Hi guys. Yeah the baby is fine and healthy. 

I see the usual going-ons, mostl of the time I read on my iPad, lazy to log and reply. hehe...

Does anyone have a lunch time fellowship? I don't mind coming along to give a testimony. Raised from death. Now slightly paralysed ... so must testify of my encounter with the Lord.

I am 56 yo worshipping in SIB KL.

Let me know if interested.

Hallmark of a Christian

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV)

Characteristic of Love

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love does not dishonour others, neither does it keep records of wrongs.

Jesus says to Love your Enemies, it is quite hard for some to do and yet many Christian fail on this account. I wonder what gives them the right to to claim so many things and yet never practises any of these but the opposite.

The Bible explains that when we do not adhere to the characteristic of Love, whatever we do, we become nothing. In essence empty religion takes over. Because there are times people have an intellectual knowledge of God, they know "about" God much better than others but do not have the power of God in their life. And they persecute other, when they think there's a conflict against what they intellectually understand about God, to me, this is hardly the trait of a practising Christian.

I believe as Christians we need to adhere to this because over all Jesus did say to obey this command. When one fails this and claim that He Loves God and brush others and Hate his brother is a liar. God made this equation because He wants everybody to live in harmony as much as possible.

And Christ made this command simple. You can test and gauge yourself whether we are living and having the Hallmark of a Christian.

God Bless.

Thanks for the reminder UW, needed that. But bear in mind, the most loving thing you can do sometimes is to tell the truth, it is unloving to keep somebody in error and in darkness.

Can I start a topic of discussion, what do you guys believe about young-earth theory?

Do you believe the literal account of Genesis?

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to share God's love and healing to all here. 

in mid-2014, we (me & wife) were scheduled to speak at a marriage enrichment weekend in Singapore. After a dinner gathering 2 weeks before the program I was struck with a terrible gall bladder flare up.  Next morning I went into a private hospital to seek medical consultation. They scanned my gall bladder and confirmed there were gall bladder stones there and suggested I get the gall bladder removed (that being the usual SOP). I discussed my speaking schedule with the surgeon and he assured me I will be back home in 3 days time. 

I checked in for surgery the next day and signed all medical forms. I woke up from the surgery after 5 hours and discovered a very big lateral incision (about 1 feet long made) in my abdominal area. My gall bladder was not removed but part of my intestines were. Complications set in and other surgeons found problems with first surgery. I was wheeled in for 2nd surgery after 1 week by another surgeon and more intestines were removed. 

After that my abdominal system went on "auto shutdown". Probably angry with what's being done to it. After 4 weeks at private hospital, with abdominal system down and I couldn't take any food the surgeon asked my wife to take me home. My wife was stunned and furious. She asked "What do you me to take him home?" The replied was "We don't know what is happening?".

My wife then got me transferred to UM. 5 specialists came to check me up to investigate the issue .... I was deteriorating fast. 2nd day in UM I collapsed in a coma and was moved into ICU. My heart beat stopped and I couldn't breathe. Doctors revived me and put me into a life support system. A doctor called my wife and asked my family members in to see me for probably the last time. My wife alerted the family, cell, friends (all over the world) and our ministry HQ (in USA). Prayers went up to God's throne that few days. My family and relatives were allowed into ICU to visit me but my wife never go in to see me. She was angry I 'sneak off' without a proper goodbye to her.

3rd day on life support system the doctor called my wife to inform her the hospital will shut down the system and it is best she be there. The next morning the doctor and nurses came into the ICU ..........

I woke up and was standing in front of the open Pearly Gates in heaven. So peaceful and melodious music (I am a musician) was in that place ... probably angels praising God. I was at the doorway of the gates (just outside). I could see inside and the floor of heaven was covered with smooth white clouds. I stood at the doorway and said "Thank you Lord for Your promise and allowing me to come into Your presence. If You don't mind, there are some services I have yet to complete on Earth. Can I go complete these services and I will return here again." I hung my head down let out a sheepish grin. A light golden silky curtain rolled down to close the Pearly Gates and a pair of angels came to helped me to go meet Jesus.

The Lord Jesus saw me. He looked me in the eyes and said "Brother. Go and share your story." I walked towards Him and fell on my knees. The angels were no longer there. In my weakened state, I crawled to Jesus' feet. I turned my head up to look into His eyes. With tears in my eyes, I said "Heal me Lord and I can go share of this glorious encounter. 2 drops of blood fell on my arms (one on my left the other on my right arm). 1 Peter 2:24 ".... by His wounds you have been healed." I felt strength came over my body and I stood up. Jesus then said "Go now and share your story." I bowed and said "Thank you, Lord." I turned and took my leave. 

After the doctor shut the life support system, he pulled the long air tube that was inserted into my lungs out. I let out a cough and opened my eyes. So sweet the fresh air I began to breathe on my own. I sat up 90 degrees on the bed and turned to get off the bed. All the nurses left the ICU room quickly. (I now know ... they thought I was a zombie.) I stepped off the bed and saw the doctor there with his jaws almost touching the floor. He couldn't run as I step off the bed, I was blocking the doorway. I reached for his left arm with my right hand. I grabbed his left arm (bicep area) and felt some shivering there. I looked him in his eyes and asked "Am I going home today?". I saw relief came over him. He smiled, clapped and shouting to the nurses outside "Miracle patient !" Then the nurses (giggling at themselves) walked into the ICU room to clear up the room. I walked outside and sat in the visitor's lounge and crossed my legs as I usually do. My wife walked into the ICU area and was shocked to see me sitting on visitor's lounge chair. She blinked a few times and ran to hug me asking "What are you doing here?". I told her, "Checking out. I think?". I was transferred to normal ward for a few more days as my abdominal system re-operate again.

I had serious and permanent brain damaged due to mistreatment at the private hospital. Doctors at UM had not seen such recovery from patients having this condition. I was "specimen" in UM's visiting foreign specialist talk. My scans were shown and I was invited to stage to saw a few words. I received government's OKU card and benefits. I am getting stronger and alert by the day. I can drive now. Praise God!     

you got time to reply on the other thread

Verifiable evidence for the existence of God.

Thanks brother for this opportunity. Some of my in-laws who had seen me at the hospital and saw my miraculous recovery are now open to our family's Christmas party. We sang carols and shared God's blessings for the year ... last year (2016) they came to share the celebration with us.

Two of my Muslim friends who visited me regularly in the hospital were also very open to praying with me. When I end "In Jesus' name I pray. Amen." They will reply "Amin".

Praise God. 

What Error, what darkness?

You mean to say the corruption of the Gospel is that If there are miracles proclaimed just like the brother share his testimony just above that God still works miracles today? That is corruption of the Gospel?

There are so many recorded testimonies, I'm just baffled at your statement.

If you don't agree that Miracles still happen today and you believed it stop in 1800's I'm fine with what you believe but I cannot agree with what you say the Gospel is corrupted if I preached a God who still works miracles today and you accuses me of spreading a corrupted Gospel. That is really insulting if not demeaning IMO. I live, breath and pray to God everyday and you have the gumption to agree with the other fella thinking that I'm a cult, etc. You just really have no idea how much of an insult that is.

I rather that you clarify this first before talking about YEC or OEC.

No mate calm down

I think you misunderstood the term cessationist. I believe in miracles as much as you do, just that I don't believe the sign gifts are still operational today, that's all. Cheers

The only reason I see why there's a dissatisfaction with some of you because of your jealousy and insecurity, you cannot accept it that those who have trusted in the Lord is prospered by God. You envy with jealousy. There are some of you who are blatant hypocrite. You gnash your teeth at others the moment prosperity is mentioned in the settings of Christianity while you build expensive home for yourself and you invest in all kinds of investment trying to prosper your own finance by your own strength, trusting this in the things of Man. My own Pastor is a personal witness to this hypocrisy as well as I have heard of others.

Baby girl.
