We can’t move forward to better blessings when our eyes are fixated on the past

“Because salvation is by grace through faith, I believe that among the countless number of people standing in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb, dressed in white robes and holding palms in their hands (see Revelation 7:9), I shall see the prostitute from the Kit-Kat Ranch in Carson City, Nevada, who tearfully told me that she could find no other employment to support her two-year-old son. I shall see the woman who had an abortion and is haunted by guilt and remorse but did the best she could faced with grueling alternatives; the businessman besieged with debt who sold his integrity in a series of desperate transactions; the insecure clergyman addicted to being liked, who never challenged his people from the pulpit and longed for unconditional love; the sexually abused teen molested by his father and now selling his body on the street, who, as he falls asleep each night after his last 'trick', whispers the name of the unknown God he learned about in Sunday school. ...

We have always known ‘Pasach' as passover, but do you know the other ‘pass over’s in Exodus 12? Exodus 12:11 This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the Lord’s Passover. 12 “On that same night I will pass over Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord. 13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over to you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt. God said on the night of the pasach (Passover- the religious festival’s name), He would avar (also pass over) the land of Egypt. He later goes on to further says that when He sees the blood of the lamb upon the door post, He will alekem pass over to you so that no destructive plague shall strike you when He strikes Egypt. Pasach is not just the name of the Jewi...

I have been contributing to : http://graceunited.sg where we post Pastor Prince's notes as a team (so there are 1-3 people who post up sermon notes each week). If you are looking for sermon notes, please check my notes out there along with my friends'. =) Here is a grace reflection that I recently posted on the site: http://graceunited.sg/speak2me/ Speak to me & I am strengthened… MARCH 28, 2014 BY GERI It has been a pretty long week for me with two phone calls from my son’s teachers about his homework and generally me struggling to cope with both being 7m pregnant (and waddling) as well as parenting our 2 boys (12yo and 3yo). In the natural, it is so easy to be tired, cranky, discouraged and frustrated with the various hiccups and bumps that come our way. I know several other mothers of boys who are going to have their PSLE this year who are also tearing their hair out. It isn’t just studies and grades that are making us fed-up, our 12yo boys are also going throu...
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. —2 TIMOTHY 1:7

Now what is food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the Word of God; and here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water passes through a pipe, but considering what we read, pondering it over and applying it to our hearts. - George Muller

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

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
