To worship GOD at EDC - 29th June 2008

The True Worshipers
(John 4:23-24)

23-24 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth , for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit , and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.

what is target of the worship? People's Christian need to know about the worship. People who christian do the same in life such as everyday they did the same in life and unhappy sometimes,pressure etc.Look they are not nice the same in life daily.WHY?

Check your true worship or false?

Some people who Christian didn't know the true worship. The target of worship is bow the Lord,Be holy and honour the Lord.

Where we need to worship the Lord? Answer : At the church every Sunday, every Wednesday is meeting prayer and every Friday is Pentecost prayer = called "worship".

Some people who Christians were false worshipers means not bow the Lord.WHY? Because they don't know about God.Even though they cames to church in a long years but why still false worshipers? Can't get in the heaven.Because of false worshipers.

If know about God- feel deeply and honour as quality to the Lord God. Please don't follow and depends on your heart or feelings! If follow your heart or depends on it.You are really stupid and will happen.

How we bow to the Lord as worshiper? Through Pastor preaches about the bible (word of God) as you follow that what God want you to do = your bowed the Lord.

Everyone like idol such as money,movies,work overtime while worship on Sunday and etc.Please don't like idol.

People who Christians must know God,right? Why need to know about God?Because God make the human.Why God make the human on the earth?Because God wants everyone say praise to the Lord,forgive and glory to the Lord.God like to listen people who Christian to say praise the Lord because Lord had make the human.

Did you know what is the false worshipers?False worshiper means remember the evil things such as idol,everyone had appointment and ready to remember with your friends and something while worship day(Sunday) and etc. They do like that.

As you know,Now Jesus had to go through Samaria.So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?"(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

Jesus answered her,"If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.

"Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?"= (look the Samaritan woman unbeliever him)

Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." = ( Jesus will give Samaritan get a water in forever and never stop be thirsty again.)

The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water."

Jesus told her, "Go, call your husband and come back."

"I have no husband," she replied.

Jesus said to her, "You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true." =(Jesus knew Samaritan have had 5 husbands and now have is not her 's husband) WAH,how he knew did?) Believe Jesus!

"Sir," the woman said, "I can see that you are a prophet.Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem." = (The Samaritan woman confused in which is true worship on mountain and Jew place)

Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?"

Then,leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, "Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?" They came out of the town and made their way toward him. ( The woman call to the people at Samaritan place to come see Jesus)

Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "Jesus told me everything I ever did." So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days.And because of his words many more became believers.= (The Samaritans people desire to listen word of God through Jesus preached)

They said to the woman, "We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world." John 4

As you know the spirit is very important for your life. The spirit talk in your mind such as please don't go to disco club and it will happen, whatever but the people don't want to listen the spirit talked you in your mind.God was pain in heart but still love with you eventhough you don't want to listen God's advise through the spirit.God don't want you go to hell if you disobey.It's very hard to get in the heaven. The spirit talk in your mind and depends on your feeling(human self) that the spirit and human self very hard to communicate.Because of the spirit is holy and the human self is self important can't communicate.If you follow the spirit was advised you in your mind,it's very easy for you and life within joy,happy,excite and etc. Than self important.Self important very danger why? Because people who self important can't be happy daily,sad,problem sometime and etc.The human self important than the spirit you can't enter the heaven.

Hills (5)

Bible Reading : Matthew 27:27-44

An old hymn begins with these words : " On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross."This song talks about the place where Jesus was crucified.

Verse 33 of our Bible Reading tells us that the soldiers led Jesus to a " place called Golgotha. ( Golgotha means 'The Place of the Skull.') " We do not know for sure if Golgotha was a hill.But many people think it was a small hill shaped like a skull.

Often we see beautiful pictures or carvings of crosses. These are supposed to remind us of the cross where Jesus died.But the cross where Jesus died was not pretty.It was ugly and cruel.

When Jesus was on the cross, He suffered much pain. He also took all the sins of the world on that cross.He did this so we can have our sins forgiven . Why ? Because He loved us so much.

Have you said " thank you" to Jesus for dying for you? Have you accepted Him as your Savior? If not , I encourage you to do it today!

" And Jesus is the way that all people can have their sins taken away , too." 1John 2:2b

PRAYER : God, thank you for giving my sins. In Jesus' name . Amen.

Hills (4)

Bible Reading: Mark 1:35-38

When I was young, my grandmother owned a farm.Part of the farm was a beautiful wooded area.This area was full of hills. It was so much fun to explore. But the best thing about this area was the peace and calmness I felt when I was thee. As I looked at the beautiful things. God had made, I felt very close to Him. In that place , there were no noises or distractions to bother me.

Our Bible Reading today tells us that Jesus went to a special place to be alone and pray. I think everyone needs a place where they can go and be alone with God.

Maybe you can't go out into the country , but you can still find place where you can still find a place where you can pray and be alone with God. Maybe you can just close the door of your bedroom or sit under a tree in the backyard or find a place in small closet.

I hope you have the opportunity to be in a quiet place with God today.Read His Word and pray to Him.

God is our storehouse of strength.In him, we can always find help in times of trouble." Psalm 46:1

PRAYER : Heavenly Father, I love You. Please help me spend some time alone with You today. In Jesus' name.Amen.

Hills (3)

Bible Reading : Matthew 6:25-34

I remember that when I was a child, I would become very upset about something that was small and unimportant.Then my mother would say, "Don't make a mountain out of a mole hill."Maybe you have heard this expression before.It means that we should not become upset about something that is not important.

A small problem should be like a small hill that a mole makes in the ground.But if a person worries and worries about a small problem, they make it become like a big mountain.Maybe you do that sometimes.

God does not want us to worry. 1 Peter 5:7 says, " Give all your worries to him,because he cares for you." Our Bible Reading tells us that God takes care of the birds, the flowers and the grass.If He does that, He will take care of us, too.

When we have problems, we need to tell them to God. Then we need to let God take care of them for us. I hope you will do that today.

But in the morning, I will sing songs of praise to you. I will rejoice in your love.Why? Because you are my place of safety, high in the mountains. And I can run to you when troubles come." Psalm 59:16

PRAYER: God,Thank You for always taking care of me.In Jesus name.Amen.

Hills (2)

Bible Reading : Isaiah 40:6-8

When I was young,my mother and grandmother took me to a hill in the country.We called this "Flower Hill" because of the many wildflowers that grew there.We were always excited to see the first wildflowers that bloomed in the spring. My mother and grandmother told me the names of each wildflower.But these flowers only lasted a short time.

Our Bible Reading today reminds us that all things on earth are temporary.But one thing lasts forever- God's word. Verse 8 says, " Yes, all people are like grass.Grass dies and wildflowers fall. But the word of our God continues forever."

When the Old testament was written,God's words were very important for the people who read it.When the New Testament was written, its words were important, too. And both the Old and New Testaments are important for us today.

The Bible is our guide in life. It will never be old-fashioned.Read and study God's word today.

Always remember the things written in that book of law... If you do this, then you will be wise and successful in everything you do." Joshua 1:8

PRAYER : Dear Father, help me to depend on You as I face new challenges today. In Jesus' name. Amen

Hills (1)

Bible reading : proverbs 3:1-8

Today and for the next few days, our devotions will be about hills.The town where I live has many steep hills.When I go for a walk, I try to walk uphill for the first part of my walk.Then I walk downhill for the second part of my walk when I am more tired.

If I am in good physical shape,walking uphill is not difficult.But if I am not physically fit, the uphill walk is a struggle. It is the same in my spiritual life. If I am close of God, I am in good spiritual shape. Then it is much easier to work through my problems.

Our Bible Reading today tells us how we can be spiritually fit. 1) we can trust God completely (verse 5). 2) We can think about God in all we do (verse 6). 3)we can respect God (verse 7). 4) And we can stay away from evil (verse 7).

I hope you will work at being spiritually fit. Then it will be easier to depend on God every day of your life.

" I look up to the hills for help.But where does my help really come from ? My help will come from the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth." Psalm 121:1-2

PRAYER: Dear God, help me to depend completely on You. In Jesus' name.Amen.

Wait Patiently

Bible Reading : Romans 8:18-25

Sodium cyanide and hydrochloric acid are very bad substance.But if we combine the sodium from sodium cyanide and the chlorine from hydrochloric acid, we can make salt. salt is a very good thing.

Sometimes in life we face bad things likesickness,financial problems or death.We become discouraged and frustrated.we think that nothing good can come from these bad things.

Verse 18 of our Bible Reading says," We have sufferings now.But the sufferings we have now are nothing compared to the great glory that will be given to us." Paul is telling us that we will have problems on earth.But when we die and live forever with God,we will experience wonderful things.In the meantime,Paul said we should wait patiently (verse 25b).

No matter what bad things you face today, remember that God has great things planned for His children.Listen to Paul's advice.Wait patiently for these great things to happen.

" But we are hoping for something that we don't have yet. We are waiting for it patiently." Romans 8: 25

PRAYER : Dear Father,thank you for the promise of eternal life with You.Help me to be patient.In Jesus' name.Amen

Helping Others

Bible Reading : Acts 9:36-43

My friend was very lonely.Her husband had to move to a nursing home.My friend's children visited her often,but she was especially lonely in the evenings.

Then my friend heard that a church wanted mittens and caps for needy families.She started knitted three hats and three sets of mittens.This work helped my friend not be lonely in the evenings.

When my friend's neighbor saw what she was doing , she asked my friend to knit some things for her.Then other people asked my friend to bake cookies and breads.She was happy to serve God by helping other people.

In our Bible Reading today we read about Tabitha.She made coats and clothes for people.Tabitha also gave money to help poor people.Tabitha served God by doing these things

Maybe you are lonely.Look for ways to help other people today.

..."serve each other with love."Galatians 5:14b

PRAYER : Dear God, I want to serve You.Please show me ways to help other people today.In Jesus' name.Amen

Be Filled with the Spirit


Do not get drunk on wine,which leads to debauchery.Instead,be filled with the Spirit. (Eph 5:18)

God's law something like can't smoke,don't drunk on wine, and others.But people who are disobedient.That the Holy spirit can't be with you.If you are full of obey by God's law and let Holy spirit's work in your heart easily.

Did you know what the kinds of Holy spirit?The spirit gives a joy,excite,smile,desire word of God,peace, and a lots! Have you with a joy in daily? If say sometime,because of Satan is still inside your heart. Holy spirit and Holy evil of both can't inside your heart.The holy evil don't like people who christian to listen God's word,don't like Pastor's preach,song of christian and etc.Meanwhile the Holy spirit take care of your heart in good everything such as happiness,joyful,peace,conquer the Satan,wisdom and etc.

Have your heart in spirit? If say no, Because of they had sin.The holy spirit couldn't into your heart.How the Holy spirit into your heart? You have sinned should be repent.Be pure in your heart.Please pray in daily.Ask the Lord to help and send holy spirit inside your heart.Can ask the Lord many times.God will help you!

Bible reading,verse (Gal 5:16-18) So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify(comfort) the desires of the sinful nature.For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.

The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.( Gal 19-21)

Other verse ( Eph 4:30) And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.It's mean don't hurt the Holy spirit of God,example you don't want to go church the spirit was hurt!Because the spirit serve for the Lord.So please don't grieve the Holy spirit of God.OK

How the Lord gift of the Holy Spirit?
Bible reading, verse (Acts 2: 38)Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call."

Wah,God is so GOOD!!

Last for other verse ( Acts 10:44) While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. ~ Peter was a fisherman.He's not good in knowledge,don't know in everything.When he received the power of the Holy spirit,he bravely shared his faith with that crowd,and 3000 people were saved!

AWESOME !!.

Faith

Bible Reading : Hebrews 11:1-13

Johannes Rebmann was a missionary in Africa. He heard stories about a very high mountain covered with snow.Rebmann had faith in these stories.So he searched for a long time for this mountain.

One day in 1848,Rebmann finally saw the large mountain. Today we all this mountain,Kilimanjaro.It is in the country of Tanzania.Rebmann had faith in the stories about the mountain.That's why he searched until he found it.

Today's Bible Reading tells us about people who had faith in God- Adam,Abel,Enoch,Noah,Abraham,Isaac and Jacob. These people followed and obeyed God even though they did not understand all about God's plan.

Sometimes we do not understand God's plans for our lives.but if we have faith in God, we know that He will continue to take care of us and protect us.

Depend on God today. He will always be with you.

" God's power is complete. The Lord's word has been tested.He protects people who trust Him." Psalm 18:30

PRAYER: Father in heaven,thank you for taking care of me. Help me to have more faith in You each day.In Jesus' name.Amen

“DON’T GIVE SATAN FOOTHOLD”
Eph 4:26-27


Foothold mean bit open door = heart. Don’t let Satan enter you(in body). Satan is evil spirit,no have body so we can’t see the Satan. John 10:10 Satan come to steal,kill and destroy. Satan steal blessing and grace.

If you still angry until sun, go down : means let Satan enter you already. So before sun go down, you must remove your anger immediately. If you think and repent is OK but inside your heart still with anger something like don’t want to meet and talk to enemy. You are Sin.

If you more + more angry. Your face will looks unhappy.It may be Crazy and want to be alone. So angry is danger, we don’t depend our feelings. If you meet Jesus, will you keep or confess? Same as you can confess to Pastor. Pastor will help and pray for you.

If we are doubt the pastor preached.That the Satan already inside you! Same as Satan put doubt in Eve to eat forbid fruit.

Satan is very well and cheat us. Satan not show that what is sin but use of sweet word and also have God’s name made us confess. Doubt can’t made you have a long time friend. Be trust God’s word. If you always other questions to prove Pastor preach is wrong or not, mean you doubt.

We easy sensitive on our feeling, sad, discourage, worry, bad mood, Satan have in you. If you had felt bad, fast to drive out the Satan in Jesus name. Our mind have many in negative word from Satan. Satan want us give up and stop to church.

You no pray mean Satan have in you. Pray is like boom, boxing,armour of God. Pray is talk to God. God helps you. We need holy spirit to defeat Satan. How? More pray! As you knew,Jesus is pray in daily. If you not follow Jesus do. You are proud. You must seek your weakness and pray while repent don’t let Satan foothold.

~ PS 112:7 = Don’t be sensitive in your feeling and hear by gossip. Be trusting in God.

“Honest Christian in Life”
Deut 6:18-19


Right & Good = honest. Many people lie in life, why use lie? God has never teach you to lie. * Amount of the small and big lie, let us don’t think it as normal. Because God’s heart very honest. You talked with somebody a lie in different thing among peoples. Better talk honest to all people the same things. Right & Good= Faith (holy) >> honest.

Devil who made you lie. Devil like to use lie.

Do you know ? The Bible is same of the words in different country such as China, Japan and all the world.

Honest ~ the truth, the way, the life. Each words is one way. But you use many way mean talk in not same things with others = all LIE talk in life. Why must use lie? Because you don’t want lose your face like PRIEST!

If you lie, God is unhappy. Ask you,Do lie is good? DON’T USE LIE in your think,mind,heart. Think carefully to talk honest from start now.

Lie ~ Never benefit. Ask Jesus come earth why? Jesus never lie! Jesus show honest word. He always said truth many words in Bible. Why said “TRUTH”? So people can believe it because no one person hard believe it.

“HONEST” can enter heaven, gift you a reward! How? Preach, teach you the words of God and repent. Finally PS 51:l0- honest spirit in me. How? PRAY – PLEAD got honest spirit to you daily. Later you can do your talk as nature and look very nice talker.

“LIE” go HELL. Why ? many different religions such as Buddhism,Muslim,etc. Please check your heart, don't give any excuse in your lie. Don’t you afraid of God. Why can lie? Because you are weak flesh. Better inside/outside talk same the things show other people~ OK! Can get grace what you do - God happy, Bless If lie, God not help you mean NO BLESS from LIE like no faith person. Must do same talk same thing inside/outside of your heart, work honest with Lord. God will bless you suitable for Christian.

Now problem that many people were lie – marry,lover,friend,work,school,family and etc. Cheat you, no believe people. Only trust in God. Cannot use said “honest” ,you are SIN! example= I talk with someone, I'm honest that I will be go to oversea next month" but it's not real! God only know. Look you are good and honest person? Stop lie! 90% honest + 10% lie = all lies!

PS 5:6-7 :- If lie, God punish, destroy, go hell. Please stop lie!
PS 84:11 :- Bless you more if honest always in life.

*Lie go hell forever!! ( use lie also cheat yourself ) most NO:1
HOW? To Hear God's words(Bible) / repent / let come ‘Honest Spirit in me’

“ Commit Your Way to the Lord”


Commit mean give all your life to God and let God do for you. But most of us not commit,because more of worry and care about family, money and own life in the future. So we had hard to work and burden heavy. Our face look different.Your body language shows unhappy. Also we burden heavy for our sin, who can forgive and free us?

Example. Can you take 10 thousand in your pocket? You will afraid because someone will steal your money. How settle it? Better keep money in the bank. Can you give money to friend? No, why ? because you believed the bank can care your money than friend. Bank same as God. If you all commit to God. You no need worry and free of thinking(no pressure). Because God is almighty and never change!. See Heb 13:8 Jesus is yesterday , today , and forever same.

Who Christian also need not always change the heart and mind. Promise to other is important.

Abraham committed and believed in God, that’s why he can obey God told him sacrificed his son.

If your face problem,sick,hard life. Now oil very expensive. It’s all made by God for test your faith. And also close to God. God want us commit . if you not commit, you haven't faith. See Pro 16:9 God lead you hard way for develop your faith. Like God lead Moses and Israelites into desert. Be trust in God,He will help you. You know, yourself are not complete, why not commit to the Lord?

Job 23:10 God knew all about you. He want made you as gold.

Meeting prayer on Wednesday 4th June,2008 at EDC

Fear is very important. If not,sure cannot get to heaven.
Fear mean "honor" ~ hate SIN such as money, sex,lie,dirty words,things of world and etc.

1) SALVATION This is very rich word of God who He gave you save by Cross ~believe God / forgive us / Baptist / repent / trust God.

2)BLESS is also very important ~ believe Jesus Christ Son of God. Psalm 128:1 = Bless from fear ~ cannot touch sin while God look over you. Psalm 107:10-11 = darkness, suffering,sad, nothing… Like, why people worried about why increase price up petrol ??? JAM 2:26 – Without faith , because only knowledge but never do thing. Deaf people were poor(words,atitude)so they may to get bless slowly because no fear. If know to find treasure of God, bless us ~ Very joy, surprise find word of God,trust Lord .

5) Wisdom gives us how to different sin of good and bad things.Ps 111:10 – very rich word of wisdom. Don’t trust people 100% for 10 years, later cheat us, painful ,to hurt someone's feelings. Like fool because trust world of evil things ,give us angry,sad,troblue, problem, unhappy life and etc. Better trust in Lord and Thou will give you "wisdom" , if surprise / realize of this word can enter the heaven.

Sleep

Bible Reading : Psalm 4:1-8

All people need to sleep.Sleep is very important for a healthy body.We don't sleep,we often develop other physical problem,too.

Genesis,chapter one, tells us that God created day and night.Genesis 1:16 says," So God made the two large lights.God made the larger light [sun'] to rule during the day.He made the smaller light [moon] to rule during the night." God planned for us to sleep so that our bodies can rest and receive straight.

But sometimes I have trouble sleeping.In our Bible Reading today, David tells me what I can do when I can't sleep. Verse 3-4 say, " You know that the Lord hears me when I pray to him... Think about those things when you go to bed and then relax."

If I am having trouble sleeping,I can pray.I know God wants to help me so that I will not be troubled or afraid.You can ask for God's peace to help you sleep well tonight.

" I leave you peace.It is my own peace I give you.. So don't be troubled.Don't be afraid." John 14:27

PRAYER : Dear God,thank You for loving me.Help me to relax and know that I am safe with You. In Jesus' name.Amen.

Tents

Bible Reading : Exodus 40:17-38

When my children were little,we often went camping.When we were camping,we slept in tents.I learned that lots of baggage and extra things were not needed when we were on a camping trip.

Our Bible Reading today tells us that Moses set up the Holy Tent.(This Holy Tent is also called tabernacle.)This tent was the place where God's special people,the Israelites,worshiped God.When God wanted the Israelites to move,they packed up the Holy Tent and carried it to a new place.

The Israelites went to the Holy Tent when they wanted to worship God. Later,King Solomon built a temple in the city of Jerusalem.The Israelites worshiped God there for many years.

Christians today can worship God in many places.They can worship in a church building or in a home or anywhere that Christians meet together.I hope that you meet with other Christians to worship and praise God.

" Then the cloud covered the Meeting Tent and the Glory of the Lord filled the Holy Tent." Exodus 40:34a

Prayer : God,help me to worship and praise You everyday day.In Jesus' name.Amen.

Today

TODAY



Bible Reading : Psalm 90:12-17

Someone told me: "Every new day is a gift from God." When we wake up in the morning,God gives us another twenty-four hours to use for Him.

Probably most of us have a routine that we follow every day- eating,sleeping,working,spending time with our families and friends.Often we do these things over and over again.Then maybe we feel like our lives are boring.

But God wants us to realize that every day is important.Verse 12 of our Bible Reading today says, "Teach us how short our lives really are,so we can become really wise." We do not know how long we will live on earth.So God wants us to use each day the best way we can.

God has given you today - Thursday, June 19Th ,2008. Think about how you can use this day for Him.You can draw closer to God through your prayer time and Bible study.You can do something nice for a family member or friend.Or you can share the Good News about Jesus with someone who does not know Him.

Use today to glorify God!

Fill us with your love every morning.Let us be happy and enjoy our lives." Psalm 90 : 14

PRAYER God,thank You for this new day.In Jesus' name.Amen.

The Greatest Love

Bible Reading : John 15:7-17

In our Bible reading today,Jesus talked to His disciples.He taught them about love.Why? Because soon Jesus would be killed on the cross. He wanted His followers to know hi important message.

In verses 12-13,Jesus said,"This is what I command you: Love each other like I have loved you.The greatest love a person can show is to die for his friends." The disciples probably did not completely understand Jesus' words at that time.but soon Jesus would die for His friends- all the people in the world.

When Jesus died on the cross,He truly showed us that He loved us.Then when Jesus arose from the dead,He showed us that He wants us live forever with Him.

Jesus wants us to be His friends.In verse 14 and 17,Jesus said,"You are my friends,If you do the things I tell you to do. This is my command : Love each other." So,remember that Jesus wants us to obey Him.We can obey Him by loving other people.

Look for ways to show your love to others today.

[Jesus said,]" Continue in me and follow me teachings." John 15:7a

PRAYER : God,thank You for sending Jesus to die on the cross.In His name.Amen.

Never Alone

Bible Reading : 1Kings 19:1-18

I remember one weekend when my children were out of town, and my friends were busy.There was no one who could go to church with me or to talk to me.

By Sunday evening I was very lonely and sad.There was no one in the house with me except my daughter's cat.At midnight,I was still awake.I thought about my marriage of twenty years.But now I was alone.I cried and I prayed.

Suddenly,a while furry bundle jumped on my bed! It was my daughter's cat.She often came on my bed.But this time she crept close to me and snuggled her head in the curve of my neck.Then the cat put her soft paw around my neck! She stayed next to me for a long time.

In our Bible Reading today,Elijah,was lonely and sad.Verse 12b tells us that God spoke to Elijah in a "quiet,gentle voice." God comforted and encouraged Elijah through His words.And I believe that God comforted me through my daughter's cat!

Remember that you are never truly alone.God will always be with you!

Elijah sat down under a bush.He asked to die." 1 Kings 19:4b

PRAYER : God,thank You for being with me.In Jesus' name.Amen.

God's love

Bible Reading : Romans 8:31-39

As my husband spoke to me,his words hit me like a bomb.He told me that he was leaving me for another woman.I did not know that he was having an affair with a member of the church where he was the pastor.

That night,I read Romans 8:28." We know that in everything god works for the good of those people that love him.These are the people God called (chose),because that was his plan." Since that night,I have read that verse over and over again.And I have learned that I can depend on these words.

Many times during the past twenty-five years,I have wondered how God would help me through painful experiences.But looking back,I can see that God has always been with me.And He has worked through my experiences to make good things happen.

Our Bible Reading today reminds us that our troubles cannot separate us from God' external love.we can depend on God's promise.

I am sure that nothing now,nothing in the future,no powers,nothing above us or nothing below us- nothing in the whole created world- will ever be able to separate us from God's love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."Roman 8:38b-39

PRAYER : Dear God,thank You for Your love.In Jesus' name.Amen.

Joseph Honor Father's
GEN 43: 27,45:2-3,13

2 And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh's household heard about it.
3 Joseph said to his brothers, " I am Joseph! Is my father still living?" But his brothers were not able to answer him, because they were terrified at his presence.
13 Tell my father about all the honor accorded me in Egypt and about everything you have seen.And bring my father down here quickly."

Joseph is very good honor to his father,Jacob.The eleventh of twelve,Joseph was born at Haran.Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made a richly ornamented robe for him. 4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.

Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more. He said to them, "Listen to this dream I had: We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it."

His brothers said to him, "Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?" And they hated him all the more because of his dream and what he had said.

Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. "Listen," he said, "I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me."

When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, "What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?" 11 His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.

Joseph sold by His Brothers. Read the bible Gen 37 : 12-36.

Joseph was separate with his family because his brothers sold.So that Jospeh's brothers told father that Joseph died but they were lied.Joseph very miss of his father.Joseph was at Shechem.His brothers and family far away and away.Joseph don't meet them in very long years. After a long years,Joseph said to his brothers, " I am Joseph! Is my father still living?" But his brothers were not able to answer him, because they were terrified at his presence.
13 Tell my father about all the honor accorded me in Egypt and about everything you have seen.And bring my father down here quickly.

How much do Joseph love his father?wah.. He is very very good honor his father.Eventhough he was far away and away from his family's home.Because of his brothers sold Joseph to other country is very farther!But He still remember and miss his father a lot! Do you love your father?how much do you love your father? your father still living?

Related to verse Ephesians 6: 1-3 and Deut 27: 16

Ephesians 6: 1-3 >> [Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right."Honor your father and mother"—which is the first commandment with a promise"that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.]

If you do obey in God,that you must honor your father and mother in everyday.God will bless you everything such as your life's very good,joy, and whatever. God's promise will give you a bless! If you dishonor your parent but you efforts your job,important self and whatever ,YOU ARE USELESS!! You will be trouble in you life such as never happy in everyday,problems,bad luck,dark in your way because God don't help you everything!God want you all honor his parent!please obey in God. Eventhough your parent bully you,hate on you,don't like you,don't love and whatever but you should honor your parent also.

Deut 27: 16 >> [ "Cursed is the man who dishonors his father or his mother."Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"]

If you dishonor your father or mother,God wouldn't give you a bless!!Because you disobey God what Thou(God) want you to do.

Blessed Father's Day!!!

God's Hand

Bible Reading : Isaiah 41:8-13

I had surgery and I was trying to wake up.I was in pain,and I needed to tell someone.Suddenly,a nurse put her hand on the rail of my bed.I grabbed her hand and squeezed it.The nurse put her other hand on my hand and patted it.

The nurse and I used our hands to communicate.my squeeze told her that I was in pain.And her hand gave me comfort.

Every day I face times when I need to take hold of someone's hand.But often there is no other person around me.That's when I remember that God is with me,holding my hand and comforting me.

In our Bible Reading today,God talked to His children,the Israelites.In verse 13, God said,"I am the Lord your God.I am holding your right hand.And I tell you : Don't be afraid! I will help you."

Maybe you will need someone to hold your hand today.You can depend on God to be with You to help you!

"Don't worry,I am with you.Don't be afraid,I am your God.I will make you strong.I will help you.I will support you with my good right hand." Isaiah 41:10

PRAYER Dear Lord,Thank You for holding my hand.In Jesus' name Amen.

Everything New

Bible Reading : Revelation 21: 1-5

Recently my husband and I took a long trip.We traveled to see family members in Indaho,Montana and Washington.While we were gone,there was a flood in our home town.

About eighteen inches of muddy water poured into our apartment.Almost everything we had was ruined.The owners of the apartments.They put in new walls,carpets and fixtures.

Then we had to buy new and used furniture to put in our apartment.Family members and friends helped us buy what we needed.Now almost everything in our apartment is new.

We were excited to move back into our apartment.In the same way,we should be excited to spend eternity with God.Verse 5a of our Bible Reading says,"The One that was sitting on the throne said,"Look! I am making everything new!"

I am excited to be back in my apartment.But I am even more excited when I think about living forever with God.I hope you are excited,too.

"There will be no more death,sadness,crying,or pain.All the old ways are gone."Revelation 21 :4b

PRAYER : God,thank you for eternal life through Jesus.In His name.Amen.

Rain

Bible Reading : Psalm 40:1-5

One day my oldest son,Alex,became very sick.As I sat in Alex's hospital room,it was raining.I watched the raindrops trickle down the window.I cried and I prayed to God.But I felt like God was not answering my prayers.

Two days later,Alex was doing much better.I decided to take him to a garden that was in the hospital courtyard.It was a beautiful garden,full of pink roses,tulips and purple lilacs.

That same evening it rained again.But this time as I looked out Alex's window,I saw more than just raindrops.I also saw the beautiful garden that we had visited earlier in the day.Before,I only saw the rain on the window.This time ,I saw the garden, too.

Often when we have problems,we can only see our problems.We don't see God's blessings and how He helps us overcome these problems.

Be sure to look for the wonderful things that God is doing in your life today.

"Lord ,our God,you have done many wonderful things! You have wonderful plans for us."Psalms 40:5a

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father,thank you for always being with me.In Jesus' name.Amen.

Attitudes

Bible Reading : 1 Corinthians 10 :23-33

God made all the animals on earth.If I watch some of these animals,I can see how they live and what they do.Then I can learn from their attitudes.

Others are very playful.They look like they are always happy.Their attitude seems to be."Enjoy life."Beavers are very good at building sturdy dams in rivers.Their attitude might be,"Do it right!"

Retrievers are kind and gentle dogs.Their attitude seems to be,"Be kind to people." Lions are very powerful and quick-acting.Maybe their attitude is "DO it now!" All of these animals' are things that we can do in life, too.

Our Bible Reading today gives us another very good attitudes.Verse 31 says,"So if you eat or if you drink or if you do anything,do it for the glory of God. We should try please God with everything in our lives- ours jobs,our family relationships,our friendships and our service to Him.

Think about this verse today.Make sure everything you do pleases God.

" Everything you say and everything you do should all be be done for Jesus your Lord(Master)." Colossians 3:17a

PRAYER : Dear God,help me glorify you through my life today.In Jesus' name.Amen.

WWW.com (4)

Reading Bible: Matthew 28:16-20

The third "w" in our Internet Address stands for "witnessing".
The members of God's true church should be witnesses and share the Good News about Jesus With non-Christians.

The church I attend has a special mission statement: "Bring them in, build them up,send them out."We want to bring people to Jesus so they can accept Him as their Savior.Then we want to build up these new Christians faith.And, we want to send these people out to bring more people to Jesus.That mission statement in very similar to our Bible Reading today.These verses are some of the last words Jesus said to His Followers before He left earth.They are important words for every Christian to remember."So go and make followers of all people in the world.Baptize them in the name of the Father and Son and the Holy Spirit.Teach those people to obey everything that I have told you" (Verse 19-20a).

I hope you are part of a witnessing church.Look for opportunities to share your faith with people you meet today.

[Jesus said,]"You will be my witnesses- you will tell people about me."Acts 1: 8b

PRAYER : GOD, help me to share about Jesus today.In His name.Amen>

WWW.com (3)

Bible Reading : Acts 2:36-47

Our Bible Verses today tell us that the early Christians in Jerusalem were a community- they shared and helped each other.So the "com in our devotion title stands for " community".

Verse 42 tells us four things these Christians did.First,they learned the teaching of the apostles.We can do that today by reading what the apostles wrote in the Bible.Second,they shared with each other.We can share our money,our possessions and our time with other Christians.

Third,the christians ate together.This may mean that they shared a meal or the Lord's Supper.We should do both of these things with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Last,the Christians prayed together.It is very important for us to pray for our churches,the missionaries throughout the world,and for other Christians.It is also important for us to pray for people who don't know about Jesus.

I hope that the church you attend is into God's Word,worships God,witnesses to others and is a community of believes.

"The believers praised God , and all the people liked them." Acts 2:47a

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father,thank you for Your church.In Jesus' name.Amen.

Bible Reading : Isaiah 6:1-8

Another "w" in our Internet address stands for "worship."A growing and active church should worship God.This means not only meeting together to worship God,but worshiping God every day of the week.

In our Bible Reading today,Isaiah told about a time when God spoke to him.God sent special messenger angels to Isaiah.In verse 3b we read what the angels said.Holy,holy,holy,the Lord All-Powerful is very holy.His glory fills the whole earth."These angels worshiped God.

we can worship God by praising Him.but we can also worship Him in other ways.We can pray,sing/sign songs,serve other people,and tell other people about Jesus.If you are trying to obey God all the time,then you are worshiping Him every hour you are awake.

If your church is a worshiping church,you will grow in your relationship to God.

Look for ways to worship God today.

The elders worship him who lives forever and ever... and say,"Our Lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power." Revelation 4:8b

PRAYER; God,help me to worship you today.In Jesus' name.Amen.

Be Aware Mind.If Not,Perish

Noah was very good obey in GOD.He was six hundred years old when the flood waters came on the earth. Genesis 8



verse 39- And they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away.That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

My pastor preached.You knew the world had happened such as storm,earthquake,thunderstorm and etc.The weather also changed. There were happened because of God is remind or recall you to repent your sin and please back/close to Thou(GOD).Jesus is coming soon! Who people is non christian or don't know who is Jesus Christ? Let me share with you about the bible.

verse 42-43- "Therefore keep watch,because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.But understand this; If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming,he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.

God only know when you will die,Jesus go to earth for save people,condition of the earth such as storm,floodwater,etc.GOD is ONLY KNOW but Thou don't tell you when there will happen.So you have to be ready before Jesus is coming on the earth and also you have to ready in your faith,righteous,pure before you die.Please be aware if you have did in your many bad things such as argue with your parent,hate your friend,jeer and etc! Go repent your sin if you have done.

We live on the earth but we are very very short life!In heaven or hell is life forever!!

Bible Reading : 2 Timothy 3:14-17

The title for today's devotion could be part of an Internet website address. Over the next four days we will use this made-up address to remind us what God's church should be doing.

The first "w" stands for WORD.A church that is alive and growing should always be into God's Word,the bible.And the whole church should be studying God's Word together.

Our Bible Reading tells us why it is good for us to read God's Word.Verse 15 tells us that the Bible will make us wise and that this wisdom will lead us to salvation.Verses 16b and 17 give us more reasons for studying the Bible."Scripture is useful for teaching and for showing people the things that are wrong in their lives.It is useful for correcting faults and teaching how to live right.Using the scriptures,the person who serves God will be ready and will have everything he needs to do every good work."

I hope you attend a church that reads God's Word.Take advantage of every opportunity to read and study God's message to you.

The Holy Scriptures are able to make you wise." 2Timothy 3.15b

PRAYER: Dear God,Thank you for Your Word.In Jesus'name.Amen.

Tangles (Untidy)

Bible Reading : Psalm 37:1-9

When my daughter sleeps,her hair becomes tangled.Sometimes it is a big mess(untidy).My daughter does not like for me to bush her hair.But I need to brush it.If I leave the tangles,they will become worse.

I am careful when I brush my daughter's hair.I work slowly to remove the tangles.Sometimes she is patient.She moves around and does not sit still.Then my brushing hurts her head.

We all have tangles in life,too.These tangles are the problems we face each day.God wants to help us with these problems. But often we fight against God.Then our problems become worse.

My daughter needs to sit still while I work on her tangles.In the same way,we need to be patient with God when He is sleeping us with our problems.Verse 7a of our Bible Reading says,"Trust the Lord and wait for his help."

I hope you will let God help you with your problems today.

"Depend on the Lord.Trust him,and he will do what must be done."Psalm 37:5

PRAYER: Dear God,help me to be patient and trust you.In Jesus' name.Amen.

Believe in God

Bible Reading : Genesis 6 :9-22

One day in science class,my teacher explained that humans came from monkeys.One boy in my class did not understand,so I explained that the teacher was talking about the theory of evolution.

But the boy was confused.So I explained to him about God.He said that he did not believe in God.I told the boy about the Bible and what it says about God.

After class,the boy and I were in the hall with other people.Many people said they did not understand about God.They laughed at me.I told them that I believed in God and I will always believe in God.One of my good friends,Anna,is a Christian.She agreed that we should believe in God.

Our Bible Reading today talks about Noah.I think that when Noah built the ark,many people laughed at him.But Noah believe in God and continued to built the ark.So I should continue to believe in God and follow him,too.

"But Noah had faith and respect for God.So Noah built a large boat to save his family.With his Faith,Noah showed that the world was wrong." Hebrews 11:7b

PRAYER Father,help me to always believe in you.In Jesus' name.Amen.

God's Strenght

Bible Reading: Isaiah 40:28-31

There is a steep hill in the small town where I live.I have to work very hard to walk up that hill.

One day as I was walking, I reached the top of the hill.As I stopped to catch my breath,the bell chimes from a nearby church began to play.I thought about some of the words from the song it was playing: " I am weak but thou (God) are strong."

As I stood on that hill,I really agreed with those words.God had given me physical strength to get up the hill.Then I thought about the many times.God had given me spiritual and emotional strength in my life.

In our Bible Reading today,Isaiah said (verse 29)," The Lord helps weak people to be strong.He causes the people without power to become powerful." And verse 31a reminds us that people who trust the Lord will "become strong again like eagles that grow new feathers."

I hope that you will trust Go today. He will give you strength to face your problems and to help you serve Him.

"These people run without becoming weak.These people walk without becoming tired." Isaiah 40:31b

PRAYER Mighty and Powerful God,Thank you for giving me strength every day.Help me to trust you.In Jesus'name.Amen.

COME,HOLY SPIRIT

Come, Holy Spirit -- speak to my heart,
Dwell richly within me as this new day starts;
Help me to see through the eyes of my Lord
So I can withstand all the sin in this world.

Teach me compassion for my fellow man
And if I should stumble, help me to stand;
Help me to love when it's easy to hate,
When fear overcomes me, strengthen my faith.

When I lack understanding, speak wisdom to me,
If pride should creep in, throw me down on my knees;
When I need some direction, please point out the way,
And take full control of all that I say,

Come, Holy Spirit -- live Christ's life through me,
Help me to honor His name faithfully;
I've made my choice, I have counted the cost,
Come guide me again as I take up my cross.

---

And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another
Helper, that He may abide with you forever, even the Spirit
of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither
sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells
in you. I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you.
(John 14:16-18)

Made to Worship by Andrew

He is really cute! I like to listen this music.

Must see! A little boy knew how to sign language for a christian song..

-Poem- Teach Me,Lord

Teach me day by day, Lord,
To delight myself in You;
Teach me through Your Word,
And the doors You take me through.

Teach me, Lord, to see You
In all about me here;
And when I feel forsaken,
Remind me that You're near.

Help me hear the songs
That You sing to me each day;
Show me how to trust You more,
And teach me to obey.

Lord, help me feel Your presence,
Be in all I say and do;
Teach me how to know You,
To delight myself in You.

Our Barn (5)

Bible Reading : John 14: 1-4

Building the new barn was hard work but it was a lot of fun,too.Before we started building,we made a plan of exactly how we wanted the barn to be.

As we built the barn, I imagined where the horse stalls would be and where my horse would live. I knew that the new barn being built.

Often we become comfortable with our lives here on earth.We don't want things to change.But we should remember that God has something much better planned for us.He gives us external life if we will accept His Plan of salvation through Jesus.

In our Bible Reading,Jesus told His followers about the new home.He was preparing for them.Jesus wanted His followers to look forward to living forever with Him.

Our old barn was okay,but the new one is so much better.Life on earth is good,but eternal life with God will be so very wonderful.I hope you are looking forward to living forever with God.

"There are many rooms in my Father's house..I am going there to prepare a place for you." John 14:2

PRAYER God,I want to live with you forever. In Jesus' name.Amen.

Our Barn (4)

Bible Reading : Exodus 17:8-13

My family and I took the barn walls apart,piece by piece.We saved all the beams from the roof.We pulled out old nails and saved all the good wood.

Then we started building the new barn.We put up long poles for the frame of the barn.Crossbeams and rather held everything together.My father did most of this work.But the whole family helped.Even though my father knew the most about building,he needed everyone's help.We had to work together as a team.

Our Bible Reading today shows us a perfect example of people working together.Moses and the Israelites would win the fight.Verse 12b says,"Then Aaron and Hur held Moses'hands in the air.Aaron was on one side of Moses and Hur was on the other side.They held his hands up like this until the sun went down."

Moses,Hur and Aaron worked together.I need to work with other Christians,too.Together we can serve and honor God.

"Anytime Moses held his hands in the air,the men of Israel would win the fight." Exodus 17: 11a

PRAYER Father,help me to serve you today.In Jesus' name.Amen.

Our Barn ( 3)

The picture is name Barn.

Bible Reading : Psalm 32 : 1-11

Tearing down our barn was a big project.It took us a long time to pull down the roof and walls.We wanted to save most of the wood to use for our new barn.So,we had to tear things down slowly and carefully.

One day,though,while my father was pulling on a corner of the barn with our tractor,the rest of the barn fell down! We were thankful that no one was hurt.But everything was left in one big pile.It was a mess!

We spent many months clearing away the wood and preparing the place for the new barn.As we removed a large piece of the roof,I saw several things that were buried when the barn collapsed.One thing I saw was a light bulb.It was not even broken!The whole barn fell down around the bulb,but it did not beak.

This reminds me that God takes care of me.Sometimes bad things happen to me,but God keeps me safe.Verse 7 of our Bible Reading says, "God,you are a hiding place for me.You protect me from my troubles."

I hope you will let God protect you today.

" I will teach you and guide you on the way you should live.I will protect you and be your guide." Psalm 32.8b

PRAYER : God ,thank you for your protection.In Jesus' name.Amen.

Our Barn ( 2)

Bible Reading : Matthew 7 : 24-29

Yesterday I told you that my family decided to tear down our old barn.

One of the things that could not be fixed was the foundation.Through the year, the concrete foundation began to slide. It moved away from the walls.This made big cracks in the walls.Then the framework of the barn started to sink down with the foundation.

Finally,the walls began to pull away from the roof.Because the foundation was weak,the whole barn had to be torn down.We could not fix it.

In our Bible Reading today,Jesus told a s story about two men who built houses.The wise man built his house on rock.The foolish man built his house on the sand. When a strom came,the house on the sand fell down.Why? Because it did not have a strong foundation.

You need a strong foundation for your life.The only truly strong foundation is Jesus.He wants you to build your life on Him today!

It rained hard,the water rose ,and the winds blew and hit that house.And the house fell with a loud noise."Matthew 7:27

PRAYER: Dear God,help me to build my life on Your Son,Jesus.In His name.Amen.

Our Barn ( 1)

Bible Reading : James 4 : 13-17

My family and i live in the country.We used to have a big barn where we kept our houses. It was a very old barn.There were holes in the roof and walls.In the winter time,the wind and snow came through the holes.

My Family thought about fixing the old barn. But it would cost too much.So, finally we decided to tear down the barn and build a better one.

When I think about our old barn,it reminds me that nothing on earth lasts forever.Our barn was built very well. It was made with strong wood and concrete.But after many years it became weak.

Even our lives on earth are temporary. Verse 14 of our bible Reading says, " You don't know what will happen tommorow!" Your life is like a fog.You can see it for a short time, but then it goes away."

Things are temporary.But God's love is external.If we accept Jesus as our Savior, we will live forever with God.I hope that you have accepted Jesus as you Savior. Then you can experience His love forever.

Everyperson's life is only like a cloud that quickly disappears." Psalm 39: 5b

PRAYER : Dear God,Thank you for the promise of external life with you.In Jesus' name.Amen.

Sun and Son

Bible Reading : Revelation 22: 1-5

The words "sun" and "son" are spelled differently,but they sound alike. Let's look at these two words.

The sun is the center of our solar system.The sun gives us heat and light.Without the sun, the earth would die.If the earth were any closer to the sun,we would burn up.If the earth were any father away, we would freeze to death.Everything in our solar system depends on the sun.

Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus is the light that leads us to salvation.If we are Christians,Jesus should be the center of our lives.Without Jesus,we will die spiritually.All people need to depend on Jesus.

Revelation 21 : 23 tells us about the place the God has prepared for His followers. "The city did not need the sun or the moon to shine on it.The glory of God gives the city light. The Lamb (Jesus) is the city's lamp." Wow! Jesus,God's Son , will be the sun in heaven.

I hope that Jesus is the center of your life.If not,accpet Him as your Lord and Savior today.

Then Nathanael said to Jesus,"Teacher,you are the Son of God.You are the King of Israel(God's people)." John 1:49

PRAYER Heavenly Father,thank you for Jesus.Help me to make Him the center of my life.In His name.Amen
