rediscovering eden
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am Yours
who we are
Most happening...

Pastor Russell Evans - Releasing faith through words. 9th September 2007.
Genesis 1:5-26 - "God said" God says, God releases faith through words.
Everything that has been established is by our
words, even salvation (Romans 10:9). Thus we should always make "our words HIS WORDS"
1) Words Create -> With your mouth confess him into your life, by declaring it by your words.
"Russel your a champ, his words create who I am, in me, he build a desire to touch God. Let your words declare what God says about what he wants to do in you.
2) Words build up or pull Down -> Declare words of hope and not hopelessness. Speak hope into hopelessness. The very thing God calls you to be, the devil tries to pull it down. Live in the position of blessing by your words. Words build you up.
3) Decide which words you
listen to. Live a life built up on the inside. Word of God builds.
Proverbs 18:21 - Death & Life of the power of the tongue. Those that love it will eat its fruit.
Job 27:4, Psalms 34:30, Psalms 37:4, Psalms 45:1, Proverbs 6:16, Proverbs 10, Proverbs 12:7, Proverbs 15.
The Tongue has POWER.
4) Our words represent what our thoughts & dreams are. Declare the favour, peace,
release your faith through your words.
5) Our words come from the heart. Speak words filled with heavenly words.
Luke 6:34 - The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his
heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his
heart. For out of the overflow of his
heart his mouth
speaks.
6) Words create atmospheres. Get filled with God, let your words declare heaven. Your brings atmospheres. Throw out word of hate from your life. Get in the words of God. Out of your heart, create atmospeheres of life and not death.
"Angry words create awkward atmospheres"
7) Words create positive or negativity.
Revelations 12:11 -
11They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony;
Testimony means marturia or "Do it again". Everytime we have a testimony we are "Doing it again".
Let us be people who constantly talk about what God is "Doing again" in our life. Look every moment to be a testimony. By the time we get into prayer we go "Amen!"
8) Gods words bring destiny into reality.
Jeremiah 1:5 -
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew
[a] you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
9) Speak words of Love & Blessings.

The other night, when I had TWO MOTHS take over my room and left me sleeping in the living room for the night, I asked God why He made moths.
No offence, but they're icky!
Yuck man!!! saving that picture off the net already gives me goosebumps!
I feel like swatting my computer screen....*sorry God
but know what's cool about them?
Moths are attracted to Light
Know whats Not so cool about them?
They don't fly directly to the light. They CIRCLE around the light source.
Imagine if You see Jesus, you run towards His direction, and then just go around and around and aorund and around and around and around Him...when His hands are outstretched wanting you to come DIRECTLY to Him.
Rarrr silly silly moths.
Don't folllow the moths.
Let us instead follow the pretttyy flooweers =)
How they FEED on the light of the world.
How they are ALWAYS looking at the source of light.
How they die =( without the light.
We're already so much like them.
The leaves that get more sunlight are greener, and brighter.
People who get the touch of God are happier and radiant-er too!!
But the thing about trees is that, Some part of a tree Always gets less sunlight.
But there's so Much God to go around, Nobody has to be malnutritioned!
It all comes down to making that decision to reach out for Him.
SO....what will it be?
Moth or Flower?
Love,
B

Hey you all my loves,
This week's Urban Life is at the same venue, but on WEDNESDAY instead. Remember, it is NOT Thursday. It is 7.30pm at Derek's place, which is Unit 409 at Concept Blue Apartments, corner of La Trobe and Russell Street in the city.
Wanna stir you guys to think of that one person that you wanna call. We are believing in another multiplication by the end of this year! It can definitely happen if all of us believe in that relevation and take the extra step. We should step out of our comfort zones, always reminded by Pastor Matt. :)
Come on guys! We can all do it!
Anyway we are having proper dinner for everyone this Urban Life. We girls are gonna cook dishes with rice for you guys :) We are hoping that it will be something special for each of us.
And one more thing, wanna encourage each and every one of you to attend True Relationships this Thursday night evening (that is why our Urban Life shifted to Wednesday just this week). I am sure we will be able to listen about what God has in store for us in the area of relationships in our life!
Relationships - with God, with parents, siblings, cousins, friends, unsaved friends, boyfriend/girlfriend and even to your dog (quoted from our boss hahahaha). All the different relationships, we need to understand and learn to handle them all in Godly ways!
SO, COME OKAY? Just $20. Starts at 7.30pm at Dallas Brooks. I am going anyway :)
Love you all to bits,
Ai Ling. :)

At the beginning of the year, or rather, at the beginning of the new Thursday UL, Daniel had us write what we wanted to achieve by end of the year, both for UL and for ourselves.
What I had written for UL was to see my friend back there with us, and she came along to UL the week after that, although at this moment she's not a regular member of UL. But the fact that she hasn't completely blocked Him out of her life, and that she still depends on Him to some extent, really boosts my hope. I know that He is still working on her.
For the other part of the so called 'assignment', I wrote that by end of the year, I want to no longer have that doubt that I was meant to be studying architecture.
Today, the 31st of August 2oo7, I receive revelation!
I think of architecture now, and that fear is gone. In its place is excitement, wonder and the 'can't wait' feeling (I can't think of a single word for that!! Rarr!).
I can't wait to see how God will use me!
In all things big or small, I know that He will provide a path for me because it is His will that I am doing this course. He's already been guiding me all along, but i've just been too blind to see.
The world has that effect on us.
I hope that each of us will learn to see past this wall that the world has created in front of us. There's so much more to life than just going to Uni and getting good grades. We're on a mission trip here on earth to carry out His will although a lot of the times, we get so easily distracted.
Anyway. I'm just here to remind you about that 'so called assignment'... =D
Push through and see it happen!
Love lots,
Bea
