THE TRUTH THAT SETS US FREE AND THE LIES THAT HURT US..

Article by: Krupa Rajendran

         We have been exposed to a lot of lies, many of which we have also accepted. Some of the lies are so elegantly disguised that it is nearly impossible to recognize them for the lies that they are: fabrications that have been spread, consciously and unconsciously, to mislead and perplex us.

     The frightening part is that some of these lies connect to our Christian faith and what we understand about leading lives that are centered on Christ. These are deceptions that the prince of deception instills in our minds to sow doubt and complications in our quest to live for God and carry out His purpose.

1 Peter 5:8,

Be alert and of a sober mind. Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

            What lies are you believing in your heart? The lies that keep you up at night and prevent you from living your life fully. In this new blog, I'll be examining lies that young women regularly hear and fall for, as well as the liberating truth.

        We'll talk about two lies in a post that harm many young women, including myself. Despite all evidence to the contrary, many of us have come to believe these lies to be genuine.

LIE NO. 1: WHEN I'M BAD, GOD DOESN'T LOVE ME.

              I was lying on my bed, trying to look out the window, but I couldn't see anything because of the thick droplets of tears that were pouring to an unheard rhythm down my face and onto my clothes.

There were no positive aspects in my chaotic life. I picked up poorly while thinking I could handle the attention. I made decisions that led me to believe that God could not possibly love me.

             It happened a few years ago. There was a time when I thought that God's love depended on my behavior and that I would lose it if my actions went against what He desired for His children.

Have you ever had the thought that your goodness will earn God's love?

LIE 2: IF GOD DOESN'T GIVE ME WHAT I NEED OR WANT, HOW COULD HE POSSIBLY LOVE ME?

                 What do you want the most? what you have prayed for days, weeks, months, years, or even decades. Maybe you've grown tired of the idea of a loving, caring, and generous God by this point. You have no idea as to why he continues to deny you the "one" you have been pleading for years.

   Perhaps, you define success as having a husband, kids, excellent health, or even financial security. You now believe that God has forgotten you and doesn’t love you since he haven’t given you that one thing.

         The devil has been telling such lies since the beginning of time. The serpent's remarks caused Eve to distrust God's character and choose to eat the forbidden apple.

What is the devil trying to tell you today? Is he advising you to marry anyone, and make your own decisions in your life without considering anyone, or is he encouraging you to get pregnant as an unmarried woman?

      Knowing the truth and holding on to it is a strong approach to facing the devil's lies, for it is the truth that will set us free.

THE TRUTH IS THAT GOD'S LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL; THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS, TIME LIMITS, OR TAKEBACKS.

       God's love is limitless. It cannot be quantified or appreciated. His love is beyond time and place, and nothing, absolutely nothing, can separate us from God's love.

     He loved us even before we knew he existed. He was thinking about us and wanted every one of us to understand everything he had prepared for us.

The Bible teaches us the following:

Romans 5:8

“God demonstrates his love for us in this While we were still sinners Christ died for us.”

Romans 8: 37-39

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

1 John 4:18-19

“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us.”

ANOTHER TRUTH IS THAT GOD LOVES US TOO MUCH TO GIVE US EVERYTHING WE WANT WHEN WE WANT IT.

         Consider your life and some of the things you desired and obtained, as well as those you did not receive. Even if things don't go as planned, you can discover that you are still fine. This is because God understands us better than we know ourselves. He is the only one who knows the end from the beginning and lives outside of time.

     

  He wants us to lean on the reality of his word, which reminds us that he loves his children and is always willing to provide for them if they trust him and are being patient:

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Lamentations 3:25-26

The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;

it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.

      I hope these words have encouraged you, and that when the lies come calling, you will remember the reality of God's word.

GOD'S WILL for US..!

             God's WILL for us!

Article by: Christopher

             Today, we will ponder on the most significant and recognizable figure in the Bible, John the Baptist. He was portrayed many years ago by the prophet Isiah as the "voice of one crying in the wilderness, that prepares the way for the Lord and makes his paths straight." He was born in this world to fulfill the prophecy and serve a purpose. John understands that his mission is to prepare the way for God by baptizing those who confess their sins and preaching about the almighty. In the book of Matthew, we can see that he is preaching repentance to the people of Jerusalem and all of Judaea.

     In the bible, Jeremiah 29:11 says

   For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.   

        

                A brief description of the birth of John can be found in the chapter of Luke. According to the Bible, John is a messenger of God, and his birth, life, and purpose are all predetermined by the Almighty. He was born to pave the way for the Lord of God, and the most astonishing thing about him is that he sacrificed and resigned himself to the almighty by remaining a sacred and holy person so that he could complete the role that the almighty god gave to him.

 

               When I initially started studying John,

 I admired one thing: he was a person who was born with a purpose and was aware of his place in the world.

 

              He focused solely on his mission and position in this world after discovering them. Of course, John is an ordinary individual, and he has plenty of obstacles and challenges in his life, but he doesn't care, and despite all of his difficulties and hardships, he accomplished the goal that the Almighty had given him. Similarly, everyone who read this article had a distinct purpose on this globe that our Lord provided to us; some individuals had discovered their purposes in life but were not attempting to fulfill them due to laziness and slight impediments.

                                         Don't procrastinate anymore, 

              Try to find out as soon as possible and start working on...

                                         Stay blessed...! keep reading.

WAIT..!! THE THINGS WILL WORK OUT SOON..!

    BLESSINGS AND WARM GREETINGS TO OUR DEAR BELOVED READERS...

 We are so glad to meet you through this blog. Now let us get into the topic.
              Wait ! the things will work out soon..!

There is a time for Everything

 Ecclesiastes 3;1 says in The Bible, there is a time for everything under the heaven. Ecclesiastes speaks of various times in this chapter. likewise There is a time for everything in our lives too. We grew up (Infant -adult-Elder)  Adolescence is a time for everyone to grow. Similarly There are different seasons to ( Winter-spring-summer-autumn). There is time to work and a time to test, but we expect things that should happen so soon in our lives. so we prepare ourselves in advance but God has a plan for us.

  A wonderful verse in which Bible says 
" Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Because God will have a plans and purpose for us in order to flourish. But the plans will bloom only when the time arrives, until our duty is to wait patiently, we never do so.

  Here I would like to give you an example,

                    We all know the Mighty bird Eagle which flutters or pluck his feathers and hide inside the mountain after getting the new feathers eagle used to fly high and exhibit his Majestic look. The wings have been shown solely to give a sense of proportion. The lord is Almighty he will have a great plan and vision for us to look over by him, It might be worldly but god's plan is totally different what we dream for.

     I want to encourage you by telling you the change of events that happened in the Bible.

 

Wait ! water will turns into a grape juice

                 In New testament times , Mary the Mother of Jesus, and Jesus were invited into a wedding. Where the wine ran out, Jesus's mother said to him. "They have no wine".

    John 2;4 says " Dear woman, why do you involve me?"Jesus replied, "My time has not yet come". 

 Even the lord Jesus Christ also waited for the work until the time arrives, when the time arrived he turned the water into grape juice. Just like that in our lives normal things become extraordinary while we wait patiently , definitely It brings us a great blessings into our lives. If we don't wait for the perfect time we can't blame him for not receiving great blessings to take place.

  But the almighty is expect only one thing from us that is none other than patience, stability & stubbornness on him and his plans for us.

  If we wait.! we will get things which denied for others 

              Acts 1:4 says " Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift My father promised, which you have heard me speak about".

     They did not leave Jerusalem as the lord Jesus Christ had told them, But they waited for the promise to be fulfilled. 

The time has come, finally the day has arrived, the day of Pentecost came. 
In Acts 2;1-4 
which talks about the happenings at Pentecost, how the Holy spirit engulfs everyone there. waiting will always bear us a fruit of triumph.

     Especially   In Verse 4 "All of them were filled with the holy spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the spirit enabled them.

so the verse which exhibits the gift of waiting in the hands of The Lord. Thus, while they waited they received the anointing of the holy spirit. which was not available for Many. But it is not the God's will that his plan to be bless more than in number. we are not ready to wait for him. But if we do so he will do & make things possible in our lives.

    Dear Brothers and sisters in Christ we are all grateful for the grace and given us a wonderful opportunity to reach you & tell you a few things about benefits of waiting, patience through this blog.we will meet you soon with another exciting blog .. 

Until then Be patient , Be still in the lord Jesus Christ.....
                     Stay Blessed....!
                     Keep Reading....!

        Never Lose Your Hope,
     Have  Patience Till The Time Arrives..
  Until Let's Wait..! The Things Will Work Out Soon....!
 

DON'T BE AFRAID, HE IS WITH US...

 

Article by: Christina

         We want to take a moment to extend our gratitude and warm greetings to you all. In this pandemic outbreak we all are witnessing the sorrows,scarcity of basic needs,financial crisis, shattering loses frequently.Still we are having the different phobias,never worry about happenings around you, just take a breathe tell to your heart that,"Don't be afraid, he(Lord) is with us"... Jesus who is giving comfort to all the distressed people, so never worry about the past,steadfast on him; he will do the Rest.

Comforter

   The contemporary world, the current scenario has the prevailing crisis in all the forms, many of us are in the needy state but we can't help everybody.we are surviving the situation that nobody can help us expect the lord .but we have one solution for all the problems that is none other than the lord Jesus so what we need to do is tell & ask everything in the name of lord .

    In Bible  Ruth 2:13 says

        Naomi,Ruth got the grace and comfort from the eyes of the lord, as like that when we put forth the distress,burdens in the hands of Jesus. further he will carry forward. Our duty is to trust the lord and follow his steps then he will do the rest. Because only he can give comfort to the wounded souls.

Saviour

    We all might have come across the way which is sometimes filled with full of thorns and stones in order to stumble our steps but there comes our saviour who guards our steps before we fell down. 

   In bible Ruth 3:10,11 Says

  When Ruth and Naomi were abandoned in the place where they both lost their husbands and Naomi lost his beloved son too. Where nobody is to take care off. Even though they both united and have faith in the lord and the lord hears their trembled voice he replied in a way that" Don't be afraid, I Will do for you all you ask". They got the grace in the eyes of Boaz sometimes God will send these kind of persons into the lives of weary people on behalf of him. He is the saviour for all believers,all around the world . 

Succour

 The Lord he is the only succour for all the needy. He knows everything our (wants, desires)and so on. Our responsibility is to open up and pour everything in him.

   In Bible Esther 7:9,10 Says

Mordecai  who suffers a lot in the hands of Haman. Despite he strongly believes in God in his harmful days. There the Lord lend his hands in order to lift his hands. God rescued him from the danger. All the chaotic situations,remember we have to be brave enough to face those consequences because the lord is bigger than the giants we face..

     Only he can Prevent, Protect, Rescue us from the misconceptions why because he is our Comforter, Saviour, Succour for all the time.

  so finally, I conclude with this note 

All chaos== Only/One solution==The Lord Jesus......

SURRENDER YOURSELF

Article by : Anitha

Blessed and Wonderful people.!

Hope you all are doing good in this pandemic situation.

Are you afraid of the happenings around you? Don't be afraid. I have a good news to all of u, that is Our God is Mightier than the situations we face.

     Our GOD is MIGHTY, OMNIPRESENT, OMNISCIENT. HE FIGHTS THE BATTLES FOR US.

  In BIBLE,

          I Corinthians 6:20" ...honor God and bring glorify him with your spirit and body".

  So you can start the glorification of  God by Surrendering your flesh, thoughts and life to him.

Surrender your Eyes

         Matthew 6:22 says " The Eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your Eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light."

              Satan uses our Eyes to see the unwanted videos, unwanted things to spoil our life. It may leads us into the world of Darkness. So Beware about what we are watching, for the better guidance see the light that will show us a right path and Go ahead..!

Surrender your Hands

    Job 17:9 says "... and he who has clean hands grows stronger and stronger."      We should have the caliber to face all the circumstances that may be either personal or worldly affairs. Often Sanitize our hands with the blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ) only  that can safeguard our hands from indulging in sin. If our hands are unstained means we can be efficacious and steadfast in the will of God.

Surrender your Tongue

                                         

          Proverbs 18:21 says" The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

       Each and Every word that comes from our mouth has a life in it. It has the authority and power in it. Words have the ability to create and destroy. seemingly the words can change our life too. So Use the words wisely.

Surrender your Legs

   II Corinthians 5:7 Says " for we walk by faith, not by sight.."

         Follow the footprint of the God and have faith in him. Definitely he will show us the right path where we will be safe & our feet will not be stumble. Moreover we will not be  distracted from his will. 

Surrender your Heart

            Proverbs 4:23 says " keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life".

              The Almighty God wants to stay in our heart in order to make our life beautiful. He doesn't like sins. Actually, He is the epitome of Holiness and he wants us to be holy as like him. so keeping our hearts clean shall create the residence for God in our heart. Then our life will be Enclosed with the abundance of blessing.

      

       The SECOND COMING of Our Lord JESUS is SOON... So Let's all prepare for the ARRIVAL...

   

IMPOSSIBLE THINGS ARE POSSIBLE..!!!

 

   Article by : Ezrapaul   

              My Beloved Brothers and Sisters. I hope you all are doing good. In our life we are trying to accomplish many thing. But it seems impossible. We often expects to happen everything according to our wish, But it does not happen so. In that situation we face depression and tension. we may also face disappointment and consequences in our life. And we worry why such things are impossible in our life.There is a solution for such problems. In Bible there is a verse regarding that solution.  

                             (Mark 10:2 KJV) 

        And Jesus looking upon them said, with men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

  YES, My Dear beloved brothers and sisters in our life not everything is possible by us. Our Lord Jesus Christ says that everything is possible by him. In our life if we need everything to be possible? then in this situation we need the help of the Lord Jesus Christ. Because he is the Almighty God and he is the creator of the Universe. So he can do everything in our life. He will make all things possible in our life for sure. In this current situation we are facing COVID 19 worldwide. The doctors are trying to prepare the vaccine but they could not do it. By the men it is impossible but for the Lord it is possible. If  the Lord says a word on COVID 19 virus to go away from our nation it will go off. So it is evident that the impossible things are possible by God. Another verse in Bible regarding this is 

           ( Luke 18: 27 KJV) 

   And he said the things which are impossible with men are possible with God , Impossible things are going to be possible in our life through the Lord Jesus Christ.

                   There are three facts to follow

                              1. Call unto the Lord

                              2. Faith upon the Lord

                              3. Abide upon the Lord

1. Call unto the Lord

           Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew the greet and mighty things, which thou knowst not. ( Jeremiah 33:3)

         In Bible the prophet Jeremiah prophecy the word of God. The Lord says call unto me . we want to pray unto the lord so that the lord will answer our prayers and make things possible. In our life we may face trials and temptation. In that situation we want to call unto him so that the lord show us great and Almighty things which we doesn't know. And from that is evident that the lord will make everything possible in our life. The impossible things in our life will be possible through the Power of God. In Bible there is another verse regarding this 

         ( Psalm 91: 15 KJV)

        he shall call upon me and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honour him.

       The King David says the word of God when we call upon him he will deliver us and honour us from the situation what we are facing right now and makes the things possible. God expects us to call him so that he is able to help us from our own situation and take away the troubles.

2. Faith upon the Lord

               

     Jesus said unto them, Because of  your belief, For verify I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall  say unto this mountain remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove;and nothing shall be impossible unto you. (Matthew 17: 20)

         The Lord Jesus Christ telling this words to his disciples to deliver the people those who were possessed by devil. one man bring his son that he was possessed with devil and that man said some times devil fallen him into fire and water. Jesus Christ's disciples did not have faith to deliver him. so that they are unable to deliver him from the possession of devil.

     The Lord Jesus Christ say's that " If you have faith upon him as a grain of mustard seed surely everything is possible". yes my dear beloved brothers and sisters we need faith upon the Lord Jesus Christ that he will make everything possible in our life. he will do it for us. In our life we may think that this particular things are Impossible.Which is possible for lord. In Bible there is a verse regarding

        ( Mark 9 : 23 KJV)

     Jesus said unto him, if thou canst believe, all the things are possible to him that believeth,

            In Bible Jesus tells us just believe him and have faith upon him surely he will make all things   possible in our life. In our life we believe our friends, relatives and our neighbourhoods for the things to make it possible. But at times they can't help us. In that situation only the lord can help when we have faith upon him. He will make everything possible in our life.

3. Abide unto the Lord

                                                                                                                                                                           If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you. ( John 15:7 )

       

The  Lord Jesus Christ says that we want to abide unto him. In our  life  we may abide in worldly things but the Lord wants us to abide to his words are in the bible.when we abide upon the lord he will makes everything  possible in our life. Abide upon the Lord.

                                                                                                                                              Summation 

         Everything seems possible for man, but nothing is impossible for the Lord. The Lord can do everything in our life only when we abide in himself.

 

                  

           

SUBMIT YOUR HEART IN THE HANDS OF GOD

         

Article by :

        Jonathan Nandhu

   We Immensely  welcome you all our beloved reader friends and let you know we appreciate you all for spending your valuable time here at the blog. we are sending lots of gratitude from Elshadaiipa Blogspot team. we know everyone is busy, running behind the toes and life moves pretty fast amidst of the covid-19 pandemic period. so we really do appreciate you all taking time out of your busy schedule you spare a time to check out our blog. 

          Today we are going to ponder a topic a topic through our blog is " surrender your heart to the lord" then what are all the possibilities to overcome the obstacles? how we can safeguard our hearts from evil,  while we are turning our heart towards a holy life. so let's see the solution for it with the reference to bible verse.

              In Bible Proverb 23:26,

        My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. 

  We may all have our own perceptions on reading the verse that is above mentioned. Actually, He(Jesus) is the saviour who will take care of us . while we're in needy conditions. He never refuses anybody definitely he won't do so Either he wants everyone to get purified and wants to lead a holy/spiritual life.  you belong to god- Hebrews 3:5

    Being good and doing good this is what he ( Jesus) wants from us. So, for that purpose we all should render our heart to the almighty. Then he'll do the rest. But According to the contemporary world is filled with lot many things. which gives the ultimate result as futile. The youngsters are not at all ready to obey and submit their heart to the god, instead they're indulging in the unwanted things which are affiliated with worldly affairs. Now let's comeback to the verse which gives insight over our life. There are three major ways to follow, they are:

              * Remove the unwanted mindset 

              * Protect your heart

              * Prepare your heart

Remove the unwanted mindset:

                       In Bible Psalm 66:18 says that most of our prayers are left unanswered due to the effect of our sins, and the mistakes we're committing that is the root cause for the refusal from the god. Until you confess towards the Jesus for the mistakes you have done so far. Only when you confess then the lord will reconsider and revive yourself from your mistakes. Then the reconciliation paves a way towards destroying the darkness and deliberately uplifts the power of lightening. so Follow the light or Be the light that guides you. Afterwards you will receive answers along with the solutions in the appropriate time.

      Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding.( Proverb 3:5)

Protect your heart: 

                 In this with reference to Proverb 4:23 it details about how to protect your heart?

 ( keep thy heart with all diligence; for out  of it are the issues of life)

           we may all have our own opinions on doing things we may take actions but the victory only comes from the Jesus. so, do not intrude on the worldly things either have faith in the saviour who is safeguarding us from all the suffocating situations of the worldly pressures, for sure he will know the way for you & he will have the plans to prosper you in the name of you for all these things will happen only when we are ready to admit yourself to the lord. Then he will direct you in path where you belong to, which is allocated only for you by the will of god, these are all the ways to turning our hearts into the god.

       But you, lord are a shield around you. ( Psalm 3 :2 )

Prepare your heart:

            In Bible verse Ezra 7:10 It whispers about the preparation of our heart for the lord. In order to prepare your heart for Christ you have to be prepared like Ezra who had prepared his heart to seek the law of lord to do it and to teach things in Israel statutes and judgements as like him we all have to be prepared for rendering our hearts. Not to deviate or distract on the worldly affairs. 

         

         She who kneels before god can stand before anyone.( Romans 8: 59)

    

 with this I want to conclude if you are able to create a lit bit of sacred space for him the lord, Everyday god will meet you there. Gratitude is the common thread between all the religious beliefs. It connects people with the past and simultaneously paves the way for the better future.
