Art of Living #40

Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #40 : "Pray without ceasing." (1 Thess 5:17).

Ѧ℘☺﹩☂◎łḯ¢ €ϰ℘øüηḓ : Many times when a burden is in your mind regarding a failure or some mistake that you have made during the day, before sleeping you should evaluate it and try to GIGO and VIVO it. By now you might be beginning to think what this Greek word vivo and gigo means. Ha,ha..It is not a Greek word, but a acronym that we are going to discuss inorder to effectively practice these two principles for leading a successful spiritual lives. The first principle GIGO is to learn from our mistake that we have made and by choice throw it out from our mind. Once we continue to think over the same mistake we have made even after we have learnt the lesson from that failure, it becomes a worry that will try to become a garbage in our mind to make our life ineffective. Satan and his demonic minions are specialists in making us brood over our failures long enough to make us pitch our tent in the high seas of worries, until we become too depressed. Don't live in your past and miserably miss the present which is a gift from God. So first use the GIGO principle, Garbage In Garbage Out. In other words, the useless failure is processed to take valuable lessons out of it and then the garbage in throw out.

Then if you stay quiet after throwing our your garbage of worries out, the master technician Satan who specialises in bringing garbage again and again in to people's mind will surely make you miserable. So you need to apply the VIVO principle to stay in the virtue of peace. VIVO means Virtue In Virtue Out. What does the Bible say about VIVO? Apostle Paul who wrote one third of the whole New Testament Bible teaches VIVO saying, "6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Php 4:6-7). We need to take the virtue of the peace of God in to our mind and let it rule us from inside out. This will happen if only we choose not to worry by giving to God all our failures, worries, fears and mistakes we have made through prayer and supplication. Prayer is giving to God once, but supplication is waiting in prayer until God answers by His Peace which is God's refree who will clearly indicate that we have received what we have prayed for.

Sometimes if the same worry remains when we wake up in the morning, it means God wants us to continue in supplication so that at the end of it God might answer us in a powerful way. When sulky and depressive thoughts attacks you in the morning, know that it is from the enemy who wants you to think that your problems are unsolvable by God. It is a lie, do not believe the enemy and lose you battle for that day. Instead know that God is waiting for you to supplicate continiously so that when the spirtual material that God expects out of you arrives exactly, the same moment God will send His deliverance from the demonic attack upon you. You might ask why should God allow such a fight to go on to the next day? You should understand that God is too concerned for you to leave you as a spineless, soulish and unfruitful child of His, but He wants to prove to the world and to the angels in heaven that you are His son who is capable to handle His fire power through preseverence in believing His Promises. God will never lead you to a place where you are in want, but when he has led you, you can be sure that God will make His grace so available to you that you will say like David, "I shall never be in want." The next time you make a mistake, GIGO and VIVO it to make your failure a stepping stone of your future success.

Apostolic Quotes

Å℘◎﹩☂øł☤ḉ ℚυ◎тℯṧ : "I do not like the painful experiences that I go through in the will of God, but if God asks me whether I will want to go through it again if I am given another life of the same kind, I will absolutely say to Him that I do not want to go any other way because I know how much I am blessed today because of it." — Abraham Israel

Apostolic Interpretation

ℬ☤♭ʟε ♥εяṧε : "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment, You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me.” (Isa 54:17., NKJV).

Å℘◎﹩ṫℴℓḯ¢ ℐηṫℯяρяεṫαṫḯℴη : Make sure you use your heritage as the servant of the Lord by standing in the righteousness of the Lord by confessing it to build you faith. Say it out loud, "I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, because my Jesus who knew no sin has been made sin for me. As a result I have been made the perfect righteousness of God in Him (2 Cor 5:21). Praise the Lord!" Then condemn every demonic tongue that releases a negative thought in to your mind and thus trying to rise against you in judgement. This can only negate the enemies strategy that you are facing now. Speak to the mountains and it will be thrown in to the sea (Matt 21:21-22). Who does it? God, but who starts this action boldly which becomes a chain reaction in the spiritual realm? It is our words spoken against demonic troubles that he brings in to our lives. SPEAK AGAINST THE ENEMY IN THE NAME OF JESUS AND CONQUER THE WORLD BY THE POWER OF GOD!

Art of Living #39

Åґ☂ ◎ḟ ʟ☤√ḯη❡ #39 : "For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand." (Psa 84:10).

Å℘◎ṧт◎ℓḯḉ Їη☂℮ґρґℯ⊥α☂☤☺η : Only those who are truly God's face seekers, who have got addicted to the presence of God can really say from their heart, "For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand." The sons of Korah who were a musical tribe of priest who dwelt in the tabernacle of God's temple to minister to the Lord through their music, came to understand the privilege of being in the presence of God so much that they considered this as their ultimate enjoyment in this earthly life. You must understand that these priests were denied property by God and were paid through the tithes of all the people for their day to day food. They never moved beyond a room, where they kept doing the same things again and again for the Lord. What did they find specially that they were able to say what a rich person in his highest enjoyment could never dare say?

If you were in their shoes you would definitely understand what they understood by experience. If a man earns a lot of money and works hard for a season and then He chooses to spend his money to drink, feast and make merry with His family and friends at the end of it all, he would be enjoying days of festivity and feasting to fill his heart with joy. But such celebration brings only momentous joy after a long time of hard work. The priest who dwell in the tabernacle to minister to the Lord do not have any property as their portion but they have the Lord as their portion and gurantee for their blessed survival and prosperity (Deut 18:1-2). When they depend on the Lord day in and day out for their day to day survival and joy, what would the Lord do? He will be very pleased not only to provide them the best portion of people's offering that they bring to the Lord, but also will fill these priest's heart with His very own joy daily and thus make them to swim in heavenly ecstacy of which the richest man can only get once a season. O what a privilege!

This is the reason, those who are sold out to fulfill the will of God as bondservants are the most joyful people on this planet earth. They will be joyful always inspite of their tough circumstances that people will consider them to have gone out of their mind many times (2 Cor 5:13; Acts 26:24). In the Old Testament only the priests had this priviledge to minister to God in His temple, but in the New Testament all the believers are called to be a royal priests of God to minister in the body of their's which is the present dispensation living temple of God made without hands (Deuteronomy 12:11; 1 Peter 2:10; Acts 7:48; 17:24; John 4:24; 1 Cor 6:19). A person like Apostle Paul reminded the whole Church to rejoice in the Lord constantly because he knew the priestly potential that they had inside them (Phil 4:4). God says to all royal priestly believers of the New Covenant, "32 For after all these things [i.e. physical, material and financial needs] the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." (Matt 6:32-34). The face seeker of God will know the secret of living an abundant life on earth because of experiencing the fullness of joy in His presence and receiving the highest pleasures of life directly from the hand of God without their effort (Psa 16:11). What are you waiting for? IF YOU WANT TO FIND THE PATH OF ABUNDANT LIFE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH, START TO SPEND TIME IN HIS PRESENCE SEEKING HIS FACE CONTINIOUSLY. If you are a face seeker of God, He Himself will become your strength and make your life a time of prelude of heaven on earth.
