The Searching of myself in Christ.



     



    Long before I found, I thought that once I find I will search no more... And so I thought.

     Almost a year has passed by since all the miracles took place, and my first life changing encounters with the Heavenly Father had occurred.

     Since I left Winnipeg to move to British Columbia, I've witnessed the heavenly goodness of my Splendor Jesus in our lives. Our move took Huge adjustments for my family, yet I struggle with one thing.

  My family lately has been watching a lot of online preaching. Surely my family is becoming like the on fire Godly household I've been praying them to be. But why is it, I feel so left out?

 Its like an ongoing battle that I keep facing and facing again and again.

I miss the girl who I found myself to be in Christ. Where is she? I know she's still here.

The girl who proclaimed the whole world in boldness, who her God is. But now why all of the sudden she's afraid of what others may think.

I never thought i'd ever feel so lost again.

My Father Jesus, I don't know how to express my feelings, but through writing.

 But I know that your The God of Truth, and in your word captives are set free. That nothing can separate me from your love. That you are my Father and my Redeemer lives. That you God is my Shepherd, and my stronghold. That you are faithfully good. That my God is for me, so who can ever stand against.

That I am not condemned, but forgiven and cleansed by the Blood of Jesus Christ.

That no matter how bad I fail, I will never be defeated because my Jesus has Won it all for me. That your Grace covers it all. Thank you Lord that your Love never ceases, that because of you I Am  Forever FOUND.
 I am the CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH GOD.

  There are times when life just get so hard, and sometimes you begin to pull away from God and forget. Please don't. I want you to know you are not alone. As the Children and Victors of Christ we are made to be more than conquerors in every trial and obstacle. That no matter what situation it is, whether you did something wrong or something went wrong, Christ still restores and is full of Grace. You are forgiven. You are set free. 

  All what Papa wants is to have you back in His arms and reveal to you His heart full with love and compassion for you. 

God's plan for you are good and they're not for evil. They are plans to prosper and to give you hope and a future.

No matter what happens You are still the Child of the most High, and God loves you so much! So do not back away anymore, instead stand strong and get to know Him more and more. And surely God blesses those who seeks Him. 





 God Bless.

Narnia Series review "Prince Caspian"



      Lately I've totally been Obsessing about Narnia movies, I watched it several times when I was younger but never knew It was Bible based. I watched it again and this time I was completely astonished of how relevant it is to the spiritual world of Christianity. 

The next day after watching the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, I hurried to turn on my Laptop to watch more. That's when I watched Prince Caspian the second Part of the Narnia Series. Although I was biased of which series I like better, the first one or the second one, I have to say the first one is a win win. I think Narnia series carries many lessons in which to learn from. 

My favorite part of  "Prince Caspian" is when the enemy's army called the Telmarines, turned back from the war when Aslan ordered the trees to help the Narnians fight their battle. They decided to cross the river because they knew the trees cannot go on till that point.  As the Telmarine Army run toward the other side of the bridge, with the Narnians chasing them from behind, there stood Lucy who just came to meet with Aslan in the forest from the other side of the Bridge.
When they saw Lucy, the whole Army stopped. Lucy then pulls out a small sword (knife) on her side, then Aslan the mighty lion came by her side. The army looked around, wondering if they're intimidated or not, but they decided to proceed. 

  Then Aslan roared, as if he commanded the oceans to deal with the Telmarines. 
What happened then was amazing.... After that, I can surely tell you "They're intimidated alright!"



As I watched this, I learned something really interesting. We should always be like like Lucy. Although she was just a girl who is unable yet to fight the battle for herself, she was able to be courageous and bold enough to stand against the enemy. It was a girl vs. a whole Telmarine army.  But she didn't see it that way. In fact she saw the situation more like "Me a little girl with a knife, and a Mighty Lion by my side who is mighty in power, and can definitely defeat the whole Telmarine army.
 
There comes a point in our lives when our fears seems to empower our strengths, and is after to defeat us. But just like Lucy, we should be bold and not fear the enemy  that is coming for us, instead Fear our Mighty God. That we our not in war on our own, but on our way to victory with the one who is able to fight the battles of life with us in victory, and that is with Jesus. So no matter how great the storm is coming in your life, remember the story of Lucy, and her courageous and bold act of faith knowing that she's not alone.

You are not alone! You're mighty God, the Lord of heavens, who does miracles and wonders beyond comprehension is by your side. Trust in Him and He shall make your path straight. He will come through for you all you need to do is pray and call out to Him.

The God of all possibilities is by your side. You are not alone.

Dying for love.

                                            


                                            PLEASE READ VERSES CONSCIENTIOUSLY. SELAH.


           In Hebrews the Bible says...
   “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands;


      In Job the Bible says.....         He spreads out the northern skies over empty space;    he suspends the earth over nothing. He wraps up the waters in his clouds,    yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.He covers the face of the full moon,    spreading his clouds over it. He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters    for a boundary between light and darkness.The pillars of the heavens quake,    aghast at his rebuke. By his power he churned up the sea;    by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces.By his breath the skies became fair;    his hand pierced the gliding serpent.And these are but the outer fringe of his works;    how faint the whisper we hear of him!    Who then can understand the thunder of his power?”

  
   
  In Job the Bible says......
      God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things that we cannot comprehend. 

              
           As I walked near the mirror, i gradually stepped in closer to gaze deeply at my reflection, wondering                                                     WHY? .....  Then i was reminded of Psalm 8:3-4

               When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you
          have ordained, what is man that you are mindful of Him, and the son of man that you visit him?
                                                                       ~Psalm 8:3-4

   God who is wonderful, Beautiful, amazing, powerful, great, awesome, who reigns in the highest of thrones, who breath the universe into existence, who held the Earth in the palm of His hands. Why me, why us, why would you... why?

    As i continue on to question Why? i finally came up with the right words and right questions to elucidate the emotions that filled my heart.Who am I, that this Super prodigious breathtaking God would not just care about me but would come down to the Earth that He himself has created to DIE..... for me!?


      John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

      Jesus, died so that one day we "may" love Him back. He took the biggest risk, because to Him you are worth it all. Somebody died for you. Because somebody is extremely crazy and deliriously in love with you. Even before you took your very first breath in this world, somebody already knew you and loved you perfectly.


        "He himself bore our sins" in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; "by his wounds you have been healed." ~ 1Peter:2:24

                      Jesus dying on the cross, means that you have been already forgiven of your sins.

    You can look at the cross as a gift. When a gift is being offered it is not your possession of ownership yet, until it is received.....

     Well, now i ask you would you like to receive the greatest love of all, and accept Christ as your personal Lord and Savior?

    Romans10:9 -If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
    
            If yes, pray this prayer if you'd like to receive this precious gift of the cross....


         "Lord Jesus, Forgive me of my sins and i now accept you as my personal Lord and savior. In Jesus' name i pray, Amen".

   If you prayed this prayer, i welcome you to the family of Christ Jesus! I'd suggest to look for a local Christian church and let them know that you've just accepted Christ in your life and if you need a bible ask for one.

  Thanks for reading.. :D

THERE IS HOPE IN EVERY FEAR



    What does "fear" mean? Well, lets take a look...
    
 Definition of fear: is the ability to recognize danger leading to an urge to confront it or flee from it.
(source: wikipedia.org)

    Fear is a natural human nature that everyone happens to go through in life. Being afraid can be a real scary situation, and is an emotion that is most commonly difficult to overcome.

 Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. ~Proverbs 3:5
      Is fear an understanding of God or your own understanding?

 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,of love, and of a sound mind. ~ 2 Timothy 1:7
  
    It says that God did not give you a spirit of fear, instead He gave you power, love and a sound of mind. You have the mind of Jesus in you, and so you have the authority and the every right to stand up in faith, on the promises God has spoken over you and your life.

     11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ~Jeremiah 29:11

     God's hands are for you, and is upon you for the good. He knows the plans He has for you, plans for good and not for evil. He prepares the way before you.


    It's alright to sometimes feel afraid. There is a difference between feeling afraid and being afraid. Fear not  and always remember God is with you, He will never forsake nor abandon you. In Him there is liberty, peace, refuge, restoration, faith, and Hope.  

   If God is for us then what can ever stand against?

 "Don't tell God how big your mountain is, instead tell the mountain How big your God is!" 




      When an unfortunate situation in life happens to come your way, be sure not to look at the circumstance you are in but instead fix your eyes upon the Lord and look to Him with eyes of faith. Know that He is able! For what is impossible to men is possible to God. Believe in the impossible for God is a God of all possibilities.

     There are somethings God will allow you to go through... But with VICTORY! 
You are a conqueror and a champion in Christ. Just as how David won every battle he fought, for God was with Him, God also will place victory into your hands in every storm you face in life. He is faithful, mighty in power and He is on your side!
                                              
                                            In all your ways acknowledge him,                                  and he will make your path straight. ~Proverbs 3:6


          Acknowledge Him in faith! Your future is in His hands, and He will lead you to the path of righteousness. 
                                                                                                                              Romans 8:28 

28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

         Ask God for an exceeding of faith. So, that when fear and anxiety attempts to strike you down, your Faith in God will  reign over you. Victory is yours! You are the warrior of Christ! 
                                                                
                                                                            Fear not.................

                              GOD IS WITH YOU, AND HE IS FOR YOU!

                                      For who is in me, is greater than the one who is in this world.

                                                    ~GOD BLESS~

Love in Action



       On Saturday April 20th, It was the first day of the small group bible study that was lead by Rick Warren's video program "40 days of community".
It focused on the subject of "love" in a whole new perspective.

 How many times in life did we hear the word love? How many times did we spoke of the word love? well... What is love?

1 Corinthians 13:4 ~ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

  We all have heard of this verse, and its descriptive words in defining what is love. The first day of this program covered a lot of truth and reveling of new knowledge, that nothing in this world will matter without love. But what really strike me is when a simple question was asked " How do you show love?" It is something I have never questioned myself. I answered love for me is shown through Honesty and loyalty. But I knew there has to be more.

      "Honesty is the best policy", but sometimes they can only be just words. There was this one quote I've heard of, saying.. "Actions speaks louder than words". From my past and in today's society, words have been taken for granted. I have heard the word "Love" too many times, that I became so familiar with it that I no longer knew the meaning of such. To me expressing love into action is through effort.

     In the past, not a lot of people has shown me love through effort. I thought for a moment that receiving effort from somebody as a showing of love are only meant for others and not for me, because I am undeserving of it.

  In the morning I woke up with the same thought in my head, then God showed me a vision I will never forget. He showed me the cross, His nail pierced hands, and the crown of thorns. God so mighty, God so Great, God of all powers and authority would trade His throne and everything He has for a wooden cross.
That morning He reminded me of the first person to show me love in action, and that is Jesus. If Jesus would do that to prove His love for us, then we must be so darn special in His eyes and He must extremely love us. I say this is true Love!

Encountering the Greatest Love of all!



                       As the generations evolve in time, lifestyle evolves as well.
         The world just gets busy, and busier. Time this days, feels like its passing by too fast.





    

     I grew up in a simple Christian home. My parents raised me to love God, and grow up to have strong faith in Him. We went to Church every Sunday, My dad would tell me stories from the Bible and etc. Because of this and always hearing about God, a seed of faith has been planted in my heart.

    In the age of 5, is when I have accepted the Lord, as my personal Lord and Savior. Like Samuel in the Bible, I heard the voice of the Lord in an early age. I also would always hear people's testimonies about their deep relationship with the Lord, and how they're being used in His kingdom and doing great things for Him. I always knew deep in my heart, that i was special in the eyes of the Lord, and that He has a special plan for me, and someday i will also encounter His love deeply. I don't know why but for some reason i just knew that. Until today, I can never see myself,  spending  my entire life just being an ordinary Christian. I want to live, in the best plans God has for me. I always know that He has a will for me, and I am chosen.
     In the age of 9, My family and I moved to Canada. It was a huge adjustment for us. It was a blessing and an opportunity for a better future for my sister and I. Everything was great, and i looked up to this blessing so much, that i looked down to everything else i had. I wanted to forget where i came from, and who i was. I became blind, and I actually started to look down at my parents. I wanted to fit in so badly, i wanted to be a whole new different person.

     I remember always wanting to be popular, so i hanged out with the popular kids. Looking back now, i think its really dumb. So i tried to change myself and be like them. I started changing the way i look, i dressed, i act, and speak . I was living in the ways of the world.

      For a couple of years, my relationship with the Lord, went downhill. It felt like i was sleeping and forgetting who He really is in my life...

     I remember always fighting with my family members. I thought something was wrong with them, but i didn't realize, its all me. I remember sometimes looking myself in the mirror, and questioning who am I? what am I ? why am I, here? why am I existing? i would cry, and wonder.. Has God completely forgotten about me? Life became meaningless...


    
    
          In grade 7 is when things started to slowly shift, until the year next to that...

    It was like the Lord has slowly been calling me. I grew a thirst for the love of the Lord. I was empty in the inside, and heavy laden. I still thank God today, that i never have gotten to a point of serious trouble, when i felt the furthest from Him, He has always been protecting me from danger, and to a point where He would completely lose sight of me. I was offered drugs a couple of times, and I would always feel His awareness in me, and He would speak to me when I'm about to walk in danger. This usually happens with Guys.. specially when they want something "else'' from me.

     Until i became tired, tired of keeping up with everyone else, pleasing people, changing myself. I hated to see, my parents disappointed and hurt by my actions. I wanted a change, i wanted peace, i wanted fulfillment. I knew this can only be done through Christ. At first i struggled in taking the first steps, in just calling out to God. I wanted things to change immediately, but sometimes things doesn't work that way. I needed to be patient, and wait on God's right and perfect time, for things to fit in perfectly in His plan.

      I remember always listening to songs and famous artist, like Katy Perry, Adele, Justin Bieber etc. I also remember hearing the quote that says "YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT". That is so very true. I know this because I've experienced it myself. I fed myself with the muchness of the world, so i became that. Until one week, when i just really started listening to Gospel songs, Christian songs, Hillsongs, etc. And it had build up my hunger in seeking for the Lord. Until i started to crave for the word of God, I started to listen to as much preachings i could possible, online. I just filled myself with God. (Romans 10:17) "FAITH COMES BY HEARING". Until then, God transformed me.

     I was soaking even before i didn't even know soaking existed, i was worshiping, i was just loving God. I wanted more, and more and more of Him. I have never encountered His love so strongly, than ever before. I would just close the door, and talk to Him, where ever i felt the closest to Him.

     The way He loves you is so Amazing! No words can ever describe the Greatest Love I've ever received. You will never know how good this love is, if you have never experienced His love. And when you do, YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!

     I noticed that in these days, in this generation many teen Christians have been so caught up with the muchness and business of the world. Many has been hearing about Jesus, but never really has been embracing the love that's been waiting on for you to just grab on! And i want you, yes you! who ever is reading this to experience the Love that God has showed me, and given me.

    Through His Love, He gave me back my "identity" that the world had once taken off my hands, but this time my identity is now defined through Jesus Christ living in me.



     I am here today, to share my testimony. Because "Every test, becomes a testimony".  If you have known and already received Jesus as your personal Lord and savior, but has not yet encountered the full extent of His love. I have to say, you're missing out.

    The key to just receiving this Greater Love, is to have a "seeking heart", and have a "willing heart" to surrender everything to Him, and always be aware of His voice. Make sure you give time to Him, even if its just 10-20 mins a day. Let this be a lifestyle. At first, for me it was really difficult... but once you enter into His presence, you completely forget time and everything else around you, And it is so worth it! I remember reading a quote off, of Emanuella's blog "If Satan can't make you sin, then he will make you busy".

    When you talk, speak, pray, or worship Him... remember He looks at our hearts. If you are heavy laden, surrender and cry out to Him. Then He may give your soul peace and rest.

    I would be the type of person who'd be needing a therapist. But a therapist would be useless, because who needs a therapist when you got Jesus..He is someone who's there waiting for you 24/7, and plus He wont be taking money off your pocket.


   Last week, while spending time with the Lord, He rewind back to the time when i was little, through a vision. I saw Him just watching me with delight in His eyes while I was playing alone. I heard Him say " Someday you will live according to my purpose that i have for you, and you will encounter, my love like never before. That day is set".
Now i know, why I always knew, when i was little.. That someday, i will walk in His planned purpose in my life, and i will encounter His love deeply. Is because, all along He has been already declaring that over my life.

       We are the chosen ones of the Lord God. He died on the cross, so someday He may gain our love. So let us be the fruit of the Cross.

      In receiving the fullness of the Love of the Father,that is waiting to lavish on you.. You will need stop saying "Someday", "later" etc.. But instead it is all about RIGHT NOW! Right now, is when you will start seeking, and learning more about God. Spend time with Him.
  
      He has the greatest affection towards us, His children. He is so excited, in getting you on board in your adventure with Him, in revealing you, how much He loves you. The question is.. will you climb on board?

     He has a purpose for every each and individual. But we have to say "yes" to be chosen..
when you are just walking in love with the Lord, you cannot imagine of the great things He will do in your life.

                                                            Thank you for reading...
                     I pray that you will encounter His love, strongly than ever before... :)
                                                                God bless you!
