It all started one fine night, and the subsequent (:

One night, i was finding a place to do my QT. And because it was a weekday, my sis had to turn in early for school the next morning, which also means, i've got nowhere to do my QT. So, i decided to do my QT somewhere near the steps. After all, God will appear anywhere if you wait upon Him. So i began to lift up my hands. Then suddenly, i felt that the Holy Spirit wanted me to kneel. And i did.
I prayed in Tongues, sang in Tongues, a new love song. Never underestimate the power of Tongues. Because as easy as it may seem, it's a POWERFUL weapon. Personally for me, singing in Tongues really draws me nearer to God. I used to think that, "huh cannot la. sing in tongues, i cannot sia. very awful. i don't know how". Then i learnt to allow the Holy Spirit to lead me, to guide. And it all comes natural. Furthermore, whatever you sing wholeheartedly, even a croak, will turn into a melody that brings forth a sweet aroma to His throne, right? (:

Tears began to well in my eyes. I cried out to Him. Pouring out every problems that were distracting me. Confessed all the sins that i've committed. For the past few weeks, i sense dryness in my walk with God. Probably because of the unconfessed sins. Which really makes me realise that actually it was a barrier disallowing me to dwell in His presence. And ever since, i was tormented by this, spiritually and physically. But that night, i felt free. No longer ashame. Again, if we kept focusing on the mistakes that we have commited in the past, how is it able that we'll see what lies ahead of us?

It was a really sweet night with my God. Since then, it revived the love i have for my God, my Lord. He never fails, when i'm faithless, He'll be faithful.
I used to think.. spending more than 15minutes in my QT is really difficult. But now, time just moves swiftly when i indulge myself with His love, His presence. Spending just 15mintues is too much of a task.

It's not a routine nor a chore, but a passion [:

Started off my day in a good way. I used wad i've learnt during the meeting with pst. he said that wadever we learnt in school have got to do "Godly" things. or rather in a spiritual realm. so this came to me when i was having my DnT lesson. today's DnT lesson was quite special i should say. it was half a practical and theory. a mixture. well planned by the teachers i should say :D teacher started off with showing us how to cut thick metals like mild steel with machines. it was interesting. the machine grabbing hold of the steel will turn when the machine is on. and there's this sharp object which can cut steels. so when its on. we'll adjust the sharp object near the steel. and it'll cut. coz the machine which is grabbing the steel will turn. the finish product is very very nice!. its like a new steel formed! it may sound really complicated. but to make it easier. its just explaining that. just one object is turning. and another moves near it. it'll cut. that brings me a revelation. that. when we choose to turn on ourself, then can we start cutting our unclean part away. once we start turning. then will God adjust himself closer to us. cutting our unclean parts away. forming us anew once again. with better shapes. so while the lesson was going on. Mr Tan came and said. principle wants to see our DnT teacher(Mr Lim). Lim said back, "tell her im not free now. im having lesson. nobody interrupts my lesson!" saying this to the principle?! Well it may sound rude. but its the focusing on the task which really impressed me. that brought me to another revelation. When we're having a time God. nothing should interrupt us. the focus and discipline got to be really built. no matter how important the thing is. i believe. God still come first. Coz nth in this world is more impt than our heavenly Father rite? his the creator of this world. so when you're communicating with him, i believe he'll make things peaceful for you right?

This may be the one of the bext of the encounters i have with God.

It happened ytd night. before that, i was temtped to play my psp before having my QT. but i felt that i need to build my discipline. when i was abt to enter my room to pray. i suddenly felt that it wasn't the right place. as my grandma was sleeping inside. and God says he longs intimacy with us. and the only way to get it is to be alone in the room. thats how couples get their intimacy. so i went into my mum's room to pray coz she was watching some dramas which will last quite long. i started off reading some notes i took down on tuesday's PM. after reading. i planned to pray in tongues for abt 5-10mins to build up the atmosphere. just when i start to pray. something hit me! it was the attack from the devil. i just cant close my eyes. once i do so. images of evil spirits will just start to interrupt me. i just dunno why. its so scary. despite that, i continued speaking in tongues. hoping that God will overcome my fear. soon after that. those images went off. and i started to sing in tongues. and those images hit me again! its worse than before. it was another totally new experience. i know that this time with God is gonna be great. so devil is trying to weaken me and bring me out of that room. but i sood firm. continued singing in tongues. praise God that those images went away. not long after. my hands started to shake. and i felt the "electric feeling" on my palms. and my left wrist started to get the warm feeling. that time i was forming my hand as a shape of bowl like wad Pst Kong always does. but Holy spirit prompted me to leave up my hand. so i did. and my hands started to shake more. but the devil struck again. he's trying really hard to make me lose my concentration. but he failed again and again. as i was under the presence of God. everytime i "kick" the devil away. i'll start to feel more. this time, despite all those temptation. i still did what i should do. and my left hand started to have a feeling. a feeling like there's something pushing. so my hand just went left and right. a strong feeling of like fren pushing my hand. but i know that its God's anointing. not long after, my both hands started to shake real intensely. even my parent's queen size bed have the "eek eek" sound. the "electric feeling" on my palms got stronger and stronger. it stopped for awhile. and i was catching my breathe by that time. after that, the same thing happened again. this time, more intense than before. i was really trying hard to catch my breathe and speaking in tongues at the same time. then it stopped. the images came again. i prayed even stronger this time. as it got worse than before. suddenly. i felt that my whole body is struggling. the feeling i had 2 years ago during the deliverance svc. i started to cough and cough. and i know that the devil is struggling. my whole body got very worn out as the devil continued struggling under the powerful anionting of God. soon tears just rolled down. its out of sadness. and i know that. the devil inside me is really struggling and struggling. after that, i felt a strong feeling. images after images i saw minutes ago. just "flew" thru my mind. and its like. one by one. flying out. i felt so so so relaxed after that. by faith, i know that the devil had been delivered. i tot it would be the right time to give thanks and start to pray. but Holy Spirit just asked me to continue worshipping in tongues. so i followed. and this is the great think that happened. while my eyes was closed.(when your eyes are closed. its like total darkness right?) there's a EXTREMELY BRIGHT light while my eyes was still closed. its like when you're staring at the sun. its just SUPER BRIGHT. i was tempted to open my eyes, but i now its something from god. so i continued singing in tongues. and all of a sudden... i just stopped singing in tongues. a new tongues just flew out from my mouth. at first i was mumbling with those tongues. i was so shocked by it. and i started singing with the new developed tongue. there's just a great anointing! and i recieved a word form God. its like face to face conversation. he said : " I wann you to develope this new tongue i have given to you." after this saying, the bright light dimmed off. after those encounters.. thinking that it was only abt 20 mins. but its almost 1hour! wad a great heavenly experience!

i just felt the difference. the difference between when you are somehow forced to pray and thinking that its a blessing to communicate with God.


forced to pray (negative) : when you prayed and prayed. and you tot is very long already. so you ended the prayer. thinking it was like abt 30 mins gone. but looking at your phone. its only merely 10 mins! and while praying. you cannot concentrate, coz you're force to do prayer. and you will start yawning away. getting nth out of the QT.


Willing heart (positive) : when you just stay and enjoy his presence. thinking that its a privilage to have a opportuninty to communicate with God. when you end your prayer. thinking that maybe its only abt 20 mins. but.... you've actually stayed under his presence for almost an hour! hearing His word. enjoying his magnificent presence and getting miracles. getting loads from you QT.

That's the difference i realised.

So.. Which one will you choose. i believe its up to your own attitude and discipline. all the best guys! :D:D:D

I really want to thank God that the breakthru is finally here. for the past years being a christian, i've been only helping to support member's baptism. i 've been always telling myself that next baptism is going to be my turn. but i never stepped out of my comfort zone. everytime i'll tell myself that it's almost impossible. but this time. i felt that the time has come. i really stretched myself and stepped out of my comfort zone. i'll wait til late night for my father's permisson as he will work til very late. but i wont think abt the negative. like eg. not having enough sleep next morning. coz i'll wait til like 2 plus. but the faith inside me really motivates me on to wait. i've been praying and praying for it. coz time is really running out quick. but i never failed to continue trusting God for this breakthru! indeed God will never show up too early or too late. He'll come on time. everything went so well in the end! i believe why God doesn't show too early is coz he wants to test my faith! thank God that i passed it:) and i believe there's more breakthru yet to come:D praise the Lord!!!:D:D

hello! it's Thursday & Saturday is approaching soon.
seriously, the week pass very fast.
Dr. Joyce Meyer came last weekend & we had Dr. Joshua Hong during Tuesday's PM as well.
this two powerful preaching preached a word which evolve our everyday life.

Dr.Joyce Meyer preached about ceasing the moment.
always rmb that you should not waste today for tomorrow.
Matthew 6:34 ( NIV ) says :
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
we have to cease every moment in our lives, we cant afford to miss any opportunity God has for us.
which simply means, we've to cease every minute of our everyday.
in our daily life, we should let it be fruitful & enjoyable.
for we are call to be fruitful & multiply.
bible says, " and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days"
our life is yet a precious life that Christ has redeemed.
so therefore, we should rejoice in the Lord & know who we are in Christ.
we should rejoice becos we have Christ in us, but others dont.
shouldnt we be more fruitful & more happy compared to non-christian?
Dr. JM also mention this, Christian should never be bored or miserable.
yes, Christian life is never a bed of roses.
but shouldnt we have a rejoicing heart to face all the problems?
Rev. Phil Pringle said, we must understand that in the midst of all the circumstances we're facing or going through, it is for the glory of God. God is not here to destroy us, but God is here to mould us, to strengthen us through all the circumstances.
1 Cor 1 : 9 ( AMP ) :
"God is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on) by Him you were called into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord."
we should then feel honor that we are called to fellowship with Christ.

both Rev. Phil & Dr. JM mention that FAITH is important.
Faith can break the bondage of circumstances in our lives!
in every area of our lives, we require faith.
so people, have faith & be passionate about what you're going through and doing.
at the end of the day, you are the one who benefits everything. :))
1 Cor 1 : 8 ( AMP ) :
"And He will establish you to the end [keep you steadfast, give you strength, and guarantee your vindication; He will be your warrant against all accusation or indictment so that you will be guiltless and irreproachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ."

PM was tremendous.
Dr. Joshua Hong spoke a prophetic word to the church.
& he also shared the golden lamp & the olive trees.
Zech 4 : 6 - 7 ( NKJV) :
Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' Says the LORD of hosts.
" Who are you, O great mountain?
Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!
And he shall bring forth the capstone
With shouts of "Grace, grace to it! "
in NIV version ;
"What are you, O mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of 'God bless it! God bless it!' "

i was reading the book of Corinthians yesterday and it made me realise alot of things.
& in Chapter 2, it talks about Spiritual Wisdom.
and it somehow brought me to what Dr. Joshua preached about.
esp when he emphasized the word " Spirit "
it somehow or rather made me realised that without the Spirit of God, we cannot do anything.
but by the power of the Spirit, we are able to do supernatural, extraordinary things for God.
if we only rely on our own power & might, we cannot conquer anything.
For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
that through the spirit, we will understand what is God's will for our lives.
through the spirit, we know what is in God's mind.
through the spirit, we have the ability to discern, speak with wisdom & pray..
through the spirit, we will discover, perform and exercise our spiritual gifts that God has given to us.
so in order to have all these, we have to constantly build up our spirit man.
yes, our flesh is strong but our spirit man has got to be stronger than our flesh.
if our flesh is so strong, we will not be able to hear what God is trying to speak to us daily.
we've to constantly crucify our flesh.
again, having the spirit man benefits you also.

so guys, lets start to build up our Spirit man!
learn to mediate, confess and proclaim the promises of God in our lives.

let's build a strong foundation in our spiritual life.
whatever may comes your way, speak it, cast it & go over it.
become stronger than before, & reign with Christ!
let the light of Christ shines in us, that others may see Christ in us.
rmb, we are called to be a cultural mandate & a disciple of Christ.
& yea, let's rejoice because we have CHRIST in us!
i'm thankful that by the grace & mercy of God, im saved.
or not , i will not be who i am now.

but most importantly, we should not lose the fire, passion & first love for God.
get it back if you have lost it.
God is everywhere, everytime.
He doesnt forsakes, nor leave you.
God is there and here for YOU!

ONCE I HAVE TURN MY FACE FROM THEE
YET YOU SOUGHT ME AND YOU CLEANSED ME
MADE ME WHOLE AGAIN
JESUS MY SAVIOR
MY BELOVED AND FRIEND
YOUR PRAISES I BRING
FROM MY HEART I SING

DRAW ME, O DRAW ME AWAY
MESSIAH TODAY
TO YOUR PRESENCE TO STAY
O JESUS NOW CHANGE ME
AND MOULD ME THAT I CAN BE
EVERMORE TRUE TO THEE

YOU ARE THE SHEPHERD OF MY HEART
YOU HAVE BROUGHT ME TO YOUR CHAMBER
MY MASTER AND KING
YOU LIGHT UP MY DARKNESS
AND GAVE ME YOUR WORD
THAT YOU'LL NEVER FORSAKE ME
NOR NO EVER WILL LEAVE ME


how great is our God?
He's forever our great, happy, faithful God.
He is good all the time, all the time He is good.
God is smiling over us tonight. =))


O mighty mountains! before w447 & w368 you will become level ground

Happy Birthday to you! :D May your days be filled with everlasting grace, joy and more of His presence. Smile so much more, and be glad for this is the day which the Lord has made!



Isaiah 58:8 Amplified Bible
"Then shall your light break forth like the morning, and your healing (your restoration and the power of a new life) shall spring forth speedily; your righteousness (your rightness, your justice, and your right relationship with God) shall go before you [conducting you to peace and prosperity], and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard."

This is my prayer for you, your light break forth like the morning, and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard!

Very well done, some annoucements to make as there's no CGM this week:

1. Tuesday PM, meet 6.30pm at Expo. Do dress appropriately cause we've guests coming!

2. Jason Jiang, is going for his water baptism! Well, he will share about his water baptism experience with you guys. Its a great testimony! Congrats JJ! :D

3. I will be collecting the personal spiritual journal this week, Saturday. So please make sure you jot your notes down, remember, faithfulness is fruitfulness. Be faithful in the little things that you do, I'm sure God will prosper your ways.

4. This week there are several people having exams including myself, Jonathan, Leslie, Joey, Jj, Meiling, Yuan Leng...and alot more. So do pray for all of us, lets go above and beyong our targets. :)


Guys, its time you start to grasp the Word of God. It is the sword of our Spirit, and its the only tool for us to face in times of discouragements. Some of you may say that you've read the whole Bible before, but fresh manna doesn't come with the 'Bible you read before'. Fresh manna comes only when you've a renewal of passion for the Bible. I'm sure Pst. Kong has read the Bible several times before, and if Pst. Kong can do it, why can't we? Currently, I'm reading about Issac, in the Book of Genesis. Well, I'm starting from scratch as well. It doesn't matter where you start from though, the question is, Are you able to spend just 1 out of 24 hours for God?

I've always believed, if you sow a 5 minutes quiet time, you'll reap a 5 minutes blessing. Well after all, what you sow is what you reap.

Let's really follow our spiritual timetable and move forth with the Lord. Remember, there is no such thing as spectator Christian.

Yours Truly,
SC

Hey guys! :D And so the week is over and i'm sure that all of us are blessed with the sermon that Rev. A. R. Benard has shared with us on Saturday. If you didn't catch Sunday's service, go watch it at the video sermons at CHC website. It's really amazing. (:

Continuing from Rev. A. R. Benard and SC:

On Saturday we learnt that, having been re-born, we have the ability to do the intended purpose that God has given to Man: to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28). Also, we have the LIFE inside of us: the Spirit of God and the Moral Law, to help keep us in check that we do not fall to be like the world.

However, having the ability and the Life inside of us, does not mean that we will not be tempted by the devil. When we go into the world, we will definitely be tempted to adapt to the world's value system. For example, if you were a business man, and see other business man in success because they cheat their customers, you'll be thinking, "Eh, they cheat and they get the money. Why not i cheat a little? Just a little mah.. God will be happy that i prosper right?"

That's how Christians get sucked into the world, by setting down their defense. By allowing the value systems of the world into their lives.

And so the ONLY way you fight the temptations is Spiritual Discipline.

Spiritual Discipline consists of 7 points:

1. Consistant praying (in tongues and understanding)

2. Consistant reading of the Bible

3. Bible Study

4. Fasting

5. Thanksgiving
- The reason why Christians in the world fall is because they grow discontented. Lust and greed does not take a grateful and thanksgiving heart because you are truly thankful of what God has given to you.

6. Solitude with the Lord (Quiet time)
- It is important to have solitude with God, just as how Jesus would go into the Garden of Gethsemane, to have solitude with God. (Matt 26:36-44) Quiet time is where you draw closer to God.

7. Repentance and Forgiveness (confession)
- In Proverbs 28:13 it says "He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy." When you confess your sins, you're taking ownership of it, and only then can God come and cleanse and heal you.


There can be success without God, but they will only be natural success, not supernatural success. When the people in the world go on in their lives feeling empty and dis-satisfied, we know and we know and we know the only key that can unlock the door to their empty hearts is none other than Jesus. So why are you looking at the people in the world with envy? You've got someone who promises you He'll always be right beside you, cheering you on. You've got someone who promises you supernatural success.

All you need to do is to go to your room, close your door and begin to walk beside Him.

In James 4:8 it says "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you."

What are you waiting for?

Hi guys,

You guys have the access to this blog lah, haiyo. Not only me. So, all of you can jot down what you want to share, your revelations, your thoughts and of course, what you've to offer. :)

This week Dr. AR Bernard shared with us a message that is like a continuation from where he ended the last time he came, and I thought it was an awesome service. His purpose of sharing this with us to to put it across that, even if we want to engage culture, we shouldnt compromise our convictions.

The "Zoe Life" in us is something that is so precious, well for me, its something that enables me to propel even when I'm at my lowest. Everyone of us have our weakest times, and there's nothing wrong about that, because we're all imperfect people. But being imperfect doesn't give us an excuse to give up our highest calling. Nobody can understand "Zoe Life" until they have experience it. It's a Life that keeps me positive, moving on, in peace and in His joy. It's a Life that gives me strength. It is a Life that Adam lose at the beginning of mankind, it is a Life that God came to restore and renew.

What is "Zoe Life" to you?

Our conviction can be so good, that we can do something bigger than ourselves and outgrow ourselves. But don't forget, our conviction can too be so GREAT, that we can do something not just bigger than ourselves but in the same measure as God's capacity. It's a choice, how convicted you can be. At the same time, you'd want to engage culture. In many ways, being a top student, being a young entrepreneur, being a top Art student, being a President in your CCA and all sorts. Praise God for that! We should bring the moral standards of God and the presence of the Holy Spirit into these places. But one thing that people tend to forget, is that they become so indulged in being in culture and compromise their convictions. Don't forget, it is moral laws WITH presence of God, it is CHRIST in culture, not YOU in culture.

Dr. AR Bernard left with this verse that impacted me, I looked up the NLT version,

2 Cor 4:8-9
We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.


See that in EVERY single valley, the next line, there is always a 'But God will save'. You need to believe, you need to trust and you need to cry out.

Because, that's all that matters to God.

Yours Truly,
SC
