He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul

Christ was nailed to the cross on Good Friday and crucified between two thieves. There He suffered and He died. (Matt. 27:32-56; Mark 15:21-41; Luke 23:32-49; John 19:16b-37) 
Christ was buried in a tomb by Joseph of Arimathea, who wrapped Christ's body in clean linen, placed Christ in the tomb, and rolled a stone over the entrance. The tomb was sealed, and guards were posted. (Matt. 27:57-66; Mark 15:42-47; Luke 23:50-56; John 19:38-42)Christ remained in the tomb on Friday and Saturday. 
On the third day, Sunday, He arose, just as He said. (Matt. 28:1-10; Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-12; John 20:1-9)

1 John 1New International Version (NIV)

The Incarnation of the Word of Life

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our[a] joy complete.

Light and Darkness, Sin and Forgiveness

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[b] sin.
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.

The Lily of the Valley | Charles W. Fry

  1. I’ve found a friend in Jesus, He’s everything to me,
    He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
    The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
    All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
    In sorrow He’s my comfort, in trouble He’s my stay;
    He tells me every care on Him to roll.
    • Refrain:
      He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
      He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
  2. He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne;
    In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tow’r;
    I’ve all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn
    From my heart and now He keeps me by His pow’r.
    Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore,
    Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.
  3. He’ll never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,
    While I live by faith and do His blessed will;
    A wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear,
    From His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.
    Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessed face,
    Where rivers of delight shall ever roll.

a testimony on healing: Jesus paid it all !

Jesus paid it all for you and for me !

TESTIMONY update on 2-1-2014

This blogger has spent more than one-third of his life involved in healthcare (medical-physiological and mental health). He was always interested in how to keep a person fit physically, mentally and emotionally. He has enjoyed a healthy life since birth but had started suffering from ‘allergy’ (not proven as doctors never came to a final conclusion after numerous check-ups and tests) since a youth and especially after he started working in a banking environment. He wanted to study psychology but ended up as a banker for over twenty years. In his second profession he realized his dream and studied health psychology. He was particularly focused on rational-emotive and behavioral ways of handling health habits. As a Bible believing Christian, he also learned and practiced how prayers by faith could help ‘supplement’ (or ‘complement’) the medical-mental treatment process. He ‘worked’ as a voluntary worker with a medical professional who had her own clinic practice for over 18 years. They had counseled and ‘treated’ ‘many’.
But they soon realized that even preventive medical and health and mental care had not prevented mankind from suffering from various diseases. This watchman blogger encountered the power of the Holy Spirit and was himself healed of his chronic cold-flu-like diseases for a number of years after he decided to trust the supernatural God 100% and not take anymore medicines or other remedies or supplements from man. God’s words were his only medicine.
He observed and learned that what has worked for him had worked in many all over the world even increasingly known to many as mass and multimedia communication improved and advanced dramatically in the last hundred years, just as in Jesus’ and the early church time.
In recent years he has observed and understood in his spirit that the prophecies concerning the pouring out of the Holy Spirit in the end days is indeed increasingly in progress, That means many multitudes are being healed supernaturally all over the world. Just as many are being saved as they hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and believe, many are being healed! The twin gifts of forgiveness of sins and healing of diseases are being received by all who believe as they hear the gospel of Good News, just as in the times of the early church!
Thus, he has purposed in his heart to share the Good News increasingly and introducing to all who click on his blogs.
His urgent message to all: BE SAVED! BE HEALED! GOD WANTS YOU WELL. JESUS HAS PAID IT ALL!
