happy halloween


yay

Your loves enough to see the broken hearts
Gain a brand new start with a brand new heart
As the faithful hope in things unseen
Youre enough to see all the things they dream
Come to life

Were living in the Saviour today
And this day is what we have now
In this moment we have chosen to praise
And its changing how we live now

Your love it broke my fall
Its more than enough and I need it
Cause Ive never known better
And Ill never know better

This love will see me soar
Its more than enough and I need it
Cause Ive never known better
And Ill never know better

Your loves enough to see the humbled man
Find the cause of Christ
With his outstretched hands
As the cripple grabs his mat to walk
Youre enough to save him from the pain he bore

My Saviour
Youll never let me go
My life is now secure

My Saviour
Youll never let me go
And in Your hands my futures brighter

los...
this is cool

you know
it's incomprehensible
such a great God,
loves you
even when he see's everything that you did.
everything you did wrong,
everything you screw up,
He just takes you by the hand and hugs you, close to His heart,
and says
"it's ok, Daddy's here."
and you just feel that peace, that trust, that everything's gonna be alright.
awesome stuff.

The man of God came up and told the king of Israel, "This is what the Lord says: 'Because the Arameans think the Lord is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the Lord'." - 1 Kings 20:28

Whenever we stand on the mountain, we are able to see clearly. It is the best vantage point to see what lies ahead. Wouldn't it be great to live on the mountain all the time in order to anticipate what is ahead? God allows us to experience the mountaintop at times. Joseph's first mountaintop experience was as a young man. He had the favor of his father, Jacob. He was given a fine coat and even had a dream about his future. As a young man, Joseph had a sense of destiny about his life. God often gives us a picture of our future so that we will remember this picture when we are being tested to trust Him in the valley. This picture usually does not reveal how God intends to bring about the visions for our life.

However, none of us really derive the character qualities God desires for our lives while we are on the mountain. It is in the valley where the fruit is planted and harvested. It cannot grow on the mountain; it must grow in the valley. God is a God of the mountain, but he is even more a God of the valley. In the valley, it is more difficult to see ahead; the clouds often cover the valley and limit our sight. Joseph was thrust into a deep valley that left him wondering if the God of his father had forsaken him. Jesus hoped that He might be able to avoid the valley that caused Him to sweat blood. There is a valley that each of us must enter, usually unwillingly, in order to experience the God of the valley-and to experience His faithfulness in the valley. Once we have spent time in this valley, we come out with something we would have never gained if we had not entered it. The valley brings much fruit into our lives so that we might plant seeds into the lives of others. God does not waste valley experiences. If we are faithful in the valley, we will enter a new dimension with God that we never thought possible. There is a harvest of wisdom and virtue that can only be grown in the valley.

Has God brought you into the valley? Know that the valley is a place of fruitfulness; it is a place of testing. It is where God brings what you know in your head into your heart. The only value of knowledge is when it becomes part of your heart. Look for God in the valley today.

"Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good." -Message

hi dears :D

i was thinking, for the 555th post BBQ thing.

thought this saturday would be a good day since there's no dare service, but then again, it's too last minute and i think ervin still has exams? :O

so let's have it like, at the end of this month. on the 31st of Oct. it's the fifth week of the month so there's no dare stuff. ;) and it's a saturday so i don't think Jay would have work right? :O (or school? :OOOOOO)

we can't have it on any of the saturdays in november or december cos all the saturdays in those months have dare services/level sessions. you guys wouldn't want to miss those, no? and if we have it on a weekday Jay might probably be working right? :O so he won't have much time to spend with us :(

so, BBQ, 31st Oct. which is in about 2 weeks time. and it's the first day of the holidays!!! :D

i think someone suggested having it at Celine's condo right? :O will her sister's 'A's over by then? if not we'll have it at rey's house instead.

so, 31st Oct.
Saturday.
either Celine/Rey's crib.

It really has been ages hasn't it? :) Hahahah well, NOT TO WORRY FOR I AM BACKZ.
Okay, that wasn't the main point about my post. I want to share a testimony with you guys today. :D

Remember on Saturday, you guys prayed for me? I'm telling you now that it has been answered. It totally has.
For those of you who are clueless about what I am rattling off about, I actually couldn't go for EJ5. But that was before :)
HOHOHO.
I was really upset because I could not make it for EJ5. Or rather, I was forced not to go. My sissy has her As this year and this year would probably be the last one for the whole family to go on a vacation. Both my siblings wanted to go to the States. I didn't really mind as long as I could still go for EJ5. But guess what? I couldn't. My mammi claims that we'll have to leave in early December so that we'll be back early before school starts. I was extremely disappointed and I often had heated arguments with my little-too-bossy sister about the vacation dates. Everyone could not see the reason why my church camp so soooo important to me, "Go for next year's one la." That's what they'll say. Neither could I get my message across to them that EJ camps are very special to me because that's the only time I get to seriously bond with DG and Jesus. My family assumes that I'll be seeing you guys just as often when we graduate to Arrow. But I know we're not...
So anyhoo, fast-forward to last Saturday. It was Jay's brilliant idea to pray for we and so we did. Everyone gathered around me and Jay started praying. Abby grabbed my hand :D hahahah. I was so touched!!! :D:D:D:D Just knowing that you guys are always there for me is comforting enough :) When Jay was praying for me, I felt this rush of... Idk. Something warm. I've prayed to God about this issue before, but I always had little faith. Hearing Jay just made me forget all my doubts and give everything to God.
I went home not expecting anything great to happen. When I reached home, it was just me and my mom in the house. I had a talk with her to compromise things. It wasn't very pretty. I realized that I was quite selfish myself - but aren't we all when it comes to the things we want? She finally agreed to me going; only if my sister did. Hahaha, my blessing didn't end there, in fact, it got better. The heart-to-heart talk was so much easier with my sis than with my mom. She just suddenly gave in. She didn't protest. She didn't contradict. She didn't even argue about it. She was like "oh, alright, we're cool."

HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!?!?!!?!?!?!

Hahaha, KUDOS TO JESUS WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

On the flipside, I had a really sucky day. It was chinese all the way. I feel like some chinawoman now. ( No offense Kylie darhling ;) )

1 Corinthians 2:12
12Now 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.

As a child of the Most High God, God wants you to know the things that have been freely given to you. He wants you to receive them freely although it cost Him His Son. He paid the price, but He wants you to receive the blessings freely. That is His love toward you.

Perhaps you are asking God, “How is it that I don’t have this blessing? And why do I have so little of that?”

I believe that He is saying this to you: “What do you lack, My child? Health? Take it! It has been paid for with the life of My Son.

“Do you need peace of mind? My Son wore the crown of thorns on His head to give it to you. Take it!

“Lack wisdom? Take My wisdom!

“Need victory? Victory is not something you attain. It is a gift to be received. Take it!

“Take My prosperity! Take My favor! Every time you come into My Presence, take, and take some more!”

God, your heavenly Father, wants you to receive like the prodigal son, who deserved nothing, but received everything. (Luke 15:11–24) God delights in giving freely. And He delights in you receiving freely because it shows that you value and appreciate His Son’s sacrifice.

You miss it when you are busy trying to earn what has been freely given to you, when you think that you must do more for God to bless you, or that you must pay the price for it. God cannot give it to you based on your works because if it is by works, it is no longer by grace. When you try to work for it, you frustrate the grace of God and make light of Jesus’ work at Calvary.

My friend, the days of trying, striving and earning are over. The days of take, take and take more have come. Take and you will bring pleasure to God’s heart!

Hi Guys and Gals,

As most of you know by now, EJ sign up for this year will be done online.
I have attached the email and secret password in the drafts section of the blog so that it will not appear on the main blog for the whole world to see but only to those who have access to blog on our blog (go to edit posts and there you will see everyone's posts. Look for mine before this post (drafts) and click it and you will see it.)

Please do your registration fast as there are only limited places. As all of you know, EJ is a great time to have fun with friends and have a great intimate time with Jesus. Plus, this year is EJ5, and we all know what the significance of 5 is right? So I'm really expecting something spectacular for this camp.

Once you have signed up and are going for the camp, pls indicate that you are going by smsing me. Also, those who are not doing, pls sms me with the reasons for not doing so. Also, can someone pls call Amos and Matthew and let them know of the camp and how to sign up? Thanks :)

Hebrews 8:10
10… I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts…

What laws was God referring to when He said, “I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts”? He was certainly not referring to the Ten Commandments, known as the laws of the old covenant, since He said that He found fault with that covenant and declared it obsolete. (Hebrews 8:7–9, 13)

The laws that God puts in our minds and writes on our hearts refer to the royal law of love (Matthew 22:37–40), the perfect law of liberty (James 1:25) and the law of faith. (Romans 3:27) These are the laws of the new covenant.

You live according to the laws of the new covenant when you are conscious of how much God loves you. And the more you are conscious of His love for you, the more your heart is filled with love. When that happens, you will love God and the people around you supernaturally and effortlessly. That is God writing on your heart the royal law of love — that we love because He first loved us. (1 John 4:19)

Secondly, when you know that you are perfectly accepted by God because of Jesus’ sacrifice, you can have the courage and liberty as a child of God to come boldly into the presence of your heavenly Father. And in His presence, He is able to write on your heart new desires. You will find yourself wanting to do the right thing at the right time. You will live life victoriously from the inside out. This is the perfect law of liberty operating in your life.

Thirdly, when you sense what God is writing on your heart and putting in your mind, and as your faith is activated causing you to trust Him and His love for you, He calls it obeying the law of faith. When that happens, whatever you believe, you receive!

My friend, God has made it easy — and you will find that it is exciting — to live life under the new covenant!



-Jasper

PS...see how important it is to be conscious of God's love for you?

Happy birthday Rey Tan Qin Hao
God bless you with wisdom.
May you have the peace and joy of the Lord.
May you be blessed in every way.
May even the mistakes you make prosper.
May you be protected by Psalms 91
May you live life more abundantly

Amen

-Jasper

about your present...I'll give you my presence. For awhile.

hi. i just wanna share something about what i read and found to really help me alot.

With God in your world, you aren't and accident or an incident; you are a gift to the world, a divine work of art, signed by God.
One of the finest gifts I ever recieved is a football signed by thirty former professional quarterbacks. There is nothing unique about this ball. For all i know it was bought at a discount sports store. What makes it unique is the signatures. The same is true with us. In the scheme of nature Homo sapeins are not unique. We aren't the only creatures with flesh and hair and blood and hearts. What makes us special is not our body but the singature of God on our lives. We are his works of art. We are created in his image to do good deeds. We are significant, not because of what we do, but because of whose we are.

-jordan

this is the song that was sang at service today, it was posted on the blog before, but maybe some of you forgot it (or didn't hear it). so anyways, enjoy! :)



DARE Service 3/10/2009
Pastor Ben

The devil was a worship leader
but he fell because of arrogance

Jesus defeated the devil with humility

Let he who boast, boast in the Lord

God's grace is always flowing towards me!

You young people, submit to your elders(leaders).

"God resist the proud, but gives grace to the humble
Therefore humble yourselves under that mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time"

If there is a chance to submit, it is an opportunity for God to release grace in my life.

1 Peter 5:7 (the message version)
"Live carefree before God; he is most careful with you."

Stressing blocks God's grace from flowing into your life

"God, I've done my best, YOU do the rest!"

When I cast my cares on God, grace flows!

Don't worry about your body, it will only make it worse.
In God's timing, everything will be alright!

If God can feed those birds, who don't work, how much more will He feed me???

DON'T WORRY

Start thanking God for He cares for you!
Cast your cares upon Him!

Thank God ALWAYS!
Even when I have nothing.
Thank Him that I am right with Him, that I am His child.

Don't worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry for itself.

Live in the now. Live each day on its own.

Go to God.

Phillippians 4:6
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything in prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be known to God

Grace is getting what I don't deserve.

God's
Riches
At
Christ's
Expense

God has forgiven me of all my sins!

Don't make begging prayers


Don't live careful or careless.
Live carefree.

Have fun.
Bye

-Bob



Happy birthday Jordan Marcus Farr Pang Jing X (?)
God bless you with all the good things in life
May you grow more and more in God's glory
May His favour and blessings be upon you ever you go
May He protect you with Psalms 91 and bless with Deutronomy 28
May you be filled with the wisdom of the Lord.
Amen



Happy Children's Day to all of you.

Have fun

Goodbye
