“Now they were all weeping and lamenting for her; but He said, ‘Stop weeping, for she has not died, but is asleep’” (Luke 8:52).
A plain reading of this verse does not reveal everything.
The child is actually dead even before Jesus came to the official’s house. Yet, Jesus spoke on the contrary. It is as if the
How well do you trust Jesus? Or, should I say, do you trust Him fully? The answer to these questions is the key to the way you live and survive in this tedious world. It is often easy to get tired quickly or be exasperated by the things happening around you. Owing to this you even forget how to continue or as to what
There are quite a few ways for happiness in this world. Money is one entity that comes to mind. People can give us happiness too. The things we possess cause happiness. Yet, happiness is not joy. It is not the joy of the Lord. It is temporary. It is with instability to vanish any time and quickly. Joy has the power to
Being led (trained) by the Holy Spirit is a phenomenal exercise. It is an experience unlike anything one has gone through in life. It is the case since the one being led dissociates from all things and begins associating only with God. Meaning, that though he may hold matters relating to this life, they occupy second
“It was carved with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces, a man’s face toward the palm tree on one side and a young lion’s face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were carved on all the house all around.” (Ezek. 41:18-19).

Can we know the things we have not been privy to before? Is it even possible? We hear people speak of ‘sixth sense.’ I doubt its existence, except that it is the intuitiveness of the mind. It’s just that it is a quick feel of a situation that happens to be right. It is not a conclusion arrived at by keenly analyzing a situation. Hence, it does
It is known that all works, whether good or bad, have consequences. Good consequences are always welcomed and relished. They bring peace, joy and comfort. Yet, these can vanish away on the existence of one particular event. It is transgression. Transgression causes grief, discomfort and in some cases physical death. It no doubt has eternal consequences.
Have there been times in your life when joy was taken away from you? Someone may have robbed it from you in cleverness; or, something might have done it. Satan, with his tantric, often tries to rob our joy that was of the Lord and may even be successful at times. Daily situations can force us to come out of joy.
Too much emphasis upon self results in chasing after the wind. The “I, me and my” attitude deprives satisfaction and better life. Human beings are self-centered people. No matter how much or whatever they have, they are unhappy. The more they work for their good, the more they want. There is no wrong in seeking a
Seeking Jesus with a deep desire for Him has tremendous results. Evidently, it is asking to be intimate with Him. I come across people with various needs and complaints.
