Are you passionate about Jesus? Anyone calling you a Jesus Freak?

How long can you walk with Neil Armstrong without talking about the moon? I am sure he will be passionate about the moon. He was the first man to step foot on the moon.

There are passionate people in this world. Some are passionate about Jesus. Some call them “Jesus freaks”. Some call them “fundamentalists”. Some call them “religious conservatives”. I do not agree with any of them.

They are just people passionately loving their Father in heaven. I loved my father. He was and is still my all time hero. I remember as a child, nobody will ever say a mean word about my father in my presence. They knew that I loved my father passionately. Am I fanatic for loving my father?

Passionate Christians love Christ like a child loving his father.

They talk about Him all the time. They think about Him. They commune with Him. When the father is hurt, you are hurt. When the father is happy you are happy. You will move mountains for your father. You will tell raging sees to calm down. You will face shipwrecks for your father.

You will walk in the valley of the shadow of death for your father. You will take humiliation for your father. You will take beatings for your father. It is just a family affair, the love of a father and a son! It is as simple as that.

Tie your belt and run like Elijah. Can you hear the sound of abundant rain? It is coming. It is coming. The torrential downpour of the Holy Spirit is falling on the hills and the valleys. Parched lands will be flooded with his Spirit. The prophets of doom will die. The God of Elijah will triumph.

So are you not yet passionate about Jesus? Its time……

For any parent the greatest gift is their children. They love the children and strive hard to give them a bright future.

When I was small, my dad used to run behind me always. Especially when I started to take my first steps of walk. Most of them made fun of my dad and accused him saying it’s usual for children to fall while walking. They told him that there was no need to worry so much. When I heard this I felt a need to ask my dad as to why he used to do this. And my dad gently told me ‘once while you were learning to walk, you stumbled and fell and you hurt yourself badly. Hence I didn’t want that to repeat… so every time you tried to walk I allowed you, but would always be behind you to hold you if you stumble.’ Well, a father’s love is immeasurable…

If the earthly father can love us so much I wonder how much our Heavenly Father loves us.

Even our dear Lord stands behind us in all our endeavors… He allows us to walk and lead our future yet He holds us… His protective hands are always with us to guide us and lift us when we stumble… So let us walk boldly. Because no matter the whole world laughs at us, ridicules us, the One who loves us is always and forever with us…

The Lord God Almighty, who is the creator of heaven and earth, is love (1 John 4:8). Love motivated God to give the best – His only begotten Son – to the world (John 3:16). He has loved every person in every generation. He loves all sinners, as well as all believers. Since we were all sinners at one point in our lives, we could have referred to Him as God, just as earlier generations did before the ministry of Jesus. However, Jesus came revealing God as the Father and showing the Father’s love. Through the crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus became the way for sinners to be reconciled to God and become a member of His family. After you accept Jesus as your savior, the Lord God Almighty becomes your Father. He may be considered as God to the world, but He is known as Father to His children. It is the great love of the Father that creates children rather than servants.

There was a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness.

The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. He hesitated only for a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, “Yes I’ll do it if it will save her.”

As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, “Will I start to die right away”.

Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her. But why do we not wonder, that he was ready to die for his sister!

Unconditional Love of God

The Bible tells us that “God is Love” (1 John 4:8). There are many passages in the Bible that give us God’s definition of love. The most well known verse is John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” So one way God defines love is in the act of giving.

However, what God gave (or should we say, “who” God gave) was not a mere gift-wrapped present; God sacrificed His only Son so that we, who put our faith in His Son, will not spend eternity separated from Him. This is an amazing love, because we are the ones who choose to be separated from God through our own sin, yet it’s God who mends the separation through His intense personal sacrifice, and all we have to do is accept His gift.

God is Love, and His love is very different from human love. God’s love is unconditional, and it’s not based on feelings or emotions. He doesn’t love us because we’re lovable or because we make Him feel good; He loves us because He is love. He created us to have a loving relationship with Him, and He sacrificed His own Son (who also willingly died for us) to restore that relationship.
