From the Inside Out -Hillsong
A thousand times I’ve failed
Still Your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
I’m caught in Your grace
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart and my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out
Lord let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love you from the inside out
bring joy where there is no joy
bring His presence where there is no hope
2 Cor 4:18
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Luke 10:19-2019I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."when i walk with Him in full surrender, authority is given. however, do not take pride in what i can do but understand that it is my privilege and honor for it is not me but the Lord's hand at work ... stay humble.
Luke 23:35-4335The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, "He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One."
36The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar 37and said, "If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself."
38There was a written notice above him, which read:sc THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
39One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!"
40But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he said, "since you are under the same sentence? 41We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong."
42Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."
43Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."persecution in the modern world comes in all forms. is there a need for me to prove myself? bad testimonies on christian behaviour - i hear of that all the time. reading this, i realise there is no need to get upset or react to a "dare". stay still and listen for He knows all and the truth will be revealed. reading this in the morning on my way to work prepared me for a conversation i had over lunch. what can i say to someone who has given up on the human race because of what some close Christian relatives say and how they behave? nothing i can say to change the way he thinks and feels but being there, showing care and concern and keeping him in prayer is what i can do. i am a messenger, an intercessor, a servant for the Lord's work. He will do the rest in His time.
i pray for the bitterness and anger to be taken away and replaced with love, understanding and forgiveness, to soften his heart that he may receive the goodness of all that the Lord has for him. Amen.

"The Heavenly Man" - in the early part of the book, it tells about how a family was saved when the father was cured of some health problems. they were hungy for God's word. however, when the missionaries were taken away and persecution made life tough, many forgot their first love when there were no opportunities for fellowship and there were no bibles for them.
got me thinking...am i ready for persecution? am i strong enough in the Spirit to be away from the church and fellow Christians? i want to be well prepared for when the time comes.
throughout the book, with persecution rampant in China at that time, many Christians had to be really strong spiritually. many were in close union with the Lord because there was a reliance on Him. the blessings and grace and mercy poured out on them were tremendous. miracles and healings and revivals were abound. of course all these came with sufferings but many felt joy and peace in all the tribulations they face. humility, full surrender and reliance on the Lord is all one needs.
was chatting with a friend and got this revelation...
He knows everything and wills all things. It is His will but our choices that determines the path we take to reach our destination.
i see this in every page of the book. no matter how much we resist His will, we are always brought back to His path. let Him lead...

"The Heavenly Man" - a book recommended by my cell group member. it is a true story about the life of a brother in Christ, Brother Yun, and his walk of faith. one quote from the book to share -
"...the grace of the Lord poured out on his life, overflowing as a blessing to many." how many times have we asked for God's grace and mercy? i ask for it all the time. it was a revelation for me that the grace of God is not for us alone. it is for us to receive and bless others. i have never thought of it that way though. this is one quote i will always remember. wow...imagine the grace of the Lord pouring over us so abundantly that it overflows to bless all around us. i want to be the vessel for this to happen. Amen!
"It is not great men who change the world but weak men in the hands of a great God."- in God all things are possible.

For all the wants in this world, we just need one thing - JESUS. For He is the joy, the hope and the peace. He is the way, the truth and the life.
Life is beautiful when you look upwards and outwards instead of inwards and down
Do God's work with no doubt, only faith
Let go of all your burdens and go through the eye of the needle
Colossians 1:27 - "the hope of God being seen in our world is found in you and me..and this is the way God created it.And the hope of God's love being heard is found in the words we speak"
if you remove this, i'll come after you!muahaha
