I have now concentrated all my prayers into one, and that one prayer is this, that I may die to self, and live wholly to him. – Charles Spurgeon [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fx1Yhmz8ZRc] May these posts & names be a sneak-preview to people you’ll see IN HEAVEN WORSHIPPING THE LAMB! **

Joseph's perspective on the sovereignty of God gave him a powerful lens through which to interpret both his life and world history itself. Scripture tells us that in Christ the same perspective Joseph had is assured for us today: God causes all things to work together for good . . . to those who are called according to his purpose" (Rom. 8:28). That purpose is to bring the blessing of a covenant relationship with the Creator God to every nation, tribe, people, and language. When we are walking in the light of that purpose we can be sure to always have the proper perspective on everything that happens in our lives and in our world.
Pray that God's redemptive plan for every frontier people might be fully realized in our generation.

please rejoice with me & pray for me~!!
-- i'm not an awfully faithfully bright reflector tho :"(
AN OPEN INVITE TO ALL: if you care about me & love me, please tell me anytime you see something wrong in my life!
where do you see faults in my life / character? What areas would you like to see me grow & change by God’s grace?”
:D rejoice with me!! :D
:D revealing idols that once captured my heart & freeing me from them! - e.g. relationships / camera / guitar /food etc
Prov 27:5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
* PRAY*
idol = substitute for God i love / worship / serve in place of God. ie wanting anything or anyone more than God Himself - often perfectly good things which are good gifts from God! eg ministry, marriage, job, leisure . . . Our hearts are idol factories working non stop 24/7 ! >_<
* keep me ever walking FORWARDS to Christ & FORGETTING what lies in the past, not letting anything become a limitation for what He can do in & through me [i know i often use myself as an excuse, as if somehow God couldn't use me because of this or that reason .. :P eg i'm disabled & brain injured =P
pray for us!
These words from King Abimelech's men to Isaac testify clearly to the reality that Moses would speak of centuries later: It is the Lord's presence that distinguishes us from all the peoples of the world (Ex. 33:16). Unless he is with us we don't dare venture out to fulfill the mission we have been given. His presence not only makes the mission possible, his presence is what the mission is all about. On many occasions God repeatedly reminded Abraham and his children of this reality, "I will be with you and will bless you" (Gen. 26:2). Two thousand years later, Jesus echoed the same words to his disciples when sending them out, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Mt. 28:20).
Pray that every frontier people might experience the fullness of God's presence.

"Abraham replied, 'I said to myself, 'There is surely no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.'" Gen. 20:11
Three times in Genesis (twice with Abraham and once with Isaac) we have the same situation occurring where Sarah or Rebekah are taken into the household of a local ruler. The cause of this, as reflected in Abraham's statement above, was always a sense that the nations were more depraved than they actually were, combined with a lack of faith in God's ability to protect. Lest we be too critical of this mistake, we should remember that these are common temptations for any missionary! The cure for this is to recognize that God's grace is incredibly great and that even before we arrive on the scene He is already at work. In fact, no ethnic group has ever been found that doesn't understand something of God's moral standards.
Pray that missionaries might overcome every barrier of fear inhibiting the proclamation of the gospel.

please rejoice with me & pray for me~!!
need your prayers!
:D rejoice with me!! :D
:D 2 Corinthians 12:9 is true!!
His power is strongest when you are weak." So I will brag even more about my weaknesses in order that Christ's power will live in me.
:D i got much to brag about, in light of this truth!
:D no matter how tired/ sleepy i am, i can still pray!
:D i'm not always like this picture~!
:D great songs that keep me reminded of great truths - lyrics below!
* though not always tired/ sleepy / fatigued, definitely noticed a BIG drop in energy levels since going down with the flu. e.g. at last night's missions team meeting i was ready for bed within a few hours after starting -- this afternoon felt uglytired as i was on the bus into the city for conversation corner, so i got off soon as i could & got the next bus home.
*PRAY*
* in my physical & spiritual weakness, He'd make me strong in His power :)
* the song below would be true in my life!
* i'd be more helpful /loving with my thoughts / speech / action especially when i'm tired & not go "walking on people's toes"!
Casting Crowns - In Me [from the album 'Lifesong']
If you asked me to leap Out of my boat on the crashing waves If you ask me to go Preach to a lost world that Jesus saves I'll go, but I cannot go alone 'Cause I know I'm nothing on my own But the power of Christ in me makes me strong Makes me strong
'Cause when I'm weak, You make me strong When I'm blind You shine Your light on me 'Cause I'll never get by living on my own ability How refreshing to know You don't need me How amazing to find that you want me So I'll stand on Your Truth, and I'll fight with Your Strength Until You bring the victory, by the power of Christ in me
If you ask me to run And carry your light into foreign land If you ask me to fight Deliver your people from Satan's hand I'll go, but I cannot go alone 'Cause I know I'm nothing on my own But the power of Christ in me makes me strong Makes me strong 'Cause when I'm weak, You make me strong
When I'm blind you shine Your light on me 'Cause I'll never get by living on my own ability How refreshing to know You don't need me How amazing to find that You want me So I'll stand on Your Truth, and I'll fight with Your Strength Until You bring the victory, by the power of Christ in me
To reach out with Your hands To learn through Your eyes To love with the love of a savior To feel with Your heart and to think with Your mind I'd give my last breath for Your glory
When I'm blind you shine Your light on me 'Cause I'll never get by living on my own ability How refreshing to know You don't need me How amazing to find that You want me So I'll stand on Your Truth, and I'll fight with Your Strength Until You bring the victory, by the power of Christ in me by the power of Christ in me by the power of Christ in me

This account between Abraham and King Abimelech is the first record we have of a prophet being called upon to pray for the healing of someone. What is so significant about this is that the person receiving this prayer is a ruler over one of the nations Abraham has been called to bless. Of course, God could have healed Abimelech the moment he returned Sarah to Abraham, but He chose to heal him through the prayers of His prophet for a special reason. He wanted an entire nation to understand that Abraham represented the creator of heaven and earth and all the fullness of His power. This is the same reason why God often works so powerfully through the intercession of his people to open up opportunities for sharing the gospel.
Pray for God's children to exercise their authority to intercede for the nations.

"Then Abraham approached Him and said, 'Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? What if there are 50 righteous people in the city?'"
Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this passage is not Abraham's boldness to ask such confrontational questions of God, but God's positive response to these questions. Nowhere in the history of any religion do we find such a camaraderie between the Creator God and man as we do in this account. God literally says, "I cannot hide from Abraham what I am going to do" (Gen. 18:17), and then allows His friend to question Him on His actions. The precedent God is establishing here is clear. The Abrahamic Covenant of blessing involves prophetic intercession for the nations. God reveals to His people what He is going to do in the world and invites us to participate in His actions as priestly intercessors!!
Pray that every believer might discover the power and joy of frontier mission intercession.

"God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die." <-- think this is a famous verse everyone's heard of already? NOT SO BROS & SISTERS!! -

Ishmael was born through Abraham's attempt to do God's work in man's way. Of course, whenever we do that, we run into trouble. From this act of unbelief was birthed the Arab peoples of the world, who today live in great hostility to their Israeli cousins. But even so, the grace of God is greater still. God's promise to bless Ishmael is echoed later in Scripture, through the prophet Isaiah who declared, "The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together. In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing on the earth" (Isa. 19:24). Today it may be hard for some to imagine Muslim countries like Egypt and Assyria becoming a blessing to the whole earth, but that is God's promise. Do you have faith to believe?
Pray that all Muslim peoples everywhere might become recipients and agents of God's blessing.

The Bible considers Abraham to be the "father of us all" (Rom. 4:16) because of what he did this night. He simply took God seriously and believed. It is our response to God that matters to Him. If when He calls, we say "Here am I, send me," we are then speaking His language. He'll take care of the rest. The same is true with the Great Commission. To the natural mind it seems impossible. But all we are called to do is believe that God can do it, and that His way of doing it is perfect. Our part is to trust and obey.
Pray for a powerful movement of faith among God's people, responding to his call to reach all remaining unreached peoples.

Two chapters after Abraham is called to be a blessing to all the peoples of the earth, we have this account of Abraham's interaction with the Amorities. By this time Abraham had become a trusted friend of this people group, and his influence appears to have been strong. When God spoke of the future demise of Caananite society to Abraham, He said it would not take place for 400 years because "the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure" (Gen. 15:18). It seems that Abraham's presence as "salt and light" served as a preserving agent for righteousness among this group. Today, we are called to do the same; to find an unreached people group, settle among them, and become influencers for the Kingdom.
Pray that every unreached people might have ambassadors of Christ living among them.

gospel tracts on him or you could fine him something - OPPORTUNITIES TO SHARE THE GOSPEL ARE EVEREYWHERE EVERYDAY!!
do pray they'd read it at a time their hearts are soft & receptive to The gospel & the seed would yield an abundant harvest of 30, 60 or 100 fold!

One of the surprising and yet widely misunderstood principles in Scripture is that God has no problem with making people wealthy. All throughout the Bible God raises people up to positions of power and influence. However, the purpose of this blessing must always be understood in the context in which God has placed it. He said to Abraham, "I will bless you . . . and all peoples will be blessed through you" (Gen. 12:2-3). Without the purpose behind the success, that which was intended to bless can become a curse. The solution to this dilemma is to understand that we are but stewards of blessing. So rather than blessing as an end in itself, it's blessing with a mission, God's mission to redeem all peoples to Himself.
Pray that as God prospers His people they might use their influence for the advance of His kingdom in every frontier region. source: www.global-prayer-digest.org/ <-- GO HERE & pray EVERYDAY!!www.vision2025.org/handinhands_clicktorelease.html <--GO HERE EVERYDAY TO release penny's for God's Word to be translated in every language still without His Word!http://www.prayerguard.net<-- GO HERE & pray for an unreached people group EVERY HOUR!!

God's promise to Abraham that his name would be known throughout the world has a profound meaning in the context of Genesis. Just one chapter before, the great men of the world had gathered together to build a city in order to "make a name" for themselves. Earlier, Caan built a city and named it after his son. But here God tells Abraham not to worry about this name thing: I'll take care of your reputation. I am your hope, and your great reward. Today, there are over 3.5 billion people (Christians, Muslims and Jews) who know the name of Abraham and consider him to be very important. He was simply a sheepherder! What made him different was that he answered God's call to be a blessing to all peoples, and the rest is history.
Pray that some from every unreached people might soon participate in the blessing given to Abraham.

The Tower of Babel project can best be described as man's attempt to glorify himself. Instead of filling the earth as commanded and bringing glory to God, we sought to defy His will and build a legacy of our own. It was our reputation we were concerned about being passed down to posterity, and not the reputation of God. Today, the nations of the world have reaped the devastation of that decision. Instead of worshipping the Creator, they worship their ancestors, and cruel taskmasters these so-called ancestors can be! Satan devised the perfect system for manipulating the peoples of the world, and it all began here at the Tower, with the false worship of man.
Pray for the complete healing and deliverance of all unreached peoples trapped in demonic bondage.

All over the world thousands of tribal peoples trace their origin to the aftermath of a great flood. In fact, most of these peoples have elements of the story contained in Genesis chapter 1-11. These are the universal portions of Scripture which every people has in their own history, and which many have preserved in what theologians call "historical revelation." This is important because every people has an understanding of the righteousness and the justice of God. They know of His judgments, but most have forgotten of his love. That's what was so unique about the "special revelation" Jesus brought: He revealed the fullness of the Triune God. Our Creator is a judge, but He is also our comforter, healer, savior, and redeemer.
Pray that all unreached peoples might experience the fullness of God's revelation.

"The Lord saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time." Gen. 6:5
It is hard to imagine what life must have been like before the flood. By the time of Noah, only one righteous family remained in the whole earth. However, Jesus warned us that in the days before his coming, life would be similar to this period. Without the light, whole societies and peoples can become progressively corrupted. Indeed, although it seems that the Christian faith is in competition with the world's religions, these moral traditions have in fact served to stem the tide of social depravity as unredeemed peoples wait for a complete revelation of God's righteousness in Christ.
Pray for an all out effort within the Church to bring the light of the gospel to all remaining unreached peoples.

REJOICE with me + pray 4 Able - the guy who KEEPS FALLING:. IN2 GOD's HANDS!!
Yup, I’ve fallen over yet again! [see top picture]
Simply because of my stupid resolve to get where I want to go in the shortest time possible regardless of the dangers / risks involved. L
Nothing too serious, just lots of cuts, scratches & bruises. J
I’ll refrain from boring you with all the dumb details, yet again any fragments of pride I might’ve built up between this fall & my previous fall was totally & utterly ground to dust.
Which is good I guess, humility is good J
Unfortunately the old voice of lies I’ve given audience too for far too long haunted & taunted me to the point of despairing of life . . .
Thankfully, God’s lavish grace keeps me rising again after every fall
He sent angels to attend me in the form of the internationals at our mid-week Bible Study, & of course my parents ;)
Was reminded not only in thought or word only but in much action & truth that I am SO VERY WELL LOVED!
:D rejoice with me!! :D
:D the fall could’ve been SO much worse .. It wasn’t... I must’ve fallen into His hands yet again ;)
:D falls like this don’t happen everyday, a miracle of God given my clumsiness!
:D Isn’t it just like Father to turn every time I fall badly into an occasion to remind me of the absolute, complete & permanent security in His unfailing unconditional love for me. :)
:D the basis for His relationship to me isn’t how not-clumsy I am but how much I let Him love me!
:D thuis life isn’t about how well I do things, but simply allowing Him to live His life through me!
* Please pray I don’t keep all this love to myself, but share it all around especially as so many in this world live loveless lives L
i fell off my bed last night in my sleep .. suspect it may have been a possible seizure?
Feeling SO weak & tired .. Am sleeping but waking up feeling unrested :(
Feeling incredibly fearful of the next fall I’ll have, and then Father brought this verse to mind:
Proverbs 29:25 the fear of man is a cause of danger: but whoever puts his faith in the Lord will have a safe place on high.
Even though I think the verse is talking more about fearing others rather than oneself, I think the same truth applies, even if I fear myself it’ll be the cause of danger... I need to trust in the Lord \Most High, who’s protecting safe arms are much greater than my clumsiness!
* PRAY*
* I’d fear not myself & my clumsiness but trust The Father to keep me safe!
we'd be tuned into ONLY His Voice of Truth & NOT the other voices of lies around us!
* HELP TO RECOVER my glasses [I suspect they fell off after I fell] or give me a cheap replacement pair!
These Scriptures echoed my soul this morning...
Proverbs 30:1 "I'm weary, O God. I'm weary and worn out, O God.
Pro 30:2 I'm more like a dumb animal than a human being. I don't even have human understanding.
Pro 30:3 I haven't learned wisdom. I don't have knowledge of the Holy One.
PLEASE! If you care about me & love me, please tell me anytime you see something wrong in my life!
~thanks~!! please tell me how i can best support you before His throne of Grace too!

The first recorded question we have of God in Scripture is profound in many ways. God knows the answer to the question. But the reason He asks it is for us to know the answer-for us to realize where we are. Taking the gospel into a lost world today requires the same perspective. Before lost nations can be redeemed, just as with lost individuals, they must understand where they are and how they got there. As the maxim goes, "You have to get a person lost (that is to recognize the reality), before you can get him saved." For this reason, many Bible translators and missionaries are seeing that the best place to begin with an unreached people group is in Genesis. Otherwise, information without a context quickly becomes misinformation.
Pray that all unreached peoples might understand that they are lost, and that they must rely on God alone to find them.

pray for us!
The story of the fall is more about deception than it is stolen goods. The first recorded words out of Satan's mouth were distortions of God's Word. This indicates a serious breach of trust between these two characters. When we believed the lie, we entered into that relationship problem. Something sacred and precious had been broken, then lost. The rest of the Bible documents God's unwavering desire and tireless effort to rebuild that sacred trust among every people. But defeating a lie can be costly. For it is one thing to forcefully rescue someone, and entirely another if the hostage has been lied to about the rescuers! Breaking that kind of deception may require your life.
Pray that God will give His ambassadors a tireless determination to see the unreached peoples rescued from the lies of Satan.

Our desire for knowledge has been getting us into trouble from the very beginning. The quest to know the truth in and of itself is not a bad thing. But if we are seeking truth on our own terms, we will quickly fall prey to self-deception. Even worse, we may fall prey to someone else's self-deception. Here God shows us the danger of this propensity towards self-enlightenment. It is for this reason that the gospel message has such life-giving power for the nations. Without this special revelation we will forever remain either agnostic about the truth or in a state of perpetual self-delusion.
Pray that every frontier people might know the truth, and that this truth might set them free.

From the very beginning, God elevated work to the highest level and sanctified it through his own work in Creation. Unfortunately, Today most people don't view work with much enthusiasm, and Genesis tells us why. Through our own folly we traded our Edenic occupation for mindless toil. However, the good news is that in Christ, the value of work can be redeemed. Even in the cruel Roman Empire, Christian slaves were urged to do their work as unto the Lord, and as a result, incredible social transformation followed.
Pray for God's children to work in such a way that their communities will be blessed, and God will be praised among the nations.

Saini People of Haryana, India
* MUCH MORE about this people group at the JOSHUA PROJECT
"'In that day,' declares the Lord, you will call me "My husband;" you will no longer call me "My master".'" Hosea 2:16 NIV
A tragic love story is unfolding in India. In a village of India's northern state of Haryana, a couple fell in love. Manoj and Rimpy made plans to marry. However, Manoj was a Dalit man, and Rimpy, his bride-to-be, was a Saini girl from a high caste. The elders of her village were furious! How could she even think of marrying a Dalit? Dalits are beneath every Hindu caste! Their very touch can pollute a high caste member.
The couple slipped away to a local temple and were married on June 18, 2007. Saini elders issued a death sentence, and the couple fled for their lives to a police station in New Delhi.
This vignette is a beautiful picture of another love story. Ever since the fall of man, we have all been polluted by sin and unworthy of the only One who can cleanse us by "marrying" us, and making us part of His Church, the "bride" of Christ. But there is a major difference: The Saini people do not realize that they are polluted by sin and in need of cleansing from a Savior.
Pray that Saini caste members will realize their need for the cleansing and saving power of Christ.-CH
"God saw all that he had made, and it was very good." Gen 1:31
That God created the world in perfection is a foundational truth in Scripture. There is something about the beauty we find in creation that tells us there must be something deeper behind it. The incredible creativity we find in the universe gives us a clue that the place from which it came must be more beautiful still. What is more, God designed us with the capacity to appreciate that beauty. This alone should tell us we are not here by accident, nor is the universe. Unfortunately, the world over, unredeemed nations live in constant fear of creation. Satan has sought to distort our interpretation of this powerful revelation by turning our natural awe of what God has made into terror and idolatry.
Pray that the unreached peoples of the world might rediscover the glory of God in all that He has made.

pray for us!
The mandate to fill the earth and subdue it has clear parallels to the Great Commission. As we go forth in His Name, we are reclaiming this vision of seeing worshipers, who worship in spirit and in truth, giving glory to God in every time-zone on this planet, among every nation, tribe and people. The end result is that at any given time on this planet, praises to God are going forth. While in one time zone a session of praise and worship is coming to a close, in another it is just getting started. Built into the solar system itself is all the technology required for an entire generation to pray and worship without ceasing. Truly our God is an awesome God!
Pray that all remaining unreached peoples might reflect back to God the beauty and majesty of all that He is.

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Gen. 1:27
The reality of our being made in the image of God is so significant that the entirety of Scripture would be meaningless without it. We are His children, and He created us to represent all that He is. That we have this capacity to represent the character, power and authority of God is what makes the Great Commission an assignment of the highest order. All over the world, the devil has sought to diminish the glory of God by destroying in every nation that which was designed to reflect His majesty. As we take this message to all peoples, may we be constantly reminded that every human being has eternal significance and infinite value as an instrument of praise and worship!
Pray that all peoples might experience the joy of glorifying God through their own redeemed cultural expressions.

praise & pray for Benny (UK)
Who is always in trouble? Who argues and fights? Who has cuts and bruises? Whose eyes are red?
Everyone who stays up late, having just one more drink.
Don't even look at that colorful stuff bubbling up in the glass! It goes down so easily,
but later it bites like a poisonous snake.
You will see weird things, and your mind will play tricks on you.
You will feel tossed about like someone trying to sleep on a ship in a storm.
You will be bruised all over, without even remembering how it all happened. And you will lie awake asking, "When will morning come, so I can drink some more?" ro 23:29-35

When compared with the vastness of the universe in which we live, our planet is but a tiny speck of dust. But it is God who takes something that is formless, empty and insignificant and brings order and purpose. The first thing he does in this process is speak words that bring light. Here in this light we come to see that it is God, our Creator, that gives everything its significance. That is why the message we bring is so powerful: we have the ability to connect every nation's story, and indeed every person's story back to God's story, with its light-giving introduction and eternal conclusion.
Pray that all unreached peoples might find their purpose and identity in their creator.
"In the beginning, God . . . " Gen. 1:1
One of the most remarkable truths the Bible tells us is that the One who created the heavens and the earth didn't do so anonymously. He desires to be known, and can be known, and has revealed all of His divine attributes in creation itself (Rom. 1:20). Indeed, "God did this so that men would seek Him and perhaps reach out and find Him" (Acts 17:27). That men in every nation have sought to find God is evidence of this reality. Bible translators have yet to find a dialect that is without a word for the Creator God! At the same time, all peoples have found that there is something that separates us from our Creator. The ruins of our decaying bridges to reach Him are there to remind us.
Pray that the whole earth, and every nation, might be filled with the knowledge of His glory as the waters cover the sea.
