A Heart like Jesus...

How's Christmas for all? Boxing Day was over, I am sure you are blessed with heaps of Gifts with the Lord's Blessing...As for me, I happened to be unwell on the eve of Christmas till now. I dragged myself up for an early service at the Indoor Stadium for the Christmas Celebration as I expect the presence of God to open up the flood gates of blessing & Healing...

Pastor Prince led us into healing rally & when I prayed in Spirit, I felt 'the spin' & 'warmth' of Holy Spirit embracing me, healing me. I did not receive immediate healing but within a day with High Fever, Flu, Throat Infection & more, the progressive healing came a few hours ago, & I give the Glory to our Lord Jesus as He loves us beyond our understanding...

Still have piles of workload to clear & here I am, to share as when I opened my diary, a bookmark imprinted read, "But Seek first His Kingdom & His Righteousness, and ALL these things will be given to you as well." Matt 6:33 Amen?! His favors & Wisdom always lead us to 12 baskets FULL...not LACK...

God doesn't love us and leave us alone; He loves us enough to live wihin us, making our hearts like His home. Jesus wants us to have a heart like His..."Let this same attitude & purpose & [Humble] mind be in you, which was in Christ Jesus; [Let Him be your example of humility] " Phil 2: 5 Amplified Bible

God wants us to be just like Jesus. He wants us to have a heart like His. God loves us the way we are. If we think His love for us would be stronger if our faith were, you are wrong. If you think His love would be deeper if your thoughts were, wrong again! The love for people often increases with performance & decrease with mistakes. Not so with God's love He loves you where you are. God loves you just the way you are and He will turn the worst to be the best, that's how much our Abba in Heaven loves us...

Our God is a good God, what is new Godwyn? The Sunday service led me back to flash backs of incidents, just 2 years back, I back-slided to the extreme end of worshipping idols for my deteriorating health. Cut the story short, the Lord led me back to Church where I thought I can RIP forever, since I believe in the Lord when I was at very young age...

Pastor Lawrence kept sharing the essence of Holy Communion, communion to me was just a piece of bread & Ribena. In my mind, I was thinking, since I drank so much 'Holy' water from all idols, so Just do it! Weeks after weeks, the words that echoed in my mind is "Godwyn, Jesus Loves You." from Pastor Lawrence. I could not accept the fact that Jesus STILL loves me as instead of worshipping the Lord, I went to the idols! The breakthrough came when I receive the Grace message & I stop condemning myself! Healing came with cheetah speed, all I can say is amazing grace! How sweet that Sound! That saved a wretch like me...How precious did that grace appear, the hour I first Believed...

Okay Back to Jesus: Our hearts seem so far from Jesus. He is pure; we are greedy. He is peaceful; we are hassled. He is purposeful; we are distracted. He is pleasant; we are cranky. He is spiritual; we are earthbound. The distance between our heart & His seems so immese how can we ever hope to have the heart of Jesus?

You already do! If you are in Christ, you already have the heart of Christ. One of the supreme yet unrealized promises of God is simply this: if you have given your life to Jesus, Jesus has given Himself to you. Says who? The Bible, "I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to & reliance on & complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me & gave Himself up for me." Gal 2:20 amplified Bible... AMEN?!

More good news? "Therefore, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictate of the flesh, but after the dictate of the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin & death." Romans 8:1-2 Amplified Bible...Does it means the verse from above, we can sin & account for no condemnation?

Stop! Think for awhile...Knowing our Lord who loves us so much, would you want to sin? Yet, do not draw yourself to be away from God when you sin as such is a deception of the Devil, drifting you away from Jesus from your quilty conscience. If we are to do such, it will put us back with the first Adam, Jesus Christ died for us in vain...

Jesus came to save humanity from its sin, "For the Son of Man came to seek & to save that which was lost." [Luke 19:10 Amplified Bible] Won't it be Ironic for God to save us & condemn us? Let us "fix our eyes on Jesus, the author & perfecter of faith, for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, & has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God"... Heb: 12:2 [NASB]
