The Miracle Key!

The Miracle Key that Removes My Troubles...

This morning, at around 11am plus, I was rushing for time and was late for an appointment. I usually have a habit of locking the door of my room when I go out. So as usual, as I prepared to head out, I slammed the door shut behind me. But a minute later, I realised that my room keys were still in my drawer!

But it was too late for me to do anything, and as I was rushing for time, my mum helped to open the main door for me to leave the house speedily.

Along the way, when I was on the train, I was praying hard and asked God for help. My mum doesn’t have the keys to my room, and all the spare keys are in my room, so I kept praying that somehow, there would be a way for me to open the door of my room.

Then, when I searched my bag for my phone, I suddenly felt my keys inside! At that moment I thought, “God answered my prayer!” It was great that I had somehow put my keys inside my bag when I was preparing to head out.

Woohoo! I am selected to be a YOG Sports Presenter!

---------------------------------------------------------

I was notified via email that I have been selected to be a host presenter for YOG!

Thank God for giving me this chance to learn from the experienced folks what being a presenter is all about. =) Training starts in May.

If you have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, do refer to my post on 20 March.

Life long learning is what I firmly believe in. Even if I am 70 years old, as long as I can walk and am healthy, I want to keep learning and growing!

Play to win!

2009-03-20T12:32:00.005+08:00

Play to win!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Today I reflected and realized I may have a wrong mindset on winning all along.

Recently (to be exact, 2 days ago), I went for a training program to be a sports presenter. The first job assigned is to give a 1 minute presentation on my favorite sport or my favorite athlete. I’m to use a microphone and stand in front of a rolling camera.

Being the oldest in the room (besides Mark Richmond) and with my experience as a church vocalist, I have no problem standing in front of a camera and doing my job. I was also able to interact with youths and be a blessing to them. However, this morning, I realized that I have a faulty mindset. During the training, when we were supposed to “sell” ourselves as blatantly as possible in front of the camera, I adopted a “It’s ok, I’ll just take it easy. Whatever role they cast me in would be fine. I don’t have to play to win.”

While there is no wrong in taking it easy and leaving the results to God, I realized I should have played to win. Yes, I should have aimed to do my very best and be selected for the most demanding role.

Perhaps some background would be good at this point in time. Based on our 1 minute presentation, we would be cast into the following categories:

Announcer – As the word suggests, an announcer announces the arrival or background of a player or team.
Commentator – A person who commentates on the game, usually with some interesting background information of the previous game. Requires an in depth knowledge of the game.
Presenter – A person who presents and hosts TV shows.

So needless to say, being a presenter is like the highest honor. While I am really cool about being an announcer or commentator (if they choose me), I think being a presenter and training for it would give the most exposure.

Nevertheless, God holds my tomorrow. So I will bloom where I am planted.

However, for future auditions, I am definitely going to aim high!

I will play to win.

What's in a name

2009-03-20T12:11:00.006+08:00

What's in a name?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
What's in a name? To some, it represents their destiny and to others it means nothing. As most know, I have a boyish sounding Mandarin name. I don't mind the meaning of it, but was rather put off by the way the name came about - through a fortune teller! It was wonderful when God gave me a new Mandarin name at one of the Encounters which I attended. Now my Mandarin name has more spunk and direction to it!

But Mandarin name aside, I have an English name that's representative of me. Kelly in the Gaelic language means "brave warrior (or warrioress, in my case)". This morning, as I was traveling to work, I received a new name after my not-so-interesting-talk with Mr S. A. Tan (read previous post).

I am proud to present to you Kelly Ruth Esther Low. My oh my, you may say, "What loooong name you've got!" Yup, that's my new unofficial name. From a biblical point of view, a name determines the fate of the person, or at times, even a nation!

Ruth is a woman of the Bible whom I admire a great deal. Imagine a day when you lose everything u have and yet choose to walk into an uncertain future with an old lady in tow (and the old lady happens to be your mother-in-law). Wow. Even the people in Naomi's homeland were appreciative and applauded Ruth's love for her mother-in-law (MIL).

Now, what really hits the nail in the eye is that Ruth subjected herself to do what her MIL asked her to do in chapter 3. She didn't say to her MIL, "O mother, but that Boaz is an old man!" Ok, so Boaz is older, maybe not exactly a wizened old man, but still, from Boaz's reply to Ruth in chapter 3 verse 10, it did imply that Ruth could have gotten someone younger.

So, in a nut shell, Ruth is a woman of love and faithfulness and I want to be like her.

Now, how about Esther? Esther was obedient to her uncle, Mordecai, and did as he instructed her. But I really like Esther for her humanness. Like all normal homo sapiens facing great calamity, Esther exhibited some form of fear in chapter 4. But she chose to do the right thing and decided that her life is in God's hands when she cried "If I perish, I perish!"

What words of courage! I really like it and so I constantly remind myself that like Esther, my life and fate belongs to God too. If Kelly perish, she perish!

Also, Esther allowed the king's eunuch to help her in chapter 2 verse 15. She's one smart lass and I'm definitely going to learn this trait of hers! The rest of the girls in the harem chose what they thought was best for them, but Esther took what the eunuch chose for her. It's really the best thing to do because the eunuch knows the king much much better.

Ok, now that you have read about Ruth and Esther, don't you think they are good names for a girl like me? Kelly the warrioress coupled with Ruth the faithful-loyal and Esther the woman-who-leaves-her-life-in-God's-hands definite makes me shine.

Henceforth, I shall be known as Kelly Ruth Esther Low!

Sinner saved by grace

2009-03-20T12:02:00.007+08:00

Sinner saved by grace
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is going to be a short one.

This morning, as I was taking the bus to the MRT station, Mr S.A. Tan decided to plop himself down next to my ears and started talking to me in a not-so-soft "whisper" that:

You are a sinner!
How can God love you?
You always sin against Him. He can’t accept you.
You think you can stand before Him when you sin against Him every time?

To which I replied with the following:

Yes, I'm a sinner. I'm a sinner saved by grace.

And I prayed to our Living God the following:
Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit. The Almighty God. The Living God who created the whole universe. I know I'm a sinner. Every punishment that I should receive is my just deserves. I've sinned and I deserve all punishment. But God, please forgive me. I may be a sinner but I believe in You. Cleanse me, cleanse my heart. I'm your servant. I may not be your most obedient servant, but please change me so that I will serve you all the days of my life.

And then to Satan, the accuser, I say:

Not by my own merits [that I stand before God], but by the blood of Jesus.

Thus ends the short 5 minutes conversation with satan.

G12 Reflection

2009-03-20T11:37:00.006+08:00

G12 Conference Reflection
------------------------------------------------------
The recent G12 conference has passed. What did you glean?

For me, I caught one thing – the power of the blood of Jesus. It was in the afternoon of the second day when God impressed upon my heart about the power of His blood. Since God spoke, I acted. I looked through the list of books and saw a book by the name of “The blood of Jesus”. And I bought the book on Day 3.

Till now, the message still rings clear. We are to apportion the blood of Jesus and remember to stand behind Jesus at all times. It is foolishness to be gung-ho and stand in front of Jesus as if you can handle it all by yourself.

I remember that it’s not by my own effort or by my own merit that I be victorious. It is truly by Jesus’ blood that enables me to lift my head high when satan comes to accuse me or reminds me of my failings.

Through the interactive role-play by Pastor Cesar and volunteers from the audience, I was able to capture the message in vivid details. Some are kinesthetic learners, while others are audio or visual learners. I happen to be a visual-kinesthetic. So this form of presentation sears itself in my mind.

Bringing the message closer to home and back to my life application, I have started to apportion the blood of Jesus in my life. Because of the conference, I was also able to receive healing for past disappointments and start to dream again. It’s been a long time since I last believed in the dream which God gave me when I first became a Christian. I lost sight of what I was to be because I was looking at all the failures in my life. But all those do not matter anymore. I now remember the vision which God gave me and will aspire to journey with Jesus to fulfill it.

In the area of work, I no longer focus on the things that I have failed to do. Instead, I aspire to complete the things that I have to. It brings me great relief to leave the past to God and move on with the things He has placed before me. I am truly glad for the G12 conference.

Something else which I caught was through the sermon delivered by Sarah Castellanos during the Volunteer Service at 8.30am on Sunday. It was impacting and life changing. At the end of the session, I only had one thing on my mind – I want my Father! Sarah also said to us, “You cannot sin anymore.” Yes, that word is seared in my mind too. My application is to spend 1 hour a day with God, reading His word and praying. I was successful for two days before lapsing into negligence for the next 3 days. Today is the sixth day and I am going to start the “1 hour a day with Jesus” again. Keep me accountable!

G12 conference after thoughts

2009-03-16T15:49:00.006+08:00

Hi FAMILY!!! I'm finally able to login and yeah, can post now!

Wow, looking back... I've managed to attend all the G12 conf sessions thus far! Each year I'm excited to go G12 conf...one day I'll go to Bogota! In 2003, my boss wanted me to fly off to US and I went to him in prayer to request that the trip be postponed till G12 ended. This year I thank God again that I can still attend before I deliver =)

What is it so attractive about G12 conf that I so long to be there? I myself don't have the best answer except that I so much want to drink deep from the anointed man/woman of GOD...of course most importantly listening to God Himself speaking.

Ps Nina left me a deep impression this year, I simply want to applaud her for her simple obedience in letting God work in her life. Though she knows her inadequacy, but she's simply a great example to me in stepping up in faith. I myself still need to polish and be polished in many many areas!

Ps Ceasar is the dear great-great-grandfather, humbled as always, loving as always, faithful instructions is always on his lips. It's like Jesus is in your home...well would you want to be Martha doing the housework of do you want to be like Mary enjoying his presence? haha... I'll do the housework first so I can free myself to listen to God and then back to do remaining housework later! =P

I thank God that after a year of Sabbath, it's our vision... and it should always be our vision to 'LOVE OUR NEIGHBOUR'. Before I can do that, I need that renewed heart, renewed passion and renewed motivation. After so many years, it is simply not easy to go out to love and love, give and give. It's a joy when you see lives change for the better, its most heartbreaking when you see lives stagnant or turns for the worst. Thank you Lord and use me as your vessel once more .
If I change, everything else will change! =)

Rev12:11
They overcame him (devil) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

Jesus Loves Chrislyn

JESUS LOVES CHRISLYN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1st March was a fateful day.

It started off with my absence for Expo service cos I could not wake up on time. I was hungover due to several late nights and especially from the non-stop physical training I received during my school's dance camp over the weekend. I was like a walking corpse the entire morning until I found out that I lost my purse and was jolted out of that state. I think I was under a lot of stress from everything (school work, emotional stuff) and was experiencing some degree of fatigue that I broke down and became quite hysterical. Also, I am talking about some 200plus bucks in that purse, funds I claimed from my dance treasurer the day before, and all the cards that would, besides the hassle, cost me quite a bit to replace. (AND I just dropped a wallet last month and it wasn't returned)

I started asking God if it were some sort of punishment for something I had done which was wrong. But, I know God is a loving father. He wouldn't do that. Then I wondered if it were yet again another lesson that He wanted me to learn something from. Well, there's always a lesson to be learnt from every mistake and for this instance, it was because I hadn't been alert. But there was more to that. Something greater. Initially, I thought it was probably regarding the issue of money.. about not serving two masters at the same time. . but I had this feeling which told me it wasn't. This was not an issue I was struggling with. As I searched deeper, I began to discover that it was about faith and persistence. As I began to pray, I felt that I was on the right track. The outcome of whether I would retrieve my purse back remained bleak.

BUT I KEPT PRAYING. And I even reviewed my prayer and made sure I didn't sound like a defeatist when I pray. I remembered how Ps Khong said we have to claim the promises of God and pray as though the prayer had been answered. And also, how we should continue to praise God in the face of trials, tests etc.

To sum it up, I got a call and got my purse back (actually i got several calls from him but my phone batt went flat! OMG right. Doesn't this sound contrived?! =)). Thanks to the driver who saw my purse on the road where I dropped it and had the integrity to return my purse and its contents in entirety! And he wanted nothing back. No moolah no nothing. Not even when I offered to write in a letter of compliment for him. He didn't want it.

2 things I'd remember from this saga:

The tremedous integrity of the man.
Emoonah/אמונה (Hebrew) - faith. God wanted to push me to persist in prayer and have more faith in him. I can testify that Faith do wonders. I had always questioned about destiny and prayer. That is, if God had destined for an event to happen, why pray? And since we have to pray for God's will to be done, then why pray for something to happen? But now I know that it isn't true. In that way, I was actually being pedantic. Or rather, I had a distorted view of how prayer works.

I can't thank the person enough and more importantly, I can't thank God enough for his grace (today's sermon!).

Alrighty. I hope this brief recount/testimony can bless you all in some ways or another.

Praise the Lord!

Reflection: Overcoming Fears

2009-02-24T20:38:00.004+08:00

Reflection: Overcoming fears

What happens if a man comes up to you and pushes something that feels like a pistol barrel behind your back? He threatens you to hand over all your money and valuables. In return, he would spare your life. What would you do? How would you feel? Scared? Frightened? Definitely. But wait a minute, what if he did NOT have a gun after all?...

Life is about experiences. But some times, the evidences that leads up to that experience may not be real. For all we know, that may be a piece of round metal object salvaged from the garang kuni man. After all, guns are prohibited in Singapore. =)

I believe many have heard it said, that "Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real". I can't agree more.

Many think of me as a person who is musically inclined. Some friends have commented that they wish they could have a nice voice like mine or be as talented as me musically.

However, not many knew about my fears in this subject. Many did not know that I suffered from a severe form of low self esteem and that I was constantly tormented by negative thought patterns. An example of which are the following "You are stupid", "You didn't make the grade at piano", "You sing terribly", "You are NEVER gonna make it".

For a moment in time, though I have been serving for years as a vocalist in church, I bought into the lies that I was lousy in my art. All because of the times I sang off-key, was not able to project my voice, did not manage to harmonize well or get the key right.

The evidences were against me. Kind people have gently suggested to me how I can take my singing to another level. Phrases like "Open your mouth", "Throw your voice out" and "Do these warm ups" were common tunes to my ears. Feelings of inadequacy flooded my being as I compared myself with those whom I perceived to be more musically inclined than me. The evidences appeared real. I did sing the harmonization badly. I did have a weak vocal projection. The evidences were all so real.

However, when we take a step back, we would see that it's not what others say about us that matters. Rather, it's how we have always perceived ourself to be. Our self perception determines it all. And the right image that we can have of ourselves can only be revealed and released to us by God.

Others see me as talented. But I saw myself as rotten because of my experiences in life and the evidences that points against me. It was only when I received new insight from God that I was able to see myself as who God has made me to be.

At the end of the day, I learnt that it really did not matter how others see me. What matters is how God sees me. And whether I can see myself through God's eyes. If we know our position in Christ and how much our Father loves and accepts us, we would not worry about our future or suffer when others make comments about our ability. We will be able to face life with radiance when we know that the work we do is affirmed by God.

I share my story with joy. It brings me immense pleasure to tell people that I am beautiful and intelligent because God made me that way. I may not be as witty or as eloquent as this person or that person. But the abilities that I already possess is good and will be blessed by God for doing His works.

In 4 months time, I will sit for my first piano exam. I will be facing my now diminishing fear by tackling the giant ivory keys. My assurance is not in how much I have practiced or what my piano teacher says about my skills. But rather, my confidence is in my God who loves me and tells me that I am wonderfully made. My assurance is in what God says about me.

Today, if you are facing fears, remember that they are just false evidences appearing real. Look up to our Father who will give you the real evidence. You, who now is made an heir of God and shares in Christ's glory, are intelligent, beautiful and endowed with all good things that He has prepared for you.

May God bless you as richly as He has blessed me.

THE NOBLE WOMAN

2008-10-10T14:51:00.000+08:00

Proverbs31:10-31
"THE WIFE OF THE NOBLE CHARACTER"

A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies,
Her husband had full confidence in herand lacks nothing of value.

She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
She selects wool and flaxand works with eager hands

She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
She gets up while it is still dark;
She provides food for her familyand portions for her servant girls

She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.

She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
In her hand she holds the distaffand grasps the spindle with her fingers.

She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes,
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.

She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her householdand does not eat the bread of idleness.

Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also,
and he praises her:"Many women do noble things,but you surpass them all."

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Trust

2008-07-25T12:08:00.003+08:00

All it takes is a little prayer and a little TRUST.

I was late for school and i decided to get a cab instead of getting a ride on bus that friday. So walking to the same roadside that i use to wait for cab, i saw a aunty also waiting for a cab. So i decided to cross the road and hail there instead.

Still observing the aunty, i saw her getting into a cab. And another lady came by and manage to hail another UN HIRED cab immediately.

Me:"Oh man... If i would have wait behind her, that cab would have been mine!"
Panicking as i watched the time click by...
(Watching numerous cabs passing by on the opposite lane.)
I have a second thought.
Me:"Maybe i should have just cross over and easily get a cab there."
No no. I TRUST GOD. I'll be able to get a cab here.
And before i could blink my eyes, a CAB, UN-hired came right infront of my eyes.
AND,
All it takes is a little of your
TRUST.

Psalm 133 - A song of ascents. Of David.

1 How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!
2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running
down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes.
3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD
bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.

---------------------------

what more to this psalm than actualy going out to build relationships. Well am determined that be it complains, grumbles and attitudes that surface along the way...none of these will stop the call of God to be united among sisters and brothers!

yeah...we had great time and i simply enjoyed it. here are the snaps i took =D

the Dash

2008-02-03T22:46:00.001+08:00

THE DASH
by Linda Ellis

I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end.

He noted that first came the date of her birth
And spoken of the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own,
The cars, the house, the case,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard;
Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
That can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough
To consider what's tru and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we've never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect
And more often wear a smile,
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.

So when you eulogy is being read
With your life's actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

here's the poem that Pastor Eugene shared at the end of the service today.. thought provoking... hmmmm.....

overcomer of God.. :)

You are my hiding place

2008-02-01T22:03:00.000+08:00

Psalm 32 - You are my hiding place
=======================

6 Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you while you may be found; surely when the mighty waters rise, they will not reach him. 7 You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.

Prayer:
Thank you Lord that when I learn to hide under your wings, there I find protection. Those times when I walk with my own strength, I have to battle with my own hands, my thoughts bring me no where. But when I seek you on my knees, to ask you for wisdom, you give generously. You pave the way and teach me how to speak with controlled emotions. Helping me to deliver my speech with wisdom, calming my heart to let you teach me patience. In your arms, I feel secure, loved and protected. With you, my head can be held up high. Before me, I learn that there is hope if only I do not give up. Lord, you are beautiful and I can sing songs of praise in moments of trouble. You are in the highest place. Glory to God in the highest. You are Emmanuel who is always with us. Those who seek you, they'll find you. Indeed blessed are those who dwells in your sanctuary. Love you God.

psalm - the heart's cry

2008-01-26T19:12:00.000+08:00

Psalm 26 (Of David) - Amplified Bible

1VINDICATE ME, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity; I have [expectantly] trusted in, leaned on, and relied on the Lord without wavering and I shall not slide.

2Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; test my heart and my mind.

3For Your loving-kindness is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth [faithfully].

4I do not sit with false persons, nor fellowship with pretenders;

5I hate the company of evildoers and will not sit with the wicked.

6I will wash my hands in innocence, and go about Your altar, O Lord,

7That I may make the voice of thanksgiving heard and may tell of all Your wondrous works.

8Lord, I love the habitation of Your house, and the place where Your glory dwells.

9Gather me not with sinners and sweep me not away [with them], nor my life with bloodthirsty men,

10In whose hands is wickedness, and their right hands are full of bribes.

11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; redeem me and be merciful and gracious to me.

12My foot stands on an even place; in the congregations will I bless the Lord.
----------------------------------------------------

"But as for me, I will walk in my integrity"

for many years as a leader, one of the questions I always ask myself... "Do I speak from good intention or simply for selfish gain?" It is true however, some things I hv said that really hurt my girls....simply because 'the truth hurts'. I've seen faces change and attitudes towards me turn bad. My heart can only cry out to God to let them understand where I'm coming from. Those who have ears, let them hear...

In this ministry, you can be easily misunderstood, yet i give God His full right to search through my heart and check every of my intention. Vindicate me O Lord, from the words spoken against me and give me new heart to love your precious daughters all over each moment.

Just a little insight into my heart. Lord, I will walk in my integrity.

No time?? The more u need to read!!

2008-01-23T17:10:00.000+08:00

Running out of time? The more u need to read!

I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do.

I! had to hurry and get to work For bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer, And jumped up off my knees.

My Christian duty was now done My soul could rest at ease.....

All day long I had no time To spread a word of cheer No time to speak of Christ to friends, They'd laugh at me I'd fear.

No time, no time, too much to do,

That was my constant cry, No time to give to souls in need But at last the time, the time to die.

I went before th e Lord, I came, I stood with downcast eyes.

For in his hands God! held a book; It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said 'Your name I cannot find I once was going to write it down... But never found the time'

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Happy moments, praise God.

Difficult moments, seek God.

Quiet moments, worship God.

Painful moments, trust God.

Every moment, thank God.

2008-01-03T23:50:00.000+08:00

Today we had cell group at Wendy's place. It is a lovely place because it is cozy and very clean!

We had a fun time gathering to hear one another's learnings on the book of Psalms, listen to Aunna teach us, locking down some key dates for the year and munching on lovely chocolates...

Wendy also has a lovely dog by the name of "moo-tah". She is very docile and well disciplined. A couple of us had fun watching her chase her tail.

Thank you Wendy for having us!

Happy 30th Birthday with a special surprise bash for the SPECIAL one!!

Aunna celebrate her 30th bday with 30 cupcakes, dance and entertainments!!

Evelyn to aunna: Glad u like the cup cakes and its my 1st attempt.. i love them vey much too~ hee... Thanks my da di who help to bake the muffin... Thanks my xiao di who attempt to help to make the cream but not too successful..

close up of the cake + my messy dining table.. Hee

okok.. some of u have been asking how to make the cream.. here's the recipe i use...

What you need

1. icing sugar

2. Whip cream (Can get from Red Man at $5.95)

Of course the fastest way is to use a electric mixer but if u dun have one like me.. Below are 2 methods u can try...

Method #1

1. Pour 1/2 cup of whip cream into a mixing bowl

2. Start to beat it

3. beat until it turn cream (to test it, turn over the bowl, if the cream stays mean it's ready)

4. Add 2 tablespoon of icing sugar (To harden it)

5. Add 1-2 drop of food colouring u want

6. Stir again to ensure all added things are evenly spread

Tada!! done it take about 45min -1hr to form cream.

Method #2

1. Pour 1/2 cup of whip cream into a mixing bowl
2. Start to beat it
3. beat until it turn cream

******** as you beat add a few tablespoon of 'prayer' depending of ur faith****** (to test it, turn over the bowl, if the cream stays mean it's ready)
4. Add 2 tablespoon of icing sugar (To harden it)
5. Add 1-2 drop of food colouring u want
6. Stir again to ensure all added things are evenly spread

Tada!! done it take about 15min to form cream.

prayer is really POWERFUL!!

i start to pray when i tried to beat the cream the 2nd time.. My hands were tired by then however after 15 mins the cream is form. whereas the 1st time i pray only after about 1/2 hr.. the whole thing onli form 15 mins after that..

prayer is SIMPLE!!

My prayer was " Lord help me form the cream"

As we trust God on small thing like this He answered.. What more about big thing?? He said "Ask and it will be given to you..." Matt7: 7

Dont look down on your prayer.... Keep the prayer going and chase away the devil.. It not need to b chim to be understand by God!! Jia you!!

ok now some pic for entertainment (During practise)

With His Love,

Evelyn

Thank you all for your LOVE 2007

2007-10-28T23:34:00.000+08:00

Why Do I get defensive?

2007-10-17T00:13:00.000+08:00

"Why do I get so defensive?"

Do you find that certain things just trigger the shocking response out of you and your actions may even bring adverse effects on your relationship with people around you? This simply means you are getting defensive. Well our responses may be classified under critical spirit, thoughtless words and defensive reaction. Yes, we say that our close ones hurt us most...the irony is also that we hurt our love ones the most too...

To DEFEND = To PROTECT and to OPPOSE (to protect self worth and oppose threats)

Roman12:2a Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

'Pattern' of this world is formed in our early childhood days with family/school. We either accept or hate the pattern, at times we hate this pattern without even knowing it. Eg when I was a child, my mum always tells me I’m stupid. So if anyone say directly that 'I’m stupid' or indirectly I received her message as 'I'm stupid', I may flare up and go into defensive mode which can be destructive to relationships.

Ultimate point it’s not so much about others deliberately hurting you (usually not the case) but it’s more because you have to learn to understand your inner thoughts that have been build over the years. Only you can understand those responses with conscious reflection. When you understand yourself and your responses, then it can help to resolve some of this unhappiness. The enemy may not be your parents/sister/brother/colleagues but it is important to bring your case to God and ask for wisdom to handle it in the Spirit and to learn how to resolve such conflicts. We don’t have to live in fear/anger/frustrations; in fact we are designed to receive perfect gifts from our heavenly Father. Romans12:2b Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Causes of Defensive Attitudes:

1) Self-worth threatened - largely determined by our past emotional experience especially relationship with parents/others in early childhood;

2) Unresolved conflict - verbal retaliation, withdrawal and no attempt to resolve unmet expectations (read Rom12:17, Rom12:19). If you have been wronged, it is your responsibility to share your perceptions to the other person in a positive way & not suffer in silence;

3) Physical deprivation - sickness, depressed feelings, lack of rest etc

Good questions to ask yourself

· What emotions did I feel when I responded defensively? Hurt? Anger? Disappointment? Shame?

· What message did the other person communicate to me? That I am inadequate? That I am stupid? That I don't mean much to him/her? That my ideas are unimportant? Is it condemnation or approval?

· What did my response, verbally or behaviourally, communicated to the person? That they are stupid? That they are not going to control me? That I greatly dislike what they did? That I will not tolerate it in the future? That I don't like them?

· What did my respond reveal about me? This is where your reflection upon the roots of your defensiveness will be helpful. Your defensive reaction may reveal something about your history that you have long forgotten. It may reveal an expectation you brought into the relationship but not shared.

Answering some of these questions will help you begin to learn something from your defensive reaction, whereas ignoring the issues simply sets you up to repeat it again later. After this reflection, be humble to do some peacemaking and learn to control better those areas until there is full breakthrough.

Its takes humility to go to the person whom you are not pleased with, they may have hurt you or you may feel hurt by them. Talk things through and pray together about the matter.

It is important to LEARN HOW TO DISCUSS or SHARE ideas without stimulating defensiveness in each other. Sentences like 'You should...', 'You ought....' can be defensive sentences about conversation may cease or conflicts start. We know that by understanding how we react about certain things helps us to take responsibility of our own actions (if we were harsh to the other person) 'I think it would be helpful...', 'in my opinion...' are good feedbacks, it is simply sharing it as your opinion or giving information to the other person without having to be defensive. Make requests rather than demands. Learn to build each other's self-esteem, self-worth and self-image.

Proverbs 29:11 - A fool gives full vent to his anger but a wise man keeps himself under control.

Proverbs 18:2 - A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions.

1Peter 5:8 - Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Ephesians 4:27 - do not give the devil a foothold.

Mark 12:31 - Love your neighbour as yourself.

May you be blessed and have the wisdom to ask God to heal your past wounds and subsequently to heal the wounds of your relationships. God loves you!

Received a forwarded email from my friend...

A man woke up early in order to have his morning devotion (prayer) in the lords house(church). He got dressed, set on his way to the lords house(church). On his way to the church, the man fell and his clothes got dirty.Hegot up,brushed himself off, and headed home. At home, he changed his clothes, and was, again, on his way to the lords house. On his way to thechurch, he fell again and at the same spot! He, again, got up, brushed himself off and headed home. At home he, once again, changedhis cloths and was on his way to the lords house(church). On his way to the house of God (church), he met a man holding a lamp. He asked the man of his identity and the man replied "I saw you fall twice on your way to>the house of God(church), so I brought a lamp so I can light yourway. The first man thanked him profusely and the two were on their way to the house of God(church). Once at the house of God (church), the first man asked the man with the lamp to come in and pray with him. The second man refused. The first man asked him a couple
more times and, Again, the answer was the same. The first man asked him why he did not wish to come in and pray. The man replied, "I am Satan". The man was shocked at this reply. Satan wenton to explain, "I saw you on your way to the house of God (Church)and it was I who made you fall. When you went home, cleaned yourself and went back on your way to the house of God(church), God forgave all of your sins. I made you fall a second time, and even that did not encourage you to stay home, but rather, you went back on your way to Church. Because of that, God forgave all the sins of the people of your household. I was afraid if I made you fall one more time, then Godwill forgive the sins of the people of your village, so I made sure thatyou reached the house of God (Church) safely."

So do not let Satan benefit from his actions. Do not put off the good you intended to do as you>never know how much reward you might receive from the hardships you encounter while trying to achieve that good. For your reigteousnesscan>save your family and nation at large. Do this and see the victory of the lord.

God never short change us :)

Romans 5: 3-5

Not only so, but we[c] also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us

Let's contiune to interceed for our families and nation

Find hope in the Lord... It FREE!!!

VICTORY

2007-08-12T23:49:00.000+08:00

100K VICTORY!!!

recalling yester days... many of you started the 100k campaign enthusiastic but fearful about accomplishing the 20 names for each warrior. I want to praise God that many of you signed up as warrior with much faith! The good news is that together as Aunna gals we have accomplished the blessings much more than we can imagine!

aunna darlings have blessed = 563 people!!!

(out of 22warrior signup)

FCBC have blessed more than 108,000 people!!!

WE DID IT BECAUSE WE MOVE AS A BIG FAMILY! praise God for each of you! Praise God also for the corporate anointing!

i was with Eve for NDP. guess wat, the non-sporean (me) was part of the largest human spore flag using umbrella! =) we saw the padang packed with around 9K people to hold up the Singapore flag. imagine 100k is 10 times this size!!! Indeed singapore hv been greatly blessed!

the best thing is .... we made new friend there! cos we exchanged our bags keke =)

humility comes before honour

2007-08-06T22:57:00.000+08:00

Here's my testimony. =)

As I started going out to bless people and my friends on the first week of the 100k Blessings Campaign, I would say, God really showed me lots of open doors. However, it was whether I have the courage to approach them or not. And, ya, I blessed 7 on the first week. Hence, I continued going out to bless and I blessed a total of 16 at the end of the third week. It may not be a lot but, I'm contented for God has already showed me so many open doors though I did receive rejections too.

Only till this week whereby I didn't really do much or rather, I should confess that I didn't do any blessings till Thursday morning. Somehow, I just felt prompted by God to bless my mum therefore, I tried to bless her as I took out the 100k Blessings pamphlet. However, she rejected straight away by telling me that I should know what's at home, which is the Buddha that my dad pray to since I was still a toddler. I felt quite disappointed and I messaged Grandma Aunna about it. She encouraged me to continue praying for her which is what I will but, I was quite discouraged to continue doing the blessings. However, after dwelling on it till early afternoon, I finally told myself that the more I'm discouraged or rejected, the more I must bless even more people. So, I came online and started blessings those friends whom I have not talk to them for quite a long period of time. And, I thank God that they were rather open as they kept thanking me for the blessings. On top of that, I managed to finish my 20. But, more importantly, I really thank God for teaching me so much through this campaign as He has taught me to persevere on despite receiving many rejections in a row and especially from my mum whom I really thought I could manage to bless. He blessed me to step out of my comfort zone too as I went about shopping malls and even the stalls at coffee shop nearby my house to bless the people.

Love,
Amelia

My 100k blessing

2007-08-06T19:39:00.000+08:00

I blessed one of my malay friend L, during the first week of 100k blessings. Today when i met up with L, she was sharing with me that she's receiving a sponsoring from the community centre that will be paying for her entire school fees and also giving her $1200 per year while she's schooling... And she turn to me says:"i think it's the 100k blessing." PRAISE GOD for answered prayer on financial freedom! She thanked me... Also for the 100k blessings that i had offered her. And i told her... It's not by my power, but through Him... Jesus Christ. :)

Was having dinner at granny's place in the evening.. After getting granny to sign on my 'Big Walk donation card'. I felt that i wanted to bless her with my 100k... But, am really fearful... Out of the sudden i was reminded of attending funeral whereby friend's grandparents are prebeliever... And i know how much i desire my grandparents to know Jesus.. And with the 100k blessings, it's a chance to let her know Jesus and also encounter God's power!

So i took the pamplet and told granny that i want to bless her with the 100k... And thank God she's open to it too!

Thank God and praise GOD!

Love,

Wendy

See the cards below? Let's go put them into the hands of people we want to bless. 100k...we'll reach you soon by faith! JIAYOU WARRIORS!!! =D

I've seen so many of you grow this period. May it be your LIFESTYLE to always be a blessing. Let's be firm and stand strong. Keep the testimonies coming k.

I have one answered prayer. The person I blessed couldn't find a job for the past 4 months, it has been emotionally draining for her thus far. At the 100k launch, I told her to trust God for a miracle that by 9Aug, she'll find a job. Well yes, she is hired now! Indeed God hears our prayers!

HOLY SPIRIT YOUR ENERGY BOOST!

We are almost reaching the end of 4th week of 100k blessing. isn't it amazing that when the church come together...we blessed more than 53k people last sunday and surely 100k is achievable!

There are times when even I myself struggle with the 100k. My office day may start with meeting hostile colleagues and stressful pressures. I ask God, how then can I be a blessing to them? I'll go all out to bless the next 2 days. Just like the wind turbine turns because there is wind...WARRIORS we move because we are recharged whenever filled with the HOLY SPIRIT.

1cOR9:24-27

Run in such a way as to get the prize....Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

let's declare this together

Zec4:6 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.

The Completion of the Wall

Neh 6:15-16 So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days. 16 When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of our God.

I was so encouraged when pastor shared how the people come together to complete re-building the wall. For 70years the walls remain in ruins but when the people of God rise up, they completed the task in 52 days!

so what are you waiting for?lets PRAY, PRAY and TOGETHER WE CAN DO IT! =) I encourage you to grab another person's hand to go and bless together.

Our God is a mighty God..

I didn’t fast for the last 1.5 weeks.. I didn’t bless anyone last week.. I didn’t spend much quiet time with God last week… I perform badly today during choir duty in fact worst as compare to the previous duties.. I miss the clap, steps, lyrics etc.. and I almost make history.. “The 1st to drop off stage platform while serving”. Lucky I only fall on one leg and manage to bounce back.. hee..

With all these happen, I was rather upset throughout the whole week..

Suddenly this question pops up in my mind… “Is God gonna discount His love for me?”
God answer is “No, He love me as who I am”
The question God has is “How much I love Him??”
If I love Him enff I will rely on Him strength to fast, worship.. And step out in faith to bless ppl without string attach.. My stings include fear, doubt, unbelieving…”

So today, my prayer is
Lord Father, teach me how to love You.. Lord I know I can’t love You like You have love me… Lord I need You.. May You take away all my fear, doubt, unbelieving.. ONLY through You I can scale heights and cross wide river.. In Your strength I can speak Your name boldly…I claim this prayer in the name of Jesus.. Amen

Our God is a mighty God.. Nothing is impossible to Him… To Him impossible is nothing..

On a Side track

Everywhere bless bless

A blessing to your parents?

2007-07-17T00:15:00.000+08:00

A blessing to your parents? ;P

My mummy called me today ONLY to tell me to be good daughter-in-law next time. haha she is so sweet hor. well to some ppl it may sound like a nag...to me, she just want to leave me with a precious reminder.

Later on i told her this, "mummy, don't worry so much about $ okay. I want to bless you with a nice dress and make you beautiful on my big day." Then I heard a chuckle on the other side of the phone, and I could picture her smiling sweetly over in malaysia.

well, let's continue to bring a smile to those who cares and thinks for us dearly. Am sure as you bless others for family harmony or relationships...By faith, as you pray, your heart will also be changed to love your family more. Indeed it is more blessed to give than to receive.

Ephesians 6
1Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2"Honor your father and mother"—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3"that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth."

humility comes before honor

My Faith Story for the 100K Champaign

My patient, Mr. Tan, 88years old has been admitted to hospital for3-4 days, went through lot of scanning and scope but fail to find any reason, he became tired by the day and his health was going downhill. Eventually he did not have the strength to stand and he had no appetite; also suffering from bodyache for the past few days after the scope. Doctor has administered medication for him, but it doesn’t seem to help him. On 12/07/07, as I was working morning shift, God prompted me that this patient need blessing from me, so after work, I went up to him and told him, “Mr. Tan, I’m a Christian, my church is having the 100k blessing Champaign and I want to bless u”, so I pass to him the 100k form and he was so happy and he filled in and followed the prayer.

Next day, as I walked into the ward, passes by his room, I saw him sat on the chair and he was shaking both his legs, he looked so different from what I saw him the day before. His daughter approached me and told me that her dad is so much better, no longer complaining about body ache, in fact, his appetite returned and even had the strength to stand and sit on the chair for more than 3 hours without complaining tired. His daughter was so happy and thanked me for the prayer. Prayer works! It was a miracle indeed. Amen.

100K blessing

2007-07-12T22:50:00.000+08:00

Yesterday my G12 and I went out in pairs in Marine Parade to bless the community. Qiuling and I blessed Uncle See who owns the minimart just opposite TC, in Blk 80. He shared that the area has a lot of fighting especially at night when people get drunk. He asked us to pray for harmony among people, and bless the area with peace. Both of us wanted to bless him by buying a drink, but to our surprise he blessed us both with drinks free of charge! He said we are 'good people' and he wanted to bless us. This reminds me of Matthew 10:11-13 where we were received with welcome gifts. I encourage everyone who can to pray along and bless the very vicinity of our home TC. I will go and bless him more by buying drinks from him!

Jiayou gals, you can be a blessing!!! =D

Look! 4 generations going to Ed Silvoso conf to be a blessing...surely there'll be many more generations to come!!! =P

Psalm 77
~~~~~~

1 I cried out to God for help;

I cried out to God to hear me.
2 When I was in distress, I sought the Lord;

at night I stretched out untiring hands

and my soul refused to be comforted.
3 I remembered you, O God, and I groaned;

I mused, and my spirit grew faint. Selah

4 You kept my eyes from closing;

I was too troubled to speak.
5 I thought about the former days,

the years of long ago;
6 I remembered my songs in the night.

My heart mused and my spirit inquired:
7 "Will the Lord reject forever?

Will he never show his favor again?
8 Has his unfailing love vanished forever?

Has his promise failed for all time?
9 Has God forgotten to be merciful?

Has he in anger withheld his compassion?" Selah

10 Then I thought, "To this I will appeal:

the years of the right hand of the Most High."
11 I will remember the deeds of the LORD;

yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12 I will meditate on all your works

and consider all your mighty deeds.
13 Your ways, O God, are holy.

What god is so great as our God?
14 You are the God who performs miracles;

you display your power among the peoples.
15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,

the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

-----------------------------------------------

Oh LORD, you are such WONDERFUL and BIG-Hearted God to redeem us from all dangers, all falls...if the parents can be heart-broken by their children's fall...surely your heart has been broken many times...yet SO MUCH GRACE is shown in your LOVE. God, show us your MIRACLES this day! We long for MORE of YOU!

I love this Song

" Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your kingdom's cause
As i walk from earth into eternity "

This is my prayer
Heal my heart from every rejection, judgement and wounds.. Make it clean and pure.
Open my eyes to see the good side of ppl. Open my eyes to see the world of children with Autism tt we dun understand.
Show me how to love as Your children especially to those i find it hard to love.
Break my heart for what break Yours that i will know Your heart
Everything i've go thr use it for Your glory
I want to enter heaven and stay with You forever... I want my loved one to enter heaven too..

I TELL YOU, IF THEY KEEP QUIET, THE STONES WILL CRY OUT.

I was sitting at MacDonalds today and reading the past few days of 40-days prayer devotion. These words keep running in my mind...what is my heart condition? Is it like the Pharisses or Saducces, or like that of Jesus's disciples?

Well I have chosen the heart to TALK ABOUT GOD! Am glad that many of you have come to me to join the 5k army. Thank God for each of you. If you have been a stone all this while (stone means it keeps quiet and kinda dead), FAITH will activate you to ACT it out.

Matt 3

1In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea 2and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." ... 5People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. 6Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. 7But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. 9And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

A repentant person is one who decides to let God guide him/her in each step of life. Over the years, I allowed countless moments where God chop off the fruitless branches, eg words that I should not say. May you find new fruits in your vineyard, new growth as your choose to be that STONE that CRIES OUT. You are a WARRIOR!

Second Mile Giving

2007-07-02T22:30:00.000+08:00

Little do I know, a little of generosity becomes someone blessing.

"Second Mile of Giving" is the mile of love giving, the release of the Power of God.

This phrase brings Eunice and me into an action for the day. A tourist came approaching to us at the Expo train station, asking for direction towards Bencoolen Hotel. At first, we told her the nearest station to alight. In the end, we guided her all the way from Expo to the doorstep of the Hotel. Although this is not my first time to guide a person, I knew it is different from all my previous experience. Before Eunice and me made the decision to do something that is further than asked, I made a call to Nataline asking her opinion, and thanks God, she told me the "second mile giving" and that was what God was calling us to do. It was God who spoke to me that I could make a difference for the tourist and myself. It was God who spoke to me that He would be proud and delighted for me for doing such deeds.

"I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life" Matthew 19:28-29

It was God who spoke to me that a little effort will save up the picnic and the time consumed for the tourist to find her way to the Hotel. It was God who spoke to me that I have to serve before Him. After helping up, I was very happy from what we have done though I was a bit hungry (last meal eaten at 9.30am). God likes to put each and every individual into tests to see how faithful we are to Him.

"what good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. James 2:14-17".

Anyway, I have dreamt of a person in particular for three times a week. I knew it was the calling of God that He wants me to approach and talk to this person no matter how strict and scary he is. I trust God that He will give me the courage that is lacking in me and He will make things new for me.

EJ288 what have I Learnt?

2007-06-13T00:23:00.000+08:00

Reflecting on EJ288 retreat

one of the sermons by pastor was about being too focused on small things and loose out on the big picture... i was reflecting on that and i said 'hhm... God, what is it that you are telling me?'

Then we had a sand castle builiding session. It was a lovely time. I was in charge of building the main staircase at the entrance. Do you know that it is not that simple? We took all in all 2hrs to build our castle aka mansion! me and stanley build and rebuild it 5-6 times! finally we got the shape we wanted. wahh...it was arduous to make the entrance beautiful! it not that grand after all... but still proud of it =D

well when I finally stood up and looked at what my whole team was doing...I found so many exciting things that i wasn't even aware my teammates were building! there stood the colloseum, botanic garden and rock walls! and i even forgot how many times some of them have to run to and fro to fetch water for us!

well God is saying, it takes everyone to build His kingdom. if our ears have been open, Jackie Pullinger touched the lives of the drug-addicts, Landa Cope taught us about big picture christian world view... I was awaken from just the small focus on our gals. i wanna see big picture of God's hands moving! am excited for the coming 100K blessings...yes, it takes all of US to see the big beautiful picture. Let's LOOK FAR and ASK BIG! =D

Youth Camp: Battlefield! (or is it... Sleep... py... field....?)

2007-06-07T13:08:00.000+08:00

Heyz all you young and youthfy people,

Are you all geared up for the Youth Camp especially planned for you? If you are still floating around and reading this post at 1.43pm, Thursday, then you are obviously not at the right place!

You know, I've been reflecting on this Youth Camp and the sign up. This is obviously not the first time we're having a youth camp and I'd have thought that by this time people would be clamoring to make this camp the BIGGEST EVENT OF THEIR LIVES (ok, at least for the June holidays. Hey, you don't have much to look forward to in the June holidays, do you? :smile: )

Anyway, we all know how it is in general. People sign up and then realize they can only be there for a day or half a day. Then some sign up and withdraw due to other commitments. *tsk tsk!* (Nope, I am not pointing fingers here. Just taking a step back to look at the situation and making some comments on it.)

Okay, let's analyze this as a case study. Seriously, where are our hearts? And how important do we view this Youth Camp? Oh sure, some would say, "It's just another church camp." But the fact remains, "It is THE church camp. And I mean THE TRIBE camp." Now, wouldn't that make the Youth Camp be in high priority for those who are "er-hem" youths?

If you know me by now, it would not take you long to guess that I would have been one of those who would sign up for the Youth Camp long ago. That is, if I am still a youth! (Though I must maintain that I am still very much like one at heart! :lol:) And by the way, if I were still schooling, and really, IF I am a student at this point in time, I'd drop all my work and skip my lessons to go for the camp. *At this point in time, I can hear gasp of horror... What!? Aunty Kelly is advocating that we skip our lessons!!? That is sooo "un-Christian" and so naughty! How can!?*

O come on, give me a break. Honestly, is skipping a tutorial or two that serious? And hey, I am not saying we should skip lessons during the school term. It's the holidays now! What is a holiday if we are still made to go back to school?... That's be quite a farce, wouldn't it?

And while I think studies are important, it is not that important to warrant the seat at the pinnacle of my "very-high-priority-list". Ok then, so does that mean church activities are very very important? Actually, the answer is no. The activities are not very important but where your heart belongs and what it makes a stand for is very very important.

Perhaps you'd say that it's just Weird Kelly trying to make her point again but I'd say this, we NEED to make a stand. Let's just say for now that I am as student. If I am a student, then my responsibility is to study. But I think there is a limit to what we are responsible for. And if people are just shoving supplementary lessons down our throats, it's time to spit them out.

Call me crazy, but I think after studying for so many semesters, it's ok to give school a miss during the holidays. (Argh! It's the holidays! Give us our freedom!) And if the school really wants to call my parents over a lesson missed, I don't care two hoots about it.

Think about this, formal education in an institute is something impressed upon the society in the 1000s. And I really wonder (in our modern context) if it has freed us or enslaved us.

Kelly's battlefield cry today: Study all you can, learn all you can, but never be enslaved by the institution!

And Mark Twain puts it more aptly, "Never let school interfere with your education".

Global Day of Prayer - 27May

I was encouraged when many gathered at the national stadium to PRAY. Though not the whole place is filled but I'm glad to see those prayer warriors STILL PRAYING DOWN THE PRESENCE OF GOD IN SINGAPORE.

The touching scene was when the father asked his daughter for forgiveness for his lack of knowledge to bring her up and the daughter also asked her dad for forgiveness of her defiance.

Malachi4:6

God will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers...

I am reminded of the many broken families in our midst. How the children lack role models and turn to other influences of life....be it fashion, beauty etc. There's always the choice to set it right or let it remain where it is. If you desire to see breakthrough, seek the Lord with all your heart. Let it start with you. When there's repentance, there's reconciliation and restoration. The LORD loves you and wants to pour forth his blessings...

Jeremiah29:11-14

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity.

Raising the new generation

Raising the new generation of youths

How do we kill the monsters that is in some of us? You sure you don't see any? Well if you look around, there are the lazy monsters when it comes to homework, sleepy monsters when it comes to QT and of course those mindsets, habits and attitudes that need a change of clothes! Here you go, wield your sword real well and do it right ok!

STEP 1. TAKE UP THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT

STEP 2. PASTE ONTO THE MONSTERs TO KILL THE OLD SELF

STEP 3. MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE SWORDs SO THAT THE NEW MAN COMES ALIVE AGAIN! Do that will a little powerful prayer.

Now you know the secret steps...I bless you to bless and heal many. The brokenness in us is only momentary because with our God, He brings new life into us! Enjoy your journey with God! May you grow, grow and GROW STRONGER!!! =D

2007-05-22T00:31:00.000+08:00

I was reading the book of Luke. These are the familiar phrases people brought to Jesus...

Luke 5:12 The man with leprosy said, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."

Luke18:13 The tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'

Luke 18:39 The crowd rebuked the blind man and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

....and Jesus in healed them in His mercy and grace.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

well, i reflected on the sermon on 'Brokenness'. It seems that the greatest sinners and those who are sick will reach out to God. Whereas the pharisees find every attempt to put Jesus down.

if you zoom in to the picture below, you'll see a cross on top of the mountain. i saw this in germany while travelling on the train, i was fascinated and quickly the snap picture! my one claim, yeah someone put the cross there! but will many look up at it? Will you today look up to the cross of God? His mercies never ends...

In the arms of God

2007-05-19T11:49:00.000+08:00

Yesterday during worship at G12 meeting, I felt I was in the arms of the Lord. It was sweet. Tears streamed down and its was comforting to be in the arms of the Lord, just like a little child in her Father's arms. All else does not matter. The word I heard (in my mind) throughout the day was 'humbled'. Its takes more humility to come to Jesus than anything. When we are a child, we run to our parents with no hesitation, but when we are older, we say 'I'm ok!' and we decide things by ourselves; there's no need to involve another. Yet the irony is, we need to know when we should run to Jesus. May you find rest in God and His arms strengthens you.

Luke10:41-42

"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

2Samuel 22:33 David said...

It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.

Isn't he cute with the Helmet of Salvation? I met a parent whose child who attends David's club. She shared that it is good for the kid to grow in the sunday schools, a healthy place. Praise God, parents truly have the endearing heart to nurture the kids at young age.

Wow...I feel tired after taking care of the kids for 2hrs, what more for the parents to bring up their kids for 10yrs, 20yrs and more? Yet as a spiritual mother, I know it takes both hands to clap. Our heart is for the young generation to grow up to be Christlike. However the influences of the world is to draw the children away from God. Indeed it is every parent's heart to see the kids grow up to CHOOSE God rather than be distracted by things of the world and temptations.

Some of us need to re-check our salvation, do we have the heart of Pharisees that know the bible only as head knowledge? Has your heart hardened and wondered away from the promises of God? Phil2:12 continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

Let us declare to God... Psalm13:5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

Will you wear your helmet of Salvation? Trust in God's unfailing love.

Parents Appreciation Dinner

2007-05-11T02:05:00.000+08:00

Thank God and praise God for reminding us to love and bless our parents. It was wonderful time to see the parents smile and tear, the children pluck up courage to tell their parents that they are grateful and love them. May each of you continue to shine at home and be a blessing to your parents!

The children give...

2007-05-07T00:34:00.000+08:00

Today is nursery duty with 1-3yr old lovely babies. I love the part where the young children give their offerings.

Each child was given 2 little biscuit buns, they are to hold in their hands...self-control means not to pop them into mouth! many hold it so tightly and were so ready to eat it! well, they were taught that God is good and God loves a cheerful giver. A little basket was passed around and the kids were to give 1 biscuit to the Lord and 1 biscuit they can eat. Initially I thought they would surely cry to give that biscuit away! To my amazement, the little children willingly throw that 1 biscuit into the basket and eat the other biscuit. Since they are such good kids, they were later rewarded by more biscuits =D

The little lesson is, the little children are able to give back to the Lord. Can you also give back to teh Lord? Or is it the paradox where the older you are, the harder it is to give?

Surrender to the Lord with all your heart. As you give your BEST to the Lord, He is pleased and will pour forth His abundant grace into your lives. Give to the Lord your best time as a youth... give to the Lord your heart with undivided devotion... give to the Lord that honor by living a righteous life to be pure and importantly, give those words to encourage, bless and intercede. God loves a cheerful giver!

Trusting in God's timing

2007-05-02T23:58:00.000+08:00

Trusting in God's timing

Human nature tends to want everything right now. We’re always in a hurry. Most of us get impatient when we miss a lift or bus! When we pray for our dreams to come to pass, we want them to be fulfilled immediately. But we have to understand, God has an appointed time to answer our prayers and to bring our dreams to pass. And the truth is, no matter how badly we want it sooner, no matter how much we pray and plead with God, it’s not going to change His appointed time. It’s still going to happen on God’s timetable.

David had a big dream for his life. He had a desire to make a difference, but as a young man he spent many years as a shepherd, caring for his father’s sheep. He must have thought, God, what am I doing out here? There’s no future in this place. I want to do something big for You. When are You going to change this situation? But David understood God’s timing. He knew that if he would be faithful in obscurity, God would promote him at the right time. He said, “God, I’m trusting You. My times are in Your hands.” He was saying, in effect, “God. I know You are in control. Although I don’t see anything happening, You are working behind the scenes, and at the right time, You’re going to change this situation.” God brought David out of those fields, he defeated Goliath, and eventually he was made king of Israel.

Perhaps you have a big dream in your heart—a dream to have a good marriage, a dream to help hurting people—but like David, you don’t really see any human way your dream could happen.I have good news for you! God isn’t limited to natural, human ways of doing things. If you will trust God and keep a good attitude, staying faithful right where you are and not getting in a hurry and trying to force things to happen, He will bring your dreams to pass in due season.

If you’re not seeing God move in your life right now, one of two possibilities must be considered. Either your requests are not God’s best and will probably not be answered the way you’d like, or it is not be the right time. If God were to answer that prayer the way you are hoping, it could interfere with His ideal plan for you.

Psalm 75:2 I choose the appointed time; it is I who judge uprightly.

ARMOR OF GOD!

2007-04-29T21:33:00.000+08:00

Can you remember every single piece of the ARMOR OF GOD??? There's a reason why this chapter is repeated during many services. If you still can't remember what part of the armor you need to wear, MEMORISE IT! ;p

Ephesans 6:10-19

Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

Stand firm...

- with the BELT OF TRUTH buckled around your waist,

- with the BREATPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS in place,

- with your BOOT OF PEACE,

Take up...

- the SHIELD OF FAITH, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

- the HELMET OF SALVATION;

AND HOLD UP...

- the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

It was such great reminder that we are to hold up the Sword of the SPIRIT. How many of us really use this weapon to fight the enemy? May be you are fighting a losing battle daily cause you are not swinging your sword the right way? Or you have forgotten how to hold the sword? In the word, it means to pray in the SPIRIT in all occasions, when you pray the spiritual battle of the mind is won, the battle of emotions will be calmed, the battle of anger and wrath will come to peace. Today, start swinging your sword correctly, hold it with you at all times! PRAY IN THE SPIRIT ALWAYS. Fight the battle and win victoriously!

Words of Wisdom

Words of Wisdom by Mother Theresa

If you judge people, you have no time to LOVE them.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I do know that when we die and it comes the time for God to judge us, He will not ask, "How many good things have you done in your life?" rather, He will ask, How much LOVE did you put into what you did?

Be faithful in small things because it is in there that you STRENGTH lies.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Personally I find it so true that if you judge people, you have no time to love them. When you judge, you allow critical thoughts to remain in your mind and have a fixed viewpoint on others. Perhaps you may distant yourself from that person and slowly the relationship somewhat dies. Your thought may be, how can you love someone that you think is 'like that' and somewhat 'hopeless'?

Is there a friend that you despise talking to? Is there a quarrel that can never be resolved? Come to God to learn that heartbeat of LOVE. He gave till it hurts and He gave it all. You can be that person that LOVE until your friend's life changes, until your friend sees hope because you hope in her. Will you?

Hi gals!

my thoughts

2007-04-26T00:43:00.000+08:00

Tonite God spoke to me once again that in Him there is no darkness, but complete freedom. Are there some things that you still keep in the dark and find it so hard to surface it? Its a choice whether to surface it and let God heal and restore you completely.

There are times at I just don't want to do housecleaning...excuses, laziness comes to the mind...'perhaps another day?' Dirts collect under cupboards and those corners that the broom cant sweep. Sometimes dirt is sweep under the carpet and old stories are just forgotten. Its can be painstaking to remove them. Yet its amazing how God decided to send His son Jesus Christ to clean up our lives with the blood of the lamb. Will you put your trust in Him? This is a year of VICTORY!

A daughter shared that she's glad to be able share deep moments because she knew she's completely freed and healed. Praise God! Its a beautiful sight to see her smile =)

1John1:5 - God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

Parents appreciation

2007-04-23T20:30:00.000+08:00

Parent's appreciation year 2006

This was taken last year when i went for the Parent's appreciation dinner. Much consideration took place as i fear that my dad might turn down on my invitation... But, by faith i still paid for the dinner and continue praying that daddy will come with me. And indeed God hears my prayer! My dad came...

It's a wonderful night where love and thanks-giving took place... It's really scary to speak infront of the crowd and it's even more scary to declare my love so openly! But God's with me! I thank my dad for raising me up for the past 21 years, and i even apologize for the times when i was lead astray by peers that lead my dad to so many heartbreaking moments. Looking at my dad, i know that he's happy.

Let your parents see how the Lord had change you... Show them how much you actually appreciate their love...
Fill them with your blessings.......

Parent's appreciation dinner is the time!!!!!

He is my shield

Proverbs 30:5-9

5 "Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. 6 Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar. 7 "Two things I ask of you, O LORD; do not refuse me before I die: 8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. 9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, 'Who is the LORD ?' Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I thank God for every WORD that is written. At times I just tell God, wah...i still need so much wisdom from above! Its a blessing to know the HEART OF CONTENTMENT. Have you found that peace like the wiseman? Bottom line, your financial blessings come from God. You can have financial freedom. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well..

Philippians 4:12-13 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

2007-04-16T01:34:00.000+08:00

I wanna give thanks! For quite a period a feel the office is a very dry place to reach out to. Praise be to God that this Good Friday the Lord brought 2 of my colleagues to church. They were both at service today!!! I saw them and I was just filled with inexpressible glorious joy. Thank God for new breakthroughs!

One of my colleagues re-dedicated his life to Jesus and willing to join a cell. The other came from staunch Budhhist family, he watched 'The Passion of Christ' and started to read bible. God's truth spoke so much to him that he knows God is GOD. wow! I pray more people will seek God by seeking the WORD of GOD!

question for you... are you convicted by what you read daily? if you have been taking it for granted, time to re-adjust back you life to put in the most important thing...
READ THE WORD, THE TRUTH THAT GIVES YOU LIFE TO THE FULLEST!!!

Forgiveness

2007-04-12T01:05:00.000+08:00

I was pondering on this... does forgiveness means you forgive someone only when he/she says 'sorry'? OR does forgiveness mean you choose to forgive even though the person who have hurt you have not yet say ''I'm sorry'?

Luke 23:34

Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

God has a big heart to forgive us while we are still sinners. Similarly, one of the action of loving is to be forgiving. Are there any close to your heart who hurt or disappoint you? Would you forgive the person, pray for him/her to recognise their faults? It can be done. Jiayou!!!

Good Friday

2007-04-07T03:32:00.000+08:00

When I was younger, I always looked forward towards Good Friday as it was a public holiday, therefore, no school.

I still look forward towards Good Friday now, albeit with an additional reason. I give thanks for Jesus, who died on the Cross for me and my sins.

Today's event I felt was a success. It was not how many people who came and received Christ but how much we can give to them. I saw my brothers and sisters actively walking out of the comfort zone and trying to make small talk amongst the friends we brought, taking the effort to make every single one feel welcome.

At that moment, I felt God standing next to me saying, "You've all grown up." I guessed so too.

I was always afraid of sharing the gospel, in fact to mention the name of Jesus in front of my friends is like a taboo. I was very afraid that they may reject violently to this 2-syllabus name and from that moment on, they will not be my friends. Even when i invite them for church activities, I try to say it in a roundabout indifferent way, just to minimise the "impact".

But after being in Church for so long, I think it is time for me to stop being a slave to the world. I placed my faith in God and when friends asked me about my church family, I went all out to share with them, thanking God right in front of them.

And i realised it wasn't that nightmarish after all. In fact, i think it cemented the friendships!

No one said that being a Christian or sharing about Christ is going to be lauded or easy but really, God is a nice man. If you are obedient towards Him, He'll help you in ways you cannot imagine. All we have to do is stop giving excuses, it's difficult but not impossible. Hehe =)

love;

This is a simple prayer song sung by kids, i heard it today and realised Nyk also sent out his reflections regarding this. I thank God that His love is simple, without conditions attached. And i believe this song being simple is what we all need to come back. As we grow and have more knowledge, often we get so sucked into having alot of head knowledge but, whether your heart is having the same heartbeat .. ? May we all grow up serving Him. =D

Kids Prayer -
Dear God, thank You for loving me and giving me Your all. When I grow up, I will still be serving you. I want to know you more, I want to love you more. I'll never forget You, Lord. In Jesus's name, Amen~

I want to know You, Lord

You are a great big God

I'm young and do not know alot

Come and be my all

I want to love You more

Giving You my life and all

You died for me, You sacrificed

I won't forget You, Lord

I love You, Jesus

I'll grow up knowing You

I love You, Jesus

I'll grow up serving You

I love You, Jesus

My life is saved by You

I'll never forget, never forget

I'll grow up loving You

What does Good Friday mean to me

2007-04-07T00:10:00.000+08:00

What does Good Friday mean to me

A fren invited to me to a Good Friday event in year 1998. There were so many questions jumping around in my head...is there really God? why do my frens love God so much for? God, where are you? If you are real, bring peace to my heart please..."

The Lord spoke to me in amazing way. God used a song to touch me.
HE WILL COME AND SAVE YOU.

For many years I looked strong, calm and steady to many. Little did I know God knows my heart and its real state. The sadness, loneliness and hopelesses is swept under the carpet of my heart. When people ask me, my answer is always, 'I'm ok!' Well when I heard this song, His love filled my heart, His love touhes and heals the innermost unspoken hurts of the past. That day I knew someone greater is looking after me. I gave my life to Jesus. Will you give God full reign of your life too?

HE WILL COME AND SAVE YOU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Say to those who are fearful hearted
Do not be afraid
The Lord your God
Is strong with His mighty arms
When you call on His name
He will come and save

He will come and save you
He will come and save you
Say to the weary one
Your God will surely come
He will come and save you
He will come and save you
He will come and save you
Lift up your eyes to Him
You will arise again
He will come and save you

Say to those who are broken hearted
Do not lose your faith
The Lord your God
Is strong with His loving arms
When you call on His name
He will come and save

He is our refuge in the day of trouble
He is our shelter in the time of storm
He is our tower in the day of sorrow
Our fortress in the time of war

Are you sleeping?

2007-04-04T23:57:00.000+08:00

Pastor led us back to the scene at Garden of Gethsemane. For 3 times, Jesus found his disciples sleeping when they are suppose to pray...

Question: Are you sleeping?
Are you praying? What is the state of your heart?

I had a vision just now as we prayed in tongues, I saw the walls slowly breaking down and bit by bit i can see millions of people standing on the other side of the wall. Hhhm...the wall was still standing there but WEAKENED! Let's pray somemore! I'm praying that especially our families and friends are able to come and be with us...let's pray strong for this Miracle Weekend!

Born to die

2007-04-02T20:49:00.000+08:00

Born to die

The Old Testament tells us that God appeared as a human being on several occasions. If Jesus wanted only to heal and teach, he could have simply appeared. But he did more: he became a human. Why? So he could die. To understand Jesus, we need to understand his death. His death is a crucial part of the gospel and something all Christians should know.

Jesus said, “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28). He came to give his life, to die, and his death would purchase salvation for others. This was the primary reason he came to earth. His blood was poured out for others (Matthew 26:28).

Jesus warned his disciples that he would suffer and die, but they didn’t seem to believe it. “Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life. Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. ‘Never, Lord!’ he said. ‘This shall never happen to you!’” (Matthew 16:21-22).

Jesus knew that he must die, because the Scriptures said so. “Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected?” (Mark 9:12; 9:31; 10:33-34). “Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself…. ‘This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day’” (Luke 24:26-27, 46).

It had all been according to God’s plan: Herod and Pilate did only what God “had decided beforehand should happen” (Acts 4:28). In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus asked if there might be some other way, but there was none (Luke 22:42). His death was necessary for our salvation.

`````````````````````````````````````````````````````

Seven Images of Salvation

The New Testament uses a wide range of images to express the richness of the work of Christ. We may describe these images as analogies, models or metaphors. Each gives part of the picture:

Ransom: a price paid to achieve someone’s freedom. The emphasis falls on the idea of being freed, not the nature of the price.

Redemption: the basic idea is "buying back," or for a slave, buying freedom.

Justification: being put right with God, as if declared by a court to be in the right.

Salvation: the basic idea is deliverance or rescue from a dangerous situation. The word can also suggest restoration to wholeness, a healing.

Reconciliation: the repair of a broken relationship. God reconciles us to him. He acts to restore a friendship, and we respond to his initiative.

Adoption: making us legal children of God. Faith brings about a change in our status, from outsider to family member.

Forgiveness: This can be seen in two ways. In legal or financial terms, forgiveness is like the cancellation of a debt. In terms of personal relationship, forgiveness means the setting aside of personal hurt or injury.

** Today, reflect upon the love that Jesus had to die for you. Receive His LOVE.

this morning...

2007-03-28T00:30:00.000+08:00

i was late this morn, so took a cab. well... at traffic junction, the car in front was kinda slow to turn right. the lady cab driver started scolding etc etc. she cut out of the lane and went forward... and the chase started. the car drove forward, horned and block every path of cab driver. she tries to change lane but the guy will block and block. at traffic junction, the man came down of his car angry as if he's gonna fight, the lady quickly turn lane and went into an estate... the guy chase us... soon we lost sight of him. in the end, i was late for work...

it was not a pleasant way to start the morning. i thought to myself...why do people get angry over the few minutes of wait at traffic junction? and why must people be nasty by blocking the path of the other car?

well... good time to reflect what kind of a person I am too. What will be my reaction? Rash? Nasty? Just want things my way?

James1:19
My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.

Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

is love the answer to everything? would you allow God's love to fill your heart today? God sent Abraham, David, Isaiah, etc etc to tell us of His love. Last of all He sent His only son JESUS to demonstrate His love for us...

receive God's love today...

Isaiah 54:10
Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you.

Feed my sheep

2007-03-25T23:07:00.000+08:00

A mum's concern is to feed her children...
A shepard's concern is to feed his sheep...
Any idea what is the concern of the children and sheep?

When I was a young christian, the thought of feeding another sheep hardly crossed my mind. My only thought was... 'feed me, feed me!' My hunger was just to be loved and desire to be comfortable being cared for by others... well little did I realise that my heart was just so empty and there's never enough love although i always run to the altar call to receive...

Why is it so, Lord? I asked. The Lord showed me that my life was like stagnant water. Keep receiving it till its full but its simply stagnant. Stagnant water is just the same every day...no waves, no excitement and hardly any passion...perhaps weeds will grow and dirt start to clog up.

No, Lord. I want life! I want that passionate heartbeat! I cling on to this verse:

John7:38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."

Jesus' message to share with you...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John 21 Jesus Reinstates Peter
15When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?"
"Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."

16Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?"
He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."

17The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you."

18Jesus said, "Feed my sheep. I tell you the truth, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go." 19Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, "Follow me!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Praise God that He gave me the heart to love others. It was not my forte to share gospel. Slowly by the day I learn to become a spiritual mother. I learn how to feed the sheep...my heart especially goes out to those lost sheep. It is the priviledge He gave me. As I receive from Him, I freely give...and I know the stagnant water in me is now flowing with streams of living water so that others might know God.

Pastor intends to send out 5000 in August. Am excited about it. Are you? May be you feel tired, or half-hearted about it... perhaps you even doubt and object the idea. Well do seek God and ask Him, "God, what is your will for my life? How can I be used for the furtherance of your kingdom?"

If your answer is like Isaiah..."Here I am, send me"... The Lord says, "How beautiful are the feet of those who brings good news!" (Rom 10:15)
