Because Jesus Christ Died and Rose Again, You can have new life!

"For 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 Bible, John 3:16

As Jesus hung on the cross, the last person He spoke to was a prisoner who was being executed alongside Him. Even while suffering in horrible pain, Jesus cared enough to forgive the man and promise him a place in Heaven.

Jesus wants to do the same for you. Just ask Him to forgive your sins and become the Lord of your life. You can have peace with God and the assurance of a new life now - and forever.

I am praying that the love of Jesus Christ will touch you and your family this Easter. May you find new life in Him.

มิตรภาพที่แท้จริง .. เพื่อนของฉันคือพระเยซู พระองค

ฉันเป็นคนที่เชื่อว่าโลกนี้มีทั้ง เพื่อนจริงเพื่อนแท้ และเพื่อนไม่จริง ฉันรักเพื่อนของฉัน และเชื่อว่าเพื่อนเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของการอวยพรที่ยิ่งใหญ่ของพระเจ้า ที่เราได้รับนอกเหนือจากความรอด เพื่อนแท้จะเข้ามาในช่วงที่แต่ละคนมีปัญหา และมีความอ่อนแอ เพื่อนแท้จะยืนอยู่ข้างๆคุณในเวลาที่คุณผ่านสถานการณ์ที่ยาก
ฉัน ไม่เชื่อในคำกล่าวที่ว่า " เมื่อคุณอยู่ในความยุ่งยากใจ หรือ สถานการณ์ที่ยาก หรือ บางครั้งเกิดความผิดพลาดกับคุณ ก็เพราะว่า คุณไม่เกิดผล และพระเจ้าไม่รักคุณ"
แต่ในข้อพระคัมภีร์ กล่าวว่า
1 ยอห์น 1:6-9
1:6 ถ้าเราจะว่าเราร่วมสามัคคีธรรมกับพระองค์ และยังดำเนินอยู่ในความมืด เราก็พูดมุสา และไม่ได้ดำเนินชีวิตตามความจริง
1:7 แต่ถ้าเราดำเนินอยู่ในความสว่าง เหมือนอย่างพระองค์ทรงสถิตในความสว่าง เราก็ร่วมสามัคคีธรรมซึ่งกันและกัน และพระโลหิตของพระเยซูคริสต์พระบุตรของพระองค์ ก็ชำระเราทั้งหลายให้ปราศจากบาปทั้งสิ้น
1:8 ถ้าเราทั้งหลายจะว่าเราไม่มีบาป เราก็หลอกตัวเอง และความจริงไม่ได้อยู่ในเราเลย
1:9 ถ้าเราสารภาพบาปของเรา พระองค์ทรงสัตย์ซื่อและเที่ยงธรรม ก็จะทรงโปรดยกบาปของเรา และจะทรงชำระเราให้พ้นจากการอธรรมทั้งสิ้น
1:10 ถ้าเรากล่าวว่าเราไม่ได้ทำบาป ก็เท่ากับว่าเราทำให้พระองค์เป็นผู้ตรัสมุสา และพระดำรัสของพระองค์ก็มิได้อยู่ในเราทั้งหลายเลย
มาระโก 11:24-26
11:24 เหตุฉะนั้นเราบอกท่านทั้งหลายว่า ขณะเมื่อท่านจะอธิษฐานขอสิ่งใด จงเชื่อว่าได้รับ และท่านจะได้รับสิ่งนั้น
11:25 เมื่อ ท่านยืนอธิษฐานอยู่ ถ้าท่านมีเหตุกับผู้หนึ่งผู้ใด จงยกโทษให้ผู้นั้นเสีย เพื่อพระบิดาของท่าน ผู้ทรงสถิตในสวรรค์ จะโปรดยกการละเมิดของท่านด้วย
11:26 แต่ถ้าท่านทั้งหลายไม่ยกโทษให้ พระบิดาของท่าน ผู้ทรงสถิตในสวรรค์ จะไม่ทรงโปรดยกการละเมิดของท่านเหมือนกัน"
ฉัน มีผิด. ฉันได้รับการอภัยจากพ่อพระเจ้าผ่านพระเจ้าของฉันและไถ่บาปพระเยซูคริสต์, พระองค์บุตร. ดังนั้นฉันไม่สามารถคิดของผู้อื่นที่น้อยกว่าฉัน. ทุกคนจะถูกสร้างโดยพระองค์และต้องรัก.

ฉันต้องการให้คุณทราบพระ เจ้ารักคุณเกินไปและหากท่านต้องการเรียนรู้เกี่ยว กับความรักของพระเจ้าและเกี่ยวกับสิ่งที่เขาได้กระทำสำหรับคุณโปรดถามฉัน.

พระเจ้าเป็นที่ทรงพลังมากขึ้นกว่าเจ็บไข้. ยังพระองค์คือมากกว่าทุกสิ่งที่คุณได้กระทำทั้งขวาและผิด.
มัทธิว 9:12-13
9:12 เมื่อพระเยซูทรงได้ยินเช่นนั้นจึงตรัสกับพวกเขาว่า "คนปกติไม่ต้องการหมอ แต่คนเจ็บป่วยต้องการหมอ
9:13 ท่าน ทั้งหลายจงไปเรียนรู้ความหมายของข้อความที่ว่า `เราประสงค์ความเมตตา ไม่ประสงค์เครื่องสัตวบูชา' ด้วยว่าเรามิได้มาเพื่อจะเรียกคนชอบธรรม แต่มาเรียกคนบาปให้กลับใจเสียใหม่"
1 ทิโมธี 2:1-6
2:1 เหตุฉะนั้นก่อนสิ่งอื่นใด ข้าพเจ้าขอเตือนสติท่านทั้งหลายให้วิงวอนอธิษฐานทูลขอ และขอบพระคุณเพื่อคนทั้งปวง
2:2 เพื่อกษัตริย์ทั้งหลายและคนทั้งปวงที่มีตำแหน่งสูง เพื่อเราจะได้ดำเนินชีวิตอย่างเงียบๆและสงบสุข ในทางที่เป็นอย่างพระเจ้าและอย่างซื่อสัตย์
2:3 การเช่นนี้เป็นการดีและเป็นที่ชอบในสายพระเนตรของพระเจ้า พระผู้ช่วยให้รอดของเรา
2:4 ผู้ทรงมีพระประสงค์ให้คนทั้งปวงรอด และให้มาถึงความรู้ในความจริงนั้น
2:5 ด้วยเหตุว่า มีพระเจ้าองค์เดียวและมีคนกลางแต่ผู้เดียวระหว่างพระเจ้ากับมนุษย์ คือพระเยซูคริสต์ผู้ทรงสภาพเป็นมนุษย์
2:6 ผู้ทรงประทานพระองค์เองเป็นค่าไถ่สำหรับคนทั้งปวง เหตุการณ์นี้เป็นพยานในเวลาอันเหมาะ
ยอห์น 14:6
14:6 พระเยซูตรัสกับเขาว่า "เราเป็นทางนั้น เป็นความจริง และเป็นชีวิต ไม่มีผู้ใดมาถึงพระบิดาได้นอกจากมาทางเรา
ยอห์น 3:16
3:16 เพราะว่า พระเจ้าทรงรักโลก จนได้ทรงประทานพระบุตรองค์เดียวของพระองค์ที่บังเกิดมา เพื่อผู้ใดที่เชื่อในพระบุตรนั้นจะไม่พินาศ แต่มีชีวิตนิรันดร์
คุณต้องการรู้จักพระเยซู? แจ้งให้เราทราบและฉันจะบอกคุณเกี่ยวกับพระองค์.
มัทธิว 11:28-29
11:28 บรรดาผู้ทำงานเหน็ดเหนื่อยและแบกภาระหนัก จงมาหาเรา และเราจะให้ท่านทั้งหลายหายเหนื่อยเป็นสุข
11:29 จงเอาแอกของเราแบกไว้ แล้วเรียนจากเรา เพราะว่าเรามีใจอ่อนสุภาพและถ่อมลง และท่านทั้งหลายจะพบที่สงบสุขในใจของตน

True Friendship, and the one who will love you no matter what.

I am a person who believes that real friends are friends forever, or they are not really friends. I love my friends and believe friends are one of the biggest blessings one can receive from God besides salvation. Real friends come to understand each person has imperfections, and stand with their friends through the most difficult situations.

I do not believe it is in the right of any person to say "You are in pain, sorrow or difficulty, or you sometimes make some mistakes, therefore you are useless and God does not love you."

1 John 1:6-9 says:
"If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

Mark 11:24-26:
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."

I am not a person without faults, and I have been forgiven by the Father God through my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, His son. Therefore I cannot think of others as less than me, as everyone is created by Him and needs to be loved.

I want you to know, God loves you too, and if you would like to learn about God's love, and about what He has done for you, feel free to ask me.

No sickness or past deeds are beyond the Father's forgiveness.

Matthew 9 states:
" 12 On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

1 Timothy 2:1-6 "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its proper time."

John 14:6 "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

John 3:16 "For 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."

Do you want to know Jesus? Ask me.

Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

How to Deal with Unforgiveness

Matthew 6:9-15 

9 "This, then, is how you should pray:
   " 'Our Father in heaven,
   hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
   your will be done
      on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 Forgive us our debts,
      as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
   but deliver us from the evil one. 14 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Scripture clearly teaches that we are to forgive those who hurt us. So let's identify practical ways to confront the matter of unforgiveness head-on. You may want to keep this list in your Bible or close by for easy review. 

1. Take it seriously. Unforgiveness is a major issue that shouldn't be casually dismissed.

2. Assume full responsibility. Don't blame anyone else for your feelings and actions.

3. Confess it honestly. Be specific and direct with God about what you feel, and acknowledge that unforgiveness is sin. Don't "soften" the matter or let yourself off the hook (don't pretend it's no big deal to remain in unforgiveness).

4. Lay down your anger. Unless you deal with your resentment, bitterness can re-enter your life later on.

5. Pray for the other person. This may feel impossible and unnatural, but do it anyway. Praying is a choice to act lovingly, regardless of how you are treated. This will impact your entire relationship.

6. Ask that individual to forgive you. If the other person knows that you've been harboring bitterness, you need to ask for his or her forgiveness.

7. Do something nice for that person. Let a loving gesture demonstrate your desire to restore the relationship.

8. Don't allow Satan to throw you back into unforgiveness. Once the matter is resolved, watch out for stray thoughts that could stir up memories of how the other person hurt you.

This process isn't easy, but it works. If you go through these steps every time you are hurt, God will truly work miracles in your relationships.

Testimony and a word to share with you.

There is a verse the Lord gave me many times through His servants. First through one friend who is with Him now when I wrote this to Him:

Father God, I call to You,
Listen to my troubled mind
Consider my pain and sorrow.

You are my God, my everything.
You are there in every circumstance.
You hear me even when I do not hear You.

I await your answers and wisdom.
I will be nowhere without You.
Draw me closer, draw nearer to me.

Give me understanding and discernment.
Calm my anxious head, forgive my worries.
Help me to trust you more and fully.

Can I call a friend and get peace?
No, only from you can I find relief.
I find rest only in You.

You will take vengeance upon the enemy,
For they have done much to cause trouble,
They wish to ruin your plan, so they cast stones.

The enemy will not win, because your strength is greater,
Nothing can overpower You, you will raise me up,
You will feed me with your strength and sound mind.

Through You I will succeed and find the solution.
This stone from the enemy will crumble beneath my feet,
As your power flows through me, and restores my soul.

Lead me through this storm, and bring me out a warrior.
Rise me up from your mercies and power and use me by your will.
Send your Holy Spirit, and refresh me and train me in this fire.

You will, I know, praise You Lord!
Nothing compares to You and I will grow strong;
As You remain, I will succeed by your hand.

Thank You Lord for not leaving me.
Praise You for your mercy and grace.
Your kindness and love never cease.

Nothing I can write can truly describe You.
Thanks for being here with me in my troubles.
There is none like You.

Then He gave it to me again through another friend who has a good heart for reaching the poor and lost for Him. Here is what He gave me:

Lamentations 3:24-33

24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance;
therefore, I will hope in him!”

25 The Lord is good to those who depend on him,
to those who search for him.
26 So it is good to wait quietly
for salvation from the Lord.
27 And it is good for people to submit at an early age
to the yoke of his discipline:

28 Let them sit alone in silence
beneath the Lord’s demands.
29 Let them lie face down in the dust,
for there may be hope at last.
30 Let them turn the other cheek to those who strike them
and accept the insults of their enemies.

31 For no one is abandoned
by the Lord forever.
32 Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion
because of the greatness of his unfailing love.
33 For he does not enjoy hurting people
or causing them sorrow.

Recently the Lord had me read Exodus 3:1-14 and the Lord reminded me to look at the verses in Lamentations that day through there. The last time God had me look at those verses in Lamentations, He notified me that I will do work in missions, it seems it is short-term missions. It came on my heart to study Thai and Chinese.. That day I heard it very clearly that I must learn Thai language and prepare for missions. I can tell you these verses in Lamentations the Lord has proven to me in my experiences He does not abandon, and though I had walked through the valley of the shadow of death, God anoints me and I am receiving His blessings abundantly, even that I receive rest and eat in the presence of the enemy, because He is with me. God has shown me great mercy. Because of His unfailing love I have seen much change over the past few weeks. Great things I have seen for all the time I have been waiting on Him and obeying Him. It truly is good to submit to Him. The Lord is faithful and loves His children, and rewards those who seek Him (Hebrews 11:5-7)

Therefore I must obey the Lord and learn the Thai language and prepare for missions now.

I can tell you God is doing great things in Thailand. He is bringing His people back to Him. The Lord is sending more workers and many Thai people are coming to Jesus. He will harvest His people for His glory. Many Thai people are coming out of bondage and darkness to serve Him and join His army. To be His bride, the bride of Christ. Nothing will stop what the Lord has started. Many will see even now, that He is the Lord, and He alone is God, and He is there, here, and everywhere. God is with them wherever they will go. The time of the harvest for His people is at hand. It is a time of breaking through the darkness to His light. A time of deliverance and salvation. A time for callings to be known. More people will know what they are to do for the Lord, and He will be glorified. This is His plan, and the time for fulfillment is at hand.

The Lord is sending me too. Please pray for me that I will diligently prepare for this and learn well. I want to do as the Lord has called me to do. He alone is my portion, my source, my life, and I have a strong conviction to help others find Him too. God bless you.

His Mercy Endures Forever..

A journey of time, a path hard that winds,
Through fog and darkness, and difficulty's menace,
There is One that always remains.

The Lord He never leaves or forsakes His children.
When we listen and obey, persevere with faith,
We find more and more of his mercy and grace.

In winding direction, unknown connections,
The narrow gate is not late.
He is the Way, the Truth the Life,
And that which He begins will not end.

In every situation, sadness and frustration,
Nothing is to difficult for the Lord God.

I've made mistakes, sometimes lost my way,
But Father God saved the day.

He brought me love, finances and friendship.
Salvation, shelter, finances and food.
Improving health, a changing mind, leaving confusion and fear behind.
He has not forgotten nor ever left me.
I am weak, but He is strong, and in Him, His strength I gain.

I owe my life, everything to Jesus, to my God who saves me.

This past month has been full of His grace and mercy,
Miracles, encouragement, and intimacy with Him.
I cannot forget what He has done, that in Him I am victorious and won.
The Lord who saves me and loves me so, through the Bible and experience I know.

Where is God? He is here, He is there, and everywhere.
No weapon formed against me will prosper.
I've been chosen to share His Word, to share His love with the world.
The time has come, the time of change, and we will never be the same.

His army, His purpose, His plan is set in motion, and no matter our circumstances, or personal view, what God says is done, and nothing will stand in the way.

Without Him is no peace..Know Him, know peace. Do you know Jesus? Are you sure?

Jesus said "I am the Way, the Truth, the Life. No man comes to the Father but by me." -John 14:6
It is written, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have eternal life." -John 3:16

Come to Jesus, follow Him, and nothing will be the same. Walk in Him, walk in the Light, and you will find abundant life. He has done it for me, and He will do it for you. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

God is here within His people, the time of change is at hand.

The time is here the time is now, in this hour to see His face.
A new beginning, a new thing He does, it's here by His glory and grace.
The time of change is at hand, as He builds His army and prepares His bride.
Don't you know, don't you see, God is near with you and me.
He has brought forth this time of change. A time of proclamation, restoration is made.
He's called forth people from around the world, from hidden and unexpected places.
The time is now the time is here, and there within is many faces.
Oh it is not a phase, though it is a season, it's harvest time and for His reasons.

The time is here, the time is now, come dwell with the Lord Jesus and find out how.
Within His purpose, within His plan, the time of new beginnings is in the land.
Far and wide, and near from all sides, the time of His from within His hands.

"A new thing I do in this time, a new beginning, refreshing you will find.
Forgive, forget and dwell in Me, for the time of change is happening across the seas.
Within this hour, I send my power, within this hour is my Glory Shower.
Praise, shout, proclaim and sing! For the time of glory of the King."

God has come and sends us forth, we are the warriors and priests of the Lord.
The time of change is at hand, a time He's proclaimed and we shall stand.
His purpose too, His plan is here, it will not be broken by any spirit of the air.
No weapon formed against us will prosper, for it now is to be shown,
The authority over serpents and scorpions known.
The time is here, the time is now, the hour of His power is here and now.
We are protected by His grace, and through us, many will see His face.
The time has come, and His army is readied, for it's by His strength, nor ours that we are steadied.
Don't you see, do you feel it? Its all around and His time is now. It is time, it is done, the change to the new phase has begun.
Nothing can stop what the Lord has set forth into being, and now it is many will be seeing.
Some denied before they would, but now they will see what it is they should.
Some will fight because of pride, but into brokenness a release and change will come by His side this holy tide.
A new beginning has arisen this day, for it is time and I must say.
What is given is by God's grace and purpose, and now we will see His glory with us.
The time is now, it is His hour, His plan of reconciliation, repentance, and provision is here.
A time of change is in this hour, the army comes forth by His power.
Within this time it is seen, of all these things listed above and we will sing.
We will sing, we will march, we will praise and His glory bring, for the time is now, it's His new thing.
What was stolen by Satan is restored, and what does not belong is removed and beneath our feet we trample the prince of the power of the air.
Within our grasp is His authority, by His proclamation, He is the King of Kings.
Who is the King of Glory? It is He. He is with us and nothing will shut up what He has started.
For it is the time of bursting forth, His army, His bride, His Glory tonight.
The enemy yes they will fight, but by His power they will take flight.
We are the warriors and priests of His, and nothing will stop what from Him comes.
The time is now, and this time is His, and now see His Glory show all around.
The time is now, it will not and cannot be stopped, for He has decreed to harvest His crop.
What has begun in this time, will continue for He says "You are Mine."
Within this time comes bursting forth, His power and glory from East, West, South and North.
The time is here, the time is now, draw near to Him and see it now.
A time of grace and proclamation, a time of change throughout the nations.
For by His Name and by His power, He has called His plan forth this very hour.
The army stands, and marches forward, for the time of His calling to step onward!
Do not be afraid for it is Him, and what is for Him and by Him is bringing new strength within.
God has called you and me, many from here and overseas. We are His children for Him to please, and what He has set forth from His seeds.
The time is now, the time is here, the time of the Fear of the Lord is here.
The enemies will cower, and they will scatter for nothing can stand in the way of His blooming flowers.
As a mustard seed was small and harvests much, the time of His power is of such.
The time of His power and glory, it is now and it is here,
Proclaim to the nations His plan is here.
Nothing can stop the Lord and His ways, and now so it begins on this day.
