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

 

 

:D the great day spent catching up with Yoshi & some mutual friends at their new coffee shop & over dinner!

.. the stress in his life keeps piling up ..

* use all this stress in Yoshi's life to bring him low & see his need for a Saviour!!

* work out His glory in the life of Yoshi & his loved ones .. take what satan intends to crush, kill, steal & destroy to backfire in satans' face to bring life, healing & blessing in lavish abundance!!!

WAHOO~! WHAT A MIGHTY AWESOME SUPER DUPER INCREDIBLY WONDERFUL GOD WE SERVE~!!

.. discovered from the trauma he's experienced, he's since built his life on a foundation of anger & bitterness (which keeps him from receiving the healing & abundant life Jesus came to bring him!)

... scary thing is he's not going to let go of this foundation ... :( 

* pray with me for breakthrough!!

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

would really appreciate prayers for Yoshi as i catch up with him tomorrow - that i persevere in loving him as a person made in God's image, disconnected but desperately in need of relationship with Him! esp. to have the right words to speak into his life at the right time!

praise & pray for Syed [BNGDSH]

.. met Syed again yesterday after my afternoon walk ..
:D the rain held up for long enough to go for a walk & get home with out getting drenched!
:D giving us a blessed time of getting to know each other!
* give me wisdom & love in being Christ to him - feel lke i have so little to give him [in worldly terms] & he's already offering so much to me ...

* i won't take advantage of him & our new friendship as a means of selfish gain!

* give opportunity in future to share the gospel with him!

* convict him of his sin & his need of a Saviour to save his precious soul!
... i see much "good" in Syed, by human standards. :|

***UPDATE*** praise and pray for ignite conference!

WOW!! of all the "BLT" conferences I've been to in my many years of conference going, this years' was THE BEST!! .. maybe it has to do with how Papa's led me in the journey ..

... 

*especially* if you're a worker, i don't know of anywhere else you'll get such solid, challenging & encouraging  & transformational truth on the topic of work, workplace relations & money! i don't know if your church ever deals in depth with those topics but if it doesn't, why not? they occupy such a huge slice of our lives!! make it your aim to come to the next Refresh / Ignite! see www.qcca.org.au

:D rejoice with me! :D
:D revealing to us Who is *truly* worthy for us to give our whole lives to! 

:D firing up the new year with a renewed vision of life lived for the One who is worthy of all our worship and service!

:D enabling [most] of us to sleep well throughout the week!

*PRAY*
* we not only be hearers of The Word, but doers!

* use the teaching, discussions, conversations, prayer times, training & all material that got out to encourage, inspire, challenge & mobilise His children to gladly pour their lives out for The One who alone is worthy of our lives!

* empower us to faithfully [and fruitfully!] apply the much we've been given to see much increase for His Kingdom glory!

*fan into a massive, bright burning, consuming fire His Spirit of Revival as His Powerful, Liberating Truth goes out clearly & unashamedly in our lives & His church!

praise & pray for Syed [BNGDSH]

.. was out walking this arvo in an attempt to gt tired so i'd sleep knowing i have to wake up in 4 hours [!] but it didn't work :O was on the way to my sisters' place to pick mint when Syed cam out to his car .. i greeted him .. was about to walk past but ... God [??] turned me around & i asked where he was from ... we made some small talk ... then his housemates [??] came back, they got talking & i was off to pick mint.

as i was picking mint, i got a prompting in in my spirit to pick some & give it to him. i hadn't a clue whether mint was used in Bangladeshi dishes, but it wouldnt hurt to try ;)

so i picked some, praying he'd still be there as i walked back.

YESSSS! ;)

he was quite delighted to receive the mint, & gave me some free pens from his company in return ;D

strangely enough he said after i walked away from our brief 1st chat, he hoped i would return!

.. must've been God :D

we got talking more, i sense this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship :D

[but i must wary not to take advantage of him as he has "much to offer"].

please pray i'd be empowered to give into his life in ways that would make HIS Name great, seeing HIS Kingdom coming & HIS will being done!! thanks :D

*sigh* .. pray i can finally fall asleep or have 4 hrs of super-hi-quality sleep - got a packed wek ahead at the Ignite conference!

rejoice with me & pray for me!

My precious siblings in Jesus:

Celebrated & will celebrate a few precious milestones since my last mail & coming up:

:D Celebrate with me! :D
:D 16/1 was the 3rd anniversary since my 2nd accident falling & hitting my head on a brick wall.







:D tomorrow[24/1] will be my 10th anniversary since the brain injury .. I’m 10 years ALIVE!! (truly alive!)

Hehehe.. I should really quit head banging :P

Great nuggets of truth:
Living in the future causes our fears to stand between us and ‘I AM’, who says, ‘Do not fear for I am with you’. He’s the ever- present God!


I AM is the God of today. He simply asks that we trust Him and live throughout today in uncompromising obedience to Him. He asks that we make right choices, with right heart attitudes and motives. This is proof that we love Him. Then His unswerving promise will be ours today; ‘And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose’ (Romans 8:28).

:D rejoice with me! :D

:D the revelation He gave me for this year the day after the 1st Sozo basic training night = ‘Transformation’ .. the picture was that of a caterpillar ‘metamorphaeing’ into a butterfly.


WAHOO~! DO IT PAPA!


:D He’s the Great ‘I AM’ - ever able to redeem the past and restore us. Nowhere does He ever call Himself ‘I was’.


:D every potential disaster / fear / worry that could have been real in my life, that wasn’t, because of His restraining hand of grace!!

:D the new track He’s leading me on this year! .. more later ;)

:D tearing the walls down I’ve built around my heart & trusted in for so long, to be set free to love & LIVE!

*PRAY*


I’ll be away at Ignite 24-28th Jan. Please pray!


See http://lifesshortprayhard.blogspot.com/2012/01/praise-and-pray-for-ignite-conference.html


* do encounter course? See http://lifesshortprayhard.blogspot.com/2012/01/update-praise-pray-for-sozo-this.html

* keep growing me to be a good & faithful steward , continuously consulting Holy Spirit for guidance, letting Him train my vision on my ultimate goal – Jesus, the model of stewardship & the prosperous soul.


* keep me living as a lover, embracing those He puts around me ¬ running back to the unreal “safety” of the walls I once hid behind to self-protect against possible pain.


* help me live courageously - journeying into the unknown with a known God! (I’ve wasted far too much of this precious life I’ve been given in slavery to spirits of fear! .. it’s time to live the truth of my freedom!!!)


* I’d be a wise, good & faithful steward in selecting the best phone deal to go on now my contract has expired .. prepaid? contract? need Papa to show me the next week or two whether he'll have me stay in Brisbane for the Encounter Training course or not which would influence my decision :)


:D there's no end of great cheap, high-value deals going at the moment!






.. but at the same time i don't want my decision to be come from a poverty spirit .. :
~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!

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

 

.. honestly, its very rare that I've felt so good deep inside of me to see someone again!

:D bringing Yoshi back safely from his holiday overseas!

.. wasn't too sure what Holy Spirit's been doing in his life .. seems to be coming under much stress at how key relationships in his life have taken a turn for the worse :"(

some of his loved ones in situations that seem hopeless .. 

:D as long as God is, there is hope!

* work out His glory in the life of Yoshi & his loved ones .. take what satan intends to kill, steal & destroy to backfire in satans' face to bring life, healing & blessing in lavish abundance!!!

***UPDATE*** praise & pray for Sozo [this weekend!]

:D wahoo! for the awesome encounter it was with Papa, Jesus & Holy Spirit!

:D the precious revelations given, the healing & freedom that's going to flow to a hurting world as more & more people get equipped with this 'Sozo' tool to bring His salvation, healing and deliverance to a lost, wounded & dying world! to see CAPTIVES SET FREE!

it really piqued my interest in joining their  encounter ministry course (see 

www.nexuschurch.com.au/bssm-info)

.. would really appreciate your prayers for Holy Spirit leading  guidance & confirmation if NOW is the time to do this! ... because it seems like such a "good idea" but is it a GOD idea? ;)

~thanks~!

 

***UPDATE*** pray for Sho [JAP]+ Cindy [TW]

 
.. i met Sho last Friday .. nothing of spiritual matter took place .. it seemed (?!) he brought his housemate along who's been in Aus 2 weeks & was bored ... but quiet ... i wonder why i tend to go quiet in situations of more than a 1-on-1 setting? ... anyhow .. God willing, we'll meet more in the short few months he has left in Aus. he wants to eat KFC .. guess who just put out coupons ;)
pray for wisdom & strategy to best connect him to Papa, Jesus & Spirit!

praise & pray for Sozo [this wewekend!]

i'll be going  for this basic training this Fri & sat.

Sozo is a Greek word translated “saved, healed and delivered”.

The Sozo ministry is a unique inner healing and deliverance ministry in which the main aim is to get to the root of those things hindering your personal connection with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Thus with a healed connection with Father, Son and Holy Spirit you can walk in the destiny to which you have been called. The focus of this training will be on the development of the skills and tools that help people come to a new freedom in God.

Sozo is an inner healing/deliverance ministry. Sozo is simple, fast, Spirit led and effective. Sozo finds issues in minutes instead of years. Sozo helps heal your relationship with God to enable you to fulfil your destiny.
http://www.nexuschurch.com.au/component/content/article/119-training-overview/270-sozo-training

:D for all the aceess we have to many means of healing Papa wants to do in our lives!
* we'd be fully open receptive to all He wants to do in our spirits, soul & bodies!
* in fulfilling our God-made destinies, we'd be HIStory makers to make His Name Great, see His Kingdom come & His will being done!

***UPDATE*** pray for Chris [AUS]

Chris, a troubled youth who's been coming to RBC lately has had his ugly past come back & haunt him & his sister.
he's now in a life-threatening situation & is so scared he sleeps with a knife nearby!
he's longing to get out of the whole drug world he was once entangled with, but thinks it's too hard to get out. 
we serve The God of the impossible!!
let's pray for him to do His specialty with Chris & his sister~!
may many captive souls be set free in Jesus' Name!!
pray also for the warring gangs in the drug scene be turned from enemies of Christ into friends~!

***UPDATE*** pray for Richard [KOR]

thanks for praying~! 




:D giving us a great time together last night & today - he cooked dinner for a few friends + me :) . . . though it felt like nothing of real spiritual significance happened, it was good to just hang out with them & be human ;)

:D he's been joining a bible discussion time last week, looking at the bible ..he's finding it all interesting but feels shy to ask his questions. :D giving me an interpretation for some visions he's had as he's been wanting to experience Jesus & have relationship with Him!
1st vision, a few weeks ago. in his attempt to connect with God, he tried praying out loud for the 1st time.
the 1st thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a spider!
he killed it :O

2nd vision, the morning after - upon waking up, he saw his room door was open, even though he'd closed it before going to bed.  ... the 1st time he asked me what it meant i had no idea .. in prayer with The Giver of interprtations of dreams Friday morning, i sensed in my spirit the spider = fear. so in seeking to conect with & experience God, he would face fears. the open door = Papa opening up the door of opportunity to enter relationship with Him. but in order for Richard to embrace this opportunity to enter relationship with God, he'd have to leave his "room" behind .. deny self, lay down his fears, "control" he has over his life, accept that it'd mean death . not immediate euphoria & happyhappyjoyjoy :|

* keep seeking & saving Richard, especially as he goes away next week to be a conservation volunteer in Toowoomba~!

pray for Richard [KOR]

. pls pray for me to be an instrument of His love to Richard
- meeting him @11am today .. really wanna connect him to JESUS!

rejoice with me & pray for me!

My dear precious siblings in Jesus:

BLESSINGS to you in the new year!!

:D
may this year be one of growth in intimacy with PapaJesusSpirit!! :)
keep LIVING LOVED AND LOVING!!

.. for anyone who’s ever felt like they were ugly, unwanted, terribly imperfect, UNwonderful .. listen to the truth of this song until it sinks deep into your spirit~!

- “Meant to Be” by Steven Curtis Chapman


A thought I had as I was eating dinner a few nights ago:

In every bite of food I chew, God lets me taste Love.

In every breath of air I breathe, God lets me breath Love.

In every thing I can see, God lets me see Love.

In every thing I can touch, God lets me touch Love.


In every thing I can smell, God lets me smell Love.


In every thing I can hear, God lets me hear Love.

With every sense my Papa God has given me, God lets me know, I am loved!


I am one happily content man!!!

I have been totally dumbfounded & humbled by how much JUNK I've thrown out as I've been progressively cleaning my room the past few weeks :S [stuff i once thought was useful, precious, even necessary!]

Play song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rl45JnnRSw

I’m looking into the new year ahead, expecting a year of having to face my “giants” [fears], growing in the area of love, which includes putting to death my instinct to avoid pain & suffering which is so very often part of the journey of love.. all the while, resting assured that Papa will send His angels to strengthen me in any suffering to go through it to emerge victorious, looking more like Jesus on the other end!

“Today, if there are what seems like shambles of destruction in your life and hopelessness grips your heart, I pray that Isaiah 61:3 will remind you of the One who owns your life. If we’re willing to yield to His work, He has a plan for beauty and restoration and redemption that is beyond our comprehension. Our Father God is at work redeeming and restoring our lives, every day that we offer them to Him – whether we realise it or not, whether we see the beauty yet or not”
source: http://www.seedsofthekingdom.com/devotionals/1219/redeeming-renovations-.php

Father God, You know my life’s circumstances and that I haven’t received the love that You meant me to have. I want so much to be loved. Would You show me my worth through Your eyes and would You give me Your love. May I experience the fullness of it. I want so much of it that I can freely pass it on to my brothers and sisters, knowing that I won’t lose any for myself. I accept that experiencing Your love is not a one minute event. I’m prepared to grow in it at Your pace and in Your way.

:D rejoice with me! :D

:D reigniting my faith, stirring up my passion afresh~!! .. through an incredible team of young Korean missionaries from Sydney who visited a month ago to partner in the gospel with us here in Brisbane ..they are SOOO *infectiously* PASSIONATE FOR JESUS~!! .. how thirsty I’ve been to hang around such company!!

:D the awesome year of spiritual highlights that filled 2011! (Revelation of my Heavenly Papa going from mere “head” knowledge to heart experience! … opening up my spiritual eyes to be sensitive to Holy Spirit & the whole supernatural realm! … moving me to an incredible [spiritual] family that lives & moves in synch with His Spirit! .. all the inner healing that’s taken place in my spirit, soul & body through key people, courses & events!

:D the great expectations & sweet assurance that as I’ve witnessed His faithfulness in 2011, I will even more in 2012!!

*PRAY*


* show me what He wants me to do, where He wants & when He wants!

* I’d have supernatural discernment to know what’s best from what’s good!

* show me how I can work with Him in what He’s doing & use what He’s given me to build character!

* grow me in relational intimacy with Papa that works out in every area of life!

* I’d live ever ready for the return of my King!

* I’d live as my name is – “GOD is Able to SAVE” & DO THE IMPOSSIBLE! - i am NOT powerless & useless!!!

* I’d learn through constant glad surrender to know The Lord of love in a new way to experience unbroken union with Him!!

*grow me in humility – to be known for who I really am in spite of the consequences!

~thank you~!

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!
