Him. :D

Blessings~
Jesus loves! :D
