PREMSWAROOP MINISTRIES

He shall be like a tree

         Planted by the rivers of water,

         That brings forth its fruit in its season,

         Whose leaf also shall not wither;

         And whatever he does shall prosper.  Psalm 1:3

A CONVERSATION BETWEEN JESUS AND NICODEMUS

Nicodemus

Jesus, I know you must be from God with all the miracles you’ve been performing.

Jesus

Truthfully speaking, no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless he is born from heaven above - born again strictly by God’s doing.

That’s the issue here.

Nicodemus

Born again????? Can I expect to come out of my mother’s womb a second time????

Jesus

It’s clearly explained in the Scriptures. I thought you were a teacher for all Israel? Was I not clear about being born from heaven above by God???

It says in Ezekiel, God will sprinkle clean water on you and you will be clean. That is to say, He will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you and He will put His Spirit in you.

Nicodemus

How can this be???

Jesus

Like the wind, the work of the Spirit is a mystery, Nicodemus; but truly I say as Ezekiel said, you must be born of water = of the Spirit in the spiritual realm. It is not a physical birth.

Remember the time when Moses made a pole with a bronze snake on it and placed it for all to see so that all who believed and looked at it would not die of the deadly snake bites that were occurring?

So in the same way, the Son of Man, the One prophesied in Daniel and Isaiah to be Messiah/Savior will be lifted up in sacrifice for sins that all who simply believe in Him will have eternal life - be born again into the Kingdom of God by the work of the Spirit from heaven above.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that the one who believes in Him shall never perish in Hell but rather at that very moment he believes be given the free gift of eternal life and most assuredly as a result will enter the Kingdom of God.

The disciples 

Jesus, so what are the works one must do to gain eternal life in the Kingdom of God?

Jesus

To gain eternal life is impossible for man, but all things are possible with God.

The work one must do to have eternal life is not to work for it at all!!!!!!!

But to simply believe in the One Whom God has sent to save the world is all you must do, nothing more:

A moment of faith alone in Christ alone unto eternal life forever!!!

Delight  yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4

Ten Guidelines From God

              Effective Immediately, please be aware that there are changes YOU need to make in YOUR life. These changes need to be completed in order that I may fulfill My promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life.I apologize for any inconvenience, but after all that I am doing, this seems very little to ask of you. Please, follow these 10 guidelines

1. QUIT WORRYING:

             Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you forgottenthat I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you? Or do you justenjoy fretting over every little thing that comes your way?

2. PUT IT ON THE LIST:

               Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not YOUR list..Put it on MY to-do-list. Let ME be the one to take care of the problem. I can'thelp you until you turn it over to Me. And although My to-do-list is long, I amafter all... God. I can take care of anything you put into My hands. In fact, ifthe truth were ever really known, I take

care of a lot of things for you that you never even realize.

3. TRUST ME:

        Once you've given your burdens to Me, quit trying to take them back. Trust inMe. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your problems andyour trials. Problems with the kids? Put them on My list.Problem with finances? Put it on My list. Problems with your emotional rollercoaster? For My sake, put it on My list. I want to help you. All you have to dois ask.

4. LEAVE IT ALONE:

        Don't wake up one morning and say, "Well, I'm feeling much stronger now, Ithink I can handle it from here." Why do you think you are feelingstronger now? It's simple. You gave Me your burdens and I'm taking care of them. I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don't youknow that if I give you these problems back, you will be right back where you started? Leave them with Me and forget aboutthem. Just let Me do my job.

5. TALK TO ME:

       I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you crazy..Forgetthe worry and the fretting because you know I'm in control.. But there's onething I pray you never forget. Please, don't

forget to talk to Me - OFTEN! I love YOU! I want to hear your voice. I want youto include Me in on the things going on in your life.

I want to hear you talk about your friends and family. Prayer is simply youhaving a conversation with Me. I want to be your dearest friend.

6.. HAVE FAITH:

           I see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where you are. Havefaith in Me that I know what I'm doing. Trust Me;

you wouldn't want the view from My eyes. I will continue to care for you, watchover you, and meet your needs. You only have to trust Me.

Although I have a much bigger task than you, it seems as if you have so muchtrouble just doing your simple part. How hard can trust be?

7.SHARE:

         You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did you forget?That rule still applies. Share with those who are

less fortunate than you. Share your joy with those who need encouragement.Share your laughter with those who haven't heard any in such a long time. Share your tears with those who have forgotten how to cry.Share your faith with those who have none.

8.BE PATIENT:

              I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverseexperiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children,change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meetthousands of people, and experience so much. How canyou be so impatient then when it takes Me a little longer than you expect tohandle something on My to-do-list? Trust in My timing, for My timing isperfect. Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyonethinks I should always rush, rush, rush.

9.BE KIND:

Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They may notdress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way

you do, but I still love you all. Please try to get along, for My sake. Icreated each of you different in some way. It would be too boring if you wereall identical. Please, know I love each of your differences.

10.LOVE YOURSELF:

           As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? You were created by mefor one reason only -- to be loved, and to love in return. I am a God of Love. Love Me.Love your neighbors. But also love yourself. It makes My heart ache when I seeyou so angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very precious to me.Don't ever forget......

Note: I received this from a friend and I have no idea who wrote it, but I was sotouched by it, that I had to share it with you. I hope that you will be blessedby it and will share it with others.

Touch someone with your love!!!! Rather than focus upon thethorns of life,   smell the roses and count your blessings!

May God Bless You

Promises Of God

"Having therefore these Promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God" (2 Corinthians 7:1).

God's Promises given to His children, providing them with the ability, to walk faithfully and victoriously.

"The promises were made to be used--they were made to be used by God's children, by all who will believe them and appropriate them.They were not made to lay concealed in a gilt-edged Bible, but to be read, understood,and used. The fact is, the Bible is like a book of checks put into the hands of the needy, and we are to use them when we want anything: thus God has given promisesto every class and description of persons; and these promises were given not to behoarded up, but to be used--we are to draw liberally and freely upon the divine bountyfor all the blessings that we need... If Christians will but understand and get the impression deeply imbedded in their own minds, that these promises are regarded by God as their inheritance, given them to be used by them under all the circumstancesin which they find themselves placed, they would often much better understand themeaning of the apostle, when he says, 'whereby are given unto us exceeding greatand precious promises.'"

        We are all accustomed to promises. We are also accustomed to seeing them made and broken. Anyone who has lived for a number of years would certainly never lay claim to having kept every promise made. Thereare many reasons why this is true. Sometimes we forget, sometimes we arenegligent, and sometimes it may be due to circumstances beyond our control.

          A brokenhearted young lady will often say,"But he promised to marry me". And the answer comes back: "Yes,but I changed my mind". People do change their mind, and they do breaktheir promises.

              What about the promises of God? How certain arethey? The Apostle Paul, in writing about the promises of God to Abraham,addressed the church at Rome with these words: "For the promise that heshould be heir of the world, was not to Abraham or his seed through the Law,but through the righteousness of faith . . . therefore it is of faith, that itmight be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed"(Romans 4:13, 16).

           God's promise to Abraham was first spelled out in GenesisChapter 12. It was repeated in Chapter 22. Verse 18 reads: "And in thyseed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed myvoice".

                Now a promise is of no more value than is theability of the one who makes it to carry through. It also includes willingnessto do so. God did carry through with Abraham. Paul points out in Galatians3:16, that it was through Christ God intended to fulfill the promise toAbraham. Also in Acts 13:32-33, the Apostle says: "And we declare unto youglad tidings how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, God hathfulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesusagain."

         The contour of Jesus' life, while living on earth,was shaped by his trust in the power of the promises of God. When Jesus said: "I am that bread of life", John 6:48, "I am the light of theworld", John 8:12, "I am the resurrection and the life." John11:25, He did so fully realizing that He had been empowered with this right bythe Father who had promised to raise Him from the grave. There were more than 500 brethren at one time who bore witness to the fulfillment of this promise according to I Corinthians 15:1-6.

                   What can be said about God'spromises to us?

              He has promised to supply every need we have. The Bible says: "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus". That's Phillipians 4:19.  Now notice, God has obligated Himself only to the extent of our needs. That would include food, clothing, shelter, companionship, love, and salvation thru Jesus Christ. It would not include the multiplicity of luxuries that we have come to think of as needs.

      God has promised that His grace is sufficient for us. (II Corinthians 12:9). in fact, He has made provision for our salvation by His grace through faith. Read Ephesians 2:8. It is through an obedient faith that we have access into the grace of God according to Romans 5:2.

         God has promised that His children will not be overtaken with temptation. Instead, He assures us that a way of escape will be provided. This promise is recorded in I Corinthians 10:13. Jude wrote: "Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present your faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy" (Jude v 24). Darius, King of the Medes, said to Daniel, "Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee" (Daniel 6:16). He did deliver Daniel from the den of lions.

        God has promised us victory over death. He first resurrected Jesus by way of assuring our resurrection. Peter said: "This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we are all witnesses" (Acts 2:32). Paul wrote to the Corinthians: "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures" (I Corinthians 15:3,4). Later on he adds: "but thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (I Corinthians 15:57).

           God has promised that all things work together for good to those who love and serve Him faithfully (Romans 8:28). It may be difficult for us to see and understand how this is accomplished at times, but God has promised it, and He will deliver.

            God has promised that those who believe in Jesus and are baptized for the forgiveness of sins will be saved. (Read Mark 16:16 and Acts 2:38).

          God has promised His people eternal life (John 10:27,28). In closing, let me appeal to you to live so that the promises of God will be yours.  

The words We speak will determine whether we live a Life of Success or defeat. 

This is a list of confessions for us to speak on a regular basis. When We speak in line with the Word of God, We are releasing God's provision on your behalf.

As We get the truth of God's Word in our Spirits, We will see AWESOME results in our Life!

Therefore, I am a partaker of His divine nature. (2 Cor.6:16, John 10:10, 2 Peter 1:3-4, Romans 8:31)

Jesus gave me the authority to use His Name. That which I bind on earth is bound in Heaven.

I bind and cast down spiritual wickedness in high places and render them harmless and ineffective against me and my family in the Name of Jesus!(Matthew 16:19, John 16:23-24, Ephesians 6:12)

I am complete in CHRIST who is the Head of all principality and power. I am God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works which God has before ordained that I should walk therein . (Colossians2:10, Ephesians 2:10)

Happy New year 2010

             There’s a funny story about two buckets that used to draw water from a well. One bucket would go down to the well murmuring,“Oh, here I go again! I hate this job. I am afraid of going into this deep well; what if I fall off this rope! Carrying the water up from the well is atough job. No one understands what I am going through inside this well.Everyone loves to drink the water I carry, but no one loves me!!”

           But the other bucket had a different confession to make. Every time it goes down the well, it screams, “Wow! Here I go! I lovegoing down. I delight fetching water up for those waiting out there. I enjoy watching people drinking water and quenching their thirst. I love this job!”

         Like this story, there are two ways to walk into the New Year 2010. One is to enter in with your old baggage loaded with thoughts of anxiety and pain from the previous year. Or you could walk in with a new bag full of hope and expectation, trusting in the Lord of the ages and His promises.

           Media may predict that world’s problems would intensify in 2010. But a person who follows Jesus Christ has a different statement to make, “I arise and shine because my Lord reigns over all!”

             Every year is a fresh start that the Lord gives you. And His desire for you is to experience glorious living! That’s what Ephesians 1:11-12 (The Message Bible) says, “Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living…”

             God has designed us to be victorious and productive in spirit, soul and body. We are designed to enjoy and live inspiritual, material, emotional, physical and relational abundance.

               Lack of any sort isn’t God’s will for His people.That’s why David boldly proclaimed in Psalm 23:1 (Amplified Bible), “TheLord is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.”

              In this New Year, as you rise up every day, proclaim this verse and rejoice in faith for the Lord meeting all your needs with His abundant resources. Boldly proclaim that you are no more a loser, acomplainer, and a quitter but an overcomer, believer, and a winner.

        2010 is your year for living in the breakthrough. It is your year for the manifestation of all thatGod has promised you in the past.

             This is not at all your time to worry. This is your time to bury your worries, stand up and walk in the manifestation of His Word and its abundant blessings.

            A Relaxed Mind, A Peaceful Soul, A Joyful Spirit, A Healthy Body & Heart full of Love. All these are my Prayers for You.

Joyfully wish you an extraordinary New Year with Christ Jesus.

Yours in His service

Chandra

The Effects Of  Praise

By Andrew Wommack

                 Most Christians believe that praising God and being thankful is good; however, many think it is optional, something to do after  they have served the Lord in other ways. Some Christians only praise God when their circumstances are good and they have a reason to thank Him. The truth is that praising God is not an option. Praise has a powerful effect on the believer, the devil, and onGod. It is our highest calling.

               In Deuteronomy, God pronounced a curse on the children of Israel: "Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and withgladness of heart, for the abundance of all things" (28:47).

Even though we are not under the Law, this verse tells us that God wants us to have joyful and thankful hearts. Jesus was joyful. Hebrews 1:9 tells us that praising God at all times is part of the normal Christian life: "Therefore God, eventhy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows."

                     How does praise affect the believer? When we praise God, we are acknowledging that it is not our own efforts that produce blessings andprosperity. In Deuteronomy, chapters 7 and 8, the children of Israel are told to remember to thank God for the abundance they will receive. God, not theirown efforts, gave them wealth. Praise makes us humble.

                       Thanksgiving is also a way to abound in faith. Any time we operate in a high degree of faith, praise is present. Colossians 2:6-7 says,"As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving." When you are believing God for something and it is completed, praise is a natural response. What somepeople often neglect is that they can increase their faith with praise, and their answers will come more quickly.

                        By focusing on your problems instead of praising God, you become self-centered and prideful. Praise forces you to get your attention on God andoff your problems. Some people say that they are praying, but they are sofocused on their problems that they are actually complaining. If you focus onthe Word of God, faith will come. How do you keep from focusing on the problemwhen you are in pain or have no money? The most important thing you can do is praise God. A negative, complaining attitude won't change overnight, but beginning to praise God will start the transformation in your attitude. If youhave always been negative, you must practice thinking on positive things. Philippians 4:4 tells us to "rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say,Rejoice."

                               When we pray, we should begin with praise and end with praise.The Lord's prayer gives us this example, and Philippians 4:6-7 tells us,"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace ofGod, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds throughChrist Jesus." When you pray with thanksgiving, the peace of God will keep your heart and mind.

                       Praise will build you up spiritually and keep you from crumbling, "for the joy of the LORD is your strength" (Neh. 8:10).The Apostle Paul was persecuted and suffered far more than most of us, yet heput it all in perspective in 2 Corinthians 4:17-18: "For our lightaffliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding andeternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but atthe things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; butthe things which are not seen are eternal." First, Paul said ouraffliction is just for a moment in light of eternity. He looked into thespiritual realm. Praise will push you into the spiritual realm to see what God has done for you. Paul and Silas praised God in prison. It was the praise that released the power of God and the earthquake that delivered them from their captivity.

                      Praising God doesn't just affect us; it is a powerful we aponagainst the devil as well. Psalm 8:2 says, "Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thoumightest still the enemy and the avenger." In the book of Matthew (21:16),at the time of the triumphal entry into Jerusalem(Palm Sunday), Jesus quotes from Psalm 8. When he quoted this verse, heinterchanged the words "perfected praise" for "ordainedstrength." This is a tremendous revelation: Praise is strength (Neh.8:10)!

                           Some people are so involved in spiritual warfare that the irattention is on the devil more than on God. There is a place for fighting and resisting the devil, but focusing too much on the devil is not good. Praise isa powerful weapon against the devil that has no negative fallout. In 2Chronicles 20, Jehoshaphat appointed singers to lead his army into battle with praise unto the Lord. When they went into battle singing and praising God, theLord set an ambush, and their enemies were defeated.

                               Why does praise defeat Satan? Satan's sin was jealousy of God.He is still driven by jealousy today (Is. 14:13-14). Even if he can't get people to worship him, his goal is to keep people from worshiping God. He seeksto draw attention away from God. When we worship God, we thwart Satan's plan.

                              We have learned the power of starting a service with praise.Praise makes the devil flee and releases the anointing of God. Even the secularworld knows the benefits of praise. The medical profession says that a person who is joyful is more healthy than a person who is morbid and depressed. Praisestops a negative attitude.

                                The most important reason to praise God is that it ministers unto Him. Acts 13 describes a situation at the church in Antioch. Verse 2 says, "As theyministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabasand Saul for the work whereunto I have called them." This is an awesome statement. They ministered to the Lord. How do we minister to the Lord? We often think we serve God only by ministering to other people. This happened in Matthew, chapter 8, with Peter's mother-in-law. She waited on them and didhousehold duties. That is a ministry; however, in this instance in Acts, they were fasting, praying, and ministering to the Lord. They were worshiping and glorifying God. That also ministers to the Lord.

                        The truth is that God desires ministry. God is complete andself-contained, but He needs us to love Him. Any person who loves has a need toshow that love and a need to have that love returned. That is the reason forthe creation of man in the first place. In Revelation 4, John saw a vision of whatis happening in heaven. He saw twenty-four elders and four living creatures that don't cease praising God. In verse 11, the elders said, "Thou artworthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast createdall things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." This tells usthat God's original and current purpose for creation is for His pleasure. Godcreated us to be full of praise, joy, and thanksgiving. He is blessed by Hiscreation.

                     We are often so service-oriented that we think we have tominister to others or work at the church to bless God. We think our net worthto God is our service. We forget that if it blesses God, it doesn't have totouch anyone else. He longs to know us personally and intimately. There are hundreds of times in Scripture that God solicits our praise. Psalm 100:4 saysthat we should "enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name."

                   I married Jamie because I love her and want to share my lifewith her. Jamie is an excellent homemaker and keeps a clean house, whichblesses our family. However, if she cared more for the house than for me, itwould cease to minister to me. It is the same way in our relationship with God.Service is not a substitute for a relationship with God.

Our number one priority must be to love God personally. Praiseis giving of yourself to God — an intimate communion with Him. If we wouldpraise and seek God first, during our prayer time, other things would be addedunto us. (Matt. 6:33)

                      John 3:16 tells us that God gave His Son that we might have eternal life. Christians often think eternal life begins when you die and go toheaven, but John 17:3 tells us differently. Eternal life is now. Intimatelyknowing God is eternal life. Praise is a way to begin this love relationship with God.

               "By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, thefruit of our lips giving thanks to His name"(Heb. 13:15).

PRAISE THE LORD
