Dear Beloved in Christ @ BLC,

God’s Word has all the promises in it for us to be saved, healed, prospered, delivered and blessed.  We have to believe all the promises of God are for us.  In this natural world, man has come up with temporary solutions that are alternatives to the promises of God.  We as children need to trust our Daddy God for everything.  On Fridays, I have started a series on how to practice our faith muscles to build endurance to have God’s sozo (Greek for salvation means whole salvation: healed prospered, delivered, and blessed) work for us.  Sometimes we give up too early; sometimes we are so close to the victory and loose hope and never get to see the victory.  Sometimes we doubt God’s faithfulness and the integrity of His Word. 

Dear Beloved, we can trust God and His Word with our lives!  He is ever so faithful and trustworthy!  Would you today and this week commit your lives to trust God and His word for your circumstances!  Don’t fall on the alternatives; they are there for you to opt out of your hope in God’s Word.  Lean on Jesus for everything.  He is everything for us. 

Have a blessed week with Jesus!!!

Hopeful together in Jesus,

Pastor Sam

We find in the Word God's greatness as a powerfull theme .

Dear Beloved in Christ @BLC,

Someone reminded me yesterday that it was India’s Independence Day.  I asked the question “is India free, or any other country for that matter? Yes physically there might be some external freedom people have received.  In the Gospel of John 8:36 Jesus makes one of the most powerful statements about Himself and us:  “So if the Son {Jesus} sets you free, you will be free indeed.” The Son of God is the only One who makes one truly free. 

For those who have experienced this freedom in your spirits, I want to ask few other questions: Are you living to the full extent of Christian life?  Is your value system matches the value system of the Son of God?  Are you growing in the grace of God?  Are you living in fear or anything or anyone?  Are you exercising your faith of the Son of God who loved you and gave Himself for you?

Let’s experience the fullness and abundance of God on this side of eternal life!  The One who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world.  If any of the above questions ring a bell in your hearts and you would like to know more on the fullness of Christ, please write back.  There are plenty of resources and many things to learn. 

Have a powerful blessed week in Christ!

Pastor Sam

Dear Beloved in Christ,

Jesus is the glory of God manifestation on this earth.  Jesus is the manifestation of God’s love on this earth.  He is the superlative of everything God has.  We relate to Him so close because He became like one of us.  He made sure He was portraying His Father to us. Jesus emphatically would say that my Father and I are one (Jn.10:30). 

The Holy Spirit’s primary role is to reveal Jesus to all of us and to reveal Father God’s heart to us.  Lacking in this glorious revelation would cause us to live with the orphan spirit of fear and not find our identity in Christ.  Jesus knew who He was and we need to know who we are.  Who are we?  We are the children of the Father God who loves us so intimately and lavishly that a small glimpse of this love revelation would cause us to live like Jesus on this earth.    Jesus lived fearlessly, with the fullness of God.   He lived like the first Adam yet with more authority and faith.  His purpose of coming was that we too live like Him, with love of God in our hearts and authority.  Fear should not govern our hearts but the love and awe of God. 

Today, would you ask the Lord to reveal this plan of Him?  Ask the Lord to show if following things that are fear related are anywhere near in your life’s radar. 

Examine your fear:  If you are living in fear of uncertainty of tomorrow, fear of dying, fear of Satan, fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of disapproval, fear of lack of finances, fear of the death of a loved one, fear of not loving or being loved, fear of confrontation, fear of going crazy, fear of losing my salvation, etc. (taken from Steps to Freedom booklet by Neil Anderson)

If anyone of them is governing your life, simply reject them and ask the Lord to replace it with His love and awe because God has not given us the spirit of fear but of love, power and self –control (2Tim. 1:7).

Pray this with me:  Lord Jesus, I admit that I have allowed fear to govern me and I did not trust you.  I relinquish or renounce this fear(s) of_______ in my life.  I trust in your unfailing love, power and self-control that you have given me.  In the Name of the Lord Jesus I pray, Amen.

I would love to hear from you if this simple exercise helped you in any way.  May be you know someone who has these fears.  Help them and send a testimony of God’s faithfulness.

In God’s eternal love,

Pastor Sam

*Scripture reveals that we will be eternally worshipping and praising God.  Seraphim, cherubims and angels are 24/7 praising and worshipping God. 

This Friday Nite we will be having a special Praise and Worship service this week:  All Night Praise and Worship will start at 8- 12pm (or until we are done).  We will have dinner from 7-8pm.

*This month, on Sundays, I will be teaching a series on the Kingdom of God order.  If you are in any leadership of BLC or would like to be in, I would ask you to not miss any sessions.  The Series would include practical things of how our individual lives, marriage, and Church should run under Kingdom order.

Dear Beloved in Christ,

We are on a journey on knowing the Lord personally and His Kingdom.  Jesus brought the Kingdom of God with Him and asked His disciples to pray on those same lines. “Your Kingdom come and let your will be done on earth as it is heaven” (Matt.6:10). After He finished His work on the earth and before leaving, He said and commissioned His disciples to go and make disciples of all nations.  He told them to teach others to obey everything He has commanded them.  We need to know what all Jesus taught His disciples from the Word of God. Because we too are His children and disciples, we need to learn all that He wants us to learn so we experience the fullness of God and abundance He intended for us NOW.

Jesus came to finish the reign of the devil on the mankind and said, “All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to me.”(Matt 28:18b). We need to learn that Jesus defeated the devil and his power of sin and death from our lives.  We need to learn this intentionally so when the enemy who is defeated tells us that we are defeated, hopeless and fearful, we can boldly declare the Word of God that we are God’s children and God has not given us the spirit of fear but of love, power and self control. (Jn.1:12:13; and 2 Tim. 1:7).  We need to know that ALL authority in Heaven and on earth now belongs to Jesus.

Dear Beloved, I want you to know that Heaven is a real place and has its own culture, atmosphere, and environment.  The whole culture of Heaven is centered on God.  He is the object and permeation that seeps into every atom of Heaven.  The reason God wants us to know Him so personally and His Kingdom is so we can experience the Kingdom NOW on this earth and have our eternal life begin for us NOW.   Don’t let anyone tell us that eternal life is only in heaven.  Eternal life can begin for us NOW, it starts with having an intimate and intentional relationship with God and His Son Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit (Jn.17:3).  The next thing is to learn everything Jesus taught His immediate disciples.  Jesus taught and preached about the Kingdom of Heaven and healed everyone who believed in Him.  That is the culture Jesus produced around Him.  I pray that each one of us would have this longing in us to see this as happening in our generation.  Let me encourage you by saying that many generations has carried this out in small measures but as we draw closer to the Lord’s Day, we will see a greater and powerful measure and  atmosphere in our generation.

This is so exciting!  I hope you think and pray on these lines as well.

Together in His Kingdom,

Pastor Sam
