PRAY FOR MUSLIMS!!!

Why Pray For Muslims?


Introduction / part 3:




Muslims do not generally realize :

... that Jesus, the Messiah, is to be obeyed.

... that Jesus has the ability to forgive sins.

... that Jesus has conquered death through his resurrection.

... that Jesus has power over evil spirits.



... Muslims think of Jesus as a great prophet who preached an earlier form of Islam.

... Muslims generally believe that they can earn God’s approval through religious activities (prayers, fasting, giving money).

... Muslims do not think they can know God. They only think that they can know about Him.



“Worthy are You ... for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.” (Rev. 5:9)



This is why we are praying.

rejoice with me & pray for me~!!

My dear precious siblings in Jesus:



When I was panic-stricken, I said, "I have been cut off from your sight." But you heard my pleas for mercy when I cried out to you for help. Psalms 31:22

:D the place of my incompetence is the place for God’s mercy! *phew* . . . I can relax!

.. some of what Abba Yahweh’s been revealing to me:

+ God may be asking you to step away from all that makes you feel safe so that your trust in Him can be complete and you can experience the joy and freedom of living in His safety & protection!

+ It’s ABNORMAL to be in a SUPERIOR covenant yet experience inferior blessings!!

+ If you believe you’re a sinner you’ll live as a sinner by faith!!

+ If you believe you’re righteous, you’ll live as righteous by faith!!

+ The Bible never refers to Christians as sinners but as saints!! – RIGHTEOUS ONES!


+ therefore, Sin is NOT the norm anymore!!

+ God is not consumed with our sin anymore!!


[so neither should we be consumed with our own sin, because It’s ALL been consumed by Jesus’ body on the cross!

+ We NEED to be more righteousness-conscious than we are sin-conscious! Is Christ’s work on the cross greater or is sin greater?!

.. and so the great adventure of journeying with Jesus continues ..

:D rejoice with me! :D

:D God is a God of mercy & deals with our messes!


:D the incredible privilege of joining MTM


[see http://www.mtmaustralia.org.au/] - journeying with a brotherhood of men who share their lives in great depth, with incredible [sometimes shocking!] honesty & openness!

:D Jesus truly cares for His people!

:D taking me away from being busybusybusy so I can simply be, and invest time solidly grounding myself in Him & who He wants me to be!

:D my identity & worth is not just wrapped up in what I do! [or can’t do!]

:D the absolute true rightness & beauty of His timing & ordering of events in this life He’s given me!

:D all I’ve ever “lost” in this life He’ given has been restored by my Father in greater measure with what is truly priceless & invaluable! (more intimate relationship with Him, better relationships with others, faith, hope, love, peace, joy, … the list goes on!)

:D every mess I make that He also gives me the grace & strength to clean up! 

:D the awesome time I had in the Elijah House course - part 2 this weekend – please pray!!

*PRAY*


* He’d cut me open, search my heart, my thoughts, reveal to me who I am, and change me, at any cost, to become what His Word says I ought to be.

* HELP ME always remember that the boat He sends me on cannot sink because JESUS IS ONBOARD!!

* I’d simply rest in who He’s called me to be rather than be driven by things [purpose, calling etc]

* reveal any self-protective measures I have in life based on lies, preventing me from moving forward in this life I’ve been given.

* Help me take leaps of faith, knowing that He’s my rock of safety!

* grow in me the fear of The Lord, as well as abandon fears that aren’t of The Lord!

* show me what restitution I must make in keeping with godly repentance!

*** Let us guard jealously our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and allow nothing to interfere with it.


The ultimate responsibility of staying alert rests with ourselves.***

~thank you~!


What a joy it is to be journeying with Abba Yahweh, Jesus The son by His Holy Spirit!! XD 8D =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!!

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!

pray for Cara [AUS]

Cara served me at the bank today - gave her gospel tracts in the past -- she sad "that's not my thing"
"it's your life" i replied
"sure is" she replied.
"make sure you make the right choie!" said i.
"that's the great thing about living in this country, we get to decide for ourselves about these things" she replied.

.. bid her farewell, feeling like that was a terribly powerless encounter :"(

*groan*

*pray for her spirit!

 also went away thinking that it might not be too long before people living here won't have a choice when it comes to deciding their religion -- if a certain forcefully imposing religious group gets their way ... it'll be "choose I****" or die!"

* may all the schemes of satan working through religious spirits come to nothing & precious lost souls be wooed into The Love of The Good Shepherd!

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

thanks for praying!!



thank God for the good time we had today!! :D

though we didn't quite get through all of Chrsitianity Explained #5 [on repentance] .. please ray withme --
he really needs personal revelation & experience of The Risen Lord Jesus - HIS all-surpassing beauty & worth that'll overcome all his mentally trying to "get Christianity" !!
but GOD IS WORKING AS HIS CHILDREN PRAY!! =D



how bout for u ? anything i could pray for u? :)

praise & pray for Stacey-Sofia [AUS]

i was served by Stacey in my bank -- her name means 'resurrection' ... she's obviously converted to islam & took on the muslim name Sofia which means 'pure' [!]
it's truly sad how many the enemy has deceived (especially western women!) into converting to islam

.. how can she ever be 'pure' unless she comes into the fulness of all Jesus achieved for her in His death & resurrection, that all her religious works & devotion can never achieve?!
gave her an 'eternity' tract... please pray for her & the 1,000,000,000+ other souls like her!

praise & pray for Elijah House course! [15-17/7]

finally! this Fri-Sun, i'll be taking part in this Prayer Ministry Training Course after a long wait!
my spirit, family relationships & other relationships has been deeply blessed through the few day courses i've gone to,
for more course info see: www.elijahhouse.com.au/pages/page91.asp

:D rejoice with me! :D



:D raising up ministries like Elijah House that teach such fundamental keys to living & being God's children in a broken world that doesn't get taught in the average 'church' setting! WHY?! ... to our loss =(

:D always providing ways & means for me to grow & get to things like this!!
*PRAY*




* we’d embrace & enter into all God has for us, dealing with hard issues in our lives in need of deep healing that are easier to just leave ignored!


* Quality rest before & during the course so we'd be fully alert & receptive to all He has to show & tell us!

* work powerfully by His Spirit, in our bodies, souls & spirits, to bring about tremendous fruit in transformed lives that bering great glory to Him!what a joy it is to be walking with The Wisest, Richest, Most Loving & Generous Father & King of all kings!!! :D


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

praise & pray for Mark [AUS]

-met at the bus stop yesterday .. got talking & found out he once was a "full-on Christian" but has stopped going to church .. he knows these are the end times & isn't ready for Jesus' return. :"(

:D his godly parents who have given him a bblessed spiritual heritage!
:D saving his life more than once! 

* give grace to his sick mum, draw her closer to Him in her suffering
* help him get over all that holds him back from being totally committed to following Jesus & to be ready for His soon return!

praise & pray for J & H[CHI]

:D J, a visting scholar & member of the c party, ended up coming to know The Saviour along with his wife while here!
:D giving them soon-to-come twins!
* daily grow them in The Revelation of Christ, that He'd become more & more precious to them than anyone/ anything else in this world!
[desire to be baptised, but holding back for fear of negative esponse by other c party mermbers]

* give them courage to not be ashamed of their allegiance to Him (Mark 8:38)
* help them to work out their new identity in Christ in their marriage, families & work!

* bless the delivery of the babies!

* help them know how to be godly parents who lovingly encourage, nurture, affirm, discipline & give their children the freedom to fail & have a good, living picture of who their Heavenly Father is because they see it in their lives!
* the new lives coming would be raised uyp to beHIStory makers in that land & to the ends of the earth!

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

thanks for praying!!
:D praise God for the good time we had yesterday!! :D
 - The Spirit led me to go through Christianity Explained #4 'salvation by grace not works' with him, following on from something he brought up during our last time together on how God could save a criminal who "became a Christian" just before he was executed for his crimes ..

operating with The Spirit in evangelism is soo cool & exciting!!!

there were times he'd bring up points of contention & i'd be stuck as to how to respond to him, but shot up quick prayers to The Throne & he'd put a thought / illustration in my mind!!! :D 

so while he seems to "get it" [in his head] that we can only be saved by God's grace & not by our works,  
* please do be praying Father makes the seed of Ephesians 2:8-10 & Mark 10:15 real in his life!! .. may Father work through the bible verses + the tract he has to read as homework to convict him of sin, & draw him to The Only Saviour!!
'Scientific facts in the Bible' 
[see http://onemilliontracts.com.au/p/booklet-way-of-the-master-scientific-facts-in-bible]

- i suspect his past involvement in martial arts + the spirit of his culture may be blockages from him totally repenting & throwing the full weight of his confidence on Christ.
he revealed an interesting cultural insight into Japanese & Taiwanese people, that they tend more towards  "balance" than extremes, and so their response to the person of Christ may tend to be more moderate than full-on.
 * take authority over every spiritual power & cultural spirit holding him captive from finding his true identity & "home" in Jesus, NOT in the martial arts!
* may Yoshi, & my others held captive by cultural spirits be completely set free -- free to live fully in Christ, and free to live fully for Christ!!!

* pray for our next time together - he seems keen to continue on with Christianity Explained - just 2 more to go!

.. i trust Father to move as we, His children, pray! :D

praise The glory of The King building His Kingdom!

from David Guzik's online commentary on Mark 4:

see: 

http://www.blueletterbible.org/commentaries/comm_view.cfm?AuthorID=2&contentID=7897&commInfo=31&topic=Mark

c. The harvest has come: Just as a field’s crop may be unnoticed when first planted, but can’t be missed when mature, so it is with the Kingdom of God. It has small beginnings, and its root may be small, but when God develops the work it cannot be missed. i. This is the glory of Jesus’ work in us. It was prophetically said of Him, a bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench (Isaiah 42:3). Jesus takes something as small and insignificant as a seed, buries it, and makes it rise up to something glorious. So, we should never despise the day of small things! (Zechariah 4:10)

ALL praise to The Lord Jesus!!! How glorious His  Kingdom that He can make so great a Kingdom from such miniscule materials! 

HE  REALLY IS NOT LIMITED BY THE “MATERIALS” (that is, YOU & ME!!) HE  WORKS WITH! 

.. and so, my dogged feelings of not "being enough" are gloriously thrown into the garbage bin!! :D 

and he goes on =)

a. It grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches: Some regard this as a beautiful picture of the church growing so large that it provides refuge for all of the world. But this mustard seed plant has grown into a monstrosity, and it harbors birds - who in the parables are emissaries of Satan, according to the foundational parable of the soils (Mark 4:13).

i. “The growth of the kingdom will not result in the conversion of the world. In fact, some of the growth will give opportunity for Satan to get in and go to work!” (Wiersbe)

b. Jesus, in considering the growth of the work of God, reminds us that size and status are not necessarily benefits. There has never been a great curse upon the world than corrupt Christianity, of the form of godliness without the power.

~DON'T HIDE YOUR LIGHT, FELLOW SAINTS~!!

We must not hide this light. If you have the truth of God, you have a solemn responsibility to spread that truth in whatever way God gives you opportunity, even as someone who has the cure for a life-threatening disease has the moral responsibility to spread that cure. God didn’t light your lamp so that it would remain hidden.

-- David Guzik

We have all eternity to celebrate our victories, but only one short hour

before sunset in which to win them." - Robert Moffat

My dear precious siblings in Jesus:



This journey with Jesus the past few months has been incredible! It feels like for the first time my spirit is coming alive .. like I’m only just starting to see with my spiritual eyes!

My identity: Barabbas! Call me Barabbas, cos that’s who I am.. all I deserved has been given to Him!
The guilty set free, the innocent has died! .. A life of sin was all I’d known .. I should’ve been killed but Jesus let me go!
[from the song ‘Call me Barabbas’ by Nathan Tasker]

Some necessary reminders:


You can’t fit His new life into the old forms. Jesus traded fasting for feasting; sackcloth and ashes for a robe of righteousness; a spirit of heaviness for a garment of praise; mourning for joy; law for grace. - David Guzik


“Faith disregards apparent impossibilities, where there is a command and promise of God." - John Ortberg

.. and so the great adventure of journeying with Jesus continues .. =D

:D rejoice with me! :D

:D connecting me with an *awesome* family in Christ at Rochedale Baptist Church - my spirit has found a home!

:D exposing more of my ugly self-consciousness that I might be more God-conscious!

:D what He commands, though “seemingly impossible”, He enables!

:D constantly resourcing me with *just* what I need at just the right time!!

*PRAY*


* I’d not be a fool by trying to avoid pain & control other people, but instead grow up to be a man, embracing suffering & trusting others!

* help me repent from my habitual lust by pursuing love in all its’ fullness + not fighting / repressing the wrong desires / thoughts but taking them to Jesus & submitting it to Him!

* help me face the truth about myself, however ugly & painful it may be!

* I’d give up the games I play to avoid the pain I claim I don’t feel :S

* help me be truly humble – having an accurate view of myself that drives me constantly to the Lord! Being transparent! Living without pretence! Without hypocrisy!

* I’d be taking the right risks for Him, so trust in Him is increased!

* help me to see Father, Son & Holy Spirit loving people & love with Him in His community to people & the world!

* help me set proper boundaries at the proper time with the proper people!


* help me live as a life-giving man, protecting the life of others!

* show me what “seemingly impossible” things He’s commanding me that I need to trust His enabling for!

~thank you~!


what a joy it is to be journeying with Abba Yahweh, and Jesus The son by His Holy Spirit!! XD 8D =D

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