In this process of walking close with Jesus, Lord comes to lead me more. Many a time, people may not know what I put in for this leading. Walking with Jesus starts with having a good opinion of Lord Jesus and believing all that He had done on the Cross.
The whole bible, is not just this revelation about Jesus. There are more about Jesus than just this believe. It's through listening to the sermons from NCC, your vision of Jesus grows bigger and bigger. Lord is leading in term of which sermons you are to listen and what books to read. It's the small still voice and the heart impression. When you quiet down, probably you could feel his presence.
As I was so fill up with the word of Christ, Lord came and lead me more. It's about sitting at the foot of Jesus and let Him fill you up, when you have eaten enough of the breast of Jesus, about His Love, Lord will slowly lead you to access His Thigh, where all His power is.
What is this filling up means? Why need the filling up to serve Jesus? The walk in this Christian life is to be like Jesus. How can you be like Jesus? In the bible, Lord promised it was not a outward walk. It's a inner man leading.
In the natural, we are so I do this, I did that. It's all about I, I , I. Yes, the daily walk in life, most people thinks about what they going to do from the start of the day till they sleep. As long as you are still thinking about I, I, I, Lord could not use you.
This filling up is about, you learn more about Jesus and believe about all that is shared about Him. The more you listen and the more you believe in your heart what Jesus has done for you and how great Father God is, slowly, your mindset will think just like Jesus. Your walk of life will be He is walking for you. Daily life it's all about He do it for you. As you lean more to Him and let Him come through you to lead you, He is able to use your body, the temple. When He could use you, His power will come through you to touch the world.
That is why it is so important to fill up ourselves with what is revealed about Jesus. Pastor Prince ministry is about revealing about Jesus. That is why I was being lead by Lord to go there. At that time I didn't know He is leading me. It's through this walk with Him that I realise my whole life He is with me.
Why I post this post? Through this 2.5 yrs, Lord is leading me to listen to more of His words. As I listen, I recommended to my sis and WK too. In this world, there are adversary that do not want you to know too much about Jesus. The more you know about Lord Jesus, the more you will not believe in His lie about your life. He become inoperative in you.
This past 2.5 yrs, Lord initially impressed Su to help in Children Ministry and Wk and I in healing. That time WK was with us and even though she did not believe as much as we do, her walk with Jesus was not that far off. We always pull each other back as adversary tried to lead each of us away.
Finally, adversary thinks of a plan for Wk to move away from us. While we were still walking together, Lord through me told her that Lord wants to bless her greatly. Did she believe? Hiaz... Lord 1.5 yrs ago, through me lead her close again. Mainly getting her to listen to more sermons. She shy away. The 2nd last leading, she believe that God is a Good God. Since He could lead me, He could lead her too. She has not been filling her up with sermons and reading the bible.
On 23th February, through my meditation, Lord told me and Su to lead her again. I saw her on MSN yesterday and she told me she has been praying to Lord to use her. Lord impressed me to lead her again. This is what Lord tells me: 'I want to bless her very much. But she has not put in much effort to come close to me.'. But she told me that she has been listening to sermon and reading the bible. Only Lord will know about the much effort part. I won't know, I am just a delivery girl for Lord.
Actually, blessing comes to Jesus only. In the bible, Jesus was on Peter's boat and because Jesus was there, blessing goes there. How did blessings come to your life then? It's by having the same thoughts as Jesus and let Him be your life. That is why, not all people in church gets blessed millions of dollars. Only the few who dare to come that close was blessed with millions of dollars. When Lord Jesus operates through your life, blessing will be chasing after you.
This is the life describe in John 10:27 'My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.' Psalm 23 is a Psalm about you being lead by Lord. Once you being lead by Lord then Psalm 23:6 'Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.' Why you 'dwell in the house of Lord', you trusted Lord and put your life with Him. 'Goodness and love will follow me' as Jesus is in your life and coming through your life, the blessing will surely come for Him and you will be the one receiving it just like Peter in the boat.
It's a life directed by the Spirit. A life of rest in Him. Hallelujah!!! Amen & Amen!!!

Sitting at the foot of Jesus
Let me confess, in this 2.5 yrs of walking with Jesus. I did not encounter that many of Christian sisters and brothers to talk in general. As such, I am only talking from the few I met this 2.5 yrs.
From New Creation Church, Lord through Pastor Prince point to the bible that Jesus commented Mary for sitting on His Foot to receive is the good thing. Looking around me, in this world, there are just too many reading materials about Christianity and how to know the Holy Spirit and etc etc....
What I know, my job as a child of God, is to believe in whatever teaches in New Creation. That's what Lord impressed me when I was a baby Christian. He even made available of sermons for me to listen. Pastor Prince Ministry is about revealing Jesus. The whole bible is also about Jesus. Lord also lead me to sit in NCC to receive as much as possible...sermons from 2002 till now. It was this listening till full...well, I won't know if I am full or not. It's Lord who knows and He who lead. When my foundation in Lord Jesus goodness is not easily shaken, Lord lead me to learn from other teachers.
I have been to Jerry Servelle website then to Kenneth Copeland. The learning is only for a season. As I grow in the Lord, He leads me to John G Lake, and even download Smith Wigglesworth's Everlasting Love etc. But Lord did not ask me to swallow all that the other teachers taught. There are some teaching that Sin, Law that Lord Jesus has fulfilled, but the teacher still teaching, Lord told me to split it out.
Now that Lord told me I am a matured child, in a Father position as Book of John1 wrote, sometime, great preacher like Pastor Prince, also might fall into some disbelieve. There were a case recently that Lord told us to split out the bones when he look to the world and not to Lord Jesus provision.
Lately I was sharing about how Lord lead me to a care group member, Di. He has been reading many of Kenneth Hagin book and Kenneth Hagin did wrote about Holy Spirit. Di brushed off my Lord's leading and recommended that I must read Hagin book. I am not commenting if his books is good or bad. But when I checked with Lord, Lord told me that I need not read it. Lord knows what I have build in him and what is lacking in me. He, the Mighty One, knows what else I need. Hehe...now is about listening to Him through meditation. Praise the Lord!
What I feel, don't know if it's correct, is if one sit upon Pastor Prince teaching, and believe everything that is shared about Jesus. His foundation will grow stronger and stronger. As the believe in the Lord and walk the life He specified, Lord will surely come to guide, like what Pastor Prince shared on Sunday 1st service.
When Noah sent the dove out from the Ark. When dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf, and Noah found Grace. Pastor Prince said that the dove with leaf is Holy Spirit. Yes, when you disregard all the condemnation and judgment around you but believe in the finish work of Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit surely will come and lead. Lord do not wait till you 100% believe in him all the time to come and lead too. As long as your heart is towards Jesus and believe in Him, He surely will lead.
Sometime, one may think that you have believe in Jesus, why Lord has yet to come and lead you or talk to you. I can give you an example of believing. When you done something that cause your guilt to rise, do you feel bad about yourself or you choose to believe that It is rewritten 'I have the Righteousness of God in Christ', God do not impute any more sin on you? It is not easy to walk in Christ actually.
I encountered strong resistance of strong, intense guilt feeling coming on when I tried to stand in Lord's Righteousness. I was a young Christian then, at that time, this Righteousness of God in Christ has not had a strong foundation in me yet. Really, it was a spiritual fight that moment of time. But as I grabbed hold and confessed 'I am the righteousness of God in Christ and I have no sin and Daddy God do not impute any sin on me', that after sometime, I emerged from that fight as a winner.
Devil keep children of God down by using the Law to tie them down. As long as you don't know you are the Righteousness of God in Christ and let it, the lier, to lie to you, means you believe in what darkness tells you, then Lord cannot come and lead you.
Father God, by the Grace of Lord Jesus, may eyes be opened by your Mighty Lord's Hand to see the goodness of Lord Jesus in their life. I pray in Jesus Name. Amen!

I care about small things
Abba Father, the only Real God around, even though He is so BIG, the whole universe is just on His palm, actually bothers to care about the small things in our life. Just feel like sharing what Lord has been caring for me.
I for one, not like the usual woman. I do not like to make up and don't even bother to dress up to show others that I am of certain 'status'. I feel that if people wants to know me, they should look at the real me instead of my dress-up. You see, this bochap, don't bother attitude, even mum nagging and friends nagging, I still don't bother. However, Lord bothers, Praise the Lord!!!
This Father of mine, He likes me to dress up and be presentable. He started with sending me to attend make-up course a few months ago. Then a few weeks ago, He get Su to bring me to a certain designer shop to buy some new clothes. Hehe...this lady, who do not like shopping for clothes, has not buy any new clothes for 3 yrs or so. Every standard outing dressing for me is a presentable t-shirt and a pair of pants. That's my years of dressing in this way ever since I become a house wife. Lord has other plan for me.
When I first wore the blouse I bought, I actually didn't feel comfortable. After a day of wearing it, then I get used to it. However, my daily home wear is dated t-shirt plus knee length shorts. Why dated t-shirts, I have been wearing them for many years, they are comfortable and soft to wear that I preferred this to those body hugging tees that most lady wear.
Guess, wearing such home wear sending and fetching Jc from school, guess other mums don't give me much respect. This one mum, E, even get angry with me for not going to the playground with Jc. She felt that I let others adults take care of my girl. In actual fact, the kids are playing by themselves and the adults just hang around gossiping, which is not my cup of tea.
Recently, Jc wanted a birthday party, so I thought of using the rooftop garden to celebrate and pray to Lord to bless me cool weather, the party was from 3-5pm. That afternoon, there wasn't a cloud in the deep blue sky and the sun was very bright shining straight up. I prayed again there came a cloud, but was soon blew away by the strong wind.
All the kids were smart, they all run to my home to play, while the adult stayed in the hot bbq pit shelter. As it was too hot to hold the party out there, I invited the adults to my home after consulting Lord and on the aircon instead. Many of the kids praise that my home is very beautiful. Some mums also commented I am a fortune tai tai. They did look around my house.
After the party, I found that the mum, E, who used to show me a dark face, actually showed me a present face. A lot of other mums also be more present to me. Praise the Lord. Lord then revealed to me that He wanted the mums to come to see my home, to know that I am not those poor, cheapo person.
Hehe, things we bought for this house, actually we used to it and don't bother about it. Hubby cares about design, comfortable instead of price. I used to check for the price of things when I go shopping. Ever since hubby told me not to look at the price, but to see if I really like that item, I had since adopt this attitude in my purchase.
We have done up this house because we like warm cosy place. We bought designer sofa because it so comfortable to seat and lay on. We have computers with flat screens monitor and notebooks around the house, mainly because it used to be a love of hubby. We have big oven because of our cooking and baking needs. Hubby want a good one. I love good pots, I did bought a series of AMC pots. I have Kenwood large mixer and I have bread maker too. I have dishwasher as my hands are sensitive to detergent. As hubby and me are lazy to hang clothes, we have dryer too.
All we have is because we love good design and we like comfortable and our needs. To us that is normal, nothing great to show off about, but when the mums saw them, they wow over them. I write all these is not to show off, but to let you know what I am talking about Lord wanting others to respect me more than I should deserve. Haha...actually I did not realise my home look so good till the kids and mums look in amazed.
Lord has other plan for me, He told me where next to go get my clothes and to buy myself some jewellery to wear. Hehe..I do not wear any accessories, only thing I have on me is my earrings I had ever since I went with Jc to poke holes on the ears, and a watch. But Lord is leading me to dress up nicely for Him, praise the Lord.
Su had been dressing down ever since her last job that she spent almost the whole day and night 7 days a week working. But Lord bless her with good taste for fine dressing that now she dress up prettily. Lord blessed her hubby with good taste for fashion that he could select dresses, accessories, and even sandals for her. Recently in their Bangkok trip, he chosen so many good designer sandals for her that an western lady, who was there shopping, commented he has good taste. Praise the Lord.
Now, who says Daddy God has no time for small things?? Praise the Lord that He is good in small issues and Big issues. Nothing is impossible for Him for He is I M POSSIBLE!!! Praise the Lord!!! Hallelujah!!! Hallelujah!!! Amen and Amen!!!
