GOD IS THE FUEL OF MY LIFE, AND HE CAN BE FOR YOU, TOO, IF YOU DO THIS
GOD IS THE FUEL OF MY LIFE AND CAN BE FOR YOU WHEN YOU GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO WORK.
By Chris Briscoe
Christianity is the most practical of all religions because its believers do not just believe in the words of a ‘old, holy book’ reputedly written by its God, or a prophet of God, but actually can experience his power in their lives - the power of his love which promises to give them an indescribable peace whenever they are faced with what seems like a hopeless situation.
If you have studied the claims of Christianity you will find out that God’s plan or blueprint for your life is the greatest experience and transformation of our lives: from weakness to strength, from hopelessness to the greatest hope, comfort, peace and joy.
You may believe this or may not, however, please let me give you a word of caution: the nature of this religion called Christianity is, that God and Christ reveal themselves supernaturally by performing a miracle in man's heart, to him or her who invites God's Spirit into their life and emotions - who ask him to show his power to them in their heart, in their spirit; that's important because the Bible clearly states that the man without the Spirit of God cannot know God; this is because only when we have received God's Spirit, can we know and discern God and his ways - without which we are spiritually illiterate.
In the Bible book of 1 Corinthians 2:14, it says,"The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him and he cannot understand them for they are spiritually discerned." That's the reason the atheist is content to stay atheist, because he will never understand until his sight is corrected and gets a new perspective and a corrected vision; or in other words, until his faulty receiver is repaired; until he asks God to come into his heart and repair his faulty reveiver -that part of him called his spirit which communicates with God. And then God shows himself to him by opening his spiritual eyes to spiritual reality; until then, you have more hope in persuading a man who is colour blind to understand what the colour red looks like, when he's never seen red and never experienced the colour of red.
That's why the Bible can be difficult to understand, especially for the atheist because the Bible tells us that the only way you can understand spiritual matters is if you first receive the Spirit of God, for the words and spiritual teaching of the Bible can only be received by the man or woman who has the Spirit of God, for they are spiritually discerned; in other words, the truth in the Bible can only be understood by the one who has the Spirit of God; it means if you are an unbeliever and you say you don’t want to believe because the Bible is too difficult to understand, then you will never understand the Bible, with that attitude.
For some, the Bible is archaic, for others, the Bible is difficult to grasp in meaning for it teaches many things which remain a mystery. Of course, I would expect the Bible to be mysterious for the man who has not received the Spirit of God.For the Bible says that the man without the Spirit cannot discern God. Listen to this: “The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to hm, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Corinthians 2:14)
It probably is mysterious, or the Bible will remain mysterious, especially for the atheists because the Bible tells us that the only way you can understand spiritual matters is if you first receive the Spirit of God, for the Words and spiritual teaching of the Bible can only be received by the man or woman who has the Spirit of God, for they are spiritually discerned;in other words, the truth in the Bible can only be understood by the one who has the Spirit of God; it means if you are an unbeliever and you say you don’t want to believe because the Bible is too difficult to understand, then you will never understand the Bible, with that attitude.
Let me give you an illustration:
If we lived in a world where we did have, from time to time, visitations from aliens, then how can we understand them unless we are acquainted with their language? In the same way, how can we understand God’s language unless we are acquainted with his Spirit; for the Bible tells us that it is only the Spirit within a man and the Holy Spirit within us that knows the thoughts of man and God. The Bible says, “The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:10a-11)
It’s like expecting us to understand the language of an alien without having learned its language.
So, first we need to ask God to deposit his sweet Spirit into our spirit so that our eyes can be opened. Until then, we remain spiritually blind. And if you find you don’t have faith to ask, then just ask him for the gift of faith, which are among the many gifts he gives us to help us believe and help us in the many struggles we face in life - the many gifts of his grace.
The Bible tells us that we can be saved by grace through faith - and this faith is a gift God deposits into our hearts through grace which means his unmerited favour.
Listen to this from the book of Ephesians 2:8-10, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (NIV = New International Version)
You too can receive this grace gift from God by praying the following prayer,
“God, if you really exist and you have all power to do anything in this universe, then show me who you are and send me some of your power so that my life will be changed for the good. if you exist then open up my blind eyes and spirit to your love so that I would receive a miracle and you would send me your power and your Spirit, and I would feel your power and your love in my heart, and be changed.”
The fact is, God did send his Son in the likeness of man around two thousand years ago, so that we could become the likeness of God, not in some contrived way, but in a real, practical way, because when we invite him into our emotions and life, he actually comes and exists in the deepest part or the driving force of or lives, called the Spirit, which some people call the heart.
That’s why Jesus said, when talking about the so called born again experience, “Unless a man is born again, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” A man must be born of water and the spirit. The truth is that everyone born into this world is born with a dead spirit which needs to come alive - that part of us which communicates with God, which, like a faulty receiver on a satellite dish, it needs to be returned, or rather our Manufacturer needs to pay us a visit and repair our faulty equipment and breathe into that dead spirit and bring it to life; and when God comes into our spirit and revives or dead spirit by breathing his Spirit, something profound and deep and healthy occurs, something miraculous happens in the deepest part of our soul - we become a spiritual being, and we become who we were destined to be - for God made us first and foremost, not a physical being but a spiritual being. The truth is, before he made your body and physical being, he made your spirit, just as he did to everyone. Listen to this from Psalm 104:30:
"When you send your Spirit, they are created and you renew the face of the ground."
As C.S.Lewis said:
“You don’t have a soul, but you are a soul.”
If we don’t receive the truth of this, then we can so easily be deceived thinking that we are mere physical beings, and that all our history is just originating from one tiny cell - and we can be short-changed into thinking that our existence is only mere nature - and that we are deceived into thinking that we owe our existence to mere accidental forces of Co-incidence and mere cause and effect rather than the original causer of all things - the God- incidence, who we can call, the Big Cause or Causer. For scientists tell us and have found that this universe did indeed begin with a big bang as coined by, so which suggests there must be a cause or ordinator that caused that big bang.
But isn’t it a far more promising destiny that our existence was originated from the greatest mind in the universe? So great, that Mind stands outside this universe and indeed had the greatest idea and the crown of his creation to abide in his universe - which is you.
Whatever we envision or imagine we are lacking in our quest to find God - the good news is God is big enough to make up for what is lacking on our part. The good news is God truly loves you enough to send you huge great dollops of the power of his grace and healing so that you will experience what is called a spiritual awakening, whereby the eyes of your Spirit will be opened and you will begin to realize who God is, and who you are in relation to him, you will begin to realize that there is a God, and why you were made and placed on this earth, and what your purpose on this earth is.
Do you know that God loves you more than you can comprehend enough to want to be the most important ingredient of your life? And God loves you so much he wants to help you. God loves to so much he wants to help you with every aspect of your life.and whatever you are struggling with, he wants to help you and give you immense peace, when you go through pain and suffering and are full of worry, he wants to fill you with his peace, do that you can feel the greatest peace and love and relief that he loves you and has taken all your burdens. The important point when you come to the cross and unburden yourself, or lift those heavy burdens into the shoulders of Jesus.
How to upload the burdens and worries of your life, for the cross is the best rubbish dump, the literal and most practical dumping ground of all the worries and dross of your life, where, once you give him your burdens, you will feel so free and light after many years of being twisted in your stomach with worry, you will feel a new man or woman, because you will realize that you don’t need to face this life, and the worries and giants of your life alone, but with God you can overcome everything!
And you will find and experience that you now have the greatest Advocate and Helper, and he will send his Holy Spirit power to you, just as he has promised; Jesus promised to give you Another Helper and Advocate(where's the Scripture) to be with you, forever, and that’s why those disciples were so overjoyed and empowered when they received the Spirit of God on the day of Pentecost.
So after receiving the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, Peter was able to preach to the Jews, "Repent, and be baptised everyone of you into the name of Jesus, and your sins will be wiped out,and you will receive times of reshresing from the Lord."
Every one needs times of refreshing from the Lord.
Let me give you an illustration:
If we lived in a world where we did have from time to time, visitations from aliens, then how can we understand them unless we are acquainted with their language? In the same way, how can we understand God’s language unless we are acquainted with his Spirit; for the Bible tells us that it is only the Spirit within a man and the Holy Spirit within us that knows the thoughts of man and God. The Bible says, “The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him?

too can receive this grace gift from God by praying the following prayer,
“God, if you really exist and you have all power to do anything in this universe, then show me who you are and send me some of your power so that my life will be changed for the good. if you exist then open up my blind eyes and spirit to your love so that I would receive a miracle and you would send me your power and your Spirit, and I would feel your power and your love in my heart, and be changed.”

But isn’t it a far more promising destiny that our existence was originated from the greatest mind in the universe? So great, that Mind stands outside this universe and indeed had the greatest idea and the crown of his creation to abide in his universe - which is you.
Just as God challenges us in the Bible, Psalm 34, verse 8 test me, the Bible says, "Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him." (NIV) If you ask God to do this, he will send his Holy Spirit, and in time you will receive the most warmest and peaceful feeling when God's Spirit visits your deepest emotions and fills you with an incredible peace and healing, and begins to drive out all your years of heaped up stress and pain, and from then you will begin to feel a changed, upgraded and renewed person.Just like a dried up flower needs to receive streams of water, we all need a time of refreshing.
You need to remember that God loves you so much he even wants to help you with your faith, in the Bible there was such a man who met Jesus, and ask that God heal his daughter, Jairus’s daughter and asked Jesus, all he did was proclaim, I believe, “Help my unbelief!” or prayed, please helpy faith faith.We need to remember that God can give us the gift (called grace) of faith and deposit enough faith. Even if you struggle and think you don’t have enough faith, just pray the following prayer,
“I believe, please help my faith!”, then God will do the rest. If we do our best, God will do the rest, and make up for what is lacking, all it takes is just an atomic particle of faith to move the mountains of problem from our life;whether or not we think don’t have enough faith, God will supply what is lacking for he is a God who loves us souch, he has promised to supply all of our needs, including our spiritual needs, all of our lack, materially, spiritually, emotionally, whatever those needs are.
Whatever we envision or imagine we are lacking in our quest to find God - the good news is God is big enough to make up for what is lacking on our part. The good news is God truly loves you enough to send you huge great dollops of the power of his grace and healing so that you will experience what is called a spiritual awakening, whereby the eyes of your Spirit will be opened and you will begin to realize who God is, and who you are in relation to him, you will begin to realize that there is a God, and why you were made and placed on this earth, and what your purpose on this earth is.
Do you know that God loves you more than you can comprehend enough to want to be the most important ingredient of your life? And God loves you so much he wants to help you. God loves to so much he wants to help you with every aspect of your life.and whatever you are struggling with, he wants to help you and give you immense peace, when you go through pain and suffering and are full of worry, he wants to fill you with his peace, do that you can feel the greatest peace and love and relief that he loves you and has taken all your burdens. The important point when you come to the cross and unburden yourself, or lift those heavy burdens into the shoulders of Jesus.
As the Bible tells us in Philippians 4:6-7:
"Do not be anxious about anything but in everything, by prayer and suplication, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God; and the peace which is incomphrehensible, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus; this peace is so wonderful, it bypasses our mind and ministers peace to our emotions and spirit so that we feel a strange calm - even though when we look at our cicumstances they haven't changed yet inwardly we received a peace so strong and so tanjible it gives us the feeling that God is working out everything according to his wonderful plan;even though you do not feel that he will bring immediate deliverance, he fills you with enough faith, when you release those worries to him.
See, if I wanted to find out who you were, if I was to somehow extract one of your DNA’s double strands and unravel those two strands and read your 3 billion codes which your body needs to build your physical body, that single strand or those two strands would only tell me only so much, it would tell me what chemicals your cell needs to build you, and how to mix those chemicals for making the colour of your eye-brows, etc, and would tell me how many times I have to fold a certain material that makes your hair, but it wouldn’t tell me about what kind of character, or temperament you have, and who you are in your deepest part of you, your character - I can only find that out by reading your spirit which God Has endowed everyone with; that part of you, who is the real you - of who you are, deep down, with all your secret aspirations and dreams, and your desires.
The Bible says that God is the fashioner of all of man’s spirits.
God sent his Son who had everything and he became ‘the fall guy’ on the cross, to receive in his body all the punishment and guilt for everyone - even he took into his physical body on the cross all the sickness and pain of the entire world and its inhabitants; even though Jesus was the Son who had everything, he made himself nothing so that we who had nothing, can become like him and inherit all of the Son’s eternal riches; and he who had everything as God’s Son became so destitute he called himself, 'a worm.'

You may believe this or may not, however, please let me give you a word of caution: the nature of this religion called Christianity is, that God and Christ reveal themselves supernaturally by performing a miracle in man's heart, to him or her who invites God's Spirit into their life and emotions - who ask him to show his power to them in their heart, in their spirit; that's important because the Bible clearly states that the man without the Spirit of God cannot know God; this is because only when we have received God's Spirit, can we know and discern God and his ways - without which we are spiritually illiterate.
The fact is, the reason why there are so many broken people in this world is because their spirits are broken, their spiritual antenna which normally communicates with God is broken so they lack the equipment for phoning home, just like E. T., the alien in the movie of the same name; because everyone is born into this world with a dead spirit - their spiritual eyes are blind, that part of them must be restored first for them to suddenly shout, "I UNDERSTAND, I BELIEVE!" Thus, the Spirit of God must come and breathe to life the Spirit that is dead, and revive it.
In the Bible book of 1 Corinthians 2:14, it says,"The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him and he cannot understand them for they are spiritually discerned." That's the reason the atheist is content to stay atheist, because he will never understand until his sight is corrected and gets a new perspective and a corrected vision; or in other words, until his faulty receiver is repaired; until he asks God to come into his heart and repair his faulty reveiver -that part of him called his spirit which communicates with God. And then God shows himself to him by opening his spiritual eyes to spiritual reality; until then, you have more hope in persuading a man who is colour blind to understand what the colour red looks like, when he's never seen red and never experienced the colour of red.
That's why the Bible can be difficult to understand, especially for the atheist because the Bible tells us that the only way you can understand spiritual matters is if you first receive the Spirit of God, for the words and spiritual teaching of the Bible can only be received by the man or woman who has the Spirit of God, for they are spiritually discerned; in other words, the truth in the Bible can only be understood by the one who has the Spirit of God; it means if you are an unbeliever and you say you don’t want to believe because the Bible is too difficult to understand, then you will never understand the Bible, with that attitude.
For some, the Bible is archaic, for others, the Bible is difficult to grasp in meaning for it teaches many things which remain a mystery. Of course, I would expect the Bible to be mysterious for the man who has not received the Spirit of God.For the Bible says that the man without the Spirit cannot discern God. Listen to this: “The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to hm, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Corinthians 2:14)

The truth is that everyone born into this world is born with a dead spirit which needs to come alive - that part of us which communicates with God, which, like a faulty receiver on a satellite dish, it needs to be returned, or rather our Manufacturer needs to pay us a visit and repair our faulty equipment and breathe into that dead spirit and bring it to life; and when God comes into our spirit and revives or dead spirit by breathing his Spirit, something profound and deep and healthy occurs, something miraculous happens in the deepest part of our soul - we become a spiritual being, and we become who we were destined to be - for God made us first and foremost, not a physical being but a spiritual being. The truth is, before he made your body and physical being, he made your spirit, just as he did to everyone. Listen to this from Psalm 104:30:
"When you send your Spirit, they are created and you renew the face of the ground."
as C.S.Lewis said:
“You don’t have a soul, but you are a soul.”
If we don’t receive the truth of this, then we can so easily be deceived thinking that we are mere physical beings, and that all our history is just originating from one tiny cell - and we can be short-changed into thinking that our existence is only mere nature - and that we are deceived into thinking that we owe our existence to mere accidental forces of Co-incidence and mere cause and effect rather than the original causer of all things - the God- incidence, who we can call, the Big Cause or Causer. For scientists tell us and have found that this universe did indeed begin with a big bang as coined by, so which suggests there must be a cause or ordinator that caused that big bang.
But isn’t it a far more promising destiny that our existence was originated from the greatest mind in the universe? So great, that Mind stands outside this universe and indeed had the greatest idea and the crown of his creation to abide in his universe - which is you.
Just as God challenges us in the Bible, Psalm 34, verse 8 test me, the Bible says, "Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him." (NIV) If you ask God to do this, he will send his Holy Spirit, and in time you will receive the most warmest and peaceful feeling when God's Spirit visits your deepest emotions and fills you with an incredible peace and healing, and begins to drive out all your years of heaped up stress and pain, and from then you will begin to feel a changed, upgraded and renewed person.Just like a dried up flower needs to receive streams of water, we all need a time of refreshing.
You need to remember that God loves you so much he even wants to help you with your faith, in the Bible there was such a man who met Jesus, and ask that God heal his daughter, Jairus’s daughter and asked Jesus, all he did was proclaim, I believe, “Help my unbelief!” or prayed, please helpy faith faith.We need to remember that God can give us the gift (called grace) of faith and deposit enough faith. Even if you struggle and think you don’t have enough faith, just pray the following prayer,
“I believe, please help my faith!”, then God will do the rest. If we do our best, God will do the rest, and make up for what is lacking, all it takes is just an atomic particle of faith to move the mountains of problem from our life;whether or not we think don’t have enough faith, God will supply what is lacking for he is a God who loves us souch, he has promised to supply all of our needs, including our spiritual needs, all of our lack, materially, spiritually, emotionally, whatever those needs are.
Whatever we envision or imagine we are lacking in our quest to find God - the good news is God is big enough to make up for what is lacking on our part. The good news is God truly loves you enough to send you huge great dollops of the power of his grace and healing so that you will experience what is called a spiritual awakening, whereby the eyes of your Spirit will be opened and you will begin to realize who God is, and who you are in relation to him, you will begin to realize that there is a God, and why you were made and placed on this earth, and what your purpose on this earth is.
Do you know that God loves you more than you can comprehend enough to want to be the most important ingredient of your life? And God loves you so much he wants to help you. God loves to so much he wants to help you with every aspect of your life.and whatever you are struggling with, he wants to help you and give you immense peace, when you go through pain and suffering and are full of worry, he wants to fill you with his peace, do that you can feel the greatest peace and love and relief that he loves you and has taken all your burdens. The important point when you come to the cross and unburden yourself, or lift those heavy burdens into the shoulders of Jesus.
As the Bible tells us in Philippians 4:6-7:
"Do not be anxious about anything but in everything, by prayer and suplication, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God; and the peace which is incomphrehensible, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus; this peace is so wonderful, it bypasses our mind and ministers peace to our emotions and spirit so that we feel a strange calm - even though when we look at our cicumstances they haven't changed yet inwardly we received a peace so strong and so tanjible it gives us the feeling that God is working out everything according to his wonderful plan;even though you do not feel that he will bring immediate deliverance, he fills you with enough faith, when you release those worries to him.
See, if I wanted to find out who you were, if I was to somehow extract one of your DNA’s double strands and unravel those two strands and read your 3 billion codes which your body needs to build your physical body, that single strand or those two strands would only tell me only so much, it would tell me what chemicals your cell needs to build you, and how to mix those chemicals for making the colour of your eye-brows, etc, and would tell me how many times I have to fold a certain material that makes your hair, but it wouldn’t tell me about what kind of character, or temperament you have, and who you are in your deepest part of you, your character - I can only find that out by reading your spirit which God Has endowed everyone with; that part of you, who is the real you - of who you are, deep down, with all your secret aspirations and dreams, and your desires.
The Bible says that God is the fashioner of all of man’s spirits.
God sent his Son who had everything and he became ‘the fall guy’ on the cross, to receive in his body all the punishment and guilt for everyone - even he took into his physical body on the cross all the sickness and pain of the entire world and its inhabitants; even though Jesus was the Son who had everything, he made himself nothing so that we who had nothing, can become like him and inherit all of the Son’s eternal riches; and he who had everything as God’s Son became so destitute he called himself, 'a worm.'
And he did that for us, each of us, so that when he died, he died for you, even if you were the only person living on the face of this earth; and when you actually believe that even if you the only person living in this world he would have still died for you, then you, too, can share in this best inheritance.
Jesus, who was the Supreme Prince of Heaven became nothing for us, so that we could receive everything he has in heaven, and much, much more. But to receive all these priceless riches of Christ's inheritance, we must acknowledge that before the cross we are all sinners, weak and destitute in need of his saving love - we need to experience the greatest healing and peace of God in our hearts, who promises to exchange all our negatives and years of regret with his most amazing healing and peace.
We need to place all these sins and troubles at the cross and believe he took them in his body to neutralize them; When we open our hearts to the possibility that there is a God who can perform wonders in our lives, then just wait and experience what God will do for you - for if Jesus died for you when we were sinners - if that's what his death can do for us, just think what his life can do now that, in him, you are declared by God holy and righteous; and because he loves you so much, the gifts that he has prepared with your name on it, and the words of the letter he has prepared with your name on it will blow your mind and give you so much joy, peace and comfort ; just think of the immensity of what his life can do in us, how if we open our heart to the possibility that God is alive, even an atomic particle of opening and trusting his promises and the theory of Christianity, God will always respond to our sincere faith and prayer; and so, he sends us his power into our heart by the Holy Spirit, who will pour down the power of his love to give us all we need, practically, and of which the most important need is to experience his healing and peace in our emotions so that we feel and experience the greatest truth that he loves us so much with an unlimited and incredible love - that he loves us so much, he wants to give us everything in Jesus Christ except turning us into demi-gods or God, himself, for that would be too dangerous.
For in Christianity, God promises us not a religion but a real relationship with God built on a simple trust, who will adopt us as his own special child with all the benefits of a firstborn son bestowed on us. And further, he promises to give us a real and tangible peace and comfort in our lives so that we feel in our most deepest emotions the greatest strength and peace that he abides with us and has our best interests at heart, as his most loved sons and daughters; who has promised to be with each of us, individually and intimately.
Jesus promises his disciples, including us with these words, “In this world you will have trouble, but take heart for I have overcome this world and greater is he in you than he who is in the world.”
Which means that every moment of our day, God is waiting and willing to hear our deepest prayer and to be involved in the smallest details of our lives, and to fill us with the greatest hope, peace and comfort so that he becomes the greatest source of love, hope, joy and peace for our lives.
For when we believe in God’s love for us, he doesn't just give us words on a book, but promises to fill our hearts with the greatest love which alone has the power to reach our deepest hurts and pain.
When we believe in God, we receive the greatest assurance and confirmation that God is our Father in heaven who wants to help us with all our deepest needs and wants, as well as our deepest hurts and pain; and he does that practically by sending his real and tangible love into our hearts and minds by his Holy Spirit, so that we feel something powerful but strange fill us and give us the deepest peace and healing we have ever experienced.
He gives us the greatest peace, hope and comfort when he sends a very real and tangible comfort, who is the Holy Spirit, who comforts us in a very real and tangible way. That’s the reason I say Christianity is the greatest and most practical religion because the God we follow isn’t just words in a book but power for our weakest and most hopeless situation.

That’s the reason I say Christianity is the greatest and most practical religion because the God we follow isn’t just words in a book but power for our weakest and most hopeless situation.
But to experience all this wonderful adventure of believing, we first need to come to the greatest equalizer between God and man which is the cross, and place down at the cross all our preconceptions, our thinking, our notions of who God is, including who we think God should be; we need to lay at the cross our past and present disappointments, our hurts, our pride, our selfish thinking, even our atheist tendencies, and even the worldly thinking which we have followed which says there is no God; and you need to open up your hearts to the possibility that there may be a God who is going to do amazing things in your life, when you test what the power of his love can do in your life, and how much he is going to upgrade your life no end - so much so that one day, you will look back and say the minute you decided to follow him, you never regretted your decision; because it turned out to be the best decision of your life, when you realized this Christianity transformed your life into the greatest adventure you never thought possible.
So you need to lay all those negatives at the cross and give God a chance to work - and when he sees your faith and trust of him, he will send his Holy Spirit into your heart and heal you and give you the greatest peace in your life; but first you need to offload all those negatives of your life and lay them at the cross, and exchange them for his love and peace. And then you will feel so clean when the Holy Spirit comes into your heart and cleans it, and he begins to renovate it so that you are adopted as his Firstborn, and you begin to feel you are his most favoured son -his healing will have begun in you.
This love God has for you is the most practical love so that when you are at your most weakest and vulnerable, he sends his love, he sends his very own Holy Spirit, to make you feel brand-new, holy, clean and strengthened so that you become an Overcomer.
Just as John the Apostle wrote in the last book of the Bible in Revelation 12:10: “Then I heard a loud voice in heaven , 'Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers who accuses them before our God day and night has been hurled down. They overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony; just as Isaiah says, “He, himself took our sins in his body on the tree in his body so that we may not live for sin, but live for righteousness. By his wounds we are healed.”
So you need to lay all those negatives at the cross and give God a chance to work - and when he sees your faith and trust of him, he will send his Holy Spirit into your heart and heal you and give you the greatest peace in your life; but first you need to offload all those negatives of your life and lay them at the cross, and exchange them for his love and peace. And then you will feel so clean when the Holy Spirit comes into your heart and cleans it, and he begins to renovate it so that you are adopted as his Firstborn, and you begin to feel you are his most favoured son -his healing will have begun in you.

By his wounds we are healed.”
David wrote, when he prophesied that Jesus would say this, “I am not a man but a worm.’
It means when you face difficult situations, God promises to help you, if only you will give him a chance and trust him, so that even though you don’t immediately even deliverance, he gives you the most wonderful peace, which calms all your fears and distress and makes you feel that God is ‘on your case’ and dealing with all your problems.
But how do I practically upload all the negatives of my life?
How to upload the burdens and worries of your life at the cross? The cross is the best rubbish dump, the literal and most practical dumping ground of all the worries and dross of your life, where, once you give him your burdens, you will feel so free and light after many years of being twisted in your stomach with worry - you will feel a new man or woman, because you will realize that you don’t need to face this life, and the worries and giants of your life alone - but with God you can overcome everything!
And you will find and experience that you now have the greatest Advocate and Helper, and he will send his Holy Spirit power to you, just as he has promised; Jesus promised to give you another Helper and Advocate to be with you, forever, his Holy Spirit who is also called the Comforter.

That’s why those disciples were so overjoyed and empowered when they received the Spirit of God on the day of Pentecost.If we look at those eleven or more men who were unschooled in the world's education, and were mostly a bunch of fishermen, when they received the Holy Spirit in their hearts and lives on the day of Pentecost they were transformed into men who were able to bring real hope and power to the hopeless, and to be facilitators of the greatest hope and comfort known to man, which is the comfort that God will give to you today through his Holy Spirit.So after receiving the Holy Spirit.
It means as God’s children, we be helped when we feel we are at our weakest. Another of Christ’s disciples, Paul, suffered a physical problem which was most likely his eyes. The Bible records that three times he asked the Lord to take it from on him but each time God denied him immediate relief, but promised him that his strength is made perfect in weakness and as a consequence Paul was able to learn a powerful lesson that when we experience pain and suffering, even though we hate those, God always has a purpose in them for God uses them as a means to draw us closer to him. Paul later wrote in Romans 8:28-30, “For we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.”
So whenever we are faced with difficult situations, we have a very real and tangible power to hold onto, as the greatest anchor of our lives, and we have the most loving Father who doesn't just live in heaven, remotely, but lives in our heart and lives (if we have have invited him into our hearts and lives) and is ready to pour down the greatest power of his love and give us the most peaceful feeling that his love will never fail us or leave us, but will make us overcomers.

All we need to do is pray to him and ask him to direct us by his love. It means whenever we face any kinds of problems, if you ask him to help you, he will send you his Holy Spirit, and pour down the fullness of his love and healing into your heart.
For example, if your child one day asks you, “Dad, please can you buy me an electronic kickboard, do you reply to him, “We have no money, sorry!” But instead of reacting like non-christians do, like this, react the way Christ Jesus reacted; pray to God like this,
“God, I heard you are my Father, who doesn't just live in heaven in some remote place but you love me so much, you came to live in my heart when I gave you my life; and you confirm your love for me every moment by sending me your unlimited comfort and love in my heart and emotions, so that I am filled with an incredible peace every moment, so that I don’t need to worry anymore but trust that you will give me all my needs when I place my trust in you.
That if you want my son to have this kickboard, then you want this project to be an exercise of trust in you, so that means I don’t have to say such statements as, ‘I have no money, I can’t buy you!’
But instead I thank you our Father God who is our Father in heaven and in your heart, who gives us hope and wants to direct us into your great peace, love and comfort; and has promised to supply all our needs, so we can trust in you.
Pease send me the resources to buy this kickboard, but in your wisdom if you want to pour down or give us something better, then we are ready to receive that. We choose not to demand or fret but to just do what your word commands, in Philippians, 6:4; therefore, do not worry about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God, and so you can exchange your worries for the peace of God."Amen.
Surely, isn't that a better response?
One of Christ's disciples, Peter, after receiving the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, was able to preach to the Jews, "Repent, and be baptised everyone of you into the name of Jesus, and your sins will be wiped out and you will receive times of refreshing from the Lord.”
Everyone needs times of refreshing from the Lord.
GOD IS THE FUEL OF MY LIFE
By Chris Briscoe
We choose not to demand or fret but to just do what your word cammands us, in Philippians, 6:4:6-, "Do not worry about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God, and receive nstead the profound peace of God which will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Amen.

For some, the Bible is archaic, for others, the Bible is difficult to grasp in meaning for it teaches many things which remain a mystery. Of course, I would expect the Bible to be mysterious for the man who has not received the Spirit of God.For the Bible says that the man without the Spirit cannot discern God. Listen to this: “The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to hm, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Corinthians 2:14)
It probably is mysterious, or the Bible will remain mysterious, especially for the Atheists because the Bible tells us that the only way you can understand spiritual matters is if you first receive the Spirit of God, for the Words and spiritual teaching of the Bible can only be received by the man or woman who has the Spirit of God, for they are spiritually discerned;in other words, the truth in the Bible can only be understood by the one who has the Spirit of God; it means if you are an unbeliever and you say you don’t want to believe because the Bible is too difficult to understand, then you will never understand the Bible, with that attitude.
Let me give you an illustration:
If we lived in a world where we did have from time to time, visitations from aliens, then how can we understand them unless we are acquainted with their language.In the same way, how can we understand God’s language unless we are acquainted with his Spirit; for the Bible tells us that it is only the Spirit within a man and the Holy Spirit within us that knows the thoughts of man and God.In the Bible book of Romans it says in the eighth Chapter, in twenty-seven verse “And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.”
Also, elsewhere the Bible says, “The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.” (1 Corinthians
It’s like expecting us to understand the language of an alien without having learned its language.
So, first we need to ask God to deposit his sweet Spirit into our spirit so that our eyes can be opened. Until then we remain spiritually blind. And if you find you don’t have faith to ask then just ask him for the gift of faith, which are among the many gifts he gives us to help us believe and help us in the many struggles we face in life - the many gifts of his grace. Then pray like this,
“God, if you really exist and you have all power to do anything in this universe, then show me who you are and send me some of your power so that my life will be changed for the good. if you exist then open up my blind eyes and spirit to your love so that I would receive a miracle and you would send me your power and your Spirit, and I would feel your power and your love in my heart, and be changed.”
The fact is God did send his Son in the likeness of man so that we could become the likeness of God, not in some contrived way but in a real practical way because when we invite him into our emotions and life, he actually comes and exists in the deepest part or the driving force of or lives, called the Spirit, which some people called the heart.
That’s why Jesus said,when talking about the so called born again experience, “Unless a man is born again, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” A man must be born of water and the spirot. The truth is that everyone born nto this world is born with a dead spirit which needs o come alive, that part of us which communicates with God, which like a faulty receiver on a satellite dish, it needs to be returned, or rather our Manufacturer needs to pay us a visit and repair our faulty equipment and breathe into that dead spirit and bring it to life, and when God comes into our spirit and revives or dead spirit by breathing his Spirit, something profound and deep and healthy occurs, something miraculous happens in the deepest part of our soul - we become a spiritual being, and we become who we were destined to be - for God made us first and foremost, not a physical being but a spiritual being - as C.S.Lewis said:

In the same way, how can we understand God’s language unless we are acquainted with his Spirit; for the Bible tells us that it is only the Spirit within a man and the Holy Spirit within us that knows the thoughts of man and God.In the Bible book of Romans it says in the eighth Chapter, in twenty-seven verse “And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.”
Also, elsewhere the Bible says, “The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:14)
It’s like expecting us to understand the language of an alien without having learned its language.
So, first we need to ask God to deposit his sweet Spirit into our spirit so that our eyes can be opened. Until then we remain spiritually blind. And if you find you don’t have faith to ask then just ask him for the gift of faith, which are among the many gifts he gives us to help us believe and help us in the many struggles we face in life - the many gifts of his grace. Then pray like this,
“God, if you really exist and you have all power to do anything in this universe, then show me who you are and send me some of your power so that my life will be changed for the good. if you exist then open up my blind eyes and spirit to your love so that I would receive a miracle and you would send me your power and your Spirit, and I would feel your power and your love in my heart, and be changed.”
The fact is God did send his Son in the likeness of man so that we could become the likeness of God, not in some contrived way but in a real practical way because when we invite him into our emotions and life, he actually comes and exists in the deepest part or the driving force of or lives, called the Spirit, which some people called the heart.
That’s why Jesus said,when talking about the so called born again experience, “Unless a man is born again, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” A man must be born of water and the spirot. The truth is that everyone born nto this world is born with a dead spirit which needs o come alive, that part of us which communicates with God, which like a faulty receiver on a satellite dish, it needs to be returned, or rather our Manufacturer needs to pay us a visit and repair our faulty equipment and breathe into that dead spirit and bring it to life, and when God comes into our spirit and revives or dead spirit by breathing his Spirit, something profound and deep and healthy occurs, something miraculous happens in the deepest part of our soul - we become a spiritual being, and we become who we were destined to be - for God made us first and foremost, not a physical being but a spiritual being - as C.S.Lewis said:
“You don’t have a soul, but you are a soul.”
If we don’t receive the truth of this, then we can so easily be deceived thinking that we are mere physical beings, and that all our history is just originating from one tiny cell - and we short-changed into thinking that our existence is only mere nature - and that we are deceived into thinking that we owe our existence to mere accidental forces of Co-incidence and mere cause and effect rather than the original causer of all things, -the God- incidence, who we can call, the Big Cause or Causer. For scientists tell us and have found that this universe did indeed begin with a big bang as coined by, so which suggests there must be a cause or ordinator that caused that big bang.
But isn’t it a far more promising destiny that our existence was originated from the greatest mind in the universe?!- so great, that Mind stands outside this universe and indeed had the greatest idea and the crown of his creation to abide in his universe - which is you.
Just as God challenges us in the Bible, Psalm 36, test me, or taste and see that the Lord is good, then in time you will receive the most warmest and peaceful feeling when God's Spirit visits your deepest emotions and fills you with an incredible peace and healing, and begins to drive out all your years of heaped up stress and pain, and from then you will begin to feel a changed, upgraded and renewed person, like a dried up flower received streams of water to refresh your soul.
We need to remember that God loves you so much he even wants to help you with your faith, in the Bible there was such a man who met Jesus, and ask that God heal his daughter, Jairus’s daughter and asked Jesus, all he did was proclaim, I believe, “Help my unbelief!” or prayed, please helpy faith faith.We need to remember that God can give us the gift(called grace) of faith and deposit enough faith. Even if you struggle and think you don’t have enough faith, just pray the following prayer,
“I believe, please help my faith!” , then God will do the rest. If we do our best, God will do the rest, and make up for what is lacking, all it takes is just an atomic particle of faith to move the mountains of problem from our life;whether or not we think don’t have enough faith, God will supply what is lacking for he is a God who loves us souch, he has promised to supply all of our needs, including our spiritual needs, all of our lack, materially, spiritually, emotionally, whatever those needs are.
Whatever we envision or imagine we are lacking in our quest to find God - the good news is God is big enough to make up for what is lacking on our part. The good news is God truly loves you enough to send you huge great dollops of the power of his grace and healing so that you will experience what is called a spiritual awakening, whereby the eyes of your Spirit will be opened and you will begin to realize who God is, and who you are in relation to him, you will begin to realize that there is a God, and why you were made and placed on this earth, and what your purpose on this earth is.
Do you know that God loves you more than you can comprehend enough to want to be the most important ingredient of your life? And God loves you so much he wants to help you. God loves to so much he wants to help you with every aspect of your life.and whatever you are struggling with, he wants to help you and give you immense peace, when you go through pain and suffering and are full of worry, he wants to fill you with his peace, do that you can feel the greatest peace and love and relief that he loves you and has taken all your burdens. The important point when you come to the cross and unburden yourself, or lift those heavy burdens into the shoulders of Jesus.
Even though you do not feel that he will bring immediate deliverance, he fills you with enough faith, when you release those worries to him.Thevimpirtamt benefit to need to learn from your trials is to learn to trust and so receive his peace, even though he doesn't deliver you in the short term. you have grown in your stature because you trust in
See, if I wanted to find out who you were, if I was to somehow extract one of your DNA’s double strands and unravel those two strands and read your 3 billion codes which your body needs to build your physical body, that single strand or those two strands would only tell me only so much, it would tell me what chemicals your cell needs to build you, and how to mix those chemicals for making the colour of your eye-brows, etc, and would tell me how many times I have to fold a certain material that makes your hair, but it wouldn’t tell me about what kind of character, or temperament you have, and who you are in your deepest part of you, your character - I can only find that out by reading your spirit which God Has endowed everyone with; that part of you, who is the real you - of who you are, deep down, with all your secret aspirations and dreams, and your desires.
The Bible says that God is the fashioner of all of man’s spirits.
Maybe just as the science world were able to teach itself to read the three billion codes which make up the RNA DNA template, one day they will find a way to read people’s spirits; and in that case, wouldn't such a device be helpful. It would certainly save a lot of time and energy, and even paperwork. For we wouldn’t have to be mutually subjected to rigorous job interviews and screenings, because once a company who once conducted numerous interviews with perspectives interviewees, if they could read everyone’s spirits with a spirit-scanner rather than a DNA- scanner, then they could instantly build a really useful profile of the person, remotely, without calling the person nowadays, companies and personnel departments are realizing that academic qualifications are not as important as character and personality strengths; for you can be the most brainy person in your company, but what good are you if you don’t care a “hoot’ about your fellows, and to refuse to lift a finger in kindness to your fellow worker or employer.
So after receiving the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, Peter was able to preach to the Jews, "Repent, and be baptised everyone of you into the name of Jesus, and your sins will be wiped out and you will receive times of refreshing from the Lord.
Every one needs times of refreshing from the Lord.
For some, the Bible is archaic, for others, the Bible is difficult to grasp in meaning for it teaches many things which remain a mystery. Of course, I would expect the Bible to be mysterious for the man who has not received the Spirit of God.For the Bible says that the man without the Spirit cannot discern God. Listen to this: “The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to hm, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Corinthians 2:14)
It probably is mysterious, or the Bible will remain mysterious, especially for the Atheists because the Bible tells us that the only way you can understand spiritual matters is if you first receive the Spirit of God, for the Words and spiritual teaching of the Bible can only be received by the man or woman who has the Spirit of God, for they are spiritually discerned;in other words, the truth in the Bible can only be understood by the one who has the Spirit of God; it means if you are an unbeliever and you say you don’t want to believe because the Bible is too difficult to understand, then you will never understand the Bible, with that attitude.
Let me give you an illustration:
If we lived in a world where we did have from time to time, visitations from aliens, then how can we understand them unless we are acquainted with their language.In the same way, how can we understand God’s language unless we are acquainted with his Spirit; for the Bible tells us that it is only the Spirit within a man and the Holy Spirit within us that knows the thoughts of man and God.In the Bible book of Romans it says in the eighth Chapter, in twenty-seven verse “And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.”

Whatever we envision or imagine we are lacking in our quest to find God - the good news is God is big enough to make up for what is lacking on our part. The good news is God truly loves you enough to send you huge great dollops of the power of his grace and healing so that you will experience what is called a spiritual awakening, whereby the eyes of your Spirit will be opened and you will begin to realize who God is, and who you are in relation to him, you will begin to realize that there is a God, and why you were made and placed on this earth, and what your purpose on this earth is.
Do you know that God loves you more than you can comprehend enough to want to be the most important ingredient of your life? And God loves you so much he wants to help you.

The important point when you come to the cross and unburden yourself, or lift those heavy burdens into the shoulders of Jesus.
How to upload the burdens and worries of your life, for the cross is the best rubbish dump, the literal and most practical dumping ground of all the worries and dross of your life, where, once you give him your burdens, you will feel so free and light after many years of being twisted in your stomach with worry, you will feel a new man or woman, because you will realize that you don’t need to face this life, and the worries and giants of your life alone, but with God you can overcome everything!
And you will find and experience that you now have the greatest Advocate and Helper, and he will send his Holy Spirit power to you, just as he has promised; Jesus promised to give you Another Helper and Advocate(where's the Scripture) to be with you, forever, and that’s why those disciples were so overjoyed and empowered when they received the Spirit of God on the day of Pentecost.
So after receiving the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, Peter was able to preach to the Jews, "Repent, and be baptised everyone of you into the name of Jesus, and your sins will be wiped out,vand you will receive times of reshresing from the Lord.

See, if I wanted to find out who you were, if I was to somehow extract one of your DNA’s double strands and unravel those two strands and read your 3 billion codes which your body needs to build your physical body, that single strand or those two strands would only tell me only so much, it would tell me what chemicals your cell needs to build you, and how to mix those chemicals for making the colour of your eye-brows, etc, and would tell me how many times I have to fold a certain material that makes your hair, but it wouldn’t tell me about what kind of character, or temperament you have, and who you are in your deepest part of you, your character - I can only find that out by reading your spirit which God Has endowed everyone with; that part of you, who is the real you - of who you are, deep down, with all your secret aspirations and dreams, and your desires.
The Bible says that God is the fashioner of all of man’s spirits.
Maybe just as the science world were able to teach itself to read the three billion codes which make up the RNA DNA template, one day they will find a way to read people’s spirits; and in that case, wouldn't such a device be helpful. It would certainly save a lot of time and energy, and even paperwork. For we wouldn’t have to be mutually subjected to rigorous job interviews and screenings, because once a company who once conducted numerous interviews with perspectives interviewees, if they could read everyone’s spirits with a spirit-scanner rather than a DNA- scanner, then they could instantly build a really useful profile of the person, remotely, without calling the person nowadays, companies and personnel departments are realizing that academic qualifications are not as important as character and personality strengths; for you can be the most brainy person in your company, but what good are you if you don’t care a “hoot’ about your fellows, and to refuse to lift a finger in kindness to your fellow worker or employer.
When we place our trust in Gob he adopts them into their family and is their father who loves you so much he is waiting and willing to pour down into your emotions a physical feeling and healing so that you would know in your heart of hearts that you are loved as a Father loves his Son, perfectly with an unlimited and unconditional love, and Christianity is the only religion which promises to send you that love and fill all your emptiness so that you would be convinced practically, not just in your brain that God loves you, but also in your heart, which is your spirit and your emotions so that you would be healed of your past pain and hurt and they would no longer drag you down, it means all your other emotional and spiritual chains would also fall off in time and you would begin to feel a while person, not a wounded person anymore, and you would start to acts and believe as a real son of the King of Kings, because in fact at the cross the King of Kings who was perfect was wounded for us so that we who are subject to weakness and wounds could receive his perfection when we give him our wounds and imperfections at the cross; so this Christianity is the most practical religion and you will find out for yourselves every day if you walk with God through Jesus his Son, and realize that even though we are sinner's changing into Saints, now God looks into our hearts and, because he sees his perfect son, Jesus, he proclaims that we are perfect in him and holy, and that’s what he will see when we meet him outside the portals of heaven; and he will therefore, give you a rich welcome into heaven or because anything you have done which you refer or any mistakes you have committed, because of what Christ did on cross, he receive all your unholiness in exchange for his holiness, who was broken and wounded for you because he loved you enough to die for you so that you would become a wholesome person, whose mission in life, because you have been filled with that perfect love, you want others to see and experience what they have been missing all these years.
So when you pray, God meets all your needs, even your most practical needs, even your deepest desires to give them all things that they need and to even meet their deepest desires for this life and the life to come.
And you will experience in time, if you continue to trust in this amazing love for your life, that whenever you face circumstances and problems which seem overwhelming and would have given you despair once upon a time, but now when you pray and ask God to help you, he sends the practical power of his love that gives you strength and assurance that God will bring you through the fires of testing and establish you in this life and the life to come.
But you will never know this until you experience it in your life. And you will never understand God or his ways until you first experience him and experience his healing in your inner man or woman - in your spirit, until you first have your spirit healed; for all people in this world have been born with a broken spirit, which is the communication system with which they communicate with God, born with a broken antenna which needs fixing. So you need to pray and ask that best engineer of antennas to repair your spiritual antenna.
For in Christianity God promises us not a religion but a real relationship with God built on simple trust who will adopt us as his own special child with all the benefits of a Firstborn son bestowed on us. And further, he promises to give us a real and tangible peace and comfort in our lives so that we feel in our most deepest emotions the greatest strength and peace that abides with us and has our best interests at heart, as his most loved sons and daughters with a Father who has promised to be with each of us individually and intimately - not remotely but living closer than closest intimate friend, closer than our spouse, living in our heart giving us real-time, practical help. No other religion can promise such, and even if they did, no other religion can deliver in their promises, for the founder of Buddhism, Mr. Buddha, as an example, is a mere man who cannot come into our heart as Jesus can because he is God and man at the same time, so he knows what it's like to feel pain, and felt the deepest pain on the cross, yet overcame by the power of the Holy Spirit of all comfort, so that he is also God who has the power to enter my heart and your and fill it with the greatest hope, and live and stay there forever.
