Isaiah
prophesied the birth of Christ in the Old Testament.
For
unto us a Child is Born, unto us
a Son is given: and the Government shall be upon his shoulder: and
his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, the
Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. [Isaiah
9:6]
He
also predicted the crucification of Christ
But
he was wounded for our transgressions,he was bruished for our iniquities:the
chastisement of our peace was upon him:and with his stripes we were
healed. [Isaiah 53.5]
Let
the wicked forsake his way, and
the Unrighteous man his thoughts ;and let him return unto the Lord; and he will have mercy upon him and to our God for he will
abundantly pardon.
Our
Lord said My thoughts are not your thoughts? neither are your ways my ways. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
For
as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven and returneth not
thither,but waterth the earth,and maketh it bring forth and bud,that
it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater. So shall my
word be that goeth forth out of my mouth,it shall not return unto
me void, but it shall
accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing where to I sent it. For you shall go out with joy and be lead forth with peace, the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into
singing and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Jesus
Christ the most balanced and mature person who ever lived on this
planet. When the Jewish priests wanted to stone a woman caught in
adultery Jesus forgave
her and said to the priests if anyone among you havent committed
a sin let him cast or throw the first stone at her. Jesus was balanced in his prayer and scriptures. After Jesus
had fasted 40 days and 40 nights, he was very hungry. The
devil came to him and said if thou be the son of God command that these stones be made bread. Jesus answered saying
It is written Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word
that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Then the devil took him up
into the holy city and said unto him, if
thou be the Son of God cast thyself down for it is written, He shall
give his angels charge to protect thee. Jesus said unto him It is
written thou shalt not tempt the Lord God. Again the devil took him up into the mountains, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and said to Jesus,`All
these things I will give thee, if you fall down and worship me`. Jesus said Go away Satan?
for it is written Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only
shall thou serve. The devil went away and the angels came and ministered
unto him. Jesus was always Calm and Balanced.
Jesus
was travelling around Galilee, teaching in synagogues and preaching
the gospel of the kingdom and healing the sick. Thousands of people followed him where ever he went.
Jesus
taught his disciples:
1.Blessed are
the poor in spirit; for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
2.Blessed are
they that mourn, for they
shall be comforted.
3.Blessed are
the meek, for they shall
inherit the earth.
4.Blessed are
they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.
5.Blessed are
the merciful, for they
shall obtain mercy.
6.Blessed are
the pure in heart, for
they shall see God.
7.Blessed are
they, which are persecuted
for righteous sake, for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
8.Blessed are
ye, when men shall revile
you and persecute you, and
shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake.
Rejoice
and exceedingly glad, for
great is your reward in heaven.
The
prophets before you where
persecuted same as you.
You
are the salt of the earth; but
if the salt have lost its savour wherewith shall it be salted, it is good for nothing it shall be thrown out and to be trodden
under foot of men.
Jesus
said you are the light of the world. A city that build on a hill cannot be hid. Let your light shine before men, that it glorifies your father which is in heaven. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but not my words.
Thou
shall not kill and whosoever kill shall be in danger of the judgement.
Jesus
said Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth, give I unto you, let
not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid.
The
Ten Commandments

the sabbath day to keep it holy.
2.Honour

3.Thou

4.Thou

5.Thous

6.Thou

7.Thou

8.Thou
shall have no other gods before me.
9.Thou
shalt not take the name of the lord thy God in vain.
10.Thou
shalt not bow down before any God other than me.
Jesus
said Come unto me all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and lean on me, for
I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest unto your souls for my yoke is easy
and my burden is light.
How
did Jesus answer the priests who asked questions?
When
the priest asked questions to Jesus, he always answered with a question and a parable followed.
The
kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his
field. But while men slept
his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the house
holder came and said unto him, Sir you sowed good seeds in the field from where the tares
came. He said unto them, an enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him we shall go and gather them, but he said, while
we gather the tares, you
will remove the wheat along with them. So let it grow together until the harvest and in the time of
harvest I will say to the reapers, first remove the tares and bind them in bundles and burn them. But gather the wheat into the barn.
Another
parable he said unto the multitude,`The Kingdom of Heaven is like
to a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all seeds, but when it is grown it is the greatest among herbs and becometh
a tree, so that the birds
of the air come and lodge in the branches there of.
The
disciples were confused ,they came to Jesus and asked him to explain, Jesus answered and said to them, He that soweth the good seed is the son of man. The field is the world, the good seed are the children of the kingdom, but the tares are the children of the wicked one. The enemy
that soweth them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are the angels. As the tares are gathered and
burned in the fire, so
shall it be in the end of the world. The son of man shall send forth
his angels and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that
offend, and cast them
into a furnace of fire, there
shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Jesus
said if you want to enter the kingdom of God you have to change your
old ways and become as little children.
Faith
Jesus
said verily I say unto you, if
ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say unto the mountain, remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and
nothing shall be impossible to you. Faith comes through prayer. As
you pray you come closer to God and you can communicate in a better
way because you know him better.
If
you want anything in your life your father in heaven with provide
you, whatsoever you shall
ask in prayer, believing
you shall receive. You have to love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind. Prayer by faith
can change your life and heal you.
So
what things you desire,when you pray,believing you shall receive.
How
to conquer fear
"He
shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways"
Remember
God is everywhere, Where ever you go, what ever you do, what ever
you think he is there watching you. God is love, perfect love, unconditional
love. Perfect love casts out fear. If at any time you are afraid
see the situation with love, show kindness and peace will fill your
heart. When you fill your heart with love there is no room for fear.
God has created you in his own image, you are God's expression.
God is never afraid, he commands satan, he throws the devil
in hell. God created the whole world and he created you in his own
image. He has given you so much importance. Believe in him, thank
him for what he has done for you. You are one in a million. Never
in history was some one like you created. Out of love he has
created you. Don't fear evil, don't fear any human being. Only fear
him 'God the Almighty'.
Loving
and Kind thoughts will remove all unhappiness, all fears and doubts
and rejuvenate your heart, mind and soul with new life.
Morning
by mornng O Lord you hear my voice, morning by morning
I lay my request before you and wait in expectation.
I lie down and sleep
I wake again because the Lord sustains me
I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on
every side.
But I trust in you, O Lord
I say you are my God
My times are in your hands
O Lord my God, I called to you for Help
and you healed me.
Lord
you are my creator and my redeemer
As I trust you to save my soul
so also I trust you to heal my body.
Amen |
