People always wonder whether their prayers are heard and whether it will reach heaven, where God dwells. But little do they know that God hears even their heart-cries and responds in His own loving way. His voice you cannot hear in your mind and emotions, that is your soul. Because God is Spirit and He communicates to us in our spirits. Problem is many are inactive in spirit. “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” I Corinthians 3:16-17.

One Thing You Lack & One Thing Is Needed
All of us try to do our best not to lack anything in life, we do our best thinking we have done a great job. But the Lord will say one thing you are lacking. The solution to our lack is that we should do the one thing needed, that is to sit at the feet of Jesus and learn from Him and draw the power from Him to do efficiently, effectively and effortlessly.
Overcomer, More Than A Conqueror
“Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?”1 John 5:5 (ESV) Wow! What a definition for the children of God in Christ Jesus. We who are in Christ face many things coming against us as if the whole world is going one way and we are traveling the opposite. But that is the truth; our ways are entirely opposite to the way the world operate. Yet we are more than conquerors because Lord God is within us as Holy Spirit completely covering us with His glory!
Humble before God & He Will Lift You
Falling flat on the face before God saying, I can do nothing right only He can do all things through me, is the posture of submitting to God’s authority. God will bring every individual to this status to get everyone’s attention towards Himself. This we should realise sooner and come under His submission. Or else this process will be repeated till you give up your self-efforts and look unto the Lord God for your own goodness sake.
Perfect Law Of Liberty
Any law is for our protection and for our safety only. If we abide in it sincerely we will definitely benefit. Many think law is restricting them and so get offended by it. Actually it gives us more freedom to go about in the social life if all co-operate. It is because many try to rebel out of frustration things get worse for everyone. God given perfect law is to liberate us from many bondages. Sin is lawlessness 1 John 3:4(NKJV)
Dead Sea – Sodom & Gomorrah
Dead Sea is where the sin cities Sodom & Gomorrah were. The report of the sin that increased so much made the Lord and 2 angels to come to see and later the angels helped Lot who was the only righteous person in the city to escape the wrath of God that showered upon them by brimstone and fire from heaven to destroy the whole place completely and kept as a symbol of God’s wrath on sinners. “For our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:29 (NKJV)
Grace Of God Is As High As Heavens Above
We do not know how much we take light of the Grace of God that was showered upon us profusely. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His grace toward those who fear Him. (Psalms 103:11) Isn’t God good? We should be aware of this much of God’s Grace upon us and make sure we receive them everyday and in every situation and give God all the glory for everything and every good we receive.
Operate In The Word & The Power Of God
As a child of God we should know the Word of God, the Scriptures thoroughly. But just studying the Bible as a historical book will not profit anyone. We should believe that they were written by the inspiration of Holy Spirit and not by mere men. And also many sermons are available everywhere which are based on the wisdom of men that sounds so meaningful and enjoyable but profits nothing. We should put our trust equally in the power of God. Just like without power no equipment operates by only having the manual book. “For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power.” 1 Corinthians 4:20 (ESV)
Are We Tuned to Hear from God?
For some hearing from God, the creator may seem a strange thing. But for Christians to hear from God, Abba our Father is a privilege. We serve a God who loves to have a close relationship with us and longs to speak of all the plans and purpose for the Kingdom. Question here is are we tuned to listen to His voice? Is our life is so cluttered up and our spiritual ears are plugged up that we hardly pay attention to His call?
A Living Saviour For A Dying World
“God made it plain to man that He exists and He is Lord over all His Creation. God’s invisible qualities – His eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from His creation, so men are without excuse. Although men knew God, they neither glorified Him as God, nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although men claimed themselves to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the Immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
Therefore God gave them over to the sinful desires of their hearts to every kind of wickedness and evil….. Men knew God’s righteous decree that those who do such wrong things deserve death, yet they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.” Romans 1:18-32(NIV)
