God is good

Maybe some of you are not in fire right now.
"I am weak right now"
"I feel so dumb!"
"Why I cannot be like her/him?"
"Why it happened to me?"
"Why I am feeling so bad mood lately?"
"Why I cannot find that joy and peace in mind?"
"Why I am sick?"
"I am fat and ugly!"
"I am not special at all"
"I am alone"
"I am feeling homesick!"
"everyone rejected me"
"I am so guilty!"
"I am scared"
"I am so busy and I dont have time to have devotion"
and....what else? you can put your complain words next!

people.... if you always complain all the time, you won't be move!
If you always talking and hearing about negative things with the wrong person or not with encouraging people, HOW you can step the next level?

guys...you are not alone, it also happened to me all the time. BUT, thats how the devil attacking you! The devil always wants to bring you down through feeling, people, and etc! The devil will never stop attack you from various ways and from your weakness! Maybe most of you also doing ministry, but why it still happened and sometimes it become worse? well... when you are in fire, thats the time where devils attack you! so guys...guard your heart by God's words, prayers and being with encouraging people and believers. Talk with the right person. Pray to God and ask Him for help!

remember guys..we are just a human..very weak human. This is the reason why we need God in our life.
Dont let the devils keep attacking you! but let God speak to you! Invite God in our life. Let you rebuke the devils by the name of God and by His grace. God is not a joke friend who always gives you joke words and leave you with no reason! He is a God, Father and BEST Friend! He is always there and always be with you no matter what!

Let you find that peace, love and joy through Jesus. When you pursue God first, He will send you great friends without you look for them. He will send you great social life (encouraging people and believers). Our God is so good and His love is more than words. He wont let His children fall.
Dont let people and everything around you bring you down! keep hang in and have great conversation with God.
-Give some of your time to God. have devotion, talk to Him and worship Him. Even though you are so busy, give your little time to God.
-Never feel you are ugly! no one ugly in this world! it's just your feeling!
-YOU ARE SO SPECIAL! Remember, God gives each of us amazing, gifted and unique talents!
-When you feel alone, never forget that God always there with you. You cannot see HIM, but you can always feel HIS PRESENCE! Ask God for friends and He will send you a great friends!
-Dont feel down when you are weak and when your friends leave you. God wont leave you! Speak to Him!
-Dont be scared. God always be with you.
-When you feel so guilty, talk to the Lord. dont listen what people say, but listen God's words. His words are always encouraging. He is a Father who loves His children more than words. You are being saved because of Jesus and He has saved you and love you. He gave His life to save you..

Maybe some of us are keep complaining about what happened these days.. but remember, dont let the devils bring you down! dont let jealously and negative thinking always surround you.
Let God renew our spirit daily.

"When everybody else is down and defeated, when you are all alone with nobody nearby to encourage you, simply encourage yourself! Your attitude should be: It doesnt matter what anybody else does or doesnt do, Im going to live my life with enthusiasm. Im going to stay ON FIRE. Im going to be aglow. Im going to be passionate about seeing my dreams come to pass." -Joel Osteen

"Friend, if you want to see God's favor, do everything with your whole heart...God will take you places you've never dreamed of and you will be having your best life now"- Joel Osteen

When there's storm in our life..Have faith and trust God!

As Christians, we believe in God and sometimes hardly trusting God. The question is...
-Are you really 100% trust God and His plans?
-Are you ready to go to the next level?
-Do you believe in Him?
-Have you invited Jesus in every situation?

If not, pray to God. Have deep conversation with Him. He never sleep and tired hearing your prayers. Trust Him and invite Him in any situation that you have. God knows more than yourself. Let God breath in your life.

Bible verse of the day: Psalm 23

God bless you :)
