please rejoice with me & pray for me~!!

i confess i'm still dissatisfied with my relationship with Father. i hunger for reality, to truly know Him so much more than i do, than through interaction with a book & superficial exchanges with others inside the four walls of a religious insitutional building... :S

look at the moon . . . I wanna be just like that ^__^ (that is, brightly reflecting a glory not my own, simply faithfully reflecting His glorious light to all =) -- i'm not an very faithful or bright reflector tho :"(

precious brothers & sisters, do pray for me!!

i'm ever thankful to Father for putting you into my life :D

this life is definitely not an easy journey, but it sure is ever exciting & worth it =)

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 ;)

i'm trying to be real with Father, resisting the urges to crawl into my shell and silently endure lifelessness. i've substituted many things for the power of His love :"(

i long for Him to show me how my diligent efforts at good works for Him may be obscuring His love for me!

- i'm ever being brought low by fresh realisations of my own stupidity & selfishness, covered by "good intentions" :(

- so often i don't take care of myself because i've believed the lie i'm nothing worth taking care of :"( ... an age old demon still lingering from my teenage years, despite having more than enough evidence that i am very greatly loved & of high value~!!

. . . what is wrong with me?! Oh, how i long to be free from me!

:D rejoice with me~! :D

:D bringing *just* the right books into my life at the right time!! latest good book i've devoured:
http://www.jakecolsen.com/contents.html (here you can download two new PDF versions + a PDA version that can be read with Microsoft Reader. Translations are also available in Russian, Dutch, French German, and Spanish

:D His Truth always triumphs over lies!!
:D i'm weak & foolish, but He's Almighty & all wise~!
:D He's answering my prayers & leading me deeper into His love!

:D He's committed to freeing me from the tyranny of self, for only then can i enjoy God's resources and discover just how generous He really is!

:D He wants to lead me and help me trust Him even through the most brutal circumstances.

:D Because Father takes such incredible care of us, we no longer have to live self-focused lives. Thus it will be easier for us to see ways He wants us to help others!

:D There is nothing so terrible that He cannot work into His plan for our lives.

:D If He doesn't give me something i want, it's because I really don't need it!

:D God does not live in our imagined futures!

:D _lavishing_ me with the liberating joy of losing "good things " in life so i can get God's BEST!

:D less incidences of "rubbish sleep"~!!!!

*PRAY FOR ME*

* Spirit of Truth, come in & consume me. empty me of all the lies i've believed, fill me with Your Truth!
* i'd cease from my stupidity of trying to "go it alone" - i'd keep coming back to Him in every small or big thought / decision / action & the living treasures of wisdom He's surrounded me with~!

Won’t it be a joy again to wake up confident about being loved by God every day, without having to earn it by any act of righteousness on your part? This is the secret to first love: don’t try to earn it. Know that you are accepted and loved, not for what you can do for God, or somehow hoping that you will be worthy of His acceptance, but because His greatest desire is to have you as one of His children. Jesus came to remove any obstacle that would prevent that from happening.
In this Kingdom you really do get what you seek. That is the point to the whole thing. If you’re looking for a relationship with God, you will find it.

* i'd not live by good intentions, but live in the freedom of His love & out of the life He avails so readily to me!
* i'd keep on abandoning my agendas & embracing His!

* i'd live every moment to the maximum, making much of Jesus & stop wasting time on dumb things!

* thoughts of Him would consume me & i'd stop thinking so much about food / all the mental rubbish i've accumulated over the years!

* i'd find my sustenance in doing the will of the One who sent me, finishing the work He started!
* wisdom to take care of myself (my worst subject in life!!) - to know my limits and not take on too much >_<

* help me delegate where i can & not be stupid by trying to take on everything myself!

* i'd learn to feast on Jesus as Life itself, to truly know the reality that our hearts desperately long for.

* i'd stop wasting energy being frustrated over past events or worried about future ones and use energy to draw near to Him and learn to listen to his heartbeat instead!

* i'd abandon my "right" to decide what is good or not good for myself.

* i'd die to the right to judge anything on my terms and learn to live out of my relationship to Father.

* i'd learn to simply be thankful in everything including the storms that rage in my own mind and watch in awe as He uses them as opportunities to teach me to walk on water.

As long as we live to our own agenda, even what we think God might desire for us, we will miss out on the very life he is giving to us. I find my prayers changing from “God, change this!” to “Father, how are you working in this for your glory?”

When we die to the right to determine good and evil for ourselves we find the freedom to feast on the tree of Life. No longer growing frustrated when our comfort zones burst, we are free to see His purpose unfold and not be bogged down by our agenda. Now we are free to live in His life, not be plagued by our own agenda.

* i'd not determine what good i want or what evil i must prevent in the future & so be prevented from manipulating everything and everyone around me!

* the power of his cross would Free me to Live In the Moment!

* i'd be increasingly skeptical of my own agenda and preferences. Instead of wasting all my efforts trying to sculpt my life the way i want it, i’ll find the joy of living in the middle of His purpose working out in me. i’ll be able to embrace Him and His work in me as easily in times of trouble as in times of ease. And by standing in his unfolding purpose i’ll know the truest joy of being His son in the world!

* i'd start everyday without my own preferences for how I want things to turn out, to be constantly amazed at what God is doing in my life and genuinely thankful at every turn!

* Everyday Father lets me taste of His generous love, He'd show me how He wants to channel His generosity through me to touch others! see great article here! http://www.lifestream.org/LSBL.Aug05.html

AN OPEN INVITE TO ALL: if you care about me & love me, please tell me anytime you see something wrong in my life! where do you see faults in my life / character? What areas would you like to see me grow & change by God’s grace?” -- all part of me obeying 1 Tim 4:16 which is too easy to neglect with such dire consequences!!
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!!

latest uplifting song to touch my heart with His TRUTH!
watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEVNJsL0Zq4

You Are Being Loved Steven Curtis Chapman
1. So you think love is only for the good enough And one thing you’re never gonna be worthy of But there’s a song being sung over you By the One who breathes life into you

Chorus:
You are being loved You are being loved Right now at this very moment You are being loved You are being loved Right now you are being loved, loved, loved You are being loved, loved You are

2. You ought to see the smile you’re bringing to your Father’s face You ought to hear Him sing His version of Amazing Grace ‘cause that’s the song being sung over you By the God who breathes life into you (Chorus)
Bridge:
With every breath that you’re taking And every beat of your heart Even while this song is playing Whatever you do Wherever you are There’s a song being sung over you
(Chorus x 3)

pray for the unreached!!

"Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." Luke 6:27b
What other "religious" leader could offer such a radical teaching? Jesus really was asking the humanly impossible! God the Father told Moses that there should be an "eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," He was setting limits that would prevent an endless stream of retaliation. Now Jesus was saying to "do good," "bless" and "pray for" our enemies. Only the Holy Spirit can give us the strength to do these things! And only those who are following Christ have the power of the Holy Spirit. But this is this kind of radical obedience that draws the nations to Christ.

Pray that you will have the kind of obedience that sets you apart.

"Jesus answered them, 'It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." ' Luke 5:31
All of humanity falls into the category of "sinners" who need to repent. But a little more than half the world's population lives within people groups that have access to the Scriptures in their own language and/or a fellowship of believers. What about the other half, the other "sinners"? The first group has access to the life-saving gospel, and a relationship with our sin-forgiving Savior. The other half looks to rituals and religion to heal this mortal wound. Don't we owe them the gospel?

Pray for the gospel to quickly go to the peoples that still have no way to atone for their sins, and do not yet know the One who alone can forgive.

"Simon answered, 'Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets." ' Luke 5:5
Can you relate to what Simon Peter was saying here? I'm sure that many missionaries can. There are times when it really doesn't seem that the fields are ripe for the harvest, but instead, we are wasting our time. Years may go by before someone working among an unreached people group might see visible fruit from their work. Experienced missionaries tell us that it sometimes takes more than 15 years to plant a church among an unreached people group! Sometimes the Lord is waiting for one more attempt or one more prayer before He begins to pour out His Spirit. Are you willing to let down the nets one more time?

Pray that missionaries among the unreached peoples will not grow weary, but will persevere.
"And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations." Mk. 13:10
Christians expect Christ, in response to His promise, to return to earth at any time. Yet our verse for today reminds us of the importance God places on obedience to first take the gospel to all people groups. There is a church community in practically every politically-defined country of the world. Praise God! Among these countries, however, are approximately 22,000 nations (people groups) of which about 10,000 still do not have a viable, indigenous, evangelizing Christ-centered movement! These are the world's unreached peoples.

Pray for the Heavenly Father to lead us as we take the gospel to these still unreached nations.

"My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations." Mark. 11:17
Returning to Jerusalem and entering the temple, Jesus began driving out those who were buying and selling there. In an act of righteous judgment, Jesus upset tables and benches and prevented anyone from carrying merchandise through the temple courts. Merchants had been using the fore court (a place set aside as a court of prayer for the Gentiles) for fraudulent activities. Jesus' action restored this court as a place where the Gentiles could worship according to God's original intention (1 Kings 8:43).
Pray that the Lord will open our eyes so that we may see how our ignorance and selfishness might keep other peoples from coming to Him.

"'The time has come,' He said. 'The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!'" Mk. 1:15
Jesus is announcing a new era. He is ushering in the Kingdom of God. Our response should be to repent and believe the good news in such a way that it leads to a new life that will draw others to Him. This is exactly what we are calling the unreached Hindus, Buddhists, animists and Muslims to do. Your prayers are a part of extending His Kingdom. What a joy and a privilege!

Pray for His Kingdom to extend into the hearts of the unreached nations!
"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations." Matt. 28:19, 20
Jesus' words, spoken to His disciples following His resurrection, are the claims and commands of One who had proved His authority on earth-He had healed the sick, forgiven men's sins, and conquered death itself. Who else could He be than Lord over all mankind? Since He is the Lord, is there any other reasonable response than to become His faithful disciples? And if we do respond in faith, we must then call others to become His disciples as well.

Pray that we will recognize and submit to His loving rule by honoring His Name and obeying His command to make disciples of each of the world's unreached peoples.
"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." Matt. 24:14
Jesus pointed to the fact that the gospel will be preached to the whole world as a testimony to all nations. Along with other verses, this one is an indicator that points to the time of His coming at the end of the age. World evangelization surely is the bedrock purpose for which the Lord and His Church are working before He returns. If there was ever a truth to which all mankind will one day be exposed, it is the gospel of the kingdom. Can there possibly be a cause more worthy of our lives?

Pray that the Savior will show us as individuals and as bodies of believers how to participate with Him in the central plan and purpose of history.

"Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field." Matt. 9:38
If you have been using the GPD for any length of time, you will notice that we are constantly praying some variation of this prayer for many of the unreached people groups. By using this daily prayer guide for the nations, you are praying for Him to send out workers. But still, the workers are few. Could it be that He is calling some to the harvest field, and people are either not listening, or unwilling to go?

Pray that those God calls will have receptive hearts to His Kingdom work.

CAN I SHARE MY JOY WITH YOU??! praise & pray for Native Missionaries!

!!! YAAYYY!!!

I received news last week - another of the native missionaries I sponsored after ~ 1 year has become self-supporting! (the 2nd native missionary i've sponsored with Gospel For Asia [see www.gfa.org] who's become self-supporting!! they truly are incredibly effective!

. . . that means over the time i've sponsored them (for little over ~$1/day) my small monthly support for this native missionary has resulted in the gospel being preached in a place where the name of Jesus & His gospel has been waiting for so long to be heard and a community of worshipping believers being established . . . having grown to the stage where it can support him without the need for outside assistance anymore!

i can't think of a better application of Luke 9:6, can you?

"And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves through the wealth of this life, so that when it comes to an end, you may be taken into the eternal resting-places." Luke 16:9

also, I can’t imagine a better investment of my time, money or efforts~! Just my personal opinion. :D

(GFA's policy is 100% of funds goes straight to the field, nothing gets taken out for admin / staff etc!]
* to watch a brilliant video about native missionaries, go to http://www.gfa.org/the-call-to-harvest
* to sponsor your own missionary & invest your short life & wealth for maximum eternal impact, go to www.gfa.org/sponsor

* For a free book that thousands of people have said has changed their lives, click on this link- http://www.blogger.com/www.gfa.org/freebook .. <-- this book REVOLUTIONISED my life too!

pray we'd all follow Fathers' leading in following His Words:

"Give away your life; you'll find life given back, but not merely given back--given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity." -- Luke 6:38 [The message paraphrase]

.. do also pray for these dear native missionaries;

* raise up more of them for the massive harvest among peoples still waiting to hear The Name of Jesus!

* as He answers the prayer above, raise up an even greater army of senders who'll support & back them up with prayer & finances!

* protect & empower them as they labor in lands very hostile to the gospel.

* as His gospel would goes forth to every remaining unreached peoples, The Blessed Day of His return would be hastened on!

When the good news about the kingdom has been preached all over the world and told to all nations, the end will come. Mat 24:14

:D i'm overwhelmed with joy - eternal joy - just thinking about the many friends i'll meet in Heaven because of this wonderful privilege of partnering in the gospel!

. . . joyfully pursuing the dangerous duty of delight :)

praise & pray for Joseph, Brian, Tommy, Lila, Lin, Dan, Carol (Tw, KOR, HK)

- my English corner group yesterday [looked at Jesus the Teacher - 2nd in Jesus series leading to Easter!]

.. was made to feel quite shy (yes, despite my non-stop repitition to them of my motto "don't be shy!") when answering the intro Qn of "who's your favorite teacher" 2 new students i've never had in my group before said i was their favorite teacher! :pPpPpP

why?

. . . . "because he looks so kindly"

. . . . must be my ridiculous cheesy grin actuallybeing of some use! :S

:D PRAISE! :D

:D God brought them here!

*PRAY*

- many of them don't know Jesus or what He taught.

plead for Fathers' mercy on them to give them revelation of His Son!

* use the loneliness & boredom so many of these precious souls go through to drive them to the Very Best Friend anyone can have -- Jesus Christ!!

* bring them to repentance & faith in The Only Saviour before it's too late!

* 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!

* have mercy on them & send them back to '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 :)

~thanks~!GOD WORKS WHEN WE PRAY~!! *** ETERNITY WILL SHOW THE FULL FRUIT OF OUR PRAYERS- BE ENCOURAGED!!***

praise & pray for telemarketers! Angelina & Ricardo

got a few annoying calls from those telemarketers last Friday offering me travel packages i hadn't the least bit of interest in.
but rather than simply brushing them off, i knew Father loved them & wanted so much to bring them to Himself!
Angelina hung around long enough after i told her i wasn't interested in her offer to let me urge her to check out www.fathersloveletter.com (which is translated to many languages which is perfect as most strangers i talk to are from all different parts of the world!
Ricardo wasn't so patient & hung up immediately :S Father knows him & loves him too -- do pray for him!
something i'm making more of a habit of doing with these "annoyance calls" is learn to see them as so much more than just a time-wasting annoyance, but as a precious soul, made & loved by Father who He wants to bring to Himself!
just doing my little bit to bring even one lost soul a step closer to The Savior :)
:D PRAISE :D
:D the ways He's used the internet to communicate His gospel to the lost!
*PRAY*
* Angelina & Ricardo be drawn [deeper] into Fathers' love & this would be highly contagious to all around them !!
why not share this (or your own favorite evangelistic website) with those strangers Father brings you into contact with? on the internet / phone etc?!
to Him be all glory who seeks & saves the lost!
The Lord isn't slow to do what he promised, as some people think. Rather, he is patient for your sake. He doesn't want to destroy anyone but wants all people to have an opportunity to turn to him and change the way they think and act. 2 Peter 3:9
also pray for Mike & Roy who i spoke to today fom optus to request a bill extension & referred them to that same site.
:)

*every* sould Father brings our way is truly very precious!

pray for the unreached!!

"'I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.'" Matt. 8:10
Who had such great faith? A Roman (Gentile) centurion. How ironic was Jesus' discovery! One outside the Jewish nation, and isolated from the revelation Israel had received, had greater faith than those inside Israel. What made the difference? Many of the Jews were taking for granted God's Word to them. Though we today have access to the Bible in dozens of versions and a Christian message with the switch of a dial on radio or TV, these privileges are no assurance that Jesus is going to find faith among us. In fact, not only faith, but even the awareness of the purposes of God for the nations can disappear from our minds when we fail to obey what God commands.

Pray that the Father will teach us to obey!

"And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham." Matt. 3:9
John the Baptist was not the kind of man who minced words. After calling the crowd a "brood of vipers" (3:7), he went on to harshly scold them for thinking that their Jewish heritage was the source of their relationship with God. Isn't it easy to fall into the same trap today? We can proudly say to ourselves that our congregation or denomination has done such and such, forgetting that God will call each of us to give an account. No excuse will be accepted!

Pray for a renewed willingness to obey the Great Commission.
"This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'These people say, 'The time has not yet come for the Lord's house to be built.''" Haggai 1:2
A small company of Jews had returned to Judah from exile in Babylon. Initial efforts to rebuild the temple were frustrated by opposition from surrounding peoples. The people of God became too discouraged to do anything but just rebuild their homes. Haggai's message was, "God will honor us only if we put His concerns first!" What about your church? Is it putting God's kingdom first? What about its vision for the world? Does God want to use us the way He used Haggai to rebuild a mission vision long neglected?

Pray that the Lord will give us the courage, vision, and wisdom to be like Haggai, that we may call the Church to rebuild that vision which we have neglected for too long.

:D the gift of good books! latest one i'm onto "Authentic Relationships - Discover the Lost Art of One Anothering" see - http://www.ourchurchbookstore.com.au/showProduct.aspx?id=140240

i was really inspired after an International Student fellowship meeting reflecting on Job & Jesus to really hunger after the depth of relationship with Father they had which could still stand strong through incredibly fierce storms!

i'm learning . . . i'll just put them what i'm learning as prayer points because i'm terrible at getting head knowlege and just keeping it there , whilst not letting what my brain has absorbed affect the way i think / live! i need help!! and lots of it! would you please pray for me?

* His love would so fill me so i'm certain of His care for every detail of life, knowing He'll provide all i need when i need it, to be freed to live a life of love to those He puts before me!

* i'd live not to get love for myself but to learn to share His love with others!

* i'd want nothing more than to follow Father's voice in loving people He puts around me the way He wants me to love them!

Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand--shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven. Mat 5:16 [MSG] - pray for grace to LIVE THIS!
* i'd not be consumed with "religious substitutes" but just to be CONSUMED WITH JESUS!
* i'd be lost in the wonder of Jesus Christ!
* i'd be weaned from myself & my constant self-precoccupation, so Galatians 2:20 is my life-verse!
"I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me."
* i'd not engage people for what i can get out of them but for what i can give them of God's life. never focussing on myself, just touching others from the deepest treasures of God's love!

* i'd grow so much in love with Jesus & in relationship with Him that He frees me from all that enslaves me to sin/ self / other things!
* my flesh would be starved of the sinful pleasures it feasts on that promote pride!
* He'd keep me genuinely humble before Him!
* He'd identify where boasting, blaming, gossip, self-pity, and worrying about what others think are cause me to live in shame instead of living in Him & show me all the places where covering up for shame hurts my relationships with others.
* He'd draw me so close to Himself so i'll no longer need to live in bondage to shame!!
* i'd be more confident in Father's ability to lead me than in satan's ability to deceive me!
* Wherever i'm lacking love toward others, He'd take me to deeper levels of His love & show me where i have expectations of others that prevent me from loving them freely and let Him set me free!
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!!

praise & pray 4 for E.C.C. [English Conversation Class]!!

Here we go for another amazing year of teaching English through the bible - what a privilege it is to share God's words with people He brings to our lessons!
:D PRAISE :D
:D bringing the mission field to our doorstep, with souls ripe for harvest & open to learning!
:D the privilege it is to use English to win fiends who'll welcome you into eternal dwellings!
:D Jesus' pomise in John 12:32 "And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."
:D He does all He said He would do!
*PRAY*

"What a huge harvest!" he said to his disciples. "How few workers!
On your knees and pray for harvest hands!" Matt 9:37-38
* raise up more laborers for this ripe, ripe, RIPE HARVEST FIELD!!
* i'll be leading a team to go into uni during their orientation week next week to make contacts, invite to our classes & welcoming BBQ! pray for His enabling as i've never been a good leader :

* bring those of His choosing to the various church-run free English Conversation Classes
* work in the hearts of all who come until they bow the knee & confess Jesus as Lord THIS SIDE OF ETERNITY!!
* Divine Appointments with lost souls to really build relationships that will impact eternities!
* help us to lift Jesus up before these precious souls who come to E.C.C, that He would draw all people to Himself!
* empower us by His Spirit work through us to faithfully point lost souls to The Only Saviour!
* these precious souls would receive Revelation of Christ & be drawn to know Him as Saviour & Lord!

pray for the unreached!!

"'You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your sins.'" Amos 3:2
Because Israel was entrusted with great blessings, her mandate was equally great: to bless all the families of the earth. When the chosen nation rebelled in selfishness and idolatry, her punishment was correspondingly severe. But is it not the same for us? Jesus declared, "From everyone who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked" (Luke 12:48). We who know Jesus Christ and who have the means to take the blessings of the gospel to the ends of the earth are obligated by our opportunities to do so.

Thank our Gracious God for our blessings, and acknowledge the responsibility they place upon us. Pray that He will keep us from the sins of selfishness and self-indulgence.
"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision." Joel 3:14
Joel's prophecy foresaw that God would summon the nations to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, there pronouncing judgment on the wicked but declaring refuge for His people. As the prophet looked out over the sea of humanity in the valley, he was vividly aware that the great and terrible day of judgment was imminent. This prophecy was a picture of today's world, in which vast multitudes hang in the balance of decision. Will we give each human society the valid opportunity to decide to follow Jesus? Will we offer the refuge of salvation to the nations on whom the living God will pronounce judgment so as to save them from it?

Pray that God will raise up messengers from His Church and thrust them out into the unreached harvest field.

"As I looked, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took His seat. The court was seated, and the books were opened." Dan.7:9, 10
Daniel was given a glimpse of the end times, and in particular, as seen in these verses, of the Great White Throne judgment seat. (See also Revelation 20:11-15.) The dead will then stand before the Father's throne and be judged according to what they have done. What an awesome vision for Daniel to behold! As he continued to watch, the Son of Man was led into the Father's presence and "was given authority, glory, and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him" (7:14). How glorious and how comforting! God has not given us an impossible commission. It will be accomplished as we yield ourselves to Him.

Thank the Lord for this glimpse of the future. Pray that He will hasten the day when through us, some from every nation will sing His praises.

praise & pray for Sibhan

- i've been having problems with my go card [the new system doesnt like me?! or i don't know how to use it properly :P

i'm so sick of being ripped off by technology, so i called Translink to hopefully resolve the problem.

i talked to Sibhan who filled out a file & God willing i'll get a refund. [thank God i did last time this happened too!]
i should do this more with strangers i talk to on the phone -- at the end of most customer service calls they ask "is there anything else i could do for you today?" i tell them that i have an important message to share with them & tell them to check out this web page SOON www.fathersloveletter.com/which is translated to many languages which is perfect as most strangers i talk to are from all different parts of the world!
:D the ways He's used the internet to communicate His gospel to the lost!
* Sibhan souls be drawn [deeper] into Fathers' love & this would be highly contagious to all around her!!
why not share this (or your own favorite evangelistic website) with those strangers Father brings you into contact with? on the internet / phone etc?!

to Him be all glory who seeks & saves the lost!

The Lord isn't slow to do what he promised, as some people think. Rather, he is patient for your sake. He doesn't want to destroy anyone but wants all people to have an opportunity to turn to him and change the way they think and act. 2 Peter 3:9

praise & pray for Brian, Ian, Yoshi, Victor, Jeff [TAI, JAP, KOR, FRA]

:D the joyous privilege it is to journey with Him & share part of this journey with others & rejoice with them at what He's doing in heir lives!
- i can really see Father answering prayers in Paulines' life -- i posted about her before - now she's longing to "know God deeply" & looking at getting baptised!

:D God brought them here!
:D because of all Jesus has done for us, the Greatest Tragedy of all [eternal suffering & separation from Father!] need NOT happen to us!
*PRAY*
* use the tragedies so many of these precious souls go through to drive them to The Only Savior-- Jesus Christ!!
* bring them to repentance & faith in The Only Saviour before it's too late!
* 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!
* have mercy on them & send them back to '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 :)

praise & pray for Cheryl & Vinit (PHLP, IND)

- i didn't recharge my optus prepaid mobile before it expired so i lost all my credit / bonus free time & as a loyal customer i thought maybe i might be able to get some back ^__^

hey, . . . no harm in asking, right?
so i called optus customer care & talked to Cheryl then Vinit who told me i could get my credit / most of my bonus free time back as a courtesy :) praise God for favor with them!

i should do this more with strangers i talk to on the phone -- at the end of most customer service calls they ask "is there anything else i could do for you today?" i tell them that i have an important message to share with them & tell them to check out this web page when they have time (i should leave out that last bit & be more urgent about it!) - www.fathersloveletter.com which is translated to many languages which is perfect as most strangers i talk to are from all different parts of the world!

:D the ways He's used the internet to communicate His gosopel to the lost!

* Cheryl & Vinit's souls be drawn [deeper] into Fathers' love & this would be highly contagious to all around them!!

why not share this (or your own favorite evangelistic website) with those strangers Father brings you into contact with? on the internet / phone etc?!

The Lord isn't slow to do what he promised, as some people think. Rather, he is patient for your sake. He doesn't want to destroy anyone but wants all people to have an opportunity to turn to him and change the way they think and act. 2 Peter 3:9

pray for the unreached!!

"So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian." Dan. 6:28
Scholars have estimated that Daniel was about 90 years old-toward the end of his lifetime of civil service to successful regimes-when he experienced God's miraculous protection in the lion's den. God honored Daniel's faith and obedience and used him to bless Babylonians, Chaldeans, Medes, and Persians. We may confidently expect to enjoy fellowship together around the throne of God with members of each of these ancient peoples! Daniel was faithful to his mission. Will Daniel be able to enjoy fellowship at that same gathering with representatives of other people groups because we too have been faithful to the task to which the Lord calls us?

Pray that God will give us the perseverance to serve well like Daniel of old.

"'This is what you are commanded to do…you must fall down and worship the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.'" Dan. 3:4-5
Throughout history, many pretenders have contended for the allegiance of men's hearts. Nebuchadnezzar sought to command worship of his gods and his glory, but Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to join the crowds in such idolatry. Likewise today the people of God are called to prophetically denounce idolatry in its many forms and point the nations to the one true God. Yahweh will not share His glory with another, and He longs for the people of the earth to turn from false gods.

Pray that God will break our hearts with the tragedy of a world bound by the futile worship of idols. He alone is God!

"In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever." Dan. 2:44
What a note of assurance, of triumph, of victory! God's unchangeable kingdom will last forever. These words of certain victory should encourage and strengthen us in the task of world evangelization. We do not yet see the Kingdom in its glory and power, but the Kingdom is here. It is among us. It is growing, pulsating with power as God calls and fills his people with the power of His Spirit. It is growing as God thrusts his people into a worldwide harvest, calling those from every nation to share in the glory of eternal fellowship with the Heavenly King.

Pray that the King of Kings and Lord of Lords will strengthen our hands, quicken our minds, and encourage our hearts with a vision of His victorious Kingdom.

- those i met through conversation corner yesterday:D PRAISE! :D

:D God brought them here!

pray for the unreached!!

"In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it." Dan. 1:1
Dr. Ralph Winter has observed that throughout history when the people of God have failed to share the gospel with the peoples around them, He has often brought the peoples to the gospel-sometimes even with great force. Israel's idolatry and selfish failure to take the good news to their neighbors led to the siege of Jerusalem. Today's church has failed to take the gospel to all the peoples of the world, and so God has brought the peoples to the church's shores, most often not as military conquerors but as refugees, students, and businessmen. Are we willing to share with them our spiritual and material abundance?

Pray that the Holy Spirit will help us to respond to wonderful opportunities for ministry to "newcomers" in our own communities.

"…'I will overthrow what I have built and uproot what I have planted… Should you then seek great things for yourself? Seek them not.'" Jer. 45:4, 5
God admonishes us, as He did Jeremiah's scribe Baruch, to abandon a selfish ambition, which is not only futile but is also irrelevant. Most people spend their lives pursuing either things or accomplishments. It is nothing less than tragic when believers chase personal aspirations to the ignorance or neglect of the clearly-revealed purposes of God. In light of what God is doing and wants to do among the nations, can we possibly justify seeking great things for ourselves? "Seek them not."

Pray to yield your aspirations, ambitions and dreams to His perfect will.

please rejoice with me & pray for me~!!

look at the moon . . . I wanna be just like that ^__^
(that is, brightly shining a glory not my own, just simply faithfully reflecting His glorious light to all =)
-- i'm not an awfully faithfully bright reflector tho :"(
i'm ever thankful to Father for putting you into my life :D.. 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~!
i'm totally enjoying the fullness of life that is found in living in His love & sharing (well, trying to share!) His love!
for some funny reason i've noticed myself being around girls alot more than usual lately.
not intentional at all, just an observation :P
and yes i'm still totally contented in being single in Christ & determined, God willing to stay that way!:)
-- faithfulness to Christ defines the value of life; all other relationships get their final significance from this. No family relationship is ultimate; relationship to Christ is.
-- John Piper
precious brothers & sisters, do rejoice with me!!
:D He loves me! absolutely! and He wants to share my life!
:D He's growing me to be increasingly certain that His love for me isn't connected to my performance! (because it's always far far short of His perfection!)
:D He's releasing me from the burden of doing things for Him & transitioning me to doing things with Him!
:D Father had never kept score of my performance because He wanted nothing more than to culti­vate a relationship with me. He's done that, not by throwing my scorecard away, but by completely filling it out Himself in Jesus!!
:D God’s not counting anymore, and that means I don’t have to either!
*PRAY*
* i'd not be busy about "many things" but just be consumed with the only one who's necessary - Christ!
* i'd be secure in His love so the root of sin be destroyed & know how to live as His free child on earth!
* i'd stop blocking His Word from going from conscious thought --> conscious ACTION!
* i'd simply receive what He's given me already and Stop doing anything that seeks to earn His love and learn to do what i do simply because i already have His love! (BIG DIFFERENCE!)
* i'd stop listening to the lies that make it difficult for me to accept His love for me!
* He'd show me how to get past them!!
* He'd keep teaching me how to live loved every day & learn to recognize His voice in my ear and His hand in my life, and so want to be even more like him!
* I'd "labor according to His mighty power which works in me" (Colossian 1:29).
* show me any ways that i put my own righteousness before relationship with Him, thinking that my performance makes me more acceptable to Him & teach me what it means to trust Him in every detail of life!
* help me follow Jesus' style of evangelism - always being available, showing no favoritism, (especially to pretty girls / over those i might find it hard to get along / communicate with!), sensitive to the needs of those around me, loving those i witness to, and always having time to speak to others!

pray for the unreached!!

"If you put your detestable idols out of my sight … and if in a truthful, just and righteous way you swear, 'as surely as the Lord lives,' then the nations will be blessed by Him…" Jer. 4:2b
The Lord will act to bless the nations, but we also have a responsibility. We must put away our idols of selfishness, greed, and whatever else might be a hindrance. Are we willing to do that so the nations will be blessed? Are we willing to do what it takes to be good ambassadors of the One who calls us to the nations?

Pray that the Holy Spirit will point out our idols so that we can toss them aside and watch the nations be blessed!

"Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom." Is. 40: 28
Imagine the excitement of those who hear of their Creator for the first time. His power resulted in the Universe being created out of nothing. No god can boast of such a thing! And there's more: "His understanding no one can fathom." By giving allegiance to this Creator, people are joining with the One whose understanding is far beyond anything mankind can imagine. What a hope! What a privilege!

Pray that when the unreached hear of the One who created them, that they will marvel in such a way that it will be impossible to not worship Him.

"If you spend yourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday." Is. 58:10
There is significant overlap between the "unreached people groups" without a church in their midst and the "hungry half" of the world without adequate physical and material resources. Isaiah reminds us that the people of God are called not only to spend their money to feed the hungry, but also to spend themselves, to pour out their lives in sacrificial service. That service cannot be a mere token. It must "satisfy the needs" of the oppressed. Isaiah also points out that those who serve receive the fruits of service: healing, answered prayer, guidance, personal provision, and joy.

Pray that our Gracious Father will teach us to "spend ourselves" on behalf of those who are desperately hungry both for bread and the Bread of Life.

pray for Danny (AUS)

it's uncanny, the way i seem to attract strangers asking for money. this was only one of many such incidents i've encountered . . .

- was on the way to meeting Hee Jeong & came across Danny - i felt the need to resist being purely cynical & suspicious, as i usually would be about strangers asking me for money ..

we talked a little & i ended up praying with him & passed him a BIG MONEY TRACT. :)

pray for Father to have mercy on Him & reveal Himself to Danny & his family!

- should i stop being generous to strangers asking for money? share your widom/ advice! experience! leave a comment!
