I am not in this Life to lose but to WIN

Lately I am lazy to read the scriptures because I feel doing facebook and do other stuff and find that more important, I know deep in my heart my soul is hungry to read the words of God but my mind got in the way. So these two days my heart keep telling me go go go and go read the scriptures for it will do you good because you know your hungry. And then I came to this passage "An athlete cannot receive the winners crown except by competing according to the rules"( 2 Timothy 2 ,5). And I was like that's so true and it remind me again that I have to go back on the right track, because I am not in this Life to Lose but to Win , one of the steps that I should know is the rules of life which are all written in the scriptures, even though I already know it but we need to read it to remind us over and over again. If we don't train our self to learn and train how to live righteous we will just lose our self , I read this passage " But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people" ( 2 Timothy 3")
I read it and I said O Father I will not be like that and give me the power to get rid of my laziness in reading and doing whats good. And I feel its very important for us to read any scriptures that will do you good it might me the bible, al-quran, books of Deepak Chopra or books of buddism everything that will feed your heart and actually practice it . My best friend said to me Erma it is hard to do Good, I said how do u know when you haven't really committed and practice it , even driving a car is hard in the beginning but at the end it made a part of you because practice makes perfect. I am here to win it, to order to do that I have to practice and do whatever pleases God, I hope that my friends and if its possible the whole world would feel the same way that I feel. And for those who are curious I found some scriptures for you guys to read.


The Rules of life

Teaching about Anger
(Matthew 5)

You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,( Idiot) ’ is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell. ( Matthew 5)
Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun set on your anger, and do not leave room for the devil . ( Ephensians 5)
“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift. ( Matthew 5)

Teaching about adultery

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell. ( FIYIt means lose the habits not your real eye or your body )
( Matthew 5)

Teaching about Divorce

“It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Teaching about Oaths

“Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’ But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

Teaching about Retaliation

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

LOVE of Enemies

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Giving to the Needy(Matthew 6)
“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Prayer
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret
y will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Forgiving

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think the


God and Money

No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money

Judging others

Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

THE GOLDEN RULE

Do to others whatever you would have them to do you . This is the law and the prophets.




Thank you

It's not a boring Life

Its been such a long time since I wrote something on my blogg since my wedding day, I wanted to write something about what has been going on on my life for awhile but I never had the "THIS IS IT" feeling to write some great excited things that had been going on in my life right now that I had on my previous posts.

Lately I have this mixed up feeling of how my future would be, what do I want to do now , what steps should I take to get what I want because I want to do so many that I just get confused and not be able to focus on my priorities. Because of these thoughts that I am having at this moment it got me losing my focuss on God aswell ,I love Him so much but all of these distress it made me not have the space to even think or havent been to able to communicate with Him. I wasnt realy myself for the passed few weeks, I got a bit borred with life.

But then God can work in such a weird way to lift my spirit up again and it happend today, I was so bored and I was watching youtube how to make a DIY dress and many more videos. At some point I didnt know what to watch anymore and suddenly I wanted to watch on youtube the Canon 7d videos because me and my husband are planning to get one. As I was browsing on youtube I came a cross this video "Canon 7D lente 24-7mm" and I thought hmm let me see the video quality of the Canon and the video quality was nice but that was not the main impact that it had on me, here is the link watch yourself and then continue reading


As I was watching the video it realy put a smile on my face and I felt that I could face myself of not having this question marks on my head about what my life will turn into. I believe that God has a plan for me and I believe that whenever I am in distress God would leave me in distress for awhile But then He would suprise me and send me wonderfull gifts that can lift me up again of not losing hope and encourage me to step in life back again with full of condifence and no distress.

I am not letting my negative thoughts to make me blind and stop making me from the goals that me and God has already decided to have and will acomplish. I am not living a boring life and so arent you.


Have a blessed day

Faith



An atheist professor of Philosophy was speaking to his class on the problem Science has with GOD. He asked one of his new Christian Students to stand and . . .

Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From . . . GOD . . .

Professor: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn't.

(The lecture theatre became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

P.S.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you'll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won't you?

Forward this to increase their knowledge . . . or FAITH.

By the way, that student was Einstein.!

Say NEXT

This week 2 friends of mine came up to me and they were poring their hearts out of what their guy that they were seeing did to them, both had a similar process going on. Friend number 1 is so deeply in love with this guy and she almost gave him everything that he needed, but he didn't want to meet her half way . My friend number 2 is madly in love with this guy who she secretly admired, dated him had sexual intercourse with him twice and this guy end up leaving her with no reason why he left blocked her from twitter and facebook.

To my friend number 1 I said: " If he doesn't want to meet you half way, what you should do is say NEXT, but if he's worth to fight you pray. Ask God to do its work because sometimes when we think hope is gone miracles suddenly happen by just asking to the Big Guy. If the guy that you like is in Gods plan then he will not go that far."

To my friend number 2 I said: " The more you chase the more a guy like that walk away from you, show him no pain even though it hurts. He is not worthy for your tears , yes you made a mistake by thinking that you Love him when its actual just Liking him. The emotion Like comes from your brain but Love comes from your heart. Many young ladies got this two mixed up end up hurting over and over again. Try to listen to your heart more, even though people say its hard to follow the Heart, its not hard its just lack of loving, understanding yourself and practice. How to practice? very easy be your own best friend communicate with your heart by praying. Your beautiful and precious in Gods eyes if that guy just played you, all you gotta do is say NEXT."

For the guys who read this please don't be offended this also counts for the ladies who can hurt a guys feelings as wel. It is not nice to hurt each other this way or other ways, if you did something wrong to one another I advise to confess what you did wrong to the person who you hurted and it will set yourself free. You can read my previous post about confessions Confessions & Forgiving
Have a blessed day

Love you

Dream and Pray


I haven put a new post for a long time, I didn't really had time for it and I thought nothing interesting was going on anyways so I thought I had nothing to post. But in fact I do have this something going on right now with my life that I am so happy and relieved about it.

You already know that me and Subhan we have this Community called PEAZMAKERZ and we do a lot of performances with our Team, but I wanted to do more then just performing not for myself but for my whole Team. Most of my team mates they don't really come from a wealthy family and most of their families live so far like in Papua and Ambon. So I prayed I asked "Father can you give us something else then just us performing, maybe that we could organize events so Peazmakerz would have extra income besides dancing." that prayer was like a few months ago because I have this dream that all my team mates would have a car , house and a good income from Peazmakerz. Anyways so months passed by and PRJ was near PRJ is an yearly event where we celebrate the anniversary of Jakarta its a huge event kind of like an festival. Last year Peazmakerz performed at the main stage of PRJ and this year we would perform at the main stage again, me and Subhan got a phone call of this retail company called LEAGUE they always endorse us for shows events almost everything. League wanted to have a meeting with us they said it was about us performing at the main stage of PRJ, me and Subhan where getting ready for the meeting and a bit nerves we were. I asked Subhan " Baby it would be cool right if we could be an small event organizer, it would be great for Peazmakerz." and Subhan said " Ask God, Go pray". And So I did again, I prayed while I was on the motor cycle on our way to one of the head office of League.

The moment we go there and were having our meeting suddenly this woman said things that was confusing to us, she said" Subhan and Erma I want you guys to make a Freestyle battle competition, Soccer, Bboy and Basketball from 9 June till 9 July, so you guys make a budget estimation and give us the budget." She talked so fast that me and Subhan was like HUH what did she said , I thought we where here discussing about us Peazmakerz performing at the main Stage. But Thank God there was this other kind Lady she said " You guys should make a small Event Organizer, the main point is we want you to handle an event from LEAGUE." I was so happy I was like YES YES YES Thank u Father and Subhan looked at me with this confused scared look on his face and said to me " I don't think I am ready for this." And I said to him " God will never give us something that we are not ready for, he knows our limit and if He give us something we should embrace it because He BELIEVE in us that we can do it."

I was so happy and Couldn't wait to tell my Team mates about the wonderful news. And at the moment we are still doing this event till 10th of July, till then I will upload some pictures of it..
thank you guys for reading this post, never stop believing, dream as bigggg as you can and pray for it. Like Big Papa said " Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." ( Matthew 11:24)

Have a blessed day

Pirate Brothers - Trailer

I am not a big fan of Indonesian movies and especially when fighting is involved, but this one I got good hopes on this one, one of the leading characters is Ferdy as know as Galo De Oura he's a famous Indonesian capoeira master/actor/fighter, cant wait for this movie to come in the theaters.
