FAIR EXCHANGE
Sometimes, a very subtle fear can torment a new Christian...the fear that if he surrenders his life completely to the Lord, there won’t be anything “worthwhile” left. He becomes afraid He’ll take away all the “good times” and the “fun.”
Have you ever felt this way? These fears themselves may not keep you awake, but the guilt you build up, holding back from the Lord, can cause you to lose sleep.
Let me put your mind at rest. When you surrender yourself or any part of your old nature to the Lord, His purpose is not to leave you empty and hurting, but to give you even more in return! He does not intend to cheat you out of the “good things” of natural life; He wants to give you much richer things instead.
He wants to exchange your old habits and traits (the ones you’ll find you really don’t want anyway) for His abundant love, joy, and countless other blessings. He longs to fill you, right now: “...everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price...and let your soul delight itself in abundance” No. The beautiful part is that the Lord always makes up for the time you spend ministering to Him. You’ll find that four hours sleep will seem more like eight after such a night.
Don’t be afraid. Don’t hesitate. Let go. Give Him what He asks of you. He will satisfy your every need, and cause your life to be filled with His blessings

BEAUTY FOR ASHES
A pillow soaked with tears...this pitiful picture is not something a poet dreamed up, it is what many experience, night after night.
There are many things that could be grieving you. Perhaps it is the loss of a loved one or a shattered marriage. It could also be a wayward child, or sorrow for lost souls, or for the brokenness of God’s people.
If something is causing you grief tonight, whatever it is, the Lord’s heart is with you. He longs to comfort you and hold you until morning.
In His Word, He promises even more than comfort to those who mourn. He says He has come, “...to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for morning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified” (Isaiah 61:2b, 3).
Think of it: beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning. God has heard your cries. And He is telling you that no tear is ever wasted. You are the beloved Bride, the apple of His eye. What moves your heart moves His. You are coming into greater oneness with Him. What a comforting thought to fall asleep with

IT'S HIS FIGHTS
Occasionally, WE spend a terrible night pacing the floor...heart pounding, head throbbing, and blood racing through our veins. Why? Unresolved anger. Their question is, “What do I do with it at 2 o’clock in the morning? I know the Bible tells me to forsake it, but if it’s already overwhelmed me, what can I do?”
If you find yourself at this point tonight, try looking at your anger from another perspective. Ask yourself, “Whose battle is this, mine or the Lord’s?” Whose job is it to deal with whoever has made you angry? To whom does vengeance, repayment or chastisement belong?
In most cases, there’s only so much you can, or should do. The Lord Himself wants to take over. “...the battle is not yours, but God’s...You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD who is with you...” (II Chronicles 20:15, 17, NKJV).
If something today has made you really angry, let Him fight for you. He will guide you to constructive solutions or reconciliation, but first you must be calm and get a good night’s sleep!
Give Him your situation and let the anger drain out of you; experience a surge of His peace bathing your soul as you pray...

RECAPTURE THE JOY
Sometimes after a long exhausting day, were just too tired to engage in a long session of intercession, it is easy to fall into the temptation of joyless prayer.
On these evenings how can we recapture the joy of communion with God before we go to sleep?
I’ve found that the key is to wait on Him; just wait. Let His presence rest upon us. Instead of focusing on ourself, our needs, our weaknesses, or our desires, return to Him. Give God time to rest upon us and make Himself known to us, for as His Word says, “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength” (Isaiah 30:15). Basking in His quietness may sound easy, but sometimes we may find that it’s hard. Satan may suddenly fill our mind with all sorts of distractions and cares, or we may become so sleepy, we can’t hold our head up.
Whatever the enemy’s tactic, don’t let him rob us of the nighttime joy God wants to bestow on us! Gently begin to praise the Lord in your prayer language until the enemy flees and we recapture the joy of God’s presence....

NEW MAKE UP FOR FALL
I believe that every woman always wanted to look good and beautiful. Every one of us is looking for something we can use to pamper ourselves. Every woman love make up, perfumes and hair accessories. Bthe question is how can we sure that the brand we are using are worth of paying it. Until one day while browsing online I stumbled the one beauty website called NARS cosmetics. Included in their list of products are Lipstick ,
Lip Lacquer , Lip Gloss . Nars is a brand known to throughout the worldfor irreverent chic and audacious. Don’t miss their new makeup for fall.
AS CHRIST FORGIVE
Conflict with others is an unavoidable fact of life. We may become angry, even contemplate revenge, but we can’t afford to keep these feelings because they rob us of our peace and joy.
God understands natural anger but tells us we must deal with it by forgiving so that we will not react harmfully to others or ourselves. How can we forgive, especially if we feel we are right? Why must we forgive if they “don’t deserve it?” A verse from the book of Colossians explains in part:
“...bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do” (Colossians 3:13) Forgiving isn’t easy, but we know it’s possible if God tells us to do it. It becomes easier when we realize that we don’t have to feel forgiving, but must choose to forgive. When we take the verbal and physical actions in obedience to God, the feelings of forgiveness will eventually follow, with the help of the Holy Spirit. When you concentrate on Christ’s example of forgiveness you realize you can’t do less for others. The peace that replaces the torment of unforgiveness is worth any difficulty you may have in obeying God by choosing to forgive. Refuse your pride and self-will. Forget the wrong done to you and obey God now so that His peace will be ours forever.

CLEARING THE FOG
Did depression roll over your spirit today like a thick gray fog? Of all the devil’s devices, depression is probably the most insidious. It sneaks in on you and torques your perspective before you even realize it’s there. It can be a natural phenomenon...the result of worldly influences and pressure...but one that is used by the enemy.
If things don’t go the way we prefer, if today’s pressures paint such a bleak scene we fail to look at the big picture, we can allow the enemy to cause us to lose sight of God’s sovereignty over each day and sink into a spirit of depression.
As a weapon in Satan’s hands, it takes more than natural methods to overcome it...it takes supernatural release. When you feel this depression suddenly coming over you, you know that it is more than just your own thoughts and feelings...you can even feel its power trying to overcome you!
“And I tell you this-whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever you free on earth will be freed in heaven”. Realize that as God’s child you need only to recognize the source of the problem and exercise your authority over this spirit of depression...binding it in Jesus’ Name...and receive His precious release, and the joy that follows.
The fog depression can be cleared away with the sword of the Word of God...
