The Hole

Will you remain in the hole? Its your DECISION!

Devil's greatest fear!

If you understand what Jesus’ death on the cross means for you, you will never accept suffering in your life again. If you believe in what He accomplished for you on the cross, you will reject every kind of curse, disease, guilt, failure, sadness and defeat.

The Holy Spirit through the apostle Paul spoke about what the Lord Jesus achieved on the cross: “And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” (Col. 3:5)

Do you know what the devil’s worst fear was? That Jesus would go to the cross and die as a perfect and redeeming sacrifice. He tried to stop Him many times and in many ways, but he couldn’t. From the day the Lord Jesus was born until His last moments on the cross, Satan was trying to stop His sacrifice:

Why? What was Satan’s fear and why did He want Jesus to come down from the cross? Why did he try to use even the apostle Peter to block Jesus from going to the cross? (See Matthew 16.21-23)

Satan knew that if Jesus went through with His sacrifice, it would mean the end of his control over mankind. He knew he would be finished.

Now the question is: Are you benefiting from the blessings He conquered for you? If not, you should know that the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus does not automatically bring blessings to your life.

For you to receive His blessings, you need to show a faith with actions, and sacrificing your life for Him is the highest, purest manifestation of faith.

Remember: faith without works is dead.

People of faith don’t wait – they make things happen.

People of faith don’t stand still and watch Jesus pass by – they use their faith to get His attention.

People of faith are not content with a miserable life after seeing what happened on the cross.

If it cost Him so much, it’s because it was worth that much. Are you taking advantage of it?

Have a great week!

Day of Decision!

One decision can change your life. On this premise, the YPG will hold the “Day of Decision” Event on September 13th in all of its Northern California branches, along with over 500 churches in 5 continents around the world. That means at least 100,000 people will gather in one spirit on that day to ask God for ‘fire’ in their life.

The ‘fire’ comes from the story of Elijah in the Bible, when he proposed a challenge to the prophets of Baal. “The God who answers by fire, He is God.” 1 Kings 18.24

Elijah was angry and tired of the situation where God’s prophets were being killed, the nation of Israel was turning to Baal, and nothing seemed to halt that tragedy. His words of rebuke, however sharp, kept falling on deaf ears. He knew that unless something supernatural happened, a clear sign from God, the situation would not change. And he himself would be killed soon.

So Elijah went for the all-or-nothing. God had to answer him or else he (and the entire nation) was doomed.

The Day of Decision Event is for people who find themselves in similar situation. Words cannot help them, Christian music soothes them but doesn’t change anything, knowledge of the Bible alone is proving meaningless. They need real answers, right now. They need God to send the fire and get them out of their miserable situation.

If you are at crossroads in life; have reached a point where it’s do-or-die; are tired of worshiping God while living in pain and defeat — then the Day of Decision is FOR YOU.

Attend a YPG meting before September 13th to get ready and know more.
