a prayer .. in response to 2 Kings 6

O Abba Yahweh, PLEASE open my eyes to see & operate in the realm of The spirit, MUCH MORE than in the realm of the natural!!!

praise & pray for Street witnessers!!

thanks 4 all those who prayed for us last Sat as we witnessed on the streets of China town in Sydney.

i haven't done it 4 ages & was reminded how tough it was! the "foot soldiers" htting the streets of cities/villages globally NEED your prayers!!

do pray for the salvation of those who heard / received something of the gospel.
may Holy Spirit water those seeds & bring them to fruition - fruit that lasts to the fathers glory!!
praise God for the few chats i had with the following people:
[Danny, Linda, Brian, Bart,
Reza Afghani taxi driver i left a $1,000,000 tract with]
may Daddy God bring them to their senses to 'come back Home' to His house of Love!
ask me more about the chats i had with thm if you're interested ... ;)

met a Chinese brother walking on the way home who'd lost his wallet on his birthday & was celebrating it alone [!!] praise God for helping me follow His promptingst o get alot of cash out [i didn't need to at the time] but of course, after meeting Raymond [the Chinese brother] i knew why, and was greatly blessed to give generously to him
(i only wish i was there to see his face when he discovered how much was in his pocket!!)
.. these are the moments of special blessing that confirms the unequalled joy of knowing you're walking in Abba Yahweh's will X-D

4me

:D praise Daddy God for the significant talks i'm having with Ben & Fiona! [the couple i'm staying with]
.. they've challenged me, inspired me, encouraged me .. JUST what i neded!!


do pray Father's richest blessing on their marriage & 'their ministry centre'!! (their house]


.. so now i'm really asking, seeking & knocking to receive, find & have doors opened to what HE wants me to do with this life He gave me!
.. how i can best LOVE Him with ALL my heart, soul, mind  strength ... and love my neighbour as myself!




i'd very much treasure your prayers that He'd show me what gift/ability He's given me to be used for His glory & the good of others!!!

off the top of my head ..
. . . please help me fill in the blanks if you can see anything else in me given from Him!!- encouragement + ability to speak English.--> become an English teacher/tutor?
-deep voice --> get work on the radio / some sorta voice work . . .  or join a choir ..??


so my prayer from my journaling time is this:
Daddy God, PLEASE show me what I can do to prepare for Your promised blessing! … You want to prepare me to receive it .. now show me my part!! even hard work I don’t want to do / hear I must do!
thank You Abba, You’ll never ask me to do more than You’ll enable me to do! :D .. You’ll give me something I really can do! =D
.. please keep me from the way of unbelief & the curse –acting only on the mere “strength” of what i have, help m act in expectation of that which i have asked. let me prepare NOW for Your promised blessing!!!







so i'm going to apply to do a DO TESOL COURSE in late July-Nov,


* please pray with me for Him to confirm that prompting [i'm following this with many doubts/uncertainties/fears!!] by freeing me up every Tuesday Night for the duration of the course, providing the creativity, wisdom, energy & strength to do it to my very best and NOT give into doubts  fears / negativity and quit halfway (as i'm very, very, VERY prone to!!)
thank you soo much!
i'm really enjoying this incredible journey with Daddy God .. expecting many twists & turns, but He's told me to "be strong and courageous, do not be terrified of them, for the Lord your God is with you, He will never leave you nor forsake you" (Deuteronomy 31:6) .. i'm still wondering who the "them" is .. i think Daddy is speaking about me .. too often i fear myself! :|

4 me

i'm REALLY enjoying my 'time out' with my Father in Heaven here in Sydney!!! :D

- as One who's been made at Peace with God through Jesus' death & resurrection for me an& as me, He sends me out with His delegated authority to forgive or to retain peoples' sins!! (John 20!)
i'm asking, seeking & knocking at His door to show me WHERE He wants me to do this, in WHAT caacity & tow WHOM!

.. who am i to doubt Him?!! ;)
 really value your prayers for us!!

*PRAY*
* keep all registered couples free to go to the M.E.R & have no last-minute surprises pop up preventing them from going or refusing to participate halfway / dropping out before completing the weekend [as has often happened!]
* give OPEN, TEACHABLE hearts & ears for all couples attending to hear & receive God's Word that bears fruit to His glory, not resisting the Holy Spirit's refining fire process of making beauty through breaking!!

* lasting life change & lifelong application of all that'll be learnt!
* marriages would change to look more like earthly reflections of the Divine marriage between Christ & His church!
* Christ be made to look great through the marriages of His people!
* keep drawing unsaved spouses to Jesus through the love, life-and-word witness of their saved spouses & friends [as has often happened!]
* thwart every evil scheme of the stealer, killer & destroyer of love & lives, that Jesus would have the manifest pre-eminence in ALL THINGS!
. . . thank God we're on the winning side~!

.. he's been to the top & found nothing there .. but i don't think he 's yet found TRUELife=JESUS!

My dear precious siblings in Jesus:



A great tidbit:

God does not want us to be continually living in our past, but to live with Him each moment in the present, where He will be to us all we need.

I’m off to Sydney tomorrow [14/4] for an Ellel ministries seminar on 'restoring the broken spirit' from the 15-17th =)






 

:D rejoice with me! :D

:D daily refreshing me through His Word – 1 Kings has never brought me such abundant hope as a sinner saturated in His grace, as I keep turning to Him!

:D giving me good [?!] sleep at the English Corner camp even though there was a rocking snorer in my room .. I lay awake for a long time, eventually prayed myself to sleep [!]


:D giving me a quiet room all to myself on the second night of English Corner camp for a beautiful nights’ rest!




I really covet your prayers for me at this seminar;


* I’d embrace & enter into all God has for me, that I’ve shied away from all these yrs [!!]


* i'd have Quality rest during the seminar so I’ll be fully alert & receptive to all He has to show & tell me!


.. Then I’ll be taking two weeks off to properly process everything covered in the seminar, and spend LOTS OF QUANTITY + QUALITY TIME with Abba Yahweh. (greatly looking forward to it!)


please pray it will be such a time, and I not give into idleness!


~thanks~!!

what a joy it is to be serving The wisest, Richest, Most Generous King of all kings!!! :D


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


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

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 tyre in the boot -

- and start seeing it as the steering wheel!

**UPDATE** praise & pray for Yoshi [JAP]

thanks for praying!! GOD IS WORKING!! =D X-D



today, we were supposed to continue our Christianity Explained sessions .. but he came with all these great questions!!
most which i felt inadequate to answer :S

but thank God, he stayed "over time" & my mentor i meet 1-on-1 with arrived & dealt with the questions well! :)


for some reason he mentioned he "feels power" in the words i share with him .. [praise You, Holy Spirit!!]

BUT he said he also "feels power" in the words his buddhist aunty shared with him .. which started his spiritual journey for truth ..

he seems on a real quest for truth .. but is suspicious of religion & the bible . . . truly, how can Yoshi ever know Jesus, who is The Truth, unless Father draws him to Jesus?!
please pray for him!

won't be able to meet him for the next 3 mondays [away in Sydney]* may our Good Shepherd keep seeking & saving many many lost Japanese sons & daughters!
.. i trust Father to move as we, His children, pray!

the big thing that's been on his mind is will his country be ready when the next big disaster hits? he thinks it could destroy his whole country.
i told him the bible says THE BIG disaster to come won't just destroy Japan, but THE EARTH &HEAVEN!
* may Hoy Spitit instil in him & all his people a desperate urgency to get right with their Maker before it's too late!!!

***UPDATE*** praise & pray for english corner camp! [8-10/4

Thanks for your prayers! We had a wonderful English Corner Easter camp at the Gold Coast.
Everyone participated in the English Corner Passion play and most heard the Easter story for the very first time.

:D PRAISE :D

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

:D all the friendships made & strengthened, as well as meaningful conversations that happened!
:D keeping numbers small & cosy!!

:D Thank You Jesus for this privilege of sharing Yyour story with others!!


*PRAY*


* protect & water every seed planted & bring it to fruition - to bring much glory to Father & grow His Kingdom!

* cause many of them to be found by The Good Shepherd who laid down HIs life for His sheep!

* sovereignly work to allow these precious souls to accept The Gift of forgiveness of sins, The Holy Spirit & Eternal Life in Jesus this Easter & pass it on to others yet to receive Him!

* The Son would rise & shine especially in those yet to receive a personal revelation of The One & Only Saviour, Jesus christ!!
~thanks~! GOD WORKS WHEN WE PRAY~!!*** ETERNITY WILL SHOW THE FULL FRUIT OF OUR PRAYERS***

praise & pray for Sarah [CHI]

one of the original batch of students who came to our English Conversational Class 4 years ago recently came back ..
evidently, Father's been on her case !! [how exciting!!]
surprisingly, she turned up to the prayer meeting last Sunday - when most "christians" don't / can't come!
she's been joining our Sunday services & English bible studies after lunch, keenly taking notes  .. :D
after the sermon in our conversation, she asked me about how to pray.

obviously, she wants a relationship with Father!
please pray for her - may she be won into His love, and given the gift of repentance & faith in The Name of Jesus!!

praise & pray for Stefan, Ian, Ricky, Ralph, Anne [FRA, TW, KOR]

those i met through English corner yesterday![discussed Jesus is God-a life changing catch of fish]



:D PRAISE! :D

:D bringing them here!


:D Jesus replies our requests to "go away from me for i'm a sinful being" with
"do not be afraid, from now on you'll be catching pople" !!


i dont know about you but that truth *keeps* hitting me afresh: how many times have i made that same request to Jesus & He didn't leave me in my sin, but transformed me to be a fisher of men -

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]


O, the richness of learning that happens when you teach others!!

:D He's still speaking peace to our fears & turning sinners into 'fishers of men'!

*PRAY*


* stir up a hunger in these precious souls to want to know The One who is Holy & can transform sinful beings into rescuers of souls!

* reveal Christ as Lord to these precious souls, that they might find Him as exceedingly precious, desirable & delightfully satisfying!

* we'd see these dear lost souls in heaven, loving Jesus much because they were forgiven much through Jesus, along with others who're there because Jesus has transformed them to be fishers of men!!

* work by His Spirit through all the 'English corners' globally to draw lost souls into Living, Personal Relationship with Himself! see www.yourenglishcorner.net/ - 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 to 'home' eternally-changed souls, to join the missionary force He's raising up there!
* use the 2nd hand mobile phone a brother passed me that Ayumi [JAP]took up the offer of to connect her to people who'd help connect her to Relationship with Jesus!

if you have/know anyone who has an old/broken/unwanted/unused mobile phone,




would you please pass /send it to me so I can pass it onto others who could use them? (i may be able to get it fixed if there's any MINOR problems!)

.. just another way, we, the body of Christ, could be blessings to others :)
 
GOD WORKS WHEN WE PRAY~!! =)

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

**UPDATE** praise & pray for Yoshi [JAP]

thanks for praying!! GOD IS WORKING!! =D X-D
at our catch up on Mon, he initiated to continue our Christianity Explained sessions [which were put on "pause" for a good many weeks!]
. .. AND not only that, he even asked what will we do after thecourse is finished!!
[i thought "wow, we haven't even finished the course, and you're already wanting to go on?!" XD]

it seems his recent visit back to Japan after all the disasters have shifted his thinking about life & death.. he really wants to know the meaning of life, pondering all those big issues.
he's lost value in "things" and sees relationships & love of ultimate worth!
while he wants nothing of "religion",
he's happy to study the bible & learn more about Jesus with me :D
Father blessed us with bonus time together last night too.. i'm looking forward to resuming Christianity Explained with him - our next session will be on the all-important topic of "Salvation by Grace-NOT works"
* value your prayers for us next Monday [11/4] that His Holy Spirit would work the miracle of Divine Conversion of Yoshi's soul, to truly, humbly turn from himself, and turn to Jesus in saving Trust! 

* may our Good Shepherd keep seeking & saving many many lost Japanese sons & daughters!
