In the Eye of the Storm...

Been back to the house of God & I feel so good to be 'fed' by the Pastors. Like a lamb, I look upon our Good Shepherd & be led by Him as He says, "I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd risks and lay down His [Own] life for the sheep."John 10:11 (Amplified Bible) Pastor Prince has been sharing about the Lord being our Shepherd & many a time, being in the House of God is a confirmation of what the Lord speaks in the week, through the Holy Spirit in us, I purely believe in the relationship with God, not a religion or the rituals, do you? Last Sunday Pastor Prince preached on Shalom the Lord gave to us, check out "Tribulations - to destroy us?

Oh did I mention about the blessings? Our Church is in the heart of a busy shopping arcade [unique, right? it's call Suntec City, remember to check it out when you come to Singapore!] and it almost impossible to find a parking space on a busy Sunday. Yet, for the past few weeks, the Lord bless us with an instant parking space when we reached Suntec! It's like a personal parking lot, immediate access to the Church! Praise the Lord! As much as the Devil tried to put us in bad traffic or other incidents to delay the trip to worship our Abba, the Lord never fail to bless us! Lunch time is packed with heaps of people awaiting for seat at the food court, my brother in Christ and me will declare the blessing and instantly, we are happily seating down, ordering our food!

It is just parking space and seats for food, what is the big deal? Oh ya, when you face with fleets of cars awaiting for a single car park lot & you are frustrated & hungry, couldn't wait to be embraced in the house of God, that instant blessing you feel then, has the ability to 'wash' away your Monday blues keeping your heart in peace for the good week ahead! Often it is the simplicity of life that make up our happiness, I do not know about you but to know that our Father in Heaven bless such 'little' needs, surely when the storm arrive, the Lord would embrace me from his promises of Psalm 91, "I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge & my fortress, my God; on Him I lean & rely, and in Him I [Confidently] trust!' Psalm 91:2 (Amplified Bible)

Try this, "Father, I declare in your name I need..." That activates the Blessing button & out flows the river of life! I did not know such work till Pastor Prince preached on this supernatural blessing that the Lord bless such, as it says in Deuteronomy 28:6 "Blessed shall you be when you come in & blessed shall you be when you go out."

I am still in the storm, in fact I am in the Eye of the Storm...yet I want to share that the Lord bless me & upheld me with his love from Chaos to Calm. I am hailstormed by demands, assailed by doubts & pummeled by questions! If you are in one, then you know what I mean. Godincidence, I just read my collection of Max Lucad's books, "In the eye of the Storm, a day in the life of Jesus." I never dream that Jesus knows how I feel [As being a human]. Do you know of the story of a God who became human? Jesus! Why? He did that so that you & I would believe that the Healer knows our hurts, he voluntarilty became one of us. He placed himself in our position. He suffered our pains & felt our fears.

Feel better now knowing you are not alone? I do. Thanks for all the prayers, my little sister & my Dad are getting better though the healing is progressive, I will fix my eyes on the perfect work on the cross. Just remember:Jesus Loves us heaps!

What have you been praying for?

Woke up in the middle of the night...remembered some hurtful moments, cry upon the Lord & the Holy spirit led me to Max Lucado's site [Upwords] and listen to a short message:

Pray for the Unity of Holy Spirit to work in the life of fellow Church members, to bring unity.

Satan is 'powerful' but predictable, he wants to divide the Church, he wants to divide God's people, so the fellowship with one another is divided and testimonies to the outside World is destroyed.

He wants to create competition, jealousy, superiority, pray against them. Surrender these problems to the Lord!

How? What to pray for? Pray for your leadership, pray for your enemies, pray for the people in the Queue, pray for your pastor! Pray for your church! There is no more important organization than that and that is the Church!

O' Lord...Let us not be Divided...with the Christ in Us! We have Blood Bought rights!

Slow to believe?

Taken my communion, declared I am healed in a name above all name, Jesus ! My first rest day of the week was disturbed by 'food poisoning', my frequent visit to the washroom and constant pain reminded me of the past suffering of my little sister. My little precious sister is recovering and I pray to the Lord she will not suffer a relapse being the first day of school for her after months of rest at home...

In order to experience Grace through my own personal experience is for our heart to be persuaded that we are 101% righteous. It is this belief of the truth that made Grace effective in my life. "I can do all things through HIM who strengthens me." Phil 4:13 Amplified Bible, "I have strength for all things in Christ who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency] Halleluiah! Christ is all we need Amen?!

Let me share some reading from Dr. James Richards, a man who preach heaps on Grace. I believe the key to restoration of ALL things is the same key to victory in ALL walks of life - Believing. Amen?! Trying to be righteous in our own strength isolates us from Grace. Let's look at Paul said in Galatians 2:21 "I do not nullify the Grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ Died needlessly."

When we try to do things in our own strength, we nullify, reject and neutralize the grace of God in our life! Don't blame God, God does not take away his goodness and Grace away from us; it is through our unbelief, we choose to depend on our own strength instead of His.

"Godwyn, What is new? I know this verse and this 'revelation' years before you wrote this!" many might say. I say to you, "In the midst of a fiasco, where all things go wrong and everything seem to be hopeless, will you say, "Lord I believe in you?" and truely cast your problems unto Him?"

I am still learning, that is why I just told Jesus, my sister is going back to school, she is not going to suffer a relapse "that is your problem, not mine as you are God, I am not!"

When we enter into His Light, accepting what Jesus says about us in the Bible and acknowledging our righteousness through His Finished work, then Grace will flood our heart! Surely YOU will find God's Grace to deliver us out of our sins and daily tribulation!

Jesus said in John 20:29 Amp"Blessed and happy and to be envied are those who have never seen Me & yet have believed and adhered to and trusted and relied on me" Amplified Bible. Thus, many a time I am confuse and do not know what is happening to my life, I just say to myself, "Jesus, I do not know what is happening around me, but I know you Love me, You will nevere forsake me and I believe in you."

If God say so, it will be so...

Stairways to Heaven...

This Testimony shared by Sister Ann is simply amazing. Are you worrying about your family not receiving Salvation? Plagued by Constant Fear being separated by stairways to Heaven?

"Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me." John 14:6

I was in a period of time of consistent worries and fears concerning my family's salvation for number of years, as you see, I am now in Singapore and all my family members are in China, and I felt guilty when I didn't share the good news with them, I thought it is of my responsibility to get them saved. I could break down and cry suddenly worrying about them, I even told the Lord, what is the use that You saved me but not saving my family members.

O, how foolish I was until one day He really really spoke to me during one of my private time with Him. He spoke one sentence that cast all my worries out of my mind, (perfect love cast out fears) He said, "Don't you know that I love them MUCH MORE than you love them?" I was stunned in His presence, I was trembling when I heard my Abba's heart.

Yes, He personally loves them more than I do. I love them, but I am not omnipresent. He loves them, He can be right there they are, while they need help the most. It is not my hand that can extend back to China to save them out of their struggles but His.

Cut the story short, mom was saved last year while she was in Singapore in the span of 9 days, and she is coming here for a month soon. and from the conversations I have with my mom over phones, my dad is now more care-free for any reason that she doesn't know (BIG GRIN), and they even have conversation concerning Jesus and God a lot of times,(HALLELUJAH).

And God was telling me, don't even have an impression that you are saved, and they are not, called them the saved of the Lord, and see them worship in the church in the Spirit. It is impossible for you, but nothing is impossible for Me. And I was delivered from this area of fear of life ever since.

God is still faithfully working in the out and through my life. And I know you understand what I mean.

He is our pillar of cloud of strength when we are weak.

He is our pillar of fire to keep us warm.

He is our only solution for all our needs.

And guess what?

He is in action.. :)

Joshua 1:5

Whenever I face any trials & feel that I am on 'a breaking point', I will remind myself to meditate on a verse that the Lord had blessed me with, 2 years back that brought me back to Salvation, Hebrews 13:5-6.

My heart was heavy while I sat at the 'waiting bay' awaiting for my Dad from the operation room & praying for my younger sister receiving theraphy from another hospital. I am not repeating the same incident, 'Godincident' [Word, Inspired from Sister Ann, she reminded me this words I use years back.] with the last 'blog' entry, the 'history repeated itself' 2 days back. Our adversary, the little 'D' loves to pack all his deceptions into one, hoping you will break with his lies...

Little 'D' hopes he can drive me into desperation, but God NEVER allow such to happen, HE whispers Joshua 1:5 into my heart while I was feeding on Living Words from the Bible. "Joshua? My mind rushed with excitement, paving away my worries. "No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you." Josh1:5 & at THAT instant, my HEART was filled with the Lord's love. [Same Words as Heb 13:5, Godincidence, never knew that verse] I read the verse and came the 'Amen'...Jesus loves me Heaps!

Beloved Ones, Jesus will never fail you or forsake you, in times seems so hard for you to bear, Amen!?! That is the living truth I am sharing with you now. 31st of Aug, I brought Dad back for review, a day after the operation. 8.45 a.m. in the morning, we began the different 'test stop-overs' before final consultation with the surgeon. I remembered the last 'stop-over', I left my Dad to the wash-room and returned back without going through the procedure with him.

The next moment, Dad's name was called and I was in time to accompany him to the 'final stop-over', consultation with the surgeon. Dr. Klng yelled out smugly, "Perfect operation!" after his detailed assessment. "What? Doctor? Perfection?" I was amazed as it was less than a day after Dad's eye operation. "Didn't you followed your Dad to his eye test?", Dr. Klng asked. "No, sorry I was at the washroom." I replied bastfully. "His eye sight is now 6/6. Perfect! A few weeks more we can operate on his left eye." Dr. Klng said Nattily. I thanked him and before we left, he cleared his throat and said, "Here are my cards, I deal with complex Cataract case!"

Not to dismiss Dr. Klng's credit, I am sure Jesus did the operation! I thank God and my spirit arise, with another life testimony to share about the wonders of God, when you least expect it to happen...My Dad was excited about the outcome, it boasted his confidence, yet on the other hand, he lost more insight to his Bi-Polar Disorder. As for me, I care less, I indulged with God's love that embraces me & pray in Spirit...Holy Spirit; Jesus did the operation! Halleluiah!
