Jesus is so amazing! Last night I had experienced a spiritual attack. I planned to go to sleep early so around 8:30 I was already preparing to go to sleep but before that I saw the video "The forbidden Isaiah 53" and I watched it. I was amazed and once again broke my heart for the Jews. So, I began to see related study about it and suddenly I couldn't breathe. So, I stopped. I went to the toilet to check myself in the mirror. I took my nose spray and sprayed twice to each nose holes. I tried breathing through my nose but I can feel the air is not passing through. It's like the air was being blocked. Then I said, fine I will breathe through my mouth and lied down. But then suddenly I can't breathe through my mouth anymore and I sit up again trying to cough so I can take out what is blocking then it irritates my throat and I begun coughing continuously. I went out this time to drink my left over cough syrup and drank two glasses of water. Then Finah asked why I looked so pale but I did not explain it. I went back inside the room and tried to breathe but I can only breathe a little from my nose. I can totally feel the difference. I googled what might be causing it, tried dry drowning, acid reflux, and whatever I can think but I can't do anything and I can't explained it. I was not coughing the whole day. I am actually perfectly fine. So I decided to try to sleep. I turned on my worship songs, put another level of pillow behind my head, lied down and I remembered the passage I read that morning about a leper who asked Jesus to heal him if Jesus is willing and the centurion who asked for the healing of his servant in Matthew 8:1-9. So I began laying hands on myself and praying in tongues and I did pray, "I know God you are willing, help me Lord. I don't know what's going on but I rebuke every work of the devil right now under Your authority Jesus! I pray by Your Name Jesus every cells, every tissues that is not working properly right not will be healed. I give to You my lungs, my throat, my nose, my whole nasal system, respiratory system and everything in my body. I will wake up tomorrow fully restored like nothing happened and no signs of what happened and better than ever. In Jesus Name! and I just continued to pray in Jesus Name repeatedly and pray in tongues and I fell asleep. I woke up in dawn time and I am happily surprised that I'm alive and breathing perfectly fine!!!!!!! The last thing I remembered before everything went blank was I was just repeatedly praying and I guess I fell asleep in my prayers. God is so Good. My breathing today is extraordinary. You know the feeling of breathing a super fresh air like there's a mint. Something like that!..Amazing and as I continued reading Matthew 8:9-17. My eyes went so big and happy. His word is just awesome! It's still about His greatness, goodness and faithfulness in healing. I am so thankful that I know His promises. I know He got many more in stored for me someday and I will live to fulfill that. He is Faithful! Thank You Jesus!!!!!!! I woke up with so much thankfulness! ☺️
Matthew 7:13-14
The Narrow Way 13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because[a] narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. I believe most of us know these verses but I think we ALL need to be reminded of these verses from time to time. We all know that this world, this life can offer us many things. While walking in the woods earlier, taking my time, moving, meditating, listening to the worship songs playing from my phone while the only thing I can hear are the noise of the forest and praying in tongues I appreciate more what God has done to my life. We can easily he moved by what is happening around us. There's this taught, do we really hold life or does life hold of us? I am once again thankful that the Holy Spirit is so powerful in my life that I don't end up choosing what this world can give for my life to look so cool but the Holy Spirit has given me a heart that is ready to leave what can be offer in a fleshly lust of our eyes, in terms of material and relationships. I am thankful how God can really change one heart. To end my day with riding the flow and managing to get up, fall down and get up again, While riding the bus once again, and reading the book of Matthew I smiled and said, No matter what, I WILL CHOOSE THE NARROW ROAD! I will choose the hard way and seems difficult choices of life than to just simply cruise through life, than choosing the comfort of life, than holding on relationships not pleasing to God, holding on memories of people who have hurt us. People around who don't truly understand that feeling and contentment may think we are craZy or may oppose us but if you believe that what you do is what pleases the God of heaven and earth might as well DO IT! ☺️❤️💪🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻 Because at the end of the day not everyone will understand or agree with you but what matters most in life is what We have done for God and WHAT GOD HAS DONE IN OUR LIFE THROUGH OUT THE TIME. NO OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS IN LIFE CAN EVER SURPASS THAT! ☺️❤️ I know I will never be fully ready about anything but I AM READY LORD TO TRY AND KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE FOR ME ON THE OTHER SIDE OF CHALLENGE AND OBEDIENCE AND SACRIFICE. #THENARROWROAD#lifesurrenderedbacktoGod #simpleLife #laydown #thankful #timetoponder#LovebyMyFather #HisWordforMeToday Have you seen Favour in an Unfavourable circumstances?
Well, it may sound as weird as it is but 3rd or August 2017 was one of my unforgettable day and 4th which by the way is today is so far one of the happiest. Amazing how God can show His goodness out of unfavourable circumstances and taught me HUGE amount of wisdom at the same time and planned it all. He is always the best! Well, what's the story? So, I already know I am leaving Singapore on the last quarter of the year. The project I am involved "SUPPOSED" to end around August and I initially applied for volunteer work for East Timor for September but changed along the way to trip to Canada around March and my East Timor trip was moved to January of 2018. I felt like God wants me to spent time with my family first before going for mission. Around May I am so blessed to get a round trip ticket to Canada for 990 dollars(USD). That was a miracle. But June 28th my visa was not approved. Out of many circumstances I re-applied adding up more info I never thought necessary but one of those was my certificate of employment from my Australia trip that I just changed to Canada and changed the date of travel. In one sense I told myself I am really just going to have a vacation and I already booked my ticket which by the way is a requirement for the visa application. I hesitated but, I still send it anyways. The next few days was not really peaceful. I know it's not that big of a deal but my heart and prayer changed from "God I pray for my visa to be approved to God I don't mind just end the agony of waiting. All I want is a peace of mind. Somehow we can do very radical actions or taught thinking it will not be much of a harm but in the spirit it's a huge deal. I did shared it instantly to my best of friends Ella and Charity and they prayed with me. I had those moments when I hear a phone rang I felt anxious. I prayed then one Saturday I wrote a blog about the courage of Daniel and It brought me to a decision to do what is rightful, less damage is to actually just asked my Boss for that leave or inform him about me leaving. In that way it also moved me to inform him as well for my resignation. Thank God he allowed me and I also had given the chance to ask him if he wants me to stay until end of October to compensate and it turn out to be a huge favour for them. I may have turned down my promotion but increase still came along in the midst of this. I instantly message Ps Hong Teck about informing my Boss about me leaving and He said, "God will honour that. Break the contract but not the relationship. Leave the company with good relationship with the people because someday in our call we need that influence." Exactly my prayer. I want to leave a footprint of God in my workplace so after a week my site manager disapproved my leave and I never argue for it and just prayed that the visa application turn to which is best but I knew already what God will do. The turnover of our project was moved to 2nd week of September which clashes to my Canada trip and I sincerely asked and prayed the other way this time. I want to leave the project smoothly and those crucial dates are very important to maintain that good relation to the people I have worked for this past 4 years. August 2 one of the leaders shared about the bible study of certain books that I am interested but clashed with Canada trip again, but unlikely and unusual that he wrongly booked through my account and end up I was the one registered as I got a confirmation in my email. That moment I already had a feeling and August 3 came and I guess you already know the end my visa was still not approved and I was happy about it. Was the application not part of God's plan? I think it is included. Apart from it I will not have the strength and courage to finally make a decision. Somehow booking that Canada trip pushed me to both have a final decision for the church and my workplace. Because of that as well I was extended to October instead of the September original plan. Extra time with my spiritual family in Singapore and I had my salary increase just this July and I believe an extra full 3 months will be very helpful for my saving instead of using an unpaid leave and expenses in Canada and I have the budget for the trip I promised for my sister because on top of everything I was able to refund about 85% of the flight ticket. The exact day I called they cancelled my flight as well. I received an email receiving an amount as a refund and I was fine with it until I called POSB late night to actually realized the amount is in USD. God has never failed to surprise me. I was like, "what? It seems like the deduction was just 100over dollars plus cancellation fee. It felt like God made me save that money for a reason. I couldn't explain the joy that I had. Amazingly the book I am reading testified about Ps Steven Furtick grandpa who was a faithful man of God but the last 10 years of his life he was just praying for his wife to recover from Alzheimer's disease. It never happened. In fact he died 18 months earlier than his wife but what matters most is that he remain faithful until the end even the prayer did not seems to come to pass. That was incredible that God actually made me read that early in the morning. It made my bad news so small compare to that situation. But the most important lesson is that I realized that as followers of Christ, small or simple what may not be pleasing to God is already a huge deal, we may not be perfect, we fail, we sin but what will matters most already is not about us but about the God we worship and I am thankful that God is gracious enough to hear my prayers and honestly all I have in my heart was to protect the NAME behind my name. That NAME is JESUS. Somehow I am always amazed how God works behind the scene. Truly a "ROMANS 8:28 MOMENT". Romans 8:28 (NIV)28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, according to his purpose. Then as for today 04 Aug. 2017 I am just so amazed how God back it up with more revealation throug the verse, 1 John 5:14-15New King James Version (NKJV) Confidence and Compassion in Prayer 14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. |
