Those are the enemies' lies

I went to "Father Heart of God" retreat for the previous weekend. It was awesome!!!

I met many new, encouraging friends there. And I got to know them better and just witnessed how God has changed their lives. That is so amazing!

People with pain, with hurts..... Our heavenly Father heal them all!
If there were no pain, how would they ever know God?

The satan always try to find his way to deceive us, to lead us away from God. He makes us blame God and creates so many disillision of our view of God. You know why he do so? Do you know why satan even bother to destroy our lives? It only proves one thing: he is afraid of God too! Because he knows how powerful God is and how strong His kingdom can be when every Christians stand up for the truth.
That's why he tries to use human being's weakness to destroy our faith in God and to lead us away from our Father. He created all sorts of lies... All kinds of them... To make us turn away from the truth!

I am speaking to non-Christian as well as Christian:
Do not be deceived by the enemies' lies....
God love you not because He created you, not because of your good works,
He loves you because you are very very precious to Him, just like His sons and daughters.
He held us very carefully and lovingly in His palm.

(this is not the way i intended to write this post. but whatever, this is so good that i need to share with you)

Don't ever think that I am perfect. Because I am not.
Don't think that church is only for perfect, holy people and you are not qualified to be in a church because you lead a broken life.

Hey!
Don't accuse church as a place full of lost souls and people with emotional breakdown!

Don't you know that that's the whole point of church and God?
That's why we need God.
Because only He can mend our broken hearts, only He alone can give us joy.

And so, becoming a Christian doesn't instantly make you a perfect person too. It does not mean that you will never sin again.
Of course you still make mistakes because that's our sinful nature.
and that's where our weakness are that satan can use to deceive us.

When we start to follow Jesus, that's where the spiritual warfare come in.
Satan will create lies to make you doubt God and turn away form our Creator. He made us stop praying, stop going to church, and shut all the doors that God can use to communicate with us.

At this time, brothers and sisters, you have to stand firm for God. Remember our Lord. Remember how much He loves us and how much He wants to bless our lives. Keep hold unto Him.
"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus"
--Thessalonians 5:16-18--

Continue to pray and let God do miracles in your life.
Do you know that this is exactly when God is going to make great impact on your life? This is the time God will make you a witness of His mighty power!!

Don't lose faith!
God is there with you. Always.
He knows your needs and He will lay out His ways for you....

You will never know how He is going to answer your prayer.
He can use whoever He wants, whenever you are, wherever you are.
Sometimes, it just doesn't make sense at all!

That's why I love Him! I love all the little surprises He give me in life XD

Love this quote from a friend:
"why must we be afraid? if we know we are walking on the right path?"


God bless you =)
