God does not need to think  but we do need to PRAY Proverbs 16:1 The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. God has a different nature, his mind does not operate like humans’. He does not need to think; and by thinking I mean to evaluate and rearrange the motives and ideas. He has the answers because He has the absolute wisdom.  The preparation of the heart or thinking belong to man. And Adam's fall made it harder, now we have an imbalance; we need to weigh things, to question our motivations and ideas. The knowledge of good and evil made us know them both but yet we like them both. We usually need to work our minds and hearts to differentiate between good and evil. There is a conflict between our Spirit and our flesh. Our spirit wants to do the will of God but our flesh wants to submit to its body desires. Mark 14:37 “The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” When you are born-again "Prayer" becomes

Part of being a human is to wonder if you are living up to your moral standards and raising to your potential. The answer might seem straight forward most of the time. But when you are seriously looking for an honest answer your might find it challenging to decide. If we took this question to the Bible, we will find an expansion to this confusion; we know that God created man in his image. We also know that man fell and was cursed. So we are a cursed version of a creation which was in the image of God. Yet God says that his delights were with the sons of men. On the other hand, he regretted that He had made man because of man’s sin. Yet our potential is precious enough that God sent his only Son to die for us. When a man is born-again, he realizes that there is a conflict inside, there is the spirit and the flesh. So can we say that man is a beautiful creature? I can say yes, because God created humans beautiful. He is the perfect creator. He made us socially caring, we learn h

Jesus came to establish a covenant, a new close relationship between us and God. His first priority was to destroy all the barriers the devil had built so that he (Jesus) can restore us back. He took the initiatives and showed us that God loves us to an extent that we can’t believe or comprehend. God regularly opens our eyes to realize what is in his heart for us. Along our journey with Jesus we gradually understand how the work of the devil is holding us back. Here are four barriers which Jesus destroyed: 1-Worries If you are working as hard as possible to secure the earthy living then let me t ell you that Jesus wants you to know that he can bless you to the level above which your business may collapse. He wants to comfort you financially, his will is blessing and prosper. God wants to visit your business; he wants to be closer to you even while you are at work. He wants to be your partner and in the same way he wants you to work with him in his mission to restore his children. 2-

Today I asked myself what is the most important thing in my life? It is a familiar question but finding the best answer is so important because this answer will determine your priorities, choices, goals and plans otherwise your life is just hanging around with no clear purpose or principles. The first idea that came to my mind is to be happy, but wait a minuet I recognize this voice, I usually hear it while I am hungry or tired. Yeah! it is the voice of the natural human living within me. Happiness can't be a reason for living otherwise I will be so self-centered and greedy. Happiness supposed to be a result of achieving a higher goal. But what is a good target? How about the challenge to work as hard as possible to achieve my targets lets say success, money, power or even competing with others to be a better person. No way, I still have the same problem, this also sounds even more selfish Since my first two guesses were self-centered, I started to look around me and realized I am

Would you like to be great? Who does not want to? Then let’s take a look on Jesus’ guidelines on how to be eternally great. The Door First he stated it clearly that to get to the eternal part or to enter the kingdom of heaven you need to be converted or turned into a little child as he explained more clearly in John 3 on how to be reborn again by the spirit. To be great The secret of being great in the kingdom is to humble yourself as a little child, as he said in mark 9:35 “if any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all and servant of all.” Kingdom members’ characteristics 1- Love one another Then he started to highlight some of the basic characteristics of his kingdom members and obviously love must come on the top of his list. Jesus said “and whoever receives a little child like this in my name receives me." to refer to his main command which is to receive or accept and love one another in his name, even though the others might have some ignorant childish behavior

Who is your hero? Unfortunately we tend to have imaginary heroes or heroes who are far from us or heroes who are limited in only one aspect of life. And I guess they do not have a strong real impact on our life, now let me show you a real hero, who is a hero in everything he does, he is very close to you and can make you a hero too. Imagine you are playing in a football team, sorry but you are not a good player nor any member of your team, while the other team is really strong (lets say Brazil). It is the world cup final and every thing in your life is depending on this match “It is your life”. Now how do you feel? How will you perform? No hope and you can not do any thing to avoid the defeat. But suddenly Jesus stepped in and offered to help your team, He will not play as a striker nor as a play maker, even though he is perfect in both, Jesus will be the goalkeeper which means no matter how good is the other team they will never be able to score. Can you see how your life is different

Mosses, David, Abraham and Joseph When we think of them we think of the salvation leader of Israel, the mighty king of praise, the blessed father of faith, the man who defeated sin and hanger. These are the ideas that come to our minds when we remember them, but in their history there is something different, something common between those heroes and period of time they all lived with faith above all doubts. And here it is; they all kept their faith in God while they were waiting for his promises to come true. It took God 40 years to reveal to Mosses how he will use him to deliver his nation, while David lived rejected and escaping from the king even though he was the anointed real king, Abraham was promised a blessings and a son who shall inherit this blessing while all wisdom and previous experiences were saying this was impossible and unreasonable. Finally Joseph was given a vision from God and for years he was treated as a guilty slave in jail. They all waited in the hard time, in t
