1Cor 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Rom1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

Dear friend, do you know that the message of the cross is the gospel you and I heard today? It is all about the gift of salvation that redeems us from the darkness into light.
2015 years ago, the Son of God became Son of man, He came down from the heaven to earth, walked through the journey of life for 33 years on this earth just like you and me, solely because He loves you and sympathize with our weaknesses, He has been tempted in every way just as we are-yet was without sin.
That is JESUS CHRIST!
He died for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrow so that today you and I can live a life of worry-free and stress-free, knowing that the power of the cross has set us free;
He was pierced for our transgression so that we are now free from the punishment and there is now no more condemnation in Christ Jesus;
He was crushed for our iniquities to take away all our sins and by the power of the cross, our sins and lawless deeds God will remember no more;
He was been punished so that today you and I can live a life of peace for we no longer need to be punished;
By His wounds, we are healed!

Therefore, by the power of the cross, we are now healthy, wealthy, joyful, peaceful, and can live a life of abundance!
In Christ Jesus, we are highly favored, greatly blessed and deeply loved!

Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Take time to remember what Christ has done for you and I today, He came to bring us new life, and life more abundantly.
He came to do whatever that we could not by our own effort. The reason that He died is because of you, because He loves you,
because He saw the great satisfaction and joy ahead, therefore He chose to walk up to the cross for you. God never demonstrate
His love by only talking, but how He demonstrated it: while you were still sinner, Jesus died for you. While you were still in your most
undeserving state, He chose to die for you. He gave up His life so that you can have life, He was dead so that you can be alive, He was
being crushed and beaten so that you can be wholeness and health, He was being despised and shamed so that today you can lift up
your head. Therefore, take time to remember Him today, that is how much that He loves you!

Psalm 89:9- You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them.

What are the waves that mounted up before you now? Fear? The seriousness of your medical report?
The great lack? Whatever it is, do not be afraid and don't worry. Do you know that one word from Jesus is
able to calm the storms and quiet down the sea? Likewise, as you dwell yourself in the word of Jesus,
His one word will be able to calm and still your problems! Remember that when God says light, and there's light;
Even great darkness has no chance to stay! Likewise, when He said you are healed, you are! When He said you shall
live in abundance, you are! For God is able to still that fear, turn your bad report to good report, and supply your
needs more than you ask and think of! Trust Him and know that He will never fail!

申命记31：8耶和华必在你前面行，祂必与你同在，必不撇下你，也不丢弃你。不要惧怕，也并不要惊慌。

从此刻开始，我们正在进入一个新的季节中，上帝要向我們显明祂那最純全美善的旨意。祂向我们所怀的意念永远是那赐平安的意念，要叫我们的生命有指望（耶利米书29：11）。也許现在你心里有蓝图與梦想，你一直在祈祷如何前进，如何落实它。相信在这个新的季节里，神会引导你前方的道路，只要我們持持续不断的祷告，学习信靠祂，神也必帮助我們。
诗篇25：12谁敬畏耶和华，耶和华必指示他当选择的道路。
重新燃起你内心的动力，当你让神的话紮根在你心里，美好的事就要发生了，而你的任务就是凭着信心的眼界，相信神会一步步带领你。

“我们行善，不可喪志；若不灰心，到了時候就要收成”。 （加拉太书6：9）

Psalm 84:10- Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere...

Today you are to know that Jesus never leave you or forsake you, He has promised
you that He will never ever leave you without support and He will never ever fail you!
This is Jesus, the one who loves you deeply, accepts who you were and chose to die for
you at the cross. We can spend our days dwelling in the presence of our problems, thinking
and reasoning all the way through. But do you know that when you're dwelling and spending
time in the presence of your problems, it will not empower you but tearing you down!
On the other hand, one day in the presence of The Lord is far more better than thousand days
laboring elsewhere; today being in the presence of the Word is equal to being in the presence of
The Lord, dwell in His Word and you shall find life and breakthroughs!

诗篇60：12-我们倚靠神，才得施展大能，因为践踏我们敌人的就是祂。
哥林多前书15：57感谢神，使我们藉着我们的主耶稣基督得胜。

一个人面对仇敌，当要去胜过，上帝应许他必定获胜，因为胜利在耶稣基督里已经成就了。这是何等的振奋人心！哥林多后书10-：3因为我们虽然在血气中行事，却不凭着血气争战。我们打的是思想上的争战，就是要治死我们的老我，以及消极负面的思想等，把我们的思想模式调转过来，认的神才是我们的源头，我们都是亚伯拉罕的后裔，是凭着应许承受产业的（加拉太书3：29）！哈利路亚！
我们不得不承認，我们旧有的惡习，以及挥之不去的心魔，常常会轄制我们，叫我们不得自由，但靠着上帝的恩典，我们必能抵挡各样来自恶者的谎言，无论它以怎样的形式来引诱试探，我们里面的圣灵会叫我们分辨真伪。
哥林多前书2：12我们所领受的，并不是世上的灵，乃是从神来的，叫我们能知道神开恩赐给我们的事。
若我们仍做罪的奴仆，就无法享受义人该有的福份；若仍带着锁链在身，仍算是个俘虜，若心中仍有罪的牵绊，就无法真正享受生命；但感谢神，因着基督的一次献祭，我们是与罪一刀两断了，切断任何与罪有牵连的瓜葛，治死每一个枷锁。上帝若与我们同在，谁能抵挡我们呢(罗马书8：31)？ 所以我可以放胆说，我必不惧怕，没有任何的人或环境，能离间我们与神之间亲密的关系。罪的权势在上帝的光中，必站立不住。阿门！

Micah 7:19- You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.

Who says you are still an old sinner that was being saved by grace? You are no longer a sinner in Christ
for you have been purchased with a price and that costs Jesus' life! Therefore, you no longer need to
count your sins daily and living under condemnation. For all wrath and condemnation has been poured out
on Jesus when He was at the cross. So, you have to be sure that when the judgment has poured on Jesus,
It will not fall upon you anymore! You are redeemed!
Therefore, in Christ there's no longer condemnation, your identity has changed from a sinner to a righteous
man in Christ! So, when Jesus has tread your sins underfoot and throw all your iniquities into the deep sea,
why would you hold on to it? You're set free my friend, not because of how good you are but how good Jesus is!

Jeremiah 31:3 The Lord appeared to us in the past saying:" I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness."

Dear friend, have you ever received a love letter before? What is your response when you receive a love letter? How do you feel when someone says that he/she loves you? Isn't it sweet and glad?
Do you know that there is a 100% man and 100% God-Jesus, who loves you so much that He willing to come down from heaven to earth, live in this world just to sympathize all your weaknesses, and finally walked to the cross just for the sake of bearing all your sins and shame simply because He loves you and want to redeem you by sacrificing His own life?

Today, we all are actually have a love letter that remains forever-BIBLE. In this love letter, it has stated what your lover-JESUS, has done for you.
From the first page of BIBLE to the last page of BIBLE actually revealing the coming of JESUS, how JESUS was sent to the world to save you, what did JESUS does to make our life different and after all is how much HE loves you!
The love God has for you and me is not based on the performance we have but is solely depending on the everlasting love that never changed!

Therefore, no matter what is your past, regardless what are you facing right now, the love of God will never changed!
What He has written and promised are all yours and they remain forever!
When you believe, that is when you receive.

V18押撒过门的时候，劝丈夫向她父亲求一块田。押撒一下驴，迦勒问她说：你要什么？v19她说：“求你赐福給我，你既將我安置在南地，求你也給我水泉”。她父亲就把上泉下泉赐給她”。（约书亚记15：18~19）

押撒所得的地是『南地』── 一块在烈日之下非常炎熱干燥之地。她父親給了他水泉，從此山上有不竭的泉水流下來使全地涼爽、肥沃了。
我們所处的環境，无论如何炎热、荒芜、艰难、痛苦、寂寞、平庸，我们总能有喜乐和祝福的，因为天父已经把活水的泉源赐給我们了。

诗篇36：9 因为，在祢那里有生命的源头；在祢的光中，我们必得见光。

大卫被扫罗追杀，却仍能赞美神，没有埋怨，他倚靠耶和华，心里坚固（撒母耳记上卅6）。
哈巴谷虽然看见无花果树不发旺，葡萄树不结果，橄榄树也不效力，田地不出粮食，圈中绝了羊，棚内也没有牛，他仍能唱说：「然而我要因耶和华欢欣，因救我的上帝喜乐」。他知道主耶和华是他力量的源头。（哈巴谷书3：17-19）
保罗在逼迫患难中乃能靠着主常常喜乐，因为他知道他的神是谁，他说：『我知道怎样处卑贱，也知道怎样处丰富，或饱足，或饥饿，或有余，或缺乏，随事随在，我都得了秘诀』(腓立比书4：12)

无论你面对什么困难，无论你跌倒了多少次，但別忘了：基督已经为你成了赎罪祭，如今你是天上的国民（腓立比书3：20），你是神的子民，配的拥有一切丰盛的应许。阿门!
