I doubt that you're 9.

heard so many times about Jesus being in India and Buddhist stuff.

Well, can tell them to try harder.

It's not going to work.

We are indeed given the highest order in creation ranking.

and this is my own personal opinion,

could be a respond by God to Satan's when he thought it was he who should be. (1 Corinthians 1:28)

There's a lot of misunderstanding churned out by the media especially the internet about Christianity and God

There are quarters on purpose mis-quote scripture to suit their agenda.

I've seen a fair share enough to just sigh, shaking my head.

I must stress, people without the spirit of God will not get the same revelation of the Bible like we do.

Because God's word in the Bible is inspired by the spirit of God, hence the reason.

It's not a matter of pride to say this but for proper perspective.

to restore us to that position.

I mean.

and daughters.

haha.

Which is made up of Man and Woman of God.

and the way to do is, is to look away from yourself and to look to Jesus as your true self.

a bit challenging for some. But with continuous effort to trust in the one who will keep us blameless,

it will blossom.

Israel is our God's chosen nation.

We can learn a lot from them because they do hold roots to the ancestry of our Faith.

I have no qualms to uphold them in prayer.

A lot of people do not know, one of the reason for the hatred towards them is because the Devil targets them.

Why the Devil targets Israel?, because Jesus was born as a Jew.

That is why you see the constant attack on Israel by other countries.

I think he meant sensitive because of the continuous subconscious hatred propaganda by local media.

As such it naturally also attached subconscious fear whenever anyone opens their mouth and talk about Israel in Malaysia.

I don't know if anyone notice this thing, but I do feel the propaganda very clearly and thus learn to unblock this sensitive fear by thinking from a wider perspective.

I don't have to submit to this ridiculous fear but talk openly whenever opportunities present itself.

You should spare Allan of Spiritual/theological discussion, jedi, he already faced so much attack in RWi,

I guided him to come here to chill out.

lol.

maybe later when he warmed up to the rest of us.

The power of singing



Good Morning Fellow in Christ,

Just want to share something that will help you in your journey with God.

Today I'm taking lesson from the Book of Isaiah.


Isaiah 54 (NIV)
Sing, O barren woman,
you who never bore a child
burst into song, shout for joy
you who were never in labor
because more are the children of the desolate woman
than of her who has a husband


This barren woman represent any kind of barrenness in your life.

It is not about infertile woman.

It is a picture of lack.

So what do you do when you're down with lack and unproductivity?

God says Sing.

Singing songs of praise and worship and shouting for joy will put forth your Faith in motion to God's favor.

Singing and shouting for joy will cause your day to change for the better because it is part of spiritual warfare.

God moves when Faith abounds. God has designed singing as instrumental to your soul's joy and uplifting.

It is only when you're uplifted, your faith will see beyond the problems that seems insurmountable.

Because you will see that singing can even help you to know that God is with you.

If you continue to see the following verse in Isaiah 54

It says

in verse 4
Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame.
Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated.

in verse 5
For your Maker is your husband—
the Lord Almighty is his name—
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer
he is called the God of all the earth.

in verse 10
Though the mountains be shaken
and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
nor my covenant of peace be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

in verse 17
no weapon forged against you will prevail,

All these starts with you singing.

Hope this will bless your day.


God Bless.

yup, don't worry about how weird it can sound.

For Christians, God's way is always different.

Stand your Ground Part 1 (Spiritual Warfare)




Do you know, Jesus has given us weapon and armour for attacking as well as protection?

Against what you might ask?

Many times we've forgotten, our battle is not against people, but against spiritual principalities. (Ephesians 6:12)

Say what?

Yes. I believe, the very first law of cause and effect always come from the spiritual realm. Or Heavenly realm so to speak. It's never the physical realm that's the cause. What happens in the spiritual realm have implication in the physical realm. It all starts from there.

I realize, ever since I got myself active along with all my brothers in arm (no sisters yet) to actively uphold our Christian fellowship for this whole year, there have been an increase in attack from other quarters as well. Just last week, there's so many threads ridiculing and mocking Christianity and God. RWI is no exception. It's the epitome of mockery.

And it's no surprise because the devil (as usual) does not want people to know who God is. I believe it was he who incited this provocative retaliation. So that people would push God aside through misunderstanding, ignorance and hatred.

So I believe it's only right that all my friends in here know what to do in a spiritual warfare. To fight back, God's way. It is not our responsibility to answer every critic we see on the internet but to seek God and the things of his kingdom so that we grow and be victorious in shinning the light of the gospel unto this dark world. To do that we must know what we have in Christ, our arsenal. When you cut through the evil one in the spiritual realm, likewise the victory will have implication in the natural and physical world as well.

In the Book of Ephesians 6:10-18 talks about our armoury just like modern warfare, only this is the real deal. It's power will cut deep into the enemies territory.

Each piece of Armour mentioned is actually a teaching by itself. It is not per say, an armour which you can pray for to be covered with, Like God's hedge of protection (book of Job) or the blood of Jesus. But you get covered by practising it's principle.

1. The very first piece is the Belt of Truth. (Ephesians 6:14). The belt holds your other armour in place, without it, everything drops. What is the belt of truth? God's word is the belt of truth. You must be established in the word of God. For by it, you will know what is the truth and what are lies and deceit. The Bible also mention Jesus is the truth. (John 14:6) It is interesting to know that grace is a partner to Truth (John 1:17) Jesus makes it so clear in John 8:31-32, that if you continue in the word of God, you will know the truth and it will set you free. So make it a point to read God's word everyday and have this desire to be established in God's word, It will hold all the pieces together and you will be able to stand!

2. The second piece is the Breastplate of Righteousness. I've given so many devotion on righteousness, by now you should know, The new covenant Righteousness is no longer your righteousness but Jesus's righteousness. You must be established by the fact it is Jesus's obedience that makes you righteous not yours. (Romans 5:19) Because when you fall or fail or sin, know that you've been justified by the grace and gift of righteousness not by your works of righteousness. So stand tall. When you are established in knowing this, all the flaming darts of condemnation and guilt cannot hurt you because it will bounce off God's righteousness which He freely gives you. Satan cannot accuse you when it is God who justify. But if you try to come to God through your own obedience or your own effort, Satan will make mince meat out of you because there is no grace through the old testament law. So make sure you know whose righteousness is your breastplate.

3. The third piece is the shoe of the Gospel of Peace. What is this shoe all about? My revelation from God's spirit is this. Walk in peace.
The bible says be anxious for nothing (Philippians 4:6), Do not worry (Matthew 6:25), Let not your heart be troubled (John 14:27). Don't let anything worry or upset you. Colossians 3:15 says Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts. The word rule here has the same meaning as umpire. Let the peace of Jesus, govern your heart. Help you to make decisions with it. When you are established in Jesus's shalom or peace, then as in the passage of Isaiah, (It is interesting to note) in Isaiah 52:7 that says How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace. It is as if God is saying, when you are walking in peace, God will lift you up in High places as on mountains firm and established. And how beautiful it is for those who walk in peace. The devil cannot harassed peaceful Christians. He will just leave you and find others to attack.

There are 3 more pieces (Shield, Helmet and Sword) to be continued.......

I will explained more as well to the meaning of "stand" in the next Part 2.


God Bless.

It's the largest denomination after Catholics.

They have a bishop who ordained pastors and they rotate pastors all over the country.

Doctrine wise, I don't see the difference.

Main Methodist style of worship perhaps a bit old fashioned.

But DUMC is pretty contemporary. Like Hillsong.

This is another good song.



YOU ARE MY FATHER

Verse 1:
It doesn't matter where I run, You're there for me
It doesn't matter what I've done Your love's for me
You wipe away the tears, You lift me when I fall
My life is safe by the mercy of Your grace

Verse 2:
It doesn't matter where I go, You walk with me
It doesn't matter when I fall, You cover me
You wipe away the tears, You lift me when I fall
My life is safe by the mercy of Your grace

Chorus:
You are my Father, Provider
You're my Deliverer
Your mercies embrace me, surround me
Through Your everlasting love
Father I worship You
Father I worship You

And Your love is for me
And Your love is for me
And Your love is forever

Why yes, Methodist are protestant group.

DUMC is okay.

quite happening.

I mean quite active.

I don't believe in that.

Walking house to house.

Can share anywhere when there's a prompting in the heart.

Could be you're in the middle of something or walking to somewhere and your eyes are brought to the attention of someone.

Or in the middle of conversation with somebody, then suddenly there's a prompting in the heart to share.

I see you're quite bless that God has open your heart.
