Aren't you tired of standing up every day wishing your life was different?

Are you tired of trying to do everything by yourself and just not getting anywhere?

You can't do the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome.

Albert Einstein said, Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

It is time to change your life for the better.

It is time to take a hard look in the mirror and to take away all the excuses,

all the lies and all the pretense.

It is time to bring out the truth that will set you free.

You can't do this on your own.

You don't know the future and you can't control everything.

But do you know who can?

God Almighty.

Isaiah 46 verse 9 says,

I am God, and there is none like Me,

declaring the end from the beginning,

and from ancient times things not yet done,

saying, My counsel shall stand and I will accomplish all my purpose.

He knows you.

He knows you inside out.

He knows your heart.

He knows your battles.

He knows your future.

He knows your purpose.

He knows everything.

Why?

Because He created you.

Psalm 139 verse 13 says,

For you formed my inward parts,

you knitted me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you, for I'm fearfully and wonderfully made." God doesn't make mistakes.

You are unique.

There is no one else in the world like you.

There has never been anyone and there never will be anyone like you.

You have a unique mind, body and soul.

And your true identity can only be found in Him.

Genesis 1 verse 27 says,

"...So God created man in His own image,

in the image of God He created him,

male and female He created them." Now even though we are made in God's image,

we are still lost.

All of us, you are lost,

because we are spiritually dead.

And that is why you are searching for peace,

for happiness in all the wrong places.

To fill that emptiness in your innermost being.

You might try drinking, relationships,

food, traveling, money, music, and even drugs.

But the next day you are still the same and He did not change anything on the inside.

Do you know why?

Because nothing in this temporary world can ever give you everlasting peace that surpasses all understanding even in difficult situations.

Only God can.

And that is why Jesus said in John 4 verse 13,

Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,

but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again.

The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water,

walling up to eternal life." Do you understand what He's trying to tell you here?

Are you tired?

Are you exhausted from just trying to do everything on your own and nothing works out?

You can't find peace.

You can't be happy no matter what you do.

Then turn away from your life that just brings you darkness and turn to the light.

Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior,

and He will give you new spiritual life.

Everlasting peace comes with it.

It is only God that can change your life completely forever.

Jesus said in Matthew 11 verse 28,

"'Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden,

and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,

for I am gentle and lowly in heart,

and you will find rest for your souls." If you do this,

if you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior,

you need to move away from sin.

You need to repent, move away from your old sinful lifestyle,

so that Jesus Christ can wash you clean and give you the Holy Spirit.

Then we'll become a new creation.

1 John 1 verse 9 says,

"...if we confess our sins,

He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." The moment you do it,

the moment you accept Jesus Christ,

your spiritual eyes will be opened up.

You will receive the Holy Spirit and you will become a child of God.

John 1 verse 12 says,

But to all who did receive Him,

who believed in His name,

He gave the right to become children of God,

who were born, not of blood,

nor of the will of the flesh,

nor of the will of man,

but of God." And Galatians 4 verse 6 says,

"'And because you are sons,

God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts,

crying, Abba, Father.'" When this happens,

your real life is only just beginning.

You start on a whole new journey with God in a real relationship,

because now your spiritual eyes are opened and you see truth,

you see the reality for what it really is.

And God leads you through the Spirit to accomplish His purpose for you.

Ephesians 2 verse 10 says,

100

For we are His workmanship,

101

created in Christ Jesus for good works,

102

which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." Now right after you became a reborn Christian,

103

you are still a new spiritual baby.

104

So you need to learn, you need to grow.

105

How do you do that?

106

Well, you spend time with God,

107

you read His Word, the truth,

108

Logos and the Rima Word,

109

the Holy Spirit will talk to you as well.

110

When you pray with God on a daily basis and you spend time with other brothers and sisters in Christ,

111

you grow in God.

112

1 Peter 2 verse 2 says,

113

"...like newborn infants long for the pure spiritual milk,

114

that by it you may grow up into salvation,

115

if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good." Now this is where you replace all the bad stuff,

116

all the junk, all the lies in your head with the truth of God, spiritual truth.

117

This is only where your journey starts and God will lead you every single day of your life,

118

because now you're not alone anymore.

119

He is with you.

120

Even if a situation looks bad to you,

121

you're not alone and you can trust God.

122

Romans 8 verse 28 says,

123

"...and we know that for those who love God,

124

all things work together for good,

125

for those who are called according to His purpose."

126

God does not say that you will have a perfect life here on earth after you become His child.

127

No, that comes later when you go to the new heaven,

128

to the new earth, when you die,

129

eternal life, then you will have a perfect life.

130

But not now.

131

Now you are still in this world, this dark sinful world.

132

But He does promise us that He will be with us and that all things will work together for good.

133

It doesn't mean everything that you experience by itself will be good.

134

It means all things together will be good.

135

That means that you can trust God with all the ups and downs with your life because it's going to happen.

136

You will always experience ups and downs in this life,

137

but now God will take it all together and make it good for you.

138

For example, all the ingredients of a cake is not good on its own,

139

but now put them all together at the right time and you get a delicious cake.

140

You see, life is like a huge puzzle,

141

But you can only start to see the puzzle pieces when your spiritual eyes are opened.

142

Then when you see the truth,

143

you start to piece it all together.

144

And you do it one by one as you continue with sanctification,

145

as you continue on your spiritual journey,

146

your spiritual growth with God.

147

C.S.

148

Lewis said, I believe in God like I believe in the sun,

149

not because I can see it,

150

but because of it all things are seen.

151

When you come to Christ,

152

you move from the darkness to the light,

153

and you can only experience true love,

154

life and peace in the light,

155

because there is no darkness in the light.

156

And that peace that you get from God,

157

that peace surpasses all understanding.

158

Philippians 4 verse 4 says,

159

Rejoice in the Lord always.

160

And verse 6 says, Do not be anxious about anything,

161

but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving,

162

let your requests be made known to God.

163

And the peace of God,

164

which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

165

Now this peace is a different kind of peace.

166

The world cannot give you this peace.

167

That's why Jesus said in John 14,

168

verse 27, "'Peace I leave with you,

169

my peace I give to you,

170

not as the world gives do I give to you.

171

Let not your hearts be troubled,

172

neither let them be afraid." And you can always have peace because you can trust God who never changes.

173

He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

174

He is fixed even though everything around us in this temporary world is always changing.

175

But you can trust God even in the storms of life.

176

You will be like a tree that is rooted in the source of life itself.

177

The winds of life can blow,

178

the storms can come and the sun can scorch.

179

but you will be safe because you are rooted in God like a tree.

180

Jeremiah 17 verse 7 says,

181

"'Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,

182

whose trust is the Lord.

183

He is like a tree planted by water that sends out its roots by the stream,

184

and does not fear when heat comes.

185

For its leaves remain green,

186

and is not anxious in the year of drought,

187

for it does not cease to bear fruit." You know,

188

life becomes a feast for those who abide in Christ,

189

for those who are spiritually mature,

190

For those who trust in God,

191

because they don't have self-confidence, they have God-confidence.

192

They trust in Him, because they know they don't have any power of themselves,

193

they can't do anything by themselves.

194

But they can do everything with God that gives them strength.

195

Nothing, nothing can separate them from the love of Christ.

196

They don't even fear death,

197

because they know when they die,

198

they will be with Christ.

199

And that is why Paul said in Philippians 1 verse 21,

200

"...for to me to live is Christ,

201

and to die is gain." You know,

202

when you have a true relationship with God Almighty as your Father,

203

you don't need to fear anything.

204

And you won't if you live through the Spirit.

205

Because 2 Timothy 1 verse 7 says,

206

For God gave us a spirit,

207

not of fear, but of power and love and self-control." You see,

208

the secret to life of finding peace,

209

happiness, it's all found in God,

210

because you can only find your true identity,

211

your purpose, everything, all the answers, is in God.

212

But you need to put Him first in your life.

213

Only then can your life truly change completely.

214

Jesus says in Matthew 6 verse 31,

215

Therefore do not be anxious,

216

saying, What shall we eat?

217

Or what shall we drink?

218

Or what shall we wear?

219

For the Gentiles seek after all these things,

220

and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

221

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,

222

And all these things will be added to you.

223

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good.

224

Don't be so focused on this temporary world,

225

this sinful world that's just passing by.

226

It is not our home.

227

We're just passing through and it will be gone in an instant.

228

1 John 2 verse 17 says,

229

And the world is passing away along with its desires,

230

but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

231

Have you ever asked yourself this question?

232

Where will you go when you die?

233

Heaven or Hell?

234

My hope is that you choose God,

235

because not only will you receive peace in this dark world,

236

that peace that surpasses all understanding,

237

not only will you receive that,

238

but you will also receive eternal life.

239

You will spend time with God and your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ as a family,

240

in the new heaven, in the new earth,

241

where there will be no more sadness.

242

but the choice is yours.

243

So make your decision and whatever you choose,

244

always remember this, God loves you and I love you too.

245

Bye.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
