Random Nuggets

I'm a history student so i really like to take down a chronological account of my life... that's something i didn't quite do last week and early this week cos have been doing stuff... that's why all my blog entries of what the Lord has been speaking is more theme-based rather than chronology based... so i just wanna write down some of the stuff that has been happening and what God has been impressing upon me in a more chronological order...

Sunday 27 May
At the Global Day of Prayer... The Lord was showing me another strategy to deal with guilt... Instead of surrendering something to Him, we should surrender to Him.. to the Holy Spirit... cos many times, we become judgmental on ourselves and the guilt remains even after we surrendered an issue to Him... but surrendering to Him means taking up His mindset, the way He sees things, the way He looks at us and the way He processes them... And when we have His perspective and when He takes over, we won't judge and condemn ourselves anymore... cos the purging work is entirely His... and we're left with and understanding of His grace and His desire to refine us and make us more like Jesus...

Mon to Fri, 28 May to 1 June
Glory Encounter. The Lord also highlighted to me more ways to deal with guilt... from turning to Luke 15 and the parable of the prodigal son... too much to blog about lah... but it's deposited in my spirit.. and on that Tuesday, the Lord gave me a verse to deal with guilty thoughts... Psalm 3:3 "But you are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head." One of the hallmarks of a person suffering from guilt attacks is a lowered head, a head lowered in shame and condemnation... but God is the lifter of our heads and He is a shield around us to block off guilt atacks coming from the evil one, the accuser of the brethren... Ok... things that caught my attention was that sign outside of the paces in Bugis saying "You can fly".. and the other thing was when i saw a taxi and the sign said "change" and "shift".. and i knew that God was using these small things to comfirm what He wants to do... :D

Thursday 31 May
Teachers Retreat. Pastor Au's wife, Aunt May was our guest speaker... and she was really nice.. the message that she shared was really accurate for the kairos season and it's something that tallies with what the Lord has already been spaying throughout the year... She also prayed for me and the personal message she delivered was really accurate.. and i really thank God for it.. and i'm really excited.. cos one of the things that she said was that my time has not yet come... and the reason i'm so excited about that is that cos if my time has not yet come and i'm already walking in so much of a revelation of who God is, then what more when my time does come! That really blows my mind! Anyway, the Lord gave me two things to share with the teachers... the first was a word concerning submission.. sbmission to Auntie Ivy, the head of the ministry... The second thing that the Lord impressed upon me was the phrase "Let God arise" and i knew it was for those who feel inadequate about serving in ministry... cos the Lord has been calling us to arise again and again... but all we have to do is let God arise in us.. we dun have to worry cos He'll be the One that's gonna be doing the arising within us... all we have to do is to yield and surrender to Him... :)

Saturday 2 June
Spent time resting in God in the morning... went for worship prac and youth service in the afternoon. Uncle Paul finished his sharing by saying that some of has have got our priorities wrong and that we have to come back to God... and that totally falls in line with the Kingdom Shift that God is bringing about... had briefing with the games ppl quickly after service and i'm kinda impressed by their initiative in doing games stuff... QQ came for service and we all had dinner...

Sunday 3 June
Got to spend a considerable time sleeping cos of combined service and cos no new team.. i kinda dreamt that there was some portal in a dark sky and from that portal was coming forth golden light.. and there was also a golden cross, bearing the same golden light, that appeared up there, coming from that portal... dunno what that's all about... woke up and went for service... went upstairs to sit in CC and den went for 2nd liners cell where Noel was talking about what prevents us from sharing Christ with others... for me it was the fear of man.. fear of rejection.. cos i'm naturally shy by nature.. i figured that i'm really an introvert... and the fact that i can stand b4 ppl and talk about the Word of God is really God's grace in itself... den after cell, went for lunch..and found out that Uncle Tan is from SA! And he was telling me that last time sa junior school was next to the museum.. so that explains the story about David Marshall's migration... it all makes sense now! ok anyway, went for choir... by the Lord's grace, managed to learn a few more parts... den went to watch Pirates 3 at Plaza Sing...

Monday 4 June
Did some work in church in the evening preparing for CC Camp... And the Lord helped me to prepare the gospel message.. and while doing so, my heart was already burning to deliver it to the children during the camp... :D

Tuesday 5 June
Finally got all the chords sent out.. and when i was preparing them, likewise i felt something inside of me.. like a sense of expectation brewing for what God's gonna do during the camp! When i was at AMK Hub waiting for a bus, i turned to see a sign on a bus as if it was one of those divinely-inspired moments and i saw the word "breakthrough" on that bus... it was another confirmation of what the Lord is doing! :D Hallelujah! Praise the Lord... :D

Wednesday 6 June
Decided to rest today... last night, my spirit was kinda praying and expecting God for a visitation... And He knows how much i want it... :)

God bless! :)
