How Safe Are You in God’s Hands?
“I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.” (John 10:28-29 WEB)
Just picture yourself safely nestled between Abba God and Jesus’ hands, like a baby enclosed inside his mother’s womb.
It is a strong refuge and fortress of protection—and you’re a prisoner of righteousness!
What makes you think that if you’re in such a safe place, that you’re guaranteed eternal life but everything else is on shaky ground?
Your good God has got that situation you’re worrying about under control and you’ll never fall out of His hand.
Faith is still needed to tap onto this powerful protection promise. You have to give consent for it to become real in your life.
Peter saw Jesus perform two miraculous catches of fish. The first time, Peter’s net broke, but the second time, it didn’t break. What’s the difference between the two incidents?
The first time, Jesus told him to let down his “nets” for a catch, but Peter only skeptically let down one “net”.
The second time, the disciples did as they were told. They cast their net on the right side of the boat, and so the net didn’t break.
When Jesus leads you through the Holy Spirit, obey exactly as He instructs, and your net will never break.
He never instructs you to do something that will cause your net to break.
God provides generously and He also supplies the capacity to contain that provision.
Your life is safely enclosed between God’s hands by your spiritual rebirth, and your blessings are enclosed in unbreakable nets through faith.
Then when they are taken out of the nets, the blood of Jesus and God’s angels guard you and all your possessions. You’re so lavishly protected.
See yourself as so safe, so secure because you’re loved by God. He handles you meticulously like the most precious pearl or jewel in His hand.
That problem in your path isn’t going to destroy you. Relax, God’s got it under control, and He’s working things out for your good!

Are you concerned about growing old, sick, weak and ugly?
I’m currently doing a teaching series called “Younger and Younger” for the patrons, and they are excited about the youth renewal coming their way. It is the work of the Holy Spirit.
One of our patrons, Alwin, shared his youth renewal testimony: “After embarking on the Younger and Younger devotional for the day, yesterday I managed to run about 3.2km which normally I can't. I realise that that's the kind of distance I ran during my days of youth and I am seeing that God is multiplying my days to be more youthful, healthier and strong. Praise Jesus! Thank you, brother Milton for obeying Jesus and taking us on this journey.”
I also produced a new resource called “Eternal Youth Audio Declarations” which is a 10 min recording filled with youth renewal teachings and declarations to help the patrons hear their way to youth renewal—all the patrons who actively participate are going to return to the days of their youth!

spiritual rebirth in the bible 在 Milton Goh Blog and Sermon Notes Facebook 的最佳解答
Up to 1.2 billion sperms are released in a single healthy adult male ejaculation, and yet only 1 sperm is needed to fertilize a female egg.
I noticed an interesting phenomenon whenever God’s word is preached in a church service.
The same message goes forth but different people get different revelations from it, are impacted by different specific parts of the sermon and many say that the sermon feels tailor-made for them.
It’s like there’s a specific seed (in Greek: sperma) for each individual heart.
We can learn from God’s design of our biology. Let’s look at the parallel between sexual intercourse and the preaching of God’s word.
Can we reclaim the purity of sex and not be ashamed to talk about it for godly purposes?
After all, God created sex for mankind to enjoy.
It is sin and the devil that perverted it, making it seem like something dirty or shameful.
Sex leads to ejaculation which causes a sperm to fertilize an egg, resulting in the conception of an embryo (new life).
Preaching leads to God’s word being sent forth which causes it to be implanted in a person’s heart through faith, resulting in spiritual rebirth—the person passes from death into life, becoming a child of God—a new creation in Christ.
“...receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.” (James 1:21 WEB)
In other words, the parallel to sex is preaching. Sex results in physical pleasure whereas preaching causes spiritual pleasure.
It is enjoyable to hear God’s word. It is something to look forward to.
Just like the body has physical urges, our born-again spirit has urges to hear the preaching of God’s word.
Besides the enjoyment, hearing and believing the preached word of God results in life.
Every time you do this, you’re receiving a fresh infusion of abundant resurrection life in your entire being.
“My son, attend to my words. Turn your ear to my sayings. Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep them in the center of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and health to their whole body.” (Proverbs 4:20-22 WEB)
Healing springs forth, health overflows, you get physically younger and stronger, your mind is filled with wisdom and God’s blessings pours into every area of your life.
This year, let the light of God’s word flood your eyes, ears and heart. You’ll experience more life and health in your entire being!
