"… Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath." Heb. 6:16-17
God promised Abraham that he would receive blessings and that he in turn would become a blessing to all the families of the earth. After Abraham had demonstrated his faithfulness to the Lord in offering his son Isaac (Genesis 22), God confirmed the promise with an oath. This is the event referred to by the writer of Hebrews, who affirms that the reason for the oath was to make the "unchanging nature of his purpose very clear." God is committed by oath to bless His people and through them to bless every family (people group) of the earth.

Father, thank You for making Your purposes so clear to us, heirs of the promise to Abraham.

pray for us!

"Let us therefore make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall…" Heb. 4:11
What a beautiful paradox: "make every effort to enter that rest." This verse simply summarizes the biblical balance between resting in God's work and striving to accomplish God's purposes. Any effort which is not based on a reliance on God's work is vain and futile. Yet at the same time, we must not sit back complacently because of what God has already accomplished by creation and redemption. We must diligently labor while placing our confidence in God's power working in and through us to accomplish the task before us.

Pray that you will work faithfully in prayer for the unreached, and that you will rest in the confidence that He will complete your work.

pray for us!

"Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness." Heb. 3:13
How easy it is to be caught up in sin's deception, thereby losing the joy Jesus has promised us. One of sin's most enticing deceptions is the insistent call to look out for our own interests first. In contrast, God's Word tells us that when we seek God's kingdom and His righteousness, He will take care of us. We need daily encouragement, and a major purpose of this daily devotional guide is to encourage each of us to adopt as our own God's concern for the salvation of all peoples. To know of their need and of God's love and to do nothing is to become hardened in our hearts.

Dear Father, please make our hearts sensitive to Your love, not only toward us but for those who still do not know about Jesus.

"In putting everything under Christ, God left nothing that is not subject to Him. Yet at present, we do not see everything subject to Him. But we see Jesus…" Heb. 2:8-9
"God left nothing that is not subject to Him (Jesus)." That is the goal, the way things will be, both in our own lives and in the whole world. "Yet at present, we do not see everything subject to Him." That is the situation now. Our task, then, is to move from the present situation to the goal. Our work is to proclaim the message of Christ so that some from every nation are persuaded to become His disciples and responsible members of His Church. In this way many who are not yet subject to Him will voluntarily bow the knee before the day He returns to reign uncontested.

King Jesus, we bow in adoration! Reign over the nations in power and glory.

:D Nothing i can do today will make God love me any more, and nothing i can do today will make God love me any less!!!

:D Father is not disillusioned with me because He had no illusions about me to begin with!

:D Because shame, guilt and condemnation have no role in helping me live in God’s life, He's removed them in Christ and does not manage them for my growth!!!
:D He wants to make himself known to me daily and teach me how to recognize and follow His voice!!!

* PRAY*

Heb. 1:2
"...He has spoken to us by His Son, Whom He appointed heir of all things, and through Whom He made the universe."
This great statement affirms that Jesus Christ shapes the boundaries of human history. He is the beginning, the Creator of all things, the Maker of everything that exists. And He is the end, the focal point to which all history is moving. Since Christ is the beginning and end of human history, what a tragedy that 40 percent of the world's population has little chance of knowing Him! They are cut off from any effective means of learning about Jesus by barriers of religion, culture, language, and race.

Lord Jesus, we praise and thank You for redeeming us. Enflame our hearts to give to others the knowledge we have received.

pray for us!

"I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ." Philemon 6
It has been observed that only when we share the gospel across cultural barriers can we fully comprehend the gospel message ourselves. When we see the truths of the gospel through the eyes of another culture, those truths come alive for us in a new way. Sharing our faith with another people group forces us to examine what in our worship must be universal and what is only cultural. Perhaps the confusion which pervades so many of our churches about the content of the gospel message is due to our failure to seriously share this message with other groups.

Pray that a frontier missions priority in our churches will result in our greater understanding of "every good thing we have in Christ."
HELL'S BEST KEPT SECRET!

"All Scripture is God-breathed, and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Tim. 3:16-17
What a tremendous promise-"thoroughly equipped for every good work!" One great challenge in thrusting a new generation of laborers into the harvest is providing training in the Word of God. New means of training tens of thousands of cross-cultural workers must be found to supplement the excellent education provided through the years by existing Bible colleges and seminaries.

Father, use Your Word as You have promised to equip existing and prospective missionaries to proclaim Jesus to Muslims, Chinese, Hindus, Buddhists, tribals, and others without a church of their own.


" no one has the right to hear the gospel twice, while there remains someone who has not heard it once"
– Oswald J Smith
Nearly 3 BILLION souls are WAITING to hear the gospel.
HOW L O N G MUST THEY WAIT??
Could a mariner sit idle if he heard the drowning cry?
Could a doctor sit in comfort and let his patients die?
Could a fireman sit idle, let men burn and give no hand?
Could you sit in ease in Zion with the world around you damned? --Leonard Ravenhill.

"…and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus." 2 Tim. 3:15
Have you considered what it might be like for the thousands of peoples in today's world who do not have the Bible in their own languages? Think of the help and comfort you receive daily from God's Word-to say nothing of the most basic knowledge of new life in Jesus Christ. Pray today for those who are struggling to make God's Word clear and understandable in people groups where the knowledge of Christ has not broken through.

Pray that God will provide His Word for those who have never heard by using you in praying, giving, sending, or going!

"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the Word of truth." 2 Tim. 2:15
God has committed His Word to us-the revelation of who He is and the statement of His purpose for us. In order to "correctly handle" this Word, we must understand and use it as God intended. God outlined His purpose for mankind in the Garden of Eden and His plan to accomplish that purpose in His covenant with Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3). God's deepest concern is to bring people from every nation (cultural group) into fellowship with Himself. Today about 8,000 of these cultural groups have no Christian community in their midst. Our correct handling of the Word of truth will place priority on God's clearly-revealed purposes for these unreached peoples.

Lord, open our eyes to understand Your Word, and then lead us to obey what we learn.

my English corner group Today [looked at Amazing Grace]

:D PRAISE! :D

:D His Grace, as AMAZING as it is, is TRUE!

:D making all nations & deciding to bring SO MANY from the mission field here at this time in their lives!
- also met Mikal & Minji - Minji was disillusioned with Christianity at the bad testimony of "christians" yet admires those with stong faith . . .


*PRAY*
* so work in their lives [as He did in John Newton's life -- the writer of "Amazing Grace"] so they too would join in the praises of His glorious grace!

* give them a Divine discontent with themeselves & this world, causing them to hunger & thirst to know this God of AMAZING grace!

* reveal Jesus as The True Lord to these precious souls, bring them to repentance & faith in The Only Saviour before it's too late!

* provide them with friends / accomodation/jobs that will go towards the ends prayed for above :)
* work by His Spirit through all the 'English corners' globally to draw lost souls into Living, Personal Relationship with Himself!
see
http://ibrisbane.net/englishcorner - look for the "World Free English Classes Timetable"
* Nations would be impacted as they send their bright future leaders abroad to study English!
* have mercy on them & send them back to 'home' eternally-changed souls, to join the missionary force He's raising up there!
* keep providing more teachers/ helpers to reduce group sizes for better quality time with students

*** ETERNITY WILL SHOW THE FULL FRUIT OF OUR PRAYERS- BE ENCOURAGED!!***

"Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus." 2 Timothy 2:3
The military metaphor has fallen on hard times in many parts of the evangelical community. Yet there are many ways in which a committed Christian is like a soldier. Paul speaks here of a Christian enduring hardship like a soldier. Why does a soldier endure hardship? To win! He sees the commander's cause as the overriding priority of his life, and does whatever is required of him to win the battle. How much hardship are we ready to endure to see Jesus Christ seal His victory over Satan, so that people from every people, tribe, tongue, and nation may recognize Him as Lord?

Lord Jesus, make us good soldiers!

"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline." 2 Tim. 1:7
What a beautiful description of the inheritance received by God's people, including those taking the good news of Christ into new cultural groups! "Power, love, and self-discipline." Those who will establish new churches must know the power of God to overcome both spiritual and cultural barriers of understanding and acceptance. They must share the love which God has for other peoples-peoples different from themselves. They must exercise the control and discipline of God's Spirit to accomplish difficult work.

Pray that today's pioneer missionaries will exercise the power, love, and self-discipline of the Holy Spirit in their lives and ministries.

"Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care." 1 Tim. 6:20
Each of us has received a "trust" from God; that is, a deposit of knowledge, resources, and gifts. God expects us to exercise responsible stewardship of this "trust," both to maintain it and to invest it so as to accomplish His purposes. This is the essence of stewardship: using resources to fulfill responsibilities. God entrusted to Abraham a "blessing" which he was to use to "bless the other families of the earth." Each of us has received a similar "deposit" from the Lord. What kind of stewardship are you exercising?

Lord, help me to be a faithful steward of all that You have given me, using it to bring Your salvation to those who still need to hear.

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." 1 Tim. 6:10
Jesus clearly said, "No man can serve two masters…you cannot serve God and mammon (which means gain or advantage)." God created us with a need to love Him. When we turn from loving God as a central focus in life, we try to fill that void by devoting our love to something far less worthy than the Lord. And whatever we love that is less than God soon becomes "god" to us. If we substitute the love of money for the love of God, we open ourselves to a myriad of sorrows and disappointments.

Father, keep us from greed. Fill our hearts with love for You, our Provider and Sustainer, and with commitment to Your purposes.

"But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that." 1 Tim. 6:8
Food and clothing: the list is short when we tally the real necessities of life. Even if we expand this list (e.g., adding shelter, health, etc.), the list is still much shorter than that of our monthly budget. Today a bottleneck in frontier missions expansion is due to a lack of funding for new ventures. Mission agencies are willing to lead. Young people are willing to go. But finances are not available. Why? Did God miscalculate the resources needed to accomplish His work? Or have those resources, committed to his stewards, been diverted to other uses?

Father, may we be found faithful stewards of what You've given us.

i may be stupid **but** THE FINAL WORD IS: I AM LOVED!! lost in a MAZE of grace!!

i got stuck in a toilet tonight.
trapped by my own stupidity & i wannted get out of there or die!

Papa God has a sense of humor. He's the inventor of funny!!

tonight was definite evidence of that.
for the most part of the last i don't know, few weeks/months,
i've been feeling like if there was a King of stupidity, i'd be wearing the crown - backwards of course, or inside-out, as i seem to do so often with actual pieces of clothing i wear (!!)

it seems without even trying very hard, almost naturally, i seem to keep getting into situations purely the result of my own stupidity

--only then to have to wait for someone, somehow, to go to great lengths to get me out of the pits of stupidity i keep digging for myself & then fall into ...

tonight was another normal session of the Kairos missions course [see www.kairoscourse.org], and all was going well until . . .

the terrible, horrible, no-good, very-bad toilet door lock jammed on a brother.

the ession ended well, when i was called upstairs to pray with some brothers & sisters [for what i still don't know, funny how Papa God turned me into being a new prayer item!!]

whilst waiting for the others to arrive for prayer, quite naturally, nature called & i answered.
guess which toilet i went into.

.

.

.

yep, that one.

guess which toilet i not only went into but locked!!

yet again the
terrible, horrible, no-good, very-bad toilet door lock claimed a new victim, only this time it had captured me, and it would take nothing short of a complete destroying of the door lock to get me out.

(whereas in the past all it took to get others out was a mere hit to burst the door open, or in the latest case tonight some desperate fiddling with the lock & some car keys)


i banged & twisted the knob with all my "might" [ie not alot!], all to no avail.


the thought never even occurred to me to shout/cry out for help ... pride is SO STUPID!
with my mobile phone i called a brother who should've been outside praying informing him i'd been locked in the toilet ...

just imagine how incredibly stupid i was feeling, knowing full well just half an hour ago this toilet had trapped another victim, after locking the door.

thankfully my dad & brother Mun were still around, hopefully they could bash the door down or dismantle the lock.

i cowered in awe at the sheer force with which they tried to break open the door, thinking the whole room would crumble & fall into a heap on me. what a way to die :P

i'm still dumbfounded that for some unfathomable reason, Papa God still wants me alive!

He gave me life again 6 years ago after a near-fatal scooter accident [again, victim of my own stupidity] left the doctors treating me dismissing me as a hopeless case. if anything i'd be permanently comatose, or a human vegetable, or confined to a wheelchair, or a youthful entry into a nursing home ...

reflecting upon my helpless situation, i did the only thing i knew i could - pray.

after all, the only reason why i'm not
permanently comatose /a human vegetable /confined to a wheelchair / a youthful entry into a nursing home was because Papa God chose to work trough the prayers of His people & give me life again from sure death!

the song "God will make a way, where there seems to be no way" played in my mind. i sung it softly, but i really should've shouted it at the top of my lungs!

crumbling under the weight of my perceived gross stupidity, i guess.

how could such a fool sing in a situation like this?!
and yet i did!
. . . such is the wonder of being in Living, Personal Relationship with the King & Creator of The Universe, that even in the deepest pits of self-inflicted darkness, there is rMUCH ABUNDANT reason to sing - SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS GOD!

as my dad & brother Mun tried all they could to fre me, i wondered if i was really worth the effort.

my miraculous recovery from the accident should've proved beyond doubt that i was, yet i must be so thick-headed [or just plain deceived into believing the same old lies i'd bought into ever since my teen years] as to even ponder the option of jumping out the window & perhaps ending my life in a messy heap, making null & void all efforts thus far to get me out.

i didn't want to inflict such pain on those who love me, and yet
how much longer could i stand living like this??
with my pride completely pummeled to dust & feeling like i must be a horrible burden on those who knew me, surely people had better things to spend their time & effort on than help me out of another stupid situation i'd gotten myself into??

in the deepest pits of my despair, Papa God reached down to me & lifted my head. =D 8D :D
He seemed to be saying to my heart: "I love you, I am for you, I will help you, I made you, you are Mine, you are precious & valuable to me. STOP THINKING SUCH SELF-DESTRUCTIVE THOUGHTS, MY CHILD, I'M GONNA GET YOU OUTTA HERE!!"

[see Psalm 118 & 139)

the reality was, in spite of all my distorted perceptions of myself, Papa God was right there with me
in the deepest pits of my despair. He is Mighty to Save, He delights over me with gladness, calming all my fears with His love & rejoicing over me with joyful singing! (see Zephaniah :17)

i don't need anything in this world.
all i need is grace, the AMAZING grace of the Papa God who loves me with an undying love, which is unchanging truth!
after coming home, i asked my dad, "i'm so stupid. how can you keep loving me???"
dad's reply *smiles* "you're not stupid!!"
[you're my son -- not spoken but understood in my hrt :)]

blessed truth. O, to STAY FIXED IN HIS TRUTH & NOT MY DECEPTIONS!
"Who Am I - Casting Crowns"
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapour in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours


.

.


end of story.
CASE CLOSED!

a much-needed reminder that it's never my perception of things that matters but ONLY what The Father thinks
that matters in the end!

God has spoken:
"YOU ARE LOVED"
truly i need much grace to unlearn all the lies i've held onto & believed all my life that i cannot be loved, or i'm too
*insert every self-degrading description you can think of here*,
or that i am simply unlovable.

another timely reminder through my God-given dad that i'm not loved because of anything i do / don't do, but always, in spite of who i am, i'm loved BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS, AND HE IS LOVE!!


so find me here. lost in a maze of grace.

i'm trapped & i hope to never get out of here!
such AMAZING grace gives life to the dead, finds the lost, gives sight to the hopelessly blind.
it even gives worth to the worthless, . . . !!!

"i will both lay down my head & rest, for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety" -- Psalms 4:8.
need your prayers that i stay fixed & resting in His grace, please tell me how i can best support you before His throne of Grace too!
15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin.

16Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.


Hebrews 4:16



Listen to this passage

New International Version (NIV)


Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society

pray for us!

"For we brought nothing into this world, and we can take nothing out of it." 1 Tim. 6:7
In Luke 16:1-13, Jesus told the story about a wise steward who was found short in his accounts and was about to be fired. This steward commendably used his position to gain favor with his employer's customers in order to make provision for his future. God makes clear that we cannot carry material wealth out of this world. But we can invest material goods in things that last forever-the destiny of men. Every dollar we contribute to frontier missions outreach pays eternal dividends. It's true that we can't take money with us-but we can send it on ahead.

Pray that God will give us the wisdom to invest our money in things that last forever.

pray for us!

"But godliness with contentment is great gain." 1 Timothy 6:6
A materialistic society tends to measure gain exclusively in financial or material terms. Paul here reveals God's counter-cultural value system. Gain is not measured by material wealth, but by a godly contentment with what we have. Can you imagine what would happen if every committed Christian were to covenant with God to be content with necessities and to use extra funds to support new missions outreach? What a fantastic leap in world evangelization would result from such a response!

God, give us Your perspective on things. Teach us to be faithful stewards of Your gifts.

praise& pray for ships' ministry!


is coming down under~!
got a call this morning - have been accepted as a volunteer!
:D rejoice with me!! :D
:D all He has done in & through the ministry of ships like the Doulos, Logos II, Logos Hope & others!
:D The ship being able to visit Australia this yr!
:D 30 second spots are now being played daily on radio stations in Brisbane, Toowoomba, Caboolture, Sunshine Coast... and soon, the Gold Coast too!
:D open doors for publicity. It's amazing that the latest in the computer world can also be used to get the message out - even Facebook! Check out the latest video clip posted on Facebook by Jiamin Choo, the line-up team leaderhttp://www.facebook.com/n/?event.php<http://www.facebook.com/n/?event.php&eid=24710517999> &eid=24710517999.
*PRAY*
* unite the whole body of Christ to catch a vision to be involved with the Doulos Down Under visit - the purpose of which is to glorify God by sharing the gospel in partnership with local initiatives and to motivate and mobilise the Aussie church for global mission.
* the flyers and programmes, still at the printers. will have good coverage for the arrival of the world’s oldest passenger-carrying-ship to Brisbane.
* good times of rest for the team as they cope with an increasing volume of work.
* wisdom & ability to the line up team as they organise everything preparing for the ships' visit!
* the 330 strong Doulos crew. It is a six-day voyage from Wellington to Brisbane and then will have to go through immigration and quarantine here.
* Pray for good relationships to be formed with individuals and churches in Brisbane through teams going out and people visiting the ship. Of course, the normal jobs done on board every day need to continue. There's always work to do in the kitchen, dining room, laundry, book exhibition, engine room, information desk, security & safety watches, program dept etc. If you would like to get to know a crew member better you can register for the Adopt-a-Douloid program.
* empower & enable the volunteers helping with various aspects of the ships' visit to be a blessing to many!
There may be opportunities to take someone out for the day or even overnight. Some crew members will have a longer break and are looking for suitable places to be able to get away. For example, a message has come that two Indian male crew members would like onshore accommodation from 30 July to 1 August. If you, or your church,
want to be involved in any of these ways email Ian & Ruth Crowe at qld@au.om.org

pray for us!

1 Tim. 4:12 "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity."
Many of those today whose lives are focused on frontier missions are young people. Sometimes older Christians may lightly dismiss the enthusiasm and commitment of youth such as these and call it "youthful vigor" or "naive idealism." God's Word instructs us to learn from younger brothers and sisters whose lives demonstrate godly zeal and wisdom.

Pray for younger leaders who are seeking to lead their generation in obeying the Great Commission. Pray that God will use their energetic "youthful vigor" for His glory.

pray for us!

I Timothy 3:16
"… [God] appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory."
Many scholars have identified this verse as part of an early Christian hymn or liturgy. This hymn is a good example of the missionary emphasis found throughout the worship of the early church: "Christ was preached among the nations." How clearly can we see God's missionary heart in the worship of our churches today?

Gracious Lord, give us a clearer vision of Yourself as the Missionary God. May our worship reflect Your character and concerns.

pray for us!

"This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." 1 Tim. 2:3-4
God is no respecter of persons. First-century Jews believed that God wanted their own people to be saved, but they were much less sure about His concern for non-Jews. Surely many of the first-century Gentile Christians struggled with similar prejudices. Our natural tendency is to think that God loves us a bit more than people who are different from us.

Father, forgive our frequent self-centeredness. Lead us into sacrificial love for peoples who differ from ourselves. Give us love and grave for others.

PLEASE pray 4 me!

Don't give glory to us, O LORD. Don't give glory to us. Instead, give glory to your name because of your mercy and faithfulness. -- Psalms 115:1

just quick post coveting your prayers for me as i [badly] attempt to coordinate this Kairos course.

i probably shouldn't have volunteered to coordinate this as admin. is SOOOO NOT my gifting, discovering afresh how tardy & shoddy are my organisation skills (or lack of!)

praise God, by His incredibly AWESOME grace it's still going along pretty well, but i plead for your prayers for me to not waste much time & energy succumbing to my self-destructive thought patterns :{

pray i keep focused on JESUS, & REST fully in Him!

praise God i'm a M.I.T.M. :D = Masterpience in The Making :)
pray i stop stepping on people's toes!
pray He CHANGES LIVES & WORLDVIEWS through his course going on globally as i type ;)
~THANK YOU~!

praise & pray for Bishal (GUJ)

met Bishal on the bus home.. ever i'm amazed at how Papa has brought those from the mission field to us! :)
shared photos of my accident with him, how Jesus sved me from death .. apparently Bishal also experienced 'saving' from his "gods" ..
grrr..
the LORD rebuke the devil, who counterfeited HIS miraculous saving me from death miracle in the lives of others so they be kept fom The Only Saviour! :"(
do praise & pray for Bishal !! :D rejoice with me! :D
:D He's bringing precious souls from the mission field here - OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND TO REACH THEM WITH THE NEWS OF ETERNAL LIFE -- MANY FROM LANDS 'CLOSED' TO FPREIGN MISSIONARIES -- LET'S GET ON WITH SEEKING & SAVING THE LOST, BROTHERS & SISTERS!!
:D the gospel is HIGHLY PORTABLE!! [why not order some for the lost souls He'll bring across your path?! see : http://www.operation513.com/shop
*PRAY*
* The Lamb of God who was slain would receive the reward for His sufferings in every precious lost soul from the mission field He's brought here caught up in deception! "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power. for You created everything, and it is for your pleasure they exist and were created - Revelation 4:11
* God in His mercy would not let Bishal waste his lives giving glory to anyone/anything else but save him so he might bring pleasure to Him!
* have mercy on him, send him back 'home' an eternally-changed soul, to join the missionary force He's raising up there!

pray for us!

1 Timothy 2:1-2
"I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for everyone-for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives …."
Political leaders have tough jobs. Ours is not an easy world to rule, with competing factions, complex political structures, fluctuating economic conditions, explosive population growth, and increasing violence. Paul's encouragement to pray for our political leaders should remind us of the crucial role they often play in the spread of the gospel throughout their realms of influence.

Pray that the Lord will turn the hearts of rulers in many "closed countries" to Himself to allow for an open door for the gospel message.

* prepare a good family for him to "plug into" when he's @ home who'll nurture him to his FULL potential in Christ~!
* help him to see Himself & live life through the eyes of Papa - NEW CREATION!!

2Co 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have disappeared, and-look!-all things have become new!

pray for us!

"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." 1 Tim. 1:15
Why did Jesus come? Over and over again the gospel record clearly says that Jesus came into the world with one central purpose: to minister and to give His life as a ransom for all who would accept Him. He did not come for the religious or the (self) righteous, but for those who were and are aware of their own spiritual need. Our role is to take this "good news" to those who have had no opportunity to hear.

Pray that God will use us today, this week, and this month to share this "good news."

=D~rejoice with me~ =D
:D blessing me with Himself!

:D giving me increased appetite for HIs presence & Himself!
:D dramatically decreasing my desires for "things" that aren't HIm!!
:D i am MORE than the totality of my failures!



:D i am ETERNALLY, UNFAILINGLY, UNCONDITIONALLY ***LOVED*** IN LAVISH MEASURELESS MEASURE!!!
:D He is my life!

:D i have been crucified with Christ, and i no longer live but Christ lives in me!!
:D showing me my true identity in Christ [go here! http://www.theschoolofchrist.org/students/?p=15]

:D because of the point above, i now enjoy sweet victory over habitual sin!
:D His grace is TRULY AMAZING~!!
:D every trouble that's blessed because it drives me to know Christ, and seek help & salvation from Him!
:D constantly revealing afresh to me WHO He really is & who i am in Him so i might LOVE HIM!

:D graciously revealing new depths of my sinfulness - keeping my desperate need for Him ever constant!
:D the gift of disability which brings the gift of time [somewhat! :S] so i might seek Him & know Him more~!


*please PRAY with me & for me*
* grace to wait for God's counsel, & grace to NOT be given up to my own hearts' lusts, to NOT walk in my own "wisdom"!!
* keep me ever realizing that i cannot do a single thing but trust in His Life!
* i would constantly & deliberately Trust in His Life to conquer sin & self, on my behalf because i cannot!
* i'd STOP "trying" to work for Christ & just LET CHRIST WORK THROUGH ME!!
* wisdom & guidance to coordinate the Kairos course & STOP focusing on the little things i dont do as well as i should, focussing on all GOD can do in & through my weak foolishness!!

--scroll down to see post "!!~praise & PRAY 4 the Kairos course~! [see www.kairoscourse.org]"

* teach me to use my gifts [what are they??!!] to further His purposes for all nations!
* i'd decisively get into the habit of trusting in His Life, to cease striving in the flesh & humbly accept the Cross, dying DAILY to self, losing my life so i can find True Life!!
* i'd Grow by giving away & Accumulate by pouring myself out!
* i'd give up trying to reform myself & submit to the work of the cross so His Life lives in me!
* this would be true of me: if He does not move, I dare not step out ahead of Him.
I will work, but I will not work according to the flesh.
Instead, I will work according to His Power that works in me mightily, this power that strengthens me to do all things, this power that is perfected in my weakness.
I no longer hide my weaknesses, I rejoice in them, and I look for Christ in me to overcome them all.
I have surrendered myself over to Him as a bondservant, as a prisoner of the Lord. If I live, I am the Lord’s. If I die, I am the Lord’s.
So in life and in death, I belong to Him.
* keep me ever walking FORWARDS to Christ & FORGETTING what lies in the past!
* increase my hunger for ETERNITY & infect others with it too~!
* keep me madly, passionately in love with Jesus!
* keep me seeing through the illusion of my possessions. God owns everything. I'm only a steward, i don’t own anything!! my life is not my own, pray for grace to LAY IT DOWN, GIVE UP MY LIFE!!



thanks SO much~! appreciate you . . . for an eternity :)

lyrics of a song Papa brought back into my life at *just* the right time! [rejoice with me as you let the truths of this song sink deep into your heart - BE REFRESHED BY HIS AMAZING GRACE!



Friend of Sinners - Matt Redman

There is a voice that must be heard, there is a song that must be sung; there is a name that must be lifted high.



There is a treasure more than gold, there is a King upon the throne; there is One whose praise will fill the skies. His name is Jesus, Friend of sinners, Jesus, Jesus, Friend of mine. There is a peace that calms our fears, there is a love stronger than death; there is a hope that goes beyond the grave. There is a friend who won't let go, there is a heart that beats for You; there is One name by which we are saved. bridge: When I was captive fears, You were the One who came to me, You set me free.

pray for us!

"Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus, our hope." 1 Tim. 1:1
We should remember that Paul was a frontier missionary. His special commission from God was to establish communities of evangelizing Christians among cultural groups without any church. This was his mission as an apostle of Jesus Christ. Paul considered the basis of his ministry to be God's concern for all nations, beginning with the Abrahamic Covenant and continuing on through Christ's Great Commission and his own personal commission.

Lord, teach us to use our gifts to further Your purposes for all nations.

praise & pray for Matt (AUS)

last Thursday, a day with many things gone wrong [my own stupidity :] Papa set up a Divine Appointment with Matt! he sat next to me on the bus
[tip: whenever possible, ALWAYS leave an empty seat next to you when sitting on public transport: you never know who Papa might send your way!]
i confess i personally prefer not to share the gospel with "Aussies" as i find the majority of them unresponsive & hardened against the gospel. :[
Matt's brother & father are "into Jesus but it's not for me" ...
he was unresponsive & hardened against the gospel, but out of love for Jesus & Matt's soul, i still went through the gospel with him using WDJD & Paul Washer's advice [see link at bottom]
i fully believe i too would be unresponsive & hardened against the gospel if it weren't for His AMAZING GRACE!
... brothers & sisters, WE have The Words of Eternal Life .. WE have been made to live again .. WE have The Words of Eternal Life .. HOW could we ever keep them in?!!!!
:D He's FULL of mercy & compassion, even to snners like us!
:D Jesus seeks & saves the lost .. and chooses to use frail, weak, common vessels like you & me!
:D giving Matt understanding of the gospel as i shared!
*PRAY*
* Christ manifest His victory & preemimence over every obstacle hindering Matt from coming to Jesus in repentance & faith!
* reveal Christ as INFINITELY desirable & INFINITELY satisfying to Matt, bringing him to True Repentance & Faith before it's too late!
* we'd see Matt in heaven worshipping The Lamb because He's Worthy!! along with others there because he in turn passed on this gospel & didn't keep it to himself!
* have mercy on Matt, work supernaturally in his heart to forsake sin, follow Jesus, the Son of God in a life of faith! & not let him waste his life giving glory to any other than The One who made him & gave His life for him!
* bring more Divine Appointments his way throughout his life to help open his blind eyes, unstop his deaf ears & enliven his dead heart to receive True Life!
* shake him out of his apathy toward the eriousness of eternity, reveal to him the serious IMMIMENCY of heaven & hell & drive him to the foot of the cross!

2 Thessalonians 3:1
"Finally, brothers, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you."
Paul asked the church at Thessalonica to pray for him and for the rapid spread of the gospel to those to whom it had not yet come. That prayer can be ours today. As the gospel has come to us, so let it be our compelling vision to see it spread quickly to the ends of the earth. Read the above verse again. This time replace the "us" with the name of a missionary who is laboring on some difficult field. Then, pray for him or her.

Dear Father, strengthen Your servants around the globe that Your gospel message will spread rapidly among those who have not heard.

pray for us!

"We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing." 2 Thessalonians 1:3
The Apostle Paul was deeply thankful for the Thessalonians, especially for their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. It certainly brings great blessing and joy after many years on the mission field for a missionary to see "his children" walk in the light they have received. It signifies that the missionary's labor in the Lord has not been in vain. Such a testimony is also a great blessing to those who first planted the seed, for they recognize that it is God who works to produce lasting fruit.

Father, we praise You for those You have brought into Your Kingdom through the labors of Your faithful servants.

1 Thessalonians 3:5
"For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter might have tempted you and our efforts might have been useless."

After the gospel has been preached in a people group, and many have responded in faith, a new church is born. We may be tempted to heave a sigh of relief, rejoice in the new evidence of God's power, and turn our attention elsewhere. But we must remember that some of Satan's strongest attacks will be directed against this fledgling body of believers. Pray for the brand-new churches being formed even this month.

Pray for God's protection for new believers, and especially for national church leaders who are special targets of the onslaught of the enemy.

"Surely you remember, brothers, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you." 1 Thessalonians 2:9
Paul made tents to support himself and his team in their first-century ministry of church-planting throughout the northern Mediterranean world. Today, modern "tentmakers" are working in countries across the globe with a vision of establishing indigenous churches among peoples with no vital Christian witness.

Pray that today's tentmakers will not only be successful in their "secular" endeavors, but that they will leave behind them growing, evangelizing churches.

:D PRAISE! :D

:D The Most Perfect, Most Holy King of the Universe came down to our garbage-filled lives because of our sin & rescued us & completely did away with all our sinful garbage!

:D blessing us to be blessing!

:D making The Gospel in print to give away!

:D life in a city that has two garbage truck collections - one for general waste & another for recyclable waste so i can give a gospel tract to the 2nd driver even if i miss the 1st driver! [ or the 1st driver rejects the tract, though wasn't in this case ;)]

*PRAY*

* reveal Christ to these precious souls, bring them to true repentance & faith before it's too late!!

* those who collect rubbish to serve the public will give their rubbish to Jesus to make their souls clean by His blood!

* Holy Spirit keep working in these mens' hearts, convict their guilty consciences & the gravity of their sin before the Holy, Righteous God who gave them life & bring him to flee to The Saviour while there's still time!

* help us, His children to stay receptive & obedient to His voice to go to those He wants to send us to! [or that He sends to us!]

* we'd see precious souls like garbage truck drivers in heaven worshiping The Lamb because He's Worthy!!

order the tracts to give away for yourself:

"…They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead-Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath." 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10
Everywhere today men live in bondage, serving their idols in fear and uncertainty. They are ignorant of their Creator-the God who loved them to the point of sending His only Son to die for their sins, that they might be delivered from this bondage. "Whoever will call upon the Lord will be saved. But how can they call on Him...of whom they have never heard, and how can they hear without a preacher…?"

O God, raise up workers from our midst to proclaim the risen Christ to peoples who now worship worthless idols.

“ no one has the right to hear the gospel twice, while there remains someone who has not heard it once”– Oswald J Smith

Nearly 3 BILLION souls are WAITING to hear the gospel.

HOW L O N G MUST THEY WAIT??

Could a mariner sit idle if he heard the drowning cry?

Could a doctor sit in comfort and let his patients die?

Could a fireman sit idle, let men burn and give no hand?

Could you sit in ease in Zion with the world around you damned? -

my English corner group on Tuesday [looked at Faith]
:D PRAISE! :D
:D making all nations & deciding to bring SO MANY from the mission field here at this time in their lives!
- also met Jimmy & Terry - 1st timers along with many others i didn't meet!
*PRAY*
* give them a Divine discontent & cause them to hunger & thirst after, look for & reach out to put their faith in The only One who can give them right relationship with their Creator God -- Jesus!
* reveal Jesus as The True Lord to these precious souls, bring them to repentance & faith in The Only Saviour before it's too late!
* provide them with accomodation/jobs that will go towards the ends prayed for above :)
* work by His Spirit through all the 'English corners' globally to draw lost souls into Living, Personal Relationship with Himself!
see http://ibrisbane.net/englishcorner - look for the "World Free English Classes Timetable"
* Nations would be impacted as they send their bright future leaders abroad to study English!
* have mercy on them & send them back to 'home' eternally-changed souls, to join the missionary force He's raising up there!
* provide more teachers/ helpers to reduce group sizes for better quality time with students or give me better skills in dealing with big groups!!!
