"Again I say, Rejoice!"

Rejoicing is a supernatural force that opens the way for God to come on the scene. Not only will God fight our battles for us in the supernatural realm, but He will show up and fight our battles in the natural realm when we make the decision to rejoice..

But when you begin to rejoice, it makes everything clear. It brings life into focus and gives you the right perspective that God is on your side fighting your battles for you!

Today, choose to rejoice! Not because you have adversity, not because of your difficulties, but because God is bigger and stronger than anything that could come against you! Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, rejoice!

"Let God Settle It!"

Every person on earth has experienced difficulty. We've all had times when we've been hurt, wronged or taken advantage of. But God is a just God. Hebrews 10:30 tells us that He will repay us the exact compensation owed to us. He is the one to settle and solve the cases of His people.

Do you need a case settled today? Maybe you've had unfair things happen. Maybe somebody stole your childhood or left you with a bunch of children to raise by yourself. Perhaps a business partner cheated you, and you lost a lot of money. You could easily be angry and bitter, trying to pay them back. But instead, be encouraged because God is a just God. He knows every person who has hurt you. He has seen every person who has violated you or left you alone and afraid. Nobody else may have seen it, but God saw it; and He knew it wasn't right. Today, He is saying, "I'm going to settle your cases. I'm going to make your wrongs right."

God promised in Isaiah that He would pay you back double for every unfair thing that has happened. That means every person who has lied about you or tried to make you look bad, let it go because double is coming. Forgive the people who violated you because double is on its way.

Friend, God never brings you out the same; He always brings you out better. He will make the enemy pay for bringing that injustice into your life. Do your part and let it go. When you choose to forgive, you are handing everything over to God. When you forgive, you open the door for His forgiveness and redemption in your own live. Today, choose forgiveness and let God be your vindicator. Let Him settle your cases because He promises to repay you double in this life!

"Ketabahan itulah bertahan...
Kesabaran itulah menahan..
Berharap itulah menengadah..
Ketaatan itulah mempersiapkan diri untuk pergi atau melakukan..
Mendengar itulah diam dan tenang agar bisa mendengar..
Berapa lama, Tuhan, aku harus menanti??
Tidak apa-apa anakKu..Percayalah kepadaKu.."

-Quiet talks on prayer-
"When everything seems so wrong and difficult... Just believe in your faith.. believe in your good luck!!"
-Tante Abi & Yohard-
