Reading my Rainbow Bible. Ps119:13 is noted to be related to Ps40:9 in the notes. So I read and I realise the latter verse clarifies the earlier one. Ps119:13 talks about recounting ALL the laws that come from God's mouth. Ps 40:9- tells us what the laws that come out from God's mouth is... Not the Ten Commandments as most will assume it to be! "I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly, I do not seal my lips." Proclaim THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST! GRACE GRACE! :D

I walked Kae to school today and when I came back, washed dishes for breakfast. When I was finally done, I entered our room and found Noah sitting up- quiet and smiling. Waiting expectantly for his mummy. :)

“I believe in miracles and mostly I believe in love, God’s love—big, extravagant, unconditional. His love moves mountains and changes the world, love that is freely given, that we may also freely give it to others.” - Katie J. Davis

21/0/2013 Sermon notes - Ps Joseph Primce, New Creation Church

Sister served time in prison and started work with no guarantee of a perm job after her contract. She started attending New Crea. Received word she had gotten the full time position. But the company HR initially rejected her but they later accepted her on a probation & her pay is 23% higher than her part time contract pay. A brother from Virginia was saved since 7yo but never led a good Christian life. Gave up. Later watched PP's sermon. Wondered why he had not received healing in lower right back. Just then, PP said healing happening for someone w pain in lower right back! He received the healing right there and then. No more pain. Note video not live but healing took place. ---- sermon starts God wants you healed more than you want to be healed. Loves that we are healed. Jesus ministry- healed all who were oppressed by the devil. Sickness is oppression. If u seen me, u have seen the Father. Jesus healed all. God wants all healed too. The thought God wants me well= path

and then he told me, My grace is enough; it's all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness. Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ's strength moving in on my weakness. - 2 Co 12:9

Yeshua was 33 when He gave His life up for us on the Cross. Job 33 clearly talks about Him. Job's name means 'He who turns'. He who turns 33 (Job 33) speaks of our Messiah. :)

No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he'll never let you be pushed past your limit; he'll always be there to help you come through it. 1 Co 10:13 >> How true! He doesn't let us down and although He allows testing from the devil, it is not to torture or to punish us- if it were, He would not help us overcome or give us a means to escape. There is a hedge of protection established around us that the devil cannot penetrate unless our own free will - ie. wrong believing and speaking negatively, sees us stepping outside of that hedge and into the wilderness (aka falling from grace). The devil's weapons are fear, guilt and condemnation. This leads to negative confession and receiving the wrong outcomes due to our wrong understanding of the Word. This is not something Daddy God can prevent due to the gift of free will we have been given, but He always sends people to edify us, to speak over us, to intercede for us, to clarify to us, to share with. We learn how others have encountered similar challenges- how they got out of them and were restored and recompensed for their trouble. These walking testimonies (and more importantly, His Word!) are divine tools or weapons He sends our wav to do battle with the enemy. Now it is up to us to choose to believe the good being prophesised over us and His unconditional love plus unmerited favour over our lives- that is choosing to step back into that hedge of protection, of saying we surrender the battle to the LORD because the battle belongs to Him. Job acknowledged that all his merit earning, all his sacrifices were as Paul puts it, "like filthy rags"; they reeked of self effort, ego (I did this, I did that so why God why?). It was this aspect of him that allowed the attack to take place. And when he surrendered and let the LORD take over by admitting I cannot but You can, I dunno but You do, that was when restoration took place, when he was restored to an even better position than when he came under the attack. This is because when Daddy God wins the victory, He does not just carely win it; it is a resounding victory! When Jesus, our advocate, thrashes the accuser, the devil, at his own game, he doesn't just win the case for us, He justly wins us compensation and rewards above and beyond our imagination. =)

Today, my meditation is Ephesians 3's prayer: Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Such a rich verse to meditate on. So full of His goodness and the Father's heart for us. =D

The secret to successful relationships is living from completeness, not from deficiency. - Judah Smith My reflection: Jesus completes us. We keep believing and hoping confidently (not wondering if He will, but knowing He will) because His is a PERFECT and FINISHED work. And the Word says when The Complete comes, the incomplete has to flee. When Jesus enters into a circumstance of you, whatever is broken, whatever is empty, whatever is not will be whole because Jesus is. He is the Word that spoke being into existence. He is the Word that is the same yesterday, today and forever. =)

Say the welcoming word to God--"Jesus is my Master"--embracing, body and soul, God's work of doing in us what he did in raising Jesus from the dead. That's it. You're not "doing" anything; you're simply calling out to God, trusting him to do it for you. That's salvation. ---> Rom 10:9

God didn’t come w a condition. Loving them unconditionally they will respond- what he believes. I’ll take your shame and you take my glory. I take that crown of thorn (thoughts that trouble you) and you take my crown of peace. The more u try to find your approval from people, u will go around in circles. Don’t let men’s praise elate u or their criticisms crush u- look to Jesus. Girl w torn tendon that doc said will not completely heal.

14/7/2013 Sermon Notes - Pastor Prince

14/7/2013 Sermon Notes - Pastor Joseph Prince First half of today’s sermon notes is courtesy of Alphonse’s notes as I was late. Will later replace with my notes after I hear the audio recording of the sermon which I will purchase next Sunday :) Sorry. - Opening of the book of Luke: Zechariah (God remembers) & Elizabeth (His promises) visited John (grace) - The worst sin is self-righteousness. Man was trying to do what we already are in Christ. Job 1:5 - Job wasn’t resting in the finished work, but he was so sin-conscious, he became self-righteous and fearful. - Job was fearful of condemnation. He was offering sacrifice out of fear instead of out of His love and grace for us. - God has found a ransom to die for our sins and paid for our redemption. He is not pitiful, merciful in making us righteous. He was righteous in making us righteous. - Stand before God as our justifier not our judge. Be the judge and we cannot be saved. God justifies us and we cannot be lost. - When we fee

Chewing on the Proverbs (part 1 of Proverbs 1 study)

Our 11 year old son and I are both doing our own quiet time bible studies on the Book of Proverbs in tandem with each other. We then come together to share what we have gleaned. Initially, I wanted to look at Proverbs 1 on the first day and then by the end of the month, we will end at Proverbs 31. However, the book of Proverbs is a real spiritual chewing gum =) We found ourselves diving into Proverbs 1 and finding how deep and beautiful it is. Here are some of my notes from just the first 7 verses of Proverbs1. =) Will add more later as our two year old is clamouring for some attention right now =D Hope this blesses you. =) Proverbs 1:1-7  Reflections The start of the Book of Proverbs tells us how it is full of truths that are obscured- hidden from those who do not have a heart to pursue Wisdom. This made me call to mind the parables as well as how Jesus is concealed in the Old Testament and revealed in the New Testament. It is good to recall that Jesus and Wisdom are one and
