Another Helper

Nice to have you again.. Hope you are great!

It has been a week from Jesus resurrection. What the greatest news for those who believe in Him.

Jesus loves us so much, hence He does not want to leave nor forsake us. He promised us "another helper" to be with us. 

He will be your

• Helper (ESV),
• Friend (The Message),
• Advocate (NIV),
• Comforter-Intercessor-Counsellor-Strengthener-Standby (Amplified Bible).

“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you." (ESV)

As you are a new creation in God, you are not a slave of sins anymore. God has set you free from sins.

"Therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

"If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you."

"For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

What are you going through right now? Health problem, financial crisis, marriage problems, study problems, or...

Let the Holy Spirit set you free! Soften you heart, let the Holy Spirit leads you.

While waiting, expect the best of it to happen soon and just get ready to get it.

Let this video to walk in Spirit of Living God daily! The Spirit and Holy Spirit You Are Welcome Here

God bless you!
Have a nice day!

Special Passover: CRAZY LOVE

Nice to meet you again in this great week. Today's post will tell you how "Crazy" His love to us. Here are some "Crazy" loves God has done:


1. A Woman Who Caught in Adultery (Matthew 8:1-11)
And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”

2. Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus (Luke 22:51)
But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him.

3. Jesus Was Crucified (Luke 23:34)
And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”





Then questions come up:
Will you be the one who sells Jesus? (Judas Iscariot)
Will you be the one who disowns Jesus? (Simon Peter)

But, good news is God has risen! God is alive!
He has sacrificed His life for you and me!
What is your proper response to His resurrection?

Love one another: just as God has loved you, you also are to love one another.

God Is So Great, Isnt't He?

Hi readers! I hope you are well now. Before you read my blog further, I want to thank you in advance to keep reading my blog. It is my pleasure to share with you guys.

One day, Katie, my 3-years-old grand daughter, said something shocking to her daddy and mummy. They were shocked about her full-theological statement. She said to them, "Daddy and mummy have sisters whom already passed away. Then God brought them to Heaven to live with Him. God is great, isn't he?"

God's power is indeed awful and miraculous, however, that thing is simple enough so it can be understood by children. In Katie's immature thought, she can realize that God can do something miraculous; it means that God is so great indeed. With her simple comprehension, Katie can know that God has done amazing things when He brought her aunties to Heaven.

How frequent we dwell quietly in the midst of this high-technology era, while we are captivated and say: "God is so great." Probably, it is rare nowadays. 

"God's power is miraculous and incomparable, yet it is real for us to realize it.

God's power gives us a reason to worship Him"

(JDB)

"You are God.

    Lord, only you are God.

You made the sky and the highest heavens

    and everything in them.

You made the earth

    and everything on it.

You made the seas

    and everything in them.

You give life to everything.

    All the heavenly angels bow down and worship you."

Nehemiah 9:6 - ERV 

 

"Our God is awesome

He reigns from Heaven

By wisdom, power, and love

Our God is really awesome"

(Mullins)

"God does everything with manifestations of simplicity and power"

(Tertullian)

God is so great, yeah

Have a nice day!

Grace vs Wage

Antonio Salieri

An opera "Amadeus" is about an 18th-century composer who was trying to comprehend God's will. Antonio Salieri is a virtuous man who has a sincere desire to be able to create a majestic and magnificent music, but he was not awarded any talent to do it. He was resentful because God awarded the "amazing" talent to a delinquent guy named Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

In the opera, a question came up, the same as Job asked oppositely. The writer of Job asked why God punished virtuous people in the whole world; while the writer of Amadeus asked why God gave an unworthy people to receive that gift.

Scandal of grace is discussed on a parable of the workers in the vineyard and unfair wages. 

"About five in the afternoon he (landowner) went out and found still others standing around. “He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.'" (Matthew 20:6-7-NIV). 

The workers who had worked a whole day grumbled when they knew that they received the same wages. 

"‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.'" (Matthew 6:12-NIV)

This story does not make any sense economically. HE gives us the parable of grace which is uncountable as if wages for a work. 

GOD gives us grace, not wages.

God, sometimes I forget that love, blessing, or forgiveness which I received from YOU are not because of my work.

YOU have poured out your blessings to me as a gift, not a wage.

A word of worthy does not prevail in God's grace

A song from Hillsong: Scandal of Grace

God bless you!
