29.2.12

Remember


God brought me back to early 2007 as I waited upon Him this morning.
Then His words came out ....

耶和華是我的牧者, 我必不至缺乏,

祂使我躺臥在青草地上,
又領我到可安歇的水邊

祂使我的靈魂甦醒,
為自己的名引導我走義路,

我雖然行過死蔭的幽谷,也不怕遭害

因為你與我同在,你的杖,你的竿都安慰我

在我敵人面前,你為我擺設宴席

你用油膏了我的頭,使我的福杯滿溢

我一生一世都有恩惠慈愛隨著我
我且要住在耶和華的殿中,直到永遠
詩篇23



Pastor Joel's today scripture
" Remember His marvelous works which He has done,
His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth"  Psalm 105:5

Pastor Joel said " There are probably things in your life that you were once excited about. When God opened the door and gave you that new job, you were so excited. ( I was thrilled as I got new job in Birmingham )

You knew it was God's favor ( I knew it was God's mercy and grace )

Well, don't let the passion wear off just because you've had it five years! ( Yes, I have been working for this art company for 5 years ! )

Remember what GOD has done!  Stir up PRAISE !

Thank Him for His faithfulness
Let your attitude of gratitude pave the way to live the life of blessing He has for you ! "

Prayer
Father GOD, I remember and acknowledge your goodness in my life.
I PRAISE you because you are GOOD.

Thank God gave me words as I was writing the blog....

萬軍之耶和華阿, 你的居所何等可愛
我羨慕渴想耶和華的院宇
我的心腸 我的肉體 向永生 神呼籲
萬軍之耶和華我的王 我的 神阿
在你祭壇那裡 麻雀為自己找著房屋 燕子為自己找著菢雛之窩
如此住在你殿中的,便為有福.他們仍要讚美你

靠你有力量心中想往錫安大到的, 這人便為有福
他們經過流淚谷, 叫這谷變為泉源之地, 並有秋雨之福蓋滿了全谷
他們行走  力上加力 各人到錫安朝見 神
耶和華萬軍之 神阿  求你聽我的禱告  雅各的 神阿  求你留心聽

神阿  你是我們的盾牌  求你垂顧觀看你受膏者的面
在你的院宇住一日  勝似在別處住千日
寧可在我神殿中看門 不願住在惡人的帳棚裡
因為耶和華   神是日頭  是盾牌   要賜下恩惠和榮耀
祂未曾留下一樣好處     不給那些行動正直的人
萬軍之耶和華阿   倚靠你的人  便為有福

詩篇 84

25.2.12

不要灰心 常常禱告



“ So let's NOT get tired of doing what is GOOD. At just the right TIME we will reap a harvest of blessing if we do NOT give up " Galatians 6:9


" Payer " ... " Keep Praying " ....  these words just came straight into my head as I read Pastor Joel's daily words. 


Get bro / sis together to pray deeper in spirit .....


Action to commit praying for sunday service .....


求主保守我們的心懷意念,因為一生的果效都由心發出

24.2.12

香柏樹


義人要發旺如棕樹, 生長如黎巴嫩的香柏樹

他們栽於耶和華的殿中, 發旺在我們  神的院裡

他們年老的時候仍要結果子,要滿了汁漿而常發青

好顯明耶和華是正直的. 他是我的磐石,在他毫無不義 

詩篇 92

23.2.12

赤露敞開

的道是活潑的,是有功效的,
比一切兩刃的劍更快,甚至魂與靈,
骨節與骨髓,都能刺入,剖開,
連心中的思念和主意都能辨明.


並且被造的沒有一樣在他面前不顯然的;
原來萬物在那與我們有關係的主眼前,   
都是赤露敞開的. 


我們既然有一位已經升入高天尊榮的大祭司, 就是 神的兒子耶穌, 便當持定所承認的道
因我們的大祭司並非不能體恤我們的軟弱. 他也曾凡事受過試探 , 與我們一樣, 只是他沒有犯罪


所以, 我們只管坦然無懼的來到施恩的寶座前,為要得憐恤,蒙恩惠,作隨時的幫助.     希伯來書4:12-16



For the word of God is LIVING and ACTIVE

Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the FAITH we profess. 

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are- yet was without sin. 

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. 





求 主的道 向孩子顯明 孩子的心思意念

Pruning

Is it the pruning process in my life ?!

Pastor Joel said
" Prune " means something is cut away, something is removed " In other words, maybe a business shut down that you were connected to, or a relationship went a different direction...

God knows what we need in our life in order to grow and flourish. Sometimes when things happen that we don't understand, we have to just trust that He is working behind the scenes preparing you for increase, preparing us to go to another level.

Don't put a question mark where God has placed a period.

When you're going through transition, don't get bitter. ( it is pretty hard not to get bitter ....)
Don't get down and think it's the end. ( it took a long time to think 'it's not the end of the world.... )
Don't start thinking that you're a failure. ( I indeed thought that I failed in this relationship .... )

Have the attitude, "God, I let this go knowing that it was only temporary provision, and what You have in my future will be greater than what Im letting go of"

If you will accept the change and stay in faith, God will open new doors.
He will bring new opportunities, new friendships, and take you to another level of His glory!
********************
" He cuts off every branch in my that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful" John 15:2 


你受的鞭傷,我得醫治;你受的刑罰,我得平安.
Healing from Father God is perfect.
I can choose to release things I don't understand into God's hands.
I choose to believe that God is working behind the scenes on my behalf.
I choose to believe that God has good things in store for my future.

放下心中所愛
尋見神所喜愛
神是良善美好
所賜無限上好

Steps

non-stop working for 11 hours .... 

Ive been thinking what's my next step as I was working on re-ticketing on client's goods whole day today .... why I stay in England .... why I not stay in Taiwan .... 

And then ... 

“In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps”  
Proverbs 16:9, NIV

Pastor Joel's message follow with God's words , 
They needed water and God told Moses to strike the rock. He struck the rock and water flowed out freely. Another time they needed water again, and God told Moses, "SPEAK to the rock.” 
But He went over and struck the rock. 
He thought, “Hey, it worked last time. It’ll work this time.” But it didn’t. God had a different plan.

The point is that we have to stay open and make adjustments to stay in tune with God’s plan. 
Sometimes a small tweak, a small adjustment can make a major difference in the outcome.

LISTEN to the voice of the Holy Spirit of God inside. FOLLOW His leading and STAY IN SYNC with the wonderful plan He has for you!


***********
Daily Bread is the same as Joel's message ...


民數記
20:7 耶和華曉諭摩西說:
20:8 「你拿著杖去,和你的哥哥亞倫招聚會眾,在他們眼前吩咐磐石發出水來,水就從磐石流出,給會眾和他們的牲畜喝。」
20:9 於是摩西照耶和華所吩咐的,從耶和華面前取了杖去。
20:10 摩西、亞倫就招聚會眾到磐石前。摩西說:「你們這些背叛的人聽我說:我為你們使水從這磐石中流出來嗎?」
20:11 摩西舉手,用杖擊打磐石兩下,就有許多水流出來,會眾和他們的牲畜都喝了。
20:12 耶和華對摩西、亞倫說:「因為你們不信我,在以色列人眼前尊我為聖,所以你們必不得領這會眾進我所賜給他們的地去。」
20:13 這水名叫米利巴水(米利巴就是爭鬧的意思),是因以色列人向耶和華爭鬧,耶和華就在他們面前顯為聖。 









Prayer :

Father God, help me to see clearly what your plan is for me ; help me to stay close to you always ..
help me not to stay in the past, but pressing forward to the new things you have in store for me ...

Free from fear

我的恐懼

過去一年,我似乎都被恐懼環繞,被困在其中

謝謝主,  在台灣的時候, good tv 的 信息分享/禱告/詩歌,
好幾次讓我感動流淚

回到英國 , good tv 裡的 詩歌/講道/禱告
成為我生活的一部份

讓我可以時時一起跟台灣的弟兄姊妹們一起禱告






今天的靈命日糧 讓我不斷反覆默想 神的話,

我曾尋求耶和華,他就應允我,救我脫離一切的恐懼
仰望他的,便有光榮;他們的臉必不蒙羞

我這困苦人呼求,耶和華便垂聽,救我脫離一切患難。
耶和華的使者在敬畏他的人四圍安營,搭救他們。

你們要嘗嘗主恩的滋味,便知道他是美善;投靠他的人有福了!

耶和華的聖民哪,你們當敬畏他,因敬畏他的一無所缺
少壯獅子還缺食忍餓,但尋求耶和華的甚麼好處都不缺

詩篇 34:4-10

19.2.12

The New Has Come

“ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is new creation; the old has gone, the new has come"  ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 )

Pastor Joel said Remember today that the new has come. It's a new year with new opportunities, and it's time for you to be the new you. 

Let this be the year that you moved forward into a new life of victory. 

Let this be the year that you take hold of all the spiritual blessing the Lord has promised - peace, health, protection and victory. 

Choose today to leave the old behind - old behaviors, old thinking, old words - embrace the new by FAITH

Because this is your year to experience the new life that He has prepared for you!

Prayer 
Father God I choose to leave behind the old life
I ask that you empower me by your Spirit 
Help me to open my eyes, understand your plan 
and know the truth of your WORD that sets me FREE

生命中的異象

有異象才有對象


尋求  神在你生命中的使命(異象)

神在我的生命中有計畫, 因為我是為祂造的,
求主幫助我能清楚的明白知道祂在我生命中的使命和服事的工廠 

歌羅西書
1:14我們在愛子裏得蒙救贖、罪過得以赦免。 
1:15愛子是那不能看見之 神的像、是首生的、在一切被造的以先. 
1:16因為萬有都是靠他造的、無論是天上的、地上的、能看見的、不能看見的、或是有位的、主治的、執政的、掌權的、一概都是藉著他造的、又是為他造的. 
1:17他在萬有之先.萬有也靠他而立。 
1:18他也是教會全體之首.他是元始、是從死裏首先復生的、使他可以在凡事居首位。



為何結婚?


   神設立婚姻是為了   神的兒女在婚姻裡去榮耀並見證  神和我們的關係


求主幫助我忘記背後,打開心房, 在   神的愛裡去回應   神對我婚姻的乎召


求主剛強我對神在我婚姻上的信心, 
求主幫助我專一跟隨   神, 並全心順服   神的帶領 --  “耶 和 華   神 就 用 那 人 身 上 所 取 的 肋 骨 、 造 成 一 個 女 人 、 領 他 到 那 人 跟 前 。“ 創世紀2:22




預備自己


不住的禱告 恆切的禱告 --
讓自己的心意更新而變化, 摸著  神善良純全可喜悅的心意


求主幫助我預備自己成為一位合神心意的妻子

18.2.12

專一跟從


民數記 
14:8
耶和華若喜悅我們,就必將我們領進那地,
把地給我們;那地原是流奶與蜜之地。

14:9
但你們不可背叛耶和華,也不要怕那地的居民; 


民數記 14:18
『耶和華不輕易發怒,並有豐盛的慈愛,赦免罪孽和過犯;
萬不以有罪的為無罪,必追討他的罪,自父及子,直到三、四代。』

民數記 14:24
惟獨我的僕人迦勒,
因他另有一個心志
專一跟從我
我就把他領進他所去過的那地;
他的後裔也必得那地為業。

民數記 14:41-43
摩西說:「你們為何違背耶和華的命令呢?這事不能順利了。
不要上去;因為耶和華在你們中間,恐怕你們被仇敵殺敗了。
亞瑪力人和迦南人都在你們面前,你們必倒在刀下;
因你們退回不跟從耶和華,所以他必與你們同在。」




默想

我們行事為人是憑著信心,不是憑著眼見
哥林多後書 5:7

Changing the way you think

Do not copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by CHANGING THE WAY YOU THINK.
Then you will learn to know God's will for you, 
which is GOOD and 
                          PLEASING and PERFECT

Romans 12:2 

There is no setback you can face in life that
God doesn't already have a comeback plan for


Change your thinking and invite God to transform your life

God's purposes and plans are so much greater than any mistake or setback from your past.



For I can do everything through Christ,  who gives me strength. 
Philippians 4:13
