I see the king of glory
Coming down the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes, the whole earth shakes
I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing, the people sing
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest
I see a generation
Rising up to take the place
With selfless faith, with selfless faith
I see a new revival
Stiring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees, we're on our knees
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what is yours
Everything I am for your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity
i have 'stuff', you have 'stuff', we all got 'stuff' - Reggie Dabbs
and if we're sick and tired of being sick and tired, is to let go, and let God - Nubian Gents

the truth will set us free
for we wrestle not against flesh and blood
but against principalities,
for the battle's not with others
it is fought in the heavenlies.
We are on the winning side
and the battle is the Lord's,
no weapon formed against us now
shall prosper says the Lord!
The truth shall set us free
The truth shall set us free
The Lord if life, He's the Truth, the Way,
The truth shall set us free!
Declaring the truth sets me FREEEEE.... setting me free is cos He's the WAY, and TRUTH and LIFE and he MAKES ME WHOLE!!
Jesus' blood that was shed for us was not shed for us in vain. He wanted to do it. He wants us to know that he loves us so much that He would do anything for us to be made whole again.
* picture of Jesus walking thru the crowd and the most desperate and in need and want of Him, was healed as they 'touched' Him simply cos they BELIEVED HE WAS THE TRUTH.

not just church..
we have non stop singing, mad dancing, flags flying, flutes and drums and horns blowing and banging.... but most of all..... god's awesome awesome presence.
smtimes i wonder if going back to singapore will make it any different. i remember the time in YC we should to jump and dance around and sing.... not cause it was any conformity but cos.... maybe there was a lot more freedom and passion? but....... im sure the passion hasn't 'died down'. it'll be wrong of me to assume so just cos i havent been back.
why then, do i dance and sing? and why then and when would i dare to be 'undignified' than 'this'?
COS its his first commandment!!!
Deutoronomy 6:5 reads "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength."
and
Mark 12:30 reads "And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment."
so, repeated over and over again in the old and new testament, it must have be the first and foremost commandment since the time of adam, eve, noah, abraham and moses! david? oh we dont even have to talk about david! the dancer and singer and player of music in worship..... in this single verse lies the cause of every other commandment and instruction and calling that god would have called of us. cos to love Him with everything we have, really encompasses EVERYTHING! soul (body and will), mind, and strength....all my strength....physically love Him and 'totally going for it' (as chris would say)!!!!
oh god, you just.... totally blow my mind of what i can perceive and what anyone could measure or reason. i am left speechless. i want to be undiginified ALL FOR YOU MY LORD!!!!!!!!!!
and i will do so wherever i am, with whatever im doing...NO double standards...

i will not be moved
it seems much longer than just about 2 to 3 weeks since i last wrote...
but.... its been tough!
and i just read joette's blog and it seems like just about last week, she was having it rather hard too.
THE DEVIL MUST HAVE BEEN PISSED OFF!
James 4
4 Do you not know that being the world's friend is being God's enemy? So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world takes his stand as an enemy of God.
5 Or do you suppose that the Scripture is speaking to no purpose that says, The Spirit Whom He has caused to dwell in us yearns over us and He yearns for the Spirit [to be welcome] with a jealous love?
6 But He gives us more and more grace (power of the Holy Spirit, to meet this evil tendency and all others fully). That is why He says, God sets Himself against the proud and haughty, but gives grace [continually] to the lowly (those who are humble enough to receive it).
7 So be subject to God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him], and he will flee from you.
8 Come close to God and He will come close to you. [Recognize that you are] sinners, get your soiled hands clean; [realize that you have been disloyal] wavering individuals with divided interests, and purify your hearts [of your spiritual adultery].
9 [As you draw near to God] be deeply penitent and grieve, even weep [over your disloyalty]. Let your laughter be turned to grief and your mirth to dejection and heartfelt shame [for your sins].
10 Humble yourselves [feeling very insignificant] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up and make your lives significant].
BUT THE BATTLE HAS BEEN WON! VICTORY IS OURS! I WILL NOT BE MOVED!
Oswald Chambers: Aug 5
"if we are in communion with God and recognise that He is taking us into His purposes, we shall no longer try to find out what His purposes are. As we go on in the Christian life it gets simpler, because we are less inclined to say " now why did God allow this and that ?"
Beind the whole thing lies the compelling of God."
thinking back to 2 weeks ago, at Stillwaters having coffee with God...
it was humbling to to be drawn near to God once again not cause i desperately wanted to know what His plan and purpose for me was.
In lieu of that, He was gently reminding me of His first and greatest and most important plan and purpose for me...to know Him, to Love Him, to enjoy Him, to Trust Him, to be steadfast in Him, to be constantly in awe of Him, to adore Him, to serve Him as He asks me to serve others, to be faithful in the little things before He trusts me with the bigger things.
Come Lord Jesus come.... how my soul longs for more of Thee.
