:D PRAISE :D


:D giving us another weekend away with these precious souls in the midst of His beautiful creation!

:D all He's going to do in & through the camp!


past students have often remembered these camps as *the* highlight of their time in Australia!)


*PRAY*


* in all things, CHRIST BE EXALTED! and as He is, "He'd draw all men to Himself"


* bring the students & leaders HE wants to come along, keep them free that weekend & provide finances for all!

* He'd arrange Divine appointments & eternally-significant interactions in abundance!

* the Easter story we'll present through speech & drama would really sink into the hearts of those who come, to bear much fruit to the Fathers' glory~!

* the Son would rise & shine especially in those yet to receive a revelation of The only Saviour!

* use His children at the camp to show AND tell the gospel in 3-D, living colour!

rejoice with me & pray for me~!!


I was encouraged by this personal covenant of Thomas Boston:

checkitout here:

http://spurgeon.wordpress.com/2007/03/02/a-personal-covenant-by-thomas-boston/

Some more Snippets of what Father’s teaching me lately:


+ Jesus’ poured out blood has made Him available to the sinner as a sinner, and to the failing saint as a failing saint, if he will only admit that that is what he is.


+ There is no blessing that God has for us, salvation, victory, peace of heart, or revival, but that God has provided an easy accessible Door to it in His Son.

+ David is in victory again after his great falling into sin with Bathsheba. His sin did not condemn him to a life of failure and defeat!

+ There was chastisement for David's sin, but it did not mean that his life was ruined.

Hooray to our Father who makes all things new & untwists what sin has twisted!


. . . If you have any questions / comments of my life, Don't be shy~! my life's an open book ;)

:D rejoice with me! :D

:D He delights in me!! And so He saved me!! =D

:D I can live in victory! All the many sins of my past need NOT condemn me to a life of failure and defeat! WOOHOO!! XD 8D

:D He still has a crown of victory for me as I respond to sin in my life with confession & repentance!

:D All because of JESUS, I can be saved from despairing over my sin!!!

.. lately, my physical health hasn’t been the best :”(


I keep getting tired & fatigued, whilst doctors/blood tests show nothing

Perhaps sleep could be better quality?! Although even on days after a good nights’ sleep, it can still hit me :”(


*PRAY*


* Our combined birthday party on the 29th could be maximised as an opportunity for MAXIMUM ETERNAL IMPACT!


* enough Christian friends will be at our party to have an eternally significant interaction with at least one other non Christian so every non Christian who comes will go away having seen, heard, tasted, smelled & touched something of Jesus!


* the knowledge of God's greatness, worth, glory, grace and power will stun, humble, win and hold me!

* help me treat my negative thoughts the same way I’d treat flies at a picnic-shoo them away and replace them with thoughts that are 'excellent and praiseworthy'.


* help me keep my thoughts on God's goodness! (Psalm 103:2-4)


* Better sleep at upcoming English corner camp [8-10/4]


+ especially when I’m in Sydney for the ‘Restoring the Human Spirit’ seminar!

See http://www.ellelministries.org/aus/courses/ellel-ministries-australia-gilbulla-sydney/restoring-the-human-spirit

* help me get the most from the healing seminar this Sat [26/3] – to receive & fully enter into all He’s won for me in His death & resurrection!

~thanks~!! Philemon 1:22 Because of your prayers, I can I fully expect God to answer them~! :)

please tell me how i can best support you before His throne of Grace too!

GOD WORKS WHEN WE PRAY! I'M LIVING PROOF!!

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.

pray for Akil [PKST]


met Akil on the train to a prayer meeting - my sinful self caused me to hesitate for quite awhile before talking with him. (maybe it was because he looked muslim, and i've had too many "bad" experiences being the object of a muslim mans' monologue :| .. hoping he might be an exception, but unfortunately, he wasn't:"(
i broke the ice by asking where he came from, Pakistan ...  he asked me & since i was born in a "muslim country" he asked if i was muslim. 
"no, i'm a follower of Isa (Jesus)" i replied. he then asked if i was Chinese-Malaysian  :P
anyway, after what seemed like a lengthy monologue broken up with a few odd questions like "do you believe Jesus was a muslim?" .. he arrived at his stop, me struggling to find a gap to exalt Christ .. and feeling, all too often with many of my past encounters with muslims, so sad & sorry that they're deceived as they are :"( 
.. yet he is just one of more than a billion+ precious souls trapped in bondage to a religion of darkness, death & mass destruction!!


.. how can they ever have truly live if they never have their sin-disease cured by the perfect sacrifice of God's lamb for them?!

in the end i assed him a brochure to the word of life correspondence course, which many muslims have taken & cometo know the light of the glory of Jesus' Good News.

my efforts seemed so incredibly feeble, .. i just pray God would use the brochure to bring notonly him, but his entire country people to know, love & trust in The Only Name under Heaven given by which we might besaved!!

.. please join with me in prayer for his salvation & the salvation of vast multitudes of souls trapped in religious darkness!

"They do not believe, because their minds have been kept in the dark by the evil god of this world. He keeps them from seeing the light shining on them, the light that comes from the Good News about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God."
2Corinthians 4:4

My dear precious siblings in Jesus:



If you have any questions / comments of my life, Don't be shy~! my life's an open book ;)


Snippets of what Father’s teaching me lately:

My attack on my sin in reliance on the Holy Spirit, rooted in the gospel, is God's act, not mine – see this great 2.5 minute video by John Piper:





http://www.desiringgod.org/blog/posts/your-acting-is-his-acting

Read the beautiful story of king David’s kindness to Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel 9 – some lessons learnt from it [ taken from David Guzik’s commentary:

http://www.blueletterbible.org/commentaries/comm_view.cfm?AuthorID=2&contentID=7593&commInfo=31&topic=2%20Samuel

David’s grace to Mephibosheth is a wonderful picture of God’s grace to us.
We are Mephibosheth:

We are hiding, poor, weak, lame, and fearful before our King comes to us
We are separated from our King because of our wicked ancestors
We are separated from our King because of our deliberate actions
We separated ourselves from the King because we didn't know him or His love for us
Our King sought us out before we sought Him
The King's kindness is extended to us for the sake of another
The King's kindness is based on covenant
We must receive the King's kindness in humility
The King returns to us what we lost in hiding from Him
The King returns to us more than what we lost in hiding from Him
We have the privilege of provision at the King's table
We are received as sons at the King's table, with access to the King and fellowship with Him
We receive servants from the King
The King's honor does not immediately take away all our weakness and lameness, but it gives us a favor and standing that overcomes its sting and changes the way we think about ourselves

-- David's grace to Mephibosheth is also a pattern for us in serving and ministering to others. We are David.

We should seek out our enemies and seek to bless them
We should look for the poor, weak, lame, and hidden to bless them
We should bless others when they don't deserve it, and bless them more than they deserve
We should bless others for the sake of someone else
We must show the kindness of God to others


.. there’s a beautiful song based on this story with a link to the video + lyrics at bottom :)


:D rejoice with me! :D


:D I’m Mephibosheth – lame & poor, yet carried to His banqueting table of lavish favor by Great King Jesus because of His covenant love!


:D continuously amazing me by His incredible grace~!

:D growing my delight of myself in Him & so not having to always succumb to temptation the way I used to!

*PRAY*


* show me how my combined birthday party could be maximised as an opportunity for MAXIMUM ETERNAL IMPACT!


* enough Christian friends will be at my party to have an eternally significant interaction with at least one other non Christian so every non Christian who comes will go away having seen, heard, tasted, smelled & touched something of Jesus!


* help me trust in God sufficiently so that I come to rest in who He is for me!


* I’d be like “David” to the “Mephibosheths” in my world!


* I’d glorify Him by using His promises~!


* He’d make a blessing of my life that I’ve messed up in so many ways, turning my failures Into success, and my weaknesses into strengths!


* confirm where He wants me to stay in Sydney mid-April-early May.


~thanks~!! Philemon 1:22 Because of your prayers, I can I fully expect God to answer them~! :)


please tell me how i can best support you before His throne of Grace too!


Carried To The Table - Leeland

Listen to /watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn9aX38mjaE


Verse1: Wounded and forsaken
I was shattered by the fall
Broken and forgotten
Feeling lost and all alone


Summoned by the King
Into the Master’s courts
Lifted by the Savior
And cradled in His arms


Chorus: I was carried to the table
Seated where I don’t belong Carried to the table
Swept away by His love


And I don’t see my brokenness anymore
When I’m seated at the table of the Lord
I’m carried to the table
The table of the Lord


Verse 2: Fighting thoughts of fear
And wondering why He called my name


Am I good enough to share this cup
This world has left me lame


Even in my weakness
The Savior called my name
In His Holy presence


I’m healed and unashamed (Chorus)




You carried me, my God You carried me


GOD WORKS WHEN WE PRAY! I'M LIVING PROOF!!

love Aye-bul, Your Friend in Prayer =D

praise & pray for S* [LBY]



i was prepping for todays' Engliah corner lesson on Jesus who forgave the sinful woman Luke 7:36-50] -- i felt a real burden in my heart for A* & S* two precious souls trapped in bondage to a religion of darkness, death & mass destruction.

.. how can they ever have truly live if they never have their sin-disease cured by the perfect sacrifice of God's lamb for them?!

in the end they didn't come .. praying they'll hear the Good News of Jesus who came to die for their sins also, that they might live for Him!

just had a truly frustrating conversation with S* .. he'sso blinded
.. but we know Him who still opens blind eyes today!! :D

* do intercede with me for him & the billions of others blinded by satan from seeing the light of the glory of God in Jesus Christ!!

"They do not believe, because their minds have been kept in the dark by the evil god of this world. He keeps them from seeing the light shining on them, the light that comes from the Good News about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God."
