easy access to we got talking, in the course of which i got to share about my accident & he revealed his mother & grandmother in Tokyo were Christian & often told him about his need to believe in Jesus :)
the bus trip was short, too short to delve into a full-gospel presentation, but i challenged his thought that "I'm too young to think about death" with the idea it'd be good for him to go walking through a cemetery & see how many young people died at his age (20) .. and his "not liking to think about it" is only going to do more harm than good ... PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM!
:D PRAISE God for godly mothers & grandmothers! :D - surely i am a blessed recipient of a godly heritage too :)

praise & pray for G & M (SDA)

- arab neighbours met on bus home last week ... being the end of ramadan, [the muslim month of fasting] gave us a good conversation starter! during the course of which i pointed out a major difference between Islam & following Jesus is that his standing before God is conditional upon his good works or lack thereof whereas with Jesus we can ALWAYS be 100% CONFIDENT of our standing before Him! left him with a tract about Eid-al-fatir (muslim festival post-ramadan]

this generation of believers will be accountable to God for this generation of lost souls.

praise & pray for Steven (AUS)

- met him as i got off the bus yesterday, he asked the driver for directions to Queen St mall and since i was headed that way thought i may as well be a spontaneous "tour guide" :P
1st stop: nearest toilet.
... found out he wanted to go to the casino :S
in the course of conversation i handed him a $1,000,000 tract, which after glancing at he said "it's ok i believe in God"

[my gut reaction was to take the tract off him & give it to someone whose heart was riper - in retrospect i should've quoted James 2:19 to him - i'm rarely 'on on the ball' in those moments & only now, 24 hours later do i think of it! >_<]
kept talking, and he thought his good deeds could cover over his bad deeds, to which i opposed ... he went off to the casino, reminded him to consider the $1,000,000 message seriously, i walked off to pray.
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON STEVEN!!
*PRAY*
* destroy any false concepts of who God really is in Steven's mind so he might come to know Him as The True, Living Lord of All!
* have mercy on Steven, open his blind eyes, unstop his deaf ears, breathe life into his dead soul! and give him the grace to repent from their sins, to God AND believe in Him!
* cause Steven to flee to the Saviour before it's too late!!
* Sovereignly intervene [i.e. give him other Divine Appointments with other members of our 'body' who'll share the gospel the way Jesus did] in his time here in Brisbane [he's not a local] to send him back 'home' an eternally-changed soul, to join the missionary force He's raising up there!

why not order the $1,000,000 tracts to give away for yourself?

Jud. 21:25

"In those days Israel had no king; and everyone did as he saw fit"

And so ends the book of Judges. This period in Israel's history was filled with shame, confusion and despair. The Lord Himself was supposed to be the king of this kingdom of priests. But the people given this high calling repeatedly dishonored His Name by worshiping false gods and doing what they saw fit to do rather than obeying their king's laws. It is easy to judge them for their disobedience when we read Judges. But don't we do the same today when we do as we see fit rather than obey the clear command of Scriptures to glorify God's Name among every nation?

King Jesus, we want to bring You glory. Teach us to obey You and to honor, not shame, Your Name among the peoples. source: www.global-prayer-digest.org <-- GO HERE & pray EVERYDAY!!GO HERE & pray for an unreached people group EVERY HOUR!! www.prayerguard.net

pray for me!

after being on a long trek'up' the mountain on this spiritual pilgrimage home, i find myself walking through lukewarm valley :|
i find in myself a condition of mournful carelessness & indifference, where there's an ever-widening gap between what i know in my head to be true vs. my life & action :"(

can feel the ugly sickening symptoms of becoming "lukewarm" - the kind of yucky gross person Jesus says He'll spit out of His mouth :"( [ Revelation 3]
asking Papa about why i'm going through this, He simply said:
"you don't understand why now, but that's not the point. just trust Me"

and trust Him i shall... but i need your prayers please!!
:D PRAISE! :D
:D He is worthy of praise.. on the mountaintop or in the valley!
:D everything He did in &through the previous season on the mountain!
:D His goodness is constant & never failing, even when i fail!
:D praise in advance for everything He'll achieve in &through this season in the valley!
*PRAY*
* deliver me from being moderate - 'avoiding extremes' - i'd not settle for being anything less than being radical, extreme, white-hot ON FIRE for God!
characterised by:
- progress in holiness
- love for God
- love for His Word
- love for His people
- love for those not His people that would show OBVIOUSLY in ACTION!
- constant communion with Christ

Jud. 13:5

"The boy is to be a Nazirite, set apart to God from birth"

The birth of Samson was announced to his parents in a special way because he was a special son. He was to deliver his people from their enemies, the Philistines. In the same way that Samson was set apart from birth for God's special purposes, we have been set apart by our "new birth." We are "sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy" (1 Cor. 1:2). God wants to use us in a special way to accomplish His purpose among the nations. He has set us apart for service as well as for worship.

Lord, we belong to You. You gave Your life for us. Now we give our lives back to You. Use us to bring hope and life to those who now do not know You.

Praise & pray for Suyeon (KOR)

a recent chat on MSN let me see Papa evidently working in her life since she let AUS!
read for yourself & give much praise as you do :D
"you know i was born in a catholic family ... i always thought he is a god who punish me ... but i was wrong .. he loves me so much ... i read bible .. it comforts me than any other things .. he has been helping me all the time .. i just didn't know that .. i didn't accept him .. but now i do .. it took so long .. but now i have no doubt .. he is waiting for me to bless me .. i have a bible you gave me"
:D working through His Word He blessed me with to pass to Suyeon!
:D revealing Himself to Suyeon!

* keep revealing Himself more & more to Suyeon,have mercy on her, open her blind eyes, unstop her deaf ears, breathe life into her dead soul and give her the grace to repent from her sins, turn to God AND believe in Him!
* cause Suyeon to flee to The Saviour before it's too late!!

* bind the deception that has captured so many hearts & minds, set the captives free to know Christ for who He really is & find full salvation through faith in Him alone!
* reveal Christ as The ONLY source of salvation to every precious soul caught up in the catholic deception, that they might find forgiveness & repentance from trusting in good works to prepare them for His Judgment Day!
* cause those in the "catholic church" to flee to Jesus, The ONLY Saviour before it's too late!!

Jud. 7:15

"When Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped God"

Gideon could hardly believe that God would use him to deliver Israel from Midianite aggression. He certainly didn't feel like a "mighty warrior" (6:12), even after God had confirmed His promise by signs and "fleeces." When God invited Gideon and his servant to eavesdrop on a Midianite conversation, Gideon quickly accepted, and the encouragement he received was what he needed to make the decisive attack. Like Gideon, we may be afraid that the job God has given us is too large. To take the gospel to about 10,000 people groups who still haven't heard is a tremendous job. But God is preparing receptive hearts, and He often encourages us by giving us glimpses of His activity among the nations.

- once again i'm discovering new depths of appreciation for God's gift of family =)

*PRAY*

* we'd be living blessings to our families, extending the blessings of unconditional love, acceptance & availability to those yearning for family!

- after a full day + night giving away FREE! POWERFUL! LIFE-CHANGING! books @ the Qld Baptist Convention, & eating a very hearty dinner [edited-out] decided to walk off some of the yummy-fattiness of the dinner & save a zone on my bus fare too :) the saving mightn't look like much ($0.10) but those 10 cents saved = 17 gospel tracts that could go to those who've yet to hear the name of Jesus in their own language!
seee http://www.gfa.org/tracts

Jud. 2:20-21

"Because this nation has violated the covenant that I laid down for their forefathers...I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died"

God commanded Israel to conquer all the peoples of Canaan and to assume possession of all the land. But the years were long and the battles hard, and Israel settled for less. Those nations left unconquered became their snare and eventually their conquerors. So today, when we reject or adulterate God's commands, our sins become the snares which frustrate God's blessings to us and through us. In particular, those peoples from whom we withhold the blessings of the gospel may become strong, bitter enemies of Jesus and His Church.

O God, help us not to grow weary in taking Your gospel to those people groups still needing to hear.

praise & pray for me!

there are days when what i'm praying for is horribly contradicted by my life :"(
there are days i feel so weak i feel like i just can't want to go on. :"(
there are days my flesh is just way too much in the fore that i lose sight of the reality of who i am in Christ :"(
there are days my heart is so cold to the perishing lost souls around me that i fail to fulfill the reason why i've been left on this earth, [certainly, the reason why i've been given a 2nd chance at life!] - to seek & save the lost, the way Jesus did!
... i need prayer!
:D PRAISE! :D
:D my feelings dont change the reality of who i am in Christ!
:D my weakness = blessing without which i'd never know His strength!
:D bringing me to greater appreciation of Christ!
:D using my disability to bring that [see above] about!
*PRAY*
* Christ be exalted in my weakness
* make my life a prayer to Him!
* revive my heart with his fire to go & seek & save the lost at every opportunity!
* keep me continually focussed on Christ & Christ alone!
* I'd live continually in His presence & serve in His strength - so the majority of my service will be not the work itself but ministering to Jesus - in everything to exalt Him, magnify Him & bring attention & praise to Him!
* i'd live with the ministry mindset of John 3:30 " He [Jesus] must increase i must decrease!"
* help me always seek the greater thing - sitting at His feet in love & adoration, wanting simply to draw close to Him & know Him more.
* I'd be REDUCED TO CHRIST!
* consume my heart with one desire; to love Jesus MORE!!!
* deliver me from measuring God by my own limitations!
* deliver me from treasuring my life such that 'd be unwilling to lay it down for others
* give me an immeasurable mind & willingness to suffer for His Great Name!
* give me GRACE-based thinking & GRACE-based living!

the truth of this song played in my mental jukebox as i went before The Father in my weakness .. may its truth encourage you in your weakness =)
His Strength is Perfect - by S.C. Chapman/Salley

1. I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
But sometimes I wonder what He can do through me
No great success to show
No glory on my own
Yet in my weakness He is there to let me know

CHORUS
His strength is perfect when our strength is gone
He'll carry us when we can't carry on
Raised in his power the weak become strong
His strength is perfect
His strength is perfect

2. We can only know
The power that He holds
When we truly see how deep our weakness goes
His strength is us begins
When our comes to an end
He hears our humble cry
And proves again

CHORUS

Praise & pray for us!

Josh. 24:15

"Then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve"

Choice is a great privilege-and a fearful responsibility. The greatest choice any individual or group will ever make is which god it will serve. In days in which "personal freedom" is exalted over all virtues, the call to serve another sounds like foolishness. Yet even when carnal men think themselves most free, they find themselves in bondage to lust, greed or material possessions. Scripture reminds us that God has created people for Himself, to love and serve Him. If we reject God and worship someone or something else, bondage results. When we serve God wholeheartedly, we experience freedom. In the words of a hymn, "Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free. Force me to render up my sword and I shall conqueror be."

Lord, give us hearts that are willing to make choices that honor You.

Praise & pray for us!

Josh. 7:9

"The Canaanites and the other people of the country will hear about this (defeat) and they will surround us and wipe our name from the earth. What then will You do for Your own great Name?"

At first, Joshua's response to the defeat at Ai predictably focused on the shame and reproach it brought to Israel. Then Joshua realized that the defeat would encourage the peoples of Canaan to despise Israel's God as well. Are we, as God's people, aware of the impact of our sin and disobedience on the nations of the earth today? Are we concerned about the scorn our spiritual weakness brings on the name of our God? Are we concerned enough to repent, confess our sin, and seek holiness?

O God, use us to bring glory, not shame, to Yourself. Your Name and renown are the desire of our hearts. Josh. 13:1 "When Joshua was old and well advanced in years, the Lord said to him, 'You are very old, and there are still very large areas of land to be taken over'" On the one hand, Joshua could have responded to this observation with discouragement. He had fought so long, and yet there was still so much to do. But God wanted the next generation of the Hebrew nation to participate in the excitement of His miracles. They too needed to be tested and to prove themselves faithful. Likewise, the recognition that some 10,000 peoples are without a church community can appear discouraging. But the job is "do-able" for those willing to serve the purpose of God in their own generation. Savior, we trust You to do great wonders among the nations! source: www.global-prayer-digest.org <-- GO HERE & pray EVERYDAY!!

Josh. 6:2-5

"See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. March around the city once for six days. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times.... Have all the people give a loud shout"

This certainly seemed like a strange formula for victory. But God's promise was based on His knowledge that all the earth is His. God didn't always use such an unusual approach in giving Israel victory over the peoples of Canaan. Usually the men would simply go to the battlefield and fight. But the victory was always the Lord's. So it is when we take the gospel to the peoples of the world. Sometimes God will move in unusual ways to bring sinners to repentance and believing faith. At other times His messengers must work for years and even decades before seeing fruit from their labors. But the victory is always the Lord's.

Lord, help us to recognize Your hand at work. Give us the patience to persevere with hope in evangelizing unreached peoples. source: www.global-prayer-digest.org <-- GO HERE & pray EVERYDAY!!

Josh. 5:13-15

"Joshua went up to the man and asked, 'Are you for us or for our enemies?' 'Neither,' he replied, 'but as commander of the army of the Lord have I come'"

This passage is very instructive. God is not "for" one people or "against" another. He is only "for" His purposes among all the peoples of the earth. The story is told of a lady who asked American President Lincoln during the Civil War, "Do you think God is on your side?" The great president wisely answered, "The question is not if God is on my side, but if I am on God's side."

Father, forgive us for our habitual self-centeredness. Help us to see the peoples and nations of the earth from Your perspective - as peoples who desperately need to hear and to receive the gospel.

ONLY NATURAL - by Steven Curtis Chapman
Mirror, mirror on the wall | Who's the biggest fool of all?
You don't have to answer me | 'Cause when I look at you I see
A prisoner set free from his chains | Acting like he's still a slave |To the prison he's been set free from | You may say its only natural for me to act this | Well, I know its only natural | But I have not been made
Chorus
Only natural, only natural
I've got the Spirit of the living God alive in me | Giving me power so I don't have to be Only natural, only natural

So mirror, mirror, look again | You've seen the fool that I have been | But did you see the grace that covers me | Not to do anything I please | In fact grace is the only thing | That makes me what I am not naturally
It's supernatural power brings life out of the grave | It gives sight to the blind man, and it will not let me stay | Only natural, only natural
I've got the Spirit of the living God alive in me | Giving me power so I don't have to be Only natural, only natural
Bridge
I know that on my own, I'm only human naturally | But I've got the Spirit of the living God alive in me | Giving me power so I don't have to be Only natural, only natural
I've got the Spirit of the living God alive in me | Giving me power so I don't have to be Only natural, only natural
:D One day this fallen flesh will be gone once & for all .. how i long for that day!
:D always showing me my utter hopelessness & helplessness to keep from filthy sin apart from Him!
* i'd be zero & Jesus Christ be 100%!
* i'd walk in the Spirit & flee all paths marked by the flesh!
* i'd keep walking in repentance & John 7:37-38 trust in Jesus!
"If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Rivers of living water will brim and spill out of the depths of anyone who believes in me this way, just as the Scripture says."
* i'd live a life of REALITY - reflecting who we i am IN CHRIST - righteous, perfect, spotless & blameless!

Deut. 30:15

"See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction."

God had finally brought Israel back to the land promised to them in His covenant with Abraham centuries earlier. In his farewell speech, Moses made explicit the nature of the choices then available to the nation-obey God and enjoy life, or reject His command and experience destruction. The Old Testament records the result of the tragic choices Israel made. Instead of becoming heralds, they became hoarders of the knowledge and worship of Jehovah. They chose how they wanted to obey the Lord, instead of obeying everything He said.

May we, O God, understand the clear choice before us. Use us to bless the nations, especially the remaining Muslim, Hindu, tribal, and Buddhist peoples who are still without a clear understanding of Jesus Christ. source: www.global-prayer-digest.org <-- GO HERE & pray EVERYDAY!!
