  Mind over Matter   Thoughts Transformation   It probably would not surprise if I said to you that the central figure of Christianity is Christ.   Yet too often he is shoved off his throne and replaced by most of us by self.   It unfortunately shows up in our teachings of self-help nature has failed to provide the answer to our needs.   We need more than mind self control and transformation.   We need somebody to be ever-present by our side, even better, someone within.   Meet Jesus! He is our human/God answer to all our needs. He is also our Lawyer if we want him to be.   He could stand between us and God and make the way to God a lot smoother.   So, you need more than new thoughts.   You need a whole new relationship with your Maker.   Living Word   Jesus is the Living Word.   You can have him right in you.   He is powerful enough to change you into a new being.   The Bible is not an ordinary book, it is more than paper and ink.   It is full of life because the H

  It is Free! What more do you need or want?   Life can be free for you if you choose to be free.  Right now, you are a slave to sin, you are paying dearly for the life you have and the wage in the Bible is called DEATH. “For the wages of sin is DEATH, but the GIFT of God is ETERNAL life through Christ Jesus our Lord.  (Romans 6:23).  Within the Eternal life is included the abundant life that Jesus is.  You and I don’t need anything else.  He will supply all our needs because he is the Good Shepherd.  The only reason we find ourselves lacking is when we quit believing or having faith in him.  When we quit trusting him.  When we quit putting him FIRST.  A Christian should never find himself or herself lacking and I don’t mean prosperity gospel.  When you put your faith in God first before your want.  You will not be lacking anymore and always content of what you have in your pantry.  There will always be enough to make another meal.  God will make you flexible with little.  That i

  From my heart to yours   All Christians struggle - even if we all have big smiles on our faces.   We just don’t want the world to see our sufferings.   But if you are a Christian doing the will of God you should suffer because the world does not know him who lives in you (John 14:17)   Furthermore, we all have our hang ups and we do not always feel 100% Okay all the time.   We are not robots and we do not try to be.   Even robots do not work perfectly, ask a computer technician.   Whoever you are and in whatever situation you find yourself in…Tell yourself this: “It is not the end of my world and things will work out as they always do.”   Inexhaustible hope   God’s kind of hope cannot be exhausted. If you have Jesus in, you there is hope.  It is only ‘unbelief’ that limits that hope from flourishing.   Foremost, love should be sought and practiced as it will last forever (1 Corinthians 13:8-10)   End of tunnel coming   For us born again Christians there is alw

  When Jesus says so…   Let us go… (Mark 4:35-41)   If you look at that day in the life of Jesus and his disciples, it was a day loaded with teaching from Jesus, mostly about faith and the word.  So, you would have thoughts that after the teachings on the seeds planted on different grounds and the mustard seed.  They would be full of faith and believe.  Let us look at this passage! At the end of the day, Jesus told them: “Let us go to the other side of the lake.  Picture this, they were probably as tired as you are when Jesus ask you to do something.  They went anyway and lo and behold, a storm shows up.  At that time in the story, you like to wonder about Jesus.  Do you wonder also when Jesus asks you to do something and then everything goes wrong, and you want to tell Jesus.: “I knew it or I told you so”.  On top of it all as apparently, they were sinking and almost dying, Jesus was sleeping.   Jesus sleeping…you are hurting   Something is humanly wrong here.  Jesus,
