book of james

today has been an extra special day.
i received a new song while singing on my way to work

was supposed to go for an audition in the evening which didn't happen after all, and instead found out on the way home that pastor michael was teaching book of james at coos tonite! it was held at 308, and pastor michael kept saying he loved the room so much, it was so cosy and it feels like home and family, it does feel really warm in the heart when he said that. 308 is special becoz that's where we have children ministry, and we ask God to bless every corner of the room every Sunday morning :)

i wouldn't miss listening to pastor michael for the world, he is a man of God, i've been so deeply blessed by his sermons..
pastor michael has been diagnosed with cancer for the past 18 months and doctors had given him negative reports
and today, he shared that he has been totally healed!! doctor's reports show that his cancer cell count is now lower than the average person! Hallelujah!!

he and his wife (it was so so lovely to see them ministering together in partnership:)) has just returned from a long holiday in England, Jersey island, where he received a word from a man he didn't know - who told him that he is cleansed and darkness has left him, and he instantly knew he had been healed. God had given him faith using someone he didn't know. and he shared that faith is a gift from God, and it can only come from God, when God speaks, when you hear from Him personally

God works in amazing ways. obedience is so important, how being obedient to God to do the things that He want us to do can mean life or death, no matter how big (difficult) or small (unimportant) it seems to us, sometimes it doesn't make sense to us, or may even seem strange, but what matters is God's purpose and only He knows best, and we must be obedient to do what He has given us to do, whatever it may be. die to self and follow Jesus.. amen

during lunch at hawker, and the tissue auntie came by again, see her almost every week, today she said that her husband was ill and had to see doctor, asked her if she wanted prayers, but she declined, put one packet of tissue in my bag and was thankful to God that i have that pack of tissue in my bag during bible study that evening

i felt warm in that room, though i knew the air con's working and knew Holy Spirit was with me. once pastor michael's wife started praying, tears started rolling, and i couldn't stop it, and it just kept streaming down as pastor michael talked. i think i must have teared non-stop for abt an hour (the pack of tissue was really handy, as i used up the pack, i was thinking, God, how.. it's going to run out soon.. and that's my only pack.. i'd be really messy with so much tears pouring..), till i felt my eyes become puffy, but God is good, my tears stopped just before the pack ran out. what He said tonite just touched my heart so. God taught me about faith, that i can rest in Him come what may and that i can be happy and rejoice all the time because i have Him

every time i experience God, i'd wish the whole world was with me to experience the same, i'd wish i'd had invited everyone i know to church with me, how could i let them miss out on something so wonderful, yet i love to experience God alone, so that i can focus fully on him and not be distracted by the person next to me..

book of james (1:1-13) teaches about faith, trials and tribulations, the same thing (tearing involuntarily) happened to me when i read job on the plane to nepal.. i am ready God, because i have You. help me to be joyful always, no matter what comes and let me grow in maturity in ministry

God direct me, inspect me, correct me, protect me, and perfect me.
