Thank you 100 followers!

May this page be useful to encourage you to know Jesus Christ even more by reading the Holy Bible...

1 Corinthians 15:3-4
3 I passed on to you what I received which is of the greatest importance: that Christ died for our sins as written in the Scriptures. 4 that He was buried and that he was raised to life 3 days later, as written in the Scriptures;

2 Timothy 3:16-17
16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

"5 Things Successful People Do Before 8AM"
-a YouTube video I bumped into by Terri Savelle Foy
​
​
1. Pray and listen to GOD.
​
2. Read the Bible.
​
3. Journal - a life worth living is a life worth recording.
​
->GOD's message,
->wisdom from Him,
->your life, goals, and dreams.
​
4. Keep the right company.
(listen to faith-based audio
like that of Pastor Peter/Bong/Ricky of CCF)
​
5. Exercise.
​
​
And that's the way I want it!
​
If it's not the way you want it, don't say it.
​
Highest adoration and glory to GOD alone for
her life, drawing people to Jesus Christ!
​
Our habits can indeed,
have a great impact
in our future.
​
Reminds me of Joshua 1:8-9
​
Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips;
meditate on it day and night, so that you may
be careful to do everything written in it.
Then you will be prosperous and successful.
​
Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid;
do not be discouraged,
for the Lord your God
will be with you
wherever you go.”
​


​
P.S.
If you're still breathing,
it's never too late
to begin again. :)

Oh 𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐃, our Lord, 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 is seen in all the world!

What are human beings, that You think of us;
mere mortals, that you care for us?

Yet You made us inferior only to Yourself,
you crowned us with glory and honor.

-Excerpts from Psalms 8:1-5

The Holy Spirit will give us the desire to pray and read the Word.

But it is ultimately us who will decide whether to do it or not.

When you don't feel like getting up to pray,

GET UP and PRAY.

When you don't feel like reading the Word,

DO IT ANYWAY.

We choose how we live our everyday lives.

Discipline is saying "Yes" to the Holy Spirit and
saying "No" to the voice of the flesh.

You want to pray more?

CHOOSE TO PRAY MORE.

You want to read the Word consistently?

CHOOSE TO READ IT CONSISTENTLY.

We don't live by feelings.

We live by FAITH!

P.S.
These are my takeaways from
Pastor David Diga Hernandez
Praise Jesus for your life!

You know why
a lot of people sin?

Because sin is pleasurable!

The only way to overcome sin
is to love GOD more than pleasure.

For us to love GOD, we need to experience
Jesus Christ in our hearts.

Why?

Because only Jesus Christ

Can Change Our Hearts

If you get to read this,

God must be looking for you.

Not to punish you, but to strengthen you.

In one condition:

Commit your heart fully to Him.

2 Chronicles 16:9
The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.

P. S.
May you put your confidence in GOD.

You are loved!

"You don't need prayers!"
​
My husband's words cut deeper
than any physical pain I'd ever known.
​
Imagine this:
👉2020, a pregnancy with no baby
👉 a doctor preparing me for a heartbreaking procedure
👉 I was in agony, physically and emotionally.
​
All I wanted was my husband's prayers and his spiritual strength.
​
Instead, he dismissed my faith, the very thing that sustained me.
​
Every family faces storms.

👉Sickness
👉Money troubles
👉The sting of failure
👉Relationship struggles...
​
These hardships test us. ​
​
That fear and pain can gnaw at our souls.
​
My story may be unique, but that subtle breaking of hope...
​
It's happening in homes everywhere. ​
​
It's the unspoken disappointments.
​
The times we fail to be a refuge for each other.
​
This is what weakens the foundation of a family.
​
Through my pain, although my husband was there, I felt alone
in that hospital room. But I found solace in fixing my eyes on
Jesus. Not easy answers, but the strength I didn't know I had.
​
Despite the darkness, here's the truth: ​
​
God sees us through. ​
​
Prayer does matter and it is powerful.
​
See, what makes prayer powerful? Not the prayer itself.
​
But the GOD who is full of grace and mercy
listening to our heart's sincere yearning.
​
Today, my family isn't perfect.
​
But hope in God is what carried us through.
​
Prayer became our bridge in difficult moments.
​
The reminder that we were never truly alone.
​
To the family struggling: ​ There is Hope
​
If your family is hurting, if fear feels overwhelming,
remember this: there's a God who longs to bring healing. ​
​
Turn to Him in prayer, even when it feels impossible.
​
His strength will become your own.
​
P.S.
Happy to share that my husband has
changed into a man of prayer by God's grace! :)

Jesus Christ was tempted.

This was mentioned in Matthew 4.

Jesus used the Scripture to overcome the temptation.

BUT, so did the enemy.

The enemy used the Scripture
to tempt Jesus in the same chapter.

Point is...

Not everyone who knows the WORD
has a relationship with GOD.

But NEVER will it happen for those
who have a true relationship with GOD
not to spend time meditating in His WORD.
