Chelsea fans SLAM 'useless' Pedro... then brand him 'amazing' after worldie!

Blues supporters were united in agreement that the former Barcelona forward should be hauled off until he brought them level against Tottenham ADTECH GmbH (Master default) Pedro's wondergoal against Tottenham on Saturday had Chelsea fans raving on Twitter as they headed in level at half-time. But it had been an extremely different story before he brought the Blues back on to equal footing after Christian Eriksen's equally-stunning opener!

Is there something I should know?

Matthew 14:23-27
During a concert, singer-songwriter David Wilcox responded to a question from the audience about how he composes songs. He said there are three aspects to his process: a quiet room, an empty page, and the question, “Is there
something I should know?” It struck me as a wonderful approach for followers of Jesus as we seek the Lord’s plan for our lives each day.
Throughout Jesus’s public ministry, He took time to be
alone in prayer. After feeding 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish, He sent His disciples to cross the Sea of Galilee by boat while He dismissed the crowd (Matt. 14:22). “After [Jesus] had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.
Later that night, he was there alone” (v. 23).

If the Lord Jesus saw the need to be alone with His Father, how much more do we need a daily time of solitude to pour out our hearts to God, ponder His Word, and prepare to follow His directions. A quiet room — anywhere we can focus on the Lord without distractions.
An empty page—a receptive mind, A blank sheet of paper, a willingness to listen. Is there something I should know?
From that quiet hillside, Jesus descended into a violent
storm, knowing exactly what His Father wanted Him to
do (vv. 24–27).
*Taking time to be with God is the best place to find strength*
Prayer : “Lord, speak to me by Your Spirit, Your written Word, and the assurance of Your direction."

Leaving the Past Behind

Leaving the Past Behind
Tuesday June 28, 2016
Read: 2 Corinthians 5:12-21

What Jesus does for the soul is a transformation —He takes us as we are and transforms us. The Bible says, “Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” (2 Cor. 5:17 nlt). Before knowing Christ, we follow our desires wherever they lead us, and our lifestyles reflect this. When we repent and begin to walk with Christ, the passions and pitfalls that once dominated our lives are the “old life” (1 Cor. 6:9-11) that fade away as we are transformed. “All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ” (2 Cor. 5:18).

Still, life as a “new person” isn’t always easy. It can take time to disconnect from old habits. We may struggle with ideas that were foundational to our old way of life. Yet over time, God’s Holy Spirit works in us, giving us inner strength and an understanding of Christ’s love. As God’s beautiful new creations, we’re free to leave the past behind. —Jennifer Benson Schuldt

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. (Isaiah  43:18)
God does not want us to be stuck in the past.

Prayer : Jesus, thank You for the power of Your death and resurrection. Your victory over sin means that I can be forgiven and can enjoy a new life in You. Amen

To enjoy the future, accept God’s forgiveness for the past.

Romans  12:2 ...but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind...

Him, and with the stripes that wounded Him, I am healed
and made whole. I now have perfect health in my body.
(Isa. 53:4-5 ; 1 Peter 2:24 )

3) The will of God is done on earth as it is done in heaven.

righteousness and with my mouth confession is made
unto healing and health. (Rom 10:9 , 10; Mark 5:23 ; Acts
14:9 )

13) My health springs forth and the glory of the Lord is
revealed in me. The Lord brings me health and cure, and
reveals unto me the abundance of peace and truth. ( Isa.
58:8 ; John 17:22 ; Jer. 33:6 )

sow words of health and healing every day and daily reap
health in my physical body. (Gal. 6:8-9 )

principalities and powers, and they no longer have any

them and over all their works of sickness and disease.

Four facts you need to know

4 Facts
Here are Four FACTS you need to know personally
In reality, a fact is something that has really
occurred or is truly the case. The usual test for a
statement of fact is authenticity, that is, whether it
can be demonstrated to correspond to experience.
I need you to know four facts that I have discovered
and have made sense to a lot of people.

FACT 1
God Loves YOU!

The Bible says, “God so loved the world that He
gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in
Him shall not perish, but have eternal life”

But the problem is that…

FACT 2
All of us have done, said or thought things that
are WRONG. This is called SIN , and our sins
have SEPARATED us from God.
The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God.” God is perfect and holy, and our sins
separate us from Him forever. The Bible says “The
wages of sin is death.” Death here means spiritual
separation from God!

The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago…

FACT 3
God sent His ONLY SON, Jesus Christ, to die
for OUR SINS.
Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life, (the
perfect Man) and then died on the cross to pay the
penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own
love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ
died for us.”
Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in
heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of
eternal life — of living forever with Him in heaven if
we accept Him as our Lord and Saviour. Jesus
said “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one
comes to the Father except by Me.”
God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be
His child. “As many as received Him, to them He
gave the right to become children of God, even to
those who believe on His name.” You can choose to
ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to
your life as your Lord and Saviour.

It is not enough to know these three facts…

FACT 4
We MUST each receive Jesus as SAVIOUR and
LORD in order to experience His LOVE and
FORGIVENESS for our sins.
You would want to ACCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR
SAVIOUR to save you from your sins; you can ask Him
to be your Lord and Saviour by praying a prayer
like this:
“Lord Jesus, I admit that I have been running my
own life and have sinned against you. Come into
my life and forgive my sins, take control of my life
and make me a new person. Thank you for
answering my prayer. Amen!
Does this prayer express the desire of your heart? If
so, pray right now, the Lord will come into your
heart just as He has promised in Revelations 3:20.
Remember it is not the amount of words that will
save you but the sincerity of your heart in believing
in Jesus Christ.

Four steps to God?

Interactive Gospel [Social
Media]

Hello
How are you please?

There is something that is very dear to my heart. I
would like to share that with you in few minutes.
Have you heard of the 4 steps to God?
Let me quickly share them with you.

Step 1- God Loves You!
The Bible says, “God so loved the world that He
gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in
Him shall not perish, but have eternal life”
The problem is that…

Step 2- All of us have done, said or thought things
that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins
have separated us from God.
The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God.” God is perfect and holy, and our sins
separate us from God forever. The Bible says “The
wages of sin is death.”

The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago,

Step 3- God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die
for our sins.
Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and
then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our
sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that
while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.”
Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in
heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of
eternal life — of living forever with Him in heaven if
we accept Him as our Lord and Savior.
Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No
one comes to the Father except by Me.”

Step 4- If you want to accept Christ as your Savior
and turn from your sins, you can ask Him to be
your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:
“Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God.
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins.
Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of
eternal life. I ask you in to my life and heart to be
my Lord and Savior. I want to serve you always.”
If you have prayed this prayer sincerely, you have
become a child of God. All your sins have been
forgiven.
The Holy Spirit now lives in you.

I would like to encourage you to join a Bible
believing church near you where Christ is honoured
and His word is preached.
