Don't tell me what to do!

I'm a Christian but please don't tell me what to do!

Ok I have received this in my inbox from one of my Christian groups
in facebook who preached...

"How can you say you are a follower of Jesus if you associate with the world, compete with the world and want to be like the world? If you follow Jesus you will talk like Jesus, live like Jesus and act like Jesus. Who are we fooling but ourselves?"

Let me ask you,
how do you feel if you read something like this?

If you're not a believer yet, probably, you'd stay away from Jesus
because honestly, it's hard to become like Jesus!

If you're a baby Christian, this may lead you to ask a lot of questions
and wonder if you're on the right congregation or not..confusing you even more.

Or you might start to have some doubts if you really want to follow Jesus
..because in the reality and human as we are..it's really hard to act like Jesus.

And then one day you just decide
to finally give up your faith on somewhere you think is practical and easy because that thought itself of "following Jesus" is stressing you out.

Been there ! Done that!

I stayed away from Jesus for so long because of this kind of preaching.
"If you're a Christian, you must become like one..act like one...do this...do that!"


Helllooooo! Don't give me those LAWS!!!

How to become like Jesus??

I don't want to become a hypocrite.
I can honestly say to you that I can't.

If I, with my own power and might, I'd become Jesus.

Then I wouldn't need Jesus in my life anymore!

Just like if you become a superman or any other heroes..

You don't need someone with a special power same as you to save the world.
or else, the other one will become useless.

Well, that's what I thought!

It's really hard to become like Jesus!

Believing God with whom you haven't seen personally is a
struggle enough of your faith.


So pleeeeease , "Perfect" Christians..let me walk in faith first.

I want to become UNCONSCIOUSLY like Jesus!

That I do good, not because doing good is good but it just merely comes
naturally in me...unconsciously.

I feel so mad right now.

I hate this kind of Christian preaching!

If I won't become like Jesus...then at least let me stay with Him..

Is that so much of a problem with you oh so "perfect" Christians???

(Speaks in tongues)

Everytime I feel like this.. I just grab one of Pastor Joseph Prince' sermon
and get drown with it.

and oh, one more thing, if you perfect Christians are really into so following and acting like Jesus..then let me ask you.. Did Jesus use the internet too?
By joining facebook and be online and looking for some sinners to point your gun into
and firing out your bullets on facebook or any other social networking sites
is you call what?! lolx!

Keys To Manifesting The Glory Of His Presence

I am healed!!!

I got little headaches and muscle pains on my back lately.
I don't like feeling this way.
It makes me soooo uncomfortable about life and I feel
like it's pulling me down.

Then I heard, a voice telling me..

"If you were healed by your Jesus, then how come you are feeling that way?
Do you feel that he is for real now that you're going to be sick?"

That made me pause for a while...and thought.

Pro 4:23 Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.

Then

I say,

"Heyyyy! I am not going to be sick. I am going to be well!
I maybe experiencing some pains today but God has bring back
my healing 2,000 years ago because of what Jesus did!

Don't make me wonder anymore, you devil! You are such a loser!

(Speaks in tongues)


Thank you for my healing, Lord!

I claim it no matter what...for I believe

The things which we can see with our physical eyes are temporary and will surely pass away, but the things which are not seen with our physical eyes are eternal... (2 Corinthians 4:18)


Yessss!! These pains that I have in me right now, are just temporary!

My healing comes from only You and You alone..

Let it be this way forever!

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." -Isaiah 41:10

Just in time.. I saw this video on youtube.

See how God assures me of His healing?

Protected Under His Wings

Singapore has confirmed its first case of Influenza A (H1N1).

Shall I be afraid?


Strangely but honestly, I am not.

For I am secured and I believe in God's protection over me.

Everywhere I go, that's my badge, "I AM PROTECTED"

for one thousand shall fall on my left hand and ten thousand on my right hand,
IT SHALL NOT COME NEAR ME! In Jesus mighty name!!!

Feed on this awesome message from Pastor Joseph Prince my friends.

and whatever the world is trying to tell you right now...

bad economy, recession, deaths, suicides, deadly diseases.

Let PEACE dwells in your heart.

That's all we gotta have...

One thing needful, you just have to REST in Him...


Safe Under God’s Wings

Psalm 91:4
4He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge…

A farmer walked around his farm to take stock of his losses after a fire had destroyed it. When he came to the chicken coop, he noticed the charred carcass of a mother hen. He used his foot to turn the carcass over and to his surprise, live chicks ran out from under it! The mother hen had died protecting her chicks from the fire.

In the Bible, wings speak of protection. David said to God, “Hide me under the shadow of Your wings.” (Psalm 17:8) Jesus Himself offered protection to the Jewish nation when He said, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!” (Luke 13:34)

He wanted to gather the children of Israel under His wings to protect them, but they were not willing. That was why He wept over Jerusalem. He literally shed tears because He saw the destruction that would come upon His people. He saw the Roman siege of Jerusalem in AD70, when the Romans burnt the city and holy temple, slaughtered many, took some captive and sold others as slaves. (Luke 19:41–44) I believe that He also saw the Holocaust of World War II, which resulted in the extermination of six million Jews.

For us, because we have not rejected Jesus, but have received Him as our Savior, we have His protection, especially in these times of deadly pestilences, natural catastrophes and terrorist attacks.

Like the mother hen who spread her wings and died protecting her chicks, Jesus spread His wings of love and died on the cross for us. And after He had died to save us, He rose again and lives today to make sure that we are well taken care of.

Beloved, see yourself under the wings of your Savior, who has promised you this in His Word: “He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge.”

The Gospel, the good news is a revelation of what's right with you
because of what Christ has done!

My New Alarm Clock

I got addicted of facebook games and this made me stay up late lately.
Everyday I wake up so sluggish and when at work, I feel so sleepy.

I didn't like it. And I want more energy.

So last night. I knew that I will have a hard time waking up around 6 in the morning,
and then I anticipated , I'm gona be so lazy getting up for work again.

So a thought came to my mind.

After playing several games which made me drowsy around 1.30 am...
I just asked Jesus to wake me up instead.

I don't like to use my alarm because I feel pressure on it and
it makes me irritable ...

So, I thought, maybe Jesus can do something about it.




tic tac..tic tac...

morning comes....

I woke up around 6.20am...



And let me tell you, I woke up feeling so refreshed and energised
as if I got an 8hr sleep.

I'm here in my office now.

Not feeling sleepy, sluggish or irritable..but instead so hyper
and happy.:)

It's amazing!

It's totally a different feeling waking up with Jesus!

I couldn't explain!

Maybe you'll just need to try it yourself.

Before sleeping and if you feel so stress out and tired
about anything, just talk to Him and let Him wake you up
in the morning.

It works for me.

Just try it!


Thank you Jesus!

Word Of God Speak by MercyMe

One of my fave Christian songs that always warms my heart.






----Word of God Speak-----

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say

[CHORUS]
Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
Word of God speak

I'm finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice

[REPEAT CHORUS 2x]

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay

Which Is Easier To Say?

We always want a miracle .
We want instant healing, success and good things
to happen in our lives.

That's why we pray.

But when God seems so distant and we feel that He has been
ignoring our prayers, our faith level starts to drop.

Questions like, Does God really exist?
Or Does God hate me? blah blah blah!

Then , we end up complaining to a lot of stuffs.

In the natural, that's how we are.

Part of being human.

But as you start to believe in God, not by sight or by miracles
that you seen and heard,

BUT BY FAITH..no matter what.

Everything will come into place and things around you will start to change
according to His plan.

You just need to get a little patient with it.

Impatient. -> also part of being human. And I call it "ugly" and
deteriorating to one's health if it exists for so long inside us.
It sucks our soul which prompts us to do things on our own effort then
we screwd up!

I do have a lot of prayers
and I want a lot of things to happen in my life right now.

And I do get a little so impatient sometimes.

Nudging Him everytime.

Well, that's me.

In time, I know He will change me.

For now, as I wait for His approvals and go signals.

I will keep myself in His Words.

Whether I have experienced the manifestations or not.

...because I know His promises are true.

Which Is Easier To Say?


Colossians 2:13
13And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,

Let me ask you a question which Jesus asked the Pharisees: “Which is easier, to say [to the paralytic], ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk’?” (Luke 5:23)

In the context of ministering to a paralytic, saying “Your sins are forgiven” is probably easier. Why? Because you don’t need an outward manifestation to prove that his sins are forgiven. But when you tell him, “Rise up and walk,” he must rise up and walk, or you will look very foolish! So that makes saying “Your sins are forgiven” easier than saying “Rise up and walk”.

The truth is, what is seemingly more difficult for man in the natural is not so for God. With God, physical healing is clearly “easier” for Him than forgiveness of sins. The latter is the “harder” and greater miracle because it required God to deliver up His beloved Son to take on all our sins and shed His blood on the cross.

Yet, when faced with a loved one stricken with cancer, or when gripped by mounting debts after being jobless for a long time, we seem to find it harder to believe and say that God has already given us the breakthroughs we need, than to believe and say that our sins are forgiven. Saying that our sins are forgiven seems easier than saying that God has already given us the miraculous physical healing, supernatural financial breakthrough or divine favor at the next job interview.

But since God has done the “harder” and greater miracle of “having forgiven you all trespasses”, there is nothing He will not do for you! (Romans 8:32) In fact, if you think that there is something that God is withholding from you, you are implying that that something is greater than the forgiveness of sins which Jesus died to give you! But nothing can be greater than the perfect sacrifice of Jesus.

So hear the Lord telling you today, “Your sins have been forgiven you. You have perfect acceptance before God. Rise up and be healed! Rise up and walk in health, wisdom, favor, protection and wholeness!”
