"If you want to receive God's miracles through His word, and want to keep the miracle, you need to be ruled by God's word. Make God's word the standard in your life. Are you ready?"
"What is your situation? It may be God's way to preserve you for the next position He is leading you to."
"Men tends to shift the blame on others and/or circumstances beyond their control. Eg. Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the serpent. 'Conscious sinners' blame others for their cirumstances. Do not be too quick to blame others or find solution in men of God, but to find the cause of the problem, else the healing may not last."
"Sometimes God uses foolish thngs in life, even disappointments, rejections etc, to reveal his purposes in your life."
"Those who are unable to see beyond their immediate situation will murmur and despair. If you are in a hurry, you will waste the opportunity to see what God is doing. The principle of life is that nothing happens for nothing or by chance."
"We should be happy that our names are written in the book of life, rather than rejoicing that the evil spirits submit to us."
"Pray that our faith do not fail..."

What Season are you in?
[Did you notice, in every season, David is challenged through various tests from God. Ouch! God! I want growth! No pain no growth?? Erm... Can we negotiate? :p Gee...ok... Your will, not mine be done.]
KING DAVID’S FIVE PROPHETIC SEASONS
A. David’s life had five prophetic seasons that are easy to define. In each season, David had a specific city and a specific lesson associated with it. The cities are: 1. Bethlehem; 2. Gibeah; 3. Adullam; 4. Hebron; 5. Jerusalem (Zion).
B. Bethlehem: tested with faithfulness in small things. This is when David received his call to be king of Israel. God’s primary earthly goal for David was to make him a worshiping warrior king, being loved by God and being a lover of God.
C. Gibeah: tested with early promotion (1 Sam. 16:19–22). David moved to this city which was the capital of Saul’s government (1 Sam. 15:34; 18:2). He lived there from age 17 until he was approximately 23. In this season, David had his first experiences with earthly success.
D. Adullam: tested with difficulty. David escaped to the cave of Adullam (1 Sam. 22:1–2) where he was tested with hardship for about 7 long years to establish his identity in God.
E. Hebron: tested with waiting for the fullness God’s promises. This season began with the death of King Saul. David was thirty years old.
F. Zion: Promises fulfilled. David reigned in Jerusalem when he was 37 years old. (2 Sam. 5:1–3)
G. God promised David a role as king in the Millennial Kingdom. [I'm drooling...]

Without You...
[Ever thought who you would be without God? I would shiver whenever I think of that. Where would I be?! What would I become? Thankful for His loving grace, I am who I am today because of Him and His leadership in my life. This thought reminds me that He is all I have, all that I live for. I have nothing but Him. What I have, He has given me to be a steward over - possessions, work, ministry and people. May I be found faithful! And like the psalmist, I say again, I have no other desire besides Him... Knowing who I really am, my purposes here on earth, leads me to yearn for Him more and more. Lovesick for Him, longing for His coming, for His glorious return.]
Where will I be
What will I become
If not for Your love filling my heart
If not for Your hand guiding me
I'd be lost without You
I'd be a wandering soul
Chasing after the things of the world
Only to feel empty over and over again
Because you have called me
And made me your own
I yield my life to You
Becoming Yours and Yours alone
I'll walk where You've walked
I'll go where You'll lead
I'll do what you've commanded
Faithful till the end I pray
Without You I am nothing
Without You I am lost
With You I have everything
With You and You alone I can overcome
I am Your bride!
I am Your friend!
You are coming again for me!
You will not abandon me to the grave!
Come Lord Jesus
Come quickly
Come rule and reign among us
Come soon and take your place
Revelation 22:17 "And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” "
Where will I be
What will I become
If not for Your love filling my heart
If not for Your hand guiding me
I'd be lost without You
I'd be a wandering soul

You are coming again for me!
You will not abandon me to the grave!
Come Lord Jesus
Come quickly
Come rule and reign among us
Come soon and take your place

I want to go on loving You...
[ A chorus line from the prayer room in ihop... I just subscribed to the audio streaming! $5 per month... yea, from misty's worship... resonates in me... Yesterday in the House of Prayer, God told me He want to show me a vision. Lovesickly, I responded ok. He showed me and I saw, and I shared. Lovesickly, I returned to gazing... Visions, singing, praying... I just want to gaze 8-) ]
Who can compare to you Lord
You’re everything that I adore
All of my life is in the palm of Your hand
All of heart I give to You
All that I am and all I do
Who can compare to You
Chorus:
This is my prayer
This is my cry
I want to go on loving You...
All through the joy
All through the pain
I want to go on loving You...
Seasons will change
People depart
I want to go on loving You...
In times of pain
When life is hard
And when the journey seems so long
I want to go on loving You...
In everything
In all of life
I want to go on loving You...
This is my prayer
This is my cry
I want to go on loving You...
[mine, cont'd...]
Walking through all the seasons
Walking on untrodden grounds
I want to go on loving You...
Even when all is still
Even when You are my only audience
I want to go on loving You...
Putting my past behind
Pressing on towards the prize
I want to go on loving You...
Serving You
Watching and praying
I want to go on loving You...
SoS 1:4
"Draw me away!
We will run after you.
The king has brought me into his chambers."
Psalm 27:4
"One thing I have desired of the LORD,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD,
And to inquire in His temple."

Why are you so downcast, O my soul?
Sing this to God...
"Put your hand under my chin
and lift up my face to look again
cos You are the glory
and lifter of my head"
Psalm 42:11
"Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God."
Psalm 46:1
"God is our refuge and strength,A very present help in trouble."
Psalm 62:8
"Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us."
Psalm 141:8
"But my eyes are upon You, O GOD the Lord;In You I take refuge; Do not leave my soul destitute."
You lift the poor from the ashes
You washed me with the water of Your word
You cause the barren woman to sing
You brought forth fruitfulness and joy
"Put your hand under my chin
and lift up my face to look again
cos You are the glory
and lifter of my head"
Psalm 42:11
"Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God."

You lift the poor from the ashes

You brought forth fruitfulness and joy

Do you know...
1) How many people on the surface of the earth will be wiped out when judgement comes?
Revelation 6:7 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” 8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.
Revelation 9:18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.
2) How old you and I will be when the shakings intensify?
3) What do you want to be found doing when these shakings come?
Matthew 24:42 "Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming"
=> Develop understanding of the times so that you will not be taken by surprise or be offended.
Matthew 25:13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
=> Acquire oil, develop personal history with God, cultivate intimacy with God.
Matthew 26:41"Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
=> Areas of compromise and sins in our lives. Throw off things that hinder and sin that entangles. Get rid of bitterness, rage…Persevere till the end.
Also read the parables in Matthew 24 & 25. Then discover what you and I can do now before Jesus comes again...
4) If you need a blessing, read the book of Revelation!
Revelation 1:3 "Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near."
Isaiah 40:8 "The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever."
1Cor13:1-3 "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,but have not love, it profits me nothing."
