Was hearing a song, and i have no idea what it means, but hearing it...just made me think of the situation just a little.

Although it seems difficult now, but it'll soon past.
We are the star of our own movie scene, and we know..no matter how difficult the situation is, the main character will always find a way out somehow. And we just wait for that to happen! =)
O_o and makes ppl go like that! O_o

If God is for us, we are more than conquerors!
2Cor4: 16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

Dun lose heart!!! =D

Miracles

Hey All!!
Well it seems totally out of the blue, but yesterday i started thinking of Moses.

Moses was interesting, we are probably like him when God calls us. We lay out many many excuses...But in the end God says You're Enough!

Why?!!?!

Well,
Who knows what miracles you can achieve,
When you believe?

Recognize the lines?! Yea!it started with Moses>>Exodus>>Cartoon>>When you Believe song! haha!

But honestly, Who knows what miracles You can achieve, when You believe?!

The israelites would never have seen the Red Sea open, had they not taken their first step.

So will you. =D

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose

Are u following God's purpose today? Then ..
Who knows what miracles you can achieve,
When you believe?

Look! Where?!?!

*credit to Joanne! She shared a really gud word, and i think it's worth saying out! desho!!!*

Psalm 121:1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills; where does my help come from?
vs 2 my help come from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

Haha...u lift your eyes up to the hills,....but your help does Not come from the hills! it comes from God!!! The maker of Heaven and Earth!!!!!

No matter how high you lift up your eyes, Lift It HIgher!!!!

And!!! Be dependant on God, because without God, you're a dead branch.
John 15:4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me [NIV]

Unless we remain in God, we'll never be fruitful, no matter how much we try to bear fruit ourselves. Get!?lolz!

No go and multiply! And remember where your help comes from! =D

What's following?

1.When Jesus came down to earth, He performed many miracles!

2.When Jesus was crucified, He didn't stay dead!But rose on the 3rd day.

3.And finally, the Final Command goes to the disciples.

Mark 16:15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.

And So We go! Yea! Great! Awesome!!! We can do it!
But do we have Any Idea What Should be happening?What Should be changing?! Once we actually really understand What We can accomplish in Jesus' name...We can change this generation already.

Mark 16:17And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."

You Have the Power of Holy Spirit!!!!! The Power to drive out evil! The power to Overcome evil! The Power to heal!

Use it!!!!!! use it!!!!

Jesus Himself said...These signs will follow Us who Believe!
Do you Believe?!
well there's your comformation, of the great signs that will follow a Victorious Christian! =)
If we are really planning to Empower a generation, then we'll need All the Power of God!

And the Jesus Declares that THESE miracles will Follow those who believe!

So don't doubt the Power we have from God! Because we Are the Children of God! ><
What's following our works and faith? =)

No change; No gain

lemme rephrase that,

'If you don't intend to change your mindsets, or refuse to admit that you have to change, God can't possibly give you new anointing...why?"

Mark 2:22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, he pours new wine into new wineskins." (NIV)

Because if God were to Give You new anointing, new challenges, new miracles, new blessings, new teachings, new new new.....anything..., While You are Not ready with A NEW Wineskin (mindset, believes, faiths, attitude)...it will ALL go to waste.

YOu'll just burst from the weight of the New Wine, because you insisted to retain the old wineskin!

Both You and The new anointing will be ruined!*gasp

Of Course you dowan that to happen Wut!!!!!
So......if we seek for a breakthrough, first and foremost, prepare A NEW Wineskin! Because I believe that GOD is going to Pour Out New anointing onto this generation, And We have to be READY to receive it! Amen!

get ready! =)

Blur to Speak?

"What am i supposed to say now?!" =)

1C orinthians 2:4My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, 5so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.

Simple, Trust in God, Be led by the spirit to speak!

no.1 , The gospel is Not about Persuading, It's About the TRUTH!
We don't have to 'persuade' people! We're supposed to Preach to the people to tell them the Word of God, and let God change their lives!
We cannot Offer Salvation, only God can! Aha! So where does the real work come from?!God la! So let Him work through Your works! =)

no.2, Our faith should rest On God's Power, not by Men's wisdom! O_o
Only God can give our salvation, so only God can perform miracles in your life.
If you cloud yourself with Tooooo much Common Sense and Knowledge, How do u expect to experience God's miracles?!

Where in biology or chemistry can u explain cancer vanishing in a moment?! What law of physics can u give to explain the parting of the Red Sea?! What psychology theory can u give when someone is changed totaLLy by God?!

listen, God's miracles Cannot be measured, just like how His love cannot be measured.
Men tell you 'Cannot! Cannot! Cannot be! Impossible!'

Who are you listening to?!

Of course can La!!!!! Our God is Great! He will deliver us! He will provide!

Halo!!!!! You're supposed to be asking for a MIRACLE! Not the ACHIEVABLE!

Preach the Right Gospel! The gospel of Truth!And let God do His part, which is the best part of all! Salvation! =D

Go Preach it! =)

Man and Wo-man

So what's it like to be man of God or a woman of God!? =D
hahah..this is gonna be so fun.

I want to re-emphasize the difference in genders for a moment,

Genesis1:27 So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. [NLT]

So God created male AND female in His own image. Both of us are created in God's image!
So if God's image is good, then males are good, then Females are good as well yea?!!=)
After all these is no 'God favours who more', because We are all His children rite!? =D

Genesis 2:21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man slept, the Lord God took out one of the man’s ribs and closed up the opening. vs22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man.
vs23 “At last!” the man exclaimed.
“This one is bone from my bone,
and flesh from my flesh!
She will be called ‘woman,’
because she was taken from ‘man." [NLT]

4 words for you beautiful women,
You are an Answer!
Not a problem!



Men and women are Two, but one under God. And women were not meant to Hide back in the image of men, because God already made you separately, so fusing yourself back into men's image is not gonna make men go..."At Last!" lolx! =)


Anyway, to emphasize my point, i have a picture, =)

These are two different balloons, Male and Female, But they're both created with with the image that the creator wanted them to look like. *Sorry the air in the blue balloon kinda escaped..Not saying that Guys are less significant than girls or anything ah!*lolx!=D

Deuteronomy 22:5 “A woman must not put on men’s clothing, and a man must not wear women’s clothing. Anyone who does this is detestable in the sight of the Lord your God. [NLT]

i think the message is,
Woman Should not Put on men's image, nor should men put on women's image!
Because God had made us for a reason, and we are supposed to fulfill the revelation of our own gender!
I'm not saying 'now all women hate men, and men run away from women'..but I want to get the message across, that if You are a woman, then Be a woman of God. if you're a man, then Be a man of God!

And btw, women doesn't mean staying at home watching the kids ah..look at proverbs 31..Wah.
She super woman man! i'm also quite freaked out..how perfect is she?!lolz!

So Go Man of God and Woman of God! =D

More than Conquerors

Hey All!!!What are u up to?!

Romans 8: 31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Romans 8:35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

Romans 8:38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, vs39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Do you understand the power you have in God?
There is No excuse to give, that you are stumbling, because the word says, if God is For us...who can be against us?!.
There's nothing in this world, Nothing...that can separate us from the love of Christ. Nothing can stop us, because God has granted us power by the holy Spirit.

Only if we start living by the spirit...can be ever discover the meaning of the power and authority God has given us!

So No more excuses from now on, because though ur natural, God is Supernatural!
And if we have God, we Are supernatural! Boom babeh!

Throw out your excuses already! there's nothing that should be holding you back from seeking the real love of God towards us! God has already made us More than Conquerors..because My saviour is living in Me! =)
Live on! =)

Proven; Bring it on!

Hellloooo!!!!!

Been having a hard time?! Studies are coming nearer, or there already! Aiks!!!!I'm screaming here!

Then I saw...THe verse.

Romans5:3 "Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; vs4perseverance, character; and character, hope. vs5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us"

In my bible (NASB) it says Perseverence brings about Proven Character; and proven character, hope.

No. 1: Rejoice in our suffering?!?! hahaha...That sounds Crazy!!! I rmb in Harry Potter show there was one line where Ron told Harry after reading his tea leaves; You will suffer but be happy about it" I laughed! =D
But the Word says...Rejoice in your suffering! It's spoken plain as day. If u wanna obey God, Rejoice!
2. Because God wants to bring about a Proven Character in us, and He wants to test us of our perseverence!

Romans 8:18For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

Helooo!!! God's got something amazing for you at the end of this testing! This is not even worthy!! bring it on!!!
God cannot use a lazy person or one who will give up on the Kingdom of God when tribulations come. That's what He told me!

I want to have a Proven character at the end of this difficulty. Because that'll bring a testimony, and give hope not only to me, but to Others as well! Amen?!

I'm so excited when difficulties come along, it's either I win and the outcome is amazing, or i lose and regret for my entire life. I just gotta win then! >< Yea i heard this once! What can kill us can only make us stronger rite?!

So Start to think, Bring it on! Bring it on! Cause i'm gonna get a Proven Character at the end of this! MUahHAHhAhhahAHHAhHAhaha! *scary laugh*

Bring it on!

Changed

Hellloooo everyone!!! =)

Everywhere in the bible talks about new life with God, you die with sin etc etc. !

And I read this verse yesterday(among the other verses)..
Romans 6:3 "Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? vs4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life"

No one..who has experienced God will ever remain the same again.

Old mindets should die.
Old bad attitudes should die.

Past sins should die.

Bondages should break.

I encourage us to think again really, what were you like before you really experience God?!
I ca honestly say i'm different la. Though my actions are not much different, but the way i think and perceive are different. God didn't want to change our physical! he wants to change our Hearts! In His eyes, we are perfect physically already!

I was so terrible man last time. i used to hate the world. What was the meaning of life? i thought I didn't need anyone to get through life. I didnt like my parents, and I didn't like guys. Sad yea. but dun worry, i dun hate either one ade. lolz!
God moved my heart.

So dun go back to your old ways of thinking! Dun revert back to what Jesus has broken free from you!
Start moving forward! Because your life should be different already!
You're no longer that child who everyone looked down on, because God thinks of you great! You're no longer that person who couldn't do anything, because God has given you something!

There's got to be a change in our ways. Because we are No longer living by the flesh, but by the spirit!

So what's changed in you? What Happened?! lolz! =)

Truth in the Word

hey All!Hows the week been?! Everyone watched Spiderman 3 already?!

i have to admit it was a REally Nice show to watch, i mean...3 villains at once?it's like swallowing a whole cheesecake in one go!!! Yes!lolx!

Anyway, why am i saying this anyway?! Well good on you Davin, you brought it up first.

There Is one part in the show that did disturb me for a moment, and i don't want people to get it wrong.

Remember the scene that the reporter walks into the Catholic Church and asks God to kill Peter Parker? Yes, that is...so wrong.

Lemme get this straight to you, God doesn't just pick people and kill them off just because your life is not going the way u want it to.
Halo..in the ten Commandments, it says 'You shall not murder'. Asking God to kill off someone is equivalent to murdering already.

Listen, God doesn't make u suffer for no reason. You have to be tested, no question. Because God wants a person who lives by the spirit, and not by the flesh.
Therefore, He will bring you into the wilderness!

Deutronomy 8:2 'You shall remember all the way which the Lord your God has led you into the wilderness these forty years that He might humble you, test you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not'

Do You keep God's commandments?!?

Because God has already set out to bless us!
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"

plans not to harm us, but to prosper us. But how in the world can we expect to find victory unless we walk right into it??!

So yes! Just keep that in mind! Because I don't like it when God is portrayed the wrong way in movies and shows, and it's our job to slay the deeds of the enemy.
1John3:8

So if u believe and get through it all, God will bless you back even more.

Anyway, moral story cut short, the guy got into deep trouble anyway.So keep God's commandments! =)

Spread it, people of God! =)

Get Rooted

Hey All! I know it's a little soon to post again another post, but i just read something and I think I might give an opinion anyway.

Elizabeth!Yes! Good, you know this is partially for you then.

In camp, I received a Word from God, something to do la in the future. And His first commandment was so simple...Get Rooted.
There's just Nothing to replace the Word of God in our lives. Nothing. This whole world is in deception, that's why we don't live by the flesh, but by the spirit.

Romans 8:9 "However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him"

u can't call yourself the children of God unless u live by the spirit!

Our everyday lives, our future, why we should do this and that, why we choose to do something over the other, only the Word of God can tell us all that.
When i was a younger christian, i used to ask God, why la why. Why am i always feeling Hyped for God yet sometimes Doubting and fearful.

No root.

No Solid Quiet Time.

No Proper relationship.

Without a strong relationship, you'll keep on wandering the rest of your life.
I'm only Now starting to REally memorize the Word of God.And it's not easy!
But i find as i read the bible everyday, i'm getting to understand more and more what to do if i face a certain situation.

So get rooted ppl! Or how else will people know about the Word of God from you? =)

Trouble Rubble

=) That sounded so lame.

Anyway....I am, like a lot of people i know, having parent issues right now. And is that a surprise?

I've had it easy so far man, and I really wanna support u guys who hold up eventhough your parents are so difficult. But it's time to play smart God's way. =)

I really can't blame my mother for worrying about me, after all, who won't get freaked out when we say we wanna change the world for Jesus??!
O_o

I just didn't want to fight with my mother about it, and just tried to tell her Nicely (so difficult!), to trust me and trust God. (It's not easy to tell her anything at all btw!)

When i come to really think about it, what testimony lies in turning your own parent against u? I Will not be persecuted by my own parent, and i'm Really going to get back at the devil for trying to use my mother!!! Grrr.. *dush*

The word of God says Honour your father and mother in the TEN COMmandments some more! Aiyo!
All i can say to people who also have these problems, start turning to Holy Spirit, who is your closest friend and ask...."WHAT NOW?!"

I wish the right testimony from this. Cuz I'm going all out for God and I really Have no intention of keeping any bonds on myself! Break it in Jesus' name, and start working the way Holy Spirit tells u to.
Do not be afraid! Because God has already sent Holy Spirit to guide us and lead us!

Pick It Up!

haha! Quote from Planetshakers "pick it up" album! =)

Mark 8:34 'And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me"

Fuuuyooo! I have a t-shirt with this verse btw! =)

I was thinking about this verse, then remembered why I'm following God. I have already left my old self behind, and picked up my cross and followed God.
So why look back again?

I'm thankful that I got over my past, because I don't want to look back.
And it's good, cuz now I have a powerful testimony to share with the people of my generation!

I tell u there is no point in looking back, God didn't call someone who runs a race backwards. (ooooOoo...Ps.Sam talked about this in camp!). Who do u set your minds on to? God's or man's?!
Of course God la! We are already the children of God, so we live by the spirit! =D
So Take up your cross, Leave you old self behind, and just Start Running after Jesus!
