Jesus, YHVH Saves! Jesus my refreshment!

Hi dearly beloved,

Sorry i've been inactive for quite awhile. The past few weeks i have been distracted by work and other things which pull my time away from the Lord in these wee hours of the night.

I've been feeling drained lately from being kept awake at night by my darling baby. It's alright you know. Part of being parents. My wife goes through the same thing and it's tougher for her 'cos she's the one actually feeding baby. Through it all, daily, physically i feel really tired. But i realised something happening in me. I started praying in tongues more frequently lately. It's amazing after those few minutes, I feel truly refreshed! He truly is my refreshing.

John 7
:37 And in the last day of the great feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
:38 He who believes on Me, as the Scripture has said, "Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."
:39 (But He spoke this about the Spirit, which they who believed on Him should receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Jesus spoke about this refreshment of the Holy Spirit. Those who listened to Him during that feast could not enjoy this drink. But now we can!

It amazes me that no matter how tired or moody or lethargic i feel, whenever i speak about Jesus to someone, i always feel so awake and alert during and after!

Jesus saved us from many things. He also saved us from our tiredness, lethargy and emotional down times.

Jesus is saying, "Use Me!" If all that He has done and gone through for us can't even give us our energy back in our daily lives, then i think we have not seen the revelation of His finished work and how complete it is.

Thank you my Yeshua! You have given me the best isotonic drink ever!

God bless one and all and have a blessed Sunday!

Emmanuel

Hi dearly beloved,

It HAS been awhile since i've posted anything. I'd just like to send a shout out there to all Brothers and Sisters who want to contact me, please email to 1flock1shepherd@gmail.com

Do continue putting up your comments, for whatever you say could be a Word of encouragement for somebody else out there.

Praise God for technology! The world indeed has become a smaller place and because of that His Word can be sent forth to all corners of the earth with great speed and reach.

For all those who need a Word today... Have a good opinion of God! That IS giving Glory to God! Give weight to what He says. He says you are the Righteousness of God in Christ, so you ARE! He says you are heirs of this world, so you ARE! He says we are more than conquerors, so we ARE! Amen!

We come together in this great universe called the World Wide Web, and as we come together, it is a time of Worship and Fellowship. We thank Him for the opportunity that He has created for us to come together to get connected and give each other encouragement.

Thank you all for visiting this humble space of mine. Leave words of wisdom, leave words of comfort, leave words of encouragement and most of all we come to celebrate His love for us.

Thank you Jesus! You are our magnificient Savior!

Shalom Brothers and Sisters.

We pray that the Lord will bless him more than abundantly and increase the reach of his ministry to the ends of the earth.

Do not compare sufferings as this gentleman said, but i tell you, it's such an inspiring story to see God's Grace working in and through his life.

To each has been called his purpose by GOD.

Jeremiah 29:11

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

He IS our Future, He IS our Hope.

Praise GOD, we Love you Jesus. Hallelujah!

In and Through ALL things we give Thanks.

Hi all,

It's been awhile since i've contributed anything. I've been busy with work. It's been an awesome blessing to be where i am. Being surrounded by God's people and being guided by their Godly counsel through my day to day activities. It is so awesome to experience God's hand in your life everyday!

Through our tough times of struggle and challenge, that's the time when the rubber meets the road. What do i believe in? Do i believe in a BIG Daddy God who shelters me under His mighty wings at all times? DO i believe that my blessings is dependant on my good works or how "hard" i've worked? Or is it fully from Him and we have already received ALL His blessings for us and what we do here on this earth is blessing in itself where we enjoy what we do EVERYDAY! My Daddy God has given me an awesome job where i enjoy what i do everyday!

Joy and enter His rest... As we rejoice His goodness, He our Rock of Salvation IS our Rest.

Rejoice, Rejoice, Rejoice! Then Worship Him in All His Glory!

BE still and know our GOD. As He was on the cross as us, now, we are as Him in our Father's eyes.

His Perfect Love for us, pierced as He hung on the cross for us. We now receive FREELY ALL His blessings.

How can we not rejoice? Amazing Grace.

Yeshua

Thank you Jesus. I love you, i thank you for all that you have done for me. You are in me now and now know i live a Victorious life!

Amen!

Desire Fulfilled is a Tree of Life...

Hi dearly beloved,

How often have we been told that to desire "things" is carnal? Desire itself being put in a physical/fleshly context can sound like a dirty word.

But truth to be told, God wants us to DESIRE good "things" for us all! That house that you like? Have the desire for it! That awesome German car that you want? Have a desire for it! We have all been blessed with all the spiritual blessings in heavenly places and also blessed with all good things for us on this earth.

Proverbs 13:12

12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.

First question that would unravel this mystery would be, what is the Tree of Life?

As we look back at the first mention of the Tree of Life in Genesis 2:9,

9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

We find that the Tree of Life is "In the Midst" of the Garden. That is truly interesting as we find out that Jesus likes to be "In the Midst" of things too!
There is only 3 times mentioned in the Bible of Jesus being "in the midst" and uniquely we find that whenever Jesus is "in the midst", Peace always follows!

Luke 24:36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

John 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

John 20:26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace, be unto you.

So, i would say, it is scriptural to desire all good things as this would bring Jesus into your midst and give you His Peace!

Should we then agree or doubt that our Father can really give us all these things that we desire?

Well i guess His promise is best and we have to hang on to it don't we? Let's take a look.

John 14:13
And whatever you may ask in My name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

John 14:14
If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

John 16:23
And in that day you shall ask Me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, Whatever you shall ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

John 16:24
Before now you have asked nothing in My name; ask and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Ask our Daddy God! Ask Him in Jesus name... It's easy!
Just receive freely what your heart desires anytime knowing that the Debt has been paid on the cross through our wonderful Saviour Jesus Christ!

Isn't our Heavenly Daddy great? So much He has already given and now He wants to give us some more!

Who's ready to be blessed some more? Who's ready for their storehouses to be filled with overflowing abundance? Who's ready for their tents to be enlarged? Who's ready for their youth to be renewed unceasingly? Health, Wholeness, Healing, Prosperity and all in all a Victorious Life!

I'm ready! Amen to that.

Are you?...

Be greatly blessed, left, right, center and all around you!

Your beloved brother,
Emmanuel.

Glimpse of Heaven...

A glimpse of Heaven is all it takes to know that the Kingdom is here and now too...

Many a times we wonder what it's like to be in Heaven with our Father. Look around you, what's your Daddy God saying to you? Is He saying loving words of encouragement? Is He comforting you and telling you not to worry? Is He telling you that everything's going to be ok?

Now when i look at my baby girl, my Daddy God is telling me all those things. He says, "Son, this IS Heaven... Look at your daughter. Do you love her? That's how I love you and so much more." And you know that He's got a BIG BIG smile behind what He just said to you.

"I've given my Son up for you. He was my Heart. As much as it hurts me to see my Heart pierced and staked right through and bled dry... It pleases me to see that I can have you with me in my Kingdom for all eternity."

Our Father gave His dearest best to us, for us... Aren't we blessed?

This love that no man can give, only our Father gives!

Lord, we love You, we worship You, we magnify You in our lives. We thank You for all that you have blessed us with and we thank for all the blessings that we have already received in providence.

Your blessed son,
Emmanuel

He has delivered us! FOREVER.

Hi dearly beloved,

How often have we asked God to deliver us from this struggle to that persecution and whatever else we have asked Him to deliver us from? I have. I'm sure you have too. Something powerful for us all to believe and practice is what Paul preached to the people in Colosse. Colosse was where the people there were primarily gnostics and had a defective view of Christ. The gnostics believed that all matter is evil. With that defective knowledge of God, it would be impossible to be set free from evil because we are still bound in this flesh that we are in for this life here on earth. Of course, for us, believers in God supreme and almighty, a God that created the Heavens and the earth and a God when He created said that all His creation is good!

With His goodness, mercy and His Son's redemptive work for us, we are assured of ourselves being delivered from all darkness which may seem to overshadow ourselves sometimes. This is what Paul said,

Colossians 1:12-13
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Do we think that this deliverance is forever or partial? Jesus' work was final. As He said, "It is finished!", we are delivered from the power of darkness forever. With this, we enter His kingdom. We are now heirs of Light and victorious Kings And Queens forever!

On top of being delivered from the power of darkness, we even have forgiveness of sins! Wow! A double whammy.

Colossians 1:14
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

But you know, sometimes our mind plays tricks on us. Our mind brings us back to remembrance our past sins, our past addictions, our past failed relationships, our past failures. How many of us are familiar with this? We do not have to worry then because Paul reminded us the following truth. Where at times we are alienated from God through the enemies in our minds by our previous wicked works, we are now reconciled through Jesus.

Colossians 1:21-22
21 And you, who were once alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled
22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish, and without charge in His sight,

With Jesus, our wicked works are now in His flesh which was put through death. Put through death on the Cross. Is not that not enough for us? For us to be delivered from all powers that once bound us, now we are set free! Forever! Now God sees us holy, without blemish, spotless and without any wrongdoing in His sight.

We praise you God Almighty, that You came for us through your Son, Jesus Christ, and delivered us forever from our iniquities. We pray Lord that we are kept in this knowing all the time.

Hallelujah & Amen.

Your beloved son,
Emmanuel.
