Our new journey!

It's been awhile, I know! Have not been able to keep this blog up to date for the past one month.

Life has been busy with moving out of our apartment, increased demand at work and preparing for our big move!

Where do I start?? So much happened for the past one and a half month. Hubby finished his degree, it was such a great relief as academia was not his natural strength, he has put in so much effort and hard work into the past four years and finally completed his BA Honours in Business Management. I am extremely proud of him. Praise God for His faithfulness, he knew very well that he could not have done it without His grace and strength. It was such an amazing journey, another incredible story of God's restoration which I would share one day.

We went to Tours, France or a few days to celebrate and chill out post-exams. It was such a great trip, with perfect weather, beautiful people and food :) We stayed at a small but sublime B&B in the countryside called Cangey, which itself is surrounded by picturesque vineyards and bright golden fields.

It was summer break and most students went away travelling or back home to spend time with families and friends. We organised a trip to the Peak District with the church in the homes and despite getting a bit lost, we met an amazing couple who not just walked all the way with us but offer us water and a lift back to the train station! They had to do 3 trips to fit all of us in and their 2 lovely dogs! They were God-sent!

We went to Liverpool to spend some time with my amazing brother and sister in law Judah and Rachel, they are just awesome! So encouraged and inspired by them and all that they are doing for God in the city of Liverpool. We joined them in their street church on Saturday to bring the love of God to the streets in Liverpool and to worship Jesus in the town centre. Many people were blessed, prayed for and heard the gospel of the love and power of God being preached.

Handed the church in the home over to Dami and Lukundo and sent them out to continue to further the work of God in Manchester and to lead His people into the fulness that He has for us! We know they will do a great job, continue to shine in every area of their lives! Their wedding is this Saturday!! Eeeek!!! Can't wait! Looking forward to a great time!

Just been attending a few of my friend's graduation too. It's crazy how time flies. One of my friend who is four years my junior is now officially a doctor! So happy for her! It's such a journey and accomplishment to have gone through medical school and all God's best to her, Dr, Janice Tan! So proud of you! :D

Now two more weeks before we leave this beloved city! It's a big move for hubby as this is his first time moving to a complete foreign country with different cultures and climate. We are both excited at the same time as we know that we are in His plans and purposes and that God will continue to lead us, bless us and be with us wherever we go. We are foreigners on this land anyway so wherever God's will is for us, that is our home :) 


Although am excited to go back to work but still have this sense of not know what to expect. It's good that I will be working in the same hospital so at least I may get used to the system a lot quicker than a complete foreign one. But am trusting in God and depending completely on His strength and His grace. Thank You, Daddy that I can always count on You!


Also praying for the Holy Spirit's direction to be part of a local church so we can continue to grow and to serve the Lord in Malaysia. I believe He has already prepared a place for us there!


So yeah, not sure when will be the next I blog but hope to keep you all updated and do remember us in your prayers! :) 


To God be all the glory, and honour and power and strength! You alone are worthy of all praise :)

Love this song:

Still, I choose to praise Your Holy Name!

It has been such a challenging week. First I was not feeling well. After God supernaturally healed my dysmenorrhea which I very seldom experienced (the pain), He also spoke to me regarding the physical pain the Christ needed to suffer and so we must also be ready to suffer physical pain (1 Peter 4:1) I immediately repented from self-pity and claimed healing in His name and it came almost immediately! The pain was gone!

Then, I was down with flu and fever. Hubby was away for the week so it was quite hard for me to be on my own. I started to feel alone again. As this is the first time we were separated since we are married, I believe God is teaching me to be completely and utterly dependant on Him and not on men. I learned to rely on His strength, His presence and His comfort. I remembered before I was married, the Lord was my sole companion at all times. I was comfortably on my own and enjoying my life with Him. After getting married, I always made sure that He is still my First love regardless of my love for my husband. He graciously taught me that it was glorifying to Him to love my husband whole-heartedly, to love him as He loves him and still love the Lord the same. I learned to be secured in my relationship with Him, that I would not put anything above the Lord.

However, I guess there will be times when this will be tested. I need to make sure that I am still completely and utterly dependant on Him alone and no mortal men, including my husband because it can be easy to lean on someone I can see and touch and hold. It was a refreshing time in His presence, time alone with Him, to talk to Him and to listen from Him.

Then on Friday, I encountered some challenges at work and caused me to be quite emotional and tearful. I wanted to be stronger at times but all I could do was just to let those tears out. I did not realise that when hubby came back on the same day, he was encountering some challenges at work too and he too was a little down. So both of us comforted and encouraged each other. It was not easy but we believe that the Lord has helped us through and strengthened us both individually and and as a couple. He is just so so so awesome.

I do not know where I will be without You, O Lord. I just don't know and I don't want to imagine. Even though life may still be challenging, it is just so comforting to know that You are for me and that You love me, You will never leave me nor forsake me. I want to continue to serve You and to bring glory to You, to enjoy my relationship with You.

Thank You, Jesus. You are always my first Love and in times of difficulties, help me to still choose to praise Your Holy Name!!!

Deuteronomy 8

This is a passage that God spoke to me recently when hubby was reading the bible to me which I also shared it with the CITH, especially to one of our dear friend, Ski who is going away to work in Hong Kong for a year.It is in the NLT and as I read it, I could just feel the presence of God upon me. It's just awesome! So here you go!

A Call to Remember and Obey

8 “Be careful to obey all the commands I am giving you today. Then you will live and multiply, and you will enter and occupy the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors. ² Remember how the Lord your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would obey his commands. ³ Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. ⁴ For all these forty years your clothes didn’t wear out, and your feet didn’t blister or swell. ⁵ Think about it: Just as a parent disciplines a child, theLord your God disciplines you for your own good.

⁶ “So obey the commands of the Lord your God by walking in his ways and fearing him. ⁷ For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land of flowing streams and pools of water, with fountains and springs that gush out in the valleys and hills. ⁸ It is a land of wheat and barley; of grapevines, fig trees, and pomegranates; of olive oil and honey. ⁹ It is a land where food is plentiful and nothing is lacking. It is a land where iron is as common as stone, and copper is abundant in the hills. ¹⁰ When you have eaten your fill, be sure to praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.

¹¹ “But that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the Lord your God and disobey his commands, regulations, and decrees that I am giving you today. ¹² For when you have become full and prosperous and have built fine homes to live in, ¹³ and when your flocks and herds have become very large and your silver and gold have multiplied along with everything else, be careful! ¹⁴ Do not become proud at that time and forget the Lord your God, who rescued you from slavery in the land of Egypt. ¹⁵ Do not forget that he led you through the great and terrifying wilderness with its poisonous snakes and scorpions, where it was so hot and dry. He gave you water from the rock! ¹⁶ He fed you with manna in the wilderness, a food unknown to your ancestors. He did this to humble you and test you for your own good.¹⁷ He did all this so you would never say to yourself, ‘I have achieved this wealth with my own strength and energy.’¹⁸ Remember the Lord your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful, in order to fulfill the covenant he confirmed to your ancestors with an oath.

¹⁹ “But I assure you of this: If you ever forget the Lord your God and follow other gods, worshiping and bowing down to them, you will certainly be destroyed. ²⁰ Just as the Lord has destroyed other nations in your path, you also will be destroyed if you refuse to obey the Lord your God.

He is the Ancient of Days. The One who gives and takes away. His heart is always to bless us and to give the best to us. Our part is just to remember and to obey the One who gives His all to us. He is good!!!!

Worship

On Thursday, we had our amazing Panji and Lina sharing with us about worship. The church in our homes shared with one another what worship is all about. Panji was explaining how worship is not about the 'singing' that we have on a Sunday. Worship is in fact our very relationship with the Living God.


Worship is the surrendering of our every being to the One who knows it all. Worship is acknowledging the One and Only God who loves us and who has given His all to us. Worship is living in the fear and reverence of God,  enjoying Him everyday of our lives.

When our lives get so connected with His Spirit, there is only one of us. We walk and breath and live in His being. We commune with Him to know His heartbeat. We acknowledge His presence in our lives, when we wake up in the morning, when we go to work, when we meet with people, when we rest, when we have fun, you get the idea...every single thing in our live, we can include Him who holds together the whole universe!

I love waking up, thanking Him for another great day and opportunity to bring glory to Him. I love thinking of Him and all that He has done for me and my family throughout these years of my life. I enjoy singing to Him in unknown tongues that magnify the Great and Almighty God who deserves our praises which can't only be declared by words alone. I love strolling on the street singing and talking to Him. I love going on holidays, knowing that there would be so much fun and adventures because He was there with us.

Relationship with the living God is not just on a Sunday morning. It is not only during church in the homes meeting. If I were to only commune and spend time with my husband two times a week, for a total of maximum 6 hours, I don't think our relationship will go anywhere. I like to think of him all the time, spend loads and loads of time with him to know him more and share my thoughts and my life with the one that I love. This is the same with God. Although He is not seen but as we know Him more, He will be more real than any 'real' person that you know on earth. He is more tangible than any concrete things that you could feel only with your 5 senses. Oh, He is beautiful!

Words just can't describe the feeling when we get into a living and abiding relationship with Jesus. When we commune with the gentle and loving Spirit of God who is at the same time possessing the limitless power of God! It's dunamis! You feel like exploding, so to say!

I just love to fall in love with my Lord everyday. More and more I want Him, more and more I need Him, more and more I want to know Him for who He is and share my every detail of my life with Him.

It's amazing how Peter exerts the church to live godly lives because this is how the people around us can see the testimony of God's love in our lives which is greater than words alone. Our lives will be reflected through our relationship with God. If we want to have a great and honourable lives which glorify God, we need to involve Him and worship Him in all that we do.

That is the very act of our spiritual worship as we offer up ourselves as a living sacrifice to God.

"So get rid of all malicious behaviour and deceit. Don't just pretend to be good! Be done with hypocrisy and jealousy and back-stabbing. You must crave pure spiritual milk so that you can grow into the fullness of your salvation. Cry out for this nourishment as a baby cries for milk, now that you have had a taste of the Lord's kindness."

There is a "growing into" our salvation. Salvation does not just end on the day we are saved. We are to grow into the fullness stature of Christ.  This hunger to live a sold-out life for God is our very act of worship to Him who is worthy of it all! :)

Let us continue to worship the Lord our God with all of our lives everyday!

I know He who holds my tomorrows

Our minds are not designed to worry. Worrying is not from God. Our mind is designed to be at peace, to enjoy the awesome knowledge of His love, might and power.

I know how it was to be a worrier. I used to worry a lot - I was just so eager to think about the future, to calculate the possibilities of things in my life and the actions to be taken even before anything actually take place. When a small thing happened, I would be so good to magnify it until it looked so much bigger than it actually was.

Thanks be to God who in His grace and mercy revealed His very self to me and since becoming a Christian, God was dealing and is still dealing with me, patiently teaching me to be at rest and to be at peace in every situation that He allows to happen in my life.

Through suffering, I learned humility and obedience. I realised that by worrying I did not change anything but made things worse and caused people I loved to suffer as well. It does no one any good.

My peace I give to you, my peace I leave with you. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. (John 14:27)

It is very easy to quote this verse to someone who is going through a hard time. When it comes to putting it into practice, I believe many of us find that it is not as easy as we thought it would be.

The truth is, God's word is simple. He means what He says. Unless we decide to let go and let God, we will not be able to experience the peace that He has promised us. When the devil whispered fear and lies, we are to  recognise them and to declare the word of truth against the lies of the enemy. The word of God, the weapon of God has the power to demolish stronghold - even the worrying mind.

God's grace and His manna is sufficient for us for each day that He gives us. It is not meant to be kept for tomorrow. Let's not spend the whole time worrying about tomorrow lest we miss out His grace and provision that He intends for our enjoyment Today!

He who promise is faithful. How many know that we can trust in the God of peace in the time of storm? Indeed, we can!

The power of a renewed mind

Yesterday we have had such an amazing time in His presence, hearing what the Spirit has to say to us as a group.

Personally, God has taught me so much about the power of the mind and my thoughts.
When God forbade Adam to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, it was as if God did not want him to be able to think and to judge what is good and evil. It was as if God did not want Adam's mind to be opened.

However, after reading the scripture again and again, I believe that this was not His original intention. There was a tree of life and a tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God said he can eat from any tree except the latter. This means that God wants Adam to continue to have eternal life, to eat from the tree of life which is the Spirit of God. To know God's presence and to know the life of the Spirit.

I believe that God did not want Adam to eat from the tree because it was not the time for his mind to be opened yet. Adam was innocent but he was also immature. He was still growing in the presence of God and he was not yet the son of God. He did not have an identity as a son. He did not know the will of the Father and this is what God wants Adam to come into before having his mind to be opened prematurely.

God gives us free will from the very beginning. There is always an option to life or death. The first man has chosen the latter and therefore cause the entire human race to disobey God and to have the inclination to run their own lives in their own ways. They were proud in the minds, they were selfish and evil as their minds were darkened and alienated from the knowledge of God who gives the actual breath of life to them.

Before I became a Christian, there were so many wrong mindsets which led me to destruction. I was on my way to eternal death and God in His amazing grace and mercy caught hold of me and since then, I was never the same again!

There are still so many things for me to learn. So many things to unlearn. We all grew up in different background, cultures and upbringing. Many of us have mindset which are so deeply engrained in us that we thought was the truth but when the Holy Spirit revealed to us, I realised there were all pride, selfishness, superstition and fear.

God is so good. He does not give up on us. His original and ultimate intention for us to attain and come into our Sonship, through the power of the Holy Spirit - daily. We are to be transformed through the renewal of our minds. We need to humble ourselves and to have a teachable spirit so that God can continue to complete the good work that He has started in us! Glory to the King!

You are always enough for me

Just finding so much comfort in Your presence right now. Thank You for speaking to me through Angela Hughes' word.

Somehow I have been feeling rather 'down' these couple of weeks. I do not know if it is related to my work which have been quite busy but then I don't think that's the main reason. I have been feeling this sense of 'thirst' in me, that I have been trying to 'feel' You but could not find You. I wondered if something has gone wrong, if I had done something wrong that I could not find You.

Then yesterday during the meeting, You spoke to me that You sometimes hide Yourself so that I would find You. Angela was sharing about a time when she was leading worship and she knew that You weren't there. She was not satisfied and she wondered where have You gone, and why didn't You show up. She said that it was not the time to give up. When we could not find You, that is the time we need to search harder, worship continually, look further and praise more. We must not give up because You are always there and that You want us to seek You and look for You.

I realised that these are all part of growing up in Your presence. When I was a baby Christian, I would ask things like, "God if You do this, then I know it's You or let this happen then I know it's from You." When I grew more in You, these things stop happening. I know it's not because You have left me or that I have backslidden or become less passionate, but it was because You are teaching me to grow up. When I know You more, I don't need confirmation from You. I can hear from You and be confident to know that it's You or not from You. It was scary at the beginning, it's just like when a toddler starts to take baby steps to walk. I may make mistakes, I may fall down and hurt myself but the comfort is knowing that You are never too far. You are like a kind parent who is just a few steps ahead of the child who is trying to walk on his/her own feet. You want us to grow up and to know Your every heartbeat without second guesses.

Just like what Jesus said, You in Him and Him in You. We are to be One with You just as You are One with the Father and the Father with You.

Jesus knew His Father's heart. He does not need to second guess His will. Therefore, He can bring heaven onto earth at any point of time because He knows His Father's will which is in heaven and so He could bring them down onto earth.

This is my heart's desire. This is my sole purpose of life. That is to live everyday in Your presence, to know Your heartbeat, to worship You, to give You my all and to not let anything to come in between our relationship. O Lord, I just need You. I need You. You will always be enough for me....

Your beloved,

Cheng Lu

To find my strength...in You

It has been a really busy couple of weeks. It gets quite busy at the restaurant and I have been working almost every weekends. Plus there were other things that were going on which also take up my resting time.

Rest is so so important. Feel so good just to put my feet up and rest in bed after work today and a day off tomorrow! Hurray! :) I guess since I started working, God has really been stretching me in many ways. He is constantly lengthening my cords and strengthening my stakes. I remember working 90-100 hours/week when I was a houseman. Really not looking forward to starting work but I am thankful that the hours have much improved since I left.

I am grateful to You that despite those really really hard time, You have strengthen my feeble hands and feet. Despite the physically hard work now that I am going through, I felt that somehow it does not seem as a big challenge to me. That is why I believe when I went through the different seasons in my life, there were all there for a purpose. You ever so carefully and gently molding my character, my perseverance and my faith in You. You did not let me burn out.

I really cherish the rest in You. Just knowing Your rest, knowing that I can be at rest in Your presence at all times despite the storms around me. That alone comforts me and gives me strength to keep going. I do not need to strive. I can keep rejoicing in You, praising and thanking You everyday. As I wait upon You, strength arise once again. Thank You, Lord!

Praise You that I can be a testimony of Your goodness and love at my work place. Without You, I would have given up long time ago. I would have been flattened by the pressures of the world. I am still here today, growing from strength to strength because of Your grace and mercy. Thank You, Lord!!!

Looking forward to girls' night tomorrow - ice cream and fellowship! Excited! May all of us continue to find rest in You and be strengthened in every way :)

Do you not know?

Have you not heard?

The Lord is the everlasting God,

the Creator of the ends of the earth.

He will not grow tired or weary,

and his understanding no one can fathom.

He gives strength to the weary

and increases the power of the weak.

Even youths grow tired and weary,

and young men stumble and fall;

but those who hope in the Lord

will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint.

Love You so much, Jesus!

It's the every little thing...(For marriage couples!)

Marriage is in the very center of God covenant relationship with His people. A happy and strong marriage speaks volumes of God's covenant love that never give up on us.

Sadly, in this modern world, marriage is cheap. People get married as soon as they file for divorce. As much as two of them were intoxicated with the 'romantic' feeling which was thought to be love, they fail to know what Love is all about.

Love is about the every little thing. The secret to closeness in marriage (not that I dare to say I know it all) I discover that are not the mushy gushy words, not the shared similarities and interests or the intoxicating sexual union.

Although these gives pleasure but they do not contribute towards the foundation of true love.

It is the everyday thing that we take for granted when we get to know each other too well. Things like caring for one another, being sensitive to one another's feelings, racing to serve one another and respecting each other.

As some say, familiarity breeds contempt. This does not have to be the case in the God-ordained marriage. There are five little things that has helped my marriage and I want to share with others too.

1) Give each other huggies and kisses everyday. Don't be afraid of too much, only afraid of too few. "Hearts may agree though heads differ." I do not know about you, but for me, everytime I get mad, anxious or sad, all I need are not words of comfort or wisdom but a big bear hug. You have no idea how much that would do to comfort the storm within. Not surprisingly, it goes the same for my husband. Even the animals which reflect the nature of their Creator enjoy the physical bond which consequently strengthen the emotional bonds. That is why if you are not married, hands off!

2) Remember the 'small' things!

Be consistent in showing kindness to one another. Go out of your way to serve one another. They are not rocket science, just things like helping to wash the dishes, ironing clothes when your spouse is tired/busy, doing the laundry, helping to tidy the house and take out the garbage. These may sound insignificant but if practiced regularly shall be the pillar of strength later when challenges arise.

3) Don't forget your manners :)

Words like 'Thank you so much', 'I'm sorry' and 'Please' may fly out of the window if you are not intentional with the people closest to us. The best example is our family. I know that I needed to thank my mum and dad, my brothers more and to tell them how much they mean to me. Pride may come in the way or the awkwardness of not having to do it enough as my family was not great in words of affirmation. These words can transform your marriage!

4)Compliment each other

Remember not to take each other for granted. Always tell them how amazing you think they are. We may be so in love or inspired by your husband but sometimes we may forget to tell them what we think. Let them know how precious he/she is to you; how much they mean to you.

'I love you' as opposed to what my Chinese culture say, need to be said in words everyday. Don't believe the lie that love should only be expressed once in a blue moon or that it will lose its true significance. If said from the botton of your heart, your spouse will definitely appreciate it.

Last but not least,

5)Pray for one another

I see the differences when I was trying to work things out on my own and when I surrender my husband to God. We can never help he/she in their struggles or weaknesses without God's help. Don't be deceived that as long as we have done our part, things will happen the way they should. Praying for one another is so important if you want to see God's hand on your marriage.

With God in the centre, we can rest assured that whatever happens, He is in control and that He works all things for good for those who love Him and who has been called according to His purpose.

Be blessed and keep shining in your marriage for the glory of our Heavenly King! :)

What about that boy?

The verse 'do not be equally yoked' has been so instantly quoted whenever a Christian boy or girl wants to go out with a non-Christian girl or boy.

Most Christian children knew exactly what it means and what they should avoid but why are there still so many who are tempted in this area?

When I first became a Christian, I did not know much of the usual do's and don'ts that most of my friends who grew up in Christian families have known. They knew they should not get drunk, they knew that they are supposed to 'go to church' every Sunday, they knew that they are not supposed to gamble or engage in pre-marital sex. They knew all these and yet some can even teach on the topic in surprising fluency. However, when it comes to practicing it, many stumble.

I am not surprised to see many that are seemingly rooted and biblically well-versed are the ones that find it hardest to do exactly what they knew.

Why the common occurrences?

Well, it is one thing to know something and another to own something. Information does not have power to transform someone from the inside out. Revelation however, does.

When a Christian develops his or her relationship with the Living God, he or she will learn the fear of the Lord. They will learn the very heart and nature of their loving Father and learned obedience through denying their own flesh. Jesus learned obedience through suffering and in this case, suffering means passion. It is because of His passion, He was willing to endure and refuse to do 'whatever' He feels like doing.

We can often let how we feel be the steering wheel of our lives. We allow our emotions and reasoning to overtake our conscience and the Truth. We failed to practice what we preach because there were no real revelation of why we were supposed or not supposed to do something. Rather than abiding in the rest of 'being' who we are, we strive to 'do' things to justify who we are supposed to be.

I am thankful to God for His grace and mercy, to help me through my weaknesses and my doubts when I was overcoming my disbelief. I learned to stop playing God. To stop trying to figure out things that I would never understand. To keep holding onto His truth no matter what the voices in the world tell me. To deny my temporary feelings in which will be surpassed by the Truth in all eternity.

Sometimes, we need to stop asking the wrong questions and start agreeing with the right answers. (quoting Reuben Cole)

At times when I did not understand why God did not allow me to go out with that perfect non-Christian boy, years later I came to understand that He makes all things work together for my good. This is because He only has the best for me. Never second best. Oh, how He loves us! :)

Think about what you are thinking about

There is power in our thoughts life.

Everyone of us who is a born again Christian should try to understand what this means.

A thought is like a seed. When we have a wrong thought, we planted the seed. If we dwell in it, we are watering the poisonous seed. If we act according to what we think, we are allowing the plants to grow and take root in our minds. That is why when one is transformed from glory to glory, it is through a process of renewal of our minds.

When we obtained salvation, our hearts become brand new. We are no longer dead in our conscience but became convicted of what sins are and in us birthed a true desire we to be changed.

That is not the end. Our salvation needs to be worked out. This does not mean that our salvation depends on human effort, I am not talking about that we need to strive to be holy, but salvation is the means to an end, not an end in itself. In fact, salvation make it possible for us to be changed and to be transformed to be more and more like Jesus.

It is possible for someone to be saved and yet unchanged for decades. There are many old Christians but they may not be necessarily matured. How long one has been saved does not measured up to how mature they are in Christ.

Maturity comes with transformation through the renewing of our minds. If the Holy Spirit reveals a wrong thought or mindset to us, we need to repent immediately and allow Him to refresh and renew our minds.

Sometimes, when I think about what I am thinking about, I was so shocked at myself and when the Holy Spirit revealed to me how impure my thoughts could be, I immediately renounced them and ask Him to purify my thoughts and help me to align my thoughts to His thoughts.

For we are to have the mind of Christ. That is God's purpose for each and every one of His child.

The battle is not physical, yet there is a battle in our mind. The enemy has no power over us but He can manipulate our thoughts to lead us to self-destruction. He did not even need any power to kill us, he just tricked us into believing his lies which leads to spiritual and even physical death.

Those who contemplated or even eventually committed suicide or decided to commit murder started from a seemingly innocent thought. A wrong thought eventually leads to wrong ideology and ideology is dangerous. Read about the Holocaust, the various extremist religion and political power and you will understand why we should never entertain a wrong thought. It has the power to cause human to self-annihilate.

An unregenerated mind of a Christian is dangerous. They are like what the bible says: "having a form of godliness but denying its power." 2 Tim 3:5 They act religious, the talk religious but when it comes to the purity of their minds, it can be so ashamed that many of them did not even want to think about it.

But I want to encourage you to think about what you think about. Allow the Holy Spirit to help us to uproot the wrong thoughts and plant the new, noble and holy seed into our minds.

Think about what you are thinking about.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. (Phil 4:8)

No doubt!

Don't give up!

Without wavering, let us hold tightly to the hope we say we have, for God can be trusted to keep His promise. (Hebrews 10:23)

I think that is the way to prayers. When we pray, we need to believe that God rewards those who sincerely seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6)

There is a reward for certain, it may not necessarily come as you expect it to be or the time you wanted it to happen, but there is a reward.

Without faith, it is impossible to please God and what is faith? Faith is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen.

So if we have confidence in God, we know that He is real and that He hears those who sincerely seek Him, then we can also be certainly, 100% confident that He will reward us. There is no need to be afraid of disappointment because where faith is, doubt needs to go out of the window.

It's like light cannot exist with darkness. Because darkness is the absence of light.

So if we were to pray and not knowing whether when or how it would happen, that is fine because we can be still expectant God is on the case. However, there is a difference in praying and then not sure if God will actually hear it or do anything it. That is doubt and the good thing is, we can be real with God and tell Him to help us with our unbelief. There are times when I was faced with doubts, I could choose to dwell in my doubts or I can choose to ask God to deal with my doubt.

For the word says: If he ask and doubt not because he who doubt is like the wave of the sea, being blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not he will receive anything from the Lord; for he is double-minded man, unstable in all he does. (James 1:6)

God responds to faith. He is attracted to faith like a bee to honey. This is what Jesus told His disciples:

"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

Do you love yourself?

Many people like to compare themselves with others.

No matter how beautiful, rich, successful, smart and talented they are, they will still think that someone else is better than them. That they want to be like this person or that person. That if only I am a bit taller, fatter, slimmer, bigger eyes, thinner lips and so on and so one. This is the way of the world.

As a child, I often heard comparison and remarks made on me and my peers. People like to compare from heights, sizes, physical looks to academic results. It made me wanted to be someone that others want me to be and not being the unique person that God has made me to be.

I often thought I was not good enough even when I have tried my best. As a reaction to others' expectation, I was determined that I did not want to fall into the typical categories of what others said that I was not.

Even as a child, I was quite stubborn in what I believe as right. Although in pride I thought I was doing the right thing, but I did not realise that deep down, I was just denying the fact that I did not like myself that much. The comments that people made of me did affect my confidence and my self-image no matter how much I had chosen not to believe them.

So even I did not care much of my appearances as I strongly believed that looks did not matter, I did cherish the good comments that my aunt gave me. I remember them until today. Although she is no longer around, I would never forget the compliments that she told me as a child. She told me that I was beautiful and that I was fearfully and wonderfully made in God's image. Of course at that time, I did not know what that meant but I do now.

As a result, I did not really think much about physical appearance. I was determined to see past the superficial because one is not judge by their looks. Up until today, although I am still holding onto the same belief, many of my wrong perceptions have changed (Thanks be to God! :))

I learned what it means to truly love myself and enjoy being me. I no longer need to fight off other people's expectations and comments as I know who I am. Therefore, who I am is no longer determined by the world's standards but by God alone. I do not need to strive to be someone that I am not. God showed me the condition of my heart and helped me to renew my mind. He teach me how to appreciate myself, that looking pretty is not wrong per se and enable me to thank Him sincerely for the look, the height, the size, the outer and the inner person that He has so intricately woven and knitted me to be.

If I hadn't known this, I would not be able to love others sincerely. I was Him that first loved me, that first shown me who I am made to be and how wonderful I am, that I was able to love, cherish and appreciate others. Comparison and superficial judgements are no longer acceptable to me although I still need to be graceful to those who still do.

Thank You, Lord for all that You have done, the wonderful things that You have put in me and on me :) I am Yours and I love Your wonderful masterpiece who is me!

Boast in the Lord!

Jeremiah 9:24 says:

"but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD."

The Lord wants us to boast about Him. He wants us to shout from the mountaintop of His loving kindness and His goodness, to share with the whole creation of who He truly is.

I just think so many people has misunderstood God. When bad things happened, they blamed it to God. Why did this happen if He is good? Where is God when this happen to me? Why did He allow me to go through this if He is real? In their hearts they said bitterly, "There is no God."

Ever since the time in the Garden of Eden that the Serpent, Satan questioned Adam of God's goodness and His Sovereignty, this epidemic has spread to every human being. They have no knowledge of who God truly is. Adam was innocent but he was not matured. He was yet to grow into the full knowledge of who the Almighty, Holy God truly is. He had yet to gain the full revelation of our perfect, loving Father. That is why, he fell into the trap of the enemy.

Up until now, Satan is still whispering lies into the people's minds. He has no power to do any harm, all power and dominion has been given to Jesus Christ but Satan being the Father of all lies still goes around doing what he does best. The worst thing is, people who are like Adam, believed his lies!

Why? Because they do not have the knowledge of the Almighty. It does not matter what you can or cannot do, if we know God, we can be who we have been created to be. We can be who He has called us to be. No fear, no doubt, no uncertainties of what will happen next. Because we know God.

And this is what God wants each and everyone of His children be boasting of. That they knew Him so well and that they can go around telling everyone who He is and demonstrating to them the nature of His love and His power that is within us through the Holy Spirit.

This is nothing about head knowledge. Nothing about Theology, Christology or Pnuematology. It is about a true and abiding relationship and friendship with the Holy Spirit. It is through revelation not information. Information may help us to understand but unless we received it through revelation, our minds will not be renewed and we will continue doing the same old mistakes. Transformation comes through the true knowledge of knowing God and knowing Him through the revelation of the Holy Spirit.

Seek and you shall find. It is not difficult, all we need is a pure heart that truly and sincerely wants to know the Lord :) Trust me, He is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! The GREATEST Person that you will ever get to know in all existence!

The One that my soul longs for...

I am so grateful for all that You have done for me, Lord!

I want my life to speak volumes of Your love, Your goodness and Your faithfulness!!

Let me be the aroma that bring forth Your fragrance of love to the people around me.

Let me be the ambassador that is worthy of the calling that You have purposed for me.

Without You, I live not...

Without Your presence, I breathe not...

Without Your guidance, I move not...

Without Your enabling, I speak not...

Purify my heart and my tongue

Let me be holy just as You are holy

Let my mouth boast only of Your love and Your faitfulness

Speak only of Your blessing and not curse...

For You are God in Heaven

I love You, Almighty One!

I give you my heart completely...

Consume every part of me...

Consume every part of me!

Am so thankful for my amazing husband, my caring and loving family, my faithful friends, sisters and brothers in Christ...and all the blessings that You have so generously poured out onto my lives. All my life, I have seen the faithfulness of the Lord, He will never leave me nor forsake me. His goodness and mercy follows me around. He has destined me for glory and indeed I am His glory. I carry His glory, His goodness to wherever I go. I love You so much!

My heart cries to You:

O Lord, You're beautiful,

Your face is all I seek,

And when Your eyes are on this child,

Your grace abounds to me!

I want to take Your word and shine it all around...

First help me just...to live it Lord...

And when I am doing well, help me to never seek the crown,

For my reward is giving glory to You!!!

You're so so beautiful! :)

(This is) What Faith Can Do - Kutless

Love this song! Keep shining! Keep going! Keep trusting!

Your breakthrough may just be around the corner if you don't give up! :)

Updates

It has been a really busy but productive week! Praise God for more jobs this week which is a blessing to us.

It's been good to be able to sort things out as well, to pack and throw away the things that we do not need. We have now two big boxes ready to be shipped to Malaysia! I hope that is all and if there are any more things left, we will just give them away.

Being very organised, we were also able to finalise the details of our leaving do and were able to send out some texts to families. Will need to do the friends' invitation later this week. We are expecting quite a lot of people for the friends and families leaving do and thankful that we can use the church building for that.

This week is rather exciting too! Need to bake a cake for Love Mum this afternoon. Thinking of marble butter cake. Tomorrow is the Prayer and Fasting day for the whole church which will be awesome! Can't wait for that and just looking forward to soak myself and experience more of God. We don't fast for anything but more of Him, more of His manifest presence amongst His people. God is changing the Church, one relationship at a time :)

Then on Thursday, Dave is coming to film a video of my journey to Christ for the church's website. Glad that I was able to be a blessing in this way - glory to You, Lord!

Panji's birthday on Sat and oh on Friday is the 'Newly married couples' night at Dave and Philippa as well. Will have to see if we could make it as I will be working on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Need to remember that the clock moves forward this Sunday too!

Looking forward to a fun week! Really enjoying of Your blessing, dear Lord! You are so good! My good Shepherd and I shall not want :) Able to bless Louise with the Spa vouchers too and I pray that You will continue to work in her live and one day she will also know Your love for her. Use me, Lord in ways that You see fit. I just want to be a blessing to her and to my colleagues. Thank you for all these wonderful people that You placed in my life. I know that there is for a purpose because there is no coincidence in Your plans and purposes! :)

All glory to You, Lord! I love You!!! :)

Better is One day (in Your presence)

The Dwelling Place of God

God no longer lives in a 'tabernacle', in temple built my men. Ever since the beginning of time, His heart has always been the same, He wants to make His dwelling place amongst His people.

Before sin, God was pictured to be walking and hanging around with Adam in the Garden of Eden. He loves to spend time with His creation. He loves to be in the midst of us, in and around all the things that we are involved in.

Even after mankind sinned against God, He still does not give up pursuing men. Because God is so holy and He is not able to dwell in the same place where sin is abound. Therefore, He told the Israelites to build a tabernacle where He present Himself in the Holy of Holies. The priest who enter the Holy of Holies once a year on the Day of Atonement to sprinkle the blood of sacrificial animals for the sin of the Israelites. The priest even had a string tied around their ankle so that if they carried sin in themselves, they might die in the Holy of Holies and someone will have to pull him out as at that time, apart from the High priest, no one was able to go into the presence of God and still be alive. Wow!

That is truly astounding and every time I think about the time God present Himself amongst us, we can't but bow before the powerful, living God! The most awesome fact is that we can draw near to Him without afraid being struck down dead. It's all because of Jesus, the lamb of the Atonement who has once and for all washed away the ugly sin that is in us.

Sin is not the wrong things that we do as some understand it to be. Sin cause us to have the tendency to do wrong things. Instead of allowing God to have His way in our lives, we say to Him, no, we know better what to do and therefore turned our back to God and decided to go our way. That is 'sin.'

Now that sin is dealt with, God can once again make His dwelling place amongst His people :) It's our responsibility now to make God at home. To ensure that we are holy just as He is holy. To allow Him to move the furnitures around as He thinks fit.

There may be some things that we have been doing for a long time but when God moves in, He decide for us, as He sees please. Even the neatly arranged clothes in our wardrobe and books nicely sat on our rack are at risk of being moved around and rearranged. He is the Master of the house now and He will have His say.

As we allow Him to move things around, throw things out and bring new things in, we are allowing Him to change our lives inside out. We are allowing our mindsets to be completely renewed, the thrash that we treasured to be cleansed, recycled and turned into real jewels. This is God making His dwelling place in our lives.

As He is more and more comfortable, He will increase His presence with us. We will know His manifest presence in a whole new and tangible way!

When I first became a Christian, I didn't even know that God talks. I was just being religious and thinking that I must now try to be a good person. As I allow Him to dwell in me, I realise that He does not only talk, He listens and then He talks and talks! God is a chatterbox! He loves to listen to His beloved children, enjoy to joke with us and even sometimes being cheeky! He is just the most fun person to hang around with! He gradually becomes my best friend! When I did something to disobey Him, He chastises me. Ever so gently and with so much patience and love. I think because He knows that I respond better with gentleness :) He knows me so well :)

That is when we allow God to make His dwelling place in us and amongst us. Miracles, signs and wonders are just natural phenomena. I guess that is why some people thinks that Christians are schizophrenics! We are in a good way, as we do hear the voice of Holy Spirit, not persecutory voice which is from the devil but gentle and encouraging voice full of love from our most loving Father :)

Lord, my heart is to know Your presence more. Not just to say that You live in me but to actually recognise this fact, to live in this reality and to experience more and more of You. Lord, without You there is no meaning. With You, I have everything! More of You Lord, none of me!

Life under an open heaven

Every Christians can choose to live under an opened or closed heaven. When Jesus died on the cross, the curtain in the temple was torn into two. There is no more barrier between us and the Father. We can come into His presence at all times.

The Heaven is already right wide opened for us and yet many choose to believe otherwise. Some sees it through their own experiences and therefore preach from what they have seen naturally and not with their spiritual eyes.

We need to preach the truth not our experiences. God is bigger than what we go through in this world and His word is the Truth (Jesus Christ). Truth is not a statement of faith, it is not a testimony of life, instead Truth is a Person. He is the One who has been give all authority on heaven and on earth. No one comes to the Father except through Him.

Many Christians are still battling their own demons that they believe have power over them. The reality is, all authority on heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus Christ and be made known to the world through the Church. Christ has been seated far above all rule and authority, power and dominion.

However, sometimes we still choose to agree with the lies of the devil. We choose to life a defeated life when we can have a victorious one. Again, false humility does seem to be good sometimes as we seek comfort from our experiences and our intellect rather than in God.

Some may question, but why is there still disease and deaths? When my beloved aunt was battling with Stage IV bower cancel, I refused to believe that is it. I prayed in faith, I fasted and held onto the promises of the Lord. When she died last year, only one day after my wedding celebration in Manchester, I doubted if the word told me was true. I went through a period of seeking God and asking Him why did He not show up. Why did he not heal my aunt who was an amazing woman of God, who loves God and who told us about Jesus.

The Holy Spirit just comforted me and told me to focus on what He has done and what He is doing and not the things that He did not do. It is so true because often, many of us can get bounded by the past, by that one thing in our life which we do not see a prayer answered and neglected the whole loads of uncountable blessings that we have received. However, in God's eternity, everything will eventually falls into their perfect places.

We do not have to worry about the things that has yet to happen or things that did not happen despite our sincere fasting and praying. He heard all our prayers and He still hears them.

The truth is that we are living under an open heaven and we should not give up until we see the fulfilment of all things that God has promised. We must not let our experiences stop us from continuing to experience more of Him and to see what we thought as impossibility to become a possibility!

Learning to dance with the Father

Dancing is a beautiful art of expression. It is not the area that I 'fare' well in however. It requires very good motor skills, rhythmic movements and certainly synchronization if you were to dance with someone else. It is not for a solo performer. One cannot just do what they feel like doing especially when they are engaged in a dance with a partner. They move beautifully and in sync with his or her partner. They hear each other's heart beat and see with one eyes. They knew when to turn and which way to step forward. It definitely requires a lot of freedom and confidence to dance, especially if one is to dance in front of many people.

There is an invitation to dance from our Father in Heaven. This I cannot say no but humanly speaking, I did think, can I truly dance? Will I be able to move in sync with His Spirit, every step He move, to hear the sound of His heartbeat, truly expressing all that I am, trusting and clinging to Him and allowing Him to lead me to take the unknown steps to do things that I never imagined doing?

Perichoresis is a Greek word used to describe the triune relationship between each Person of the Godhead. Its root word peri-choreio literally means to "dance around." It is this picture of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit dancing together in the Godhead. They are moving in complete harmony, unity, in step with one another. Alister McGrath in his book wrote, "it allows the individuality of the persons to be maintained, while insisting that each person shares in the life of the other two."

It is a term to describe a community consisting of many people, while maintaining each distinctive identity, 'penetrates the others and is penetrated by them.'

This has always been the essence of the Godhead. The church is the body of Christ to reflect this harmonious dance of the Godhead. We are a community of God's people living together in total harmony, our lives opened to one another, sharing and caring with one another without barrier or hypocrisy. Our heart and our lives is completely poured out for one another, to love and to serve one another, dancing with one another.

Jesus last prayers to the Father for us is so that all of us may be one, just as Him and the Father is One. (John 17: 20:23)

"My prayer is not for them (the 12 disciples) alone. I pray also for those who will believe (us Christians) in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You. May they also be in us so that the world believe that You have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one. I in them and You in Me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you loved me."

What a prayer! Do we now know our beloved Saviour's heart?

It is not easy to dance with strangers. It is impossible to get the first dance right with someone that you have not danced before. Often the very good dancers knew each other very well. They spend time practicing and dancing with one another before the day of their performance. Although they are two separate individuals with different styles but uniting those differences enables them to create the graceful dance moves.

God is inviting the whole church to dance with Him. We need to learn to first dance with the Father and with one another. However, not everyone is ready. Some is not in the mood of dancing, some forgets their dancing shoes, some feels too insecure and ashamed to take the hands of their Father.

You see, often we place too much emphasis on our own's ability and we forgot that God does not care. All He wants is us, is me, is you. He does not care if we have not got our dancing shoes, how we feel or how good we will be. He is not afraid of us stepping onto His toes. He will lift us up and He will lead us with Him as we just let go and allow Him to take the moves.

We will all learn to dance for there is wedding which is soon to come. The Bridegroom has reserved the first dance for the bride. Let us all prepare and be ready for that glorious day!

The life of the Kingdom

The Life of the Kingdom is not for the faint-hearted.
Christians are not men and women who are weak and needed to depend on God. Rather, the difference is that they know the Source of their strength and power.

They are not depended on their ability, cleverness, talents, intellectual abilities but in all these, they exchange for a better and bigger reality than their own tiny lives.

Elijah is a powerful and anointed prophet of God. He lived a solitary and I believe often a seemingly lonely life. He has given his all to the Almighty God and yet the world that he lived in was not too kind to him. It was a world of injustice and poverty. He had to see people eating their own children, they were so poor that they were eating donkeys' head. Maybe he questioned why were all these injustice despite the existence of a real, benevolent, all-powerful and al-mighty God that he knew so well.

Living for God is not necessarily a smooth, trouble free life. I believe many find it even harder as compared than before they were called by God. They may be doubts, uncertainties, things that we would never understand and that really challenge our faith in Him.

Many great men and women of God were greatly inflicted physically or emotionally as they whole-heartedly serve God. Many were even killed during the process.

Why did this happen? Why would someone still willingly serve the Lord when they knew that what they get in return may not be the good and wealthy life that the world may expect?

The have seen a reality, bigger and more real that life itself. They have seen into the heavenly reality. They have decided to not to live selfishly and to indulge in transient pleasure of this passing life. They realise that what they are going through here and now on earth is nothing compared to the surpassing glory that they will receive in the eternal presence of God.

That reality, if men and women failed to see, would often walk themselves into depression, bitterness and self-pity for life, even as a Christian may not always seem to go all rosy and well.

Only the meek (acknowledge their Master) but strong (in faith) men and women will inherit the promise of the kingdom. For they know everything and all things are in the hands of the Lord who owns Heaven and Earth.

Despite all these, the Lord promises us:

"The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." (Deuteronomy 31:8)

"But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded." (2 Chronicles 15:7)

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."(Joshua 1:9)

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.(Isaiah 41:10)

What a mighty God we have! We are able because He is able :) Glory to God!!

Friends, Food and Fellowship!

Have had an amazing time with Jaz tonight. She invited Norbert, hubby and myself to hers for dinner.

It's so great to see all that God is doing in her life. The first time I met her a year ago and the now that she is, you just cannot deny that God is truly amazing and that the work that He has started, He will bring it to completion.

She has been through a difficult life but God has restored so much and is continuing to restore in her life.

She is healed of depression, got a job at the church office after she has been searching for one for ages, baptised in the Holy Spirit, serving in the worship ministry, stewarding, serving tea and coffee and being such an encouragement to so many others as well.

The amazing thing about her is her child like faith and her soft heart. She is so teachable and so willing to listen and to learn. I believe that is one of the reasons of the amazing acceleration of spiritual growth in her life. The amount of revelation that she receives is just awesome! It's so refreshing to see her growing into all that God has for her.

I pray that God will continue to bring into completion the good works that He has started in her. She reminded me to continue to pursue the things of God and to have the child like faith that we need to have in our walk with our Father.

It's sleeping time now as I need to work early tomorrow morning. Thanks darling for ironing my working clothes :) They look immaculately straight! You are such a blessing in my life! I love you!!! :)


Thank You, Lord for a good and restful day. Your joy is my strength! Good night, Father :)

Your child,
Nat

There is more!!!

It was such an incredible time together with the church in the homes last night. Tim did a great job leading us to seek His face. To press into the presence of God. To still our soul to listen to His voice.

The presence of God was so thick and people could not but be moved by His Holy Spirit. Some were just crying, some who has never prophesied, started prophesying, prophetic songs were flowing...it's just...incredible! This is what we have when we surrender our agenda to exchange for the Holy Spirit's agenda.

Our amazing Lukundo shared a really good message about listening to the voice of God. She started off by saying, first and foremost, God loves us. He speaks to us from a place of love and not just to tell us what to do and what not to do. He wants commune with us.

In the very beginning back in the Garden of Eden, God was walking in the cool of the garden with Adam. He was communing with Him, fellowshiping with Adam and that is His very intention in the first place. To have a relationship with His people, to walk with them and them with Him.

God speaks all the time. The problem is whether I am listening and even when I did, do I obey His voice. That is the core of the message yesterday. I remember as I was learning to hear His voice, it was so exciting. Every prayer I prayed, almost all of them were answered immediately. I wanted to know something and the answer came to me almost instantly. I was completely blown away by how real God is.

Looking back now, I realise that He was teaching me how to hear His voice. It is so true that Lukundo said everyone started somewhere. The prophets learn to hear the voice of the Lord. Like Samuel, he grew in the presence of the Lord. He learn to dwell in His presence, to listen to His voice and to learn to obey the Lord.

My journey has been an amazing one. God has taught me so much and despite times and times again I may argue with Him or disobey His voice, He still did not give up on me when I repent and turn my face back to Him. I learn to listen rather than speaking all the time. I learn to obey Him even in the craziest things that I would not imagined myself doing without Him like praying for a crippled man in the middle of my working shift in front of my colleagues, telling a dodgy looking man that God loves him and then realised that he was thinking of ending his life and was so thankful that I reminded him that, sharing on buses and on streets, bringing words of wisdom and knowledge to people that I have never met before. It was scary but altogether awesome, I must say.

It is just so exciting that our God wants to speak to us, and He wants to speak to us all the time. Of course a lot of people are worried when we mentioned about God speaking and reminded us that we need to make sure it is God and not some other voices. To be able to do that is to know His word inside out. To familiarise with His very heart and His will.

The Holy Spirit in us helps us to know His heart. For who knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God? (1 Corinthians 2:11) We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit of God so that we can understand what God has freely given us.

Paul went on and said, who can know the mind of the Lord that he can instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ. (verse 16)

This is just mind-blowing! We are not just been given the Spirit of God but we can also have the mind of Christ so that we can know what God is thinking and act according to His plans and purposes, to be His hands and His feet, His mouth, His eyes and His ears in this world. We can instruct Heaven and all that is bound in heaven will be bound on earth and all that have been loosed in heaven shall be loosed on earth!

That is the heart of our God. He wants us to be One with Him as Christ is one with the Father and that can only happen when we are one with Him in the Spirit.

As I look at the acceleration of His kingdom all around the world, my heart is just bursting with excitement. The future is bright. He is rising a generation that seeks His face, the God of Jacob.
Who knows Him and is one with Him.

We are such a generation that seeks Your face O Lord, we want to know You more. More than ever, more than yesterday, more than every encounter that we have had. I need You MORE!!
