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...

Hi Guys, we are amidst study-period and some already are about to start their exams (like me next week).So before you start panicking, just want to encourage you guys with the word of God.Phillipians 4:6 - Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.Don't panic, don't be anxious, don't worry. But in everything, by prayer and petition with THANKSGIVING! Come to God not with a negative attitude that there is no hope and you'll be lucky if you just scrape through, but with a Faith believing in the best, that the wisdom and understanding of Christ will be in you, upon your heart, and upon your mind to do above and beyond in your exams.God bless! Okay, back to studies for me. :P-=John Wee=-

Just another quick word.
I want to share this word that God dropped into my heart ahwile ago.
Do you remember what an antenna is?
Long long ago, in prehistoric times there used to be this thing called handphone-with-retrabtable-antennas.
Remember those?
Did you realise how similar we function?
When we don't extend our antennas, we'll only be picking up signals form people here and people there and then, there's the devil too.
This is when and why things start getting fuzzy and unclear,
everything just seems to be going the wrong way!
We musn't forget, that we have this thing sticking out of our heads that can be extended to push far beyond this earth and into heaven, where we will be picking up DIRECT signals from God Himself!
This is when and why things will start falling into place before you.
When you find that you're under so much pressure, and you really need to swim to the surface to breatthee....remember, that you've got this handy thing that is so easily accesssible, the devil just keeps trying to retract it.
So yea,
Just a friendly reminder to extend your antennas and pick up the right signals.
Love,
B

Heya,
I just have a scenario for you. =)
Lets say you were out in the supermarket or shopping mall or somewhere...and behind you, you hear a group of friends, whom you recognize to be your classmates. They don't realise you're there, and coincidentally, they're talking about you.
You hear this friend go
"Hey do you know that girl/boy (referring to you
)?..Oh my gosh do you know what a Holy freak he/she is? Goes to chuch Every single week! Doesn't club, doesn't do Anything fun!"How would you feel?
Would you feel embarassed - being nicknamed the Holy freak?
or Glad?
Peace out.,

God blesses you who are hated and excluded and mocked and cursed

yO yO yO,
Okay if you havent watched evan almighty and want to watch it and a spoiler would totally ruin everything, don't read the following post =)
Today I got the chance to sit down and watch Evan Almighty.
It's a pretty good movie i thought, especially with the way it made me consider some issues.
There was a scene where Evan first sees 'God' and goes, "Do i know you?"
God says, "
Not as well as I hope"
Wow, when He said that, it totally blew my mind away.
First thought was, my gosh, will God say that to me?
Have I done enough for Him?
Would I build Him an ark?
Even if He sent all the materials and all I needed to build it, to my doorstep?
If God wrote me a letter to respond to that question, i think this is what He would say.
I'm not asking you to build me an ark,
I'm asking you to tell the world that I am God, that I can give them what they always seem to be searching for - real life.
All the materials you could possibly need will be sent to you.
Find enclosed in your spirit, My spirit.
I will guide you every single step of the way.
But now let me ask you, Will you do it?Its really mind boggling how easily we fall back to the patterns of the world.
*I hear a round of 'yea's
Hahah i hate to be the spoiler for all those who havent watched the movie, but You'll still enjoy it after reading this I'm sure. =)
There was a scene, where Evan's wife gets edgy about the whole God-told-me-to-build-an-ark thing and says, This has Got to stop. It's ruining our lives.
Doesn't that remind you so much of us?
How sometimes when we stand up to do something for God, somebody comes along and tells you to stop, its going to ruin your life.
But Evan didn't stop, even when his family left him, he didnt stop.
He built the ark, and when eventually the flood came - on a SUN SHINY day I might add, everybody was saved.
See what obedience brings us?
It may ruin the life you Think you had, but you have No idea what He has prepared for you after that.
I know how easy it is to say, Yes I will do what You ask, send me and I will go
but when it comes to actually standing up for Christ....
Will you be the one to stand when everyone else refuses to?
Have a think about it.
Love you to bits,
Bea

i believe everyone got lotsa loving to do... so i'll start by this simple gesture...
LOVE you guys... all of you...
thanks for the jokes, the yummy dinners in UL and out of UL, the car ride, the patience, the putting up to the many many lame jokes i'm going to put all you guys through etc...
have a great and blessed week... and see u guys at church... =)
'Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails....... And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.' 1 Corinthians 13:4-13
and lemme emphasize on this part again... hehe.. just for effect plus it is important... 'THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE'... Loving God loving people...

"Glory to God in the highest
Power and strength to Your name
Heaven and Earth will proclaim You Lord of all
Blessed be Your name
Jesus.."
I'm just amazed by Him more and more each day and it's just so important to spend time with Him. Quiet time is crucial you guys! DO IT. Why? Because:
1) We are created to have intimacy with Him. That's the number one reason He created us!
.:. Draw near to Me, and I will draw near to you .:.
2) When we seek Him in that secret place, He reveals His glory and His innermost desires for
our lives.
.:. Throughout the Bible, men&women of God always spend their lone time with God, be it on the
mountains or in the desert. And what is the outcome? Take Moses&Jesus. They descend from the
mountains so immersed in His presence&glory that even the disciples can't recognise their faces! Let's
imitate them, catch hold of that spirit they have..the desire to have intimacy with the One who SO loves
us :] Let's hold on to this revelation of the purpose of what we were created for.
3) The breakthroughs in your life is a function of your quiet-time consistency.
.:. Which is why prayer meets are so important. The reason why we have prayer meets is not just
something we want to fill your schedules in, to make everyone look more "holy" for the week. Prayer
meets are like the check-out points of the things we've been praying for throughout our personal quiet
time.
To further explain, when we do our quiet time, it's like you going to safeway, each aisle represents each
day. Each item from each aisle represents the various prayer points you've made per day. And you
accumulate til your basket is full then you check-out at the counter. That's when we have prayer meets.
It's the counter.
That's where we get all those miracles and breakthroughs. Yes, in safeway we pay and then it's ours.
But remember Jesus has already paid the price! So when we are diligent in our quiet times, and take
initiative to go to prayer meets, that's when the prayer is answered, the breakthroughs come, that's when
you see lives changed, souls restored and hearts set free!
Some of us are too caught up browsing at unnecessary things
that we don't need til we don't leave the place..we waste the time,we get tempted at say,the junk food
section. That is why when we pray for the things we want but not what He wants, but we still persist, the
Bible says God actually gives it to us out of our selfish desires. It satisfies temporarily but in the long run,
it damages us. Exactly like junk food. It's bad for our body. Then we put the blame on safeway for selling
all these junkfood with super discounted prices. How many times have we put the blame on God when
we've been persistent in the things that are bad for us in His eyes? But He gives it to us because He knows
it'll bring you back to your senses even though it may take awhile, depending on how teachable your
heart is!
So come on brothers and sisters in Christ! Press forward and step into that secret place because you know that all's been said above is the reality which is a reflection of the supernatural! Love you all heaps! *hugs*
-Onething.
