jeremiah 33:3
call to me and i will answer you and tell you
great and unsearchable things you do not know.
i've been on a "book spree" for this 2 weeks. and im currently reading the 3rd book in my 2nd week, titled "Drawing Near". though im only at the first few chapters of the book, God already spoke to me in many areas of my life, and time and again, He has proven Himself real every time i chose to obey.
back to the book:
one thing that struck me was this. we often pray for God to increase our hunger for Him. but the truth is this.
our hunger is never determined by God. It's determined by us.
God looks for those who are dilligent in spirit, who will seek and persue, even if it takes tenacious persistance. we have nothing to lose and everything to gain when we seek God with all our heart.
and many times all we lack is the heart of immense desire that throws away every single bit of procrastinating spirit in us.
God promised us that He will draw near to us when we draw near to Him!
He never pushes His way into our heart.(duh, God's a gentleman)
remember this, that we are the ones who determine our hunger, not God.
how do we gain that hunger then? it all depends on what we feed on.
if we always feed ourselves with the things of the world, we would naturally quench our thirst with the things of the world. and likewise happens when we feed ourselves with the word of God:)
i believe that God has a word for everyone of us. all we need to do is to pick up the call, get our hearts settled down and ready to hear from Him
333. lets have a chat with God today.

after much consideration, i decided to blog up this post at this time of the day.
yesterday's intercession was DUPER cool.
i was quite nervous cause its the first time for me leading worship in a new enviornment. and for viv to play the guitar too(and she's becoming better in skills by the day)
i guess God has prepared all of the ppl's heart throughout the day to recieve a word from Him that night. when the worship started, the presence of God was already tangible, and everyone was more than ready to worship God.
we prayed for more than an hour, yet it was not that draggy kind of prayer, but prayers filled with faith and hope.
interceeded also for many areas of the church, not only youth ministry.
it was really a great experience for me yesterday, not just because the worship was good, but the presence of God was there that made the worship great.
we will not give up on ppl, not until the very last minute.
FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM!
God is moving!

a cup of coffee on the table and a good book in hand.
heavenly.
有时，我们应该停下脚步，听听四周的声音，用心去体验周围的点点滴滴；
有时，我们都应该学着怎么珍惜；
有时，放慢脚步，你才能体验到生命中的完美。
if God were to invite you to have a cuppa coffee with Him today,
what would your response be?
would you accept His invitation?
or brush Him aside saying you have more work to be done?
Or you may gladly sit on His lap, His voice, ever so gentle asking you about your life?
Brothers and sisters,
sit back, relax, and enjoy.

xinru has to have SPIRITUAL CONFIDENCE!
one thing i am really convicted in is this, that we are in a spirit led ministry.
this statement is so DUH, but dont overlook the importance of the knowledge of this truth. it's not bout your charisma,excitement,or your energy, its bout asking God where you should lead your group.
I NEED SPIRITUAL CONFIDENCE, AND IT COME FROM SEEKING GOD.
