Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Knowing the principles and teaching the principles comes naturally. But applying them to myself is the hardest. I can share and advise on what to do but when i step into their shoes, the Word became hard to apply. I guess when emotions are involved, it makes it ever harder. It came to a stage of what should i do? What can i do? What must i do? I tell myself to walk right, but my heart tells me to do otherwise. The only solution to resolve all problems is to let go and trust God. But what does it really mean? It is such a board term - Letting Go, Trust God.
I believe it simply mean accepting the process and be satisfied with the outcome arranged by God. Or did i make it even more confusing.
Only the Holy Spirit can deposit a conviction which goes beyond all reasoning. Without that deep conviction, whatever we try to do will never last. It can be done in the short run, but it will fall away in the long. Conviction gives us the direction in our lives and help us to stay focus on that path. We will know what we need to do in our lives because of conviction. It brings us further than we can ever imagine. It supports whenever things does not seem to be in place and strengthen the body, spirit & soul to withstand the hardship of times.
If you need direction in life, ask the Holy Spirit to deposit a conviction that goes beyond all reasoning. It will be the moment of your life.
Jesus said in Matthew,
“It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘i desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For i have not come to call the righteous, but the sinners.”
Everyone need God, do not choose who you like to care or like to share. Do not base your selection on appearance. Do what God wants you to do. Exercise compassion and mercy, execise grace and love. Call everyone into the Kingdom of God.
If you need annointing of the spirit, ask from the Lord – only He the giver can fill you with the annointing. If you need authority to teach, ask from the Lord – only He the King can give you the authority. Be strong and be courageous. Be one who corrects the wrong with heart of love and grace. Be one who stand in the gap and bring the pressence of God to His people. Not for the sake of honour from man but for the glory of God. Change the world with Christ’s love and grace. Revive the world with the work of the Holy Spirit. Awaken the nations through the power of God.
If you do not like how the world is right now, arise and make changes to it. Do not sit back and do nothing. Do not be a talker, but put action behind every single word that comes forth your mouth. Put heart and soul into your words. Live the things that you says. Be a changer in your workplace, in your community, in your household, in your cities, in your nation and in the world. Backed every words, every action with the Word of God. Let it be your basis to a righteous life. If there is a choice between righteousness and peace, choose righteousness and practice righteousness. Be the righteous person God wants you to be.
“I love you, but i hate what you have become.”
This words echo through my spirit. The world is corrupted and have fallen into deep darkness. The light have to shine once more where it once did in the beginning. Who is willing? There is not much time to lose. The time is now. This generation have to stand up and be that example for the next. The next generation have to take their rightful places in the world and claim this land back for Jesus. In every nation, in every cities, let the revival begin. Can’t you sense the urgency to set the people free? Who is willing to take this step of faith and bring light once more into the nations. Love the people, hate the corruption. Let love and grace be the basis of change. Raise up and take your rightful place.
The past will always have an influence on the present. One will always have a set perspective of someone based on the past of how he/she is like. The only way to change these perspective is to allow the now and future time become the past. That is the tragic of today’s life. It is hard to find someone who is willing to see the positive changes that is going to occur or is currently occuring. People need prove of the change and only the past can tell you that things have changed.
Well, for the one changing, i strongly suggest taking a view “FOR GOD ONLY”. Ultimately, the change is for God and God alone, no one else. If that is your thoughts, change will come naturally and easily. But if your thoughts are about proving others wrong or because of someone other than God, the path of change is hard to embark on. Different people have different perspective of you. Trying to satisfied all will only tire you out even before you get started and why do you have to be the person someone else wants you to be? Be what God wants you to be!!! Isn’t that much better?
As you seek to change your own life, be patient with those around you as they change theirs. Use eyes of faith to see change happening in their lives (even if you can’t see it happening). Expect changes to come, but do not force your expectation upon them (remember this, you are not modeling them after yourself). As you channel others to God, changes will come as i said earlier naturally.
Everyone is unique and different in the sight of God. He is the only one capable to mould you into who He wants you to become.
Trust Him.
No high emotion, only passion and conviction at it’s deepest.The call became very clear. By the end of this convention, i know what i have to and must do. My soul is crying out for more of God and His people. To give up the desire of my heart and focus on the desire of His.
I know that i need a new fresh annointing and i require more understanding of Him.
James 3:1-18
How can the mouth be so wicked?
How can it be so diversified?
Out of the mouth speaks forth encouragement, words of wisdom and offers a hand of comfort in a time of need. Also out of it comes prayers and teachings, annointing and words of truth. With it, praises and adoration are freely given onto the Almighty God.
But at the same time, condemnations and critics came from the very same mouth, birthing gossip and slander. It complains and pull down those standing, hurting and cursing those close by. With sarcasm and insults tearing apart many relationships, and of course - all the boasting and big words doesn’t really count.
This should not be.

Verse1
My life is a great show,
and me the great performer.
The performance is convincing,
and i know every line by heart.
With a huge smile on my face,
and a loud laugh from my mouth.
With worries never on my mind,
and nothing too small or hard.
Chrous
I got the audience clapping,
and people standing and cheering loudly.
But deep down inside,
I am hurting bad.
Verse2
So with everything safely tuck away,
under that glaring spotlight.
i play that part day after day,
getting better with every passing moment.
With words of strength,
and words of wisdom.
Using the hand of care,
and the hand of love.
Chorus
I got the audience clapping,
and people standing and cheering loudly.
But deep down inside,
I am hurting bad.
Verse3
Finally on one fine day,
Something inside of me broke.
Tears flowing down my face,
leaving me a total wreck.
A pressence fills the place,
and a dim light at the end of the tunnel.
I saw a hand right before my eyes,
urging me to take it up.
Chorus
I got the audience clapping,
and people standing and cheering loudly.
But this time round,
the joy to be myself.
