Father

Last Sunday was the Miracle Seed Sunday. Today, church told us how much was collected for Daddy God’s new house, 1 North. It is S$18mil+, Pastor Prince is very happy with the result. Today, Lord send Darlene Zschech to lead the worshipping, it was a powerful worship session for me. I got distractions during the worshipping, took me quite a while to go into focus and communicated with Lord.

When I stayed in connection with Lord, His power came onto my hands. First He put power through my right hand and then the left hand. Lord said this is to get me ready for His healing job. ;)

This afternoon, I watched ‘The Passion of The Christ’ again and Lord spoke to me during the session. He told me that the 10 commandments were nailed to the Cross (Lord’s palms), and there is no more sin to judge the people. He also said that my job is to free people bounced by sin, to heal them. Praise the Lord!

It wasn’t easy for Father God to come to earth, to become God the Son and to be a Son of Man, so that He could carry our sins for us. As a Man, He had to give up His Godly power. He operated based on the annointing of the Holy Spirit in full, with all the gifts. Like a man, it was not easy for Him to accept all our sins and to accept our judgments that came with it. Lord Jesus flowed with the Holy Spirit and let Lord the Father led Him to do the Will, to be judged and to die for our sins. Praise the Lord!

What He, Lord Jesus, gone through, was more than when we go/ went through our trial in daily life. At least, we need not deal with death. In the midst of suffering, He knew that He will set us, man, free from sins, and free us from hell and open the way to heaven. It was never an easy job for Lord Jesus, but He did it anyway, so that in our daily struggle, we could find comfort with Him.

Lord Jesus would never leave us alone to face our big mountain. He is always faithful and always there for us. We need to look to Him for answer and not to worry nor afraid. It’s like a game for us, the son of God, to play. Whatever the mountains are, Lord provided us all the weapons to talk about Jesus to our struggle.

I usually plea the blood of Jesus, manifested the Lord’s hand, give command in Jesus Name and using bible scripture as support, talks about what Lord Jesus had accomplished at the Cross and/or pray in the spirit. At times I felt I could not handle it anymore, I will tell Daddy God to take it over, since I am nothing and not for me to handle and He is everything and could handle it. Lord always answers my prayer. Hallelujah!!!

Today Pastor Prince talked about the Book of Ecclesiastes. I was telling Su yesterday that Daddy God is very good, He knows that in this world, what are the things we are looking for and want. He blessed King Solomon with all that is under the Sun, he could get it. You might think how nice it could be if you have some portion of his wealth or wisdom. Lord shows us through him that all that we are running for, it’s only vanity. King Solomon was feeling empty despite having all that he wants, satisfying all the ‘I’ or ‘self’ or ‘me’ needs.

Lord shows us that we won’t have peace or joyful when we chase after power and material needs. He, the Father, knows our needs and our hearts. Whatever we need under the sun, He could satisfy. You might wonder why you are not getting it then.

From my blog a few post ago, Daddy God is seeking for true worshippers, who worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth, from a Psalm 34The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry’.

How you position yourself in the path of the Lord to receive His blessings? Psalm 23 says that ‘surely goodness and love will follow (chase) me all the days of my life’. John 10:4 says that ‘When he (Jesus) has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep (son of God) follow him because they know his voice’.

So, how to position yourself? Keep on learning about Jesus from the bible, listen to sermons that exalt on Jesus, the more you know about Lord Jesus, the more you will know how righteous you are in Him. The more you know about Lord Jesus, the more you will be flowing in the Love of the Lord. Your mouth will automatically open to praise and worship Him.

Don’t worry nor afraid daily. Usually, when I tell someone not to worry, they usually say they are not worrying. However, if you are really in the Peace of Lord, your mind will not thinking about certain concern in your life at all. Your trust will be with the Lord that He will surely bless and protects you. This is applicable to blessing too. If you keep thinking of the area that you want Lord’s blessing, it means your focus is on the blessing and not on Lord, which means move out of the position of blessing.

Ending this post with Psalm 134:

Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, who minister by night in the house of the Lord.

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord.

May the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Zion.

Amen!

The Grace of the Lord

Recently Lord led me to listen to Pastor Prince Sermon, 23/3/2008 ‘How understanding the Tabernacle of David can Set You Free before God’. As I was listening, Lord showed me a vision of the image of the Israeli settled in a cross shape with the tabernacle of Moses in the middle of the cross that Pastor has showed us in church.

I remembered the cross shape settlement of the different tribes around the tabernacle and Pastor was saying that unknowing to the Israeli people, they are showing the Grace of Lord through the cross. Balak had taken Balaam to the mountain nearby the Israeli people and had told him to curse them. It was shown in Number 22-24. Pastor said because the Grace of the Lord was with them, Balaam could not curse the Israeli people at all, in fact, he blessed them. Praise the Lord.

This evening, hubby passed me a letter, and as it was not the usual letter I used to receive, I wondered who it was from. As I was busy with my cooking, I placed the letter on the dinning table and didn’t bother about it. After dinner, hubby took the letter to me again.

Nowadays, most of the times, I don’t open my usual letters as I know what was written inside. Out of curiosity, I opened this letter. It was from the church, there was a blessed birthday card for me. There was a golden cross on the front page of the card. In it, Pastor Matthew wrote this: ‘Remember Num 23:19-20’

Num 23:19-20

God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoke, and shall he not make it good?

Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

As I was digesting this message that Lord has for me, Lord impressed me that it was about my baby. Recently, I did wonder for a moment the reality of the whole issue. It was not easy to accept this as the truth that I am carrying my baby when in the natural, for the previous few months, my period still came as norm. I had a slight stain on Sunday that I thought the period is coming, but it is cleared since then. This lead to me thinking if the baby is still there and is it in the holding area or in the womb. Recently, I also experience some pain in that area. But it lasted a short moment only and now it is peace again.

Lord led me to recall what He had told me from the start of this baby journey, about the temporary holding area that Daddy God planned for me. As I think back, my trust on His deliverance grow stronger again. This message on ‘Remember Num 23:19-20’ reassured me of it reality. Praise the Lord!

Earlier today, I read in a moms’ forum about someone’s dad had blood clot in his brain. He was in coma for 3 days and had now wakened up, but he could not remember anything nor recognize his family members. As I read about this man, I am so grateful to Lord for blessing my dad when he was alive.

If you remember my previous post during Chinese New Year time, my dad’s tumor was bleeding too. Doctor had told us that he would get into coma and then died as the tumor grew. Praise the Lord, even at dad’s last moment, Lord did not neglect him. He blessed dad to be able to eat and to sit up. Dad was able to recognize and responded to us too. He was in his alertness till the last day. Then he suffered some hard breathing as his body was shutting down. Even so, he was with much Grace, he did not lost his consciousness and could talk to us using his eyes till the very last moment of his life.

Lord had wanted him to live and not die. Too bad dad did not want to turn to Lord. Even so, Lord was still there with him. Now that he is in heaven and has seen Daddy God, he is reading bible and has Daddy God close to him.

Lord Jesus, thank You for greatly blessed my dad even though his heart was not with you. By Your Grace, you open a window moment one Sunday in December 2007 so that dad could receive you into his life. You did that so that You could bless dad greatly. Praise You for Your merciful heart and Great Grace pouring out from You at the Cross.

Lord Jesus, thank You for willingly died at the cross for me and my family members. By Your Stripes, all my family members’ health will be strong and healthy, like the energy of the ox that You have blessed the Israeli people in the wilderness. Lord Jesus, by Your shedding of Blood at the Cross, I thank You that myself and my family members sins, past, present and future, are forgiven. I pray in Jesus Almighty Name, Amen!

The Blessing of the Lord III

Isn’t it amazing, among the stars in the galaxy, earth is just a small planet that goes around the sun, which is also one of the smaller star. All these are on the right palm of Lord Jesus. It so amazing that Lord would take such a small planet to house His people. It’s even more amazing that He came on earth to die as Man, so that we could receive His blessings. It’s even very amazing that He would cares for me, just one of the millions of people on this planet earth. Praise the Lord!

Yesterday morning, I saw that the sky was a bit grey, and decided to bring my umbrella as I get Jc ready for school. She rode her scooter all the way, the weather was fine. It was later that I realised Lord created this window of no rain for Jc to ride her scooter to school. Another mum I met outside the school told me that it was raining when she came. When I reached home, the rain started pouring again. Praise the Lord!

Tuesday is a long day for me. Usually, after her school, Jc only have 1.25 hour to eat her lunch and shower, then we have to go off to her Chinese class, which is 35mins by train. Yesterday, Jc had a tummy ache and took up another 15mins of her traveling time. I decided to take a cab and prayed to Lord to send a cab to me the moment I walked to the main road.

Praise the Lord, the cab came moments later. Lord blessed me with green lights and enough space for the taxi to get ahead of the slow moving vehicles. Reaching the enrichment school, I saw the lift was at 3rd floor, and in my heart, I wishing it was coming down. The enrichment centre is on the 4th floor. Haha…the lift did come down, to the surprise of those in it, who were going to the 4th floor! Lord brought that lift down from 3rd floor just to take us up. While those, who were in the lift, were puzzled, I felt sweetness from the Lord blessing. Hallelujah!

Jc’s shampoo was running out. I did hope in my mind that it will be on offer in the department store. I am also hopping that the pizza cheese offer from last week would still be on. Praise the Lord, when I went Cold Storage to check it out, they are on offer!!!

Hubby was telling me in the morning that he was likely to have a gathering that evening. His colleague used to go socializing nightly that now his marriage has broken down. I warned hubby from spending too much time in this socializing; his colleague tried to bring him in. Hubby pushed my concern aside. I prayed to Lord that if the gathering is not fruitful to hubby, to remove it. I passed the whole issue to be handled by Lord. Moments later, hubby told me that the gathering was off. Praise the Lord.

Lord blessed hubby to meet us to have dinner together, and shopping together. On the way back, we were talking about my car, the one that Lord is blessing me. Hubby was saying, if I want him to pay for my car’s maintenance, he said the car is to be in his name and he will be the one using it.

I am so comforted when Lord came in a loud voice, to comfort me that not to worry about maintaining the car. He will bless me the car and the money needed to maintain the car. I am so comforted to hear that. Hubby has not wanted me to use his car to practise parking ever since I got my license. He is planning to pass me his car only if I get my blessed car.

However, Lord has other plan. My Daddy is such a wonderful Daddy. *smooches* Long ago, during my 1st 2 driving test, my driving skill wasn’t that good. I was thinking, even I get the BMW 740i, I won’t be able to drive it. That time, I was thinking maybe I let hubby drive it and I drive his smaller Mazda 3SP.

Lord is so precise when it comes to blessing. I realised that He is training me to comfortable level to drive that BMW. That is why my driving lessons; I took the maximum of 57 lessons and 1 long year when half of those learned could pass on 1st test, about 20+ lessons. I read in the moms forum about how others scared of their first year of driving; some even not confident about driving after obtaining their license many years. From all these, I realised that Lord had me practise so much till I so tired of driving so that I could be confident driving and confident driving the big car that He is giving me. Isn’t our Daddy God, my Daddy God, so GOOOD. :D Praise the Lord!

Daddy God, I thank You that You disallow my hubby to bully me into submissive just because he is the one bringing home the bacon. I praise You for loving me so much. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for dying on the Cross and received all my sins and sicknesses. I thank You that I am now the Righteousness of God in Christ and Your Glory and Honor covers me and clothed me everyday. Hallelujah!

Seed and Harvest

Yesterday, was my church Miracle Seed Sunday. Lord had impressed Pastor Prince to hold such a day for Him to bless our seeding to the One North project, Daddy God’s new house. Praise the Lord!

Even though I had seeded my part sometime back, I can’t help wanting to participate in this joyful event of corporate seeding. It was fun to raise my hands with my seeding envelope reaching into the spiritual realm for Daddy God to bless it. I was a bit apprehended to thrush out my hands but I did it in the end.

As I had seeded long ago, Lord is telling me that I need not participate in this one. Just before the service started, I was decided how much cash to put in the envelope, I was deciding on a bigger note but Lord said a small one will do. Praise the Lord, I used to have love of money that I would hold tight to the big note and tithed the smaller one. This time round, the heartache on tithing the bigger note was gone. Lord had removed my love of money. With this, I gladly tithe the bigger note to Him. Praise the Lord!

When Pastor Prince showed our new church on the screen, Lord told me that I will be working there and Su will have her shop there. Praise the Lord!

Lord impressed a lady that had her 6 digits debt cancelled miraculously by the bank to share her story on screen. She told us that she got into this loan for her house problem because of the Asian Financial Crisis some years back. Her property price had fallen very much and she was unable to pay her loan; even with the sales of her house, she still owed the bank 3**,***.** more.

This lady knew that there was no way she could save enough to pay this debt. She could not share it with relatives and friends too; as she didn’t want to stress them with her debts. Instead, she turned to Lord Jesus, she talked to the Lord about the debts and she said weekly, she tithed $1000 to Lord. She said she knew that through seeding and harvest principal of the Lord, this is the only way she could pray for the debts into Lord’s hand and let Him handle it. Lord being faithful when we trusted Him, He helped her to clear records of the debt. The bank could not find the data in their computer system, or in their archive record. In the end, the debt was cancelled by the bank. Praise the Lord!

As I was going church yesterday, Lord told me my car is coming. I will flow in His Peace and let His blessing come through. Daddy God, thanks You for wanting to bless us, Your children so much. Thank You for creating such a way for us to receive the blessing from You. One apple seed will produce an apple tree full of apples and full of seeds in each apple. Praise You for wanting to bless us in abundance!

The Training Ground of The Lord

From this 1+ year of walking with the Lord, as I lean on Him and learn more about Him, each steps are taken with Him leading the way. During the process, I could see His Grace is with me. The only thing I could not see was the result I wanted. As you know, most of us want our desirable result quick, like Pastor said, in instant noodle time. :P

Lord knows what is the best timing for us, He knows when the flower of the lily should be blossom in its most beautiful moment so that we could enjoy its beauty. In his training for my future healing career with Him, as always, He will tell me that I could go heal people. But each time I prayed healing for friends and relatives, I could see some healed some not. As it’s not something I could do, the only way was to keep on trusting the Lord and learning more about Him from sermons and the Bible. As I know Him more and more, Lord comes closer and closer to me till we are both joined as ONE! Hallelujah!!!

Each anointing from Lord, my healing power grows stronger. Each time He revealed to me about Him, He lets me understands more about His way of life. How He would like to operate through me. Till the time He confirmed that I am a healer, I am still being lead fully. Through this walk, I know there is nothing for me to boast about, for really, it’s not me doing the job, but He in me in operation. How to boast on something that is not from me? :D Praise the Lord!!!

I know Lord is almighty and He could bless us instantly. Yet most time, He wants us to go through a learning curve to get us well equipped. I learn this through my car driving. From one, who is ignorance about how a car operates, I obeyed Lord and went for driving lessons. To aim for driving high end cars, I opt for manual car lesson. Beside no clue about cars, hubby said I walked without noticing thing around me, how am I to drive a car with this kind of attitude. But I know my God will surely bless me.

Each lessons, I had to lean on Lord closely to remove my fear and slowly, like a baby, I learn to walk. Upon finished the number of lessons the driving school has set before I could take the test, I thought I am well able to pass and asked Lord to lead me, bless me. He did bless me in the process, however, I failed both driving tests.

The student driving training booklet of 57 lessons, I completed them all. I thought I should pass long ago, yet each failure, I realised I have more knowledge to pick up. With 2 failed tests, I really feel I could do most things and a bit tired of driving.

Lord impressed me to pick up another 10 lessons before my tomorrow test. As things happened at home, this plan was disrupted. However, Lord let me learn from “outside”. :D As I walked on the road and as I sat in hubby’s car and others, Lord let me see clearly those areas that I need to brush up. Recently I booked 5 more lessons, even though the instructors are computer generated, Lord blessed me with 2 instructors to brush up the area of my lacks. The first one came on the 1st 2 times and the other came to fine tune my driving skill the last 3 times.

With each practise, I realised that most time, we thought that we are well able to do certain thing, Lord know best what we lack. He knows that with training, we will be well prepared for His final blessing of success, to do the things we want to do or have. With this driving practise, I can see that now I could comfortably operate a car and can drive without much fear. Just like Pastor Mark Hankins said, I am well able to posses the blessed land. Praise the Lord for each leading in my life. With this driving lesson coming to an end, Lord has already started a new area to lead me. Praise the Lord!!!

Daddy God, like a baby, I don’t know the sky is so wide. You lead me gently and comfort and assured me in each step I take in faith. Thank You that with each step I walk, I will be a step closer to You. Thank You for each tiny but important leading in my life. Praise You for Your Almighty Hand that push me along the way. Praise You for Your Patience with me. You are really slow to anger, but lots of Love, Joy and Cares. Praise You, Lord Jesus, Amen!!!

Update 18 Apr 2008:
Praise the Lord, I passed my 3rd attempt of driving test. With Lord's blessing, a friendly tester and a favourable road condition, I managed to meet the points needed to pass. No major error, praise the Lord!!!

The Grace of God

Praise the Lord! Sunday was an enjoyable day for me. On the way to church, I decided to listen to Pastor Prince Sermon. By the time I reached church, I was full of Lord’s joy. During worship time, I told Lord that it’s nothing of me but full of Him. Lord came greatly in me. Lord let me enjoy the Joy from Heaven; it was a wonderful moment to spend the Sunday morning worshiping Jesus with Lord in me. I was very thankful to Daddy God for such an experience. Hallelujah, Daddy!

Over the weeks, Lord leads me to listen to a few sermons, I listened to Rev Joe Purcell, 28/10/2007 ‘The Spirit of Faith’, and love it that Lord talk to the mountain blocking Zerubbabel from building Lord’s temple. Zechariah 4:6 -7 ‘So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might (human strength), nor by power (Law), but by my Spirit (Grace),’ says the Lord Almighty. “What are you, O mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it (Grace)! God bless it (Grace)!’”’

Haha…Lord is such a lovable Daddy. He always let us have the joy of seeing our mountains (problems in life) become level ground. I love that He did not bother about the mountain. He is like a Big Daddy protecting us, the little kid, when we face bully. He come behind us and tells the bully, “Who are you!” Isn’t this shiok?! Praise my sweet Daddy for loving me so much. Praise the Lord!

From this sermon, I learnt that Jesus had victory over all issues faced by us. Rev Joe explained that we have to speak words of Christ for the sentence of the adversary to be carried out on them. Lord Jesus secured the judgment for the adversary; our standing firm on words of Christ carries out the sentence of the judgment. Hallelujah for this revelation!

Lord also leads me to listen to Pastor Joshua, 05/08/2007 ‘Big Trouble, small god or Big God, small trouble’ from this sermon I learnt that I am more than a conqueror. This more than is called huper in Greek, which means be it we in good situation or bad, Lord will always, is there for us. Oh, I feel so loved by Daddy God.

Lord leads me to listen to Pastor Prince, 30/3/2008 ‘Favour Stops When You Receive The enemy’s Accusations’. Pastor Prince talked on the building of Lord’s temple in Zechariah and Haggai. Pastor Prince also mention on Zechariah 4:6-7. He mentioned that by Grace, Lord will take over our issues, He sees the perfection in us, the capstone is the last piece of stone to place on a building, and Lord sees the completion of the Holy Temple with our shouts of Grace! Grace!

Daddy God gets me well prepared for the current problem I faced with JC’s classmate’s mum. In sharing about loving our child in Grace of Lord, somehow, she took it negatively and was offended. I felt bad about it. Lord leads me to think of Pastor Joshua sermon, where he shared that Lord Jesus is our Saviour when we are in our worst, He is not to condemn us, He is to bring life to us, to the dead issues in our life. I felt so comforted and loved by Lord that the guilt left me. Praise the Lord!

Then Lord lead me to Rev Joe, Pastor Prince Sermons to know that He surely will help me settles this issue, the current mountain I face. I could imagine He said ‘Who are you, O mountain!’ Hallelujah to the Grace of Lord Jesus!

Lord Jesus, thank You for a perfect work on the Cross. Thank You by the Blood of Jesus, by Your Strips, by Your Death, and by Your Obedience, I receive all Your Great and Merciful Grace pouring mightily over me. Daddy God, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, thank You for loving me so much! *smooches*

A Day as the life of Christian

Recently I start my 2nd round of reading the bible. I am reading the book of John. Interestingly, previously aim was to finish reading the bible, so some of the word of Christ did not leave that much of an impression in me.

All these while, I thought John 3:5 ‘Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.”’ means that we need to water baptize and Spirit baptize to enter the kingdom as said here.

However, on 2nd reading, John 3:6 ‘Flesh gives birth flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.’ I had a better understanding that when we accepted Christ, our Spirits are born again with God’s spirit, so the part of born of the Spirit is explained. Then I wonder about ‘born of water’ part of the statement.

From John 4:13, Lord Jesus said that ‘whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.’ I ever heard from Pastor Prince that praying in the spirit, is the water that quench the fiery dart of the darkness. So now my conclusion is those who accepted Christ, can enter the kingdom of God. This is what my dad experienced. Praise the Lord!

Then from John 4:21 ‘Jesus declared, ‘Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father nor on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.’ John 4:23-24 ‘Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in spirit and in truth.

This is our life as a child of God, for whatever we need to fill our lack, our problems, pray to Daddy God through Lord Jesus by the word of Christ, and stand strong on the words. We are to pray in the spirit too. So far I learnt that praying in the spirit will quench the fiery dart and renew my youth (Psalm 103).

The crowd of people following Jesus, John 6:28 – 29 ‘they ask him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”’ This was what I asked God long before I came to church, NCC. One day, I heard from the sermons post in NCC site that we must do… to be blessed. Then I asked Lord and opened the bible. He put my focus on John 6:28-29, I was so happy to see it and that is what I have been doing all this 19mths. Praise the Lord!

Lord talk to me on Sunday

It’s a long time since I could catch Lord talking to me via Pastors. Sunday was lots of talking from Him to me. :D

Recently, I have a few doubts running in me. I have prayed to Lord Jesus that by His strips, He had removed all the pimples and piles some time back. Instead of seeing it reduced, I saw more of it appearing. I wondered what happened.

Lord on Sunday through Pastor Prince, he said that in army, they were taught that before running away from enemy, they were to shoot one last round of fire before escaping quickly. He said that’s the way devil works too. His pointing this out make me realise it’s the same old trick devil used. Yet, over long period of peace, I had forgotten about it and wondered instead. With Lord’s reminder, I decided to believe in that Lord Jesus had done a perfect work on the cross and surely all the pimples and the piles will be things of the past. Praise the Lord for this reminder. :D

Looking at Su’s marriage life getting blessed, I was wondering when mine would happen. Hubby and I used to be very loving. Each time I wondered, Pastor Prince would preach about we are not to look to husband or wife for love. As we demand more from our partner, the more disappointed we will be, for our partner is not God. He said we need to put Jesus in the middle, as the 3rd party in the marriage.

For each time the above is mentioned, I would wonder how to put Jesus in the midst of my marriage. On Sunday, Lord is being naughty. He was with me during my courtship time. As hubby and me were from long distance relationship, it was hard in the beginning, to be longing for each other and yet could not meet. Talking on the phone was the next better way of connection then.

At that time, there wasn’t internet phone, so calling through the local phone lines was expensive. Yet, because we missed each other, we took a long time to hang off the phone each time. Lord let Pastor Prince acted it out on Sunday and it really hit on me that I used to do it. Haha…Lord leads me to recall hubby and mine courtship days. It’s fun to go back there, fond memories surfaced and brought a smile back to me.

Finally, now I could catch what Pastor meant when he said put Jesus in the midst of the marriage. I am to sink in the love of Jesus and Father God and let this love fill me. With this filling, I will be nicer to hubby and result will be both of us nicer to each other. Praise the Lord for this leading. :D

Lord Jesus, Daddy God, thank You for helping me recall the past, courtship time is always the most memory time. As hubby and I talked about it, we are being drawn closer to each other. Praise the Lord! Amen!

Be Done on Earth as it is in Heaven

Sunday sermon was pretty good. Pastor Prince shared that we are to pray to Father God that His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Pastor Prince was talking about the transfiguration on the holy mountain. Luke 9:29 As Lord Jesus was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. He told us that those who lead prayer are those who will be glorify and honor.

Luke 9:30-31 Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. From verse 30, you can see that Moses and Elijah, are like friends with Jesus. They are the one talking with Jesus, not Jesus talking to them (top talk down).

From the way Moses and Elijah talking to Jesus and my dad moving off with the angel of death in a happy mood and like friends, I can feel that heaven is a very friendly place. :D Like Su the other shared, they have no misery and bad feeling, that’s why those of us that gone there would ‘forget’ about the unhappiness on earth and don’t want to return, for peace, joy and love are the feeling of heaven.

I have never registered in my brain what Moses, Elijah and Jesus talk about till Sunday when Pastor shared that they were talking Luke 9:31 ‘about his (Jesus) departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem.’ I was amazed that Lord Jesus, even though He knew He was to do the will of the Father, His purpose on earth is to be the Sacrifice Lamb for the human race, yet He was not troubled nor be afraid. He was glorified as Peter, John and James saw Him.

In the old covenant, the priest could only enter the Holy of Holy once a year. Holy of Holy was where Lord God, in the form of a cloud, dwelled. Luke 9:34-35 ‘While he (Peter) was talking (nonsense), a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.”’ With Jesus, Peter, John and James could come close to God. Praise the Lord!

Matthew 17:6-7 ‘When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them, “Get up,” he said, “Don’t be afraid.” When Daddy God commanded Peter and companions to hear from Jesus, the first words out of Jesus was to “get up” and “don’t be afraid”. Brothers and sisters in Christ, Lord telling us we could stand in His presence and we are not to be afraid of Him. Praise the Lord!

Lord Jesus, thank You for opening the way to heaven for us, to come boldly and thank You for letting us know that we need not be afraid; we are to be in peace, joy and love on Judgment Day. Amen!

A Day on Earth

Today Su and I brought mum to the airport. Mum was thinking how nice it would be to have dad with her. It drawn on me later in the afternoon that when one died, the loved one missed them, Mum would feel a husband, who always support her is not there anymore. Brother also more anxiety over mum, guess with dad gone to be with Lord, he is also still grieving over the lost. This is something that I would feel previously.

However, due to Daddy God’s Love filled me and Su up, also due to we know that dad is now in the happy heaven, we are more joyful for him than grief for him. I was discussing with Su, about the wonderful experience of heaven love. That feeling was very super strong joyful that cannot be found on earth. Hearing about others, who temporary died and came back and talked about how much they want to stay in heaven, we can imagine magnifying the heavenly strong and joyful feeling in many folds. Heaven must be a place full of strong joyfulness. I told Su that if I am the one to temporary depart; I too won’t want to come back to earth. :D

I was listening to Pastor Mark Hankins’s ‘The Power is in the blood’ again and took down some notes. Sharing with you here:

Blood of Jesus --> mercy

With blood of Jesus, the door to heaven is opened and Daddy God came to greet us.

Faith in the blood --> mercy seats --> Jesus

Have faith in Jesus, He sacrificed Himself like a Lamb opened the way for Daddy God to bless us. We are to have simple faith, confidence, assurance and expectation.

Pastor Hankins commented that when the Israelites left Egypt, they did apply the blood on the door sides n top, with this pleading of blood, they left Egypt with gold and silver. In this modern days, applying of blood means we have to speak it out, let the redeem of the Lord said so. I will have to remember to plea the blood of Jesus over all things that are mine.

Oh yeah, this is the prayer I copied down from the sermon:

Father, I thank You for Your Mercy. I thank You for the blood of Jesus. Right now, by faith I thank You that Christ has already paid the price. I receive it right now by faith. Amen.

Pastor Hankins was talking about there was once he sat with his son to watch Tiger Woods putt the golf ball. In the last leg, he said Tiger Wood was walking around and examining the surrounding, before he hit the ball off course. But after sometime, the ball turned back to the right direction and get into the hole. As Pastor Hankins amazed over it, Lord spoke to him, asking Pastor Hankins if He could putt better than Tiger Wood. Pastor Hankins said yes. Lord replied him that if yes, do not complain when things are not happening in the way he expected. Lord asked him to keep a spirit of faith, keep believing, keep speaking, keep apply the blood and God will perfect what concerned him.

As I was telling Su about Tiger Wood, I shared that many a times, we let our wondering wonder off from focusing on Jesus. This is where the golf ball of Tiger Wood go in opposite direct of the hole. As we turn back to trust what Lord Jesus had completed perfectly by His blood and by His stripes, Lord will perfect what concerned us and bring our blessings.

I told Su not to be anxious over the condo unit they wanted, was taken by someone. They are to look to Jesus and let Him perfect their timing to occupy the promise land.

The Heaven of Jesus

Ever since I finished reading the Book of Revelation and that means I completed reading through once the bible, Lord is letting me peep into the worshiping in heaven for the Lamb of God.

In the Book of Revelation, I could sense the worship is strong and mighty up there in heaven. That moment, I did wonder if one can continuously worship the Lord whole day long. However, I decided I should not use the eye of the nature to look at heaven. After all, there is no adversary in heaven; the joy up there is what I will not know till I reach there in the far away future.

However, from the past experience, from the first time I had revelation of Daddy God’s love and when I revisit that experience, the joy opened to me was beyond description. One has to experience it to know how it’s like. There is nothing close to it to compare on earth.

2 Sunday ago, when a Pastor from another church came to pass the 24*7*365 prayer chain to our church and gave a speech on the book of revelation, on the worship of the Lamb of God, Lord opened the heaven worshiping vision to show me how it was done. Just now as I finished listening to the sermon by Pastor Mark Hankins on ‘The Power is in the Blood’, it opened my eyes to see what Jesus blood had opened the way for me to approach the Holy of Holy freely to meet Daddy God.

In the old covenant, we have to offer cows or lamb as offering to God. From the Book of Hebrew, I realise that now worshiping and praying in the spirit is the offering for the new covenant because Lord Jesus death had opened the way for us, cleared our sins and conscience! Praise the Lord!

Nowadays, Lord even comes on stronger during my prayers. It no longer my weak voice, Lord has empowered His strong, forceful voice into mine. Guess He is preparing me ready for the healing service that He had opened door for me.

Daddy God, thank You for letting me know that You are always with me. Thank You for opening a portion of the vision of heaven for me to see. It is such a glorious worshipping that I can’t imagine the greatest of it all. The prayer session just now is simply Glory Glory Glory, Holy Holy Holy. Amen!
