His Voice is never from a distance..

Lorica of Patrick

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation.

I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth and His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion and His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection and His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.

I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In obedience of angels,
In service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In preachings of the apostles,
In faiths of confessors,
In innocence of virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.

I arise today
Through the strength of heaven;
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Firmness of the rock.

I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me;
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's hosts to save me
From snares of the devil,
From temptations of vices,
From every one who desires me ill,
Afar and anear,
Alone or in a multitude.

I summon today all these powers between me and evil,
Against every cruel merciless power that opposes my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom,
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.
Christ shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that reward may come to me in abundance.

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through a confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation

This inspirational confession of faith and prayer was written by Patrick (ca. 377)
Patrick was originally a slave in Ireland, received freedom, left and was called back years later by the Lord to bring the gospel to the nation. Patrick and a small band of believers literally turned Ireland around into a Christian nation.

2009-10-06T23:45:00.001+08:00

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray this prayer in the power of the Holy Spirit

In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind, rebuke and bring to no effect, all division, discord, disunity, strife, anger, wrath, murder, criticism, condemnation, pride, envy, jealousy, gossip, slander, evil speaking, complaining, lying, false teaching, false gifts, false manifestations, lying signs and wonders, poverty, fear of lack, fear spirits, murmuring spirits, hindering spirits, retaliatory spirits, deceiving spirits, religious spirits, occult spirits, witchcraft spirits (including Jezebel, Delilah and Apollyon) and spirits of antichrist

I bind all curses that have been spoken against me. I bless those who curse me, and pray blessings on those who despiteful use me.

I bind all spoken judgment made against me and judgments I have made against others
I bind the power of negative words from others, and I bind and render useless all prayers not inspired by the Holy Spirit; whether psychic, soul force, witchcraft or counterfeit tongues that have been prayed against me.

I am God's child. I resist the devil. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. I put on the whole armor of God. I take authority over this day, in Jesus' name. Let it be prosperous for me, let me walk in your love, Lord. The Holy Spirit leads and guides me today, I discern between the righteous and the wicked.

I take authority over Satan and all his demons, and those people who are influenced by them. I declare Satan is under my feet and remain there all day. I am the righteous of God in Christ Jesus.

I am God's property. Satan you are bound from my family, my mind, my body, my home and my finances.

I confess that I am healed and whole. I flourish, I am long lived, stable, durable, incorruptible, fruitful, virtuous, full of peace, patience and love. Whatsoever I set my hand to do shall prosper, for God supplies all my needs. I have all authority over Satan, all demons, and beasts of the field. God, I pray for the ministry that you have for me. Anoint me, God, for all you have called me to do for you.

I call forth divine appointments, open doors of opportunity, God ordained encounters and ministry positions. I claim a hedge of protection around myself, spouse and children throughout this day and night.

I ask you God, in the name of Jesus to dispatch angels to surround me, my spouse and my children today, and to put them throughout my house and around our cars, souls and bodies. I ask angels to protect my house from any intrusion and to protect me and my family from any harmful demonic or other physical or mental attacks.

I ask this prayer in the name of Jesus AMEN.

The Orphan Spirit

2009-10-06T01:24:00.002+08:00

Today I found a new term which I think it is important for us to know.
The new term which i learn today is The Orphan Spirit.
I've gathered a few info to explain what this term means..
The Orphan Spirit is a very dangerous spirit which can hinder our relationship with our Father.

Let's read the excerpt below..

Defeating the Orphan Spirit through Godly Belief Systems
Living Water Christian Fellowship

Dealing With An Orphan Spirit
Robert I Holmes

I was born into the kingdom at a time when the TV evangelists were coming down, judgment was upon the church and the prophets were getting into trouble. There was a lot of talk about the fall of great men of God, and leaders were, by and large, backing away from mentoring. I knew right from the outset that to grow in the gift, I needed to find someone better, older, wiser than me. On the music side, I picked up a guitar and started hanging out with gypsies. I penned songs and took them to be critiqued by folk song writers. I joined the church music team and learned all I could. But the prophetic. was not going to be that easy. In 1993 I went to John, my pastor and we drafted a list of every prophetic person we knew of in Australia: big or small, famous or infamous. I wrote 21 letters asking for help, opportunity to learn, time for a coffee, anything. Three responded. One invited me to his conference and gave me a copy of his book. One invited me to his church and read a copy of an article I had written. But the last fellow took a little more interest. Brother McIntyre had been in the game for quite some time. We did breakfast, we did lunch and we traveled to Melbourne together. I learned much from his teaching, but more from his conduct. He even read a copy of my first book (which incidentally, never saw the light of day). He and I grew busy with our schedules, and lost touch. but it made me hunger for more. I went back to my pastor, and we drew up a list of internationally recognised prophets. Only 12 letters this time. and 3 responded. Off we went again!

"I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you" (John 14:18).

Some hallmarks of an orphan spirit

An orphan is someone who had been abandoned by their primary care giver. The kingdom of God is based upon relationship, and the central relationship is one of parent to child - father to son. "Older women. should admonish the younger women" (Titus 2:4). "Timothy, my true son in the faith" (1 Tim. 1:2). "I am your father in the gospel" (1 Cor. 4:15). We become orphaned when those who are caring for us abandon us, or when those who should care, do not. We may have an orphan spirit because of the natural parenting we received. Perhaps you were literally abandoned, or adopted out. Perhaps you had an absent father, or abusive mother. Perhaps you raised yourself because of the financial condition of your family, or the number of children in the home. On the spiritual side, neglect happens at every level in institutional christianity. Leaders demand instead of admonish, berate instead of beseech, are busy with church life instead of the life inside the people, and are not being fathered by the system themselves. There are promises of parental love, but in reality, scarce little more than a request for the tithe.

So what are the hallmarks of an orphan spirit? - Inability to have lasting relationships - Hatred of authority, general distrust for leaders - General lack of direction for your life - Inability to make key, strategic decisions - Drawing near, then backing away from intimacy - A sense that they're just going to reject you anyway - A gnawing sense of failure, never quite good enough - An inexplicable drive to succeed, win, prove yourself

"But you have received the spirit of adoption" (Rom. 8:15 c.f Gal. 4:5)

The effects of adoption

Jesus knew we would suffer with doubt about belonging to the family of God. He knew that the church would generate thousands of mentors, but not many fathers, so He promised to give us the spirit of adoption. The very Spirit of God, who teaches us how to pray, gives us the confidence to cry "abba, Father". Under the laws of Australia, America and England an adopted child has certain privileges assigned to them that even natural offspring are not afforded. For example, you cannot disown them. You cannot disinherit an adopted child. They have equal share in the Will and Testament of the parent(s). This gives the adopted child unshakeable confidence that they will always belong - so far as the law is concerned. Our spirit ceases to feel orphaned when we have confidence that we belong to a family - God's family. It enables us to connect with our brothers and sisters, and yield ourselves fully to those in authority in the church.

"Appreciate those. who have charge over you in the Lord" (1 Thess. 5:12)

The issue of inheritance

When it comes to money, there are two ways we can receive it: by work or by grace; by labour or gift; by reaping & sowing or inheritance. Any orphan can work hard to earn a salary, indeed he can even become rich. But only a son can receive an inheritance. There are things that can only be obtained by inheritance - from being part of a family.

We must be rid of the orphan mentality, and receive confidence from Christ that we are His. Our behaviour will demonstrate what we believe. If we behave like a slave, a servant, a man under bondage to the law then we are orphans still. If we must work to be pleasing to God; must achieve to gain His favour; must obey this legal requirement or another to be acceptable (or saved) then we are orphans. But if we behave like a son, then we will work from that perspective. God the Father owns the land. It is His business, and one day we will own a part of it. So we work without guilt or need to please. We labour for Him because it is our pleasure.

"No longer a slave, but a son. and an heir of God through Christ" Gal. 4:7)

A harlots' son

We can probably name most of the people in the "hall of faith". But tucked away in vs 32 of Hebrews 11 is Jephthah. Jephthah's story is drawn out in Judges chapter 11. He was the son of a harlot. His father had a fling one night with a prostitute, and he was the result. His father's wife had other children, but these loving sibling half-brothers said, "You shall not have an inheritance in our father's house, for you are the son of another woman". Enter the orphan spirit. Disinherited, rejected, wounded in the house of his father Gilead.

So Jephthah fled, and the Lord brought him soldiers, warriors, mighty men in like the "endebted, distressed and disenfranchised". He was David in another skin. Now Ammon invaded the land of his father, and the elders of Gilead came to him, begging for help. They invited him back and accepted him as leader. Now the man was faced with his own heart - it was saying "But you drove me out, you hated me." Would he rise above that orphan voice? What if they said, "You will become head over us, your inheritance shall be of us"? So Jephthah told them he would do it, if he made them his chief. He threw his lot in with them, defeated the Ammonites, defeated the Ephraimites (42,000 of them) and became judge over Israel for six years. Rise up man of God! No wonder Hebrews says he was a man who "conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises". Noble indeed!

Hati Bapa
Orang yang mengenal hati Bapa, menyerahkan hidup sepenuhnya kepada Bapa.

Maka ia akan membuat hati bapa-bapa berbalik kepada anak-anaknya dan hati anak-anak kembali kepada bapa-bapanya, supaya jangan Aku datang memukul bumi sehingga musnah. (Maleakhi 4:6)

Ayat ini penting, kita telah dipanggil untuk menjadi anak-anak kandung Allah Bapa di Surga. Supaya intim, lebih dari keintiman suami istri, Allah menaruh RohNya dalam diri kita (Roma 8:15). Kita tidak mengalami janji-janji Tuhan karena kita tidak paham hati Bapa. Kita tidak mengenal Bapa. Ketika menghadapi masalah kita tidak memanggil Allah, “Abba, Bapa”. Kita bisa memberi karena Allah terlebih dahulu mengasihi, kita bisa memberi karena Allah telah terlebih dahulu memberi, kita bisa mengampuni karena Allah telah terlebih dahulu mengampuni.

Penghalang kita mengetahui hatinya Bapa, yaitu orphan spirit atau roh yatim piatu. Roh yatim piatu tidak sama dengan orang yatim piatu secara lahiriah, contohnya Yabes. Filipus punya roh yatim piatu, tanda-tandanya dia selalu melihat apa yang tidak ia punya. Filipus menuntut lebih untuk bisa bahagia atau melayani (Yohanes 14:8-18). Mengasihani diri sendiri, hanya melihat diri sendiri, membanding-bandingkan, mengukur kebahagiaan dari materi. Diberkati repot, dikutuki repot. Kecil tidak bersyukur, besar tidak bersyukur. Untuk mempelajari hati Bapa, harus hati-hati dengan hati diri kita sendiri. Mengukur kebahagiaan dari apa yang tidak dipunyai. Roh yatim piatu selalu punya alasan untuk menyalahkan keadaan. Sekalipun aku tidak punya uang atau tampang tapi aku adalah Anak Allah, ahli waris.

Kita perlu pilih-pilih terhadap apa yang masuk ke telinga kita, yang membangun iman kita. Iman orang besar adalah iman orang yang mengenal hati Bapa, bukan melihat kuasa.

Alasan pertama Allah memberikan Roh Kudus dalam hati kita selama-lamanya, supaya kita tidak menjadi yatim piatu. Kita harus berusaha mendapat perkenanan Tuhan. Roh yatim piatau membuat kita terlalu kawatir akan kehidupan kita. Yatim piatu suka membanding-bandingkan.kalau kita tahu kasih Bapa, kita tidak akan pernah iri. Kalau kita percaya Allah mencukupkan segala sesuatu, maka kita tidak akan pernah meresa kuwatir kekurangan.

Orang yang mengenal hati Bapa, menyerahkan hidup sepenuhnya kepada Bapa. Bukan pasif, tapi aktif. Firman itu di mulut manis, tapi pahit di perut. Kalau ingin mendapat berkat, kita harus balik kepada Bapa. Mari kita sepenuhnya mengarahkan hati kepada Bapa. Mari kita kembali melayani Allah. Mari jangan melayani untuk memuaskan diri kita sendiri. Mari kita melayani sebagai pernyataan hati Bapa bukan untuk memuasakan roh yatim piatu kita. Mempertemukan dua generasi. Bagaimana yang Bapak-bapak memiliki hati Bapak yang menuntun dan membimbing anak-anaknya, dan anak-anak memiliki hati anak yang menghormati orang tua.

Wow, aku anak Bapa!Yatim piatu melihat Firman sebagai beban, kerja, usaha. Anak melihat firman sebagai hak milik yang yang dicintai.Baptisan Roh Kudus, ketika menerima kepenuhan Bapa, merasa dekat dengan Bapa. Hak istimewa anak untuk menyebut Allah sebagai Bapa. Kita adalah anak dan sudah waktunya menyatakan Bapa kepada dunia melayani pelayanan.

Remember this!

Speak To Your Mountain

2009-09-27T23:38:00.000+08:00

MARK 11:23 NKJ
23 "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, `Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will come to pass, he will have whatever he says.

"Talk to mountains? Do you think I'm crazy?"

Jesus talked to things, and taught that "whoever" could also speak to mountains.

A mountain is primarily any obstacle that stands in your way.

Faced with obstacles, most Christians pray to God. But Jesus told us to speak directly to the obstacle and tell it to be removed.

There is nothing wrong with discussing things with God. You should. But when something is blocking your progress -- Jesus said YOU should tell it to get out of the way.

Most Christians just speak to God about the mountain, instead of following Jesus' directions and speaking directly to the mountain.

Are you just talking to God about the problems in your life, instead of talking directly to the problems and telling them to be removed?

MATTHEW 17:20 NKJ
20 So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, `Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

According to Jesus, unbelief keeps us from speaking to our mountains.

What is the mountain in your life? What stands in the way of your progress? What holds you back from going forward and fulfilling God's plan?

Speak God's Word to that mountain!

Speak to the devil and his forces and tell them to get out of your affairs.

Speak to sickness and tell it that it can't stay in your body.

Speak to debt and financial lack and tell them to be removed from your life.

Speak to doubt, fear, and worry and tell them to be gone.

If you say, "I just can't believe it would do any good for me to talk to problems," that's why you still have them.

Read what Jesus said again, and again.

SAY THIS: I will speak to the mountains that try to hold me back.

thank u Lord..!

2009-09-27T21:03:00.002+08:00

God Is The Original Parent

2009-09-10T00:27:00.000+08:00

PHESIANS 3:15 AMPLIFIED
15 For Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named-- [that Father] from Whom all fatherhood takes its title and derives its name.

Barclay translates verse 15, "of whose fatherhood all heavenly and earthly fatherhood is a copy,".

A note in the Translator's N.T. says, "A play on Greek words is involved here. The meaning is that the whole human idea of family and fatherhood owes its origin to God the Father."

The Tyndale N.T. Commentary says, "He is also the One from whom alone all the fatherhood that there is derives its meaning and inspiration. From Him it derives its existence and its concept...."

What does this all mean?

God is the original Father, the original parent, and everything good that has ever been in any parent is just a copy of what was first in God.

God looks upon you as a good parent looks upon their child.

PSALM 103:13 BECK
13 As a father loves His children, so the LORD loves those who fear Him.

According to the experts, love in Psalm 103:13 means "deep love, cherishing, to behold with tenderest affection."

There has never been a parent who loved their child more than God loves you.

SAY THIS: Thank you God, for being my Father, and loving me.

SHIFTING FROM THREAT TO CHALLENGE

2009-09-10T00:11:00.002+08:00

The ability to overcome adversity is the most admired characteristic in a person.

Being positive and optimistic take a lot of strength and courage.

How do we find it within ourselves to beat the odds and overcome adversity?

How can we sustain positive attitude?

Let us never folds under pressure.Even in a crisis let us see the glass as half full!

We have Jesus okay..don't worry about anything..

bible devotion-victory takes effort

2009-09-09T01:59:00.000+08:00

Faith Is The Victory

1 JOHN 5:4 NKJ
4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.
We all love to win.

Victory is sweet. One reason it's so sweet is that it's usually not easy. Victory takes effort -- often great effort.

Effort is also required in the spiritual battle of good against evil we are all engaged in. But the effort required of us is to maintain our attitude of faith in God and His Word.

We cannot overcome the strategies of the devil by our willpower, or by our own strength. We must use the spiritual weapons God has provided for us.

As a child of God -- you are a winner! The victory is already yours through what Jesus Christ did on your behalf. Don't let the enemy steal the victory away from you.

Your enemy comes to steal your faith. Don't let it happen.

SAY THIS: I overcome and walk in victory by my faith in God.

Take note

2009-09-08T18:27:00.000+08:00

These next set of verses all tell us, without any other possible interpretation, that Jesus Christ is truly the Son of God.

"... that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:15-18)

"And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest ..." (Luke 1:31)

"And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in Him, and He in God." (1 John 4:14)
"And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life." (1 John 5:11-12)
"God, who at various times and in different ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things ..." (Hebrews 1:1-4)
"And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name." (John 20:30-31)
I do not think the above Scripture verses could be any more clear. Jesus Christ is truly the only begotten Son of God the Father. End of discussion!

The Purpose Of Life-A bible devotion

2009-09-08T01:03:00.001+08:00

God created mankind primarily because He desired to have a family. In order to truly fellowship with God, man had to have freedom of choice. Unfortunately, man used his freedom to rebel against God and fell from fellowship with God.

When man fell he came under the dominion of the devil, because he followed the devil's suggestion to disobey God. With this came spiritual death and a new nature which was selfish. Man became self-centered -- actually worshiping himself by making every decision based on what was best for him. The result of this selfishness is evident all around us: horrible misery and suffering.

God is just and obeys His own laws. Justice requires that rebellion be punished. To be just, yet allow mankind to come back into fellowship with Him, God Himself came to earth as the man Jesus Christ. He suffered a horrible death as the substitute for all mankind, taking the punishment we deserved for our sins. Because of what Jesus did, God could justly forgive all sin, and open a way for all people to come back into fellowship with God.

Jesus Christ Himself is the only way to God. Only by receiving Jesus can we enjoy the benefits of His sacrifice, which sets us free from sin and its judgment.

Our life on earth now is testing and preparation for eternity, to determine if we qualify to be in God's family. This is not determined by human beauty or achievement, but by our willingness to submit to the lordship of Jesus Christ. When we submit to Jesus, He begins changing us into what He wants us to be.

When you come to Jesus, He changes you inwardly. As you continue following Jesus and obeying His Word, your inward change will continue manifesting outwardly, causing people and circumstances around you to change also. God will continue working in and through you until you become like Jesus Christ in your thoughts and actions, as well as your nature.

SAY THIS: Thank you Lord for your great plan!

Accept God's Acceptance

2009-09-03T23:49:00.000+08:00

God accepts you, because of what Jesus did as your substitute, and because He loves you.

EPHESIANS 1:6 NKJ
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He has made us accepted in the Beloved.

All barriers between you and God were broken down by Jesus Christ. God forgave you, and offers cleansing from all the sin you ever committed.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:18-21 NLT
18 All this newness of life is from God, who brought us back to himself through what Christ did. And God has given us the task of reconciling people to him.
19 For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. This is the wonderful message he has given us to tell others.
20 We are Christ's ambassadors, and God is using us to speak to you. We urge you, as though Christ himself were here pleading with you, "Be reconciled to God!"
21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.

God's intention is to have a family -- a loving family. He wants you to be a part of it.

ROMANS 15:7 NCV
7 Christ accepted you, so you should accept each other, which will bring glory to God.

SAY THIS: I accept that God has forgiven me and accepted me into His family

Surrounded By Favor

2009-09-01T21:48:00.000+08:00

God's favor can change your life.

Someone who is favored is called a favor-ite.

(The New Testament teaches that being righteous (in right standing with God), is a gift we receive when we receive Jesus -- not something we attain by our works.)

So, the promise of Scripture is that God surrounds you with favor. What does that mean?

Favor is the blessing of God making people like you and treat you well.

Is it automatic? We have access to God's grace only through faith (Romans 5:2). So, you will never experience the fullness of God's favor without believing for it.

Faith is released through words. So every day thank the Lord for giving you favor with people, for surrounding you with favor!

Don't say, "People don't like me." or "Everybody seems to be against me." or "I never get a break."

Instead say, "Thank you Lord for giving me favor with people."

Then watch God begin to move on your behalf!

SAY THIS: Thank you Lord for surrounding me with favor.

Teach me today Lord.

2009-09-01T08:12:00.004+08:00

I am wrong Lord,teach me where to change..
I am lazy to read your words and also in other things in my life,teach me to become devoted and hardworking like the ant..
I am easily defeated Lord,remind me that I am a child of yours and whom shall I fear for you are my helper..no one can condemn me and no one can say that I can't..
Just teach me today Lord..I want to change..to be more like You..just teach me!

Do You Believe In Love?

2009-09-01T01:40:00.000+08:00

MATTHEW 5:44 NKJ
44 "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

Most people believe in force: guns and armies.

Most people believe in money: "financial power."

Many people believe in education, that "If we just educate people enough we can change the world."

Hardly anyone seems to believe in the power of love to change things. No one seems to think it would do any good to "turn the other cheek."

Jesus didn't tell us to "turn the other cheek" just so we could get beat up more. Jesus believes in the power of love. Jesus believes that evil can be overcome with good.

ROMANS 12:20-21 NKJ
20 Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head."
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

God still believes in the power of love. He believes that if you love enough, and for long enough, people will finally come to their senses and respond to that love.

JOHN 13:34-35 NIV
34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

Jesus said the mark of His believers would be their love. Where did we go wrong?

SAY THIS: Lord, help me to believe in love, and to act in love.

Quotes about Jesus.

2009-08-29T02:53:00.001+08:00

It was this same Jesus, the Christ who, among many other remarkable things, said and repeated something which, proceeding from any other being would have condemned him at once as either a bloated egotist or a dangerously unbalanced person...when He said He himself would rise again from the dead, the third day after He was crucified, He said something that only a fool would dare say, if he expected longer the devotion of any disciples—unless He was sure He was going to rise. No founder of any world religion known to men ever dared say a thing like that! --Wilbur Smith

2009-08-29T02:49:00.000+08:00

Whenever the method of worship becomes more important than the Person of worship, we have already prostituted our worship. There are entire congregations who worship praise and praise worship but who have not yet learned to praise and worship God in Jesus Christ. --Judson Cornwall

2009-08-29T02:47:00.001+08:00

Our problem is this: we usually discover him within some denominational or Christian ghetto. We meet him in a province and, having caught some little view, we paint him in smaller strokes. The Lion of Judah is reduced to something kittenish because our understanding cannot, at first, write larger definitions.--Calvin Miller

2009-08-29T02:45:00.001+08:00

Because Christianity’s influence is so pervasive throughout much of the world, it is easy to forget how radical its beliefs once were. Jesus’ resurrection forever changed Christians’ view of death. Rodney Stark, sociologist at the University of Washington, points out that when a major plague hit the ancient Roman Empire, Christians had surprisingly high survival rates. Why? Most Roman citizens would banish any plague-stricken person from their household. But because Christians had no fear of death, they nursed their sick instead of throwing them out on the streets. Therefore, many Christians survived the plague. --“2000 Years of Jesus” by Kenneth L. Woodward, NEWSWEEK, March 29, 1999, p. 55.

So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9 NRSV Bible)

On a dairy farm there were two frogs. One day they were sitting by a bucket of milk. The bucket of milk had a lot of foam on top, and there were lots of flies hovering over it.
One frog said to the other one, "Those flies up there sure look good for lunch. I am going to jump up and grab a hold of the edge of the bucket and have a feast." So that frog jumped up and misses the edge of the bucket and goes curr-plunk right into the milk. Now, it had been a long time since his tadpole days, so he couldn't swim every well. So he starts yelling for help. The other frog thinking that she was smarter than her friend also jumps up to grab a hold of the edge of the milk bucket. But, she also goes curr-plunk right into the milk bucket.

Both of the frogs are now paddling in the milk for their life. The first frog gets tired and sinks to the bottom of the milk bucket and drowns. The second frog says a pray and keeps on paddling.

She paddles all day and night. Then the next morning, as the sun began to shine, you could see that little frog sitting on a pallet of butter that she had churned all night.

We can learn an some important lessons from this story. First, we should never give up. The challenges of life serve to remind us of our need for Christ. Secondly, with God's help through Jesus Christ, we can be better people, we can better realize our goals, and we can be closer to God.

Lord Jesus, help me to never give up on you or myself. In Jesus Name, Amen.

I always have a good meaningful time with my dad.Last semester break,i had the changed to follow my dad to his workplace at Bahagian Teknologi Pendidikan,Kota Samarahan.I woke up early and breakfast together with my dad.There,i learned a lot on School Broadcasting and that experience is good. During that time,I don't really feel anything.but now I realize that,that moment was meaningful and I'm missing it now.I miss the conversation,the jokes that my dad made in the car,the song we sang together and also the time we laughed together.That moment is special.I love n miz u dad.My dad also taught me how to drive the car.He was impatient and i was impatient and get angry,but he came to me to apologized while i sulked and cry.hehe...but at least i can make the car move..hehee.

Same with mom..my mom is the most caring person who never hesitate to help me whenever i need help in my research assignments.She is proud of me and always try to make me feel confident of myself.My mom is beautiful and simple.She is not like other women that i know.I am more like my mom's mentality who stresses more on inner beauty rather than outward appearance or beauty.My mom is super cool coz she doesnt need beautiful dresses and make-ups to make her feel beautiful.Not that she dislikes them but that is just the way she is.She is beautiful in her own way.Always brave and bold.

I have someone that i love so dearly who is my aunt.My mom's sister.She is the one who nurture me since i was a baby.To me..she is like my second mom.I owe her this entire life coz she dedicated her own life for me..all her life for my benefits..God bless my aunt coz she is just like my guardian angel..She deserves all the good things in this world..I hope i can take good care of her like she did.

So..if i have to choose between my family and other things in life..I choose my family..It would be a curse if I abandon them.

dear Lord..bless my family..protect them and bring them closer to You..may they feel your love deeper and deeper..but above them it is You that i should honor..have mercy on my family Lord Jesus coz we need you..give good health to my family and teach me on how to be a good daughter and sister to my parents and siblings.In the name of the Father,the Son and the Holy Spirit I pray.Amen.

A PRAYER FOR A LOVED ONE

2009-08-23T01:53:00.001+08:00

Lord, be his shepherd,
Keep him with the flock,
Watch him and tend him,
Be his resolute rock.

Don't let him falter,
Don't let him fall,
Wait with him, Father,
Be there for his call.

Hold his hand firmly,
The path grows so steep,
Wipe his tears gently,
Should he start to weep.

Teach him to follow,
In Your humble way,
Help him to walk,
In Your shadow each day.

Strengthen his body,
Weaken his will,
Should he deny You,
Stay with him still.

Give him Your shoulder,
On which he may rest,
Embrace him warmly,
Next to Your breast.

Please place Your hand,
Upon his dear head,
And give him Your blessing,
As his spirit is fed.

Quiet his mind,
Comfort his soul,
Put peace in his heart,
Make his life whole.

Give him a vision,
Of Your tender smile,
Let him feel loved,
All of the while.

Father, forgive me for letting my difficulties ruin my attitude. I want to be a blessing to others no matter my personal circumstances. Convict me with your Spirit when I begin to focus too much on myself and my situation. Expand my heart with your grace so that I can use my inconveniences, problems, struggles, and challenges to be opportunities to share and to display your grace. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Who is there to love the unlovable?

I once heard..when you love someone..the best gift for that person is..a prayer..
That someone..no matter how angry you are with me..when I pray for you..it is because I love you..doesnt mean i am holy..i am pious(alim)..i'm no better than you..

The world said..ini sudah rosak..buang la..
The world also said..dia jahat..dan tidak berguna..tinggalkan dia..

But..who is there to love the unlovable?

Kampung Pahlawan,Langkap,Perak.

2009-08-03T15:47:00.003+08:00

Last week..by His grace..finally we made it to Kampung Pahlawan,Langkap,Perak.It is an Orang Asli village..A modern village with a touch of Love..we are destined to be there..How I wish it is not that modern and comfortable..Instead of serving them..we end up being served by them..Pastor Tan and his Orang Asli's wife were doing their best to keep us comfortable and full..the Food is marvelous and addictive..berapa kali dia belanja kita makan tu?

The village is peaceful and quite..few children are peeping and waving at us behind a tree..they smile and we smile back..they are shy but not hostile..n i heard one of the children said..in english..'hello..what is your name?'..n i said..waa..boleh tahan jugak diaorang ni..they show us the river..walk us around the village n we also take pictures together..

During the kebaktian..as long as i can remember..i never heard someone singing as loud as they do..the place roars and resonate..everybody is singing the worship songs with all their hearts..meremang bulu roma..wow..n it tells me something..They are indeed ON FIRE!

Then..it's makan time..pastor Tan brought us to one of the best restaurant in town..which i think serves the most delicious food..i have the chance to sit semeja with pastor Tan..along with ps Perry n wife..jim..henry..lili..erin..devina..flo and gideon..Pastor Tan did not only bless us by treating us dinner..but also with his authentic-sharing which i could feel..speaks directly to my heart..through his story..i learn that..God never abandon those who abandoned Him..Pastor Tan was once a pusher n also a drug addict..went in and out from the jail..He took drug as early as 13..BuT..through God's love and the power of prayer..finally at the age of 30+..he comes to know Christ and take up the cross!! His brother prayed for him for 11 eleven years..he once said to his bro..You are such a disgrace!..Yesus itu Tuhan orang putih la..but God is great..Amen..now..Pastor Tan is indeed a fruitful christian..What i like about him is that..He has a strong spirit..he said..apa yg orang cakap tak boleh..itu yg saya mau cuba..dulu aa..saya memang tak tahu baca bahasa melayu..tapi saya mau baca bible..saya blajar dan blajar sampai boleh..then suddenly he looks at me..n speaks..Ingat..Allah kita sentiasa mencukupi apa yang kita kekurangan..jangan pernah rasa kekurangan..minta lah dari Dia dan Dia akan memberikan..I have heard someone said that before..but only that night..that verse suddenly makes sense to me..from mengetahui tapi tidak mengerti..it turns into..mengetahui dan mengerti..

And the Orang asli people who specifically belongs to the Semai group..to me..is the most humble ethnic in the world..their humble n obedient nature inspired n teach me..they accept Jesus..without questioning..what a faith..Pastor tan described them as 'senang terima Yesus..' 'suka kahwin awal'..'pemalu'..'penurut'.....btw..I really see the miracle of God in that place..God loves n protect the Orang asli..
Then I pray for my people..the Iban..the Iban people of Sarawak..

Well..2 days n 1 night is not quite enough..to really serve the people there..mcm touch n go je..but i believe..something..has started..to grow..somewhere..somehow..n..i'm looking forward for another trip!

perhaps you don't understand my joy that comes from doing this kind of thing..but I always pray that someday you will feel this same joy too!Praise the Lord!

With or without the music..i still can feel You..
With close or open eyes..I still can worship You..
There are no boundaries..

2009-08-02T02:11:00.002+08:00

At night...it's so easy for me to feel my deepest emotion..call it fear..i do not know..lays so deep inside my heart that i would close my eyes n try to feel it..what is this feeling of mine?

How easy it is to shed tears in times like this..but the heart is wrestling with things that i could not name..i do not know..it is painful but it is also soothing..what is this sharp feeling?

the silence of night..doesnt leave me feeling empty..

i never let go of anything..sometimes i wish i could fix what i have broken..so tht i wont be bothered anymore...oh no..i better go to sleep..meracau dah..

In Walking with the Poor, Bryan Myers suggests several dimensions of transformation that address different aspects of human life.

A lost soul needs to be transformed into a saved soul.
A dying body needs to be transformed into a nourished body.
A sick body needs to be transformed into a healed body.
A broken mind needs to be transformed into a restored mind.
An unjust social system needs to be transformed into just social relationships.
Violence needs to be transformed into reconciled relationships.
Decaying creation needs to be transformed into a sustaining world.

Is it really love?

2009-07-21T23:40:00.001+08:00

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 defines real love. Ask yourself these questions:

Are you patient with each other?
Are you kind to each other?
Are you never envious of each other?
Do you never boast to or about each other?
Is your relationship characterized by humility?
Are you never rude to each other?
Are you not self-seeking?
Are you not easily angered with each other?
Do you keep no record of wrongs?
Are you truthful with each other?
Do you protect each other?
Do you trust each other?
If you answered “yes” to the above questions, then 1 Corinthians 13 says that you truly have a loving relationship. If you answered “no” to any of the above questions, then maybe you should discuss those issues with your boyfriend or girlfriend.

IDENTIFYING TRUE LOVE

2009-07-21T23:37:00.001+08:00

We can only identify true love and know when we have found it, based on the Word of God. When we match our relationships up to what the Bible says that love is—and we are honestly prepared to make a life-long commitment to that person—then we can say that we are truly “in love.” The three keys to that statement are:
We have to…

look at the Word of God
be completely honest with ourselves
understand the level of commitment that comes with true love

True love..

2009-07-21T23:19:00.004+08:00

You are honest, and I respect that. And that means I'm going to be honest with you, completely honest and straight up. After all, we're not talking kiddy games here.

I sense you do not understand what a dangerous path you are on. You simply don't realize how high the stakes are in your decision whether or not you go to bed with this guy.

You're well aware that sex before marriage is against God's law. You admit that. You know that it's wrong. I know it's wrong. God tells us it's wrong.

It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in a passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God.
—I Thessalonians 4:3-5

God again makes it very clear in Ephesians 5:3:

But among you there must not even be a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity… because these are improper for God's holy people.

That's what God tells you,about premarital sex. And about this guy—he doesn't really love you. If he did, would he ask you to do something against God's law when he knows you want to obey God? No. Absolutely not.

He's not thinking about you. He's thinking about his glands and what he wants. And in 1 Corinthians 13:5, in the love chapter, we are told that love "is not self-seeking."

This guy isn't concerned about what's right and wrong. The truth of God's law doesn't matter to him. And again in 1 Corinthians 13, verse 6, God says,

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

What this guy wants is sex; real love isn't a part of this picture, and that means he cannot love you the way God wants you to be loved.

Something else really disturbs me about your letter. You said if you didn't have sex with him now you might lose him. That tells me you are more concerned about this guy than finding and obeying God's will for your life. Quite honestly, you are letting this guy become your God. He is first in your life. That is dangerous territory.

God doesn't play games with us. He makes that very clear. Jesus said in Luke 6:46,

Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
And in John 14:15, Jesus said it again,
If you love me, you will obey what I command.
So what you are doing, is mocking God. You are saying that you know what God wants you to do, but you aren't willing to do it. You are putting your boyfriend above God. And you are fooling yourself if you think you can fool God.

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows,” we are told in Galatians 6:7. I can't tell you exactly what you will reap if you turn your back on God and go to bed with this guy or any other guy. That sexual sin could have any number of serious consequences: broken fellowship with God, guilt and shame, loss of dignity, AIDS or some other sexually transmitted disease, low self-esteem, unwanted pregnancy, stirred up desires which can't be fulfilled, and, yes, even fear.

I plead with you. Do the right thing. Ask God to give you power and strength and desire to obey Him. Say, like Paul said in 1 Corinthians 10:13,

No temptation has seized [me] except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let [me] be tempted beyond what I can bear. But when [I am] tempted, he will also provide a way out so that [I] can stand up under it.
Commit yourself to the truth, and I promise you God will help you. Explain it to your boyfriend. And if he keeps pushing you—if he pushes you even once—then lose him. Break it off. It's simply not worth it.

Remember, God loves you. With his help, you can do it. I know you can.

How i love to read the words in the bible..they speak and console me..when i am low and on my knees..and when i am in my greatest fear..when i dun have anyone to talk to..i force myself to open the bible..so far it has never disappoint me..sometimes..my bible soaks because of my tears..sometimes i sleep with my bible..it is inside my bag..inside the airplane..in the shopping mall and almost everywhere..it is also inside my phone..no matter how dirty and guilty i am..i am free and welcome to read every words inside it..there is no condition..no rules and no exceptions..anytime and anywhere..I can read the bible!as in Ephesian 6:17..THE BIBLE IS THE POWERFUL WEAPON!..so..do not fear to read the bible..do not be overwhelmed by the thickness of the pages..just hold it first..open it slowly..and try to read just one verse..everyday..

Draw me close to You-Michael W.smith

2009-07-19T02:21:00.000+08:00

Cause nothing else can take your place
To feel the warmth of your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to you

You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know you are near

Miz mum n dad back at home..my beloved aunt..bro n sis n little abigail..='(

Still can live without new mp3 player.

2009-07-10T01:39:00.003+08:00

As I walked on the street today..i cud not help but being tempted by my surrounding..there were so many voices..which still lingers now..i was helpless and weak..the voices sounds like...take me!buy me!try me!use me!i look good on u!eat me!you will need me! n now my soul is crawling instead of walking..Jesus Help Me!

As one of my fren said..we will never feel enough...there are so many desires and wants..the heart and emotion..are screaming to have evrything in the world..

Hence it is not wrong to say that The answer to the mystery of human weakness is their desire..People with so many desires will have no meekness of mind..forever wanting and hunting..Shame on me coz i cant stop myself from buying the new bag which i dun really need..the old bag is still in good condition..

But where does this desire ,greed and lust come from?

At first thought while i was sitting on the bus's seat..We are the devil ourself..we are the one who destroy ourself..with our own lust and desire..Lucifer likeness..

And my second thought is..we need to be saved..Jesus's Teaching saves..it offers a remedy to our fat desire and lust..Jesus said.."Now flee from youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart." (2 Timothy 2:22 NIV)...Pure heart is the keyword here..so how can we tell if we have a pure heart? A pure heart is then . . .

a. An intellect supplied with truth.

b. Emotions tempered by sobriety.

c. A will focused upon a straight course.

d. A conscience that doesn't waver for immorality.

Jesus also warns us not to love our possesions too much..in matt 6:19-24..

IT ALSO MEANS THAT WE STILL CAN LIVE WITHOUT OUR STYLISH DRESSES AND CLOTHING..THAT WE STILL CAN WALK WITHOUT A NEW BRANDED SHOES..THAT WE STILL LOOK BEAUTIFUL WITHOUT MAKE-UP AND STRAIGHT HAIR..

Living moderately and humbly..being content with basic desire..oh how i pray that i can stop those greedy desires n tht i will have a pure heart..i certainly would save a lot of money in the bank if i do that!haha..but..why do i never stop to think of myself?itz only about my wants n desire and also my needs..why does One is not enough?..emmm..i have compassion to the poor..just that..when will i give one of my shoes to them?

Hmmm..never ending guilt..therefore now..i will make a small finding on the net about how to remove lust from our heart..will show u the finding 2morow.Gdnite n God bless U!

can we survive?

2009-07-08T09:40:00.003+08:00

-Real world and Jesus's teaching-something that i want to ponder today..
Can we survive using the word of God?Why is it hard to use His teaching in the real world?Is it because it is really hard to let go of the world?To love our enemies for example..is it possible to love those who prosecuted us?They say if u dun fight back..u will be dead in the hand of ur enemies..why do u let ur enemy to prosecute u?Fight!Fight!kill him so that he wont kill u..mati nuan lbn org ila..but that is REAL WORLD.But why does Jesus teach us to love our enemy?Would we able to deny our own dignity in the hand of our enemy?Can we stand being laughed by our enemy?but what good would it be to love our enemy?what magic would that bring?I want to know and i want to feel the magic of Jesus's teaching.

To apply Jesus's teaching in the real world is the biggest challenge in my life.Often there will be a lot worldly justification that could cloud my faith.Sometimes it sounds almost convincing..Nonetheless it is not enough just to know the word of God.I feel shame of myself..calling myself as a Christian but fail to do simple act of loving and kindness.Most of the time..the intensity and pressure of the cruel world i'm living in makes me forget that I belong to Him and nothing else but only Him.

Material world..money and wealth..often not enough..till we become a slave to the material world..certainly we will suffer without money and we tend to find more money..who is strong enough to ignore the social expectation and the world judgement?..We want to be rich and people look high upon rich and wealthy people..I NEVER SAY THAT SEEKING PROSPERITY IS A SIN..but it becomes a sin if we focus too much on it rather than God.So never ask me this question 'nuan enggai kaya pia?'

BUT..how do some people manage to leave the material world and serve the Lord?Dont they have family to support?Dont they have house to built?Won't they have worldly desire?Big house,exspensive car,luxirious food,fame and power?

Perhaps i havent really feel the pressure of 'ngidup ka diri'or raising oneself because i am still under FAMA(father n mother) but they say..always say to me.."tusah ngidup ka diri"..i do not know how would i react in such pressure..but i do know..i will always rely on God for my comfort..whatever it is..i pray that i would not abandon HIM..I could not imagine myself living life without trusting God as my saviour..how terrified i would be without my faith to HIM..when all thing that i have build collapse under my eyes..i know there is always hope..perhaps we learn more when we collapse..that life is not easy..that WE CANNOT RELY ON OUR OWN STRENGTH to bloom..but ALSO TO REALIZE THAT GOD MADE ALL THINGS POSSIBLE.

Let that be enough..

2009-06-24T16:13:00.000+08:00

Let me know that You hear me
Let me know Your touch
Let me know that You love me
And let that be enough

2009-04-17T01:51:00.002+08:00

To all my brothers and sisters in Christ,

I could not explain how much I've been blessed by our Fellowship.There's been joy all around us and at the same time I could also feel how much Christ has love us..Not many could understand and feel this kind of Fellowship..We laugh together..we eat together..we share and care about each other..such a happy big family we have..all around us there is a joy..and i have faith that all of this is because of the Holy Spirit is with us..somehow we started to bear fruit..I hope this Fellowship will continue to grow no matter how far we are with each other..till I see you again..Thank u all..God has blessed us and continue to bless us..Let us give thanks and praise to the Lord!Halleluya!!!

Parables or Sermon?

2009-04-16T03:50:00.002+08:00

How does Jesus teach?Through parables or by giving sermon?Why does Jesus open up His words into interpretation?why does he speak in parables?

CURE FOR THIS DISBELIEF.

2009-04-14T09:39:00.002+08:00

If disbelief equals to cancer then we should find cure for this cancer for cancer leads to death.Undergo a therapy and the chances are 50/50.What is the cure for your disbelief?What left for you is only to belief....so Is it my sins if u wont be moved by the truth?

Ooo..maybe faith comes through seeing..you..people with lack of faith needs to see then belief..what if my job is to make you see?oo no..only Lord can do that..for nothing is impossible for the Lord..but I guess He still want me to experience the journey of giving CURE to this cancer..

The cure is only with Jesus..u need to drag your heavy feet there..I will try to help you too..just bring along your bloody heart..call His name..just call Him..don't stop..rip your heart out from your chest and give it to Him..if u turn back..the journey would be even more thorny..so don't ever look back..

When you meet Him..He will touch you and You will be clothed in white..He will heal your heart and make you belief..though you still wont believe..He is still cool..but don't ever regret if someday you suddenly realize tht you are never lived!

Happy Easter!

Click on to above website and you will learn how painful it is to be crucified on the cross..slow death..full of suffering and maximum pain!

The death.

2009-04-10T01:24:00.004+08:00

I imagine myself lying on my death bed..
The time goes so slowly..n painfully i would breath..
What would i feel..is it pain?would i die with regret?
Would i feel scared?

The pain is too much from what i can bear..
still breathing but what good would that bring..
take my life now and don't let me suffer..
the things that i have done haunted me..
wish i was better ..wish i didn't do that..
now i lie helplessly on my bed..

who can save me at this moment..at this moment of death..
why am i so scared to die?
what is it about death that i dun understand?
after we die? or when we die?..dead..death..
what will we see after our death?
can we be sure of salvation?

lord..no..dun let me feel any pain when i die..
dun let me hold my breath..waiting..suffering..
just let me die peacefully when my time has come..
most importantly..
forgive what i have done as nothing i can do to fix them back..

now lets talk about salvation..
if i want to meet Jesus..i have to go to heaven..
as simple as that..

Faith..i have faith in You..
Let me understand about death..about Your death..

Mystery is in the air..

2009-04-09T00:51:00.004+08:00

Recently, I always receive an unknown call from a private number..it is a female voice asking me so many times.."What is the meaning of the word?"..then the phone went off..I do not know what words she's referring to here..if it is THE WORD then i would gladly tell her..but there are also some possibilities that the caller might be one of my students..but looking at the time when the calling was made i am wrong because it was made during the school hour..hmm..discern..

Knowing which one is the right one..

2009-04-09T00:25:00.002+08:00

Discernment..every Christians should pray for this..we dun simply accept what have been preach to us without right discernment..as a new believer I tend to say yes to every words that has been preached to me..but i now learn that sometimes preachers might also misinterpret the words of God..without proper theological knowledge of the bible it is dangerous to interpret the words alone..with our own understanding we may end up distorting the true teaching of Jesus...

Oo ya..u might not understand what discernment means..let me quote the definition for ya..

"discernment is made by means of an intuitive light which infallibly discovers the quality of the movement"

"discernment of spirits may be obtained through studying of the Bible, dependence on God, and being sensitive to God’s leading."

Deutronomy 8:18(must read!)

2009-04-08T00:26:00.000+08:00

But remember the LORD your God is the one who makes you wealthy. He's confirming the promise which he swore to your ancestors. It's still in effect today.

2009-04-08T00:14:00.002+08:00

"Greater is Jesus in me than the devil in the world.."

Something to meditate about..

W n P

2009-04-03T10:52:00.000+08:00

“Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Matthew 26:41).

something that i want to ponder today..

2009-04-02T10:50:00.000+08:00

"If you can do anything . . . ." It takes the valley of humiliation to remove the skepticism from us. Look back at your own experience and you will find that until you learned who Jesus really was, you were a skillful skeptic about His power. When you were on the mountaintop you could believe anything, but what about when you were faced with the facts of the valley? You may be able to give a testimony regarding your sanctification, but what about the thing that is a humiliation to you right now? The last time you were on the mountain with God, you saw that all the power in heaven and on earth belonged to Jesus— will you be skeptical now, simply because you are in the valley of humiliation?

Faith must be tested..

2009-03-31T02:06:00.004+08:00

Your faith must be tested..you will never know how strong you faith is till you test it..the politicians can't help you..the preachers cant help you..ONLY GOD can help you.. we need to examine it..You have to survive the test.. don't care how bad things is..for your faith is in God only..let our faith focus on God..if you're doing God's will..ur faith will be tested........at least..that is what i learn today..

Romans 8:37

Yet in all these things that happen we shall have victory and more than victory by the help of Him Who loved us.

2009-03-28T22:04:00.002+08:00

No worry..the Holy Spirit will somehow visit you oo the unbelievers..U can laugh at me..but Jesus is not a laughing matter..my job is done..the Holy Spirit will take in charge..just be ready.. for your Saviour will come..smile=)

Jesus guide me!

secawan kopi..

2009-03-24T03:03:00.000+08:00

I NOW LEARN how important it is for us to humbly pray before we do anything..especially before we hastily touch the ground of the outside world where the anti-Christ will faithfully wait to whisper into our ears..to make us confuse and despair..They are consistently seducing us with their charming smiles and adoration..showers us with wealth and luxury..who attempt to buy our souls with expensive gifts and then slowly captures and enslave us as their possession. The anti-Christ can be in any forms..from the look of a fragile looking baby till the look of innocent handsome young man.
The act of praying in Jesus name will welcome the Holy Spirit towards us..because the Holy Spirit and Jesus are one..my point here is..don't live your day without humbly devoted yourself to the Lord..you know you are not strong enough..Why waste the power of His Kingdom that is freely being offered to us..used it...and you will be surprised how powerful it is..no regrets.......but..sometimes we always forget that we have Him..so sad.
But why do..we act like Jesus does not exist?Shouldn't the story of Him make you believe?or is it bcoz we never allow ourself to experience Him?

Must sing today..=)

2009-03-20T13:23:00.002+08:00

My soul..my soul..must sing today..
Beautiful..You are the beautiful one that I adore..

Jesus, the Man Who Loved Women

He Treasures, Esteems, and Delights in You

By Bruce Marchiano

Last month i went to MPH bookstore and destined to read this book which i think is so magnificent.The book written by Bruce Marchiano describes and also discusses relationship that Jesus had with the women in the bible.I really like how Bruce Marchiano writes about Jesus.Suddenly all those stories become alive,real and meaningful to me.So I sat there..in MPH absorbing all the stories..and as i read the book..I cannot help but tearing..and I said to myself..how wonderful Jesus is..He is the perfect lover that every woman hopes for in their life..He even reached out to prostitutes and made them feel worthy..

Hence..get a copy of this book..it will change your view about Jesus instantly..for those who cannot afford it..like me..take time to go to MPH bookstore for free reading..=)

What are the idols in my life?

2009-03-18T11:24:00.002+08:00

1.My Handphone..
2.My Bf
3.My idleness
4.Facebook
5.Songs
6.My study

Please Lord..I do not want to be the slave of these idols that hinder my relationship with You.Teach me how to rid myself from these idols that i myself created..How could I spend more time with these things and not with You?Forgive me Lord..that I always forget to serve You.

There must be more..

2009-03-18T00:20:00.002+08:00

Hope to know You better..
Cause it is never enough..
To live this kind of life..
I'm so tired of being ordinary..

When I put You aside..
I become lame..
Looking so dull and dead..
But when I take Your hands..
I could feel You..giving me colors..

There must be something more about You..
That I have to dig..
Just like a hidden treasure..
That You promise to reveal to its seekers..

I need You..
I really need You!!!
Yes!Just come and be here!!

The Bible

2009-03-17T10:03:00.002+08:00

The bible is our weapon in the world today..We are very lucky because we are still able to read our bible in freedom..perhaps there will be time tht we can lost this freedom..Therefore..we shall not waste anymore time doing something else..which is meaningless..The bible is the word of God..when we stop reading the bible..we stop listening to God..

The shield

2009-03-10T01:06:00.005+08:00

Tomorrow will be a battle..
Battle of the unknown..
I am not prepare to be there..
Though I have my spears..

When I close my eyes..
I only think of You as my shield..
So whispers to me Lord..
Say that I will be alright..

I dream of winning..
There's no need to be afraid..
In the battle of tomorrow..
The shield is You!

Eureka!

To readers...i stumbled on tiz while surfing..smthg that i thought is very interesting to share..for general knowledge..it is from the National Express Malaysia blog...to have more info on tiz you can ask personally the link frm me..hehe

[Genesis 1:1 - English Bible - King James Version]"

In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth . . . "

[Genesis 1:1 - Arabic transliteration]

"Fee al-badi' khalaqa Allahu as-Samaawaat wa al-Ard . . . "

[John 3:16 - English Bible - King James Version]"For God so loved the world, that . . . "

[John 3:16 - Arabic transliteration]

"Li-annhu haakadha ahabba Allahu al-'Aalama hataa badhala . . . "

[Luke 1:30 - English Bible - King James Version]

". . . Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God."

[Luke 1:30 - Arabic transliteration]

" . . . Laa takhaafee, yaa Maryam, li-annaki qad wajadti ni'amat(an) i'nda Allahi."

[Luke 3:38 - English Bible - New King James Version]

"the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God."

[Luke 3:38 - Arabic transliteration]

"bini Anoosha, bini Sheeti, bini Aaadama, abni Allahi."

The word Allah is already in the Bible. It is exactly the same word that the Jews, in Hebrew, use for God (eloh), the word that Jesus Christ used in Aramaic when he prayed to God. In Hebrew, Huwa el Elah or HUWA 'L LAH means HE IS ALLAH in the verse QUL HUWAL LAH HU AHAD.

Whom do you smiling at?

2009-02-27T01:42:00.003+08:00

Your smile is perfect..
But it looks so empty..
Whom do you smiling at?
Pretty clothes..Nice smell..
Don't u find itz meaningless?

You can smile so well infront of the camera..
But you cannot hide the pain inside..
Leave you like an open book instead..
You're falling apart..i can see it..
And you are barely holding on..

2009-02-26T00:14:00.002+08:00

Father..
Thank You for Your Mercy and Grace today!!!!
Love You always..=)

Good morning!!

They tell you where you need to go....They tell you when you'll need to leave....They tell you what you need to know....Tell you who you need to be....But everything inside you knows...There's more than what you've heard....Theres so much more than empty conversationsFilled with empty words

And you're on fire
When He's near you
You're on fire
When He speaks
You're on fire
Burning at these mysteries
Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see..
YeahGive me everything
You areGive me one more chance to be... (near You)
Ah-yeah
When everything inside me looks like
Everything I hate
You are the hope
I have for change
You are the only chance
I'll take
When I'm on fire (fire)
When You're near me
I'm on fire (fire)
When You speak
And I'm on fire (fire)
Burning at these mysteries these mysteries...
Mysteries... Mysteries...(Your on fire, [x3])
I'm standing on the edge of me [x4]
I'm standing on the edge of everything
I've never been beforeand I've been standing on the edge of me
I'm standing on the edge
.And I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak..Yea.. I
'm on fireBurning at these mysteries..
.these mysteries(2x),yeah you're a mystery, you're a mystery
