Possibilities Are Never Ending

Possibilities Are Never Ending


Possibilities means a chance of likelihood.For example: There is a possibility that Mr Rahul Gandhi may come in power in the coming 2019 election. We use opportunity to talk about a situation in which we can do something that we want to do.In other words something that can be done or achieved.Matt.19:26 " But Jesus looked at them and said, For mortals it is impossible,but for God all things are possible." Matt.17:20 " He said to them,Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mountain,Move from here to there,and it will move;and nothing will be impossible for you." Again Mk.10:27 says " Jesus looked at them and said,"For mortals it is impossible,but not for God;for God all things are possible." All the bible verses shows the possibilities if one have full faith on God.

The sun was setting in the west over the mountains.Half of the orb had already dipped beneath the ridge. In a few minutes the whole sun disappeared behind the still-glowing mountain range.Then darkness descended on all sides. But just then,another light began to ascend. It was the full moon,rising in the east as the sun set in the west. Soon,the whole scene was lit up again.This is a sign of nature. When one possibility ends,another begins. So it is for individuals and nations -there is always hope. By grasping fresh opportunities and utilising them,one can arise again. Don't ever giving up go on trying.

Have you ever felt like you were praying for the impossible. There is a power of God that is released in the impossible place.God is looking for faith, and real faith has to do with the impossible.Encourage you to pray impossible prayers-to launch out into the deep and pray God-sized prayers. God loves it when we pray for the impossible,when we believe Him for things that are beyond our abilities. He is looking for those with faith who will still press through in prayer when the going seems absolutely impossible. He is the God of the impossible.

The world is full of wonderful opportunities. Here,when matter perishes,it becomes energy,when darkness comes,a new light emerges from its depths; when one building falls, it leaves a place for the construction of another.So it is with events in our lives.
From every failure emerges the chances of new success. No one need lose heart in this world. However certain uncompromising circumstances may seen,they contain somewhere the possibility of triumph for man.

The Possibilities of prayer are the the possibilities of faith.Prayer and faith are twins.One heart animates them both. Faith is always praying. Prayer is always believing.Faith must have a tongue by which it can speak. Prayer is the tongue of faith. Faith must receive.Prayer must rise and soar.Faith must give prayer the wings to fly and ascend.Prayer must have an audience with God. Faith open the door,and access and audience are given. Prayer asks.Faith lays its hand on the thing asked for.

Several things happen in our lives when we face the impossible place. We often do not like to be challenged in this way,but God does a deep work within us when we face the impossible with persevering faith.

What one should do is seek out these possibilities and use them to turn one's defeat into victory.Though no one can go back and make a brand new ending. Remember,every dark cloud has a silver lining. The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings.

Generosity Is The Spirit

Generosity Is The Spirit

Literally meaning of Generosity, a willingness to give help or support by the way of money, kindness. A christian definition of generosity-Jesus fed five thousand people with five barley loaves and two small fish. His nature is to be abundantly generous. The good news for us is that we can learn to be just as generous. Jn.6:11-13 " Then Jesus took the loaves,and when he had given thanks,he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted." 

In other words generosity is an aspect of God. One of the attributes of God's nature, one aspect of love, we could say,is its generosity or abundance.The five thousand people in the crowd were not just kept for starvation -they are generously provided for! The abundance was sufficient to be gathered up and put to good use so that none of that blessing would be wasted. 2Pet:1:3-4 " His divine power has given us everything needed for life and godliness,through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.Thus he has given us,through these things,his precious and very great promises,so that through them you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of lust,and may become participants of the divine nature."

Definition of Spirit-the non-physical part of a person which is the seat of emotions and character,the soul,the prevailing or typical quality,mood.Its a particular way of thinking,feeling,or behaving,especially a way that is typical of particular group of people, an activity,a time,or a place.Eg: players have a very strong team spirit-loyalty to each other.

Many ask for blessings,but only few receive.The giver is always giving but the taker is not there-the sincerity is missing.One who gives blessings gives freely,but the one who receives has to be sincere.Sincerity is the qualification to receive blessings.Why do people choose to be sincere only sometimes.People are going after pleasure makes them insincere.When you are sincere,you simply enjoy pleasure without craving for it.Sincerity is being in touch with your depth.When you feel you are struck in life and not growing, or are bombarded by desires,when you feel dryness,no enthusiasm,no juice,what do you do.

Feel generous -right now,not tomorrow,but right now.Both rich and poor can feel generous .Generosity is a quality of spirit. When you feel generous,your life becomes abundant,full of compassion and love.

Gratitude always has self-concern.You are greatful because you have something or you get something.Essentially,generosity is not an act. It is state of consciousness,but it finds its expression in an act. 

A person who is generous of spirit is generally considered a magnanimous person,high-minded,fair,noble,big and worthy. People who are generous spirits tend to extend to others what they want for themselves. It is the golden rule personified.

God Bless The Nation

God Bless The Nation


Ps.33:12 "Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage". May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, ever as we put our hope in you.

Conscience is the light of the soul that burns within the chambers of our psychological heart. It raises its voice in protest whenever anything is thought of or done contrary to righteousness. Conscience is a form of truth that has been transferred through our genetic stock in the form of knowledge of our own acts and feelings as right or wrong. Conscience is an unbiased witness.If conscience sting once, it is an admonition, if twice, it is a condemnation.

We are to be those who stand in the gap, who lift up our nation with all it favors and faults before the throne of God, and pray that He continues to work.

Corruption is an assault on consciousness. If you take bribes, your thoughts and actions are registered in the subconscious mind. It is a painful reality that corruption has become a way of life, affecting all aspects of living,personal and social. It is not merely pecuniary corruption but other forms of corruption as well such as female foeticide that is cause for concern.

Sin is the act of transgression against divine law. Sin can also be viewed as any thought or action that endangers the ideal relationship between an individual and God; or as any diversion from the perceived ideal order for human living.

If you perform wrong actions and sinful deeds and treat them lightly today, you will not hesitate to commit serious crimes tomorrow. If you allow one sin to dwell in your conscience, you pave the way for the entry of thousand sins.

1 Jn.3:4 "Everyone who commits sin is guilty of lawlessness; sin is lawlessness". The bible also describes sins of omission-that is, failing to do what is right.

Every religion has a central component: Spirituality that is driven by compassion and love. Rationality and logic are intrinsic to science and spirituality. If both the aspects are unified, amalgamated in our own patterns, we can transcend to that level of thinking, in which unity is a cohesive aspect. And for this environment, science and spirituality have to interact.

Spirituality as that is often experienced as a source of inspiration in life and it can encircle belief in immaterial realities or experience of the immanent  or transcendent nature of the world.Once spiritually built up in human being, sins are to be reduced and lead a good personal life, it helps the nation to grow.

How To Raise Your Consciousness

How To Raise Your Consciousness

Consciousness means anyone who can speak or respond to his fellow men is said to be conscious. Any dog or cat experiences consciousness when they are not sleeping. Christ consciousness is the state of awareness of our true nature,our higher self,and our birthright as children of God.In other words its a level of awareness where you no longer see mistakes in any action that you do or in any other human being,but see only the beauty and perfection in all things.

Reflection of a Royal Philosopher. Eccl.1:9 "What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun." Top 11 ways to raise your consciousness,they are:-

1.Forgive yourself and others: Life is too short to hold on to regrets, grudges,miscommunications, or disappointments.  Free yourself by forgiving and letting go of any negative energy you are holding on to about yourself or others. The process of forgiving yourself and others will result in your feeling light and free.It will raise your vibration.

2.Simple principle of life: No matter how many times teeth bite the tongue. They still stay and work together. That is the spirit of forgiveness and relationship.  

3.Practice gratitude and appreciation: Whatever you focus on grows. So,when you focus on everything in your life you feel grateful for all and the wonderful people you appreciate, the universe hands you more to feel grateful about. 

4.Live each day as though it were your last: Then you will be living in a state of light, love and unconditional contribution. What would you say to the people you care about.

5.Meditate or pray: You open up a direct link between yourself and the spiritual realm when you meditate or pray.You will come closer to your creator energy,raise your vibration experience, peace,clarity,joy and connection, as well as a perfectly balanced state between your mental, physical,emotional and spiritual realms.

6.Suspend judgement: One judges another to feel less guilty about one's own misgivings. Judgement energy is dense, dark and heavy. On the other hand, unconditional acceptance is light,free and accepting. Let go of judging and criticising yourself and others. Everyone is on a different path and some appear to be farther ahead on their path than others.  Neither path is better nor worse than another. Raise your consciousness to one of acceptance.

7.View every experience as a gift: If you look back at occurence in your life,you can easily see how even the worst situations you experienced in your life ended up teaching you invaluable lessons and therefore resulted in putting you in perfect place for continuing development. When you view every experience the good, the bad, and the ugly, as a gift,life flows more like a gentle,inspiring breeze.

8.Stay consciously aware of all your thoughts and feeling:  It is easy to fall in to negative patterns of complaining and feeling like a victim of society and your life. When you catch yourself in the negative zone, don't feel badly about it and beat yourself up. Simply choose to switch your consciousness to one of gratitude and positive thinking.

9.Treat your physical body as your temple: Your body is the only vehicle you have been given for this ride called life. The better you care for your body by eating a healthy, balanced diet, and by implementing a regular exercise routine, and giving your body the rest is requires, the more you will experience increased energy,vitality, joy and freedom.

10.View the world through the eyes of a child: Children are enthralled by the process of observing and experiencing the wonder and beauty in every single thing. They can't get enough. Look at every tree,sunset, cloud and human being as a child would and you will be in a constant state of wonder, joy,surprise,acceptance and enlightenment.

11.Give love,love from your heart: It's all about love. Love is the highest vibration.Allow yourself to receive love unconditionally from others.Give love from your heart unconditionally to yourself and others and you will experience the highest state of consciousness possible.

Successful Parenting

Successful Parenting

Parenting is the most important job on the planet.Giving kids whatever they ask for is disastrous parenting. It is important that we discipline children a way that teaches them responsibility. We need to motivate our children internally, to build their self esteem and make them feel loved.If our children as disciplined in this respect, they will not feel the, a need to turn to drugs, gangs or sex to feel powerful, they obey parents and elders.

Prov.22:6 "Train your children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray." This is the best known parenting verse in the Bible. There is a clear cut correlation between the way you parent and the way your sons and daughters turn out as adults.

Your Child's self esteem is greatly influenced by the quality of time you spend with him.Now a days both the parents are working. With our busy lives, we are often thinking about the next thing that we have to do. If we don't give our child Genuine Encounter Moments,he or she will misbehave. Negative attention in a child's mind is better than being ignored.

Statistics reveal that we give our children over 1000 commands. For example, if you have nagged your child about unrolling his socks that are unrolled. Action speaks louder than words.

Ways to help them feel powerful are to ask their advice, give them choices, cook a meal,help you in shop or whatever they can do it in small way.

Deut.6.6:-7 " Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise." Parents should talk about the word of God.  It's not relegated to beside prayers or after dinner devotions.Be intentional about talking to your kids about the Bible.Study it with your kids, and bring it up throughout the day.

Ask yourself what would happen if I didn't interfere in this situation. If we interfere when we don't need to, we rob children of the chance to learn from the consequences of their actions.

Children and Parents.Eph.6:1"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother"-this is the first commandment with a promise."

Eph.6:4 " And, Fathers,do not provoke your children to anger,but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord."

If your child is testing you through a temper tantrum, it is best if you leave the room or tell the child you will be in the next room if he wants to,try again.

Never tell a child he is bad. That tears at his self-esteem. Help your child to recognise that it isn't that you don't like him, but it is his behaviour that you are unwilling to tolerate.

Parent be kind and firm at the same time. Suppose you have told your 6 year old child that if she isn't dressed by the time the timer goes off, you will pick her up and take her to the car. She has been told she can either get dressed in the car or at school.Make sure that you are loving when you pick her up, yet firm by picking her up as soon as the timer goes off without any more nagging.

Keep the future in mind.Parent in a way that keeps in mind how we want our child to be as an adult. For example, if we spank our child, he will learn to use acts of aggression to get what he wants when he grows up.

At the same time there is a definite need for parents to establish a healthy relationship with your kids.If possible,visit the school early in the year to meet with your child's teacher and administrators or principal, keep in touch with them to find your child behaviour and how he/she perform in studies and other activities in the school. At least you find out who is his close friends and their behaviour. 

Be consistent, follow through. Parents should explain their children how they brought up by your parents. How much struggle they face in their life to brought them up.They should also know the struggle you are facing in your day today life.Never think that your children should not struggle the way you struggled in life.If you have made an agreement that your child cannot buy candy when she gets to the store, do not give in to her unreasonable demands or pouting. Your child will learn to respect you more if you mean what you say.

You'll never be a hundred percent perfect parent, but you can be a praying parent. Prayer is your highest privilege as a parent. Prayer turns ordinary parents into prophets who shape the destinies of their children, grandchildren, and every generation that follows. Your prayers for your children are the greatest legacy you can leave.

Choose Your Option In Time

Choose Your Option In Time


In our daily life,we perhaps have some kind of bad experience,may be big or small.There is no escape from experiences. One has two options,either to ignore them or try to react. The first option is a form of forgiveness,while the other amounts to engagement and,in some cases,even revenge. Which is the better option?

We have to decide by looking at the result,for that is the determining factor.Forgiveness is a better option for it is based on a proven formula,'save yourself". Forgiveness saves you from distraction,it saves your time,and it saves you from creating more problems.In contrast,reaction and emotional revenge means turning the bad into worse,for revenge tends to worsen the problem.If forgiveness is buying time,revenge is just wasting time without hope of any positive result.

Love for Enemies. St.Luke 6:27-29 "But I say to you that listen,Love your enemies,do good to those who hate you.Bless those who curse you,pray for those who abuse you.If anyone strikes you on the cheek,offer the other also;and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt".Forgiveness brings inner peace.There is no love without forgiveness,and there is no forgiveness without love.

To forgive is the highest,most beautiful form of love.In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.Always try to forgive your enemies nothing annoys them so much. 

Mahatma Gandhi says "The weak can never forgive.Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong".Forgive all who have offended you,not for them,but for yourself.Forgiveness is the sweet revenge.

In such situations,people tend to give in to negative thinking,but such a reaction would be unwise.The better formula is following a self-oriented course of action.So,if you are having a sad experience,don't think about the other party who you feel has wronged you.Think about your own self and adopt a course of action that is better for you.

Revenge also consider as sin.Acts 10:43 "All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name". 

The culture of forgiveness helps in the building of better society.The revenge culture rules out the growth of a healthy society and the universe  as a whole.

Faith makes everything possible,Hope makes everything work,Love makes everything beautiful,May you have all the three as you begin each day, make it a blessed one.
