All that I am is for You my Saviour
I live by Your word and surrender to You
Here where I stand in this moment
Father, my spirit has been renewed
I surrender to You
I'm grateful for Father. That song says it all for me now where I am. A road of prideful reason leads me nowhere. Spirit-led, that's where I must go.
I surrender to You
To YOU!
“No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

love note
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. ------- Proverbs 4:23
As already claimed as the highest discipline that we should have and practise, I find myself reminding myself and others to do this.
Why do I, in the first place, get upset over something by only what I perceive it to be? Feeling upset leads to sadness, feelings of disappointment and destitution, to anger, to bitterness, and so and so forth.
Why do we fall into sin by wanting our own way?
Why do we allow ourselves to be in situations where temptations lurk at every turn?
Because we don't do what the above says!
Guarding the heart means starting right from the innermost parts of your soul, your emotions. Seek and let godly counsel guide you through, with the peace of God if you know it. If not, ask for it to be given to you when you do the right thing, you'll recognise it soon.
When you guard inwardly, you guard outwardly as well. Both are in tandem with each other. Do the opposite of what you'd do. Don't put yourself in situations you cannot handle.
I'm writing this in hope that it'll apply to all situations, whatever you might be in, and to remind myself as well. Guard your heart for what? You might ask. Besides, isn't being true to yourself the best thing to do for you and others? You're right, but is your true self pleasing to God, the one who loves you unconditionally, who made you and holds your destiny? And therefore will it help you or others if it ain't right to the King?
Those are questions I ask myself when I'm in there, just something to keep us all in check, like I told someone today. And all I want is for us His bride and army to live right, start living right, learn to live right.
Rebellion ain't cool. It's plain crass. So let's live it up guys! I really mean this!

I Believe
You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease
And I trust in You
I trust in You
I believe You're my Healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my Portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands
I don't want to have unbelief in my heart. That was the very thing that hindered the Jews from coming to Jesus. There may still be unbelief lurking in us today. Why? Because there is still hesitation in obeying Him. There is still fear of disappointment, of dying, of the devil. I personally have areas where I have to fall upon trust in Him. When I'm sick, I trust in sleep and water more than His hand. Why is my first reaction to sleep more? Why don't I arise in worship of Him? Why don't I declare His healing first and move on from there? I wait for the sickness to begin challenging me to a level that I think I may need help soon then I ask for healing.
Jesus, help my unbelief!
Jesus loved to be among those who believed. He would exclaim when affirming them that they have great faith. He would go in to their houses. And then there were some who did not enter His rest due to their unbelief, so after 40 years in the wilderness, they still did not enter the Promised Land. This 40-day fast is still ongoing. When this period ends, may I emerge with a glorious new and changed faith in God, believing in Him and walking steadfast in the Spirit. I believe you will too.

Fasting time!!! I've never been excited about fasting like that before. These days, instead of having my mind process information then proceeding to understanding in my heart, it's been the other way round. A different feel, yes, and i like it. What i know is the Holy Spirit is relaying things to my spirit and in this way, i agree with God much faster than the opposite. And truth transforms so it flows out of my behaviour. Fasting is a key discipline in making myself more spiritually aware. It starts here at least for me, and the shout will grow louder!
One thing i've been telling my JYC small group members is we have to know who we worship. Once we know Him by seeing even but a glimpse of His majesty, we are forever spoiled for the world. And then we'll never stop pursuing Him. I hope, and this is my prayer too for us all, that none of us will ever stop our pursuit of Him, Yahweh, our God.

Narnia was great. Watching it was such an enjoyment and i'd rather watch it 1000 times than Sex & the City. We have to be clear about what we watch because our minds retain images more ably and learn and remember faster than we think. Someone told me before that Sex & the City is actually pretty intellectual and relevant to society so i allowed myself to watch an episode one day. 5 minutes into the show and i was out. I told whoever i was watching with that it was rubbish. Choices really determine our character. No offence to people who like the series but you should seriously think twice before just going with the flow. Watch Narnia! War and courage and faith in the face of death, treachery and betrayal. My 2 cents. :)

The thoughtfulness of a friend who's never quite that far,
though such sweet things ain't that hard for thinking up
and doing up from that certain kind nature - that heart
that always seeks to care an extra mile just to make you smile
and surely i did smile (and jumped! and somersaulted! right).
Thank you jo... :)
miss you too. and i shall stop being mushy.
