Living the Word
James2:22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror 24and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.
How does a person, who looks into the mirror feel?
When you dunno how you look like, how do you carry yourself in society? Do some of us put our heads down, thinking we are ugly, or do some of us lift our heads too high up, being proud at what we do not know.
It's the same with the Word of God, if We just read it and not live it- we dunno how to carry ourself in Society! We dunno how to how should be like- do we lift our heads up? or put it down? We are just doing it based on our assumptions, but never knowing the real truth. But reading the Word of God, And Living it- We Know what is Truth- we Know how we should be like in God's light!
We don't base our actions on assumptions, but on the Word that we've read and known! So we should live the Word of God- not just let it run through our heads!
So let's go Live!!!=)

From the Beginning till the End
Isaiah 46:10 I make known the end from the beginning,
from ancient times, what is still to come.
I say: My purpose will stand,
and I will do all that I please.
God is so good, he didn't just create us, and told us.."Oke, you start here, and I'll be waiting for you at the end.."O_o
No! God is with Us from the very beginning! Step by Step, Word by Word, Troubles after troubles! He didn't just wave Baiiiii...i'll see you at the other end!
No! The GReater Reward is there, but is there ever an end? Don't u realize everytime you achieve something, God says.."There's More! There's More! Cmon i'm with You All the Way!!!"
So don't look at God like He's so far away, so distant that it'll take you forever to reach-
no...He's Already there, beside you! From the Beginning till the End!!! =)

Beautiful Saviour
Hebrews 7:26Such a high priest meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. 27Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.
Hebrews 9:12He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption
Oh Wow!! i think Jesus is Such a Beautiful Saviour! When He died on the cross, the love that poured Forth, It cleansed the sins of the nations, generationa after generation.
Hebrews 10:4because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
You see, Jesus didn't have to offer sheeps and cows and what have you - He understood the power of a Sacrifice!
People may sacrifice a thousand goats, or a thousand Cows- i dunno, God asks for the weirdest stuff, But- A thousand Cows and goats, what worth are they?Goats and cows don't cleanse sins, they don't Change a nation, they Don't bring eternal life......But When JEsus Walks into A Person's Life, Wow!
he'll never be the same again! When Jesus Touches us, We experience the Love that we have longed for, the Hope that we search for! When He PLaces His hands upon us, The Power of HEaling Comes through!
When You stand, Tall trees and mountains bow,
When You speak, the fiercest of the oceans is still, ~Devotions/Hillsong
See, When He stands, The Proudest of the Proudest BOW Down,
When He Speaks, the Fiercest of your emotions, your problems, lay still...
This is the Sacrifice- not bulls or goats- No! But Jesus, The Only Sacrifice that was Worth to save us! This is our Beautiful SAviour! He came and Gave us a direction!
Jesus, Beautiful Saviour,
God of all majesty,
Risen King,
Lamb of God,
Holy and righteous,
Blessed redeemer,
Bright morning star...

God never wants to hurt us
I was at work today and I was thinking about God and the things he does for us and the questions i hear from people who don't know God or Christians who ask why does this happen to me? why? why God why?
I remember i was so angry with God when i was playing Golf, and i think i was blaming God for my golf... and i said I hate you God... and sometimes i use to blame God about this and that...
The thing is...God Never wants to hurt us... God always wants to help us... God loves us so much...
But then people will ask questions like if he doesn't want to hurt us? then why did God put me in this hard decision? why did God put me in this ? why? why?
You see we might be lacking in something, or we might need to feel it to learn and to realise it... God will never just put us in that situation randomly... there is always a purpose... we just can't see it small but look at the big PICTURE...
Well i will tell you a story... hehe when i was younger =p I remember that my dad asked me to read a story book and i was reading a bed time story... I was lazy to read the story... and it actually was a short story,then a little while later... I told my dad that i have finished reading it and he asked me what it was about. There were pictures of a bears on that page... so i made up the story using the bears... then when my dad read it... HEHE it was not about what i said at all... so CONCLUSION: BERNIE LIED! my dad was so angry with me... he locked me out at the back of the house- cant's remember how long i was there for but yeah it wasn't the whole night hehe... So there I was at the back of my house... and I was so sad... thinking WHY DOES MY DAD DO THIS TO ME... WHY!!! he is so mean! horrible... BUT u see the lesson i learned from it... was DON'T LIE... don't make up stories that aren't true... if that was too never happen... I may not learn that lieing is so bad... Even though it caused sadness in my heart and abit of suffering which was being lock outside the house... if you see the BIG PICTURE... THAT WAS never to hurt me... but to teach me which would then lead to making me a better person... Sometimes when i was younger... i get so angry at my parents on why they have to spank me haha =p yES YES i got spanked =p hahaha and i would be so angry with them but now when i look back... It's cause they want the best for me... BUT questions might be asking... how can that be the best for you when it involves spanking? the big picture is that it is a step closer to learning to be a better person... but people might say? but why be a better person when i can break rules and live wild?Who cares about how we treat people? it's not like they care about me too... This world is in a mess anyways...
My parents... they want the best for me... they would sacrifice so much for me... Like my mum... she is the best mum I could ever ask for... when we go shopping... she would try to meet my needs more than her needs... she thinks of me first... she wants the best for me... she cooks the best for me... she tries to make me happy... but yet she is strict and draw lines for me in what to do and what not to do... but it's not to pull me down and make me unhappy but it's to avoid me from danger, from getting stuck in temptation that may harm me...
so when we relate this to God... he does so much For us... he sent his ONLY SON FOR US... HOW AMAZING IS THAT? his ONLY SON... All the things God does... is not to hurt us at ALL... not to make us in trouble at ALL... not to put us in a mess AT ALL... God is always there to hear us... 24/7... God is here to help us 24/7... God is here to listen to us 24/7 God is here to lead us and teach us 24/7... God is here to protect us 24/7... nothing he DOES IS TO HARM US...we have to put our faith and trust in him... God wants a relationship with us... He never condemns us... he forever LOVES US... he just wants us to speak to him.. he just wants us to say God I love you... God I want to serve you... People may say... why do we have to serve God? why do we have to honour God? the answer is that because God is almighty... he is the KING OF KINGS... yet God is so humble... he bless us with so much... he brings miracles to our life... he is not the snobby king up in heaven but he is the king who wants to help us... he is the God that is friendly... he is the God who is funny... HE IS THE GOD who wants the BEST FOR US... THE BEST FOR US... he is FIRST CLASS... He is not the king who does NOTHING ... but HE IS THE KING WHO WILL FOREVER GUIDE US, WHO WILL FOREVER WATCH OVER US...who is forever doing something and not just sitting up there... HE WILL FOREVER listen to us... He will forever never BREAK his promises... and MOST IMPORTANTLY HE WILL FOREVER LOVE US... HIS LOVE IS SO STRONG... THAT NO ONE ON THIS EARTH can Loves US AS MUCH AS HOW GOD LOVES US... He is not the king who just sees everyone as the same and not valueable... but he IS THE KING THAT SEES US AS VALUEABLE AND SPECIAL..We serve him because he is our awesome KING.....
Remember whatever we encounter in our life whether it is good or bad... THERE IS ALWAYS A PURPOSE AND THAT PURPOSE IS NEVER BAD... it may seem bad because our heart would feel like it's being torn... but LET'S ALWAYS LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE... God is always teaching us something... like in this verse it says : 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.
God knows the plans for us... no matter what type of situation it is... IT IS NOT TO HARM YOU... AND PROSPER... just like my lieing story... locking me out - at that moment seems like it was harming me... BUT it wasn't because it was actually letting me feel how what i did was bad and made me not want to repeat. If my parents decided not to punish me... I could be adapting that as my habit... but then ppl might say but you were still young... well it starts from young doesn't it? if i continued... that would grow which would lead to a mess... which would lead in to who I would turn out to be... To also answers the question earlier about why should i be a better person if i can break rules...it would be because we will never get forever happiness by breaking rules and living wild it strongly brings temptaion to win over us, it WOULD lead to Sin and it would lead US to be friends with the devil AND LETTING THE DEVIL WIN over us from God... and WHO WANTS TO BE WITH THE DEVIL WHO BRINGS SUFFERING? and it would make US a step closer to HELL! who wants to GO TO HELL? not me!!!!!!!WE CAN'T LET THE DEVIL DEFEAT US!
That's why God sometimes brings hard experiences for us to feel because it will then lead us in to GOODNESS AND dependence on him...Sometimes God gives me different situations yet the things i get out of these situations are the same lessons i learn... he gives these to me because I am probable repeating it so he wants me to really put that stop to it forever and not just for the presence... THE BEST PART IS... he doesn't leave us alone... but he provides all that we need to succeed this which will help us to have a closer relationship to GOD... gOODNESS AND liviNG For God WILL LEAD US to FIRST CLASS... WHICH WILL then make God happy... which will then be a step closer with a GRAND ENTRANCE to Heaven...IT WILL ALSO IMPACT PEOPLE'S LIVES through the way we live and be able to Show God's love through this... God is a God who is GREAT... HE LOVES US that he blesses us with so MUCH... HE is our provider... he will never leave us.
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. This is the NLT VERSION

Step into Victory!
Hebrews 6:18God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. 19We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, 20where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
this verse is Amazing!! it's fantas! it Says that Hope is our Anchor,Holding on to what is Promised!
People say Hope is frail,NO! It's Not!
You don't drop a feather of a ship to anchor it down, it's Strong! It's firm and secure!!!And it takes us into Victory! where Jesus Went before us!
This is what turned my life around last year, I didn't realize that the Battle before me was won, and all we have to do, is just Walk right into It!

There's gotta be More!
Hebrews 5:12In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! 13Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
What is my milk?What is my solid food?
Yea yea, i know that God is almighty, that Jesus came and gave me salvation. But there's just More! It's not like waking up every morning anymore saying, yeap, today is another day i shall not sin, i know that Jesus is my saviour.
NO! Enough of milk, it's time to go beyond that! It's time to wake up every morning and say Wow Lord how do you want me to please you today? What extra step of faith should i take today?! How will you use me today? Will i get closer to my miracle today?!?!
Oke I kNow most of you Watch Doctor House: So I shall use it to illustrate!
Dr.Foreman fell reallly sick and finally he did get treated, after almost dying. And when he came back for work, he wasn't the challenging doctor he once was, he was just happy 'living'.
But House said, he doesn't Need a doctor that's just satisfied with being Alive! No! It has to be more than that!
So, You Cannot Just be satisfied Being Saved By JEsus! NO! I wanna be A person who Changes Lives!!! Not just hi bye people!!
You know God is everywhere, but He doesn't want to be just 'everywhere', he wants to Manifest into your Life!!!
And this furnishes to be a weapon! because of CONSTANT Use, shall you differentiate the good from the evil!
So don't just 'live life', we are not called to exist, but called to God. =)

Let's put God in our main focus =)
Growing in faith
2 Peter 1:3-11
3 By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. 4 And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires. 5 In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.
8 The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins.
10 So, dear brothers and sisters,work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Do these things, and you will never fall away. 11 Then God will give you a grand entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
When i think about it ... God really has given us all the things we need to live a Godly life... but the question is whether we use it and put the main focus to God... because too many times especially for me... I would take God for granted and he would be somewhere at the back of my important list, and then I would get trapped in worldy things or human desires... and when i realise it, or when things go downhill, I will then say... God I want to hear from you, and God i want you to lead me out of these human desires... BUT I realise that sometimes even though I would want to hear from God or actually God HAS already spoke to me BUT because He is at the back of my importance list, I won't be able to hear him. which then makes me ask myself this question, how would i be able to hear from God, how would i be able to grow? how would i be able to know more about God IF I don't make that effort to hear him or respond to him?The answer would be: I won't be able to because he is not in my main focus... and only when I don't feel God's presence or when things start to go downhill I will cry,blame and ask God and actually... all along GOD was always there talking to me and waiting for my response... It's just that because I don't put him first, and because I don't make that effort to hear from him, I won't be able to hear from him .
So we should put him in the top of the important list, make every effort to respond to him and take away those human desires, BUT the amazing part is, because of God's promises, he has enabled us to escape the world's corruption caused by human desires... HIP HIP HOORAY TO GOD... he is awesome!
If you want to feel how God feels sometimes:
just imagine... the person you love so much and would do pretty much anything for them... and that person knows how much you love them and they do love you too but at times they put you in the background... how would you feel? sad? hurt? but for God... his love is so much till we can't even love the person as much as how God loves us... that is how much he loves us...
God has given us so much. we shouldn't let the things in this world come between us and God. He is our saviour, He loved us so much that he sent his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins... he has blessed us with so much that he doesn't deserve to be put in the background...
At times it is hard, but we should constantly remind ourselves about what are we here for and the things that God has blessed us with...
We are so special to him, even though we are sinners, he still loves us unconditionally, he doesn't give up on us, he still wants to lead us and guide us, all he wants us to do is to make the effort to respond to him and be obedient to him... so LET'S NOt put him in the background but put him as our main focus.
and LET'S make every effort to respond to God and let's INCREASE our faith...
Let's us not be the ones that fail, Let us not be the one that is shortsighted or the ones that gets blind... but let's prove that we have been called and chosen by God... even in the bible, it says work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen.... so it's sort of saying that it won't be easy and the devils will try it's best to defeat us but if we read Jeremiah 15:20
20 They will fight against you like an attacking army,
but I will make you as secure as a fortified wall of bronze.
They will not conquer you,
for I am with you to protect and rescue you.
I, the Lord, have spoken!
Jeremiah 15:20
it says: They will not conquer you,
for I am with you to protect and rescue you.
I, the Lord, have spoken!
GOd is with us SO THE DEVIL WILL NOT DEFEAT US...
oh and ya!
I like the last part in 2 Peter 1:10-11, about how it says if we do those things that was mentioned in verse 5-6, we won't fall away and God will be giving us the grand entrance...That will be so EXCITING... the grand entrance in to the eternal Kindgom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ...
Who wants that grand entrance? put ur hands up
hehe ME ME ME... Bernie puts up all her two hands up and even her two feet up =p
By the way this is Bernie... I will be posting some of theentries in Jovial's amazing blog- For the cause of Christ =)

How la Now?O_o
Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. 16Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
This is Amazing!! How Can We Not Stand in awe of Jesus, when He, who was the son of God did the most amazing thing Ever!
As If it's not Bad enough he didn't have any 'divine' powers on earth, He Experienced the Same Temptations, Same Trials, Same Situations, Same Type Of people...But What was so Different about Him? He Knew when to call upon the Name of the Lord, for grace and Mercy in His time of needs!
I just gotta Cry Out! Lord! There's More!!
Jesus never settled for Anything Less! instead of giving a Drop of Blood for our sins, He gave His Life!!! Now that's Style!!!
but i want us to get the Power that Jesus depended on, God!
Let us Approach, with Confidence! So That....So That We May RECEIVE grace and mercy in our times of Need!!!! O_o
Now i don't want any of us to hold back on our revelations! Because there's always More!More of your spirit Lord! More of your power!!!

Victorious!!!
2Thess1:3 We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing
2Thess3: 5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance.
Now, the first verse tells me that GOd is into Growth! He's so into growth! the christian life is about Living a Life with God, and Growing in Love and Faith! It must be filled with Revelations!
There are 2 types of Christians! The Christians and the Victorious Christians!
Many months ago i read this book by Ps.Jean Lim(living by the spirit) and it opened my mind so much!!!
Going to church on Sundays, going to cell group, praying..yea yea-that's a christian. But Always seeing CHange, Always taking a step forward, receiving the anointing of the Lord, seeing miracles happen in our lives...
That's a victorious Christian! It's such an exciting Life!
This is not a Plot Driven Story for us On Earth, where situations drives the story forward, but it's a Character Driven story!
We Grow and receive revelations, and that's what people get fascinated about!!!
and How does God direct us into His Love?
Well, as i Asked, it came to me that, to Know God's Love, we Have to Experience God's Love.How?! By Trying to Share the Same Heartbeat that He has for his people!!!(i did find a verse for this, just can't rmb where). How is God's love for the people?!! That's when we get directed to His love, because we Know what is it about, we know the sacrifices involved, we Know the revelations we get from it!!! O_o
So Are we ready to be victorious christians or What?! O_o =)

Kill the Cow, Burn the Plough
This was a sermon that Ps.Matt Fielder delievered yesterday at DNA, because it's so awesome, i must share it with you!
1Kings 19:21 So Elisha left him and went back. He took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his attendant.
There's something Amazing about Elisha! He's a go getter! He's a risk taker!
Why?! Because he Burned all his Backdoor Opportunities!
He killed the oxen and burned the Plough! Bai bai! there goes my old life, and i'll NEver Go Back again!
You See..He doesn't think "oh if following Elijah doesn't work, then Maybe i'll go back to ploughing"
NO!
If we all constantly have Backdoor opportunities in Our Lives, we'll never succeed in God's calling for us!!!!
All yOu Have to do is Just Run ahead, Kill the Cow, and Burn the Plough!

Flesh vs Spirit
2tim2:25Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.
As i read this passage again, i remember that the battle i have is not of the flesh, but really of the spirit!I mean, i sometimes find it so difficult to connect with some people, and They Reallly Make me Angryy!!! Grrrrr!!!!!!!
But 1.God says treat them gently and the best part is 2.In Hope
A lot of people always Give up on people! That's probably no.1 thing to give up on! if i give up on a game, or a puzzle, or an assignment..i can always come back to it knowing it'll be just as i left it. But with People, it's Not!!
O_oWhen there's been a quarrel,or hurt, or anger going on, it doesn't just Stay as it is! it pulls further and further and grows Bigger! So i can no longer 'go back to where i stop'...but something has been created there already. a sense of wrongness! it's the spirit that's been hurt.If i'm gonna win a soul, i gotta have to get through to the spirit.!!! ><

Pride(of lions?O_o)
1tim6:4he is conceited and understands nothing.
Well to me la, pride is the Most horrible thing. not only does it affect ppl around us, it affects ourselves. Pride stops me from learning, pride stops me from receiving. And pride stops us from understanding what the gospel is speaking. what this guy was conceited about is not the problem here, it's that because of Pride, he didn't get what was the bible telling him. he stopped learning.
in fact when i went to planetuni camp, and i told God pls teach me how to write songs for this nation. He gave me 3 conditions n the last one was be humble. at first i was like...WHat? be humble? what has That got to do with anything? it has something to do with Everything. it's a barrier that we put up ourselves. so i had to learn to bring it down, and say i throw down my crown b4 you Lord! ><
