9th June 2005 (last day of Emerge)
John 7:37
Three great feasts, The Passover, Feast of Pentecost, Feast of Tabernacles (feast of harvest, our time.) The Holy Spirit is a person, a He. The Holy Spirit has a presence. The Holy Spirit carries power. How in the world do you get annoiting, more of the Holy Spirit?
1. Get spiritually hungry and thirsty. The more you have of him, the more you want of him/
2. Start opening up to God. Don't set pre-conditions. You have to make a choice.
3.Surrender your life completly 100% to God. Obedience.
Gal 2:20
It's is no longer who i am but Christ who lives in me.
Personal Note:
I give all of me in exchange of all of you.

Ages since Nad updated, not mentioning myself too. heh. Oh well, what matters now is that i'm now here. yesss. So i'll begin. Emerge was GREAT!! Pastor Kong talked much.
7th June 2005
Being in ministry is different from serving Jesus. Ministry is what i want to do for Jesus, serving is what Jesus wants me to do. What happens to us when we lose that spiritual hunger? We would lose strength, we lose the power that God has given us, we lose reproductivity, we bring no more emty vessals for Jesus to fill, we lose the fire for God, our body temperature decreases, we would then lose our mind, lose that heartbeat for God then we eventually die. We too need water to survive. Holy Spirit is the answer to that. So how in the world do you aquire a taste for the Holy Spirit? You gotta have the Right Environment-in touch with the Holy Spirit. A way to do that, speak the language that God only him understand. :) Have plenty of the Holy Spirit, experience it. To be able to feel it also is a choice a decision that you make. Lastly, you got to taste it regularly. Have encounters with him that you've never before.
1 cron 4:9-10/2 cron 16:9/Psalm 42
8th June 2005
God passes us everytime, we got to make room for the encounters.
4 things you gotta have(2 kings 4:8)
1. The bed: The bed of rest. The Holy Spirit is attracted to faith. Have a positive attitude, smile from the inside. In spite of my doubts I put my faith and trust on you in you. Faith.
2. The table: The place of fellowship, communion. Travel with the Holy Spirit. Encouter with God every single day. Involve hiim in every second millisecond of your life.
3. The chair: Be a good worshipper. Slow down your heart you mind to the beat of your heart to the beat of the heart of God.
4: The lamp stand: The word of God. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, the light unto my path.
You know God's word is our sword against everything bad. We got to hold it tight in our hands.
5 fingers you gotta have.
1. Hear the word.
2. Reading the word.
3. Studying the word.
4. Remember the word.
5. Meditate the word.
So that's all folks, for now. It's never the end for God. Today's the last session. WHOO-HOO!! It's gonna be FABULOUS!! til then. TA! and of course. God Bless..

It's been such a long time since anyone updated this blog. So, seeing the blog a little too dusty, i decided to dump my lazyness at the trash bin and really update what's been happening at JT.
30th May 2005, Monday
Once again, our 6th JT meeting was held at Ben Ong's house. Not many people came; there were only 8 of us: Ben Ong, Jing Ming, Lorenzo, Terence, Zane, Yuh Ting, Beck and me. Grace found no purpose in attending the meeting therefore she didn't bother to come. Debra, i'm not sure. I guess she's busy with something. But i guess that it's their loss that they didn't come, not in the rude way. But because God's presence was really there. Though i only felt it at the end of the session. I felt totally numb after the session. It was really good, i can't describe it, somehow.
The sharing part was somehow, too short. I feel that we should take a longer time to share and really tell what's been on our mind. And be more organised. Hahaha. Oh well, as time pass, i'm sure we would improve and increase the population in our JT group and stablise it. Yup.
During this session, some things were solved, some things were kept in the dark. I guess the things that are kept behind closet would soon be opened and shared and solved. I hope that would happen. I mean, JT is meant to have our problems shared so that the others can help to solve it. Or pray to God about it if we normal people can't solve it.
Somehow, i can't figure out the answers to the questions that are swirling in my head. Is there no purpose in attending JT? What are we here on earth for? Why are we created? Who created us? All i know, according to my knowledge, we are created by God. We were created for God, for His purpose. And we're here in this earth to praise God, worship Him and to do what He wants us to do. His purpose. So, this world is not about us. It's about God. It's all about God. Not us. "All things were created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together." - Colossians 1:16-17. And really, what beats into praising Him? And boy, am i glad that i received Christ into my life. Nothing beats it. It's such a wonderful feeling, to know that He's up there, in the first Heaven, watching over us. And sending down the Holy Spirit to guide us after sending down Jesus to wash our sins away. God is awesome. He's perfect. And I love Him with all my heart. YUP!!!
20th May 2005, Friday
On this particular friday, it was our 5th JT meeting, again held at Ben Ong's house. This time, Ben Ong, Jing Ming, Lorenzo, Terence, Zane, Debra, Grace, Si Rui, Beck and i went. Yuh Ting didn't go because she had some band stuff to do. Well, Grace finally came, and with Si Rui all the more. And we praised and worshipped God and shared. The girls went with the girls and the guys with the guys. And during the girl's talk, Grace, Beck, Debra and me cried because of the friendship between us. We've been ignoring each other for so long and really, it was totally heart-breaking. I totally cried and yes, sobbed. I couldn't stop crying; so much's been left unsaid. Sigh.
Overall, it's pretty good. Yup. Got nothing much to say.
Like i said, what beats into having God in your life. It's such a special relationship. There's this holy connection, and there's nothing else more important than having this special relationship. Not even marriage. Not even money. Having Christ in my life is such a wonderful thing, and really, my life will never be the same again. I can't imagine life without God. God is just so perfect, so beautiful, so awesome. I can't describe it. You gotta receive Christ to know this feeling. It's just... Wonderful. Life is perfect with God alone. And i love Him with all my heart and soul.
Jesus reigns,
Nad

Am glad to announce that YuhTing, small watermelon cookie is saved. *beam* Truly I can see God working in this land. Saved on 12th of May, a day after her birthday. Tears flowed and praises were made, a decision to follow God was made. This decision to follow Jesus is for a lifetime, never will you praise any other God, he is all that you'll ever need. You may not know, but he is just right there beside you. Amazing? Totally out of this world. We'll be entering the supernatural. Cool stuff here, better get it while you can. He's coming back for us.

God's Wrath Against Mankind
I would not say that i'm against gays. I'm not. I'm a mid-open person. Anyway, in this era, this kind of issues like sexuality are nothing much. It's like been there, done that. Modern people are able to accept gays or lesbians or homosexuals. Like i said, i'm a mid-open person: i don't mind gays but i do mind lesbians, thank you. I would not talk about the reasons on the dislike on lesbians, for fear that i might be sued. So anyway, i don't mind gays. In fact, i would like to be a guy slut in my next life, but of course, that doesn't mean i must be gay, right? I wouldn't not want to be a homosexual. Reasons being, i don't approve of the sexual activities that homosexuals carry out. I'm being honest here. And purely, the other reason would be: It's against God. Now wait a second, before you turn cursor to cancel or back, please read on. Read and understand what God have to say.
God's Wrath Against Mankind (Romans 1:18 to Romans 1:32)
"The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
"For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and aniamls and reptiles."
"Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things than the Creator - who is forever praised. Amen."
"Because of this, God gave them over to shamful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."
"Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil , greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."
God's Righteous Judgement (Romans 2:1 to Romans 2:16)
"You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgement on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgement do the same things. Now we know that God's judgement against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, a mere man, pass judgement on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgement? Or do you show comtempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realising that God's kindness leads you toward repentance?"
"But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgement will be revealed. God will give to each person according to what he has done. To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honour and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favouritism."
"All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not the law, since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares."
I believe that God has His ways. When He closes a door, He would always leave a window open. And i believe that if you're doing things that are against Him, then you should change. Change and repent, ask for His forgiveness and He will forgive you for God loves all His children. People are imperfect, we do make mistakes. And when we trespass against God, all we can do is to ask for forgiveness and God will forgive.

Never compare. You are beautiful. Nobody can ever be you, ever. Never. God planned you this way, embrace, you'd come to love it. Why compare? You are beautiful already. Forget about the other runners on the tracks, just concentrate on finishing your own race. God looks only at you, your heart, he isn't going to compare you to others. He loves you as you are. How wonderful is that?

the most intimate moments of life is when i'm with him. i feel at ease. he listens to my problems never gave grunts of complains, i sometimes wonder how he does it. he doesn't seem like human at all, yet that human touch is there. he loves me like no other how else can i not be satisfied? sometimes i just get so angry at things, and i'm just fustrated how can he not when he was in our human form? we all have our heart, that muscle that pumps that feels and breaks that eventually will be healed by him. how thankful i am. i am only human, he's not entirely,at least. that comfession that i am following him just broke all my defences down, i know i do not have to put on that ugly material mask that i have for the world. he made me real again, alive again. he loves me and that i know for sure. he touches me like no other. i long for that day i see his face. i long for that day when hw world will end and i can finally be with my father. all dads love their children. he didn't even really know me at all( yes i know, God knew me even when i was born..but u know what i mean...) and yet he died for, me. who could ever do that? love. that wonderous love. i've never really felt alone at all, and i know i never will. this isn't obssession. this is love. love is everything a friend once told me. love can make a person change. love forsakes all flaws. love never is unreal even if you're loving something for another thing's purpose, there still is love involved. this isn't a cult, this is the real God. this is someone who loves you so much even though you shut yourself away from him. prayers come easily, just open your heart, everything's kept confidential, only between him and you, only. ever only. he'd never doing anything except love you, if only you'd let him.
