#jesus saves
God has beautiful plans for your future but you’ll never get there if you keep looking at the past.
I have times when I feel very lonely and depressed. I’m only human and sometimes my emotions take control over my life. When I start to feel that way I usually move away from God. And then I feel even more depressed and lonely. Satan wants us to feel that way. He wants to separate us from God’s peace but God is bigger. When you struggle with doubt don’t move away from God but come closer to him. Tell him about it. God is bigger than our doubt and our bad thoughts about ourselves. He knows our pain and our dreams. He is the supernatural God, he knows everything that’s in your heart. Don’t let emotions control your life. Open your Bible, speak to him and worship. He cares about you. He loves you.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
Psalm 91

The Bible doesn’t tell us much about the time between Jesus’ death and resurrection. But, we do know it took place during the Passover celebration: a week-long holiday that commemorated when God freed the Israelites from slavery.
During the celebration, Jews would share a meal with each other and sacrifice perfect lambs at the temple before preparing to rest on the Sabbath. It was the day before the Sabbath that Jesus’ body was sealed inside the tomb.
Imagine being a disciple of Jesus while this happened. Not only has one of your closest friends just been wrongly killed, but you aren’t allowed to properly grieve his death until the day of rest is over.
What the disciples didn’t realize at the time was that the pain they were experiencing was part of a bigger story—a plan to redeem us all. God could see the resurrection coming, even though the disciples couldn’t.
Rest reminds us that God is Lord over every situation. And rest helps us refocus on what matters most: the One who promises to provide all we need. When we choose to be still in the middle of hardship, we choose to worship God.
So no matter what’s going on around you today, choose to rest in God—even if the world around you is choosing to worry. Nothing is impossible for Him.
Pray: Jesus, today, help me to rest in You. I know that You are greater than whatever’s going on around me. My hope is in You alone because You are my salvation. I believe that You have already answered the cries of my heart, even though I’m still waiting to see the answers. So today, I choose to fix my eyes on You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
“Why have You forsaken me?”
Imagine you’re watching Jesus hang from the cross. The only way He can breathe is by pushing Himself up using the nails in His wrists and ankles.
As the day draws to an end, He musters what little strength He has left to pull Himself up again so that He can cry out: “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?”
If we’re being honest with ourselves, we’ve all probably had moments where we’ve asked God, “Where are You in this? Why have You forsaken me?”
How should we respond when we find ourselves in situations where we feel alone, anxious, or forsaken?
The words Jesus spoke on the cross were actually taken from Psalm 22—a prophetic lament written by King David. In many ways, this Psalm is about Jesus, but it also provides us with three action steps we can follow when we feel alone:
1. Be honest with God about how you’re feeling.
Relationships start with being real. So if you’re feeling forsaken by God, tell Him that. Ask God your questions, and prepare your heart to hear his answers.
2. Give God glory anyway.
Our feelings don’t change the fact that God is worthy of being worshiped. In fact, it’s often through worship that we discover the cure for our worry. When we focus on who God is, our perspective eventually shifts—even if our situation doesn’t.
3. Remind God of his promises.
Throughout Psalm 22, David basically tells God, “I know who You are. And since You’re always true to character, deliver me like You’ve delivered Your people before me.” Reminding God of his promises is not only an act of faith, but it also helps us remember the faithfulness of God’s character.
Ultimately, God’s faithfulness was personified when Jesus was crucified. Jesus willingly suffered alone on the cross so that we could experience eternal companionship with God. Jesus is the prophetic fulfillment of Psalm 22. And, because He endured separation from God, we never have to.
Take a moment to reflect on Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice for you.
Pray: Jesus, thank You for rescuing me from eternal separation from You. It’s because You willingly endured separation from Your Father that I never have to. Today, help me to pause and reflect on the magnitude of Your sacrifice, and to give You the glory You rightly deserve. No matter what I’m feeling, You are always worthy of my worship. So today, I choose to worship You. In Jesus’ name, Amen
The First person you need to convince is Yourself..
“Obedience is better than sacrifice, but very often sacrifice ís the obedience.”
Need rest? Have you been trying to cope with your situation? Does it feel like you are drowning?
If so.. Come get rest.. I can personally testify how God gave me peace and rest in the mist of my storm..
The same love, grace and care you freely give to other people is what you owe yourself. You deserve it too. Give that to yourself too.
This is for you, brave soul.
To you who had a rough week.
To you who had been under uncertainties and stormy clouds.
To you who do not know how much longer you can hold on.
To you who always blame yourself for everything that goes wrong.
To you who had lost faith.
This is for you —
There is something in you that makes this world incredible. You may look at yourself with flaws, scars and nothing but disappointments but you have you much potential and so many things left to do.
You are someone who’s born to be a warrior.
Fighter, better things are coming your way.
Hang in there. You are called to overcome.
Listen,
It’s going to be alright.
I know up to this point, things haven’t worked out for you. Things may not be going the way you’ve wanted and prayed it to be. Even so, it is okay.
You’ve put your heart on the line for how many times and again and again, you’ve come up empty handed. You never fear losing, it is just you’ve given so much, you’ve given your all and yet you had nothing. Time after time you’ve given so much and received nothing in return.
And yes, it is going to be alright.
You kept asking because you’ve sacrificed, you’ve tried, you’ve fought hard and yet here you are —questioning, wondering, doubting and worst may be, losing hope.
But that’s okay, that is okay. Keep your head up, conqueror.
Believe it or not, right now God wants you right where He wants you.
He’s mending you.
He’s prunning you.
He’s molding you.
He’s strengthening you.
He’s working in you.
He’s working on you.
And He’s preparing you.
He’s preparing you for something that is far better anything you’ve had before.
He’s preparing you for something that you can’t even imagine.
He’s preparing you for something you’ve been praying for, day after day, night after night.
The world may have turned its back on you but it is okay.
Maybe He’s preparing you for something that’s going to make you look back, and understand why He never let anything work before.
To the one who is continously hurting,
To the one who is brave enough to face tomorrow,
To you who is fighting silent battles,
Hold on.
Do not lose your grip.
Wait a little more.
So much goodness is coming. There may be mourning at night but joy is yet to come.
Hold on to hope.
Choose to love even more.
Choose love.
Know that He is good and His mercy overflows.
His grace suits perfectly in you.
He sees your tears.
He comforts.
You are not alone.
Goodness is here.
Goodness is coming to you.
Listen,
It’s going to be alright.
I know up to this point, things haven’t worked out for you. Things may not be going the way you’ve wanted and prayed it to be. Even so, it is okay.
You’ve put your heart on the line for how many times and again and again, you’ve come up empty handed. You never fear losing, it is just you’ve given so much, you’ve given your all and yet you had nothing. Time after time you’ve given so much and received nothing in return.

You kept asking because you’ve sacrificed, you’ve tried, you’ve fought hard and yet here you are —questioning, wondering, doubting and worst may be, losing hope.
But that’s okay, that is okay. Keep your head up, conqueror.
Believe it or not, at this point, God wants you right where He wants you.
He’s mending you.
He’s prunning you.
He’s molding you.
He’s strengthening you.
He’s working in you.
He’s working on you.
And He’s preparing you.
He’s preparing you for something that is far better anything you’ve had before.
He’s preparing you for something that you can’t even imagine.
He’s preparing you for something you’ve been praying for, day after day, night after night.
The world may have turned its back on you but it is okay.
Because maybe, He’s preparing you for something that’s going to make you look back, and understand why He never let anything work before.

it’s been a while since i have logged in here and i admit that it’s mostly because i am anxious of all kinds of things. i know that i don’t belong here anymore, and that’s fine, because i got called out of this world and i don’t belong anywhere anymore at all. i am worried of what you people on here might think, or how you react or whatever, so i don’t even try to look at my notifications or chats. i am well aware that many of you must be disappointed since i came out with the truth that i now stand for (i felt exactly the same way when doreen virtue and courtney went through the same experience earlier than me, so i understand how some of you feel, and it’s okay, but just in case there is open hostility, i’d rather avoid being confronted with it to be honest) but it’s been troubling to think of the many souls here that i loved while being part of this community. i am regularly praying for all of you and still have hope that some of you will wake up and be saved.
it’s been such a wild ride these past months. on the one hand, i have received blessings that i can not even comprehend, anything from the most mind-blowing spiritual enlightenment and revelation of truth, to unbelievable material blessings that i didn’t even ask for. on the other hand, life is quite hard because despite the grace of God in surviving the SAH, my health and life will probably never be the same again, and also it’s a very lonesome path, this road to eternal life in a perfect new world, because most people on earth enjoy the pleasures and standards of this world way too much and are not ready to leave them behind, for something that is way better.
sometimes i am so sad when i think about the fact that exactly the people that seek for greater meaning in life, spiritual enlightenment, more purpose to our seemingly meaningless existence, and true wonders and miracles, are the ones who are the most far away from getting there. but hey, there is hope! if anyone was the most far away from this blessed promise, it was me. i know that in these last years a lot more people will be saved, even if it’s at the last minute, and i hope and pray you will be among them.
the reason why i finally had the guts to log in again was a video i saw which made me break out in tears and a wave of urgency went through my body. the times we live in are very dark and it will get worse and worse, and the most intense longing of my heart is to wake people up. i wonder how people even cope who don’t share the knowledge of truth and the hope that we have, but then i am reminded of how utterly asleep i was just two years ago. i remember now that while i was homeless and in the shelter, there were two women who God used to try and wake me up, but whatever they both were saying “washed over me” as if it had no meaning at all. i heard it, but i didn’t receive it. now that i am wide awake, i can see how patient and merciful He was with me.
maybe i should just ignore the anxiety and do what i was always good at - that is blogging - but this time finally for a purpose that is meaningful, not just to exalt myself and gain popularity and “love” from it. there is no real love in this world anyway; that becomes very clear when you turn your back from the darkness that is all around us, and start to walk in the light. thank God, we have been warned.
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. John 15:19 KJV
my offer still stands and will always stand, that if anyone of you feels drawn by the spirit of God to come to the One who is the Way, the Truth and the Life, you can always get in touch with me, and i will make sure to help you however i possibly can, as this one and only path of truth is a minefield of deceptions from the devil and his fallen angels. i had to pray, research and learn a lot, and the learning unfolds infinitely. thank God that He is so faithful. i feel such remorse that i was “helping” thousands upon thousands of humans to engage in self-destruction on the road to eternal loss. please forgive me. i am grateful that God will always have mercy if we truly feel sorrow for our wrongdoings and sins from the past. IGnoony.newborn
may the Father bless you in Jesus’ name.
Please forgive me for all the sins I have brought upon myself. And look down upon me with forgiveness for all the sins I will have in the future. I know you understand that I’m not perfect, but I try Lord. I try to keep my head up in bad times. This is a bad time. Show me the way. And if you can’t show me the way… then forgive me for being lost.
Amen

This video was filmed and directed by Austin Burke. Austin Burk shows in this short skit about how Sin affects us and our everyday life… He wanted to show how giving into temptation isn’t all fun and games. He wanted to give examples of how it harms us. But thankfully God will reach his hands down into the filthy waters and pull us out even when we seem to have no hope left.…
