The Life of Christ

With Lord Jesus leading, Su and me had just gone through 3 days of intensive training. Never would we knew that we were going to be going under such test. Lord leaded us hour by hour, showed me angles dancing and even a vision of Jesus with the hands open wide. Lord kept encouraging and strengthening that it was disclosed that it was a endurance test.

On Christmas day, He got my mum to organise a Christmas dinner and all my sisters and families turned up. It was great that my 2nd sis, Cat, and her 2 sons joined our kids to stay up the night. We were proclaiming Jesus goodness and Cat, who yet to accept Christ, joined us in the proclamation. Lord is so happy that He wants to make Cat a pastor in future, for her great faith in the Lord and could see His Goodness and believe in Him instantly.

It was cute that her two sons chased the dad home alone and chose to stay put with us, even till the next day 9 pm. It was a continual of proclaiming Jesus is good. It sounded so well to hear all proclaiming in unison. It sounded so sweet and pleasing. After 2 days and 1 night of training. I thought that's all. But on the last Sunday, Lord got Su and me to stay in His kingdom the whole day through too. Till the end, then He asked if I am willing to take 4 services in future. He done a few test to make sure we walk in His path of righteousness and let Him move us as He pleases.

It's like the river Pastor Prince disclosed on the last bible study. Starting, water just near your ankle, you could do your life as you please. Then when water goes to your knee level, you started to seat with Jesus and Him lead you more. When water rise to waist, much effort is needed if you want to go your own way of life. You lean more and more closer to Lord. Till water is at the neck. You can't go by your will. Everything trust it to the Lord and let him lead fully.

This few days of intensive test, Lord wants to make sure we go by His way and not our will. With this conclusion, He cleared a few bad traits in our life. Now all done. Just waiting for the day to serve Him fully, mainly to pass my body, soul, and spirit to him and let Him come through fully.

Abba father, thank you for these 3 days of intensive training. Thank you that with each test, you lift us higher up to be use by you. Glory Glory! Thank you for the blessing of Abraham in my life, that where ever I go, whatever I do, everything is blessed. Glory Glory! Amen Amen!

Blessed Christmas

Hi All My Belovd Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

Blessed Christmas. May your wishes be realised from now onwards.

Sharing a joke here. This morning, I sms my sis, Su, that Lord Jesus is our Saviour and Redeemer. All our lacks were judged in the body of Jesus at Calvary. Through Him we are greatly blessed

Su replied me when I was at the grocery shop. She said, "Lord said we are the centre cross of our family. Hallelujah! Hallelujah, Amen Amen!"

I was thinking, Lord put us in the center of the Cross??? I imagined a cross and we are placed at the cross section of the cross, the tiny spot. I was wondering, what kind of position is that for all our family members...haha...then I realised she meant Santa Clause!!! Haha...

This is when sometime read too much into the words. Take the word of Christ as it is and be blessed! Amen!

Christ in the mid of marriage

I like to talk about this topic again since Su only received the full revelation recently. Let talk from the normal daily life that what most couple did.

Take note of what you talk daily to your spouse. Do you demand him/her to do something for you. Do you tried to see if he/she loves you by trying to decode his/hers daily action/reaction to you?

Isn't it weird? During dating, we think more about satisfying our partner then ourselves. But once married, we focus on our partner to see what they do is up to our satisfaction or not. This demand for partner to satisfy our view of things can put strain, stress to the marriage.

Su has a quick temper. Whatever she not happy, she would shoot it out. After all the scolding, her heart cleared and she is happy again with whoever she shot at. But she didn't realise was, each of this demands/accusation, fill into the emotional bank of her husband, and filled up so much, overflow with the accusations that he easily shoot a fiery dart back at her when provoked. I ever received such dart from Su before and I know it wasn't pleasant to be in the receiving end.

Recently, when she learnt from me about no condemnation, she thought after pouring her anger on her husband, then she sms him telling him no condemnation. She told me she applied it but he still unhappy. She puzzled. I told her, once dart is out, shot straight into the heart of the receiving party and cause the injury, then apologise, the damage is done.

How to put Christ in the mid? Putting Christ in the mid is about when some unpleasant feeling comes to you, cast it to Lord's nail-pierced hand first. With the peace of God, then go to talk to your spouse, give Grace, not condemnation. Su told me she prayed to Lord to remove unpleasant feeling, but it did not go off on first prayer. Well, if after casting to Lord's hand and you still feel something, cast again, still you get your peaceful heart.

Finally, Su prayed to Lord to cleared all the pleasantries from her. With the peace of God, she managed to give Grace to spouse. The next morning, Lord showed her that through the years of condemnation, the emotional tub of spouse was so overflowing with guilt/condemnations. Su came to end of self and apologised to spouse for causing so much pain in him.

Lord also shared that the favour she received from dh is out of duty/responsibility of the spouse, if she give Grace, she would receive love in action. Praise the Lord! Su finally gets it and the giving of Grace resulted her husband to love her more. Glory Glory! Finally Su realise the mighty power of this Grace. Glory Glory!

Devil programmed this world for wife to look to husband for love. By daily demand from husband, wife is pushing the husband away and away. That is how devil cause marriage to break. So, don't go by the normal worldly way. Start looking to Jesus finish work on the cross and cast the unhappiness to Lord nail-pierced hand. With a peaceful heart, talk Grace to spouse. If cannot, get Lord to help you give Grace. Overtime, surely, you will see your partner loving you more.

I was counseling an old internet friend today that I think a detail posting is necessary to draw a better understanding on how to put Jesus in the midst of marriage. Glory Glory! May you see His Grace at work! Hallelujah! Amen Amen!
