The 7 Bowls

2009-10-03T01:15:00.001+08:00

Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.” Revelation 16:1

The book of Revelation is really a book of “double mention.” The tribulation, the rapture, and the pouring out of God’s wrath are all mentioned twice. In fact, the first 11 chapters of Revelation give you the macro view of the end-times while the next 11 chapters give you the micro view. Revelation 16 is a parallel passage to Revelation 8 and they both describe the pouring out of God’s wrath once the rapture of believers has taken place. Instead of the seven trumpets he saw earlier, the vision John sees now consists of seven bowls:

Bowl #1 (16:2): Judgment will come upon the earth and men will be afflicted with foul and loathsome sores. When you compare this fi rst bowl with the first trumpet, you can understand that the sores will most probably be caused by hail and fi re falling from the sky.

Bowl #2 (16:3): When the second bowl was poured into the sea, it turned into blood. This is exactly what happened with the second trumpet when the “sea became blood” (8:8).

Bowl #3 (16:4): The rivers and springs of water will also become blood and undrinkable. This is exactly what happened with the third trumpet when a third of the waters became bitter (8:10-11).

Bowl #4 (16:8-9): Upon the pouring of the fourth bowl, the heat from the sun scorches the wicked on the earth. Again this ties in with the fourth trumpet (8:12-13).

Bowl #5 (16:10-11): Here we see men cursing God because they are tormented by great pains and sores. In the fifth trumpet, creatures that can fly like locusts and sting like scorpions were released from the bottomless pit. The poison injected by the creatures will render victims incapable of thinking, leaving them in such pain that they will wish they could die but will be unable to plan their own death (9:1-6).

Bowl #6 (16:12-14): Three unclean spirits from Satan, the Antichrist and the False Prophet were released to deceive the kings of the nations to battle at Armageddon. The most disastrous war in human history will explode in the Middle East. The River Euphrates is one of the most important rivers in the world because the history of the world as we know it began at this river. Likewise, with the pouring of the sixth bowl, the history of the world will also end at this river. Again, this coincides with the judgment brought by the sixth trumpet in Revelation 9:13-21.

Bowl #7 (16:17-21): Like the seventh trumpet, great hailstones will come down from heaven, each weighing a talent (approximately 27 kg). This plague of hail will be so exceedingly great that it will destroy the armies that come against Israel. This ends the Battle of Armageddon and ushers in the millennial kingdom of Christ.

Becoming Whom You Worship

2009-09-28T23:19:00.004+08:00

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands … Those who make them are like them; so is everyone who trusts in them. Psalm 115:4, 8

There are a few reasons why the Bible consistently condemns idolatry:

(1) Idolatry is the worship of subtle goals of man. Idolatry begins when people reject what they know about God. Instead of looking to Him as the Creator and Sustainer of life, they see themselves as the center of the universe. They soon invent “gods” that are convenient projections of their own selfish plans and decrees. These gods may be wooden figures, but they are often goals or things idolaters pursue such as prosperity, power or pleasure. They express their greed for money by the worship of a money god. They express their lust for pleasure by worshiping a god of sensuality. They express their insecurity toward the future by the worship of a god of protection or good-luck.

(2) Idolatry is the worship of the things God made rather than God Himself. Idols reduce the living God to lifeless images. “They have mouths, but they do not speak; eyes they have, but they do not see; they have ears, but they do not hear; noses they have, but they do not smell; they have hands, but they do not handle; feet they have, but they do not walk; nor do they mutter through their throat” (Ps. 115:5-7).

(3) Idolatry is part of an overall rejection of God. In Romans 1:18-32, Paul clearly portrays the inevitable downward spiral into sin. First people reject God. Next, they make up their own ideas of what a god should be and do. They then fall into sin—sexual sin, greed, hatred, envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice, gossip. Finally, they grow to hate God and encourage others to do so. Once caught in the downward spiral, no one can pull himself or herself out without Jesus’ help.

(4) Idolatry opens doors for demons. Idols may be carved from dead wood, silver and gold, but something more sinister lurks behind them. Paul warns, “What I am saying is that those who offer food to these idols are united together in sacrifi cing to demons, certainly not to God. And I don’t want any of you to be partners with demons when you eat the same food, along with the heathen, that has been offered to these idols” (1 Cor. 10:20, TLB). Satan hides behind the idols to receive the worship of the idolaters, opening doors for demonic oppression.

(5) Idolatry transforms a person into the image of the idols they worship. Although idols have no power, those who worship them take upon themselves the characteristics of the demons behind the idols. For this reason, the Lord is seeking believers who will worship Him in Spirit and in truth. Because you will become more like Him as you worship Him. You will be transformed from glory to glory into His very likeness

Praying in the Spirit

2009-09-22T18:13:00.003+08:00

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit. Jude 20
Jude encouraged the Christians to build themselves up in the faith by praying in the Holy Spirit. Praying in the Holy Spirit means praying in tongues and speaking the words that the Holy Spirit gives to your spirit-man (1 Cor. 14:2, 14-15). Like an athlete who builds muscles through regular disciplined workout in the gym, a Christian can grow strong spiritually through praying in the Spirit.
What happens when you pray in tongues?
(1) Your prayer becomes Spirit-empowered. “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God” (Rom. 8:26-27). All believers without the Holy Spirit have the weakness of not knowing how to pray in accordance with God’s will. But the Holy Spirit helps us by praying and interceding through us. This kind of prayer is far above the level of the believer’s own natural understanding or ability.
(2) You refresh yourself. “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord” (Eph. 5:18-19). Paul advocated the believers to be constantly fi lled with the Spirit, praying and singing in the Spirit. Praying in tongues can revive that dryness and thirst of the spirit. “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water” (John 7:37-38).
(3) You become spiritually active for battle. Ephesians 6 tells us that the only way to withstand in the evil day is for every Christian to put on the armor of God. For the armor of God to be complete and effective, Paul said that we are to pray always in the spirit. “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints” (Eph. 6:17-18). To live a life of victory, it is inevitable for a believer to discipline and train himself to pray always in the spirit. Take sometime now to focus on the Lord and pray in the spirit.

Overcoming Faith

2009-09-10T01:40:00.001+08:00

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world our faith. 1 John 5:4

Whatever is born of God overcomes the world. We overcome the world by our faith in Jesus. Typically, whenever we go through trials, diffi culties, troubles or pressure, it is easy for us to be worried, sad and discouraged. But pressure and problems are really a part of our lives. So instead of being a victim of circumstances, let us be overcomers! We overcome by changing the way we look at our problems. The mindset of an overcomer is this: I am not a victim; I am going to benefi t from this trial! In 1 Peter 4:14, “blessed” means fortunate, well-off, supremely blessed! In the great Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught us in Matthew 5:10-12 to count it a blessing when we are tried for our faith in God. “Be exceedingly glad” means to rejoice greatly; to jump for joy! It is to behave as if the best thing in the world just happened to you!

What tries us? Very often, the trial begins with a promise—a promise from God! Psalm 105:19 says, “Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him.” Joseph was given a dream of greatness but he did not immediately receive the promise. He suffered greatly and had to spend time in a dungeon while waiting for its fulfi llment. How should our attitude be when we go through trials?

(1) We should rejoice when we go through trials. Count it all joy and praise God. Don’t sin against God with your mouth. Don’t complain or murmur. Look at Job’s testimony when the worst calamity came upon him. “In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong. In all this Job did not sin with his lips” (Job 1:22; 2:10).

(2) We need to have endurance when we go through trials. Don’t cast away your confidence, which is your faith, because there will be a great reward (Heb. 10:32-38)! There may come a time when you think you cannot take it anymore. You are about to give up! You want to call it quits! No! You must hang in there; you can develop endurance and perseverance when you look to the reward. God has a reward waiting for those who overcome!

(3) We know that our character is developed when we go through trials. Jesus learned obedience through the things He suffered (5:8-9). Likewise, we mature in our character through trials (James 1:2-4). We tend to question God when we go through trials because we cannot see the end purpose while we are in it. But the fact is God is maturing us.

Remember what the apostle Paul said in Romans 5:3-4, “we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.” God is more interested in developing our character than our comfort. It is through tribulation that our character is proven.

No Substitute For God

2009-07-13T17:54:00.000+08:00

For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God. 1 Thessalonians 1:9

What is an idol? An idol is anything that takes the focus off God. An idol may not be limited to a religious object found in a pagan temple, an idol is anything that you value more than God Himself. Many people park their “idols” in their garages. Some dock their “idols” at marina centers. Others put their “idols” in their safe deposit boxes.

During the times of the Bible, there were three primary idols the ancient people worshiped: Baal, which is the god of sex; Mammon, which is the god of money; and Molech, which is the god of violence. While we may no longer venerate statues of Baal, Mammon and Molech in our bedrooms, isn’t it ironical that we still pay millions of dollars going to the cinemas to watch enactments of sex, greed and violence?

There are three dangers of having idols in your life:

(1) Idols will damage you. Idolatry weakens you morally. At least 10 times in the Bible, idolatry is linked to sexual immorality, fornication and lust. It is really spiritual adultery. Romans 1:22-23 says, “Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.” Isn’t that silly? Worshiping the created rather than the Creator Himself? Unfortunately, idolatry messes up the moral compass of a person. You end up worshiping money instead of the God who owns all the money. You worship power instead of the God who is all powerful. You worship knowledge instead of the God of all knowledge.

(2) Idols will deceive and dominate you. Idolatry opens you up to demonic deception. It can’t help you. Instead, it makes you dull-hearted toward God and foolish in your daily living (Jer. 10:8). Life becomes worthless and meaningless. Anything you love more than God often ends up as an obsession or addiction. It will eventually ruin your life.

(3) Idols will deform you. Instead of conforming to the beautiful nature of God Himself, you will inevitably end up like the idols you worship. Psalm 135:15-18 says, “The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but they do not speak;
eyes they have, but they do not see; they have ears, but they do not hear; nor is there any breath in their mouths. Those who make them are like them; so is everyone who trusts in them.” Whatever and whoever you worship, you will end up exactly like that object of your affection. You serve a “living and true God.” Don’t settle for anything less. Don’t substitute anything false for the real. Love and worship God alone.

Supreme Motivation

2009-07-09T00:42:00.000+08:00

That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death. Philippians 3:10

Paul had an impressive resume. He was circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin. He studied in Jerusalem, trained under the feet of Gamaliel (Acts 22:3). He was a zealous Pharisee. Concerning the righteousness which is in the law, he was totally blameless. Yet for all his scholastic achievements and renown as a “Hebrew of Hebrews,” Paul would gladly throw them all away so that he can put his trust and hope in Christ alone. To him, all worldly accolades are like worthless “dung” compared with the priceless gain of knowing Jesus Christ.

Now that Paul knew Jesus, what was his supreme motivation in life? Preaching? Ministry? Church-planting? Missionary journeys? Presiding over large congregations? Writing epistles? No, none of these.

To Paul, his supreme motivation in life was to know Christ. The word “know” in the Greek is not knowledge through information or learning. It is knowledge through experience. Paul’s greatest desire in life was to experience God on a daily basis, having encounters after encounters with Christ. He wanted to encounter God in the power of His resurrection. Because God dwells in the realm of the supernatural, Paul loved the supernatural. He constantly said, “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God” (1 Cor. 2:4-5).

Apart from encountering God in His power, Paul longed to experience Him in the “fellowship of His sufferings.” The word “sufferings” is in the plural, meaning that it is not a direct reference to the cross. There are many sufferings a believer will have to go through for the cause of Christ and His kingdom. Notice too that suffering is a fellowship. It is a privilege reserved for genuine disciples whom the Lord would count worthy (Acts 5:41). Paul says, “I am to be a part of that group of people.”

The purpose of trials and testings is so that ultimately, we can learn obedience. Referring to Jesus, Hebrews 5:8 says, “Though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.” Obedience, therefore, is not automatic. It has to be learned. Paul wants to be a part of the fellowship of all those who learned obedience and absolute dependence upon God.

The Power Of Your Testimony

2009-07-04T23:52:00.001+08:00

“Brethren and fathers, hear my defense before you now.” Acts 22:1

The word of our testimony is a very powerful spiritual weapon when we engage in soul-winning (Rev. 12:10-11). A faith-filled, positive, well-organized testimony is a very effective destroyer of fear, doubt and apathy. A testimony is especially powerful when it is inspired by the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8). Jesus encourages us that the most dire situation may “turn out for you as an occasion for testimony. Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer; for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist” (Luke 21:13-15).

Principle #1 in sharing your testimony: Identify and endear yourself to your listener. In Acts 21-22, Paul was brought before a hostile crowd. He didn’t try to act religious or be superspiritual. He simply used wisdom to gain a chance to witness for the Lord. He appealed to the fact that he was a citizen of the Roman Empire and as such, he had a constitutional right to speak freely as a citizen (21:37-39). To win their attention, Paul spoke to the predominantly Jewish crowd in the Hebrew language instead of Greek. By doing that, he identifi ed himself as a fellow Jew and endeared himself to the people (21:40-22:2).

Principle #2: Don’t preach down at others; be persuasive by talking politely to them. Paul didn’t preach hard at the people in a condescending tone. Instead, he chose to simply share his personal life testimony (22:3).

Principle #3: Briefly tell how you were like before you accepted Christ. Paul shared about his past as an ultra-zealous Pharisee, preoccupied with jailing Christians and persecuting many believers to death (22:4-5).

Principle #4: Briefly tell how you received Christ. Paul then shared how he met Jesus on the way to Damascus (22:6-16). All throughout his testimony, he didn’t use highsounding theological jargons. He spoke so simply that even the most hardened sinner could understand him.

Principle #5: Briefly tell how you are like after you accepted Christ (22:17-21). Notice that all throughout the sharing, Paul kept his testimony very short and brief. A good testimony should not last more than five minutes. Paul used this simple testimony format very effectively to reach out to many sinners-to government officials and even King Agrippa. Agrippa was so moved by his sharing that he told Paul: “You almost persuade me to become a Christian” (26:28). Learn to be a good witness for Christ by always being ready to share your testimony.

Needed On Earth

2009-07-04T01:32:00.001+08:00

For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain … For I am hard-pressed between the two, having
a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you. Philippians 1:21, 23-24

Becoming a Christian is about the easiest thing a person can do. All the work has already been done! Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sin. He rose from the dead to give us life. He ascended back to heaven to make intercession for us before the Father. He sent the Holy Spirit to draw sinners to Himself. And when sinners do come, He gladly receives them and saves them by His grace. All the sinner has to do is believe (John 3:16). However, after we are saved, then the struggles begin!

Being spiritually alive now, we become keenly aware that we are living in a sinful world. We are surrounded by temptations and trials on a daily basis. At the same time, God expects us to be busy working for His glory. Is it worth being a believer? Yes, it is the best life possible! But at times, we can get so tired of all the struggles with temptation and Satan that we just want to go “home.”

Paul often felt that way. He felt “hard-pressed between the two.” He felt like a prisoner in this world. His body is here, but his heart is elsewhere. He feels the pressure of this life and longs for the freedom of heaven. Paul was getting “homesick.” But while Paul longed for heaven, he knew he was needed here on earth. Jesus needs workers in the harvest (4:35). Here are some truths that you need to come to terms with:

(1) God saved you to work (Eph. 2:10).

(2) You have a “debt” to repay (Rom. 1:14-15).

(3) You will be rewarded according to your labor (1 Cor. 3:13-15). We have been given the greatest message and mission that the world has ever known. It is our duty to take it to a world that is perishing in sin. We have a duty to serve the Lord with all our hearts while there is breath in our bodies. We owe it to Jesus, we owe it to the lost, we owe it to the saints of God and we owe it to the Church. Paul knew that while he lived, others could see Jesus living in and through him (Phil. 1:21). However, he knew that if he were to die, then he would be the better for it. To Paul, he was a winner either way.

Personal Responsiblity Can't Be Delegated

2009-06-12T01:07:00.007+08:00

" the next day Moses said to the people, You have sinned a great sin. And now i will go up to the Lord; perhaps i can make atonement for your sin.

So Moses returned to the Lord, and said, Oh, these people have sinned a great sin and have made them selves gods of gold!

Yet now, if you will forgive their sin---and if not, blot me, i pray You, out if Your book which You have written! "
Exodus 32: 30-32

The Israelite did not want to take responsibility for anything. Moses did praying; he sought God for them, he even did their repenting when they got themselves in trouble.

A baby has no responsibility at all, but as the child grows up, he is expected to take more and more responsibility. One of the main roles of parent is to teach their children to accept responsibility. God desires to teach His children the same thing.

Lift Up Your Eyes and Look

2009-06-11T02:51:00.003+08:00

" The Lord said to Abram after Lot had left him,lift up now your eyes and look from the place where you are,northward and southward and eastward and westward; for all the land which you see i will give you and to your posterity forever." - Genesis 13: 14-15

This passage clearly reveals that even though Abraham found himself in less-desirable circumstances after his seperation from his nephew, God wanted him to 'look up' from the place where he was the place where He wanted to take him.

Abraham had a good attitude about his situation,and as a result the devil could not keep the blessing of God from him. God gave him even more possessions than he had enjoyed before the seperation, and blessed him mightily in every way.

I encourage you to take a positive look at the possibilities of the future and begin to 'calleth those thigns which be not as though they were' (Rom 4:17). Think and speak about your future in a positive way, according to what God has placed in your heart, and not according to what you have seen in the past or are seeing even now in the present. =)

Our Thought

2009-02-07T11:38:00.002+08:00

" Think about what you're thinking about"
-your mind play and important role in your victory line up our thinking with God and His Word.
-we are instructed to think on good things, things that will built us up and not tear us down.
-our thoughts certainly affect our attitudes and moods. When a person full of wrong thoughts he is miserable and usually ends up making others miserable also.

2008-03-05T11:17:00.002+08:00

hmm...long time didn't update my blog dy.

just share what i have received last night. A strong thought in my mind last night when i pray to God. I dn't know what shout i pray for...so i just asking God..."God u guide me...what You want to tell me..."

Allot of times when we talk to God...we will questioning God..if not questioning God..then that will be asking God for something...thats the most comment one. We asking God ...' God can You help me to do this to do that?God i want this i want that..." is about " I want! I want" But..do we ever asking God.." God what can i do for You, God what You want me to do?" If do...how many time?izit more than u asking God things?...

Allot of time we do complain about our friends...people that surrounding us...complain that..why he/she like that....what we complain mostly is about feeling..." did he/she care about my feeling?" When i think of that cases... my mind 'tink!"... " did You care about God's feeling"?"did u care about Him?what He want...?

He using His image to created us...so...that's mean...we are the same...have feeling too...The reason God put this in my mind is ..He want us to draw near with Him..so that He can tell us more things.

Moses is a ordinary person...before God ask him to do things...no no..should I said...before he obey God 's will.God want him to do the greatest things...but before that, he won't know that what God want him to do will be a greatest things.Let said you a moses at that time...God want you to do those things, will u obey?is not easy...moses have to left his family...the love one...his ordinary life style...and choose to do what God want him to do...he knew that it will be difficult...but he still obey...

When he obey...always he asking God..what can he do for God...what God want him to do....God like his childlike heart...faithful heart and obey.Moses is the person that God said that...He and he like a friend, that can talk to God so close so close...like a best friend.

Hmmm..always remember what God want...what He care for...surely God will delight our heart...and this will course us draw near to Him more, at the same time He will tell us more things many many thing.

Another thing is...always search our heart...always...anytime anywhere.

起初的爱

2008-01-26T13:05:00.000+08:00

许多最好最美的事　总是出现在第一次

体谅寬容真情和恩慈　是否都已隨风逝

心里害怕再受傷害　不敢期许放胆去愛

可是幸福属于小孩他不知悲哀　从何來

一旦失去爱　有什么能存在

再不会滿足开怀　把心都藏起來

你是我至爱　我不再　費疑猜

你的爱既然不改　收拾起傷悲　滿怀期待

再回到　最初的爱

收拾起伤悲　滿怀期待　再回到　最初的爱

Little By Little

2008-01-24T10:18:00.000+08:00

'And the Lord your God will clear out those nations before you, little by little; you may not consume them quickly, lest the beats of field increase among you. Deuteronomy 7:22 '

The renewing of your mind will take place little by little, so don't be discouraged if progress seems slow.

Just before they entered the Promised Land, the Lord told the Israelites that He would drive out their enemies before them little by little, lest " the beats of the field' increase among them.

I believe pride is the 'beast' that will consume us if we receive too much freedom too quickly. Is is actually better to be set at liberty in one area at a time. That way, we appreciate out freedom more; we realize it is truly a gift from God and not something we can make happen in our own strength.

' and after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, Who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be. establish abd ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you. 1 petter 5:10'

Why do we need to suffer " a little while'? I believe that from the time we actually realize we have a problem until Jesus delivers us, we endure a type of suffering, but we rejoice even more when freedom comes.When we try to do something on our own, fail and then realize that we must wait in Him, our hearts overflow with thanksgiving and praise as He rises up and does what we cannot do ourselves.

~Who Am I ?~

2007-12-05T19:13:00.000+08:00

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

My name is Nick Vujicic and I give God the Glory for how He has used my testimony to touch thousands of hearts around the world! I was born without limbs and doctors have no medical explanation for this birth "defect". As you can imagine, I was faced with many challenges and obstacles.

"Consider it pure joy, my Brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds."

.... To count our hurt, pain and struggle as nothing but pure joy? As my parents were Christians, and my Dad even a Pastor of our church, they knew that verse very well. However, on the morning of the 4th of December 1982 in Melbourne ( Australia ), the last two words on the minds of my parents was "Praise God!". Their firstborn son had been born without limbs! There were no warnings or time to prepare themselves for it. The doctors we shocked and had no answers at all! There is still no medical reason why this had happened and Nick now has a Brother and Sister who were born just like any other baby.

The whole church mourned over my birth and my parents were absolutely devastated. Everyone asked, "if God is a God of Love, then why would God let something this bad happen to not just anyone, but dedicated Christians?" My Dad thought I wouldn't survive for very long, but tests proved that I was a healthy baby boy just with a few limbs missing.

"And we know that in all things God works for the best for those who love Him." That verse spoke to my heart and convicted me to the point where that I know that there is no such thing as luck, chance or coincidence that these "bad" things happen in our life.

I had complete peace knowing that God won't let anything happen to us in our life unless He has a good purpose for it all. I completely gave my life to Christ at the age of fifteen after reading John 9. Jesus said that the reason the man was born blind was "so that the works of God may be revealed through Him." I truly believed that God would heal me so I could be a great testimony of His Awesome Power. Later on I was given the wisdom to understand that if we pray for something, if it's God's will, it'll happen in His time. If it's not God's will for it to happen, then I know that He has something better.

I now see that Glory revealed as He is using me just the way I am and in ways others can't be used.
I am now twenty-three years old and have completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting. I am also a motivational speaker and love to go out and share my story and testimony wherever opportunities become available. I have developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics that challenge today's teenagers. I am also a speaker in the corporate sector.

I have a passion for reaching out to youth and keep myself available for whatever God wants me to do, and wherever He leads, I follow.

I have many dreams and goals that I have set to achieve in my life. I want to become the best witness I can be of God's Love and Hope , to become an international inspirational speaker and be used as a vessel in both Christian and non-Christian venues. I want to become financially independent by the age of 25, through real estate investments, to modify a car for me to drive and to be interviewed and share my story on the " Oprah Winfrey Show "! Writing several best-selling books has been one of my dreams and I hope to finish writing my first by the end of the year. It will be called "No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!"
I believe that if you have the desire and passion to do something, and if it's God's will, you will achieve it in good time. As humans, we continually put limits on ourselves for no reason at all! What's worse is putting limits on God who can do all things. We put God in a "box". The awesome thing about the Power of God, is that if we want to do something for God, instead of focusing on our capability, concentrate on our availability for we know that it is God through us and we can't do anything without Him. Once we make ourselves available for God's work, guess whose capabilities we rely on? God's!

Prayer~*

"Heavenly Father,

We come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance.

We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.

We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.

We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.

We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare

We have killed our unborn and called it choice.

We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.

We have abused power and called it politics.

We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.

We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from Every sin and set us free.

Amen!"

"If you don't Stand for something, you will fall for everything."

Come as You are~

2007-11-04T09:42:00.000+08:00

You are the reason
For blue in the sky
Yes, you are the reason why
Snow covers winter
And melts into spring
And rivers meet the sea

God is here for you
And you were made for him
He'll give you more of everything
Cause he has always loved you
His promises are true, so true
If you

Come as you are
Dont change a thing
Open your heart
He'll walk right in
Come as you are
No alibis
His love for you
Will never die

There is a heaven
Open your eyes
And there you have no disguise
He'll never leave you
No need to hide
Hes always by your side

If you just believe
There is a way you'll see
Its just one step to eternity
And he will always love you
This promise will be true, so true
"If you"

Feel thristy?---drink!

2007-09-16T23:58:00.001+08:00

Don't you need a drink?Don't you long to flush out the fear, anxiety,and guilt? You can! Note the audience of his invitation. 'if anyone thirsts ,let him come to Me and drink"(v37). Are you 'anyone'?if so,then step up to the well.You qualify for His water.

All age are welcome.Both genders invited. No race excluded.All welcome.You don't have to be rich to drink, religious to drink, successful to drink, you simply need the instructions on what --or better,who--to drink.Him .In order for Jesus to do what water does, you must let him penetrate your heart.Deep ,deep inside!!!

Let Christ be the water of your soul!!!

Timely advice is not merely helpful; it is beautiful.It is not merely beautiful; it is essential.

Proverbs 25:11 Timely advice is as lovely as golden apples in a silver basket.

Seek advice from those who are faithful, godly, honest, and trustworthy. They can be counted on to give you counsel that comes from God's word.

This Sunday morning, i was very shock of what the pastor teach us. He teach about "Covering of High Praise". God spoke to me allot, and from the massage, i learned something, that is how to go into the secret place, and what the secret place actually are. Beside that, the massage also an assurance of what God touched my heart when i'm doing my quite time with Him.

I bought a book call "come thirsty" and i ask Michelle to bring it on that Sunday morning, so finally i get it.was so happy.hehehe. :P Then when i'm back i read some of the pages...wau! is was great...hahaha..then i went to vision day in the evening. Wau!!! something happened again...and is shock me again....cos in that vision day... Ps give us to watch a video..and the massage that bring out is about 'thirsty'...i'm like telling myself ....wah!!! " got so chunn d meh" hahahah...but it is!

I think God really want to do some thing different in me...and i have to prepare my heart. I give thanks God still Love me...i'm really touch by Him.

When i'm the way back....my mind was thinking, wau! our God is just like the movie director. He direct our movie (life)...inside the movie....got beginning, climax, emo, ending.... so our life is also like that too. imagine if the actor didn't follow what the director ask for...then the movie will become....uhhhh.....is a bad, horrible, and messy movie. So, want to have a good movie that can influence...yea....we have to listen to what the director(God) said.

He know that --------

2007-09-01T11:03:00.000+08:00

Yesterday night i felt very lonely in my heart, but i don't know I'm lonely because of what, so is just felt lonely.But when i wake up the next day i feel not lonely anymore.

He spoke to me again~ ( more clear about the verses that He gave me)
He telling me that, now is time for me to rely more on the Holy Spirit. Time to work more with the Holy Spirit. Maybe i might have felt like i got no more leader to always be there for me. God is doing that... Not that the leader is not there, he is. But I'm feel like he is not there.

Beside that i start to realize that....allot of time, I my self don't know what is going on in me, even some time not sure what is going on...but He know it very very well.He told me very clear. Thanks God, thanks.....

16:4: I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.
16:5: "Now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'

John 16:5

But now I go my way to him that sent me�
These words seem to belong to (John 16:4) , and to contain a reason why Christ spoke of the trials and afflictions of his disciples now, because he was going away from them to his Father; when as they would be at the head of his affairs in this world, so they would the more become the butt of the rage of men:

and none of you asketh me, whither goest thou?
Peter indeed asked the question, (John 13:36) ; but his meaning was, what part of the country he was going to? what private and inaccessible place he was about to betake himself to? he had no notion of his going out of the world, or to heaven to his Father, and therefore inquired nothing about it; and when Christ had suggested to his disciples, that he was going to his Father's house, to prepare mansions for them, they did not seem to understand him, (John 14:2,3,5) . Nor did they ask what he meant by his Father's house, or what those mansions were he was going to prepare; and what the glory was he was going to possess for himself and them; they ask neither about the place he was going to, nor the way to it, nor the happiness to be enjoyed there.

~ teaching me to look deeper into spiritual realm

~ to see the meaning behind the statement

hmmmmm come to KL study for song long..ermmm almost 1 year...finally i meet a friend who i can share, i can really talk with. I realized that 'friends' is become part of my life and choosing a good friend is a very hard thing for me, because 'human heart' will change easily. I really scare... but i believe, if i follow God properly, every things will go smoothly, even though there may some problems, but is just a tast from HIM, to train me to become more stronger.

Give Thanks
