Let His Word frame your world
haha. I feel so set free, knowing that even words form picture of visualisation. Now I know the power of visualisation, the power of confession. Let the Word of God frame your world as you confess His Word.
In
Proverbs 18:20-2120
A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; from the produce of his lips he shall be filled.21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.Your words are powerful kingpriest! From the produce of your lips you shall be filled. Even
Hebrews 11:3 says:
By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.In Genesis, God spoke and He saw that it was good.
Tap into the supernatural ways of God for all the promises are ours through the righteousness of Jesus. HIS finished work is our righteous ground to be blessed and favored everywhere we go because the LORD
is with us.
Now reading the bible is so interesting because those aren't mere words but they are the living Word of God that would frame my world. The bible is God-breathe, Holy Spirit inspired. As you and I read, we would experience the zoe-life of God. :)))
God is GoOd
hehe. Daddy, I love You. We shall continue to write love stories that would be for generations to see. (:
Daddy, You are confirming it. Dreams that We had are coming to pass. Dreams that We talked about You brought back once again to my remembrance by Your Holy Spirit. Jesus, it shall come to pass so fast and the world would see it, in amazement of You and Your awesome finished work.
Daddy, thank You for being Good. Thank You O God that You are good.
haha. Jesus, I thank You that Your goodness and mercy surrounds me like a shield and a crown. (:
hehe.
Daddy, thank You for placing people in the dept to make me feel at home. Daddy, I thank You that You are constantly providing and You are ever merciful and ever providing.
hehe. Daddy, thanks for being faithful to remove the burden and putting in the fun factor.
haha. Daddy, let this lips of Yours be such bearer of Good news.
Daddy, boldness. Daddy, favor. Daddy, more of Jesus. (:
Giving thanks to You because YOU are good and YOUR mercy endures forever.haha. So fun because I was just reading the bible a bit just now and this verse appears. Just like Daddy reminding me again that He is good, ALL the time.
haha.
Seeing Jesus, the Author and Finisher of faith. He gave us the ground and the strength to believe and He is the one who carries out the miracle. I love what was shared in the
Faith to Faith devotion for today.
haha. As I just rest in His presence doing what He impresses me to, Holy Spirit would take over and flavor in the supernatural. (:
Your rejoicing over me is my greatest assurance and strength. (: Jesus IS my Righteousness.
God -
THE Good.
hehe. Loves.
After 2 days at work...
I must say God is good. haha. Work is okay. Though it seems like a lot of stuff to do, it only seems like. Jesus, thank You for being with me. Thank You for loving me. haha.
This is my first office job and can I say I'm not use to wearing what I wore these 2 days? haha. I threw a pair of shoes away today and I walked around wearing semi-formal with slippers! Woohoo! haha. Not very affected by it because I'm not really enjoying what I wore so I couldn't care much anyway. But DaddyGod is good. haha.
I don't really know how to dress-up for office then just now Dad showed me ways to wear what I already have/wore today. haha. I love colors but sometimes colors don't really seem to fit into the office setting. Or should I say I don't really know how to go about doing it? haha! But woohoo!
Free to be ME. More to come Creative Director, Handsome Jesus. haha. As Christ is, so am I! As Jesus is creative and full of ideas, so am I! Loves. hehe.
Jesus, We call what We're doing in the office blessed and fun. Somewhere I can learn and impact lives even in the midst of it. Jesus, burden for You, fun for me (okay. Us). haha! Jesus, thank You for a spirit of excellence. Thank You for loving me and being with me.
Favor.
Sealed with Love.
As Christ is, so am I!
haha. I love what pastor preached today. It was really timely and it's really for me. Daddy confirmed His Word for me. Thanks Dad. (:
I don't know why but yesterday morning when I woke up, I just felt tired or is it drained?
Hmm.. I'm not sure of the word to used but I just feel a
lil stretched. Like I need a rest (think because I haven't really rest at home the whole week.) This feeling makes me not feel like talking/singing/praying.
haha. But I'm not too sure if it's spiritual attack.
Then while walking home from the bus stop last night, I was talking to Dad, asking if it's spiritual attacks. Then it's almost instant that Dad replied, "Can You see Jesus being attacked? You're one with Him. Both of you are on the same level."
haha. Immediately I laughed, thinking that it's SO ridiculous/funny that Jesus would be attacked by the wimpy devil.
haha.
Then logic came in and said, but it's true that Christians still get attacked spiritually by the devil.
Hmm....
Then today pastor preached about me being as Christ is. We don't need natural circumstances or logic to tell us what we to expect but we put our hope in Jesus.
That the Holy Spirit can only bear witness with the truth because He is the Spirit of Truth. So what's the truth? As Christ is, so are we in the world!
haha.
God gave us a blank cheque, all signed with the required Resources all deposited.
1 John 4:17 says,
... as He is, so are we in this world.
But it didn't say as He is what? So I think we can fill in the blank ourselves.
As Christ is ________ , so am I in this world.
haha. Love what I heard again recently. That Jesus is my Passport. Because of Jesus and His finished work, I can enjoy all the fullness of God.
The realisation and the identification of my oneness with Christ. (:Dad, I
rest in Your embrace.
Updatess...
haha. After my draft suddenly appearing on my Multiply site and me deleting it, I realised that I needed to commit my "time management" to Daddy. And it's so amazing how Daddy actually takes the effort to make sure I am early and that I would not need to rush or even need to take cab to reach wherever I wanna be at a certain time.
I am someone who loves choices because I am very blessed, I have a choice between the humble home with love or a large
palace with cold
furniture.
I still remember a dream I had some time back. I am someone who always dreamt of living in big houses with long driveways in, with this fountain and a huge garden/grass patch in front of my house. Like this house on this big plot of land, all to myself.
haha. Then one night I had this dream of this old man, not that I saw him but I just know a rather old man stays in this big house. And everything in his house is like
super sized. Super big comfy cushion. Super big sofa. Big bed, etc etc... You would just now you have stepped into a rich man's place. Yet in that dream, I don't feel the fun or joy. I feel that those
furniture are just big but they don't have the love element, that human touch. The old man's sons/daughters, grandsons/granddaughters aren't around to enjoy all these with him.
haha. So
yeap. Yes, I believe Daddy wanna bless me so much that one big plot of land is no problem man. But lets not rest our confidence and hope in what we have naturally but in Jesus and Him alone.
I like what Dad told me simply about being prosperous and blessed, having the blessings of God...
It's either you have it or you don't. You can't work for it. There is no in
between nor on the way to having it. And when you have Jesus, you have it. And when you don't have Jesus, you don't have it. No matter how the natural circumstances put it, having Jesus = having it ALL. You can't work to be rich. You can't work to be favored. You can't work to be righteous. You are either rich or you are not. You are either favored or you are not. You are either Righteous or you are not. And when you have Jesus, you have it ALL.
Anyway, back to me who love choices, Daddy showed me that when I choose to go out earlier, I am blessed with the choice to take cab or to take bus/
MRT.
haha. And I love it this way. I am not forced to take a cab because I'm running late but because Daddy has provided, I have the choice. ((:
And Daddy has been really good at making sure that I'm on time for many times especially for work. Now I want it much more that I would always be early when I meet people as well. (:
That day I was thinking about how I felt the
un-peace when I just stubbornly do my own stuff when in me I know it's time to get ready to go out. Then I was thinking why Dad must give the
un-peace?
Relac a bit
lah.
haha. Then He just told me, whatever I've committed to Him, He is determined to make it good. Like how it is in Ruth 3:18
"Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out; for the man will not rest until he has concluded the matter this day." haha. When you sit still, the man will not rest.
NASB put it as... "
for the man will not rest until he has settled it today."
haha. Jesus like my big Brother, my Big Shield (my backing.
haha.) would not rest till He ham-
tumb the troublemaker in my life, whatever that hinders me from enjoying the High life.
haha. Like what pastor
lian preached on 1st April, about Daddy's heart for us - how He created/completed everything for us to enjoy and thereby resting with us in all that He created. Yet when
adam fell, he
forfeited that rest and Daddy had been working ever since then to make sure that our redemption is complete. Not stopping at the blood of bulls and goats but He sent His own Son, making Himself our Redemption.
Daddy, thanks for getting me the job. Daddy, thanks for loving to do things to make me smile. Daddy, thanks for telling me again and again that what I've sowed would not go futile. Daddy, thanks for making the bus come once I reached the bus stop knowing how much I would want a seat, You provided. Daddy, thanks for favor and calmness. Daddy, thanks for correcting and leading. You are my Shepherd and I am the sheepiie of Your pasture. Daddy, thanks for being evident in my life. You work speaks for Your own glory. People would see and can't deny that You are alive. Daddy, thank You for a heart for Jesus.Daddy, thank You for being You. (:Daddy taught me a lot of things recently.
haha. A life of thanksgiving is a life that flows.
haha. Okay. Gonna stop here
le because today has been a long day for me and I wanna retreat
le. (: Enjoy. More sharing to come. (:
Work not for your righteousness
Matthew 6:26-2826
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;haha. Maybe you have read this portion like countless times but these verses are very beautiful. It's a passage where Jesus ask us not to worry because
our heavenly Daddy provides for even the birds, would He not provide for us??
Matthew 10:29-3129
Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.30
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.31
Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.Correct me if I'm wrong but that time when pastor preached that when God numbers, He's actually taking ownership. And immediately I thought of Matthew 10:30 that says even the very hairs of my head are all numbered! haha. That means Daddy also take ownership of my crown of glory, my hair! haha.
Luke 12:6-76
"Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins?[
a]
And not one of them is forgotten before God. 7
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.If you were to read the footnote of Luke 12:6 in your NKJV bible, it would tell you that the copper coin there is actually a coin of
very small value. Who says God is only concerned about world news? He's interested even in what you deem as/thought is small. (:
What I wanna share is what I saw in
Matthew 6:28 "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;
Yes, it's talking about
natural clothing. (Don't spiritualise everything. haha. but I believe there's always spiritual truth in what Dad says as well. (:)
What I saw also was, we don't have to work nor worry about our Righteousness! Lilies are white and white speaks of Righteousness! Notice how they grow? They just allow God to clothe them in those robes of righteousness. They neither toil (WORK) nor SPIN. They don't try to weave (spin) their own robes of Righteousness. They simply relax and receive those Robes from God.
This should also be our attitude. We don't work, not as in job but we don't try to do good to be Righteous but we simply receive our Righteousness, Jesus. Jesus IS our Righteousness (
1 Corinthians 1:30). He [Jesus] who knew no sin was made sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ (
2 Corinthians 5:21).
I like how NLT puts
Romans 4:4-84
When people work, their wages are not a gift, but something they have earned.5
But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.6
David also spoke of this when he described the happiness of those who are declared righteous without working for it:7
"Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sins are put out of sight.8
Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of sin." [
b]
Oh my! What joy! All our wrongdoings are not recorded anymore! NO MORE. We have this new lease of life and life more abundantly because Jesus died for us!
Romans 5:17 (AMP)For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).Yes, you don't deserve it that's why it's called a gift. That's why God's favor is unmerited, unearned, undeserved. Noone can work for it. Noone can do enough to have HIS favor. Simply receive. (((:
Doesn't the REAL gospel set you free? (:
Margy,
Loved of Jesus, Justified by HIS
bloodAnyway, those who recommended NLT (Charis and those in Charis' multiply post), thanks! haha. It's really good. ((: Cheers.
