John 16:33 "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
Many times in this world we live in, we faced hard times, stresses, pressures, we wept,wept,and wept. for some people, even indulge in self-pity.(:
well. i often ask God how to be of good cheer when everything has been so discouraging, so disappointing, so heart-breaking for me. and he revealed..."hope in ME."
Romans 5: 1-5 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character, and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
our emotions are lead by our thoughts. God reveals that in this world, tribulations are inevitable. however what kind of thoughts we have towards our circumstances lead to what kind of emotions we have. we can choose to sulk, feel sorry for ourselves, wake up every morning and mourn. OR we can choose to speak to the mountain, speak to the storms, staying positive, be of good cheer, wake up every morning confessing that we have overcome the world!
God is faithful, in times of troubles, be of GOOD CHEER,you're never alone!(: He will not let you be in tribulations beyond what you can bear. HOPE IN GOD! trust God that he can provide a way out for you.(:

Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.
Ecclesiastes 7:8-9 The end of a thing is better than its beginning; the patient in the spirit is better than the proud in spirit. Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.
A message hit real hard right onto my face. i'm provoked. i feel many many many pinches of pain in my flesh.
But this time, i did not cry. did not flare up. for the reason i'm provoked in the spirit. Everything the message says lies on the truth. i accept it and do reflect on it.
my Daddy God is the truth and the light. all the fear of men has to cease from now. but all the respect and love for men has to start from scratch. i said before. i'm willing to do anything to keep the fire in me burning STRONG. i love God, thats why i want to love even more. I want to use every action to prove every word i've said.
i'm secured in the heart with papa.(: life is full of changes. if i stop changing, i stop growing.
i yearn for more wisdom!

Psalm 73:26 My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
hehe. i was worshipping God during my quiet time.-not as usual. i will not use these two words-"as usual" for every appointment with God. cox for every quiet time, every meeting with my God counts; is significant&unique.(: i was worshipping with the song- GOD of this city, and there reminds me of this verse.. Psalm 84:10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God.
frankly saying, it's never easy to be discipline to attend school in the early hour EVERY SINGLE DAY. by human nature, by human flesh, everybody is unwilling, everyone feels restless about it. by HUMAN NATURE, i detest the things this and that..blablabla. I DUN LIKE TO DO THE THINGS I DETEST. BUT. by SPIRIT NATURE, i love the things i detest. ALL we need is just an encouragement from God, ALL we need is to have this change of mindset of "i" attitude from our flesh, ALL we need is a rhema from God, these in turn become the strength from God to do what we dislike. and we will move to do what is right for us.(even the dislikes) WHAT we dislike to do in human nature will in turn become LOVE TO DO in spirit nature. because we are working and running in the realm of a rhema from God.
truly, i fear, i doubt sometimes in what God has promised too. but courage is not the absence of fear. having faith, doesn't mean no doubts! BUT also rhema becomes the strength and support from God when i fear. but well, it's always A CALL from God away to tune into His courts again whenever doubts sneak into one's mind. i would do anything just to keep the fire in me in everything for God.
Be close to the holy spirit, everything is possible with God alone. for my chinese o'level in 2 days time. i declare i yearn for an A1!(:
i'm not attending morning prayer for mon-fri due to early bridgin hours. BUT guys, i'm together to pray in the morning! i'll wake up as well!(: GOGOGO.PRAYER GIANTS!

Jeremiah 17:10 I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.
As i was praying for this upcoming arise&build season, i was reminded of this verse. This season my Daddy God will be testing all hearts and minds. i strongly believe we all give for a reason. yesh, it is building the house of God, building lifes. BUT on the other hand, we ALL had something real DEEP in our heart, that we are asking Him for to fufill for us. And this season, He is testing the heart and mind to give willingly, to give an amount that is proportional to what we want Him to bless us with. He's not going to bless us with the same measure of what we give Him, but He sees the heart of willingness, and there He will multiply our assets, as well as give us MUCH more than what we've ask for this season. (:
Habakkuk 2:2 "Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.
A season that both visions and dreams will come to a reality. yesh, this season will be tough..but.. Arise in your faith, THINK, DREAM, HAVE FAITH, SPEAK. let's run this vision of the church together! (my vision is written in black and white stated in the heart) i'm prepared, are u?(:
