Topic : "Anxiety is the natural results when our hopes are centred in anything short of God and His will." - Bro. Billy Graham.

When Bro. Billy Graham wrote these words in 1965 no-one knew how true they would be after 56 years. At its best anxiety distracts us from the relationship with God and the truth that He is the Lord of our lives. And the Lord of heaven and earth. Mt. 11:25.

Anxiety is a crippling disease taking our minds and plunging our thoughts into darkness and despair.

But God wants for us to be secured in Him than to walk in life full of fear, worry and anxiety.

Word of God is very clear in Philip. in chapter 4 - Do not be anxious of anything. But in everything with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

The instructions in the Bible don't stop there. The chapter goes on to tell the believers exactly what we should focus on. And it's not fear, terrorism, disease, death or evil.

The more we are closer to Christ, lesser will be our anxiety. Billy Graham once said, "The Bible is not an option. It's a necessity." It's the only guiding principle to live hopefully and courageously without fear, worries and anxieties.

So, here are some resorces once again from the divine Word of God, for us to affirm and declare them so that we overcome fear and anxiety, and live ...

Have a blessed and victorious time!!🌹🙋🙂

Ps. 134:02. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and bless the Lord.

Topic : Anyone Doing God's Work In God's Way Is Important In The Sight Of God.

If we observe Psalm 134, it has only three verses. But it's a proof that little things can mean a lot. The first two verses are an admonition to the priests who serve in God's house night after night. Due to the long period of pandemic, though the mega churches are doing well and prospering, it's the pastors and the families in the small churches in small insignificant places who are serving the Lord, we need to think, act and pray.

The church building was dark and empty. Nothing of big was occuring. Nobody is watching them. No You tube or online service. The power was cut-off due to non payment of electricity bill. But, yet, these ministers with the members of the church in the night with the candles enjoyed every moment in the "All night prayer," lifting up their hands and praising the Lord. That's their faithfulness and love to serve the Lord even in their want or dire needs....

Have a blessed morning and purposeful day!🙋🌹🙂

Here are few frequent questions encountered by us in times of uncertainties and difficult times.

Topic : How To Strengthen Our Faith When God Seems Distant??

How to get closer to God and really ignite our faith in times of anxiety and fear??

Fear of unknown drains away our health. This happens normally because of our lack of faith or unconfessed sin within us.

God's answer to fear, worry and anxiety is only through His divine Word.

Life can be beautiful and at times like these painful too!! Uncertainty can breath anxiety and fear when unfortunate events like sudden sickness, loss of our dear ones takes place.

Often times like these, fear and anxious moments surround or rather buffet us. What's going to happen to my health?? How am I going to face life having lost my dear ones in this pandemic??

Divine Bible verses are the only Words which are not only powerful, inspiring, comforting, edifying, strenthening, life giving and assuring in these times. And it gives hope in desperate times. Gives peace amidst dark and tough times.

During these anxious times here are few Bible verses which I felt helps us to build fearless faith amidst difficult and stormy times.

Ps 34:04. I sought the Lord and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears.

Seeking the Lord is, we need to trust and believe in Christ's crucifixion for our sins, His burial and His resurrection. And receive Him as our Saviour so that we become His children. And then, He gives us His power. (John 1:12)

Having become His children, we need to soak our lives with the life giving Word of God. And then, we can declare the Word of God with our mouth in confidence which gives us strength, hope and confidence to overcome fear and anxiety.

Here are few promising verses from the Bible:

Isaiah 43:1. Thus says the Lord, who created you, Israel; Do not fear, for I have redeemed you. I have called you my my name. You are mine.

Have a blessed and victorious time!🙋🌹

Topic : We Must Take Christ In The Bright Days If We Would Want To Have Him When It Grows Dark.

John 11:03. Sisters of Lazarus sent to Jesus saying, "Lord,

behold, he whom Thou lovest is sick."

This devotion is in continuation of the devotion dtd. 2nd May regarding the story of two sisters, Lazarus and Jesus. In their trouble when Lazarus was sick, the first thought of the sisters was of Jesus, and they sent at once to Him. The lesson we should not overlook. No doubt they might have sent for the physician; but they also sent for Christ. We should never fail to send Word to Christ when anything is wrong with regard to sickness or anything that is wrong in our home. We should always want Him in our sick rooms when our loved ones are suffering.

We must carefully notice also the message that the sisters sent to Christ. It was very short, specific and simple. They did not beg and plead with Him to come. Indeed they made no request whatever. They merely told Jesus that His friend, Lazarus was sick, and left to Himself to decide what He would do. They knew He would do the right thing from the prompting of His heart. We must notice also the plea. They did not say, "He who loves Thee is sick." But they said, "Whom Thou lovest is sick." They made their appeal to Christ's own heart rather than to any personal claim. This is always the best plea for Christ. His love for us and not our love for Him....

Topic : School Of Pain And Adversity For His Children!

John 11: 25. Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me though he may die, yet shall he live.

John 11:01. Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister.

This home at Bethany was wondrously favoured. The family seems to have been wealthy. It was a loving home, all the three, Mary, Martha and Lazarus being bound together by very close and tender ties. This we know from the fact that Jesus found it such congenial home for himself. Jesus surely would not have chosen a quarrelsome household for His own abiding place. He could not have found refuge there if it had been anything but a home filled with love's sweetness.

We know that it was an affectionate household, also, from the sorrow of the sisters when their brother was dead. As we read the matchless story we are sure it was no ordinary that bound the family together. In very few homes we can see such sweet love.

Then it was a favoured home, also, because it was the one which Jesus chose to be the resting place for His heart in the still evenings after the fierce strifes with his enemies in the temple. It was His love for the members of this family, and the honor He put upon their home by which the little town of Bethany was immortalized.

Into the household that are dearest to Him pain, sorrow and suffering come. Word of God says, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous." But we shall see in the end, blessing to the family and glory to God comes from such trials, if we faint not. These thoughts should comfort us when sicknesses or adversity comes into our households.

Happy morning and successful day!!🙋🌹🙂

Topic : The God Of All Compassion Restores And Heals Us.

Dev. : Luke 05:12 & 13. And it happened when Jesus was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and He fell on His face and implored Him saying, "Lord if you are willing, you can make me clean." Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him saying "I am willing; be thou cleansed." Immediately the leprosy left Him.

The prayer of this leper shows a beautiful faith. The leper had no doubt whatever of Christ's ability to heal him. The only question in his mind was whether He would be willing to do it. There is no doubt that the Lord would love to heal him. If we see the whole of Bible not a single instance we can see where people who came to Jesus went back without being healed or restored.

Even so, Jesus could do to us if we in faith and humility go to Him.

Jesus could have just with a Word could have healed the leper.

He had a reason to touch the leper. Nobody desires to touch a leper. Instead they keep them at a distance. But Jesus unlike us, put out His compassionate hand and touched him showing to the world - that His love is divine and sacred which can melt any hardened heart. The healing has been done to bless the person and to glorify God.

Have a blessed morning and and a healthy new week!!🙋🌹🙂

Topic : Torment Of Fear. Fear Breeds Diseases And Health Problems. How Can We Overcome??

I liked what the famous virologist, Dr. MSN Reddy, founder of the famous Pharmaceutical company, Hetero Drugs said very recently in a video. Having worked in reputed Pharma companies, I am very much aware of the significance of Pharma companies in these present fearful times. Pharma scientists and industrialists, their words and advise has become invaluable - ' 'as how to encounter this dreadful or rather fearful pandemic of this Coronavirus?'

Dr. MSN Reddy said, "Most of them died not because of Corona, but because of fear. Though he does not hold the faith on the risen Christ, he is so much strong in asking everyone to put faith in God.

Then, how much more we need to be bold and courageous having the risen power of Christ within us? Often times, like the world we behave like orphans. We allow the roar of the lion to dictate our lives. As I said often times several fears encounter the human being in his or her life.

The foremost in mind for everyone is "fear of unknown."' Mean fear of uncertainty in life. Fear of rejection. Fear of failure.

Fear of when I can get married and to whom I get married to? There is a saying, "If you get a good life partner, you are complete. If you get a wrong life partner you are finished."😌. Fear of what job I get and when I get.

And now, everyone's focus is what to do and how to encounter this epidemic, Coronavirus?

The real truth is - Fear becomes truly fearless, fear become worry less when we have Christ in our lives. And in the centre of our lives. And not being pushed to a corner. It's purely a personal relation between you and God and between God and me. If we see the life of David. He did not say, Lord is our Shepherd. In Ps. 23:01 But he said, "The Lord is my shepherd."

The simple universal proven truth. Closer to Christ - lesser is the fear. Which means enjoying, believing and applying the divine powerful Word of Christ.

Have a blessed and fearless day!!🙂🙋🌹 Because He lives..
