The power of...

prayer.

| 17 October 2010. Day Eighty-Five of my faith journey with God. |

You know. It was really awesome today. Because like after I went shopping, Nicole and I decided to cab back since it was kinda late and when we approached the taxi stand there were, what, twenty over people ahead of us? Straightaway, well equipped with today's takings from Sunday service, I prayed that lotsa cabs would come quickly so that it will be our turn fast and Nicole and I said AMEN. If two or more should agree on earth, it shall be done.

Once we actually reached the end of the taxi queue, two cabs came in. Obviously not enough, but one was going to CCK, in the direction we wanted to go. But you know, looking at the queue, all that was necessary was ONE person that wanted to go in that direction or was smart/bold enough to ask and we'd have to wait. But no. The cab came closer and closer to us and when we said Jurong East, the cabbie told us to hop on. We'd not even been at the stand for one  minute and our prayers had been answered. So you know, God could've done things in a seemingly more natural way, like a sudden onslaught of available cabs, but then again, He IS the Most High God and He does have a way of showing His beloved children that you know, you don't have to look at things the way the world does but you can expect that when you pray, when you realease your faith SURELY your prayers will be answered with results that are exceedingly, abundantly, above every expectation. Cool beans, man, cool beans. ;) HAHAHAH.

You know, it's the final week of preparation before the O levels and honestly, I feel so restful it scares me. HAHA, I've been doing quite a lot of work physically, practicing as many papers as possible, but I've been sleeping lots too and just enjoying the journey seeing that God has already fought AND won the battle for me. During the live recording event last evening, I Sing Hosanna, I really believe that right then and there, in that two hours that I took away from my studies to worship at His feet, to allow Him to have His way and pour blessings overflowing into my life, in those two hours, MY Daddy God was setting ambushes against my enemies, just as He did for the children of Israel when they put the musicians and worshippers in front of their army to sing praises to the Lord. I believe in that time that I set aside to MAGNIFY God and not the problem, even with what little you have, when you see Him in His grace, He turns around and sees you in your FAITH.

Today's sermon was really good. SPEAK what you want to see. Your mind is activated by your words so only confess awesome things over your life! Even when God created the world, He didn't do what us humans would do. When there was no light He didn't say, "WAH. So dark ah" but He said "LIGHT BE!" and light was. He always spoke what He wanted to see. Y'know, in life we tend to look at the problems, looking at the giants, the lack, we fail to look at Daddy God and remember that God has GIVEN the land! What God gives can never be taken away by man or demon.

In the parable of the mustard seed in the book of Matthew, 'Say' is mentioned THRICE whereas 'believe' is only mentioned once! This shows how much emphasis our God puts in the words of our mouth in which the power of life and death lie. 'Abracadabra' means 'I create as I speak'. So speak the right things over your life!

I AM ________________________
Don't look at the natural when you fill in the blank. Look at the place of high calling that Daddy God has appointed and the things you wish to be blessed with. Our Daddy God wants to pour out His heart for you, full of love and of blessings. It's up to you to ask and to take claim. You can ask for the little things because you don't want to be "greedy" and that's what you'll get. But it is your Father's heart to bless you so He is still able to GIVE even if you ask for big things. It's not as if He is unable to give to both you and another person and that that person would suffer if you ask for too much. No, quite the contrary, the more you take, the more He has and the only reason people don't take is because they don't know their standing and inheritance in Christ. When you ask for little, you're looking down on His supply, on His abilities.

So as I enter into the last 7 (number of PERFECTION!!) days of preparation, so I just know that these days are gonna be so full of wisdom, so full of knowledge, so full of His perfection and grace, so full of all of the blessings of Deutronom 28. It's just gonna be so awesome because I have an awesome God who's just gonna take me from glory to glory by His grace and by His unmerited favour. I guess I'm irrevocably saved! HAHAHAH. Nothing can ever take me out from this place of right standing with God and from His heart of love by which the true definition is not that we loved Him, but that He first loved us. And just wow. I'm full of revelation today. Y'know, I could totally live on His word and really every week I step out of church spiritually full but still wanting MORE. HAHAH. What a glutton. Ah, well. Just keep on taking and taking and taking. Draw from the one with the limitless supply and you will find that nothing you set your hand to will return void and every result that is birthed forth is a God-kind of result that no man, out of His own human strength, can ever attain. :)
