IT'S TIME TO CHANGE!!!!!

ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE….

Shallom and Greetings…in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It has been long time since the last I posted my article here. Anyway, we have come to the end of year 2008. Just few more days more to go…. Many things have happen in this past 6 months… well yeah things that way out of my mind… and I never thought that it will be so soon… ;) but Praise the Lord… He meant it for good as it is written in Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose”. Well then… as I said many things have happened this past 6 months…. Well and now I am writing here after long period of break…

Well as clearly stated above…my title… well indeed it’s a time for a change… Amen… in Isaiah 43:19 says… “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert”. This has been my very focus to forget what has happened in the past and focus upon what God has installed for me in future as written in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”. Beginning of this year 2008, God spoke to me from Isaiah 43:18-19. Its all abt new beginning that He wants to start doing in my life … and I am glad n grateful that the Lord has chosen me for this very purpose. Life now is different after I have obeyed the Lord’s calling and to serve Him fulltime. Every one of you knows abt the 40 days fasting I took… u can read on my previous message … Through out that fasting and praying period… God spoke to all abt going into fulltime and serving… well… I was quite stubborn ..to be honest… As soon as I finished fasting.. I applied for another job… everything went well… but at the final interview… things were messed up for good… hehe I was so frustrated with God of why He has to do it like that. Then God spoke to me clearly saying “ Why are you so troubled and frustrated because of not getting that job…and is that job more important to you than what I have done for you?” It was like a direct slapped on my face! His presence was so real and touched me and opens up my eyes… God reminds me abt the promise I made to Him… in 2001. And now… after 8 years, God choose this year 2008 to do a new thing in my life. FYI, the number 8, in the Hebrew is a symbol of new beginning.

Not only for me… I believe for those who are reading this article… I am pretty sure that this year was a new beginning for you as well. The reason I am saying that its time to change is because if we continue to just stand upon His promises and wait there nothing is going to happen unless and until we walk in His promises… We need to change the way we think and do things. Our attitude decides what we become.

In the process of a renewal or change, there will be new challenges in our life that brings out a new revelation of God. A new revelation leads to innovation which means we have to change the pattern or the style in serving the Lord… just the change the way we do things… Innovation just simply means to innovate or to bring a new understanding… we are to give the world that is lost now… a new understanding of who Jesus is… its just the method is same…. The message is same but in a different way or style. This new innovation will lead us into possession of encountering God in unfamiliar ways. Ways where we never encounter God before.
We got to get out of our traditionalised mentality where we only think what is in the box and not outside of the box. Well to be honest Malaysians have been brought up in a way where : “I will only mixed around with my race and will be more careful when I mix around with another race” We have to change this mentality. When God can use a Black man (Barrack Obama) to bring changes in US, its time for us to move according the waves of change that God is bringing now. We have to change the thinking pattern and come to a realisation that we are Malaysians, “Bangsa Malaysia” which is the one and only race … not Malaysia Malay or Malaysian Chinese or Malaysian Indian, but be proud enough to say that you are a Malaysian. Anyway, why did I get to there… hehehe… so well God has stated clearly in Joshua 3:5 And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you”. Let God to sanctify us and clean us up for the new thing, a brand new work, a change in our life. The question is are we willing to surrender to God all of our ambition and will and just focused upon the Lords will. And promised by the Lord in Joshua 5:9 Then the Lord said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." Well in Bahasa Indonesia translation of this word literary means God has destroyed the old self of our flesh and He is putting on us a new wine skin. One thing we must understand that is, what is the purpose of the Lord’s calling upon our life and what is the Will of God upon this calling?

This year as I stated above… God has begun many new things in my life personally, and God has promised me that next year He will establish the things that He has began this year… I personally believe that next year is a year of establishment! God will establish the things that He has started in our life… if only we obey and do as what God has spoken. Then through our walk with God, He will change us, mould us refine us according to His will and His purpose that which He has called us. As the psalmist David says in Psalms 139:23-24 “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” Let us allow God to search our hearts even before this year ends. Let there be changes taking place in our lives as God remove, cleanse and do the operation that He needs to do in our life so that there may be changes in our lives and for the things that God has started in our lives, He will establish it in this coming year 2009.

Have a Blessed Christmas and A Blessed New Year 2009.




In Christ,

Be Still and Know tha He is God!

Shalom and greetings.... its been a long time... well i receive this from a friend of mine, do read it as this liltle word of encouragement has encouraged me!

Be still in times of trouble
by Daphne Pereira

Are you facing hard times, trials or persecution today? Are you where you are today by your own strength or ordained by God? If you are where you are today is ordained by God in His plans for you and you are facing difficult times - stop, be still!

Exodus 14:13-14 "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. ........... The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."


David refrained from killing King Saul when he had the opportunity because King Saul was ordained by God to be king and David knew he could not touch King Saul. 1 Samuel 24:6-7 He said to his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the LORD's anointed, or lift my hand against him; for he is the anointed of the LORD." With these words David rebuked his men and did not allow them to attack Saul.

David entrusted God to deliver him from King Saul. In 2 Samuel 12:7 "......This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul...."

Jeremiah 1: 19 " They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD."

Be still. Trust in the Lord. Stand firm and hold your head high as you stand in the place where God has ordained your steps to be. The Lord will fight the battle (oppositions, persecutions, hostility from people) for you. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. Amen.

A short skit...yet meaningful...performed by Harvest Revival Center (H.R.C) Mens Fellowship on 9th December 2007.....

The story line of the skit.....


God created man… and he was happy for it… and He breathe in to the man... God was enjoying the fellowship with human as He pours out His love towards the human being He created… and He even feeds them…And man fall in to the sinful world and God was separated from Human… and man was indulging in sinful life…and yet God was trying to bring back the human that He created to his first love…The Human was so confused… and it seems everything the human tried was failing… and has fallen to the lies of the devil….. Ending up in committing suicide… the human tried to fight back against the devil… but the human was not strong enough to defeat the devil … the human think that God has abandon him.. Human tried to get back to God… but the sins of his life is holding him back from getting closer to God again… and yet God was there…trying to bring back the human to Him .... And finally God intervened and bore the sins of the man… and set the man free from all the bondages’ of his sins… as the human repented of his sin with no condemnation ... Satan was defeated by the death of Jesus Christ on the cross and bore the sins of the world and human was connected again to God and enjoyed the first love……


Hope the skit below will b a blessing to u and minister u....





In Christ,
