Ever be filled-walk in His fullness

Grace to you , God’s beloved! 

I think I was awakened by the thunder early this morning at about 4 plus. Hee~ Still wondering whether it was the thunder that woke me up or whether it was He that use the thunder to wake me up to speak to me. I felt so alive then that I had to ask Him to help me get back to sleep.Keke.And I had one of the best sleep ever. Even now I find it difficult to come out with words or even remember them=)

It was a passage I was reading in a book my fren present to me a few days back. A scripture we are all familiar with but the simple truth He laid for me was just so powerful. In Ephesians 5:18-20, it says that the key to being filled with the spirit is to sing songs and make melody in our hearts and also to give thanks always.

Have you experienced a time when you suddenly felt lousy and down for no apparent reason, but after you toke out one the christian cds to listen, you felt good again. The feeling left and now you feel the love of God in you? It has happen many times to me or rather it is something I do each time when I'm feeling down.

Recently,I had been unconsciously listening to songs more than i used to(to church, to shops, at home)Basically during most of my waking moments?Hee. If not on MP3, it would be on my player at home.More so during the period I receive my MP3 player=) And i didn’t really know the impact it had on me until He reminded me this morning. Then if this verse is true, and it IS, when you listen to songs and make melody in your heart you are continually receiving the life in you- the continual in filling of the Holy Spirit in you. Then He told me this-When you are filled, you walk in the FULLNESS of God! I want to be in the fullness of God. Later, He reminded me another thing. There was not a day I was feeling down since I started listening. I was always full of the joy of the Lord in me that it becomes evident to the ones around me. A few of my collegues in my last attachment even said “You are always happy. We’re going to miss your smile when you leave=)”

Not only was I filled with joy, I was practically walking more and more in the His divine favor in my life.

Then I went over to check the meaning of fulness in Thayers.

Eucharis, also Thanksgiving

It's been awhile since I last update my multiply.Good things are just happening more and more each day.And each day I grow to love Him more.

I thank the Lord for His abundance of favor and goodness over my life for my last attachment. I hope that what I’ll be sharing later on how God has blessed me will be a blessing to you too=)We have a Big God. Amen.

Do you really believe that God’s favor is all you need?

Do you really believe the one thing needful? And that is to sit at Jesus feet and hear His Word daily.

Do you really believe that faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of Christ? And miracles happen in the midst of it?

I do now. Not that I do not believe it the last time, but it was just not my top most priority. It was for me one of the many things needful.

But because I’ve been practicing this everyday for the pass 5 weeks of my attachment, hearing it each time I go and come back from work, I see now the importance why Jesus ask us to do the one thing. It’s all we need Beloved! And you know why I listen to it?Hehe. It wasn’t because I receive a revelation one Sunday, but because my journey there takes me 1 1/2hours. What better way to pass time yeah?=)And also during that period, someone handed me an abundance of pastor’s cds. Not only that, my lecturer happens to send me with someone who stays in the same block as I do. And she was the one who has helped me to charge my batteries every alternate day for my disc man so I could listen to e sermons.

One day while I was jogging, I decided to ask God for a mp3. I pictured a white one too. It sounded very impossible to me then, but I said it anyway.

The very same week someone gave me a mp3 and it was a white one too=) with 10 batteries along with it. Hee. Our God always abundantly supplies! Amen.

Last Thursday, my lecturer came to do a viva with us. As usual, I was having butterflies in my stomach. As I wheeled e patient, I quietly look away from her and confess “I’m the Righteouness of God” softly.

I stuttered at the beginning of the session. But slowly, it resolved by God’s grace =)

“Ok, analyze for me and treat.”

“What are the causes for her decrease knee forward in standing…”

Oh dear, what could it be, I thought to myself. At that moment I wasn’t quite sure.

But when I open my mouth by faith, He provides me with the answer I really didn’t know how it came. The flow was there. Hee. And she said it was right.

There was just such rest and confidence. But this has happen many times with my supervisors. Then I go on to tell her about the condition of this lady.

“…She used to have ataxia(jerkiness of movement) of her ® lower limb and is unable to walk controllably. But after one-week session with her, her ataxia left.

With her most surprised look “ How did you do it??”

Told her the treatment I implemented.

And guess what, she walked away and commented, “I’m very happy with you”.

“Thank you”

It was just 10mins! And she left to observe my friend for 2 hours! It has never happen before in any of my encounter with her =)

Truly the Favor of God was with me.

The first time I treated this patient, she required 2 moderate assistance to walk. She couldn’t even place her foot properly on the floor due to the uncontrolled movement. But now after a month of seeing her, she is able to walk unassisted with a walking frame.

Was it because I implemented a good treatment?

I really dunno. Yes and No.

But e one thing I knew is I did three similar thing with all my patient.Keke.

Firstly, I would tell them that Jesus loves them. If circumstances allow, I would pray along with them.

Secondly, I ask them to confess positive things. Ie For this patient, she would constantly tell me that she cant do it/her leg has no strength. I would not allow her to say it but rather ask them to replace it with “I have strength, my leg has strength” instead. Sometimes, unknowingly she would revert back to saying she can’t, but when I look at her, she would smile and quickly correct herself. Hee.

Thirdly, I make them laugh.yup. The joy of the Lord is our strength. But if they were unable to, at least a smile =)

Treatment does help in the recovery of patients. But it is not all to it.

I’ve witnessed this personally myself.

It may work for a patient who is relatively well mentally, but try doing your treatment on someone who suffers depression. Most of the time, they are just so conscious of their circumstances, of how others look at them and life seems meaningless. They curl themselves up in bed, not wanting to eat or to talk. When happy memories flash their thoughts, it’s no longer good anymore. And you see tears rolling down their cheek. What use is there if I’m able to give them the best therapy and environment to practice but they have no strength to even sit up. All my treatment would be in vain. At this moment, you really wish they knew Jesus.

And I was given this patient. I read her notes and they said that she would vomit everyday after therapy. When I met her, I tried to cheer her up and make conversations. But silent reigns. She was very passive. There was no contribution on her part. I had to hold her up each time to sit, and to stand. My supervisor told me they are considering of sending her somewhere to use an electrical thingie to “shock” her brain.

And you know what, amazingly she did not vomit after my session. Not only that, she has not vomited ever since! And it’s been two weeks. The changed in her was so evident. She comes to therapy willingly and earlier than e appointed time..Previously, she could not stand unassisted by 2person and her (L)leg need to be constantly supported but now she is walking by just holding on to a bar and moving her legs herself! She not only talks now but laughs too. Her maid said she has been finishing her rice these days and is putting on weight=)

Why the sudden changed in her? Could it be because my treatment was good?

It may have helped a little. But I believe that every feeling of infirmity in her have to leave first. I believe is the love of Jesus that has touched her heart. And His love for us promises to save and to heal. Brain shock is only temporal but God’s healing is eternal. Last Friday I invited her for the chapel service, and she went for it. But it hurts me to see the tears in her eyes when I said my final goodbye.

My final Assessment with my supervisors was too good to be true. Hee.

The senior physio said “You have a flair for Neuro. You should consider specializing in it…(Said a few times.hee), think about it”

It’s like having an artist telling you that you have the X-factor for drawing when you know you can hardly draw in your art class. Hee

The other one added “You have a calling in this area just by looking at what’s happening around you…the lecturer told us she was impressed with you”

Calling???Hee.

Imagine having a supervisor telling you that as a feedback. For someone who hardly knows me and to see that in me? Is no kiddin.Haha.just kiddin.

Whether I have it or not, it doesn’t really matter. I just live to enjoy every season He has given me, and that’s living the call =)

Honestly, Neuro was one of my weaker subjects in school. Even e lecturer reminded me when she came over.Hee. And was a little surprised by what she observed. Isn’t it God to always use the weakest point in you to turn it into a strength?=)

Do I deserve all this? Did I study hard for it? Honestly, I only study on my way there. Not really study though. hehe but plan out what I was going to do for my patients for that day. The only time that I studied at home was the first two week. The rest of the week I was too sleepy by the time I reach home=)

All I “did” was I kept hearing His Word and also listening to Christian songs.

I listened till my spirit comes alive and full of His love. So alive that I dun even want to off the player at times. Only until I reach the doorstep of the office.Hee. Followed on by morning prayers with a few of them.

He puts a rest in my studies and a liking for my work.

Favor from God is all you need.

This has been in my spirit lately “Too much I can’t contain”

A few of the patients family came up to me and requested if I could go over to their house and treat their mum and they’ll pay me for it.

I’ve even got two patients who buys me bun for a few days. How on the world do they know I love bread=)

And e Myanmar Therapist Assistant specially ask me which day I'll be free and took a day off just to cook a meal for me!

Two of the Myanmar gals also agreed and followed me to church the other day. I asked them how many times have they been to church ever since they came 5 years ago, and they said twice. Oh boy was I touched. The best part is I only asked once, and my christian collegues told me that she has been trying so hard to bring them to church.Well, I thank her instead because it was her that has sown the seeds in their heart, and it's just the right time now.

Everyday it's a blessing of His goodness. He really loves me so much. My every desire is His chance of showing me more of His love. Sometimes when I’m so tired, I would tell Him that I wish I would have less patient for that day...or is just me, yeah?=)The next moment, the son comes in to tell me the mum is going for home leave. When I’m hungry and I wish for a bread, the next moment my patient offered me one. Trust me I dun have a hungry look written on my face=)I know He always hears my heart cry. I tell Him everything and there isn’t anything He will not do for His children,yeah?

We gave our supervisor a small gift on our last day as a token of our appreciation. My partner later turn to me and pass me one too"This one is for you", "You mean I have one too?"Hee.

Thank God for my two weeks break. I miss spending time with Abba. 

Want more blessings? It’s e favor of God you need.

The more weaknesses you see in yourself, the more of God's Divine Favor can work in you!

Jesus said ONE thing is needful.

Do the one thing and God will do everything for you.

The one thing is to let Jesus love you. Receive His fresh manna everyday.

And His favor on you will be too much you can’t contain!

Grace is with us, God’s beloved!=)

Grace, His divine influence upon the heart

Read something very interesting this morning in the bus related to what I was sharing earlier on Grace.

Remember I said I didn’t fully understand what grace truly means until I ask Him. It's good to ask our Abba, because He never fails to answer us.And He gave me two words to explain it-Desire and ability, with the verse Psalms 37:4.

Read my previous one to better understand what I’ll be writing next.

This was what I got from the book:

Grace is defined in Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance as

“God’s divine influence upon the heart.”

Another translation for Psalms 37:4 found in the book:

“My children delight themselves in the Lord, and He gives them the desires and secrets petitions of their heart”

"Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will you the desires and secret petitions of your heart"(Amplified Version).

Do you see it beloved?

Remember I said earlier that Grace is when He puts desires in our hearts.

The word desire are usually quoted in the bible as…He hears our desires, what we desire, or desires of a man.It's always our desires.

Few have been Him giving us the desires. Or maybe I've not look through enough into it. But well, the beautiful thing is, this time it is He that puts the desires in our hearts. And if you know how significant it is(as said in my previous entry and this one) you'll long for it=)

Following that verse He says He'll give us secrets petitions of our heart.

What is this secret petition?

Is His divine influence. It's His Grace!

Hope you caught it=) If not...you will at 3am.Hee.

Grace be with you, God's beloved!

Tell Him your wants-His grace is more than sufficient for you

Have you really ask yourself this question....What does grace really means?
Although it may seem that I should have at least know how to answer it, being in a church that preaches grace, it never did occur to me that I dun truly know it yet.I may have become so accustom with it that I never did question myself this. Like wat Deacon shared during campus...we have been so well fed with grace message that we sometimes "lose" the excitement over it compared to those who have never heard of it before ie.his trip to myanmar when e people were so overjoyed with the gospel of grace till tears were seen in their eyes.
I knew it as undeserved favor or charisma. Getting what we dun deserve. People often say "Ask for the help you need from his grace".yea....but how does this grace thing really work?How do i know i'm living it or i'm doing out of my self effort.For example, two students may have been given an essay to be handed in the next day, both went home to do it.Same action, same task....but one can be regarded as doing it by God's grace and the opther out of self effort.How do you differentiate which is of grace/self effort?
As I was jogging yesterday(yes...he speaks to us anytime/anywhere=)) I question God.
What really is grace?I ask Him many times.I wanted to know it as a personal revelation to me.Not of head knowledge as I might had, but of heart knowledge.
Then I gave Him an example. Imagine a guy who wants to lose weight and build his muscle mass.He cant possibly sit there and stare at the picture of the one who has it and say by God's grace i'll have it too.He then says I trust His grace and rest.Thats absolutely impossible. He still have to work at it. A guy cant possibly sit down and not go out to meet gals if he wants a galfren and say that by God's grace He'll drop one...???
Then He gave me this two words.
Desire and ability.
He said if that guy wants to lose weight and he's not an active person....and going to the gym each morning or after work seems to be the hardest thing for him, He'll birth the desire in that guys heart and give him the ability to do it. All of a sudden, he would wake up one morning filled with the passion to exercise, he himself wont know why, but he is in love with this new hobby now and wants to do it not for the sole purpose of losing weight although he may have wanted it. Now His action is govern/not driven by his initial wants but by his love for going to the gym. Weird in the natural. And when he steps in the gym, he will have the ability to lift the weight he once find difficult but now he does it with ease.
After He showed me this, I started to put this to every situation that comes to mind and do a check if I'm living by his grace or by my self effort.And it really works!Hee.Go try it out.
A simple example would be like this.You want to do well for your exams. But you just dun like to study.We've all been there=) But try to recall a time when you trusted His grace to grace you thru. You suddenly have an interest to read and everything becomes so clear to you in a few mins compared to the hours you tried to understand it by yourself. Be careful the next time you ask, you may become so interested in studying just like how pastor is to preaching four services when grace lives in us.Hee~A rest that comes from directed activity.
Then later, He impress this on me. Do you see that many times it's the wants that you're asking from me.And not the process to it.I then saw a picture of a line, from one end to the other.The line being the process.For example...you want a galfren.You will not ask Him that you want to buy a flower for her, you want to hold her hand, you want to open the door for her but you do it because it's an overflow of your love for her.It's a process that you go thru to having a galfren.But wat was the actual thing you wanted?the flower?I hope not.Hee.Of course the gall=) But what drives you to chase her...it's your desire.And do you have the ability to?...yes for the first few months/courtship,but the years after marriage will only last if God was the one that initiated it.The married man may find it a chore later to open the door for His wife because he is no longer "in love" with his wife like he had in their honeymoon days...God's grace is when He puts the passion and desire in Him to love her again and grace him with the ability to do it.
This verse then came to mind.
Psalms37:4..."Delight yourself in the Lord, And He will give you the desires of your heart"
If it was He who has birth the desires in our heart/to love the things we do in the process of our wants...then we see the amazing thing in this verse why He will answer our desires.Because He was the one who initiated and planted the desires in our heart, will He not fulfill it=)
If you do not want to go thru another heart break from another gal.keke.Mmm.i dunno why i'm writing this, maybe someone needs to hear this =) Ask the Father.
Remember, the boy wants a galfrren or the gal wants a boyfren.Ask the one who knows best for you. Ask Him to give you the desire for the rite gal. If He was the one that gave you, you do not need to work for it.It's all His part in doing and fulfilling it. He will give you His ability to go after her and it'll be a smooth one. No more "fearful expectation" of what might come.Hee. If He was the one that initiated it, He will be the one that will help you thru when trials come.He who began a work in you, will complete it.
God is longing to put desires in our heart. Tell him your wants.
If you want to serve God in a ministry. Tell Him you want to serve. He'll give you a desire in the specific ministry.He wont come in front of your door to tell you which one to go to, the Holy Spirit is already in you to give you that desire for the specific ministry. And that is His will for you. His desires becomes yours now.
Another translation Psalms 37:4(New Century Version)..."Enjoy serving the Lord,and He will give you what you want"
Delight yourself in the Lord.Tell him what you want. He will do it for you.
This was all confirm by what I was reading in the bus this morning by brother Lawrence(the practise of the presence of God)
Only recently, Brother was asked to go into Burgundy to get supplies for the monastery. This chore was difficult for him because, first, he had no head for business and second, he was lame in one leg and could not walk on the boat without falling against the cargo of barrels. Nevertheless, neither his awkwardness not the errand in general caused him any distress. He simply told God that it was His affair, after which he found that everything tunred out nicely.
Things went the same way in the kitchen of the monastery, where he worked. Although he once had a great dislike for kitchen work, he develloped a facility for doing it over the fifteen years he was there. He attributed this to his doing  everything for the love of God, asking as often for grace to do his work. He said that he was presently in the shoe repair shop and that he liked it very much. He would however, be willing to work anywhere, always rejoicing at being able to do little things for the love of God.
Grace be with you always, God's beloved!=)

His gentle leading=)

It’s just so beautiful how Abba brings His Words to us and gently leading us into it.

This morning I decided to pick up one of Smith Wigglesworth book(Greater Works) to read, wanting to find out somethings on healing…unknowingly the first page that I flip to was the verse 1 Cor 10:31 He gave me on Sunday. It was also e verse he led me to search deeper into it in my last journal. I’m sure this is not by chance, because everything happens in His divine plan. If it was by chance, the probability of me searching for it the next time would be 1/576 pages without me first looking at the page.Hee.Wouldn’t it be much faster to allow Him to lead us than to find it ourselves? =) So be it in your career and studies. But dun take this as a formula as to how God speaks and start trying em out like buying toto.But remember, at times you have to be the one to initiate it...you see He didnt just drop the book at me. I look for it and He directed me. Follow the inner leading in you in your daily work. You’ll be surprised by His many surprises for you =)He’s more willing to speak to you than your ability to hear.

Continuation from last journal…

The text below tells us how we could live to glorify God with our body by Smith Wigglesworth.Enjoy!

Energized by the Spirit

            So there is a necessity from every one of us to be filled with God.It is not sufficient to have just a touch or to be filled with just a desire. Only one thing will meet the needs of the people, and that is for you to immerse in the life of God. This means that God takes you and fills you with His Spirit until you live right in God. He does this so that”whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do,[it may be] all to the glory og God” (1Cor 10:31). In that place you will find that all your strength and all your mind and all your soul are filled with a zeal, not only for worship, but also for proclamation. This proclamation is accompanied by all the power of God, which must move satanic power and disturb the world.

            The reason the world is not seeing Jesus is that Christian people are not filled with Jesus. They are satisfied with attending meetings weekly, reading the Bible occasionally, and praying sometimes.

            Beloved, if God lays hold of you by the Spirit, you will find that there is an end of everything and a beginning of God. Your whole body will become seasoned with a divine likeness. Not only will He have begun to use you, but He will have taken you in hand, so that you might be “a vessel for honor”(2 Tim 2:21). Our lives are not to be ourselves, for if we live for ourselves we will die(Rom 8:13) but if “by the Spirit [we] put to death the deeds of the body, [we] will  live”(v13). He who lives in the Spirit is subject to the powers of God, but he who lives by himself will die. The man who lives in the Spirit lives a life of freedom and joy and blessing and service-a life that brings blessings to others. God would have us see that we muct live in the Spirit.

Grace be with you, God's beloved!

You are a priceless possession.Treasure it=)

I was at service last sunday when he drop this verse from 1Cor 10:31 at me. Took hold of my bible and flip to it. His usual way of suprising me again =)...the first page was that very verse. When this happens, it's usually means He is going to show me something later.
    ³¹Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

The first thought that came across my mind when I read it was how we handle ourself with people or with ourself to our bodies, be it what we take in internally(solid or spiritual food) or how we handle our body externally.

But it never did come across me of how truly significant my body was, why was is it so important to glorify Him in it...maybe just knowing that Christ lives in me.So I ought to glorify Him in what ever I do.

Yest, which was e day after I received that verse, I just felt impress to finally take hold of the book my fren lend me-Bodily Healing and The Atonement by Dr. T. J. McCrossan.

The very first verse that I open up to was from 1 Corinthians 6:19,20 with the word redeem(it caught my eye because it was just fresh from what pastor had preached on sunday)This stirs me even more to go deeper into it.

 1 Cor 6:19,20..."What!know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought(egorasthete)/redeem with a price:therefore glorify God in your body, and in the spirit, which are God's"

I will be copying down some text from the book which I thought was prefectly what I needed to know. You might get a lil confuse at first by being bombarded with so many Greek translations.Hee.worry no =)I was at that stage once. But I do encourage you to read them over and over again till you get the juice out of it =)

My writings will be in coloured background so you could differentiate it from the Author =)

Here's a lil summary from the book and my own as well as a guide=):

Your body IS significant bec you were bought/redeemed with the very same price; viz.,the blood of Christ.

The three different meanings of redeemed translated in the New Testament. One being the one that saves our soul(agorazo) and the other two(exogorazo,lutroo) refers to something which takes place subsequent to it(agorazo). This gives us the answer to why our body still suffer pain and sorrow.

The reason behind the importance of pleasing God in all we do and why He calls us to do that. Who are we as a new creation and how to attain inherit our inheritance in Christ-by Confession and hearing and meditating on the Word preached.

From the Author:

In First Corinthians 6:19 Paul says "What!know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought(egorasthete) with a price:therefore glorify God in your body, and in the spirit, which are God's"Note, our body is God's as well as our spirit.

The Greek construction here reads hatina estin tou theou(which are of God). Hatina is the nominative plural, neuter of the relative pronoun hostis, and so includes both the body and the spirit.Theou is the genetive singular of theos (God), the genetive of source or origin, and so brings out the gracious truth that our bodies are God's for the very same reason that our spirits are His; viz because both originated for Him.

The word for "bought" here gives us a clue. This word is egorasthete, the 1st Aorist passive, 2nd plural of agorazo, I buy or redeem. Turn now to Revelation 5:9

"And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof:for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed[egorasas] us to God by thy blood"

The Word "redeemed" here is egorasas, the 1st Aorist, 2nd person singular or agorazo, I buy, the very same word that Paul uses in 1 Cor 6:20, where he asserts that both our body and spirit were bought or redeemed with a price. Peter also uses this same word(agorazo) to express Christ redemptive word(2 Peter 2:1)...

"But, "someone says" if Paul here teaches that Christ died to redeem our body as well as our soul, why does he says in Romans 8:23"...we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption...the redemption of our body?"Does not Paul here teach that our body has not yet been redeemed?"

In Romans 3:24 it shows three verbs in e NT translated "redeemed"; viz.,agorazo, exagorazo, and lutroo.

In Romans 8:23, Paul uses the word apolutrosis. This is derived from apo, from , and lutroo, "I set free after a ransom has been paid" The apolutrosis(redemption) in Romans 8:23 means "a setting free of what has been already ransomed."

In 1Cor 6:19, 20 Paul declares we have now been "redeemed"(agorazo), body spirit, by having the price paid for us. In Galation 3:13 he asserts we have been "redeemed," of bought out from under"(exagorazo)the curse of the law;but, as yet, we have experienced"redemption"(apolutrosis, Romans8:23)in the sense that we are entirely free from our former bondage.

Remember Paul here asserts(1Cor6:20)that we have been bought, body and spirit, with a price, and uses the very same verb for bought"(agorazo)as is translated "redeemed"in Rev 5:9, where we are told we are bought with a price.

Note, Paul uses the Aorist tense of this verb in 1Cor 6:20;viz egorasthete which tells us, as plainly as words can express it, that the redemption of spirit and body was then something already accomplished.

But although the price of our redemption already has been paid, Paul says in Ephesian 4:30. "And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God by which ye have been sealed[literal reading] unto the day of redemption[apolutrosis of Rom 8:23]" This is a positive proof , therefore, that this "redemption" of Romans 8:23(apolutrosis) refers to something which takes place subsequent to that redemption which saves our souls, when we accept Christ, as the One who shed His blood to redeem us.

Our spirits also, like our bodies, are still awaiting this same"redemption"(apolutrosis) for Paul says (Romans 8:23, "...we ourselves[hemeis autoi] groan within ourselves." "WE ourselves here refers to our spirits, which inhabits and control our bodies. We are absolutely sure of this, because the pronoun "we"(hemeis) is the very same word that we find in Rev1:5"...and washed us[hemas, Accusative of hemeis] from our sins in His own blood." Then our redeemed spirits, which have been washed from sin, as well as our redeemed bodies, can now groan and suffer pain. The Word "groan"(stenazo) means to sigh deeply, or moan with pain and anguish, whther mental or physical.

All will be changed, however when this redemption called  apolutrosis(the setting free from), takes place. When this "redemption," apolutrosis(Rom8:23), does take place, then both our spirits and our bodies will be completely free from sorrow, pain, weeping, and al the consequence of sin bondage from which Christ has already redeemed us by His awful scourging and death. See Revelation 21:4(This was also the verse Pastor relate to with 2 Cor 5:17,18)

Knowing that our body can still suffer pain after we have been redeemed(agorazo) when we first accepted Christ...but we also have a better promise from Him that we could also be redeem(apolutrosis) from every sorrow, pain and weeping.How do we come to that truth.

I think it boils down to what Pastor have been emphasizing.To BELIEVE in the truth! When we believe in Him, The Holy Spirit being the spirit of truth will bear witness with our spirit with signs and wonders. If you need healing, believe for healing then He can work. A you have taken e step to believe for your salvation, it goes well with His promises too.

If you need faith to believe, confess His Word in your life. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God(Rom 10:17). Without faith it is impossible to please God(Heb11:6)

Confess you are a New Creation In Christ, old things have pass away, the new from Abba is to come.

Confess Jesus Christ is your Redemption(Psalms 107:2)Now we see the significant of why redeem was mention twice although we are already redeem by His blood when we receive Christ as our Saviour(agorazo). Bec the second redeem(apolutrosis) comes when we believe the truth.

Why do we need to please God with our body, in our conducts...like its being said in Eph 5:10(and find out what pleases the Lord) when we are no longer in darkness,Romans 12:1(to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice pleasing to Him),in 1John 3:22(doing whats pleasing to Him) the answer is found in 1John 3:22 it self.Because we receive ALL things that we ask from Him when we do what pleases Him.Walking in His good, pleasing and prefect will thru continually renewing our mind in His Word(Romans12:2).

When you know how much He loves you, you will want to please Him. Remember, you are a priceless possession.You are His favoured prince/princesses In-Christ. A gem from heaven =) Treasure it like how you would treasure your jewels because you are ONE in His sight =)

Grace be with you, God's beloved!

His revealed will-The Word of God

Below are some important truths of passages I pick out from George Mueller’s book. I happen to run by this book as I was rushing out of house today. The first thought that came "Wow, George Mueller?!(I have a liking for his writings since Pastor Prince introduced it) Never knew my landlord would have his book…" =) It was also a confirmation to me on the subject of the importance of the Word I’ve been pondering about lately.
I grew up all my life as a Christian. One may think that I would have known/memorized a considerably number of Scriptures but no…that was not the case. Having full attendance as a kid in children’s church which gain me some presents =) and in youth meeting did not attain for my knowledge of the Word. I love the Lord. I love going to church camps esp when there’s praise and worship where we will all get fired up. Later in my teens, I started to have an interest for the Word. I enjoy sermons (no matter how dreadful it may seem…=)) and even started of reading Max Lucado books and make sure I would get every single one of them. But guess what, I realized I hardly know more than 5 verses memorized. Not as a child, but only 5 months back.
The verses that I knew was John 3:16, Proverbs 3:5,6(which I recite every nite as a kid-and the only verse I could come up with when problems arise Hee,) Ephesians 4:32(kids song)….
But I was sensitive to the things of the spirit then, it may have been my close relationship I have with Abba.
Then recently, someone prayed for me. He told me He saw two wings, one was the Spirit and the other the Word. He said I was sensitive to the spirit but not grounded in the Word.I need to be grounded so that I could soar like the eagles…
The pass 4 months had been my hardest times…I had no other means but to sought the Lord day and nite….in prayer and in e Word.
One morning, the Lord asks me to write down all the blessings and supernatural touch He has given me all my life. I started drafting them out. Later, He ask me to tick the ones I received 4 months back in pink, my 4 years of grace in new creation in orange and before I came new creation in blue.
Guess what amazing truth I found.
Before I came to New Creation it was only 5, my four years of grace…30+, my last four months 100+ by now…
It was this pass 4 months that I kept reading and reading and meditating the Scriptures…it was this 4 months that I had supernatural confirmation in His Word(never before this 4 months) and it was this 4 months that I had my greatest growth. I am so in love with Him now that I cannot pass by one day not reading His Word.
Beloved, I always grew up thinking that it’s ok not to expound on the Word…just knowing that it’s somewhere in the bible or maybe telling yourself oneday will come when I will take up the precious book and read…but you’re missing out something great I wont be able to explain to you!
His awesome love for you!
I encourage you to feed on what George Mueller has written…I know it’s long. But maybe you can just read a few sentence a day =) but it’ll be nourishing to your soul.
The careful and consecutive reading of the Holy scripture
Concerning this subject Mr. Muller says, "I fell into the snare, into which so many young believers fall, the reading of religious books in preference to the scriptures. I could no longer read French and German novels, as I formerly done, to feed my carnal mind; but still I did not put into the room of those books the best of all books. I read tracts, missionary papers, sermons, and biographies of godly persons. The last kind of books I found more profitable than others, and had they been well selected, or had I not read too much of such writings, or had any of them tended particularly to endear the Scriptures to me, they might have done me much good. I never had been at any time in my life in the habit of reading the Holy Sciptures. When under fifteen years of age, I occasionally read a little of them at school;afterwards God’s precious book was entirely laid aside, so that I never read one single chapter of it, as far as I remember, till it pleased God to begin a work of grace in my heart. Nowe the scriptural way of reasoning would have been : God Himself has condescended to become an author and I am ignorant about that precious book, which His Holy Spirit has caused to be written through the instrumentality of His servants, and it contains that which I ought to know, and the knowledge of which will lead me to true happiness; therefore I ought to read again and again this most precious book, this book of books, most earnestly, most prayerfully, and with much meditation; and in this practice I ought to continue all the days of my life. For I was aware, though I read it a little, that I knew scarely anything of it. But instead of acting thus, and being led by my ignorance of the Word of God to study it more, my difficulty I had in unerstanding it, and the little enjoyment I had in it, made me careless of reading it( for much prayerful reading of the Word, gives not merely knowledge, but increases the delight we have in reading it); and thus, like many believers, I practically preferred, for the first four years of my divine life, the works of uninspired men to the oracles of the living God. The consequence was that I remained a babe, both in knowledge most sadly kept me back from walking steadily in the ways of god. For it is the truth that makes us free (John 8:31,32), by delivering us from the slavery of thelusts of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. The Word proves it. The experience of the saints proves it; and also my own experience most decidedly proves it. For when it pleased the Lord in August 1829, to bring me really to the Scriptures, my life and walk became very different. And though I have very much fallen short of what I might and ought to be, yet, by the grace of God, I have been enabled to live much nearer to Him than before.
"If any believers read this, who practically prefer other books to the Holy Scripture, and who enjoys writings of men much more than the Word of God, may they be warned by my loss. I shall consider this book, should it please the Lord, through its instrumentality, to lead some of His people no longer to neglect the Holy Scirptures, but to give them that preference, which have hitherto bestowed on the writings of men. My dislike to increase the number of books would have been sufficient to deter me from writing these pages, had I not been convinced, that this in answer to my prayers, the reading of my experience may be the means of leading them to value the Sciptures more highly and to make them the rule of all their actions.
"If anyone should ask me, how he may read the Scriptures most profitably, I would advised him that:

1. Because it throws light upon the connection; and a different course, according to which one habitually selects particular chapters, will make it utterly impossible ever to understand much of the scriptures.
2. Whilst we are in the body, we need a change even in spiritual things; and this change the Lord has graciously provided in the great variety which is to be found in Hi Wors.
3. It tends to the glory of God for the leaving out some chapters here and there, is practically saying that certain portions are better than others; or, that there are certain parts revealed truth unprofitable or unnecessary.
4. It may keep us, by the blessing of God, from erroneous views, as in reading thus regularly through the Scpirture we are led to see the meaning of the whole, and also kept from laying too much stress upon certain favourtite views.
5. The Scripture contain the whole revealed will of God, and therefore we ought to seekk to read from time to time through the whole of the revealed will. There are many believers, I fear, in our dauy, who have not read even once through the whole Scriptures; and yet in a few months, by reading only a few chapters every day they might accomplish it.

1. It is also of great importance to meditate on what we read, so that perhaps a small portion of that which we raed, or, if we have time, the whole may be meditated upon in the course of the day. Or a small protion of a book, or an epistle, or a gospel, through which we go regularly for meditation, may be considered every day, without, however, suffering oneself to be brought into bondage by this plan.

"Learned commentaries I have found to store the head, with many notions and oftern also with the truth of God; but when the Spirit teaches, through the instrumentality of prayer and meditation, the heart is affected. The former kind of knowledge puffs up, and is often renouced, when another commentary gives a different opinion, and often also is found good for nothing, when it is to be carried out into practice. The latter kind of knowledge generally humbles, gives joy, leads us nearer to God, and is not easily reasoned away; and having been obtained from God, and thus entered into the heart, and become our own, us generally carried out."

Above all he should seek to have it settled in his own mind, that God alone, by His Spirit, can teach him, and that therefore, as God will be enquired of for blessings, it becomes him to seekk God’s blessing, it becomes him to seek God’s blessing previous to reading, and also whilst reading.

He should have it, moreover, settled in his mind, that, although the Holy Spirit is the best and sufficient teacher, yet that this teacher does not always teach immediately when we desire it, and that, therefore, we may have to entreat Him again and again for the explanation of certain passages; but that He will surely teach us at last, is indeed we are seeking for light prayerfully, patiently, and with a view to the glory of God.

It is of immmense imporatnce of understanding the Word of God, to read it in course, so that we may read everyday a portion of the Old and a portion of the New Testament, going on where we previous left off. This is important:

Soul Nourishment First

A Booklet by George Mueller

May 9, 1841

It has pleased the Lord to teach me a truth, the benefit of which I have not lost, for more than fourteen years. The point is this:

I saw more clearly than ever that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was, to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not how much I might serve the Lord, or how I might glorify the Lord; but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished. For I might seek to set the truth before the unconverted, I might seek to benefit believers, I might seek to relieve the distressed, I might in other ways seek to behave myself as it becomes a child of God in this world; and yet, not being happy in the Lord, and not being nourished and strengthened in my inner man day by day, all this might not be attended to in a right spirit.
Before this time my practice had been, at least for ten years previously, as an habitual thing, to give myself to prayer, after having dressed myself in the morning. Now, I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God, and to meditation on it, that thus my heart might be comforted, encouraged, warned, reproved, instructed; and that thus, by means of the Word of God, while meditating on it, my heart might be brought into experiential communion with the Lord.

I began therefore to meditate on the New Testament from the beginning, early in the morning. The first thing I did, after having asked in a few words the Lord’s blessing upon his precious Word, was, to begin to meditate on the Word of God, searching as it were into every verse, to get blessing out of it; not for the sake of the public ministry of the Word, not for the sake of preaching on what I had meditated upon, but for the sake of obtaining food for my own soul.

The result I have found to be almost invariably this, that after a very few minutes my soul has been led to confession, or to thanksgiving, or to intercession, or to supplication; so that, though I did not, as it were, give myself to prayer, but to meditation, yet it turned almost immediately more or less into prayer. When thus I have been for a while making confession or intercession, or supplication, or have given thanks, I go to the next words or verse, turning all, as I go on, into prayer for myself or others, as the Word may lead to it, but still continually keeping before me that food for my own soul is the object of my meditation. The result of this is, that there is always a good deal of confession, thanksgiving, supplication, or intercession mingled with my meditation, and then my inner man almost invariably is even sensibly nourished and strengthened, and that by breakfast time, with rare exceptions, I am in a peaceful if not happy state of heart. Thus also the Lord is pleased to communicate unto me that which, either very soon after or at a later time, I have found to become food for other believers, though it was not for the sake of the public ministry of the Word that I gave myself to meditation, but for the profit of my own inner man.

The difference, then, between my former practice and my present one is this:

Formerly, when I rose, I began to pray as soon as possible, and generally spent all my time till breakfast in prayer, or almost all the time. At all events I almost invariably began with prayer, except when I felt my soul to be more than usually barren, in which case I read the Word of God for food, or for refreshment, or for a revival and renewal of my inner man, before I gave myself to prayer.

But what was the result? I often spent a quarter of an hour, or half an hour, or even an hour, on my knees, before being conscious to myself of having derived comfort, encouragement, humbling of soul, etc., and often, after having suffered much from wandering of mind for the first ten minutes, or a quarter of an hour, or even half an hour, I only then began really to pray. I scarcely ever suffer now in this way. For my heart, first being nourished by the truth, being brought into experiential fellowship with God, I then speak to my Father and to my Friend, (vile though I am, and unworthy of it), about the things that He has brought before me in His precious Word.

It often now astonishes me that I did not sooner see this point. In no book did I ever read about it. No public ministry ever brought the matter before me. No private intercourse with a brother stirred me up to this matter. And yet, now, since God has taught me this point, it is as plain to me as anything, that the first thing the child of God has to do morning by morning is, to obtain food for his inner man. As the outward man is not fit for work for any length of time except we take food, and as this is one of the first things we do in the morning, so it should be with the inner man. We should take food for that, as every one must allow.

Now, what is the food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the Word of God; and here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water runs through a pipe, but considering what we read, pondering over it, and applying it to our hearts. When we pray, we speak to God. Now, prayer, in order to be continued for any length of time in any other than a formal manner, requires, generally speaking, a measure of strength or godly desire, and the season, therefore, when this exercise of the soul can be most effectually performed is after the inner man has been nourished by meditation on the Word of God, where we find our Father speaking to us, to encourage us, to comfort us, to instruct us, to humble us, to reprove us. We may therefore profitably meditate, with God’s blessing, though we are ever so weak spiritually; nay, the weaker we are, the more we need meditation for the strengthening of our inner man.

Thus there is far less to be feared from wandering of mind than if we give ourselves to prayer without having had time previously for meditation. I dwell so particularly on this point because of the immense spiritual profit and refreshment I am conscious of having derived from it myself, and I affectionately and solemnly beseech all my fellow believers to ponder this matter. By the blessing of God, I ascribe to this mode the help and strength which I have had from God to pass in peace through deeper trials, in various ways, than I had ever had before; and after having now above fourteen years tried this way, I can most fully, in the fear of God, commend it.

In addition to this I generally read, after family prayer, larger portions of the Word of God, when I still pursue my practice of reading regularly onward in the Holy Scriptures, sometimes in the New Testament, and sometimes in the Old, and for more than twenty-six years I have proved the blessedness of it. I take, also, either then or at other parts of the day, time more especially for prayer. How different, when the soul is refreshed and made happy early in the morning, from what it is when without spiritual preparation, the service, the trials, and the temptations of the day come upon one.

Voice of God

I've been pondering on this topic "Voice of God" a lil more these days...or maybe because I've been handed a book written by Jack Deere, Suprised by the Voice of God.Or maybe He wanted me to know it all this while so the book was just one of the means He uses.Whatever it is, I now have a deeper understanding of it from the bible point of view, people's experiences and of course my own as well =)
I will not be touching on the content of the book.It's relatively thick.Everything seems so good & vital. So it would be too much to write down & too little to be taken out.Interested? Grab hold of it.It's worth every penny =)
"Impression?" the dictionary defines it as a deep lasting effect on the mind or feelings.
I read this recently..."I asked for the only malay tester on the list.. and i somehow had the impression i would get him.. and i did! Not only that, i felt his hand upon me.. "...
So often we said we felt impressed that something will happen, we sometimes even feel impress to do something or even to call someone.Just the other day I'm reminded of Perryn =) Recently, she's been a lil quiet in multiply.The next thing I know, she wrote in an entry.The one on the malay tester above.
I dunno about you...but sometimes w this impression there is this still small voice. It seems like there's a another person speaking to you...just talking to you like a fren.You thought you had made it up.Maybe it was just you impersonating.
Many times this fren of mine impress verses in my heart or to look up a particular verse.And many times this verses just happen to POP up in the next paragraph/page in the book i'm reading.Coincidental??Mmm.But it's been happening a lot these days.luck?certainly not.This experiences can be quite scary at times that I would shut my book.Hee~
For mandy, in reply to my latest entry, she said all this seems so creepy/awesome.
Lydia describe it as"I almost could not catch my breath when i saw that title"
Have you ever wonder about this.Or it was just kept at the back of your mind....well, if it comes it comes...
Why I am I telling you all this?
Because I want you to know that it wasn't you impersonating or making it up.It wasn't something coincidental but God-incidental.It was the Holy Spirit in you the moment you receive Jesus as your Abba Daddy.The day when the altar call was made and you simply toke the step of faith.No turning back.But ever since then, you never regretted it.People saw the change in you.They question your salvation, "How sure do you know you've been saved". The answer would simply be you just know it because He has send the Comforter to abide in you.He's ALIVE in you today.You're both been good frens ever since and you simply trusted Him =)
I will not be sharing with you the how to in hearing His voice but just my experiences...maybe from there you could relate it to your own.
I wrote this to my fren recently =)
Why do God seems to be giving me confirmation each time after he impress something in my heart?It's nice.But why.Does that make Him look bigger.certainly not.I thought about this many times.
Now I understand the why behind it.
Imagine if He would to impress something in my heart and there was no what so ever confirmation given to me-be it His Word, or even thru you or someone else,
I would have taken it as coming from my own emotions or maybe my own thoughts.I will not be sure because I'm not naturally born to discern the things of spirit and of myself.Therefore I may be wrong sometimes.it's like training our mind to be renewed to the things of God. Now it's the spirit.

Looking back at the numerous times he confirms His Word to me,
My spirit has been trained to know which is of the spirit & of my emotions.
It seems he's telling me this..."If I would to impress you a certain verse or situation to pray for B, you will not be afraid to speak it out bec you already know how I speak."A deep sense of knowing that it's from Him.
Thereafter, I felt impress to ask Lydia to pray for me without me having to tell her what to pray for.I told her not to follow her natural senses but by the spirit in her.It was a prayer need I had not share to anyone before.And it was my first time ever doing such thing.
Following that,e next paragraph that I read in Jack Deere book he shared his first experience he had when he ask his home group to pray and hear what God has to say for the people in the group & say it out.And e ones that spoke it out were all accurate!
Here's what he(Jack Deere) said:
"...I did something I had never done before.I told them that God is going to speak like that to us like that, now...He will give us impressions visions that will show us how to pray for people in our group.I encouraged everyone not be afraid of failing and looking foolish.The only way to find out the difference between an impression from the Lord and one coming from our own emotions would be to test our impression or vision in front of the whole group and risk looking foolish if we were wrong"
Lydia's reply :

Jac did you ask me to pray for you? I feel quite blur coz i can't find your messege at the moment. But I know I read it yesterday and prayed on the spot(last night at about 12.40am arh..!!). You told me not to go by the natural but by the spirit. And if wrong, nevermind. Heh heh. Very pressurising, you know? The one I got for *** is only like... my first of such encounter.

Anw, whether it's gonna help or not, here was what came to me:

I was like, "God this is so pressurising. How? What now?" Anw, I just went ahead and prayed in tongues. Then pray, pray, pray... still like... hm... ok... I even went to the washroom and speak in tongues continuously. Kay, yes I know that's not of your concern. So I returned to my room, set on my bed and ponder on what you said, "Dun go by the natural". Something like that and a sudden thought POPed in my head, "Where the spirit is, there is LIBERTY." I went to check up the verses with "liberty" and was pretty attracted to the first one I found(Dunno if it's purely out of curiosity or what) but was LAZY(yes lazy) to read up the chapter. Anyway the title stated for that section which contained the verse was, "The Year of Jubilee". I moved on to praying in tongues again hoping for some verse. Ever since the previous incident, I've been treating this kind of stuff like some toto session. The book of Timothy came to mind. Then it was "Timothy 4:1". Before I got off my bed(yes my bed again) I was prompted with, "1 Timothy or 2 Timothy?", by my spirit or myself(I dunno). So I felt like I was suppose to CHOOSE... Immediately I told myself, "2nd". So I looked up 2 Timothy 4:1. And I read the following verses too.

(oH MAN! Jac you won't believe what just happened. I went to www.heartlight.com and wanted to get that 2 Tim verse so as to conveniently copy-and-paste to this window for you to read. I clicked what I would always click and it brought me to a page with a passage entitled, "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, There is Freedom!" I almost could not catch my breath. Never had "a passage" displayed whenever I click what I would ALWAYS click. Right now arh, I'm trying to figure out how I ended up there. I clicked the "back" button and click the usual way. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Ok. I just realised that SOMEHOW... my finger pull the page slightly down and clicked wrongly. Clicked on a passage accidentally. I did not even know it was there! Wah... I almost could not catch my breath when i saw that title.)
I suggest that you read 2 Timothy 4:1 all the way to verse 18 yourself! NOW! On the double!
In Reply :
...you know, today is my e first time after so long that I woke up at 6 plus. so early???I like to sleep thru the nite and be up at about 8 refreshed by the morning breeze...Hee.It just feels good.
But I didnt know why, I decided to check my mailbox at this hour?!!I could have check it much later but no....God knows why.And he really knew why.Hee.
Hey?Inbox from Lydia...was pretty excited cause I was kindda "waiting" for your reply =)

Let me affirm you first that the word Liberty you received aint any coincidental thing but that was really what I needed.Nothing can be more precise than that.Tears almost welled up in my eyes =)
I was more than touched to receive this words of confirmation from Abba thru you.

After that I went back to bed to sleep.Hey, there must be something about beds.Hee~
Cause we seem to be receiving most of our revelation there!Haha
Or maybe is the sleep.ok ok.out of point.
Just before I got back to sleeping, He awoke me again & reminded me of 2 Timothy 4:7 several times.I didnt know what the verse was.
Then He reminded me again of the book I started reading yest by Kenneth Hagin. I could almost sense what he was already trying to show me. I flip open e first page and it was the verse I've been meditating yesterday. It was on the first page of the first paragraph! 2 Timothy 4:7.Nothing could be more exact than this.
The title for the page was Running the race...the Bible says you are not only to run the race, but you are to finish your race on course...
Exactly a month ago, I ask one of my fren to explain to me e verse Phil 1:6 God's been speaking to me. "And I am sure that God, who began a good work in you, will carry it on until it is finished on the day of Christ Jesus" He explain it together with Hebrew 12:1. This was also the main verse used on the first page I found 2 Tim 4:7. Following that, he wrote "...freedom from the past "
Bring this with you if you're lost in between...=)
God still speaks to His people today.You're not just an ordinary person but precious to Him =)You don't need to be only depended on your leaders or pastor as the only source God brings His Word to you. The Holy Spirit in them is the same in YOU.We are all sons and daughters of the Most High God.But of course be always ready to receive from your leaders and pastors as well! Pay close attention to the Word they give you. Because it's God that has annoited them to preach the good news to you.
Pray in tongues always. I realised that most often times He gives me the verses after I done so.It puts you in a position to know the things of the spirit.
Listen closely to the still small voice.If you ever hear Him speaking...Obey it. Because blessing is already ahead of you!
Grace rest on you His beloved!

The altar call

A cool entry by peer.Something not to be missed...=)love it.
The altar call
I always wondered why pple lack enthusiasm in clapping hands and cheering for pple going up to receive salvation. Even i myself was not particularly excited until the Spirit revealed this.. =) ever attended a wedding before? What happens when the door opens, the bride steps in and takes her well-rehearsed yet highly-looked-forward steps and walks towards the altar where the bridegroom and the pastor had been waiting all this while? Hahaha... this is exactly what happens when a person goes up to receive salvation! Jesus is the Bridegroom, who has been waiting since the beginning of age, and Ps Prince (or whichever pastor/speaker up there) is the officiating pastor! and doesn't the Bible say that the Church is the Bride of Christ? =)
Perhaps the steps of the pple are not as well-rehearsed or as highly-looked-forward as those of a real bride yet the experience is not that much different as one experienced in a wedding...=) Feelings of "what's life gonna be like after this", perhaps...  Feelings of  "don't know what is gonna happen to me in future", maybe... Feelings of "I feel like running away!", rarely but not impossibly... =)  etc etc etc.... =)
I've never been a bride in real life and i know i won't experience it at all in the natural... yet i know i've had a taste of the divine experience to be a divine Bride to a heavenly Bridegroom... =) i know those who are married or are getting married will be able to share more of the experience and feelings of walking down the aisle... but for me, every Sunday, i look forward to clap loudly and cheer gladly for those who are walking down the same aisle to come before the pastor and to the same Heavenly Bridegroom as i did before... and as i do tat, sometimes my thoughts bring me back to that same beautiful day that marked the beginning of my marriage-relationship with my beloved Jesus... =)
Be blessed, beloved Bride of Christ... =)
