Examination of Conscience - 14




14. Have you given credit to yourself for your talent, wealth and health forgetting the authority of God?

“Do not say to yourself, “my power and the might of my own hand have gotten me this wealth.” But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives your power to get wealth, so that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your ancestors, as he is doing today.”
(Dueteronomy 8:17-18)

“Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a town and spend a year there doing business and making money.” Yet you do not even know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.”
(James 4:13-14)

Examination of Conscience - 13




13. Have you received the Holy Sacrament without preparation, unworthily or without faith?

“Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be answerable for the body and blood of the Lord. Examine yourselves and only then eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For all who eat and drink without discerning the body eat and drink judgment against themselves. For this reasons many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. But if we judged ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.” (1Corinthians 11:27-32)

Examination of Conscience - 12



12. All vows are for the glory of God. Have you intentionally kept away from fulfilling such vows? Are you in the habit of making vows frequently?

“Let nothing hinder you from paying a vow promptly, and do not wait until death to be released from it. Before making a vow, prepare yourself; do not be like one who puts the Lord to the test.” (Sirach 18:22-23)

“The one who swears many oaths is full of iniquity and the scourge will not leave his house. If he swears in error his sin remains on him, and if he disregards it, he sins doubly; if he swears a false oath, he will not be justified for his house will be filled with calamities. There is a manner of speaking comparable to death; may it never be found in the inheritance of Jacob! Such conduct will be far from the Godly and they will wallow in sins.” (Sirach 23:11,12)

“And they came, everyone whose heart was stirred, and everyone whose spirit was willing, and brought the Lord’s offering to be used for the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the sacred vestments.” (Exodus 35:21)

“If you make a vow to the Lord your God, do not postpone fulfilling it; for the Lord your God will surely require it of you, and you would incur guilt. But if you refrain from vowing, you will not incur guilt. Whatever your lips utter, you must diligently perform, just as you have freely vowed to the Lord your God with your own mouth.” (Deuteronomy 23:21-23)

Examination of Conscience - 10

10. Have you tired to seek favours of men more than God? To please men have you acted disregarding God?

“With all you soul fear the Lord, and revere his priests, With all your might love your Maker, and do not neglect his ministers. Fear the Lord and honor the Priest, and give him his portion, as you have been commanded: The first fruits, the guilt offering, the gift of the shoulders, the sacrifice of sanctification, and the first fruits of the holy things.” (Sirach 7:29,31)

Examination of Conscience - 8



8. Have you been irresponsive to the church or its ministry by not offering financial support or tithes?

“Will anyone rob God? Yet you are robbing me! But you say, “How are we robbing you?” In your tithes and offerings! You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me the whole nation of you! Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house, and thus put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts; see if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you and overflowing blessing. I will rebuke the locust for you, so that it will not destroy the produce of your soil; and you vine in the field shall not be barren, says the Lord of hosts. Then all nations will count you happy, for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.”

(Malachi 3:8-12)

Examination of Conscience - 6




6. Have you given more importance to saints and feared them more than God? Have you thought or spoken disrespectfully about them?

“I am the lord your god who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, you shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in the heaven above or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I am the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and fourth generation those who reject me, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments. You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.” (Dueteronomy 5:6-11)

Examination of Conscience - 4





4. Have you put more faith in the creatures rather than the creator by observing rahu, Palmistry, astrology, new moon, full moon days, etc.

“Formerly when you did not know God, you were enslaved to beings that by nature are not gods. Now, however, that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God. How can you turn back again to the weak and beggarly elemental spirits? How can you want to be enslaved to them again? You are observing special days, and months, and seasons, and years. I am afraid that my work for you may have been wasted.” (Galatians 4:8-11)

Examination of Conscience - 3




Have you worn or preserved magic bands, girdles or likewise or encouraged others to do so?

“See, I am stirring up the Medes against them, who have no regard for silver and do not delight in gold. Their bows will slaughter the young men; they will have no mercy on the fruit of the womb; their eyes will not pity children. And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the splendor and pride of the chaldeans, will be like Sodom and Gomorrah when God overthrew them. It will never be inhabited or lived in for all generations; Arabs will not pitch their tents there, shepherds will not make their flocks lie down there. But wild animals will lie down there and its houses will be full of howling creatures; there ostriches will live and there goat demons will dance” (Isaiah 13:17-21)

Examination of Conscience - 2


2. Doubting God’s eternal protection and love, have you gone behind black magic, occult, sorcery, etc or encouraged others to go for these?

“if you will only heed his every commandment that am commanding that I am commanding you today-loving the lord your god, and serving him with all your heart and with all your soul-then he will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the later rain, and you will gather in your grain, your wine, and your oil; and he will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you will eat your fill. Take care, or you will be seduced in to turning away, serving other gods and worshiping them, for then the anger of the lord will be kindled against you and he will shut up the heavens, so that there will be no rain and the land will yield no fruit; then you will perish quickly off the good land that the Lord is giving you.” (Deuteronomy 11: 13- 17)

“if prophets or those who divine by dreams appear among your and promise you omens or portents, and the omens or the portents declared by them take place, and they says, “let us follow other gods” (whom you have not know) “and let us serve them , ” (Deuteronomy 13:1.2)

“if any turn to mediums and wizards, prostituting themselves to them, I will set my face against them, and will cut them off from the people. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holly; for I am the lord; I sanctify you. ” (Leviticus 20:6-8)

With a humble heart, and relaxexd mind, focus on the Creator; allow GOD to be the only subject in your mind while reading the following....

Dear Lord
  • I thank you for this day;
  • I thank you for being able to see and hear the beauty of your creations;

Let me not whine and whimper over things beyond my control; let me recognize any sin and acknowledge it as evil; and when I sin, give me the courage to confess, and repent for my wrongdoings.

Give me the strength, so that I could help the weak.
Keep me uplifted, so that I could encourage others,
Give me knowledge, so that I could provide direction to those who have lost their way.


I pray ... for all my near and dear ones to know you intimately;

I pray... for those misjudegd and misunderstood to have mercy;

I pray... for peace, love and joy to dominate my family's and friend's lives and that all their needs be met.

Even in those moments when I don't pray, I ask YOU to please listen to my heart and continue to use me to do YOUR will...

When this world closes in on me, I pray that YOU make me go as clean as the way YOU created me.

May the words of this prayer be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them, and every mouth that confesses them willingly...

In Jesus name,

Amen....


Before closing this page, please note that passing it to your contacts would make others pray on your behalf.

May your life be

Blessed...

Bible Verse For The Day

The best day to give your life over to Jesus Christ is the day before your death. If you don't know the day of your death, today's the best day to surrender your life to Jesus Christ. Surrendering before Jesus Christ is liberty.Liberty from the clutches of sins and the eternal death. Choose life.

The Philistines arrived to attack Israel. But the Lord spoke with a mighty voice of thunder from heaven that day, and the Philistines were thrown into such confusion that the Israelites defeated them. The men of Israel chased them from Mizpah to a place below Beth-car, slaughtering them all along the way. Samuel then took a large stone and placed it between the towns of Mizpah and Jeshanah. He named it Ebenezer (which means "the stone of help"), for he said, "Up to this point the Lord has helped us!"

1 Samuel 7:10-12 (New Living Translation)


Dearest Abba, Father, thank You for allowing me to worship You. I am so unworthy and dirty. Yahweh, what have you seen in me to love me so much? I can't even begin to count the blessings You have showered upon me. Your love draws me near to You. Thank You that it's not the fragile me holding on to You. But Your strong hand is holding on to me. Whenever I slip, Father, You hold me up. If it was not for Your mercy and patience, I would be utterly destroyed. Though You chasten me to purge me for my own good, You have never left me to the will of my enemies. Yahweh- Elohim, You are the only real thing. Yahweh- Yireh, You always have the better idea. You provide me with the unimaginable best. Yahweh-Shua, You cared so much for me, You sent me Your best, Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to the earth for me to have an abundant life. Yahweh-Mekaddishkhem, You washed me clean of the stains my sins have left me. Yahweh- Nissi, You make me victorious in all situations. You make great things happen in my life, which amazes me to no end. Yahweh- Shaddai, everything belongs to You and there is no lack in Your treasury that You have stored up for me. Yahweh-Shalom, it comforts me immensely to remember that I am in good hands. Yahweh- Sal'I, You are my hiding place when the storms of problems rage against me in my life. You make it calm so that its waves are still.Yahweh-Rapha, I am so glad that You are in my life as my never failing healer. Yahweh -Osenu, You are my maker and Father, always ready to take me up when I repent and return to You, after having strayed away from You seeking after the lust of my flesh, lust of my eyes and pride of my life. Yahweh-Roi, I don't want to walk even one foot if Your presence doesn't come with me. May the expressions of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before You. In the matchless name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.


60 Secs with God

During 60 seconds, leave whatsoever your doing and seize this opportunity! Let's see if satan can stop this

THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS



At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to death penalty.



That was then the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals could die like Jesus. And with Jesus things were worst, because not all the criminals condemned to death could receive nails on their hands and feet.



Of course, nails... Big nails! Each was 15 a 20 cm long, with a point of 6 cm. Another point was sharp.



The nails were craved into the pulses, and not into the palms, as we are used to hear. In the pulse, there's a tendon which extends till the shoulder, and when the nails were being hammered, that tendon broke, obliging Jesus to reinforce all the muscles of his back, so that he could breath as He was loosing all the air from his lungs.



In this way, He was forced to support Himself onto the nail craved in his feet, which was bigger than those craved into his pulses, for both feet were craved together. And, as his feet could not endure for long time without tearing, Jesus was forced to alternate that "cycle" so that He could breath.



Jesus endured that reality over 3 hours.

Yes, over 3 hours! Long time, isn't it? Few minutes before He died, Jesus was not bleeding anymore.

He was simply pouring water from his cuts and holes.



When we imagine Him injured, we only picture Him with injuries,
but it is not enough; His wounds were true holes, made in his body.



He had no more blood to bleed, He only poured water.

Human body is composed by near 3.5 litres of blood (for adult).



Jesus poured all 3.5 litres of his blood; He had three nails hammered into his members; a crown of thorns on his had and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who nailed a spear into his chest.



All these without mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying his own cross for almost 2 kilometres, while the crowd spat on his face and throwed stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part, where his hands were nailed).



Jesus had to pass all this experience, so that you can have free access to God.

So that your sins could be "washed". All of them,
with no exception! Don't ignore this situation. HE DIED FOR YOU!. For you, who now read this e-mail. Do not believe that He only died for others

(those who go to the church or for pastors, bishops, etc).



He died for you! It is easy to pass jokes or foolish photos by e-mail, but when it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward to others because you are worried on what they may think about your moral.



Accept the reality, the truth that JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD.



God has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced to save you.
Now think on this! May God bless your life!



60 seconds with God...

During 60 seconds,
leave whatsoever your doing and seize this opportunity! Let's see if satan can stop this.



All you have to do is:

Simply pray for the person who sent this message to you: Lord, you better know the life of _________.

I ask You to bless him/her in all
realms and make him/her prospering.

Take care of his/her family, his/her
health, his/her work and all his/her plans for this year.
Lead him/her not into temptation, but deliver him/her from evil. In Jesus' name - Amen.

Then, send this link to many people, whom you want them to pray for you.

Once, that people will pray for you and you will make that many people pray to God for other people.

Think a moment and appreciate the power of God in your life, for doing what pleases Him.

If you are not ashamed in doing this, please, follow Jesus' instructions. He said (Matthew 10:33): "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will

I also deny before my Father who is in heaven".

If you are not ashamed, send this message... Only if you believe in Him.

Yes, I love God. He is my source of life and my saviour. He keeps me alive day and night.

Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him "I can do all
things through Christ which strengtheneth me". Philippians 4:13.


This is the simply proof. If you love God and your are not ashamed for all things He has done for you, send this to all those you love.

My Dear Brothers / Sisters,
You are always remembered in my prayers.
Also keep me and my family in your prayers

Bible Reading

They will come with weeping;
they will pray as I bring them back.
I will lead them beside streams of water
on a level path where they will not stumble

------Jeremiah 31:9 (New International Version)

Dearest Abba, Father, hear my voice, Let Your ears be attentive to my cry for Your mercy. God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit- May there be oneness among three of You and me as You three have been one from eternity that the world may know that I am beloved of the Father. Father God, before I even ask, You know better than I do what I need. Your will alone is good and perfect.Do for me what You see best.

I am tired of stumbling and falling time and again. Raise me upto to a level wherel find complete rest in Your providence and care. O dear Father, speak, for I am listening. And hear me when I pray. Make my path straight for Your name's sake. Make my life mature in the complete dependence on You for my spiritual, physical and material needs. In the name of Jesus Christ who is the source of river of living water by whose side I will prosper and I will be blessed in my going out and coming in, I pray. Amen.

Bible Reading for the Day

Do not say, 'A conspiracy,'
Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy,
Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.
The LORD of hosts, Him you shall hallow;
Let Him be your fear,
And let Him be your dread.
He will be as a sanctuary
----Isaiah 8:12-14 (New King James Version)

Dearest Abba, Father, the situations of this day are very bad and horrible. Everyone is scared of his future which has become so uncertain. Experts of this world say that it's going to get worse. My heart is narrow. My vision is shortsighted. I am prone to be swayed by the opinion of these so called experts who know nothing about Your promises to me, Your beloved child. Help me not to fear those things which make these people fear, who are not part of Your family. Let me not put You to shame by worrying about my future.

O Father, forgive me for all the times I distrust You. Yahweh, take me to Yourself and imprison me so that I can be free of the cares of this world. Ravish me so much so that I be enthralled and live in the fullness of Your Spirit that You have promised me. Expand me, open me and fill me to the measure of Yourself. I need You. I need you every moment of my life. Gracious God, I hope in You, because nothing can ever compare to You. Help me see what You see about my future. I am seeking Your favor. I believe that You are listening to me now for you see that how severely my heart is troubled. Help make me a fearless winner in You. In Jesus' name
Amen.

Bible wording for today

I will treat you with such kindness that you will grow strong, and I will also keep my promises to you. Your barns will overflow with grain each year. I will live among you and never again look on you with disgust. I will walk with you--I will be your God, and you will be my people. I am the LORD your God.

------Leviticus 26:9-13 (Contemporary English Version)


Dearest Abba, Father, You are truly great. You are truly just. You are truly loving. Most High God, there is none or nothing above You. Everything was created by Your Word and everything is subjected to You. You ordain circumstances and situations in our lives to bring about Your plans to fruition. In wonder and hope, I call out to You, the Almighty God - a God who is intimate, a God who cares and protects, a God who loves and forgives. You have the power to bring out living water out of my parched soul, to liberate my oppressed mind, to bring triumph from tragedy. In spite of being fully aware of Your authority over everything that's happening in my life, I am tired of waiting, Abba. I have suffered too long and I am beginning to lose hope. I turn to You now, Yahweh- Adonai, to put an end to this agony of mine. If relief is not near, give me the patience and the strength to continue to dwell in the darkness, to face this time of suffering with courage and dignity and faith. While I am passing through this darkness, let me not forget the things You have taught me in the light.

Help me remember always that You are holding my hand and I need not be afraid. You embrace me close to Your heart When I call You comforting me. Though You already know the glorious end You have for me, You stand with me in this moment and You stoop down to hear my fears and concerns without despising me for having so little faith. Teach me, a sinner to walk in the way You have ordained for me. Be my light, El-Shaddai; illuminate my way. Lead me to joy and healing and peace. In the name of Jesus Christ -the worthy lamb Who was slain for my sins and Who is worthy to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise and power, forever and ever, I pray. Amen.

Bible Reading for the Day

For the mountains may move
and the hills disappear,
but even then my faithful love for you will remain.
My covenant of blessing will never be broken,"
says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
-----Isaiah 54:10 (New Living Translation)
Dearest Abba, Father, I need to know that You are with me, that You hear my cry. I long to feel Your Presence not just this day, but every day. When I am weak and in pain, I need to know You are beside me. I do not pretend to know Your ways. The lot You have bestowed upon me is a heavy one. Sometimes I am angry with You. Because You have the power to change the problems and sufferings in my life. But You choose to remain silent. I want to know why. There are times when I want to have nothing to do with You. And there are times, like this time, when I seek to return to You. I feel so empty when I feel that I am far from You. Watch over me and my loved ones.

Forgive me for all that I have not been. Help me to appreciate all that I have. Help me to find my way back to You so that I may never feel alone. Abba, I long to be heard by You and to hear from You. I can't go on like this. Fill me with faith that You are always with me. Remind me and manifest in my life that You are merciful toward me to turn my curses into blessings, my shame into pride, my sadness into strength, my defeats into victories and my lack into abundance. In Jesus' name, I plead. Amen.

Bible Verse For The Day

Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit," says the LORD Almighty.

-----Malachi 3:10-11 (New International Version)


Dearest Abba, Father, When it seems that we are actually, finally at our wits' end, and we've seen the end of all that we can do, that is when you are at your nearest. Help us to reach the end of our self so that we can experience Your best. Sometimes it seems that there is no solution for the problems we are facing. Nevertheless, you know everything. You can see the end. Since we are Your precious children, we believe that You will make the end more wonderful than our beginnings.

Don't let the enemy steal away the blessings you have showered up on us and don't let the devices of the enemy prevent the answers of our prayers reaching us. Take, Yahweh-Adonai, and receive all my abilities, my memory, my understanding and my will; all that I have and possess. You have given them to me; to you, O Lord, I give them back to you. All things are yours.Help me use them according to Your will to bring glory to Your mighty name. Give me your love and your grace. In Jesus' name. Amen

Bible Verse For The Day

Dearest Heavenly Father, You are most glorious and excellent over all. You are good beyond all that is good. You are above all things. Abba, I come to You seeking forgiveness and a fresh understanding. You are the light never goes out. Your eyes never close. Your ears never shut. Your heart never grows cold and Your hand never stops reaching me to comfort me when I am hurting. It's better to be subjected to Your wrath than to fall in the hands of men because even when You are punishing me, You are driven by Your everlasting love and tender mercies.
I understand that painful circumstances are allowed in my life by You to change my conduct and my character. I understand that Your love for me is not a pampering love but a perfecting love. You don't deal me with kid gloves but very strongly and precisely as a surgeon deals with his patient to remove whatever malignant parts in his body to make him whole. When You are done with working on me, You'll help me to come out as gold. I admit that You are always right. It's me who is wrong. I haven't been faithful where You've put me. I have misused the talents You have given me. Most times I have treated You as the second best. I have been very careless with my devotion to You whereas You don't deserve anything less than the best I can offer.
Forgive me, Father. Take me in again. Embrace me. I feel so lonely. Touch me. Let me experience the warmth of Your love again. Restore me and reassure me how dear I am to You. You are my perfect parent who uses perfect methods in perfect measures to bring about Your perfect will in my life. I bow my knees and submit to You completely. Cut me deep and take away all that is evil from me. Abba, I need You and I need You now more than ever and If I have ever loved You, Lord, it's now. Come and have Your way in me.
Glorify Your name through all aspects of my life. I sacrifice all the members of my body as a living sacrifice to You. Accept my offering and give me Your smile. In the name of Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, I seek Your mercy. Amen.
