How do we agree with life and long life?

There are 2 contrasting remarks from 2 elderlies in the Bible
An 85 years old Caleb said in Joshua 14:11
"As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me (when he was 40 years old); just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in."
And let's read some conversation between Barzillai & King David in 2 Samuel 19:33-35
"The king said to Barzillai, “Cross over with me, and I will provide for you at my side in Jerusalem.” But Barzillai replied, “How many years of my life remain, that I should go up to Jerusalem with the king? I am now eighty years old. Can I discern what is good and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or drinks? Can I still hear the voice of singing men and women? Why should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?"
Proverbs 18:21
New King James Version
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit.
Our gracious & sovereign Lord has given us the authority in our tongue about our life & death. How do we use His given authority?
Which confession of faith pleases the Lord, the 85 years old Caleb's or supposedly younger 80 years old Barzillai? Caleb battled and conquered the mountain full of giants, he's got his inheritance as he believed the Lord. On the other hand Barzillai disqualified himself from great blessings the King offered him.
What do we learn about humility, agreeing with the God's WILL or agreeing with our physical feel, experience, emotion, thought, majority say that might not be congruent with God's will?
Let's see the Lord's will from His words :
Psalm 91:16
With long life (not short life) I will satisfy him (satisfying life - not suffering life), And show him My salvation.
I went to dictionary to check the word "salvation" in Hebrew & found out some Hebrew letters. I then check the pronunciation in this link, you'll be blessed when you hear this : https://forvo.com/word/%D7%99%D7%A9%D7%95%D7%A2%D7%94/
Let's learn to agree with God's will & see His salvation

Blog 29 May 2024 Divine Healing for Knee's Cartilage Today my wife and I went to a prominent ukulele shop near Lavender MRT, just a casual browsing since we just came out from ICA. I saw the friendly shop attendance was limping, so I asked him why. He said he had an eroded cartilage on his left knee due to playing too much tennis.  I asked him to sit down for a quick free divine healing.  He said his knee is not in pain, it's just stiff as the cartilage eroded. I said "Ok, let's make your knee better. Take a seat."  Initially he was hesitating, he didn't want to trouble me as the guest there, I said it would take me just a minute, then he sat down.  While I was laying my hand on his knee he asked me if this is some kind of faith healing in which I said, "Yeah...maybe people know it that way. What I know is simply God loves you & He wants you well". He asked me if I'm a Christian in which I said yes (it doesn't mean the recipient needs to ...

23 May 2024 - Divine Healing, God's Unconditional Love, Trinity, The Gift of Righteousness, Law vs Grace Sometimes we learn to function as a bridge to bring people to God, sometimes to bring God to people. I was in an online cab on the way to my private student, the driver wore a mask & frequently coughed. I frankly felt that I just wanted to relax instead of being engaged in some conversation, but I was practicing that "I have feeling but I don't need to be controlled by my feeling". So I opened up a convo, "Do you have a lot of phlegm in your throat?" in which he said, "Yes, I caught the cough from my wife." I shared with him that I do divine healing (I'm practicing the Christ's given authority as in Mark 16:17-18) that made him responded, "What is that?". I then said, "Let me just put my hand on your shoulder for a moment & your throat will be better" & I did so. Soon after that his coughing noticeably les...

SEE GOD'S HEART WHO WANTS TO BLESS YOU

SEE GOD'S HEART WHO WANTS TO BLESS YOU A lot of Christians think that God secures His blessings to His children is only about spiritual blessings but not physical blessings (health, financial, families, social, etc).  We feel secure about our eternal salvation as God's gift, but we believe that God's given us "survival mode/instinct" so we can get good life on earth. Well, it's true that He blesses us spiritually, but out of that spiritual realms we can withdraw the blessings into the physical realm when we walk with Him even in this earth - let's see from His words rather than from man's teachings/religions/worldly wisdoms. Regardless what trial we are facing /we've faced, God wants us to be healthy. We need to know that not all we experience in our life is all His will, we still need to deal with deceptions of the flesh & the devil, the enemies have build strongholds (what we believe) through what we've learned carnally & what we'...
