oooh 7hours praise n worship!!!!

p&w

this is it!!!

hey everyone.. for those who are jsut checking this page out.. if you wana have a full day of praise n worship.. head out to our church..

well, i’ve heard some people saying.. erm, people are losing the very basis of worship by doing all this.. n saying its all publicity.. church, i urge you not to listen to these lies the devil as put in some peoples heart.. all music belongs to God!!! if there are musicians who insist on perfection.. its because they wana give thier all best to our God.. *if i have a talent, do i want to give the best?? * if i know how to play cool guitar solo’s.. i would love to do it in de house of God..

so, chill.. relax n enjoy the presence of God.. while he visits us when we worship him.. imagine how 7 hours of worship will be!!!!! wooohooo.. cant wait!!!

I trust in you.. I live in faith..

SO, anyways, im realy sorry for not posting anything up for so long.. its been awhile, hv been busy with work and all.. but, no doubt, ive been checking the website regularly… replying when possible..

well, im quite hooked on the song “healer” from hillsongs. the “this is our God” album. i just find the words massively superb!! ..it goes..

Verse:
You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease

Pre-Chorus:
I trust in You
I trust in You

Chorus:
I believe You’re my Healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You’re my Portion
I believe You’re more than enough for me
Jesus You’re all I need

Bridge:
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands

so, anyways, i was just thinking, do you know that, just by singing this song with your heart, i truely believe that God will heal you.. im serious! He is my God. i know Him. he is more than enough for me..

speaking on healing, some people have a problem when, if they pray, they expect, God will n must heal!! and when God doesnt heal or chooses to allow you to go through your problem, they backslide n give up.. expecially when a loved one is affected.. my condolences go out to those who go trough this..

but, yes, nothing is imposible, God is great, i believe You’re my healer! so.. wats the problem here!!! why isn’t my loved one healed!??!?!?!?! the answer that i believe is in those words itself..

nothing is imposible- you can get over the situation( God will never put u in a situation that you cannot handle)

God is great- yes! He is great! let God plan who He wants to bring back Home. let God decide the path of your life. this is our temporary home.. ( a song by carrie underwood.. check it out), well, God is God! He knows whats best! His ways are not our ways.

i believe Your my healer- Yes!!! He can heal. ok, now understanding that whatever circumstances we went through, is God’s plan.. we know that He can heal us.. those who are left in sorrows.. the word “heal” can also be for the broken heart..

yes!!! i know!!! but why isnt my loved one healed!! after fasting and praying… why!!!!!

i believe it is up to God… im sorry for the pain n cry you have.. cry out to God, He’ll answer you’re cry.. on why He allows things to happen. i urge everyone to not turn away from God in hard times.. but turn to Him, although you feel betrayed, He did not! He did not!!! in Him you’ll find rest!! God is peace..

so, in those words that we talked about in the above paragraphs, you can find the ANSWER.. that it is God’s world, He owns it, He Loves you n your loved one!! He is in control!! dont worry about a thing.. it is not Gods will that one should be sick!!

i cant tell you why God allows this! i really cant! if it’s your problem.. i am not God to answer.. CRY OUT TO JESUS.. He’ll answer you..

everyone.. just to highlight, this also can be used for broken relationships.. sickness.. death.. ect.. Gods word stands.. thats all we have to know..

I TRUST IN YOU.. YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING.. MY FAITH IS IN YOU. YOU KNOW MORE THAN ME!

Handle With Care

Our relationships are precious, valuable treasures from heaven. We should handle them carefully, and instead of focusing on being right or focusing on what the other person should be doing for us, we should always focus on building bridges to each other’s hearts

Oftentimes, it’s the people we are closest to that can hurt us the most, and the enemy is always looking for a way to deliver a package of strife and division. If we are going to be all that God has called us to be, if we are going to fulfill the destiny God has for us, we can’t do it alone. Life is a group experience, and we need to recognize the value in the relationships we have. When others hurt or offend us, it is so important that we choose to focus on the long-term effects of our decisions instead of the gratification of “getting even” in the moment. Remember, disappointments are for a season, but relationships are for a lifetime.

I often hear people say that it is actions and not words that matter most. But really, I think both matter, especially when you consider that God spoke the universe into existence. His words have creative power. In the same way, we can create or destroy with our words. It is important to understand that our words—simple puffs of sound—can have a deep and permanent effect on our relationships. By choosing our words, we either choose strife or we choose love. It is that simple. Handle your words and your relationships with care because they are all that matter in eternity.

Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing (Proverbs 12:18; NIV).

Pour into Others

When I was a child, I remember learning about the Golden Rule—do unto others as you would have them do unto you.I recently read a children’s book that put a new twist on that old saying. The premise of the story was that everyone carries an invisible bucket. It’s an emotional bucket, and when your bucket is full, you feel happy, satisfied, and encouraged. When your bucket is empty, you feel down and discouraged.

In this world there are “bucket fillers” and “bucket dippers.” A bucket filler is a person who adds to other people by encouraging them and investing in them with kind words and actions. When bucket fillers pour into others, they find that their own buckets are filled up, too. Bucket dippers, on the other hand, are those who take away from people by using harsh, critical, or negative words. They not only deplete other people’s buckets, but they also diminish the contents of their own.

God intends for us to be bucket fillers. He wants us to use our lives and resources to help people be the very best they can be. I think about Peter, one of Jesus’ disciples. Peter was impulsive; he said things he shouldn’t have, and he needed to grow in a lot of areas. In spite of Peter’s personality drawbacks, Jesus referred to him in surprisingly positive terms. He said, “Peter, you are a rock.” Peter’s very name actually meant “pebble,” and I wonder if he felt like a tiny pebble at times, especially after some of his foolish blunders. Nevertheless, Jesus reminded Peter of what he was becoming—a solid, stable rock. He spoke potential and confidence into Peter’s life, and we should follow that example in our relationships.

Today, let’s look for ways to be bucket fillers not bucket dippers. Instead of reminding people of their failures and faults; let’s see the solid rock in them and speak positively about what they are becoming. Let’s pour into others the way God has called us to.

But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called today (Hebrews 3:13, NIV).

Celebrate Every Day

When our daughter, Alexandra, was just a little baby or maybe a year old, I’d go and get her out of her crib in the morning. When she’d hear me coming, she’d get so excited that she would start jumping up and down. She’d give me a great big hug with her arms and legs and a big kiss. Why was she was so excited? What was the occasion? Was it her birthday? Were we going on vacation? Were we headed to Disneyland? No, it was simply the dawning of a new day. She was excited just to be alive and have another day to enjoy.

That’s the excitement that God has placed on the inside of every one of us. We should never forget how to celebrate each day. But so often as we get older, we allow the challenges of life to push us down and sadden our spirits. We have to stop ourselves and realize that every day is a gift from God. Once today is gone, we can never get it back. If we make the mistake of living it negative, discouraged, grumpy and sour, then that is a day that’s been wasted.

I’ve made up my mind I am not going to waste any of my days. I’m going to celebrate each day as a gift from God.

Remember, happiness is a choice. I like what Abraham Lincoln said, “Most people are as happy as they’ve decided to be.” When you wake up in the morning, you can choose what kind of day you’re going to have. You can choose to be in a good mood, or you can choose to be in a bad mood. You can choose to live this day happy, excited, and expecting God’s goodness; or you can choose to be irritable and sour and just try to make it through. The way you live your life is totally up to you. It’s not dependent on your circumstances. It’s dependent on your choices. Choose to celebrate each and every day and look for the blessings God has in store for you!

Explore the Treasure Within

I read a story about a man who lived in a tiny apartment and died in extreme poverty. At one point in his life, he had even been homeless, living on the streets. This man never had any successes to speak of nor any noted victories. He lived and died as just another face in the crowd.

After the funeral, some family members went to his little run-down apartment to clear out his belongings. They found a painting hanging on the wall so they decided to sell it at a garage sale. The woman who bought the picture took it to a local art gallery for an appraisal and was shocked to discover that the painting was extremely valuable. The piece of art that hung for so many years in a little run-down apartment was painted by a famous artist who lived in the early 1800s. The woman decided to auction off that painting and ended up selling it for several million dollars.

Just think how that poor man’s life might have changed if he had known the value of what he possessed. He was a multimillionaire and didn’t even know it. So many people live like that today with priceless treasure inside, and they don’t even know it. Sometimes we have to explore what’s on the inside of us to really understand what we have.

I encourage you today; don’t settle for living a mediocre existence. You are a masterpiece created by the most famous Artist of all. Every morning when you get out of bed, remind yourself, I am important. I am handpicked by God, and I am a person of extreme value and significance.

For we are God’s masterpiece…(Ephesians 2:10, NLT).

Set Yourself Up for Success

The Bible tells us that Daniel had an excellent spirit. If you study his life, you’ll find that he chose excellent friends. Do you know who he hung out with? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego – the three Hebrew teenagers who refused to bow down to the king’s golden idol. It’s no wonder Daniel was a person of excellence. His friends were people of courage and integrity, people who wouldn’t compromise.

One of the best ways to set yourself up for success is to make sure the people you are choosing to spend time with have qualities that you want. Whether you realize it or not, the people you spend time with are rubbing off on you. Don’t think you can just sit in the lunchroom every day and listen to gossip and people badmouth the company and not be affected by it. Whether you join in or not, that poison is going inside of you. If you stay there long enough, more often than not, you’ll become a gossiper just like them. What’s the solution? Find somewhere else to eat lunch. Sit at a different table. Go outside. Yes, people may talk about you, they may think you’re odd, but you need to just rise above it. You have a destiny to fulfill. You are going places. You have to set yourself up for success by keeping that poison out of your life.

Psychologists tell us there is something called the “law of the group,” which means we associate with people according to the way we see ourselves. Have you ever noticed how, most of the time, people who gossip find other people who gossip? Negative people gravitate toward other negative people. Complainers seem to always find the other complainers. That’s where that saying “birds of a feather flock together” comes from. We find people just like us. Knowing this, I encourage you to evaluate your friendships. If your friends are all negative, tend to compromise, or settle for mediocrity, it’s time to get some new friends. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 13:20 that if you spend time with wise people, you will become wise. In the same way, if you spend time with victorious people, you will become victorious. If you spend time with successful people, you will become successful. So choose your friends carefully so you can set yourself up for success and be equipped to move forward in the destiny God has prepared for you!

Have a Made-Up Mind

As believers, we have to have a made-up mind. If we want to see God work in our lives, we can’t go back and forth on what we believe. If you leave church on Sunday all excited and feeling confident that God loves you, but by Tuesday you’re wondering if He’s there or how He feels about you, that’s being double-minded. When you’re double-minded, the Bible says you’re unstable.

God wants us to be stable and secure in His love for us. Sometimes we have to choose to believe His Word even when we don’t feel it. We have to know He loves us even when the pressures of life make it difficult to feel that love. Life will try to put a spirit of heaviness on you. Circumstances will try to bring you down, but God wants to take you up higher. He wants to do things that no man can do. He wants bless your life. But it all starts when you come into agreement with Him. You have to get up every morning and say, “God, I know You are for me; You’re not against me.” You have to have a made-up mind!

Today, no matter what you are facing, no matter what you are feeling, choose to believe God’s Word. Know that He loves you and wants the best for you. He is working in your life and taking you one step at a time. Let His love build confidence and security in You because He is faithful, and He will finish the work He started in you!

But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does (James 1:6-8, NIV).
