There is only one true God who is the eternal king, Creator and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving and truthful. He has revealed Himself to be eternally self- existent- one being in the three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.  The Bible to be the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God. Humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him yet we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death and judgment entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;  The Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin, Mary, and is God's Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God's kingdom on earth. He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected and ascended into heaven, and is now alive today, in the presence of God the Father and His people. He is "true God" and "true man." We are saved by God's grace, through faith in the persin and work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can be restored to fellowship Jesus as their Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit, convicts, regenerates, justifies, and adopts us as we enter the kingdom of God as His sons and daughters. In the Sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live holy and minister super-naturally. The baptism of the Holy Spirit according to Act 1: 4-8 and 2:4 is poured out on believers that they moght have power to be witnesses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;  The victorious redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy * sin, lies, sickness and torment. The Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. He gave His church the ordinances of Baptism and Communion. The Church exists to carry on the ministry of jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the good news of God's love, discipling the nations, baptizing and teaching them to love and obey God.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;  In the ever increasing government of God and in the Blessed Hope, which is the glorious visible return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His overcoming bride * His church. Heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting death. . .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1145625228130972793-4092901310715507438?l=joshuatime.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joshuatime.blogspot.com/feeds/4092901310715507438/comments/default' title='帖子评论'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1145625228130972793&amp;postID=4092901310715507438' title='0 条评论'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145625228130972793/posts/default/4092901310715507438'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145625228130972793/posts/default/4092901310715507438'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joshuatime.blogspot.com/2008/09/i-believe.html' title='I Believe'/><author><name>Joshuatimes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00309595764016926577</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_wLWXhkn6T_E/SBc77KIu_PI/AAAAAAAAABQ/piP8S6xyrHc/S220/Photo+8.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145625228130972793.post-8021650410317642248</id><published>2008-07-09T04:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-09T04:11:23.519-07:00</updated><title type='text'>three responsibilities !!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Walk in all the way that the LORD your God has commanded you, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;so that you may live and prosper &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;prolong your days &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;in the land that you will possess.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;God's people have &lt;strong&gt;three responsibilities&lt;/strong&gt; when it comes to His commandments:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;hear &lt;/strong&gt;them, &lt;strong&gt;learn &lt;/strong&gt;them, and &lt;strong&gt;do&lt;/strong&gt; them (v. 1). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When we &lt;strong&gt;read the Word of God&lt;/strong&gt;, we should &lt;strong&gt;hear the voice of God&lt;/strong&gt; as the Spirit speaks to us personally.

I've find my way back...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;new season of this new year, new events with new "yeah"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;learn a new way of FASTING - Juicy Essentials (@IHOP fasting 101//)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fasting is simply a physical expression of our spiritual hunger and our longing for God.&lt;br /&gt;Before we can fast though, it is essential to get a vision for it.&lt;br /&gt;Why do we fast? What is our pursuit? What do we gain by fasting?&lt;br /&gt;Without a vision, fasting will become something to be done only occasionally.&lt;br /&gt;Instead, we want to institute it as a normal part of our weekly routine.&lt;br /&gt;Fasting is more than a suggestion,&lt;br /&gt;it's a discipline that must become intricately woven into our lifestyle of prayer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are three most common fasts are: Water, Juice, &amp;amp; Daniel fast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Juice fast...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;there are certain juices you may wish to avoid and certain ones that are especially beneficial. Because of their acid content, most nutritionists do not advise orange or tomato juice (these are better tolerated if mixed with equal portions of water).&lt;br /&gt;The best juices are fresh carrot, grape, celery, apple, cabbage, or beet. They also recommend "green drinks" made from green, leafy vegetables because they are excellent "detoxers."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tips: Fruit juices are "cleansers," it is recommended to drink in the morning. Since vegetable juices are "restorers" and "builders," it's best to drink in the afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most knowledgeable nutritionists recommend:&lt;br /&gt;Watermelon (my favor)— just put it in the blender without adding water.&lt;br /&gt;Fresh apple juice Green juice — blend celery, romaine lettuce and carrots in equal proportions. (Vegetable juices like this one are important, for they supply the electrolytes necessary for proper heart function!) Some nutritionists recommend warm broth, especially if you live in a colder climate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may find their recipes helpful:&lt;br /&gt;Boil sliced potatoes, carrots and celery in water. Do not add salt After about a half-hour, drain off the water and drink. Gently boil three carrots, two stalks of celery, one turnip, two beats, a half head of cabbage, a quarter of a bunch of parsley, a quarter of an onion and a half clove of garlic Drain off the broth and drink up to two or three times daily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may find the following daily schedule helpful during your fast.&lt;br /&gt;I recommend you print it and keep it handy throughout your fast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5–8AM&lt;br /&gt;Fruit juices, preferably freshly squeezed or blended, diluted in 50 percent distilled water if the fruit is acid. Orange, apple, pear, grapefruit, papaya, grape, peach or other fruits are good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10:30AM–Noon&lt;br /&gt;Green vegetable juice made from lettuce, celery, and carrots in three equal parts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2:30–4PM&lt;br /&gt;Herb tea with a drop of honey. Make sure that it is not black tea or tea with a stimulant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6–8:30PM&lt;br /&gt;Broth from boiled potatoes, celery and carrots (no salt).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suggest you do not drink milk, it is a pure food and therefore a violation of the fast. Any product containing protein or fat, such as milk or soy-based drinks, should be avoided. These products will restart the digestion cycle and you will again feel hunger pangs. Also, for health reasons, stay away from caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea or cola. Because caffeine is a stimulant, it has a more powerful effect on your nervous system when you abstain from food. This works both against the physical and spiritual aspects of the fast.&lt;br /&gt;Another key factor in maintaining optimum health during a fast is to limit your physical activity. Exercise only moderately and rest as much as your schedule will permit (this especially applies to extended fasts). Short naps are helpful as well. Walking a mile or two each day at a moderate pace is acceptable for a person in good health and on a juice fast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; However, no one on a water fast should exercise without the supervision of a fasting specialist. also fasting during major holidays is not always a good idea. Families may be inconvenienced and temptations to eat can be overwhelming. Reasons for schedule adjustments, especially during an extended fast, are two-fold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  The first is physical. Throughout your fast, you may feel somewhat weaker than normal. During the first few days, you may feel tired and irritable. Lightening your workload and cutting down on strenuous exercise would be a very good idea to maintain your health and your morale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  The second reason is spiritual. Fasting is not just denying yourself food. It is exchanging the needs of the physical body for those of the spiritual. Long times of prayer and reading God's Word will be very essential if you are to enter into a more intimate communion with God to maintain your fast to its completion. While fasting, if you dissipate your energy on numerous errands or busy-work to the neglect of spending special time with God, you will starve both physically and spiritually. You will find yourself becoming discouraged and frustrated with your fast instead of being benefited and uplifted and blessed. I don't want that to happen to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. The more time you spend with God in fellowship, worship, and adoration of Him, and the more you read and meditate upon His Word, the greater your effectiveness will be in prayer and the more meaningful your fast will be. So I encourage you to arrange your schedule accordingly! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1145625228130972793-2387100345289509929?l=joshuatime.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joshuatime.blogspot.com/feeds/2387100345289509929/comments/default' title='帖子评论'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1145625228130972793&amp;postID=2387100345289509929' title='5 条评论'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145625228130972793/posts/default/2387100345289509929'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1145625228130972793/posts/default/2387100345289509929'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joshuatime.blogspot.com/2008/04/fasting-101-juicy-essentials.html' title='FASTING 101 - Juicy Essentials'/><author><name>Joshuatimes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00309595764016926577</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_wLWXhkn6T_E/SBc77KIu_PI/AAAAAAAAABQ/piP8S6xyrHc/S220/Photo+8.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_wLWXhkn6T_E/SBcm26Iu_LI/AAAAAAAAAA0/wCg3ndjWj84/s72-c/gogogo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145625228130972793.post-7061328915561492626</id><published>2007-11-18T05:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-18T06:21:22.517-08:00</updated><title type='text'>~real talk~</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_wLWXhkn6T_E/R0BGzOCuk3I/AAAAAAAAAAs/b6iZvq1M940/s1600-h/cdlecrae_realtalk.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134181420959175538" style="DISPLAY: block;
