Redemption Draws Near

Shalom,

What a way to start the week!

It was this morning (Tuesday), while I was watching Pastor's YouTube- God's Glory Unveiled In The Last Days, which he preached on the 20th March 2011 (9 days after Japan 9.0 Quake), one of his verse captured my attention.
And that was Luke 21:28,

²⁸Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

And on this moment, I realised that despite the major earthquake happened some two weeks back, GOD is still assuring us of HIS mercies! 


Okay, let's see it in point form:-


1) The Japan major earthquake happened on 11th March 2011
2) Pastor preached on Luke 21:28 on 20th March 2011
3) Another earthquake hit Myanmar on 24th March 2011
4) Saw the Rainbow on 27th March 2011 (P/s, Rock Auditorium directly below it)

5) Further tremors in various countries reported after 27th March 2011


It seems that from the points above, Point Number 1 is referring to the verse of Luke 21:28- "When these things begin to happen".

I rest, rejoice and be glad in it not as a believer only but a BELIEVING BELIEVER! 

For we being HIS beloved children, GOD came in to intervene and HE has lifted up HIS standard against all these things for you and I! 


HALLELUJAH, REJOICE!

Co-incidence or God-incidence?

Shalom in the name of Jesus Christ.

I want to share the recent experiences I had.

The first happened on Saturday. As out of the blue, i recited “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”. Then on Sunday service, Pastor Lian also mentioned this verse! 

The "GOD-incidence" of this verse within Saturday and Sunday kept me thinking, GOD is listening! 

The second experience is really an Up-Close-Personal touch whereby Pastor Lian was leading us to lift one hand and to clench the other into a fist position. She asked us to throw all our cares, our concerns, our worries, our debts, our sicknesses, our transgressions, our sins and our iniquities unto this fist. 

With the worship songs "Believe" humming on the background, she asked us to bring forth this fist and put it at the cross where our LORD JESUS was nailed to.

My dear brethren, this is where I encountered something which I never experienced in the past.....

The very moment I put my fist and opened it unto the cross. I saw JESUS lifted HIS eyes to heaven and says out: "It is done!". Then JESUS closed HIS eyes, bow HIS head and HE rest! 

Wow, of so many times we casted our cares unto the cross. I have never seen this but just when I recited Luke 9:58 a day before, and Pastor Lian uses this verse earlier, I saw ABBA DADDY finally found place to lay HIS  head!! 

Best of all, HE ensures me with HIS words: "It is done!". Notice the main word here is not "finished" but "done", how not to proclaim all my cares, worries & every single bad curses have been dealt with, by my LORD!! Hallelujah!

AMEN Father, Praises to the LORD whom opened HIS doors and flooded me with HIS blessings where I could not find enough room to store all; GOD always blesses us with boat-sinking, net-breaking, loads full of rewards!

Thank GOD for being with us, my brethren, my family, my friends and my neighbors! 

In the wonderful name of JESUS,

AMEN.

Rainbow Mentality

Shalom,

Today, I witnessed something very valuable. And I must stress, I never seen anything so fast, so sudden and so clear...

It all started at around 4:27 pm when the sky suddenly became dark, the wind began howling so furiously, and the rain follows.
It was over within a minute!
As I look out of the window, I saw it! It was so near, so fresh and so clear!

I haven't seen a rainbow eversince the day (which I Blogged here) when Mr. Obama was being elected as the USA President! Since then till now, we witnessed the World Economic Credit Crunch and the European Countries facing crisis.....

But today, when the world seems darker as each day passes by, the economic crisis wind howling and pouring, HE is always watching over us. Jesus is on the throne and HE will never forsake us!

And during this rainbow moment, these verses rang through me:-
**Psalm 91:1, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
&
Psalm 23:6, Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. **
And my dear brethren, it was so clear & respectively in sequence.

I pray you be blessed with 91:1 and 23:6 too!

Praise the wonderful name of our Almighty Jesus!

Deu 28:8 & out of Deu 28:20....

Deu 28:8 & out of Deu 28:20....

by Lorenzo Chia on Sunday, 22 August 2010 at 00:46

Deu 28:20 “The Lord will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken Me.

Nope, OVERRULED again & again!

Gal 3:13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),

Because of I m the beloved son of Christ, He has taken up my curse of the law! PTL!

Therefore, i can only be blessed w/o any curse! I boldly proclaim Deu 28:8 “The Lord will command the blessing on us in our storehouses and in all to which We set our hand, and He will bless us in the land which the Lord our God is giving us."

Hallelujah, Rejoice!

Significance of Galatians 3:13

Ps telling us Galatians 3:13: Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"). And that the curse here is on Deuteronomy 28!

I've been reading Deuteronomy 28 from " 

³ You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

⁴ The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the    young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

 ⁵ Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

 ⁶ You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

 ⁷ The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

 ⁸ The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.

 ⁹ The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in his ways. ¹⁰ Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you. 

¹¹ The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your forefathers to give you.

 ¹² The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. 

¹³ The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.

All the above have been the blessings, why Ps always relate the curses Jesus Christ redeemed us in Galatians 3:13 to here. Thus, I always couldn't comprehend and live the ways and acknowledge my life. And whenever I saw the blessings of someone else, I questioned myself, why am I not enjoying good results from the blessings. The more I questioned, the deeper my doubts as in if I am believing right...

Yesterday, while listening to one of Ps sermon he preached during 2006 or 2007, the Lord had me inclined my ear into one of Ps sentence in regards to Deuteronomy 28! This is where I got it! 

You see, my problem is whenever I read Deuteronomy 28, I confessed the first 13 verses on Lord's blessings. The moment it touches on the Lord's curses from 15-68, I closed the book, refusing to further read it. As I always feels that if I don't know anything about the Lord's curses, I will not receive it! 

How wrong was I? You see, by closing on Deuteronomy 28:15 onwards, I closes my understanding on what (curses) Christ has redeemed me from in Galatians 3:13! 

And I clearly hear the Holy Spirit speaking to me: "Son, you are not getting it, you are avoiding it!" And by avoiding it, I've acknowledged the curses not knowingly!

Now that I know, and since, Deuteronomy 28, verse 15 onward is about curse of the law, I shall boldly face and reject these curses in the law's way! Every curses from verse 15 onward shall be "over-ruled" through Galatians 3:13, through Jesus's way! 

From now on, I will overrule every curses and I look forward to the blessings in:-

1) In every cities, in every countries,

2) Fruitful in my womb, my crops, my livestocks, my herds, my flocks,

3) Basketful in my kneading bowls

4) Enemies, defeated before me, came in one way and flee n seven ways before me,

5) Every barns through my hands be full of good results, my lands will be frutiful,

6) Making me strong, happy, free of diseases,

7) Making me healthy and lively

8) Everywhere I am, shall be fruitful, prospers, full of grace from heaven,

9) With good seasonal produced environment, 

10) Every situation will be a win-win situations,

11) Free of pest's disturbances,

12) Be of good functioning body, silky skin,

13) Be of sound mind, good vision, cheerful living hearts,

14) Angels surrounding me in everywhere I goes,

15) Happy and strong family,

16) All fruits be for own consumptions,

17) Children happily and wisely taken care of,

18) Be acknowledged and approval from worldwide under the God's sight,

19) Shalom peace of mind and not out of mind,

20) Good and healthy body parts from crown of my head to the sole of my feets,

21) No demon nor devil can affect me nor my mind,

22) Of good names and wisdom granted to me by the Lord,

23) Everything I touched on, shall prospers,

24) Ability to enjoy my fruits,

25) Full of anointing,

Lord Jesus, bring it on and from now on, I will not avoid anything but overcome everything in Jesus name!

Thank You Lord Jesus.

AMEN!

I need to pen this down as a remembrance... 

Yesterday, while getting ready to send my little 6 years old to school in the morning, I adjusted his collar. Next thing I knew was that my little Xylon boy did the same to mine as he also saw mine wasn't right!

For a moment, breathing his presence and his hands moving my collar was so touched! It is almost simultaneously his little action took place and the warm feels me! 

This is where I remember how our Lord wanna us to keep Him in remembrance in every minor little things. Little things like adjusting Daddy's collar can triggers the affectionate loves and bonding between Father and Son.....

O, how it coincides with Pastor's recent preaching on God is not forgetful, but He simply enjoy our communications (little action)! 

The flow is strong and I am enjoying His presence with great joy and I know, I am surrounded by His multitudes of loves.....

Thank You Lord, and thank You for not sparing Your only begotten Son to the cross, so that we who were unworthy, be made qualified for Your uncanning loves! 

Praise the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

AMEN!

I m blessed to be of blessings

Shalom,

God is really great.. not only 1st FA was in, last two weeks. On 13 & 14 May, the 2nd & 3rd FA came in consecutively. His blessings broke the veil & stormed in, even b4 I can bring the 1st FA back to His storehouse! Hallelujah!
As Pastor was still enjoying his brithday celebration with Wendy & Jessica, Ps Lian took over the Pull-Pit on Sunday! I must admire Ps Lian for giving all of us wonderful washings on our feets through a simple word- "Water". Yes, dust off our feets and have the daily water to continue cleaning us through His words!

One of her phrase captured me and that is "I m blessed to be of blessings"!

Hallelujah, God always superabundantly answered our prayers. Yesterday, boss passed me a stack of S$50 notes. It was a sharing of his lottery strike last weekend (which I didn't participate or even know)!
P/s, B4 under Christ mighty grace, I used to chase after these (4D, Toto & BIG Sweep) winnings. But now, these blessings constantly hunt me down while I go after Jesus Christ! PTL, this came in time for my vehicle insurance renewal which is around that amount of money!

Today, I began to pay off part of my many debts with the blessings from Abba Jesus. But I am looking forward to His storehouse again this weekend, my heart is all after Him with His Shalom Peace comforting me in all my situations!

Jesus, Your grace has raised me up.

Jesus, Your truth has set me free!

Jesus, Your loving-Kindness is good,
Jesus, Your multitudes of tender mercies are mine.
Jesus, bless me to be of blessings!

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen & Amen!
