rejoice with me & pray for me~!!

. . . always valuing your prayers as we journey on toward HIM! :)definitely not an easy journey but ever 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 ;)

.. On the eve of the Big Walk tomorrow – was resting today as recommended but still feeling strangely tired. Hmm ... it’ll surely be a miracle if I can walk the distance intended tomorrow!
… cant help but raise the question if I get bad sleep tonight, should I still walk?
i Was reading in 2 Samuel today about David’s “good intentions” to build God a house – sometimes our good intentions are *not* what HE wants us to act on!

Of course His Kingdom still goes forth, and though I have every good intention of walking, please pray I’d let go of my desires, know His good, pleasing & perfect will & embrace it with joy!

:D thank God! :D

:D He satisfies, so much more than the richest of foods & choicest of meats!

:D giving me grace in controlling my diet & helping me *enjoy* the changeover to a largely vegetable-heavy diet [something I once thought impossible!]

:D helping me not to “cry over spilt milk” – the number of times i do stupid things / make a mess / break or spill stuff is abnormal, but massively humbling! :P

:D saving me from falling & many other potential disasters multiple times every day!!

:D He’s relentless to complete the Good Work He started in me! He’s made this sinner into a saint!

:D He loves me TOO much to leave me in my "comfortable bubbles"!

:D pouring out grace upon grace through loving, supportive friends & family ~! [i.e. YOU!] ..

*PRAY*
* i‘d live with one aim and one aim only – to glorify Christ!

* I’d never again be seduced by all the small, the trivial, the petty things which occupy me and waste so much of my time.

* I’d see a Christ that fills me, a Christ that so much greater than me, larger than I can fathom, an indescribable Christ that overshadows, overwhelms, and consumes me through and through!

* I’d keep relaxing into His Love, no more trying, no more resisting!

* He’d keep my heart from wandering after idols.
[I know I’m super-susceptible to this, I’ve been doing it all my life!]

* I’d faithfully proclaim a narrow gospel because that’s the only gospel there is! [Matt 7:13-14]

* I’d grow in yieldedness to Jesus as Lord, becoming ever softer clay in The Potter’s hands!

* I’d live in the arms of mercy, letting His undying love for me free me & restore my brokenness rather than seeking to live by fear of His judgment or confidence in my performance (or lack thereof!)

* energise me for THE MOST WORTHWHILE walk I’ll ever be doing [see www.walk4charity.com/qld - want to donate to our team? Let me know ;)

* I’d pour out my life instead of always trying to save it!

* I’d learn what it is to live by faith [faith is spelt R.I.S.K.!]- Still struggling at times to live loved.. what’s with me??!!

* keep healing my soul & mind that’s been polluted by lies for so long. I can see He’s working :D

* all my of self would be lost in order to gain Christ!
* grow me out of ‘the ‘Babylon’ religious way of thinking & behaving that’s become so ingrained in me! :O

* keep me wise & discerning in what I eat so I won’t needlessly self-destruct!

* I’d share more with others rather than just be comfortable with my usual style of interacting – i.e. asking Qns & being the listener but doing little sharing – especially when Father has given me lots to share!!

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!!

:D the Good Shepherd guarantees so many certain, glorious things in an uncertain world!
:D Father wants people from ALL NATIONS to come & be glad in Him!

:D The City Library has generously provided another room (the theatre) because of the student numbers.....which is wonderful... however we now have 90+ students coming!! If anyone in Brisbane would like to come and help teach or would like to invite a friend please prayerfully consider it!!

:D an English corner will start in the Gold Coast soon!

*PRAY*
* stir up a hunger in these precious souls to want to know The One who Alone can give them True Certainty!

* we'd see these dear lost souls in heaven, loving Jesus much because they received revelation of Jesus, along with others who're there because they didn't keep the treasure of His Kingdom to themselves!!

* work by His Spirit through all the 'English corners' globally to draw lost souls into Living, Personal Relationship with Himself! see http://www.youroztown.com/ - look for the "World Free English Classes Timetable"

* Nations would be impacted as they send their bright future leaders abroad to study English to add to the multi-cultural beauty of Christ's Bride, The Church!

* have mercy on them & send them back 'home' eternally-changed souls, to join the missionary force He's raising up there!

* provide them with friendships / accomodation/jobs/ that will go towards the ends prayed for above :)

* provide more teachers/ helpers to reduce group sizes for better quality time with students or give me better skills in dealing with big groups!!

* raise up laborers for the harvest to help in these English Corners, especially for the new one starting in the Gold Coast!

pray for the unreached!

"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and He will come near to you." James 4:7-8a
These are among the most assuring words in the Bible. Imagine being able to resist the devil, and to have the God of all comfort come near! Imagine how this sounds to someone who has been in bondage to the devil and has not had a chance to be near the Lord!

Pray that the Mongol peoples will embrace this chance to come near to God this very day!

going "FISHING" with some from our missions team on Sat arvo for some cold-turkey evangelism in Sunnybank.

* empower us who're weak, frail, shy, timid ... to share the gospel boldly & UNashedmedly to powerfully save those who believe (Romans 1:16!)

* drive us in thankfulness for the Cross & love for the lost to "preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15)

* have mercy on those we meet, open their eyes to the see Jesus in His glory & desire Him, seeking HIs righteousness!

pls pray 4 me~!

precious brothers & sisters, saints in Christ Jesus, sorry for not keeping you up dated for what seems like awhile now.. that's my loss :(
more than ever i'm realising my constant need for prayers & to be in prayer for others!
am involved in outreach to new intl students this week.. started yesterday -- Was only out for 2 hrs today (10-12) & came home surprisingly TIRED, having a BIG
LOOOONG NAP! So if today is anything like yesterday, I mightn't be able to attend English corner :(
.. Same thing happened earlier this yr when I overestimated my energy levels :O

.. BUT!! Father IS ABLE to do miracles! ;)
maybe i'm just trying to do too much?!
Father will supply all grace for what He wants done :)
please pray for wisdom to discern what He wants me to do at the right time!!
also for grace + wisdom in dealing with someone who's really exhausting my patience :S
- might be a handful of us today (only 3 of us yesterday!) to meet the students HE appoints for us to meet, friendships to be established & nurtured FOR ETERNAL IMPACT! :)
May many lost, blind souls be ready to embrace His amazing grace to be found, seeing children of The Father~!
"Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is large, but the workers are few. So ask the Lord who gives this harvest to send workers to harvest his crops."
-- Matt 9:37-38

~ THANK YOU~!!

pray for the unreached!

"I want men everywhere to life up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing." I Tim. 2:8
The Church in Mongolia was in its infancy when sharp disputes broke out between different missionaries in regards to what they should call God in the Mongolian Bible. But through it all, the Mongolian Church survived, and it is now growing and flourishing. Perhaps the people involved in this dispute learned what the Moravians learned when they could not get along: the answer to disagreements is prayer. The Moravians began a 24/7 prayer watch that lasted over 100 years. As they began sending over 2,000 missionaries, their disputes seemed rather unimportant.

Pray for God's hand to guide missionaries working in this still young mission field.

"For there is one God and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus…" I Tim. 2:5
This verse shows how narrow and inflexible our faith is. The person who reads this, be they a Buddhist, a Muslim, a Hindu, or a secularist, is faced with only one mediator between God and man. How hard it is to accept this, but how necessary it is!

Pray that the Holy Spirit will give the unreached peopleS of the world the humanly impossible faith to believe and act on the fact that Jesus is their only way to God.

rejoice with me & pray for me~!!

*sigh*
.. it had to happen sooner or later .. i visited my G.P. for some blood test results to monitor my levels of valpro [medication I take to prevent epileptic fits resulting from my brain injury] .. aaaand it turned out I had High cholesterol & High uric acid levels .. even higher than my dads! >_<

Oh well, just another thing that makes me long for the perfection of heaven! . . .
But I’m a hopeless sucker for being my own worst enemy when it comes to health / anything good for me :(
Time to get serious about my health .. I must be getting old! :P
maybe this is Fathers' funny way of answering my prayers to be rid of the idol of food i’d made & often paid homage to! :) so it looks like my reputation as ‘the human rubbish bin’ will die!

NNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Have my earthly days of taking pleasure in what I eat been brought to sudden death?
*shrugs*
Oh well.
Too bad.
So sad.
This is only the shadow before the eternal pleasures of heaven anyway ;)
One less earthly thing to be tied up with so I can focus on the eternal!
!YAY!
:D thank God! :D
:D the constant wonder it is to live as a perfectly loved child of God!

:D healing me from a truly yucky cold recently, and giving me ever-increasing joy in Him in spite of, or even because of, sickness!

:D every good & perfect gift He gives us, so we can enjoy Him & celebrate being His!

:D the gift of sexuality

:D He loves us TOO much to leave us in "comfortable bubbles"!

:D pouring out grace upon grace through loving, supportive friends & family ~! [i.e. YOU!] ..

always valuing your prayers as we journey on toward HIM! :)

*PRAY*
* I’d celebrate & thank God for this gift of sexuality before I beat myself up for how I’ve twisted it~!

* I’d live in the arms of mercy, letting His undying love for me free me & restore my brokenness rather than seeking to live by fear of His judgment or confidence in my performance (or lack thereof!)

* help me train well for THE MOST WORTHWHILE walk I’ll ever be doing [see www.walk4charity.com/qld - want to donate to our team? Let me know ;)
