Power in Unity

If we want to experience the power of God in our lives, we must dwell together in peace and harmony with our brothers and sisters in Christ!

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
--- Psalm 133:1

My own reflection on this Thought:
* Power comes from unity. How to live in harmony with other people in this earth. Because we're all His Children. (-fon-)

Be Determined to Be Free!

All of the areas of your life that are out of order can be reconciled through Jesus and the work that He has done on the cross. Begin to believe it! Don't settle for bondage, but be determined to be free!

So, brethren, we [who are born again] are not children of a slave woman [the natural], but of the free [supernatural].
In [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off].
--- Galatians 4:31; 5:1

My own reflection on this Thought:
* We've all got our own bondages. But in Christ, we could be free from any bondage that we have in the past. With our determination to be free and with God's power to set us free, just believe that we could be a winner in this life.

Don't Be Hasty

Impatience breeds frustration.

... he who is hasty of spirit exposes and exalts his folly.
--- Proverbs 14:29

My own reflection on this Thought:
* Just be patience. Because impatience brings more negative results in our life. Be more patience in each day of our life. (-fon-)

If Satan Had Known...

If Satan had known what he was doing when he crucified the Lord of glory on the cross, he would have never done it. He thought the crucifixion was his greatest victory, but it was actually his ultimate defeat.

If Satan had known what he was doing when he arranged for that beating in which Jesus received thirty-nine stripes on His back... when he incited the soldiers to make that crown of thorns and press it into Jesus' scalp until Blood ran down His face and into His beard... when he pierced His hands and feet and later His side... when he made arrangements for the bloodshed that redeemed God's man, he would certainly never have done it. As believers we receive power, healing, deliverance, and protection when we apply the Blood of Jesus by faith, asking the Lord to cover our lives, our loved ones, etc. in His Blood. No wonder Satan hates the Blood. No wonder he is afraid of the Blood. If he had known what he was doing, he would never have shed that innocent Blood. But it was done " once and for all," and it can never be undone. (See Hebrews 9:12)

My own reflection on this Thought:
* Jesus Blood is really powerful, as Jesus has always been. When we pray confidently in faith in the name of His Blood, He will protect us from danger.

Strength through Adversity

I encourage you to be a person who is not afraid of responsibility. In meeting resistance you will build your strength. If you only do what is easy, you will always remain weak.

He who observes the wind [and waits for all the conditions to be favorable] will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap.
--- Ecclesiastes 11:4

My own reflection on this Thought:
* This thought reminds us not be afraid of struggles and adversities. Because those are the times when we can build our strength and be more mature in Him/

The Simplicity of a Child

Every healthy adult should also have a childlike spirit in them. Children are free, and Jesus came to set us free --- free to love, to live, to enjoy and be all we can possibly be, in Him.
Each of us starts out in life as a child, and as we grow up, we need to protect that child within us.

Seek to become and remain childlike in your inner self with all the simplicity of a child. It will enhance the quality of your life in a most amazing way.

And He [Jesus] called the little child to Himself and put him in the midst of them,
And said, Truly I say to you, unless you repent (change, turn about) and become like little children [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving], you can never enter the kingdom of heaven [at all].
Whoever will humble himself therefore and become like this little child [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving] is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
--- Matthew 18: 2-4

My own reflection on this Thought:
* There's a soul of a child inside each one of us. And let it be! Because we need the simplicity in this complicated life. Sometimes in our prayer, we need to keep this child-like spirit in order to surrender in our Father, our God. (-fon-)
