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!

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

:D PRAISE :D


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

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


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


*PRAY*


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


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

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

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

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

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

- oh, my sleep lately has left much to be desired - yawning even more than i usually do [!!] :O~thanks~! GOD WORKS WHEN WE PRAY~!!*** ETERNITY WILL SHOW THE FULL FRUIT OF OUR PRAYERS***

WHAT A JOY!! to break my gospel-sharing 'drought' !!
* bring her to turn from herself & trust in Jesus before it's too late!!

rejoice with me & pray for me~!!

I was encouraged by this personal covenant of Thomas Boston:

checkitout here:

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

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


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


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

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

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

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


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

:D rejoice with me! :D

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

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

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

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

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


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

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


*PRAY*


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


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


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

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


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


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


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

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

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

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

The one concern of the devil


is to keep Christians from praying.

He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayerless


religion.


He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.

We have to stop looking at prayer


as the spare tire in the trunk


and start seeing it as the steering wheel.

pray for Akil [PKST]

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


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

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

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

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

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

My dear precious siblings in Jesus:



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


Snippets of what Father’s teaching me lately:

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





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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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


:D rejoice with me! :D


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


:D continuously amazing me by His incredible grace~!

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

*PRAY*


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


Carried To The Table - Leeland

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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


I’m healed and unashamed (Chorus)




You carried me, my God You carried me


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

my dear precious siblings in Jesus:

 “Christianity is about relationship, not religion”

-- despite my frequent proclamations of this truth, I’m realising more & more just how much I suck at relationships =(

[or maybe, as usual, I’m over-focused on a few rotting relationships in my life more than I’m thankful for the many good ones Fathers’ given!

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

++ praise & prayer points from previous prayer posts mostly still apply, but for the sake of space I'll leave them out ;)  

Other snippets of what Father’s teaching me lately:

+ my annoyances at others are, more often than not, reflections / projections of my on deep faults! :S

+ Satan would love for us to live in the past or in the future; to do anything but serve the Lord with all we have right now!

+ It’s all bad once I start to doubt Fathers’ goodness!

:D rejoice with me! :D

:D a beautiful ‘God moment’ He showed me in Sydney – when He looks at my past – what does He see? Insofar as the sins & scars I keep remembering, it’s all forgotten!! Gone!!!

(Psalms 103:11,12, Jer 31:34D, Jer 38:17, Isaiah 1:18, 43:25, Micah 7:18-19)

. . . now the challenge is to live in this reality! No longer to live chained to a shameful guilt-ridden past, but to enter into His glorious freedom in the wide open spaces of His grace!

(at this point I feel like breaking out into song:

“my sin, O the bliss of this glorious thought! My sin, not in part, but the whole! Was nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more!

Praise the Lord! Praise The Lord, O my soul!!

It is well, with my soul, It is well, It is well, with my soul!!!”

:D my past is deleted!! XD

*PRAY*

* He’d take away my stubbornness and make me eager to be completely

faithful to Him, wanting to obey all His laws and teachings (Ezekiel 11:19,20)

* He’d take away my stubborn heart, giving me a new heart and a desire to be

Faithful, having only pure thoughts, … (Ezekiel 36:26,27)

* help me live in the reality of Not being chained to a shameful guilt-ridden past, but fully entering into His glorious freedom in the wide open spaces of His grace!

* I’d encounter the Risen Lord Jesus in ways that would leave me forever changed – eg Paul and the disciples.

* I’d trust Him in deeper ways so i can give up my self protectinve behaviours and trust in Him instead!

* provide suitable accommodation for when I next go to Sydney in mid-April-early May!

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

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

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 tire in the trunk

and start seeing it as the steering wheel.
