peaceful heart

I believe everyone of us longing to have a peaceful heart. Its so priceless that can't be traded with money. It comes from within ur soul depend on the atmosphere of your heart. It doesn't matter that what your circumtances might look as you can't change it for sure but when you have a peaceful heart you can still get through it with smile on your lips, because you know that in the end you'll be the one who will keep standing!! To have the atmosphere you only need to believe in God and be God's consciousness person.. Have faith in Him and His promise. In my entire life, God has been so faithful to me.

I've been up and down, making mistakes, doing so many stupid things but still He is the One who always keep His promise that He will never ever leave me and no one can take me away from His love. Whenever i face some hard times, i learn to believe that in the end there'll alway...

A Friend Should Be Radical...

A Friend should be Radical, Fanatical, and Most of All, Mathematical… : A Friend should be Radical; They should love you when you’re unlovable, Hug you when you’re unhuggable, And bear you when you’re unbearable. A Friend should be Fanatical; They should cheer when the whole world boos, Dance when you get good news, And cry when you cry too. But most of all, a Friend should be Mathematical; They should multiply the joy, Divide the sorrow, Subtract the past, And add to tomorrow, Calculate the need deep in your heart, and always be bigger than the sum of all their parts.

Choose Your Relationships with Care

"When you walk with wise men, you will become wise, but a companion of fools will be destroyed." (Proverbs 13:20) Today's Word from Joel and Victoria The quality of life is often determined by the quality of our relationships. Do you know that you will become like the people you associate with? If you constantly spend your time around lazy and undisciplined people, then before long, you're going to be lazy and undisciplined. But on the other hand, if you associate with successful people, then you're going to be successful. If you spend your time with people of vision, who are going places in life, you will be inspired to go further than you would on your own. Take time to examine your friendships. Ask yourself, do I want to be like this person? Do I like their qualities? Do they inspire me to reach for new heights? As you choose to be around wise people, you will become wise too, and walk in the abundant life God has for you! A Prayer for Today G...

Your Idea Of A Good Friend

I n kindergarten your idea of a good friend was the person who let you have the red crayon when all that was left was the ugly black one. In first grade your idea of a good friend was the person who went to the bathroom with you and held your hand as you walked through the scary halls. In second grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you stand up to the class bully. In third grade your idea of a good friend was the person who shared their lunch with you when you forgot yours on the bus. In fourth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who was willing to switch square dancing partners in gym so you wouldn’t have to be stuck do-si-do-ing with Nasty Nicky or Smelly Susan. In fifth grade your idea of a friend was the person who saved a seat on the back of the bus for you. In sixth grade your idea of a friend was the person who went up to Nick or Susan, your new crush, and asked them to dance with you, so that if they said no you wouldn’t have...

I Refuse To Be Discouraged

I refuse to be discouraged, To be sad, or to cry; I refuse to be downhearted, And here’s the reason why… I have a God who’s mighty, Who’s sovereign and supreme; I have a God who loves me, And I am on His team. He is all wise and powerful, Jesus is His name; Though everything is changeable, My God remains the same . My God knows all that’s happening; Beginning to the end, His presence is my comfort, He is my dearest friend. When sickness comes to weaken me, To bring my head down low, I call upon my mighty God; Into His arms I go. When circumstances threaten To rob me from my peace; He draws me close unto His breast, Where all my strivings cease. And when my heart melts within me, And weakness takes control; He gathers me into His arms, He soothes my heart and soul. The great “ I AM ” is with me, My life is in His hand, The “ Son of the Lord ” is my hope, It’s in His strength I stand. I refuse to be defeated, My eyes are on my God; He has promised to be with me, ...

If I Could...

If I could catch a rainbow I would do it just for you And share with you its beauty On the days you’re feeling blue. If I could build a mountain You could call your very own A place to find serenity A place to be alone. If I could take your troubles I would toss them in the sea But all these things I’m finding Are impossible for me. I cannot build a mountain Or catch a rainbow fair But let me be what I know best: A friend that’s always there. by author unknown

Change your Words, Change your World

This message really speak to my heart...i hope it will bless you as well.. its taken from Joelosteen.com "Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life. Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put devious lips far from you." Proverbs 4:23-24 Today's Word from Joel and Victoria We want to encourage you today to watch what you are saying. Your words have creative power and you can use them as a destructive force or as an instrument of blessing. If you continually speak negative words over your life, then eventual defeat will be the result. In the same way, if you speak words of faith and victory, you will see a harvest of blessing not only in your own life, but also in the lives of those around you. Remember your mother telling you: "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all?" That was good advice. Don't give life to your negative thoughts by speaking them out. You can't continue to...

finally..

today i just found out what it really means of.." don't judge a book by its cover ".. few months ago i thought something that "Too good to be true" is about to happen but then i realize that it doesn't happen instantly, it takes a process and off course it takes time, when we rush we wont be able to see things clearly now i know that everything has it own time, especially when it comes to a relationship no matter its a friendship or romance, all the same. I did lot of mistakes in the past and whether i realize or not sometimes i hurt someone's heart, and made them turn to be a person i never knew before.. totally out of the image box.. then something that used to be a " too good to be true " now become " thank God i didnt believe that ".. i'm confused, should i be sorry or grateful ? but my heart tell me to be grateful in everything.. last nite, me and the gank were having a bridal shower for our beloved sister and...

A collection of thoughts on love

Got this message from a friend.. as i read those lines below..it touches my heart.. its a very simple message but hard to do..but we should try.. for the sake of LOVE.. --- It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship and find out you still care for that person. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go. When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but oftentimes we look so long at the closed door, that we don’t see the one that has been opened for us. The best kind of friend is the kind you...

..mistery..

these couple of days we've been talking about the tragedy happend in jogja. the earthquake has caused more than 5,000 people died..today as i was driving around jakarta, there are lots of people asking money for jogja..it obviously that this tragedy has caused all of us to care for each other more..yes..that's one of the reason.. i believe if God let this happen then there must be a big thing waiting for us in the future.. we should remember that God is still in control.. we're reminded not to depend our life to worldly things..because its temporary..how can we hold on to something that can be destroyed.. in God alone we should put our trust.. because He knows the plan for us..plan not to harm us but to prosper us..and give us the bright future.. for me myself this tragedy is a reminding of our mission as a christian..to reach out those lost souls.. they need to come back to God..... while others still question why this is happend..many believe as unsolved mister...

Be Christ-Conscious

by Ps. Joseph Prince - New Creation Church - Singapore Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace Have you ever woken up in the morning and said, “Today, I will not sin.” And as you leave your house, you say, “I must be careful not to fall into sin today. I don’t want to sin. I will not sin!” My friend, when you do this, you are no longer Christ-conscious but sin-conscious, even though you have not sinned yet. Men, have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I don’t want to look at any woman in case I lust”? You are being sin-conscious when you think like that. And sooner or later, you will lust in your heart. You may not sin outwardly, but you will sin inwardly. Have you also tried confessing every sin? I have! As a teenager, when a bad thought came, I would quickly say, “Sorry Lord, forgive me for this thought in Jesus’ name.” Then, another thought would come and I would quickly say, “Forgiv...

But Love...

A house is a house is a house - until love comes through the door, that is. And love intuitively goes around sprinkling that special brand of angel dust that transforms a house into a very special home for very special people: your family. Money, of course, can build a charming house, but only love can furnish it with a feeling of home. Duty can pack an adequate sack lunch, but love may decide to tuck a little love note inside. Money can provide a television set, but love controls it and cares enough to say no and take the guff that comes with it. Obligation sends the children to bed on time, but love tucks the covers in around their necks and passes out kisses and hugs (even to teenagers!). Obligation can cook a meal, but love embellishes the table with a potted ivy trailing around slender candles. Duty writes many letters, but love tucks a joke or a picture or a fresh stick of gum inside. Compulsion keeps a sparkling house. But love and prayer stand a better cha...

..listening..

lately i learnt to listen to my heart .. to listen means not just to hear but also to obey.. coz once u do it you'll find peace..that's how it works.. sometimes mind doesn't get along with your heart, it happens a lot.. your age will tell you things that only your mind could understand but it doesn't always go that way.. your age is not the reason that you should ignore your heart...and just flow with your mind,i believe God will speak to us through our heart and in the end your mind will follow.. i'm so blessed to have people who cares around me.. friends are the best thing God has given me in thes few years of my life.. those are my treasure..sometimes friends could go far beyond your own family.. u'll understand it if you ever live far away from your family.. your friends become your family and they can change your future.. i really believe that friends are Gods extended hands in my life.. my fav quote about friends are the angels who lift us to ou...

The Antidote To Fear

The Antidote To Fear by Ps. Joseph Prince (new creation church - singapore) 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear… Experts tell us that babies have two natural fears: The fear of falling and the fear of loud noises. A study on fear was conducted on 500 adults of varying ages, backgrounds and lifestyles. The results showed that there were 7,000 different fears shared among them. This means that they have learnt 6,998 fears since they were born. That is a lot of fears learnt! Actually, our bodies are designed for faith. Fear was foreign to man until Adam sinned against God. For the first time, Adam knew fear, and he hid from God and said, “I heard Your voice… I was afraid… I hid myself.” (Genesis 3:10) Since then, man has been living in the realm of fear — fear of the future, fear of what others might say, fear of diseases, fear of flying… Actually, every fear is born out of the feeling of being cut off from God. If you think that God is s...

The Battle Is The Lord's

by Ps. Joseph Prince (new creation church - singapore) 2 Chronicles 20:15 ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. When faced with a problem or a challenge, we ask ourselves, “What am I going to do?” And well-meaning family members and friends will come along and ask, “What are you going to do?” Jehoshaphat faced a multitude of enemies. But instead of focusing on what he could do, he prayed, “O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.” (2 Chronicles 20:12) When we turn our eyes on God, we will hear Him say, “Do not be afraid nor be dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours but God’s... You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord…” (2 Chronicles 20:15,17) But standing still is the last th...

*Still He Walked*

counting the days to the most sacred day in christian life... the day that hold all the answer .. so all people can say ..No wonder they call Him savior --- H e could hear the crowds screaming “crucify” “crucify”… He could hear the hatred in their voices, These were his chosen people. He loved them, And they were going to crucify him. He was beaten, bleeding and weakened… his heart was broken, But still He walked. He could see the crowd as he came from the palace. He knew each of the faces so well. He had created them. He knew every smile, laugh, and shed tear, But now they were contorted with rage and anger…his heart broke, But still He walked. Was he scared? You and I would have been, so his humanness would Have mandated that he was. He felt alone. His disciples Had left, denied, and even betrayed him. He searched the crowd for a loving face and he saw very few. Then he turned his eyes to the only one that mattered And he knew that he would never be alone. He looked ba...

The Holy Spirit

Thursday, March 23 rd 2006 Rev. Kong Hee Session-1: The Holy Spirit I King 18 – it took only one day for elijah to turn the people back to acknowledge God through sacrifice Now it’s the time for Indonesia for breakthrough !!! What we learn about the Holy Spirit - Holy Spirit is the person He can communicate and have fellowship with us. - Holy Spirit has a presence Its not just enough to understand the principle of Gods love but you must enjoy it, feel it. We don’t just walk by feeling but faith and faith will produce feeling. The Holy Spirit is more like wind (you can feel His blowing), fire (you can feel His burning fire), oil (you can feel His flowing) and rain (you can feel His falling). He is like atmosphere. He can takes us into God’s zone. We must love the presence of the Holy Spirit, He is the most precious thing in our life. Ministry and service can make you dry, you need to DRAW NEAR to God, back to HIS PRESENCE. ...

Ministry with tongue

Pdt. Jacob N. Seminar, Thursday March 23rd 2006 Ministry with tongue Church is God’s tongue in the world. It is supposed to declare the glory of God to the world. The service in the chruch should be better that the service we find in the public area such as supermarket, bandk, etc. It the church is losing its kindness then don’t ask questions why people leaving from church. To receive Christ you pay nothing, but then there’s price you have to pay when you follow Him. Our ministry is part of our way on following Him. Don’t worry about your future because God’s promise that He will bless His people while they sleep. Sleep means the dead of all activities that means that your eyes, ears and mouth will out of use while you’re sleeping. So don’t worry if God can bless you while you do nothing all you need just come to Him first in time of need not to other human being. Church must be in unity Unity is the source of the blessing. Eph 4:1-6 As a...

*Crusade Benny Hinn 23-26 March 2006*

It’s a priviledge for me to be part of the ministry team at Benny Hinn crusade in Jakarta 23-26 march 2006.

The Power and The Presence of God

By Benny Hinn Saturday, March 25 th 2006 Act 1:8 But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem , in all of Judea and Samaria , and to the ends of the earth." This is the promise of God that we’ll receive the power just after the Holy Spirit comes. Joh 14:16-17 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, who will stay with you forever. He is the Spirit, who reveals the truth about God. The world cannot receive him, because it cannot see him or know him. But you know him, because he remains with you and is in you. The truth obout the Holy Spirit: - He is with us (before the salvation, He reveals the Lord to us) - He is in us (after the salvation) - His outhority is on us The Holy Spirit is talking about the presence of the Lord. The glory of God is talking abput the Lord’s attributes Then the glory of God explain th...

*DOMINION MANDATE FOR YOUR FAMILY*

Sunday, 5 March 2006 IFGF Gisi KA 1 Sarbini Ps. Jimmy Oentoro DOMINION MANDATE FOR YOUR FAMILY In the beginning, man was created after everything else. So everything was ready to use for Adam. Gen 2:18 Then the LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to live alone. I will make a suitable companion to help him." We learnt that God is the initiator to bring a helper for Adam, because God knew that Adam can't manage everything He has given alone * God knows the right timing for Adam to have a partner When God wants to display His dominion mandate in our life, He starts from family There are 3 restorations God mentioned in Maleachi 1.Restoration of the heart of Fathers and children Mal 4:6 He will bring fathers and children together again; otherwise I would have to come and destroy your country." 2.
