What is the goal of Marriage 2

It is impossible to influence others if you can't communicate what is important to you. Since you are married to someone who is very different than you, the challenge to communicate is always there. Your spouse thinks different than you, reacts emotionally different than you and evaluates life different than you. As a result, you have to learn to state your convictions, ideas and preferences in new ways. Every time you reword your ideas for the benefit of your spouse, you grow in your ability to explain your convictions to others in your life. As they grasp what is important to you, they grow in their understanding of life and their own decisions.
Finally, your influence is most valuable when it outlasts you. When people in the next generation adopt what is important to you, adds their own value to it and then passes it on, your influence becomes a very powerful thing. People you will never meet will have their lives improved by your skills. Most people who get married have children, which creates a built-in audience for your ideas. Since your kids are emotionally attached to you during their most formative years, you have a naturally powerful impact on them. Since your kids are part of a different generation, they force you to translate your ideas so others can integrate them. Since your children eventually develop their own circle of influence, they extend your influence. The skills you learn by communicating with them also gives you the opportunity to influence others from their generation.
As you can probably tell, developing character, communication and continuation is strenuous. You will either embrace it as your greatest opportunity or complain about it as a significant irritation but you will be aware that your marriage is trying to help you be a better you.

Religion versus New Life

John 8v1-11 Col 1v12-14 2 Co 5v17

Greetings trust I find you well on this beautiful day that the Lord has made for us to rejoice and be exceedingly glad in it. Today we want to look at religion versus new life. Religion is where most of us are coming from, religious backgrounds. Religion teaches us to be holy and be good in order to go to God. New life makes us now understand that it is not possible for you to be good alone. You don't have to be good to go to God, you go as you are and God makes you good. We have redemption through his blood even the forgiveness of sin Col1v14. Only those that are not well are the ones who need a physician anyway.

Religion is behind the many church rules. We have churches where women and men don't mix they have their different allocated sections. But the funny thing is after the church service the same women and men squeeze and rub against each other to get into a taxi or bus. The woman who was brought to Jesus was brought under religion, according to the law of Moses she was supposed to be stoned. They brought her to grace for Christ brought grace whereas Moses brought the law. Religion is going to God but with new life God comes to you. The woman was ushered into the new life. When you come to God you come as you are.

With new life it doesn't matter what you have been through you don't have to be holy to come to God you come as you are and God makes you holy. Moses passed through the same ground until one day he had to take off his shoes for the ground was holy because God was there. Religion sees holiness in things whereas with new life holiness is in Christ. Religion is also behind idolatry, it's what makes us hang certain things and pictures in our houses which don't mean anything at all. When you meet Jesus your life won't remain the same whatever weapon formed against you shall not prosper for you are a new creation.

The major problem in church now is the mixing of things. Religious people can be in the club the whole of Friday night, Saturday night but they know it's good to be in church so Sunday morning they are the most punctual. Its either you are for God or for the devil, never mix the two. Don't be mixing things, you can't serve God and mammon (Mat 6v24). You can't be sangoma's customer number one (witchdoctor, native doctor) and also be giving the loudest Amen in church every service. If you be for God stand with God if not go and serve your master the devil. Why do you think Christ said many we will come saying Lord we knew you and He will reject them (Mat 7v23)? Also the bible says that our works shall be tested by fire (1 Co 3v13).

There is too much movement with religion. They brought her to Jesus, but they took only the woman and left the man. But the bible says here that there were caught in the very act "they" i.e. the two of them. Religious people are very far from God, they cover their iniquity with church. That's why its going to be interesting come judgment day, when we get to see who-is-who really. New life rids us of all these things, if only our eyes are opened we will understand what goes on around us.

Our weaknesses are perfected in Christ that's why He says come as you are. Sick people go to hospital some will be critical, some in intensive care some recovering but the desired aim is for them to get healed. We stumble and fall but the aim is to remain steadfast in Christ and eventually He will transform our lives. Don't be a judge of people in the church because we are all at different levels of processing. That's what grace does. You have a right to forgiveness and healing.
We thank God for the new life and His grace. Shun religion and walk in the new life with Christ.

Stay blessed

THE LAST SESSION

*After living what I felt was a 'decent' life, my time on earth came to the
end.*
*
The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting
room of what I thought to be a court house.

The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the
defense table.

As I looked around I saw the 'prosecutor. '

He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me. *
*
He definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen.*
*
I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney,
a kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed *
*so familiar to me,*
* I felt I knew Him.*
*
The corner door *
*flew open *
*and there appeared the Judge in full
flowing robes.*
*He commanded an awesome presence as He moved across the room, I couldn't
take my eyes off of Him...*
*
As He took His seat behind the bench, He said, 'Let us begin.'*
*
The prosecutor rose and said,
'My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this person
belongs to hell..'*
*
He proceeded to tell of lies that I told, things that I stole, and in the
past when I cheated others, immorality, malice, bribery, corruption, pride
and anger, Satan told of other horrible
Perversions that were once in my life and the more he spoke, the
further down in my seat I sank. *
*
I was so embarrassed that I couldn't look at anyone, even my own Attorney,
as the Devil told of sins that even I had completely
forgotten about.*

*As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me, I was
equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not Offering any form of
defense at all.*

*I know I had been guilty of those things, but I had done some good in my
life - couldn't that at least equal out part of the harm I'd done?*

*Satan finished with a fury and said, 'This person belongs in hell,
is guilty of all that I have charged and there is not a person
who can prove otherwise.'*

*When it was His turn, My Attorney first asked if He could approach the
bench.*

*The Sitting Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan,
and beckoned Him to come forward.*
*
As He got up and started walking, I was able to see Him in
His full splendor and majesty..*
*
I realized why He seemed so familiar; this was Jesus representing me, *
*my Lord and my Savior.*
*
He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, 'Hi,
Dad,' and then He turned to address the court.*
*
'Satan was correct in saying that this person has sinned, I won't deny any
of these allegations.*
*
And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and this person deserves to be
punished.*
*
Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with
outstretched arms and proclaimed, 'However, I died on the cross so
that this person might have eternal life and *
* has accepted Me as Savior, so this person is Mine.' *
*
My Lord continued with, 'This person's name is written in the Book of Life,
and no one can snatch this one from Me.*
*
Satan still does not understand yet. This person is not to be given justice,
but rather mercy.'*
*
As Jesus sat down,
He quietly paused, looked at His Father and said, 'There is nothing else
that needs to be done.'
'I've done it all.'

The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down.
The following words bellowed from His lips..

'This person is free.'

'The penalty has already been paid in full.'

'Case dismissed.'

As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving,
'I won't give up, I will appeal, I will win the next one.'*
* I asked Jesus *
*as He gave me *
*my instructions where to go next, 'Have you ever lost a case?'

Christ lovingly smiled and said,

'Everyone that has come to Me and asked Me to represent them has received
the same verdict as you,
~Paid In Full~'*

*All you need to do, repent of your old ways and surrender your life to God
through Jesus.

If you do not pass this along to 15 people immediately,**
absolutely nothing will happen**.

Passing this on to anyone you consider a friend,
(as I have done here), will bless you both.

'Stop telling God how big your storm is.
Instead, tell the storm how big your God is!'*

* *

SPEEDILY AND EXACTLY.

May the God Who has caused His Name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who put forth their hands to alter this or to destroy this house of God in Jerusalem. I Darius make a decree; let it be executed speedily and exactly. (Ezra 6:12 AMP)

It a fact that when too much speed is applied on doing something, there is a danger that mistakes could be made resulting in the redoing of the work or the spoiling of the work. But when an instruction comes from the king for something to be done speedily, there has to be an exercise of care from those who are given the instruction to ensure that the work is done with perfection.

The temple of the Lord needed to be rebuilt. The foundation had been laid and what remained was the raising of the walls. There was much opposition to the remnant that had returned to fulfill this work. The political interference was too much it was stalling the work of the temple. When you set out to do a work for God which includes the fulfilling of what he has spoken in your life, there will be so much antagonism. The enemy will not allow this to just happen. Wrong representations were made by the governors of the land just to impede the work. When king Darius came into power, he was asked to check the book of records and see the decree passed before by King Cyrus for the rebuilding of this temple.

When the king caught sight of this, he speedily made his own decree concerning the house of the Lord which would enable the discharge of Cyrus' decree. The temple would be rebuilt, speedily and according to specification. There would be provision that would be supplied by the king out of the tribute coming from the people in that area and there would be a supply of the sacrifices that would be sacrificed on the altar of the Lord daily. Here is the king of Babylon, born in wickedness but God twisted his heart towards an agenda from heaven to be fulfilled on earth. He had no choice but to favour the children of God.

You have to see something today! Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him out of them all (Psalm 34:19). When you set your heart towards seeking the Lord regardless of who opposes you, the Lord will turn their heart towards you for the sole purpose of fulfilling His word. The enemy will have to supply you with building materials and he will have to furnish you with the sacrifice to place on the altar of the Lord. Where the Lord sends you, don't fear to go. Don't look at what you don't have but fix your eyes on what He can make possible for you. I see you flying, I see you becoming what God said you are. You will build with no hindrance. Anything and anyone that was opposing you will have to join you now. Things are happening quickly for you, they are happening exactly as God said they would.

Forgiveness the ultimate sacrifice.

Pain,pain,betrayal,abuse,rejection,loss,you name all the evils we all go through them all.But we give ourselves the best gift ever,when we choose and pray to God to help us to forgive.Thanx to you all on the response to my posts and articles on forgivnees.Forgiveness is harder to achieve,but its achieveable. It may be harder because there is still the ego that was pained, the difficulty of accepting one's weakness, the feeling of wanting to seek revenge or even the need to continue to feel miserable. We keep praying that God will help us forgive the person that caused us pain yet it is never possible when there is no forgiveness from within. Self forgiving is the starting point. You might say, what is there to forgive when they were the ones who wronged us? Yes, it may be true. Yet, we cannot give to others what we do not have within ourselves. We cannot forgive others if we do not forgive ourselves.

When forgiving others, it doesn't mean you approved of the act. It doesn't mean you want to continue on with what was left behind. Forgiving others means letting go of the power that act has in our lives. We are untangling ourselves from being held hostage from the pain and misery the other person has caused us. The act of forgiving is freeing ourselves from our own grip, our own belief that we have to live miserably because of whatever that has happened. In truth, we have the choice every minute of our life to live joyously no matter what. Whether the other party benefits from our forgiveness, it really doesn't matter. What matters most is we find freedom in forgiving.

FW: Daily Bible Verse

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his
disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some
say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or
one of the prophets." "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say
I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the
living God."

Matthew 16:13-16 (New International Version)

Yours is the Living Child

Gripping her [ firmly] by the hand, He said to her, Talitha cumi -- which translated is, Little girl, I say to you, arise[ a from the sleep of death]! And instantly the girl got up and started walking around -- for she was twelve years old. And they were utterly astonished and overcome with amazement. (Mark 5:41-42 AMP)

The devil always wants to give you a raw deal, exchanging what is good with what is bad and pilfering what is rightfully ours. It is a blunder to accept things without evaluating them, an error of great magnitude ending in your demise. It is never God's intention to cause hardship and suffering to His children.

Jairus was a respected man in the community, a ruler of the synagogue who commanded much honour amongst his own people. The devil does not respect the title or the position one holds in the church. He will endeavor and attack anybody. Praise God Jairus knew where to run, he was privy to the movements of Jesus and made his way to the place He was. Jesus as usual was pre occupied with the Father's business. He was healing the sick and setting the captives free from all kinds of bondages. The child was sick unto death but Jesus told Jairus to be patient and wait. When he was done, he joined Jairus to go and heal his daughter.

A message came saying, don't trouble the Master anymore, the child is dead. Jesus responded and told him not to fear but to believe. When Jesus got into the room where the dead girl was lying he gripped her firmly by the hand and spoke to her. He disregarded the presence of death. He defied its existence because He is the resurrection and the life. He spoke words of authority over the dead girl, "Talitha cumi" (little girl I say to you arise). His voice penetrates even the deathly situations; the little girl stood up instantly and started to walk around.

You might be that little girl today. Your situation might be looking hopeless and there seem to be no solace. In every direction you look there seem to be demise and loss. Let me tell you something, the words of Jesus are still as powerful today. They are death defying and transmit power that can pull you away from that yoke of bondage. There is a firm hand that is gripping you right now and it is the hand of Jesus.

The doctor might have told you that the disease you have is incurable. Don't lose your confidence in the Lord today. Like Jairus just believe in the face of death. The author of life, the one who says I am the resurrection and the life is here today to change every pronouncement from hell over your life.

You are for life, you are for success and you are for progress. Anything else below this is a raw deal from the enemy and under no circumstances should it be accepted in your bosom. Only believe today and you will see the hand of the Lord at work in your life. Only believe and you will witness the abounding power of the Lord to quicken and resurrect the dead.

Guiding your children in the difficult years.

'…wisdom is better than muscle…' Ecclesiastes 9:16

If you're serious about changing your child-work on changing yourself! Trying to change others usually doesn't work anyway. Adolescents perceive such efforts as saying, 'You're not acceptable to me.' That's a perfect way to turn them into freedom-fighters whose cause becomes resisting your efforts to change them. The best way to change someone is to change how you handle them. When you change your steps, the entire dance routine changes because you've changed what they're responding to. If what you're doing isn't working, stop it and do something that will! You don't have to come up with the perfect solution at first. Just stopping the tired, frustrating dance of conflict will improve your environment, decrease stress and opposition, and help make way for a more effective strategy. Nagging only makes your kids ask, 'Why are you always on my back?' diverting them from the real issues. Decreasing tension, while affirming your child's value to you, increases your likelihood of success. The adolescent mind is wired differently. They're not crazy, they're just dealing with rapidly changing chemistry. There was a time when we thought that by five years of age the brain was finished changing. Were we ever wrong! We know now its most sophisticated development happens throughout adolescence. In the emerging teen brain neurons fire off spontaneously, without warning or conscious reasons, leaving your child overwhelmed by feelings they don't understand and haven't yet learned to control. So they behave irrationally, inconsistently, unpredictably, irritatingly. Your job is to try to understand this and become a calming influence. The 'craziness' will pass. In the meantime, pray: '…wisdom is better than muscle…'.

God will bring you through.

'there arose against [us]...Euroclydon.' Acts 27:14
Euroclydon! Its d only storm to be named in the scripture. It means typhoon and Paul had to sail through it to reach his destiny. Observe: 1 to reach your goal you have to in through storms. 'When neither sun nor stars appear for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved. [Acts 27:20]. There will be days you will wonder how you going to make it. But by God's grace you will! 2 ] Storms reveal how well you know God. 'last night an angel of the God whose i am and whom i serve stood beside of and said, "Do not be afraid Paul."'[Acts 27:23-24]. Its the tough times that reveal the strength of your God-connection. 3] God can make a success out of a shipwreck. Notice some important things in this story; a ] sometimes you will have to throw staff overboard. [Acts 27:18] b ] in spite of your best efforts you will occassionally run aground [Acts 27:26] c ] you must remember what God told you and stand on it. [Acts 27:25]
4 ] Often the worst thing that could have happened turns out for the best. God used shipwreck to reach Malta with the Gospel. Notice what happened to Paul and his travelling companions as they left that Island : 'they honoured us...and when we were ready to sail, they furnished up with the supplies we needed' [Acts 28:10]. Stop worrying, God will provide what you need in ways that amaze you. If you are His child you are not the victim of circumstances. Your future is not in the hands of people, its in the hands of God.

He is The Everlasting God

Sent from my Nokia phone

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the
weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and
weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they
will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:28-31 (New International Version)

Adversity wil make u sucesful and satisfied

Ladies and Gentleman, it is official: A new study has concluded that experiencing "adverse life events" not only makes you stronger but more satisfied with your life. This study also found that people who sail through life with ease or face less frequent adversity usually do not fare as well compared to those that do. Due to this information, researchers came to the conclusion that ''people are more resilient than we thought and happier because of it."

Have you ever experienced an emotional, financial, or personal setback? Has that setback ever been a key to your success?

Personifications of Marriott's quote are available throughout America's rich history. For instance, Babe Ruth struck out a ridiculous 1,330 times in his professional baseball career, but because of his willingness to continue on after failure Ruth went on to amass the record-setting tally of 714 home runs. R.H. Macy failed an incredible 7 times before his Flagship Macy's Department store of New York City caught on! The great Walt Disney, creator of Disney Motion Pictures and DisneyWorld, failed numerous times, and even suffered a nervous breakdown and lost his home, before he was able to develop a successful cartoon about a mouse named Mickey. The moral of these great American success stories is that the most amazing successes are more often than not built upon early adversities. Therefore, it is important to bear in mind that only out of adversity can massive success truly be born, and it is our job as humans striving for excellence to turn these adversities into eventual successes.

One important key to turning your adversities into amazing successes is the importance of seeing your adversities as a bump in the road and not the end of the road. Your adversities are integral parts of the development process that prepares you for eventual success.

A second important key to turning adversity into success is one's attitude. Answer this question: do you see your glass as half full or half empty? Or, more grammatically, do you see your current adversity as a "setback-period" or as a "setback-comma"? I ask this because as children we were all taught that there were two punctuation marks, each being critica l to our ability to effectively learn to read and write. These two punctuation marks were the period and the comma. A period means the end of a sentence or end story, automatically implying that there is no more to be said or communicated, whereas a comma signifies a pause in the thought, with more to come in the sentence or story! When we have a setback, which we all will experience at some point or another in this life, we have the choice of deciding if this is particular setback will be a period or a comma in our life's story. I encourage you to see life's challenges as a comma and not a period, but you are the one who must make the choice.

Remember that your attitude determines how you see and respond to the adversity that you are facing. As Bob Johnson, the founder of BET and current billionaire, once wrote, "Adversity can either make you or break you! The same hammer that breaks the glass happens to be the same hammer tha t sharpens the steel!" Hence, your eventual success or failure all depends on the positivity or negativity of your attitude and perspective.

Yours is the Living Child Part 2

Sent from my Nokia phone

And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. (1 Kings 3:20)

Your enemy has no conscience and does not know how to play fair. This is why you should be ever alert and not sleep in your spirit. Paul admonishes us in Romans 13:11 that this is the high time to awake from sleep. Sleep is a state of relaxation where one forgets the buzz of the outside world. It is a state of spiritual ease. In this state, the believer has forgotten prayer, study of the word of God and the foundational issues such as fellowship with other believers. If you are in this state, wake up!

In Matthew 13:24-28 Jesus tells a parable of a man who sowed good seed into his field. Whilst men slept, his enemy came and sowed wheat like weeds amongst his wheat and went away. When his plants began to grow, the weeds also appeared. When the servants went to tell him, his remark was, "An enemy hath done this." It is imperative for every believer to be alert and not relax because the enemy is out on the prowl seeking to deposit something in your bosom. Where there is health, he would want to deposit sickness. In marital bliss, it is his joy to sow discord, in prosperity and progress he would want to sow financial hardship and pain.

Check your bosom on a daily basis; consider carefully the deposits in it. Ensure that your relationship with the Father is constantly in line. It is your connection to the divine presence of God that will ensure that invariable victories are in your life. I declare that your eyes will be especially open to see and discern all the tactics of the enemy.

Today, you must rise in intercession for the return of that which was stolen. The word tells that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much (James 5:16). It is dynamic in its working and certainly causes changes in your environment. It has the effect of recovering that which was stolen and lost. Such prayer pursues the thief and collects back all the spoil he had plundered.

You can get back your smile, joy can return to your family. Yes, it can be a pleasurable experience again to live your house in the morning to go to work. This is despite the way the enemy had tried to destroy you. Awake from your sleep today, God has brought you light!

The Love of Money

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing
into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food
and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get
rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful
desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of
money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money,
have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

1 Timothy 6:6-10 (New International Version)

Yours is the living child

" And she arose at midnight and took my son from beside me while your handmaid slept and laid him in her bosom and laid her dead child in my bosom 1 Kings 3:20."

Two women living under one roof had been both blessed with sons. They had experienced fruitfulness and one can only imagine the level of excitement that was in their hearts as they nursed their babies. It was in the midst of this that one night at midnight; one of the women carelessly slept on her child and suffocated him.

At that moment, whilst the other woman slept, an illegal swop took place. It was a theft of a rare order, one which would deny this woman a son, the very fruit of her labour and womb. The woman who suffocated her child removed the dead one from her bosom and took the living one into her own bosom. Whilst the other woman slept, she was plundered and lost what was rightfully hers.

When she woke up to nurse her child, she realized the child was dead. I want you to understand that the enemy does not rest; he seeks to steal and devour. There are many things that you have received from the Father and celebrated which the enemy is targeting. A moment of napping and relaxation might end up with a loss of great magnitude. As you wake up each morning and heard to that office to engage in your business, always be alert knowing that the adversary is always looking for an opportunity to bring what you are doing down. That business is a good gift from above and the enemy is not pleased with that. That job you have, the marriage, your children, your health and many good things around you are not pleasing to the enemy of your soul. The devil wants to swop it at night whilst you sleep and replace it with a dead, non functional thing. He wants to empty your bosom of the best and replace it with the worst.

Thank God that in the morning, when things were clear and apparent the woman who had lost her child considered the dead child and realized that this child was not the one she had given birth to. She used the virtue of consideration to identify the illegal transaction that had taken place in the night. The word tells us to be vigilant and sober for our adversary the devil is roaming around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Pet 5:8).

I declare prophetically into your life right now that the enemy will no more make you conduct funerals when you should be celebrating your fruitfulness. I declare that the virtue of consideration is coming on you. You will analyze and understand things. I declare that you are being empowered to go after the thief and boldly demand the return of your fruit in Jesus' name.

Refuse for the enemy to just make you cry without understanding of what the issues are. You have to consider the things around you and allow the wisdom from above to enable you to discern and interpret things as they are. When they approached King Solomon, it took wisdom to unravel a seemingly difficult mystery. What looked impossible was changed into possibility by the power of God. Today you will triumph because of the wisdom of God that is in on you.

Jesus' Death - 60 Seconds to Understand

the next 60 seconds, set aside whatever
you're doing and take this opportunity! Let's see if Satan
can stop this.

THE
(SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS

At the age of 33,
Jesus was condemned to the death penalty.

At the time
crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst
criminals condemned to be crucified. Yet it was
even more dreadful for Jesus, unlike
other criminals condemned to death by
crucifixion Jesus was to be nailed to the
cross by His hands and feet.

Each nail
was 6 to 8 inches long.

The nails
were driven into His wrist. Not
into His palms as is commonly
portrayed. There's a tendon in the wrist that
extends to the shoulder.. The Roman guards knew
that when the nails were being hammered into the
wrist that tendon would tare and
brake, forcing Jesus to use His back
muscles to support himself so that He could
breath.

Both of His feet
were nailed together. Thus He was forced to
support Himself on the single nail that
impaled His feet to the cross. Jesus could
not support himself with His legs because of the pain
so He was forced to alternate between arching His
back then using his legs just to continue to
breath. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the
suffering, the courage.

Jesus endured this
reality for over 3 hours.

Yes,
over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of
suffering? A few minutes before He died,
Jesus stopped bleeding. He was simply pouring water
from his wounds.

From common images
we see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound
to His side. But do we realize His wounds
were actually made in his body. A hammer
driving large nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped
and an even large nail hammered through the arches, then a
Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But
before the nails and the spear Jesus was whipped and
beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the
flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that His
face was torn and his beard ripped from His face. The
crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp. Most men
would not have survived this torture.

"

He had no more blood
to bleed out, only water poured from His
wounds.
The
human adult body contains about 3.5 liters
(just less than a gallon) of blood.

Jesus poured all 3.5
liters of his blood; He had three nails hammered into His
members; a crown of thorns on His head and, beyond
that, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into His
chest.

All these without
mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying His own
cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his
face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight,
only for its higher part, where His hands were
nailed).

Jesus had
to endure this experience, so that you can have free
access to God.

So that your sins
could be "washed" away. All of them, with no exception!
Don't ignore this situation.

JESUS
CHRIST DIED FOR YOU!

For you, who now
read this e-mail. Do not believe that He only died for
others (those who go to church or for pastors, bishops,
etc).

He died for you! It
is easy to pass jokes or foolish photos by e-mail, but
when it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward
to others because you are worried of what they may think
about you.

Accept
the reality, the truth that JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR
THE WORLD.

God
has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced
to save you. Now think about this! May God bless your
life!

60
seconds with God...

For the next 60
seconds, set aside what you're doing and take
this opportunity! Let's see if Satan can stop
this.

All you have to do
is:

1.

Simply
pray for the person who sent this message to
you:

2.Then, send this
message to 10 people..
More
if you wish.

3.10 people will
pray for you and you will make that many people pray to God
for other people.

4. Take a
moment to appreciate the power of God in your life, for
doing what pleases Him.

If you are not
ashamed to do this, please, follow Jesus' instructions.
He said *(Matthew 10:32 & 33):* "Everyone therefore
who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge
before My Father in heaven; but whosoever denies Me
before others, I also will deny before My
Father in heaven".

If you believe,
send this message... But send it only if you believe
in Christ Jesus is your Lord and Savior.

Yes, I love God. He
is my source of life and my Savior. He keeps me alive day
and night.

Without Him, I am
nothing, but with Him "I can do all things through Him
who strengthens me". Philippians 4:13.

This is the simple
proof. If you love God and you are a believer and trust
in salvation through Christ Jesus, send this to all those
you love.

Every problem has a solution

" …The race is not for the swift or battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all" Ecclesiastes 9:11

Every problem has a solution, failure is on the part of the one trying to solve it. I am not trying to blame you for all your failures but if you want to be honest with yourself 90% is because of your own doing. Whether the situation you are in is your own doing or something you got through your family setup. There is always a solution to it.

Let me take an analogy of mathematics. When given a question it is usually written as solve the problem below. What they understand is you are well able to solve it but they want to test you. So what is happening to you might be a test to see how you can solve it. In mathematics there might be many formulas to solve the problem but you get to the answer using the method that you have understood well. Failure to get the answer doesn't mean you weren't taught.

You will see when the results come, someone has 0% and another has 96%.Getting a 0% does not mean there is completely no solution; it's the way you have solved that is wrong. If the highest has 96% and the one he failed to answer had 4marks.Someone with 80% might have got that question right. So you see that there is a solution to every problem.

Your problem has a solution, if you have failed in one area ask others who have excelled in that area then you will succeed .Don't be rigid in trying to get a different result using the same method over and over again. Ask for wisdom from God and direction then you will succeed .There is nothing you can do without God.

The race is not for the swift but time and chance happen to them all. Your time will come don't give up. You can overcome.
