How to escape from the moral decay of this world?

This is the topic, which some people will not even to bother. But isn't it true that moral decay had brought us many sufferings, troubles, and inconvenience. Yes it is. Why people bother to spend so much to war? For personal selfish gain; why people bother to kill people? For various selfish gains also; why people go and abort baby? (by the way, there are 115,300 babies being aborted per year. This is not the latest statistic) It's also because of selfishness's sake. Moral decay is a big issues. It's a result of sin, and sin kills. "For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23)

In Bible, there is a solution for this issue.
By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature. (2 Pet 1:4 Amp)

The Bible said, we can escape from the moral decay and become sharers of God's divine nature through God's precious and great promises. Interestingly, our education system had become more and more advanced, more and more psychologists are produced, more and more people started to try religious meditations and some even practice self punished disciplinary. But none of it actually helps. It doesn't solve the roots. But in the Bible, God provides us a easier and simpler way which is to embrace His promises. There are 3,000 over promises stated in the Bible which is concerning our well being, necessary goods, spiritual prosperity, freedom from fear and sin, and our eternal future. One example: "For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace." (Romans 6:14) When we are in the grace (unmerited favor) of God, sin (which produces death) shall not have dominion over us. Isn't it great? I would say, even if you receive only half of the 3,000 promises, you are already reigning in life well enough! Moral decay got to say bye bye to you.

The only way to access into all the promises is to believe in Jesus, the one who loves us and had died for our sins (John 14:6). And the way to believe in Him is as easy as ABC. Below is a simple prayer you can make to accept Jesus into your life.

"Lord Jesus, I know You had died for all my wrong doings and sins, and You intend to make me the righteousness of God. I receive You as my Lord and Saviour. Through You, I will reign in life above all moral decays, rottenness and corruptions. I receive the great and precious promises You had bestowed on me. Amen! (let it be so)."

Congratulation! After you had Accept, Believe, and Confess that Jesus is your Lord and Saviour. You had registered yourself to be citizen in Heaven, God's beloved child, sharers of His divine nature, and heir of all the inheritance in Heaven. You can repeat the step A,B,C as often as you want, to reassure your position in Lord Jesus, in Heaven and in the world.

Greatest miracle in Jesus ministry

The greatest miracle in Jesus ministry is not healing and casting out demon, but is this: He knew that Judas Iscariot was a thief, but He appointed him to be a treasurer.

Isn't it unthinkable? He used the failure in Judas' life, intend to turn it into great use! What would you do if you know your classmate is a thief? Will you appoint him to be a treasurer in your class? I often feel thrilled by many testimonies of signs and wonders like casting out demon and dramatic healing, I am still. However, certainly it is a greater miracle to turn somebody's failure into a greater usefulness, despite how foolish he was but knowing how potential one could be in future.

Do you have any great weakness or failure in life? That part of your life probably is a part God wants to use the most for the profit of all. Don't fall into the lie of demon, the opposer (satan) want you to believe in his lie, that that part of your life is a failure, it is not useful at all. The opposer wants you to leave that part of your life become a waste land.

So what is the area in your life, which you think it's "unredeemable"? God wants to use that now!

Wonderful "Conversation" with God : )

I was thinking over my financial status, and was considering to buy something. That thing is not expensive but yet not cheap to me at the moment. And when I was searching myself and also wanna talk to God over this matter. He suddenly asked me to worship Him and give Him thanks. Though I was wondering why, I did it anyway. When I was worshiping and adoring Him in the secret place, He ask me a question: How valuable are you? When I was going to answer Him, what came into my mind was the world most expensive house "Antilla". I just read about this in internet previous night. It is an awesome residential, which had cost $1 billion. Amazingly expensive and luxurious and grand. A moment later, there is one verse in bible came into my mind:

"Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are." (Matthew 6: 28-29)

And He asked me again: "How much do you worth, My son." And this time I think carefully, and answer Him: my Lord, if the luxurious clothing of King Solomon is not even comparable with the lilies in the field, I guess I am more expensive than the world most expensive house which's worth $1 billion. And He said: Yes! Good answer, not only that. Compare to My children, the "Antilla" house is just a piece of trash in My eyes! Somebody may willing to pay more than $1 billion for the house. But $1 billion can't buy you, you are far more expensive than that. You're so valuable, I would shed my blood and give my life to purchase you.

After God spoken to me, I was touched and faith is rising. And I told God I wanna go and plan my finance to buy the thing I said in the beginning. But He wants me to post the conversation we had, in my blog, I had stopped blogging for long time. So I opened my blog and post it anyway. And when I go and copy and paste the verse matthew 6:28-29, guess what actually the next verse is?

(Matthew 6:30) "And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?" : )
