In Christ Alone, My Hope Is Found

Amen

You are relying on yourself. You want to do it all by yourself. You don’t want to believe, you just want to know. You have a million questions, well, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but you just want the answers, you don’t want the one who answers, and that is very bad. He is withholding all the answers from you precisely because he is waiting for you to trust in him. Are you willing to trust him even if he never answers those questions? You are reluctant to rely on him, because the way he works is not how you expect of him. So you, stubborn and naive child, try to take things into your own hands. So you rely on yourself, striving to figure out the answers. How foolish. Don’t you know that everything, every little knowledge, whether good or bad, right or wrong, that mankind knows has been known only because God allowed us to know? Unless it is his will, you will never know, and his mysteries will be hidden from you. You are completely at his mercy, and you struggle to get rid of his touch, as if you know better. You don’t. You are fighting so many unnecessary wars, and you think it is noble, because at least you are fighting. No, not every war is noble, not every war is glorifying. You are fighting the wrong war. Your wars are futile, God never meant for you to struggle with yourself. These mountains you are carrying around, you were only meant to climb. And by carrying these meaningless baggages, you are steering away from your true course. It is impossible to please God without faith. Anything done without faith in his name, no matter how good it appears outwardly, adds no value to the Kingdom, and receives no glory from the Kingdom. You are doing “good” things without faith, you are doing them just because you think you should, with self-reliant struggling. That is why you are receiving no reward, no comfort, no joy, no peace. You did not let everything flow from a heart of faith, because your heart is empty, devoid of faith, filled with anxiety, filled with questions you compulsively and obsessively try to answer by human knowledge. You must stop. You must turn to him. You must pray first and foremost to want to want him. Until he becomes your utmost pursuit, all your other pursuits will continue being futile.

1 Corinthians 16:14 (NIV) - Do everything in love.

Amen! 🙏🕊️🙌

The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer. Psalm 6:9I waited patiently for the LORD; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. Psalm 40:1-2Are you tired of waiting? Maybe, nothing seems to be happening. Maybe, you feel God is not hearing your cry for help. But your cry has reached the Lord your God. He will intervene with His divine wisdom, knowledge and understanding. His answer and His guidance will be the best. He will never never fail you.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit…” (John 15:5)
The branch of a grapevine doesn’t have to strain to produce grapes . Just having the sap—which is the life blood of the tree—flowing through it, causes the branch to produce its fruit. But if the branch is detached, it’ll eventually die. The same holds true for every Christian who stays connected to Jesus. If we abide in Him, His life will flow through us and His Spirit will enable us to bear much fruit. We will truly be useful in His Kingdom. Will you draw near to Jesus and abide in Him?

Proverbs 3:6 - At times we have the habit to figure things out our own way believing our wisdom or strength will somehow work things out.

It won’t work but this will: When we Seek God’s Will by Seeking Jesus then we will know what to do and where to go; because Jesus is Light. All you need is Faith in God and He will lighten your heart with truth and direction. Amen

Welcome To Youth Treasure!

What a world (and a site) filled with such darkness! It seems as though every corner we look there is something the enemy bombards us with - whether it’s sexual immorality, filthiness, or violence.

But thanks be to God who has a remnant of people who have not bowed to the lies of this world 

Here in this blog I will write what the Lord puts in my heart and I encourage you to read my older post in my main site

God bless and hope you stay along!

Guys, we should really be careful with the type of media we feed our minds with. As beloved sons and daughters of God we are called to separate ourselves from all worldiness.

I know when I was a younger Christian I would hear secular music and play video games filled with violence, and some promoted magic.

God in His love corrected me and showed me how evil these things are. Why should I spend time with video games that call evil good and good evil?

Or why should I listen to secular music whose artist are blasphemous, who live sexual immoral lives, and or promote homosexuality?

May we come out from among them and be separated to God alone in Jesus Christ. Amen

Btw when I threw out all my video games, that same day when I went to bed I had a dream. In it I saw a great dragon and rising it looked at me with great rage! Praise God, the devil was angery because I disposed those worldly things which was keeping me from the source of all life, Jesus Christ!
