pray for Femida - optus customer service rep! (IND)

she was the an optus customer service rep i just spoke to about transferring credit from one prepaid mobile to another. all went well, then at the end she asked "is there anything else i could do for you today?"
i told her that i had an important message to share with her, referring her to www.fathersloveletter.com which is translated to many languages which is perfect as most customer service reps i talk to are from all different parts of the world!

:D the ways He's used the internet to communicate His gospel to the lost!
* Femida's soul be drawn [deeper] into Fathers' love & this would be highly contagious to all around her!!


why not share this (or your own favorite evangelistic website) with those strangers Father brings you into contact with? on the internet / phone etc?!

The Lord isn't slow to do what he promised, as some people think. Rather, he is patient for your sake. He doesn't want to destroy anyone but wants all people to have an opportunity to turn to him and change the way they think and act. 2 Peter 3:9


i wonder how many lost souls Christians speak to, yet we just let the opportunity slide without directing them to Jesus in some way?!
TIME IS SO SHORT -- LET'S PASSIONATELY REDEEM THE TIME IN THESE EVIL DAYS!
Make the most of your opportunities because these are evil days. Ephesians 5:16

praise & pray for Go the Extra Mile!


"what if by simply taking a walk you could lift a child from a life of poverty - forever?"
see
www.walk4charity.com
Be a part of an amazing experience and walk / run / ride 50kms with your family and friends to help India's most maligned and needy children.
It's time to Go the Extra Mile!
1 AUD = 40 Indian rupees. It is amazing what a few dollars in Australian can accomplish in India – we have an open window of opportunity to be able to bring massive change to people’s lives and to ignore that opportunity would be a tragedy.
:D praise! :D
:D He loves the poor & outcast!
:D the many poor who've found hope & love in the gospel of Jesus Christ!
*PRAY*
* we'd keep our sights, thoughts & treasures focussed on eternal, unseen realities~!

* many more lives would be lifted from a life of poverty - forever!! because we chose to be unselfishly loving with the life He's given us & all His lavish blessings!
- register your walking team in Brisbane here: http://www.walk4charity.com
* raise up more walkers & supporters for this fundraising event to help break the poverty cycle!
- Only got 34 registered walkers at the moment .. Know anyone who'd like to get involved?
Please do help spread the word!! see here: http://www.walk4charity.com/reviews.asp

- if you can't do the walk, volunteers & sponsors for walkers will be needed to help!!

Keep being a channel of His blessings as you live in Fathers affection for you :)

rejoice with me & pray for me~!!


Sorry to start this on a low note :’(
.. it seems i ’m ever discovering new depths of my “relational retardedness” :(
.. so confused ..
I don’t think I really know what it is to be a true friend. So many times I’ve been shown beautiful friendship from others, yet time & again if I don’t turn it into an idol, I’d push away - - even if they keep reaching out, I’m still unsure bout reaching back :S
Though I have every reason to accept the friendship from them, I think I still have this thought in the back of my head “It’s only a matter of time before I do / say something dumb to hurt them, getting close enough to cut them deeply” . . .:(
I don’t want to live bound to my past relational failures, but I’m struggling . . . really struggling to live truly free from them :(
... maybe I’m sill holding onto the lies that “I’m not good enough” to be anyone’s friend?
WHY CAN’T I JUST LET GO?!!!
ARRGHGHGH!!! :@
I also struggle to relate to others without my own agendas or underlying motives [even if they’re “good”!].
It’s so ugly, the depths of my sinful self .. how i long to be free!
. . . or maybe my thinking is just twisted :S
It’s affecting almost every relationship, even with Father.


It’s like I have a “set script” I go through for different people – e.g., certain things i'd say / Qns I’d ask family, friends, strangers, lost soul, internationals . . . even with Father I feel like I’m just uttering the same old things again & again :(
Desperately in need of your payers please!!


:D rejoice with me~! :D


:D thank You Father all "risks" You might ask me to take for You are ultimately SAFE!
:D He is conforming me to His image even if i can't see / feel it!


:D thank You Father, that i am just an alien & stranger in this world, for giving me a Heavenly country that i can look forward to, that makes all the trouble of this life worth it!


Good For Us by Chip Brogden http://www.theschoolofchrist.org/read/articles/good-for-us.html Christians seek many spiritual things: anointing, power, gifts, blessing, fruit, wisdom, prosperity. I pray the Lord will make us thoroughly and completely dissatisfied with THINGS, even the things He gives us, and make us hungry and thirsty for Himself. May we judge things not by whether they are "good for us", but whether they are good for the Lord, whether His Will is done in them, whether His Need is met by them, whether His Purpose is fulfilled in them, whether His Son is seen through them. He is the Only One, the Beloved Son of God. May the Lord be transfigured before us!


* PLEASE PRAY FOR ME*


* Holy Spirit keep adding new citizens to His Kingdom!!


* I’d see people, not as they are, but also in the light of the potential He has placed within them!
* be a wise steward with my time!
* i’d value the simplicity of friendship with Jesus!!
* my life would be totally obedient, honoring & glorifying Father!
* I’d take a hold of Fathers’ hand & just walk away from temptation & evil!
*give me perpetual broken-heartedness over my sin & this lost world He's in the process of redeeming!
* keep me clinging to The Cross!
*** see prayer pts in talk #5 of CMS simmer school!
* I’d find my security in living Fathers’ way!
Lyrics of a song Father played in my mental Jukebox as I prayed about the problem in the start of this mail ..

Dare You To Move - Switchfoot

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
I dare you to move I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move I dare you to move
Like today never happened Today never happened
Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move I dare you to move
Like today never happened Today never happened
Today never happened Today never happened before

pray for the unreached!

"Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many." II Cor. 1:11
One of the key elements in extending God's Kingdom is turning people's hearts from praying to worthless idols to praying to the One True God. To do so takes faith that He will answer out of His goodness and power. This extends God's Kingdom to nations that formerly didn't recognize Him as the King of Kings. But God's domain also extends further when believers, like the ones Paul is referring to, give thanks when their prayers are answered.

Pray that God will extend His Kingdom in your heart by giving you greater gratitude when He answers your prayers

praise & pray for Michelle (CHI)


- our new baby sister in Jesus~!! :D
she's been "tagging along" to various Intenational Student Ministry Activities [English Conversation classes, Bible Studies, even our Youth Fellowship too! More for fun & frirendship i think, but today she wanted to join the prayer meeting (a first!) & two brothers were able, by God's grace to share Jesus with her in her mother tongue :)
- though i'm never entirely convinced these days that simply because someone "prayed a prayer to accept Jesus they're Christian" it's a start, i guess ...

GO HERE & WATCH THIS!! "Declaring War on The Sinner's Prayer (Paul Washer)"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc5lY9YP_bE
:D revealing Himself to Michelle, seeking & saving her lost soul!
*PRAY*

* grow in Michelle a deep desire to express her love to Father in a life of loving TRUST!
* help her as she "works out her salvation with fear & trembling" to be a FISHER OF MEN!! --

praise & pray for Victor (Tw)


"what's The Good News?"-- Victor
:D PRAISE! :D
:D heping me get better at following His gentle nudgings!


...

i met Victor a few weeks ago at the library, Father pointed him out to me as he was looking for our free English conversation class .. he came along & joined our dinner afterwards, i called him a few days (?) after & he found out his dad had been diagnosed with cancer ... so that cut short his travel plans in Aus!

:D allowing us to have lunch together today before he returns tomorrow!
i passed him a "Path to Victory New Testament", seeing as his name is Victor
(he thought "Path to Victory" meant "Path to success" but i explained it meant the Path to Victory over death itself! which was the springboard to later sharing The Good News with him, even though it meant having to go shopping with him :P
:D helping me to share The Good News with Victor - strangely, it feels like the first time in a long while since i've laid out the whole Good News with Someone & i gotta say,
IT FEELS *SO GOOD*!!
.. reflecting on this 'breakthrough' experiece in the spiritual drought i've been hourneying through, i've come to conclude it's only natural when we, the Saved Ones, share of our Wonderful Saviour, and it's a complete volation of who we are as new creatures in Christ to not share about Him for fear of reason x y z .. i can't beieve how many oppoytunities i've let slip by because i let myself get in the way :S

:D PRAISE! :D
:D Isaiah 55:11 is true! So will my word be which goes out of my mouth: it will not come back to me with nothing done, but it will give effect to my purpose, and do that for which I have sent it.

:D Hebrews 4:12 is true! For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow, as it judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart.
:D Victor now holds The Words of Eternal Life --POWERFUL STUFF!

:D we're not manufacturers of God's Word & Gospel.. just distributors!
*PRAY*
* i've run out of bilingual Chinese-English new Testaments to give away - may Father supply more to distribute! :)
* His Word would work in Victor's heart with power, achieving is purpose & coming alive & active to give Eternal Life [revelation of Christ] to his soul trapped in darkness!
* lead Victor to a good church in Taichung, Taiwan [anyone know any? please contact me!]
* work through this episode of his fathers' cancer to draw the whole family to The Saviour before it's too late!

rejoice with me & pray for me~!!

.. always valuing your prayers as we journey on toward Him! :)definitely not an easy journey but always exciting =) sorry if this mail doesn't really 'fill you in' on what's been going on in his precious life He's given me, if you want to know more just ask~!my life's an open book ;)

I was reflecting on mothers day... on the incredible unfailing love of my mother towards me, and I was struggling to know how to show love to mum who loves me *so* greatly
... [to me] it seems all i do is give her more work to do [more messes to clean, dirty clothes to wash etc etc]
Yet all she does is give of herself & pour out her life & love so I can live & be loved …
I was almost in tears over this :'(

then i had one of those God-thoughts that maybe it's not about me & my ability to love mum. maybe it's more about me living in her love & being loved that matters more!
Silly me & my stupid self-focussed-ness!

I’ve also been doubting my motives for serving in international students’ ministry … :S
They all think i‘m so kind / nice / blah blah but inside i know the wicked corruption that still lurks in my heart ..

... and yet somehow though I can’t see it, Father is in the process of redeeming all that to make something beautiful, something good from my life .. wow, all glory to Him~!
EVERYONE GO HERE!!
www.hislife.co.uk
:D rejoice with me~! :D
:D Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! We are loved by the Father just as Jesus is loved. No one has ever been more loved than we are! We are deeply, wonderfully, gloriously loved by a God who is love! How favoured we are! How privileged we are to be the focus of His love— certainly not because we have earned it or deserved it, but simply by His very gracious choice.
-- John Beaumont
www.hislife.co.uk
:D He never skimps in showing love towards us!!

:D He doesn't leave me groping around trying to find some way to please Him. He speaks so particularly, and asks for that which is within my capacity to give.

:D He doesn't ask that I be ceaselessly rushing here & there, but shows the simple way in which I may minister to Him, to my own great delight!

:D though we cannot live trouble free lives, but we can live worry free lives!!

* PLEASE PRAY FOR ME*
* He’d still the inner storms in me so I can know inward calm. & be released to walk with a gentle and quiet spirit!

* i’d give absolute priority to an ongoing, intimate love relationship with Jesus!

* I’d give Him sweet affection, grow in a continuing attraction and honouring and appreciating Him!

* i’d be comfortable in His nearness, in His smile and in His favour.

* my supreme joy would be to respond to His love, marvel at His beauty and bless Him a thousand times that He ever chose me to be His!!

* I’d reach out for new and fuller ways to express my love to Jesus everyday!
* I’d keep clear of all that weakens my spiritual appetite, dulls my awareness of His presence and increases emphasis on the natural rather than spiritual values as though your life depended on it!!

* open my eyes to see fresh beauty in His tender care and over-ruling grace and so be kept from becoming blind to His supreme beauty!

* I’d desire is to be so worshipping my precious Lord Jesus in everything I do day by day, that an aroma of Christ will pervade my own life—all my attitudes, thoughts, reactions, my sense of values, my choices and my areas of fulfilment so that He is wonderfully glorified in the showing forth of His life through me.

* I’d yield to His molding of my life to these ends!

* mature, deepen and increase in tenderness and sensitivity as years go by, my love relationship with Jesus!
thanks~!! please tell me how i can best support you before His throne of Grace too!

if Father so leads you to be my regular prayer supporter, do check out this prayer blog every now & then :)

Looking forward to hearing from you how i can best support you in prayer & praises!!

love Aye-bul, Your Friend in Prayer =D

The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying.

He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayerless religion.

He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.

We have to stop looking at prayer as the spare tire in the trunk and start seeing it as the steering wheel.-- S.D. Gordon

pray for the unreached!

"To the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen." Romans 16:27
So we come to the end of the book of Romans, a book in which God's concern for all nations can be read on virtually every page. There is no more appropriate way to end this study than the way Paul ends the book: giving glory to our Lord Jesus Christ. We need to remember why we are concerned about taking the gospel to the nations: in order to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. All heaven will echo with the praises of people from every tribe, tongue, and nation. That is why we learn, pray and give every day on behalf of the unreached peoples!

Give glory to Jesus Christ!
