Boundary Buster Time?

Hi Everyone(oops jus forgot how to spell every! think smsed too much)

Actually I wanted to upload a song for you all which is called 'Praise the Lord, O my soul' but dont know how to. Anyway the song comes from the encouraging verses of Psalm103:2-5...
"Praise the Lord, O my soul
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your sins,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
And crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies
He satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's."

When I didn't feel excited about reading the Bible today, I sang this song hehe and I was encouraged to do it!



Moving on, please do read this Bible passage 1Peter2:9:
"But you are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood,
a holy nation,
His own special people
that you may proclaim the praises of Him
who called you out of the darkness
into His marvelous light."

Do you perhaps feel a little 'out' when you read it? Like, the Bible's talking about us in a very high manner. very esteemed or something..? I did feel this way when I read it. But the truth is, I am! We are! and we just have to believe. God just wants us to believe, no need to understand the techniques or the 'how'.
Sooo, why dont you try saying it out but replacing 'you' with 'I'?

We are so special and great in the eyes of God. We are His prince and princesses and we are His heirs. Because we are great, we are made for greatness too. Great people do great things.. thats why all of us, not only preachers, are called to God's great commission. To make disciples of all nations. Doesnt it all tally? we are priviledged people. and we are also expected to do great things for God.

P.s. guys what kind of year do you think God has in store for you in 2011? Through the Bible study, the Trinitarian magazine, and everything...is it maybe a Boundary Buster Time for me? Is it a time to venture into the unknown and see God's exceeding power for us? Is it?

Candidate for Transformed Life!

Hi I dont know who reads this, except my meimei haha. But just wanna type dwn what I feel.

I just came out from my Church youth camp and I wanna experience a transformed life! My commitment is that I really wanna read God's word every single day from today onwards and the whole of 2011 as well! And just seek God..

Today I woke up feeling normal but then thank God for the Holy Spirit(John 14:26 says But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.) who reminded me and gave me an opportunity to be at home alone and do my TAWG first thing in the morning. I'm currently doing a Bible study which looks at Jabez's prayer in the Bible and I learnt that God promises us results when we ask, seek and knock as long as we are asking with correct motives and in His will. We also need to pray for all men as the Bible says. Thank God for pouring more faith in me that He'll answer and hear us when we just ask. :)

(Evaluating)
Today I spent more time doing God's work and I feel more fruitful:) I dont feel worry in my heart like I sometimes do when I waste my whole day. Hmm I was also tested in my temper today. Although I won't say that I didnt get irritated, thank you God that You still spoke to me in my anger. To recognise and believe once more that we're not in our right mind when we're angry. And to control our anger until it slowly fades away.. Thank you God.

During the camp I had a thought that I gotta stop doubting God. Like, just stop. Just stop. Okay God. I will. Your grace is sufficient for me. I like You to work in me. Although yes sometimes it seems like the seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake, You are the one that can satisfy my soul alone. I pray that we will exercise self-control in partnership with the Holy Spirit. Cos when something is master over you, then Jesus is not Lord in that area.

Unless He is Lord of all, He's not Lord at all...
