praise & pray for phones!

- got a packet of these unused phones
[to give to brothers & sisters in need/precious lost souls wanting to 'connect' with God)
from a precious sister working in a job she was blessed with in answer to prayer!

:D PRAISE! :D
:D in spite of my previous failures at being a good & wise steward of phones, He gives 2nd chances!

*pray*
* lavish me with heavenly James 3:17 wisdom in how, who & when I give these phones away!
* lead me to the right people to whom these phones could be useful in conecting them with God through Jesus!
* use these phones to impact eternity!
* provide a cheap (preferably free!) way of unlocking these phones as they seem to be network locked into the biggest rip-off telco in Australia!!
[no good if want to give to an international student]

[have you/anyone you know got old/unused/unwanted mobile phones? want them to bless others? I could even get broken ones fixed - way better than using it as a dust-collector/paperweight!]

praise & pray for Jaewon (KOR)

- met @ JoJo's conversation corner last week, then met before JoJo's yesterday. he told of how he'd lost his wallet the day before :|
so began the adventure of trekking with him through the city to see if he could a least get a replacement ticket for his monthy bus ticket .. getting tossed here & there by people we thought could help but couldn't . . . Jaewon doesn't believe in God, so I was praying God might make Himself known to Jaewon through this.. asked him if he wanted to pray - seemed to wantto but then declined.
eventually went back to where he bought the ticket and thankfully he kept the receipt! needed to pay for a replacement ticket but he didn't have cash nor a bank card.
now I was low on cash myself but thankfully there was enough in my bank account to EFTPOS :)
gave all glory to God . . . please pray for Jaewon :D
:D PRAISE! :D
:D letting him lose his wallet so I could spend more time with him!
:D blessing me to be a blessing to Jaewon!
:D for EFTPOS!
*pray*
* have mercy on Jaewon, make him a missionary to declare the praises of Him who called him out of darkness into His glorious light!
* reveal more of Himself to Jaewon & send him back to 'home' eternally-changed souls, to join the missionary force He's raising up there!

praise & pray for strange guy

- sitting on a comfy couch waiting to meet somebody, rading 'Heaven is so real" by Choo Thomas, an elderly man came & sat next to me & asked a passer-by about a bank I knew was around the corner, he saw my book, agreed with the title ... we got chatting ... in the course of conversation swung things from the normal to the spiritual. (how to do this? see: www.livingwaters.com/wdjd.shtml)
I suspected from some things he said that he might be delusional, going through the 10 commandments he rationalised his sin & even said he'd never committed adultery in his heart! (see Matthew 5:27-28)
. . . what to do if trying to share the gospel with a man who talks like he's delusional?!
!~PRAY~!
:D PRAISE! :D
:D He can save even delusional people~!
*pray*
* save this man, set him free from the lies he believes about heaven, hell & God, leading Him to Truth that makes men free indeed! John 8:36

Believers are raised with Christ, seated Him in the heavenly realms (Eph 2:6)

His judgement against sin is certain, but He delights in mercy, unwilling that any should perish (2 Peter 3:9)
Therefore, pray: muslims will repent from their sins & be saved

satan has blinded the minds of unbelievers (2 Cor 4:4)
Therefore, pray: the Holy Spirit will remove this blindness, so the light of the glory of Christ would shine in Muslim's hearts
The Word is living and active, judging thoughts & intentions of the heart (Hebrews 4:12)
Therefore, pray: the power of God's Word will convince Muslims & convince them it is The Truth
Faith gives substance to things hoped for, and evidence of things unseen (Hebrews 11:1)
Therefore, pray: converts from Islam will grow in faith in Christ, walking by faith daily!

the strongholds of satan can be demolished by prayer (2 Cor 10:4)

praise & pray for us!

Philippians 4:19

"And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus."

We have often quoted and remembered this precious promise in relation to our own physical and material needs. But how often have we remembered that these wonderful words were first spoken to those who had given sacrificially that others might experience the blessings of the gospel of Christ? (See II Corinthians 8:1-2.)

May God grant that we would exhibit the same spirit of sacrifice and joy in sharing the good things we have with others.

going home last night, transferred to get a bus closer to home (wanting to do minimal excercise these days to preserve my precious 'natural insulation'! :P)
. . . met T (his full name is toooOOOOooOOOoooOOOoooOOOoooOOOooooOOOooo long -- wish I could say it all!) we both thought we missed the more local bus to our neighbourhood so we caught an alternate bus together -

Philippians 1:21

"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."

What a testimony, what an aspiration! The apostle Paul may have been thinking of Jesus' words, "The Son of Man came ... to minister and to give His life a ransom for many." In a way, a pioneer missionary gives his life as a ransom for the people to whom he is sent. His ambition is to bring the good news so that people yet in darkness can experience God's salvation. What is your ambition? What is the surpassing goal of your life? Is it the same as Christ's, or are you focused on lesser things?

Lord Jesus, give us a new vision of Yourself in all Your beauty and holiness. Fill us with a passion for Your glory in all the earth. source: www.global-prayer-digest.org <-- GO HERE & pray EVERYDAY!!

praise & pray for us!

Philippians 1:12

"...what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel."

Paul was in prison, but he was rejoicing because his imprisonment had resulted in the spread of the gospel. What a tremendous example for so many of us who vacillate between self-centeredness and sacrificial living! How many of us would rejoice that personal adversity had advanced God's purposes among the nations?

Dear Lord, we pray that we may live so close to You that Your concerns become ours. May it not be said of us that we cared more for personal comfort than for those for whom You died. Help us to see with Your eyes. source: www.global-prayer-digest.org <-- GO HERE & pray EVERYDAY!!

praise & pray for suicide bombers

[pictured: a 16-year-old suicide bomber]

just read a real intreesting article RE: The psychology behind suicide bombings... no idea how I can put a link to it on this blog :P -- if you want to read please email me & let me know :)

THEY NEED PRAYER~!
:D PRAISE! :D
:D "A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I [Jesus] came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of." John 10:10
:D He is very much victorious over all evil schemes of the enemy to steal, kill & destroy!
:D all the enemy intends for evil will be turned around by Jesus for His glory!
*pray*
* have mercy on these impressionable youth in muslim lands & open their eyes to see past the empty lies & delusions they're fed & brainwashed with, reveal Truth to them that they might REALLY LIVE!
* Sovereignly intervene in the lives of those being trained up to become suicide bombers through dreams & visions of the Risen & Reigning Lord Jesus so they won't waste their lives for a false lie of guaranteed paradise with 72 virgins + all earthly forbidden desires gratified :S
[can anyone else see the absolute man-made-ness of this false religion?]
* reveal Christ to them & their would be 'proud families of martyr' before it's too late~!
* turn every episode of death & detruction wreaked by suicide bombers around to cause victims & onlookers to repent, lest they too perish!.
* we'd see many ould-be suicide bombers in heaven because of the way He answered our prayers & raised up laborers for the harvest among them!

praise & pray for Tua (TONGA) - update!!

praise & pray for us!

Ephesians 5:15-18

"Be very careful, then, how you live...making the most of every opportunity... understand what the Lord's will is...be filled with the Spirit."

The Spirit-controlled life is characterized by an appreciation for both the enormity of the task of world evangelization and the sufficiency of the resources available to accomplish the task. Christ commands us to "live on purpose," not to haphazardly slip and slide through life in ignorance or neglect of the purposes for which we have been redeemed and equipped.

Pray that God will enable you to live a purposeful and significant life. Ask Him to teach you how to intercede for the unreached so that you can be part of the task of declaring His Name to the peoples of the earth.

"homeless" people approached me as I was walking to the bus stop . . . I seem to 'attract' homeless people :)
wanted change to buy food, so went with them to 7-11, got them some food & drinks.
gave them gospel tracts, Peta asked Qns, talked with them before hey had to catch a bus to a friends place they could stay in for the night. parted ways with Troy, saidhe slept at he stairs of a church in the city. got on my bus & remebered I was carrying some biscuits (leftovers from church morning tea -- PLEASE NEVER EVER THROW OUT FOOD UNEATEN 'COS IT COULD BLESS OTHERS - CARRY LEFTOVERS WITH YOU & ASK GOD TO MAKE YOU A BLESSING TO SOMEBODY!
Peta's pregnant!

:D PRAISE! :D

* deliver us from our pride, love of worldly things & unbelief in His promises & goodness to provide our every need to freely give to bless others as richly as we've been blessed in Christ!

praise & pray for us!

Ephesians 4:14

"Then we will no longer be infants."

Paul teaches in this chapter that if the Body of Christ is working properly, one result will be responsible maturity in each congregation. All children have a self-centered viewpoint. Each of us began life focusing on one important individual-ME. Part of our growing to maturity is gaining a perspective of reality, which focuses attention on others. How many of our churches today, however, still struggle with this preoccupation with themselves and with their own kind of people! A healthy spiritual maturity expresses itself in a congregation's commitment to reach out to others-not just to others like themselves, but to others who have never had an opportunity to hear and obey the gospel.

Lord, lead us into selfless love for the peoples of the earth.

see:http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/Sermons/ByDate/2007/2162_Single_in_Christ_A_Name_Better_Than_Sons_and_Daughters/
:D the family of God grows not by propagation through sexual intercourse, but by regeneration through faith in Christ;¹
:D relationships in Christ are more permanent, and more precious, than relationships in families; :D marriage is temporary, and finally gives way to the relationship to which it was pointing all along: Christ and the church—the way a picture is no longer needed when you see face to face;
:D faithfulness to Christ defines the value of life; all other relationships get their final significance from this. No family relationship is ultimate; relationship to Christ is.

[picture taken where he shouted me a Hungry Jack's soft-serve cone after helping him transfer his old mobile # to his new SIM card after he lost his phone - God blessed him with replacement phone through me.. 8-D
[have you/anyone you know got old/unused/unwanted mobile phones? want them to bless others? I could even get broken ones fixed - way better than using it as a dust-collector/expensive paperweight!]

praise & pray for Marriage Enrichment Retreats (MER) -- aftermath!

:D PRAISE! :D
:D working to tranform lives through the recent MER!
:D as a result of your prayers, we have a new baby brother in Jesus!! WOOOOHOOO!!! [+ he's getting bptised this Sunday- no silly long delays!]
:D the marriages that've been saved/enriched through this retreat!
:D NOTHING the enemy tries to do to destroy God's institution will prevail!
*pray*
* continued life change & application of all that was learnt, that their marriages would be earthly reflections of the Divine marriage between Christ & His church!
* Christ be made to look great through the marriages of His people!
* keep drawing unsaved spouses to Jesus through the love, life-and-word witness of their saved spouses & friends!
* protect & grow brother Liu (our new baby brother in Jesus!!) in His image, especially as he goes back to his atheist homeland!

praise & pray for us!

Ephesians 1:3

"Praise be to...God, who has blessed us...with every spiritual blessing."

How grateful we are for the blessings the apostle details in this passage! Have we ever considered why God has blessed us? The immediate context suggests that we are blessed so others will "praise His glory" (Vs. 6, 12, 14). But what does that mean in our lives? God's original covenant with Abraham promised him blessings, and those blessings were to be regarded as resources to carry out a mission to "bless all the families of the earth (Zech. 14:17)." Surely our blessings in Christ Jesus are not different. Blessings are not for us alone, but to equip us to carry the good news of Jesus Christ to those who have never heard.

Father, make us a blessing.
