I Have Crucified Jesus...

This time I'm going to share about the highlights of Feb 2010 HigherGround session. This is the best HigherGround sessions I have ever been, which I think God specially organized it for me. We have Jasmine Tai as our emcee, JessMinn as our icebreaker, Joel Chew as our worship leader and Pastor George as our speaker.

Before this, I have been asking God why didn't I cry after knowing You? Because I have seen many christians crying but only I couldn't. Is it because I don't know the real You or am I still a hypocrite? I think those thoughts come from devil because I have knew the real Jesus and I want to serve Him. I'm sure I'm filled and led by the Spirit. But I still don't know why I didn't cry as hard as others could! The last time I cried is in Standard 6 I think...I can hardly cry! But I'm sure Holy Spirit is in me and the heavenly peace He has given me. Holy Spirit has touched and boiled me numerous times, only tears can be seen in my eyes but I still can't cry. and also the exceeding joy and peace!

I just know I have to go this month's HigherGround session.. At 7.25pm, I was asking my friends to fetch me but none could. So I have to cycle to KBC and I also have expected scolding from my parents for going to church. So weird, my mother didn't scold me and she smiled at me this time..! Very rare!

So we started off with ice breaking, our ice breaker JessMinn introduced us the game of bean shake. Jasmine Tai won the game. Then we proceed to our worship, led by Joel Chew and the Spirit. We had a very nice worship though the only musical instrument is guitar. I'm sure Holy Spirit is there because He was boiling me there and wanted to tell me many things. I just know that. The most important thing, Holy Spirit is there. Father in Heaven wants us to worship Him in truth and in the Spirit.

Next, a sermon by Pastor George, which touched my heart the most of all sermons I have heard. Just 10 minutes after listening to Pastor George's sermon, Holy Spirit in me cried. I can sense Him grief,crying and boiling me all over. Holy Spirit has caused me to cry with Him..first time in my life I have cried so hard like a baby! My whole body was shaking like never before! What I have heard that so seriously touched me?

Acts 2:36-38 (New International Version)

³⁶"Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."

³⁷When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"

³⁸Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.


Peter is talking to the Jews on the day of Pentecost. They were not the Jews who crucified Jesus, the other Jews from Jerusalem crucified Him. But why Peter(Holy Spirit) said they crucified Jesus? And though the Jews didn't really crucified Him, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter what to do. Peter asked them to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.


What happened here? They didn't crucify Jesus but they were cut to the heart and never deny that. I cried real hard knowing that I have crucified Jesus.. My brethens and brothers, how am I going to tell you that you have crucified Jesus? I have finally sensed the long suffering God is having, seeing all His creations rejecting him. Because of you, Jesus was crucified. You sinners! We are all sinners, and we have crucified Him together. Jesus died for all and WE ARE THE KILLER! We all know that Jesus died for our sins, but we too have..crucified Him...

I hope Holy Spirit will wake you up about this, that we all have crucified Jesus. Holy Spirit told me lots and lots of things and He's crying very hard with me. I have found the true love of God and finally understand His love towards us. I thank You and Pastor George for the message and I have gained a lot of new revelations in the bible. I'm going to share it here from day to day.

I have finally sensed Him deeply, this is the first time I have cried so long and so seriously. After the sermon is ended, I was still crying. I was really thankful for you guys as you guys sang my favourite worship song to me, "Jesus, Lover of My soul." It is comforting but it just caused me to cry more and more. I was just able to stop crying for 1 minute, and I continued crying and crying on the chair. No wonder I had to cycle to this Higherground session, I was even still crying when I cycled back home. I have knew and learnt new things, I will share it here soon. Holy Spirit talked to me a lot during that time. and I didn't feel condemned, but a very nice peace is with me.

I hope you guys follow me and say.
Father in Heaven,
I have crucified Your Son, Jesus Christ. You sent Him here on earth and I have crucified Him. I now repent and wanted to be baptised in His name, Jesus Christ. He is the King of the kings, Lord of lord. Though my world may fall, I'll never let you go. I ask for Jesus and Holy Spirit to come into my life. Thank You so much for coming. I pray that in no matter whatever, whenever or whereever I am, I am still honouring you. Nowhere i will want to leave you any more. I also ask for Jesus's blood to cover all of me, HigherGround and LYPG. We want to save souls Lord. We want to let them know Your true love Lord. Show salvation to them Lord! Jesus died for everyone and everyone of us can go to heaven! Thank You Lord! In Jesus's name, Amen!

Good People Cannot Go to Heaven? Yea...

Ok.. Straight to the point. I don't want to confuse anyone of you here!

Let's start off with me. Before I'm a christian, I think I was good (self-righteous). Many people would think I was good too (because i was a hypocrite). And as I said in my earlier post, I was cunning, always disobey my parents, lie, manipulating people and many more. I was once an instrument of satan! I do a lot of good things because I think I'm good. But on the other hand, I sinned a lot also!

But still, I was made in God's image. I will still do good because His nature lives in me, yet sinful nature is with me too. Everyone has sinful nature (even Jesus on earth), so everyone will sin. Look around us, who have not sinned before??? We will sin from time to time. Therefore, in God's eye, everyone falls into the same category.

Romans 3:23 (New International Version)

²³for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

God said everyone is a sinner but only the sinless and perfect one qualifies to go heaven. Anyone of you here sinless and perfect? No. There is only One, and His name is Jesus. Only He qualifies to go heaven because He has not sinned.

John 3:16 (New International Version)

¹⁶"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,^a]">[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.


Therefore, only by believing what Jesus did for you, that He died on the cross to wash away all your sins so that you become perfect like Him, delivered you from hell to heaven. You believe Jesus died on the cross to make you righteous and raised up on the third day, then I will see you in heaven!

Because there are so many sins in me, God has to inject superbly a lot of God's love in me that now I know how the sin(cancer) kills me. Since I know sin(cancer) will kill me, it naturally makes me hate sin(cancer) from day to day! After knowing and accepting Jesus, I am now perfect and holy, qualifies all blessings from God! God loves you, but hate the sin(cancer) in you, because it is damaging you.

Aren't you amazed in these two words, immoral and immortal? The difference is "t" which represents the cross. We are all immoral(sinners) that we need the "t"(cross) to gain immortal(eternal) life!

Now I know, good people cannot go to heaven, only the perfect one can!

Satan tried to twist my words all the times. Satan just made me to hate him more from second to second.
Did I say doing good is wrong? Doing good is not wrong, but you can't go to heaven because of doing good. You can only go to heaven through Jesus. So why are we christians doing good? Because of God's love in us constantly changing us, that doing good has already became a habit for us! If you knew and accepted the real Jesus, you would naturally do good! (=


I have now thought of making this blog an interesting one. Many people don't seem to give any response to what I write.. Leave some comments la... Now I make this, that in every post I write, I will put a "question of the day"! Leave answers k!

Question of the post: Why God create earth in six days? He can create it in a blink of eye what. Why 6 days? Why not 60 days or 40 days?

Say it and believe! You're only 1 moment away from gaining eternal life!
Father in Heaven,
I thank You that you have given us the best gift and He is Jesus. I believed Jesus died on the cross to make me righteous and raised up on the third day! Thank You for the best Gift! In Jesus's name, Amen!

Flow in what you know Grow in what you don't know By Kelvin Gilmore

Flow in what you know Grow in what you don't know By Kelvin Gilmore

Seeing the majestic stream flowing downhill with grace.
Reminds me that we too have attributes that can't be replaced.

Gifts and talents is what our Generous God has given.
Many use these inborn qualities to make a good living.

Some ignore these attributes because they are not profitable.
Perceiving that those who use their gifts for free are not stable.

God gives talents to be used for his honor and glory.
They weren't meant to be used for man's convience or his story.

Like the stream, let us flow with grace on the things that we know.
But let us persist with knowledge and training on our weaknesses until we grow.

Weaknesses

Weaknesses made Perfect.

Most of us would most probably ask, why would God make us with weaknesses? Why do I get far from God time and time again? Why can't I seem to be able to achieve anything? Why am I the same even after various camps and seminars?
First of all,

John 8:32 (New International Version)

³²Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

___________________________________________________________________

This verse has indeed set me free from the many challenges that come my way. I believe so will it to you.
Moving on, I trust God's decision is always the best, the weaknesses are there for a reason, perhaps to make us realize the degree we need him, dont you think so?

Matthew 9:12 (New International Version)

¹²On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

Jesus came for the weak and lowly, He gave His life for those who think and know they are weak.

I truly believe He wants us to realize how much we need Him, and to depend on Him and only Him.

But it's not a cancer, thus it can be curedddd! *Thank GOD*

**Reminder** Everything is a process. Learning is one, and changing to become more like Jesus is tooooooo. Don't get discouraged, dismayed or too hard on yourself when you fail because it's not one day that makes the change, it's the years. Why? because I did.

Read the following.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (New International Version)

⁹But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

Amen.

Upon this opportunity, I would like to thank for those who poured continuous efforts in updating the blog.

Exam? No FEAR!

I just received this SMS today from my friend..and I found out something new!

In Chemistry:
Jesus turned water into wine. ( John 2:9)

John 2:9 (New International Version)

They did so, ⁹and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside


In Biology:
Jesus was borned of a virgin, Mary. ( Luke 1:34)

Luke 1:34 (New International Version)

³⁴"How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"


In Physics:
Jesus overcame the law of gravity by ascending to heaven. (Luke 24:51)

Luke 24:51 (New International Version)

⁵¹While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven.



Jesus is amazing! and guess what...? He is now your wisdom if you believe it!
Facing difficulties in science subjects? Jesus is there to help you!
Jesus is not only good in science subjects, but the best in everything!
Pray!


Father in Heaven,
I believed in Your strength and not myself. Bless our results and we believe that Jesus is our wisdom. All our anxieties, concerns and worries...we put on You. You are our rest! In Jesus's name, Amen!

The Church in Flames By Alan Allegra

The Church in Flames
By Alan Allegra

The title might suggest that this article is about persecution of believers in other countries, where churches are routinely set on fire, often with the worshipers inside. There is a popular book among Fundamentalists called "Evangelism: The Church on Fire!" The author was not recommending torching churches as an effective evangelism tool. He meant that a church that's zealous for the Lord will seek to introduce others to Jesus Christ.

Sadly, fewer and fewer churches are taking this responsibility seriously. Instead of being on fire, many churches are in flames, going down in a puff of conciliatory smoke. Instead of preaching the Word, they are pleasing the world. The result is not only a culture that is not being transformed, but also a church that is being re-formed.

The Apostle Paul wrote to his young preacher protégé, "so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth" (1 Timothy 3:15). God ordained the church as the foundation and support of truth, and is very definite about its role in the world. Timothy's conduct as a pastor was to be responsible for the conduct of the church, including living and proclaiming truth: "Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage - with great patience and careful instruction" (2 Timothy 4:2). Feeding tainted truth breeds sickly sheep, and a church that fails to uphold truth cannot be salt and light and fulfill its mission. Instead of being destroyed by outside forces, it will disintegrate from inside flimsiness, taking society with it.


Isaiah 59 takes a page out of the Jerusalem Times (700 B.C.) that lists societal problems that even the National Enquirer couldn't make up. Note the central verse: "So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter" (v. 14). Once truth is no longer upheld, and is allowed to stumble, then morals, ethics, politics, science - everything - turns to rubble. "If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?" asks Psalm 11:3. In other words, if the church no longer does her job, she can't complain when society crumbles.


Without truth there is no salvation (Isaiah 59:13), justice (v. 4), mercy (v. 7), peace (v. 8), direction (vv. 9, 10), or unity (v. 13). There can only be false religions, partiality, brutality, struggle, aimlessness, and anarchy.

Note that God has decreed that the church is "the pillar and ground of the truth," supporting, lifting, and displaying the truth. That responsibility has not been given to science, psychology, parachurch organizations, the media, schools, the government, or any other man-made institution. All such organizations and disciplines are to seek and live by truth, but it is the church's manual, the bible, that is the infallible standard by which all theories, discoveries, and actions are measured. Isaiah again: "To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" (8:20).

The believer is to "Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life" (Philippians 2:1416). But the Christian can't hold out the light if the pastor isn't igniting it with the Word of God. Compromising leadership results in flickering flames. If the pastor behaves himself by preaching the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27), believers will learn how to behave themselves at home, building up the foundation of society and the Kingdom.

what about you?

Matthew 7:13-14 (New International Version)

The Narrow and Wide Gates

¹³"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. ¹⁴But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Are you entering through the narrow gate? The gate is so narrow that it has only One Way, and His name is Jesus Christ.

Be led by the Holy Ghost all the times. Holy Ghost will bring the remembrance of Christ to you all the times, making you Jesus conscious. And that is the narrow way which leads to life, and only a few find it.

Let's talk to ourselves.
"Am I being led by the Spirit all the times?"

"Am I a hypocrite?"

"Am I entering through the narrow gate?"


One of my friend borrowed me this book, "Celebration of Discipline" by Richard Foster.

"If we are expecting one or two worship services or study groups a week to change us, it will never happen. The whole object of the exercise is to talk with God through our days and through our nights."

I agree with what he says.

If you want to enter through the narrow gate, Jesus is the only Way. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one can go to heaven, except through Him.

I'm serious.



Father in Heaven,
I ask for Jesus's blood covering HG and LYPG. Annoint them with Holy Spirit. We surrender ourselves to You, so Holy Spirit please take all of me. We want Jesus to be with us all the time. We want to enter through the narrow gate, which leads to life. You love us so much that You gave your begotten son Jesus Christ..for our sake to have eternal life. Thank You. Love You.

In Jesus's name, Amen.

10 commandments. No condemnation!

Romans 8

Life Through the Spirit

¹Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,^a]">[a] ²because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death


This is a very very crucial part in your walk with Jesus. You must understand the 10 commandments are there to show how imperfect you are, that you need Jesus Christ to die on the cross for your sins!

I repeat:
You must understand that you are a sinner, that you will break 10 commandments from time to time. You need to depend fully on Jesus Christ dying on the cross for your sins, to obtain salvation. Salvation is a gift, like a birthday gift. You can only receive it! Salvation cannot be earned, it can only be received through faith by grace! Like a birthday gift, you can only receive it!

Can you obey 10 commandments? How can a sinner obey 10 commandments? 10 commandments are there to lead you to Christ, that you admit you are a sinner, and you need to depend fully on Jesus Christ for your salvation.

So did I ask you to break 10 commandments? I did not! I'm just saying that you won't be able to obey 10 commandments! You need Jesus Christ!

Can you go heaven because you obey 10 commandments? You can't. You go to heaven because you believe Jesus Christ dying on the cross for your sins, not because of 10 commandments.

If you can go to heaven because you obey 10 commandments, then no one will be able to enter. Because no one can obey 10 commandments. You can only go to heaven because of Jesus Christ. That's what makes you different with non-christians!

Once you believe Jesus Christ dying on the cross for your sins, Holy Spirit dwells into you. It will fill you with God's love and heavenly peace! and I believe that's what you need. Nothing else. And you don't need to obey 10 commandments by yourself anymore, it will cause you to obey it that it has already became your fruits!

When you sin, thank You Jesus for the cross! Pick yourself up and don't feel condemned! Continue your walk with Jesus!

Just 1 month ago? I got greatly condemned by satan and I told myself this :

"To feel condemned or guilty of my sin is to say that I'm perfect, and that I don't value the Cross. I am not perfect and I need to believe what Jesus did on the cross for me! He says there is therefore no condemnation, means no more! I got the forgiveness of sins! I can only believe it!"

People in this world, only God's love and Holy Spirit can change you from the inside out! Only Jesus can bring you to heaven! You want to become good? Then you need to believe in Jesus Christ and let Holy Spirit change you!

Father in Heaven,
I super thank You Jesus dying on the cross for my sins and is raised up by Holy Spirit on the third day. I believe it deeply now! Why are You so good to us? Because of Your kindness, mercy, grace and so much more. Teach us to love the others like how you love us. Show salvation for those who don't know you. Show mercy for those who don't love you. I love you. In Jesus's name, Amen.

Unity Brings God's Blessings
By Rick King

Unity Brings God's Blessings

Sept 6, 2009

By: Rick L. King

Psalms 133:

1 A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to

dwell together in unity!

2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even

Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore


The Lord says 3 things here.

1. If we dwell together in unity....He will send the:

2. the precious ointment.the anointing: then

3. God commanded the blessing


God says that if we will dwell in unity, that it is like the ointment upon the head that ran down Aaron's beard. The ointment is the anointing. Unity will bring anointing. So let's back up a little. What does it take to bring unity?

Unity only comes by the spirit. Let's face it, we all have different ideas of what we want or would like to see. These are our fleshly desires. When God desires something it would be rather insane to say that in a group that are dwelling together that He would tell each one to go a different direction. God is not the author of confusion. Every one in a different direction will promote disharmony and confusion. If every person is desirous of only the Holy Spirit's will, then God would give each a similar direction or desire. Unity comes only by the spirit.

Going backwards a little more then the question is, "how do we get into the spirit and hear His voice?" First we need to get to the point that we desire HIM first and foremost. We want His will more than our own. Our will and agenda we have learned are fruitless and are just dead religious works. The Holy Spirit recently told me: "if you want me, I'll come, if you will praise me, I'll come". For me personally I have found that the best way is to spend time with the Lord. I have learned to praise and worship Him no matter what. God inhabits praise. I have learned that spending time praying in the spirit (tounges) will bring me into the spirit realm and out of my flesh. We are told to build our self up on our most holy faith, praying in the spirit. Praying in the spirit builds up our spirit man instead of our flesh or carnal nature. If we learn to do this we will find that we tap into God's knowledge and plans. We must go where He is instead of asking Him to come down where we are. God is a spirit. His ways are spiritual, not carnal. He even speaks of carnality when He says that they that are in the flesh (their carnal mind) cannot please Him. Bottom line is that if we will pray in the spirit, God will talk to us and the end result will be unity with the ones that are doing the same.

Going backwards some more is that we must be filled with the spirit. Unless we are filled the only thing that we can draw from is the flesh, which as said earlier does not please God. We need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in other tounges. This is our prayer language. This when we use it releases God's ability in us. It takes us out of "I" and it becomes "HIM". We surrender as Jesus did when He said I came not to do my will, but the will of the Father that sent me. We desire to bring God's kingdom and any idea of estabishing our own kingdom is no longer considered. This is when we can pray in the spirit and press in till we hear and get answers and direction from the Lord.

As leadershp comes into unity and walking in the same direction to promote God's plan and purpose, then this must trickle into the congregation. If leadership then promotes works by the flesh, then disunity in the body will be the result. If the primary focus and instruction is for the body to listen and obey, then the full body of Christ will be the result. Even though there is a leg, arm, foot, finger, etc, all will be in harmony as each will either hear from the Lord or their spirit will bear witness to truth. All will work together to fulfill what God has told them to do. The church will become a mighty force of power bringing and ushering in the will and purposes that God intended for that particular body.

Scripture says that a house divided cannot stand. A unified body is a real key in bringing God's presence and purposes. Leadership can be in unity and the body in disarray or vice versa. If we can all surrender to God's will and make it the only priority, then I firmly believe that we will experience a very powerful, anointed church. God said in Psalms 133:1-3, that because there was unity, He sent the anointing, and then He commanded the blessings. Blessings will come if we do things God's way and not ours.

I am a 60 year old Born-Again spirit filled Christian, that has been saved for 30 years. Jesus found me when I was suicidal. I learned real quickly that I was powerless to be in control of my life, so I let Jesus take over. He has chosen me to be a warrior for Him. WE win, if we fight His way.

P.S.: HAVE A BLESSED VALENTINE'S DAY+CHINESE NEW YEAR FROM ALL OF US AT HIGHER GROUND UNITED..! X)

compiled by Jeremy

Ehehe..Protection is Guaranteed

I believe it's God's will for us to have a long life on earth and cured from all diseases! That's what the cross for! God punished all our diseases, worries, curses and sins on the body of Jesus Christ so that we are righteous in Christ.

Isaiah 53:5 (New International Version)

⁵ But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

But if you ask me why some christians have full of diseases and die young, sorry.. I can't answer you yet. And I'm not God. Wait for the perfect timing, I believe He will tell me.

Hmm.. now I want to share my testimony!

I usually cycle to here and there, and my bicycle spoilt already since last month. But it still can be used..just that i have to ride it very gently and slow >.<
So last sunday, around 8pm, I cycled to my friend's house for a project. So while cycling, I was chased by a dog! I can't cycle too fast or my bicycle will spoilt! I was speechless and I just looked forward instead of looking at the dog! I prayed and I know angels will protect me..and it did happen! Just after a few seconds, a motorcycle went by and the dog chased him instead of me! Aha! I thanked God for that.

I went back at around 11pm. But then i forgot to take back something. So I had to cycle back there. This time, I didn't use that road! I used another road! Guess what? I saw TWO DOGS chasing and running towards me. My bicycle really too slow already. I had no choice but stopped at there, staring at the two dogs face to face! I spoke to the dogs,"Please don't jump to me." I was actually very speechless that time. I just hope for angels to show some miracles..and I prayed.

Hohoho. God is faithful in what He says, protection is guaranteed and I'm very grateful! After staring the dogs for few seconds, both of them ran away. So I cycled feeling very thankful for the protection given!

So two days ago, my bicycle spoilt again. I repaired it and prayed for a new bike! The prayer goes up and the blessing comes down. I heard that my father bought a bicycle yesterday! Ehehe, you will see me riding a new bicycle soon haha!


Say it and believe! Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life!
Father in Heaven,
I believe that Jesus Christ is the way, the Truth and the Life. He died for my sins on the cross and raised up on the third day by Holy Spirit. I thank You for everything You gave me. Show salvation for those who don't know you. By Your stripes, we are healed. You gave us love, so teach us how to love others like how You love us! More of You in me, and less of me. In Jesus's name, Amen!

compiled by Jeremy

Very Thankful..

He is blessing me up down left right center... Really thankful for the peace He gave me...and so much more!

In school, I am the head of my uniform body and society. Even the head of the House!
Guess what..? After I really know Him in August last year, I decided to step down as the head.
I stepped down as the head of my uniform body, and I quit my society.
Because I was too guilty of myself that I am a sinner. I was too bad last time that I think I didn't even deserve any of the post. I don't think a sinner like me can do anything well or influence others. I think I owed them big time and I was a very bad leader. I was thinking just to be a normal people serving Him from the back.

On the day they chose the new head ( uniform body), I didn't know that my friends will actually block me from stepping down. I was touched by their effort to block me from stepping down. They are giving me many reasons why shouldn't I step down. With all the words and excuses I gave them, they just have something to say. And something was just asking me to continue becoming the head to lead them. So.. I continued to be the head..

For society, I quit because I just don't need any power or fame anymore. Koko mark? I dont even bother already that time. I just want to be a normal person serving Him. At the time I was walking to the new society I've decided to join, my favourite teacher shouted my name from far and asked me to be the leader. I just didn't know how to reject him, and I don't know why I listen to him and remained in the society. So in the end, I didn't get the chance to quit the society. Furthermore, I became the head of the society... Many people voted me..!

Guess what? I'm now being too thankful and I enjoyed my post very well. Everything just turns out fine to me..and they are now many members wanted to join my uniform body and society! My teachers are honouring me and I found many true friends! Everything is just too good to me...! I don't know what to say, but He just caused me to love Him more and more...! I am getting all the fame and power without me realizing! My uniform body and society are becoming better and better that many people are now attracted! I want His glory to be shown there! And this time, I won't misused it!

BECAUSE I AM WHAT I AM BECAUSE OF WHAT JESUS CHRIST DID ON THE CROSS! I NOW DEEPLY KNEW IT!

You want to tell me about justice? Sorry, I don't want justice. If I had to stand in my own goodness and receive justice, I would be sentenced to hell! I'm thankful for God's mercy in Christ!

Just 5 minutes before I update this blog, I received a call from my aunty that my mom is starting to be prosper! The Lord is supplying to my family!

Father in Heaven,
I pray that more and more people will be blessed like me, to know YOU! Show salvation for those who don't know you! I know that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins and being raised up on the third day by the Holy Spirit! Show mercy to those who hate you and give them salvation! In Jesus's name, Amen!

Important!

Matthew 4

The Temptation of Jesus

¹Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. ²After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. ³The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."

⁴Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'^a]">[a]"

⁵Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. ⁶"If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written:
" 'He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'^b]">[b]"

⁷Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'^c]">[c]"

⁸Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. ⁹"All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me."

¹⁰Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'^d]">[d]"

¹¹Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.



What I'm trying to tell you is, you cant erase a negative(satan) thoughts by just not thinking about it. When someone asks you not to think too much, it's going to make you thinking the more.

Me : You are dumb.
You : errr.
Me : Forget that you're dumb. Don't think.
( can you actually don't think and forget what I say?)

A negative(satan) thoughts cannot be replaced by a positive thoughts too! A positive thoughts can be erased by a more negative thoughts from satan!

You see, Jesus Christ is our best example. When He is tempted, He did not use any supernatural powers to resist the devil. Jesus simply quoted the written Word of God to the devil.

We must follow Him too! Only the written Word of God can overcome all kinds of nonsense devil tells you. There is no other way.

Ephesians 6:11-18 (New International Version)

¹¹Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. ¹²For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. ¹⁸And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.


If you interpret the verses carefully, there is only an offensive weapon, which is the sword ( Word of God). Besides that, there is NO ARMOR PROTECTS THE BACK AND REAR; Paul made no provision for running away from a spiritual battle. which I think you cant try to stop thinking about it. You must face it and overcome it using the Word OF GOD!


Satan : You always sin.
Me : Jesus Christ died for my sins!
Satan : You are stupid.
Me : I'm made in the image of the One who defeated you!



Father in Heaven,
I am thankful for everything You gave me. I know Holy Spirit is going to bring the remembrance of Christ to me to defeat satan. I thank You for your words and your words are everlasting. I believed what You say and I received. I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins and raised up by the Holy Spirit on the third day. I thank You that Jesus has made me righteous. In Jesus's name. Amen

Simple answer!

I have heard many people saying :

"Everyone wants to change the world, but no one wants to change himself."

BECAUSE NO ONE CAN CHANGE HIMSELF! ONLY GOD AND HIS LOVE CAN CHANGE US!

Thank You Jesus for telling me this! Tell me more and more! Amen!

Jesus is all I need!

God showed me this before, but I have forgotten where I have seen this(maybe in Sg Science Center):

"Think of what God thinks of you, rather than what other people think about you!"

"I lose nothing by believing in God, but lose everything by not believing in God."

Well..most of us care about our physical appearance more than what is inside us. Am I right?
We put on "masks"to impress others so that we got attention from them.
But God cannot be fooled!
He knows what you are inside, and is more interested on it, not outer appearance!
In Jesus's day, religious people tried to impress each other with showy outward behaviour, He called them as hypocrites!
If you think you are fat, and are very concerned about it, God still love you for who you are. Jesus loves you until He knew how many hairs you have.
Don't worry if you are fat/ugly, God still love you!

Philippians 2:3-5 (New International Version)

³Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. ⁴Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. ⁵Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:

Don't try to impress others. Try all your best to impress God instead!
People around us might leave or forsake us, but Jesus will never leave nor forsake you!
People around us might be different tomorrow, but Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever!
Don't be selfish, but think of others first.
Your attitude should be the same as that of Jesus Christ.

Sounds very hard..don't you think so?

Well, I always have good news for you! I have said in my previous post that you don't have to try to change yourself. Because God's love is going to change you from the inside out. Human can never change human, only God can. Surrender all of you to Jesus Christ and He's willingly to help you. You will be led by the Spirit and only He can change you! Focus on Jesus ALL THE TIME, and you will see miracles in you! God's love inside you will cause you to have the same attitude with Jesus Christ. All you need is focus on JESUS CHRIST! Be led by the spirit! only Spirit can change you!
If you are able to change yourself, then many people of this world do not need God as they can change themselves already? But none of them can! Only Holy Spirit can deal with our internal problem!

Father in Heaven,

You are all I need. Make me to focus on you each day that I can grow and know You! I want ALL OF YOU! I believed that Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins and raised up by the Spirit on the third day! Now, I just want to focus on You and do God's will! In Jesus's name, Amen!

I love Jesus Christ

John 3:3-8 (New International Version)

³In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.^a]">[a]"

⁴"How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!"

⁵Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. ⁶Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit^b]">[b] gives birth to spirit. ⁷You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You^c]">[c] must be born again.' ⁸The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.


You see, Jesus clearly stated that you must be borned again. Am I borned again? I AM! I'm borned again not because of the righteous things I did, but because of what Jesus Christ did on the cross. What Jesus Christ did on the cross? He became like us ( sinners ), and called God instead of Father (proof). He became like us on the cross, and what happened to Him? He died, so we died too! Got what I mean? He became like us and He died. He is raised up by Holy Spirit. We are dead too and being raised up by the Holy Spirit the same way He is! I'm now borned again, born of the Spirit! Just believe in what Jesus Christ did on the cross, you are borned again and have eternal life!

Say it and believe!
Father in Heaven,
You know I really love you all my heart, my soul and my mind! I must know more of your greatness, goodness and mercy so You must tell me! You love me so much that You sent your Son Jesus Christ to died on the cross for my sins so that I can meet You in heaven. I believed it! I really love you Father! I'm borned again and the Holy Spirit is in me. I want to do Your perfect will for me, for you know what's the best for me. Father, please make sure that I'm not blocking myself to do Your will. Thank You for the cross. In Jesus's name, AMEN!

Wisdom

James 3:13-18 (New International Version)

Two Kinds of Wisdom

¹³Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. ¹⁴But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. ¹⁵Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. ¹⁶For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.¹⁷But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. ¹⁸Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

Who does not want wisdom? In the bible, it clearly states that there are two kinds of wisdom. Your wisdom can been seen by your good life. They are many who preach wisdom, that you have to follow many formulas to obtain wisdom. Well, I have a good news for you!

1 Corinthians 1:30 (New International Version)

³⁰It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.

Jesus Christ has became your wisdom if you believed in Him! You inherit the wisdom of Christ, which is from GOD! Once you believed in Him sincerely, Holy Spirit will dwell into you and teach you all things..bringing rememberance of Christ. You are going to have wisdom and your wisdom are going to be seen by your good life! You do not need any formulas, all you need is Jesus Christ. Not only you gain wisdom by believing Him, but also righteousness, holiness and redemption. That's why.. He is all we need! Seek Him, all things shall be given to you! Don't worry! His grace is sufficient for you!

Matthew 6:33 (New International Version)

³³But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (New International Version)

⁹But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

That's why.. be thankful with what you have. His grace is sufficient for you! Don't complain and being unthankful! satan wants us to complain and being unthankful. I hate his skills that :
When you get no.2, satan says you are not no.1
When you score 2 goals, satan says you didnt score 3.
When you got big house, satan says you didnt get nice house.
When you have 1 million, satan says you dont have 3 million.
and the list goes on...

What can you say? You want to play games with satan? Then forever you are going to play a catch-up game with him. I chose not to play the catch up game with satan, but listen to Jesus and be thankful with I had!

Say this and believe!
Father in Heaven, I thank You for Your Son, Jesus Christ. He died for my sins and has became my wisdom, righteousness, advocate and everything! I'm going to listen and do what you say! Make me to be thankful with all I have! Thank YOU! I LOVE YOU! In Jesus's name, AMEN!

Truth about Jesus Christ....!

God has made my day incredibly happy today XD! Only God knows how to make you have the eternal joy in you BUT ONLY if you're willingly to let Him do so. No one else can, but Jesus.

Something I'm willingly to share today.

Matthew 27:46 (New International Version)

⁴⁶About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi,^a]">[a] lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"<sup>b]">[b]


Why Jesus suddenly addressed our Father in heaven as God when all the sins are punished on Him. Many say Jesus called Him God so that we can call Him Father. That's true.. but I believe there are still revelations beneath it! Why Jesus addressed our Father in Heaven as God when all the sins are punished on Him? Until I found this verse...</sup>

2 Corinthians 5:21 (New International Version)

²¹God made him who had no sin to be sin^a]">[a] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.


Jesus Christ, by calling our Father in Heaven as God, actually proved that all the sins are punished on Him. Why? Because when Jesus is at the cross, He became like us, sinners. Only sinners like us will call our Father in Heaven as God. Don't you think so? That's the best proof we have that He became like us when He called Him as God. That's the only time He addressed our Father in Heaven as God, because at that time, He became like us. All because of me. All because of you. All because of us. For your sake, He is forsaken. God is holy and He can't look at Jesus when all the sins are punished on Him. All your past/present/future worries, disbelief and problems are on Jesus that time. See how much He loves u? ...

Every day is a blessing to us. That's why people call today as present? Now everything is a gift for you to receive. Jesus is borned on this earth to die, not to live. He is borned to serve, not to be served. What a great example we have! He's the only One GOD that serve and die for your sins! He is borned to die so that we may live an eternal life! Now it's up to you, this is the only moment you need, to accept Christ. We Higherground love you..seriously want you to be saved! If it's not God, I seriously won't be wasting time here. I will never spend a time here telling about Jesus. Only God's love in us can change us from the inside out. And I'm very thankful that His love is in me and changing me each day.

God wants you to reign! Follow me and say! I believe and I receive.
Father in Heaven,
I'm really thankful for what I had now and everything is in Your perfect plan. I admit I'm a sinner that I need Jesus Christ to be my Saviour. I believed He died on the cross for my sins and raised up on the third day! I want to do God's will now. Holy Spirit take all of me! In Jesus's name, Amen

God's Love......!

When the devil says," You are hopeless; you are lifeless; you are nothing and never able to do anything."
LISTEN DEVIL! I'm not listening to your image, I'm not listening to your like. I'm made in the image of the One who defeated you on the cross 2000 years ago! You can't tell me anything about image! Because I'm made in His image! In His image, we rule!

Genesis 1:27 (New International Version)

²⁷ So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

Since we are made in the image of God, we are destined to reign under Him! Don't believe what satan says! Satan causes you to run away from God, but Jesus draws you closer to Him. Satan never tell the truth, don't ever believe or talk to him.

Example:
When satan told Eve that she will become like God after she ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Eve believed in satan and what happened?

Truth:
She got lied by satan saying that she will become like God after she ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. DOESN'T SHE ALREADY LIKE GOD EVEN BEFORE SHE ATE THE FRUIT? SHE IS MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD! SHE IS ALREADY LIKE GOD!

Therefore, never believe those evil thoughts in your mind. Replace them with the Word of God, the promises God gave us! Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins! You have to believe that you are destined to reign by following Him! Doing the Lord's will would be the best thing to do!

We are all precious gems of God! But why are we called as gems?
Because gems are precious? True. But where do gems come from? Gems come from caves ( darkness) and you need some times to take them out from the caves. It's the same like us! We are from darkness (sinful nature) yet His light shine on us which made us shinning like gems everywhere! What Jesus did on the cross causes us to be redeemed from darkness to His light! Amen! Jesus is my advocate. Whenever I sin, Jesus is there to save me. He's my saviour and made me righteous in Christ! But how can we still live in sinful life? We can't live in sinful life anymore because of what Jesus did for us! He draws me near to Him and causes me to hate sin!


One last thing, LYPG on last sunday was truly great though there are not many people! Certainly one of the best gathering I've had! Did you guys know that Jesus Christ has a praying life on earth? Jesus Christ always pray, He prays whenever He go. He is our best example to follow.

If Jesus Christ needs to pray so often, how much more we need? Let's join us in LYPG to pray for everything! We're ready to see you there!


Say this and believe it! You are only one moment away from getting the heavenly peace I got!
Father in Heaven,
I thank You for Your Son Jesus dying on the cross to wash away all my sins! I believed He made me righteous in Christ by washing all my sins! I surrender myself to You, so take all of me! I ask for Jesus's blood all over me, annoint me in everything I do. Because in all I do, I want to honour you! I pour Jesus's blood on Higherground and LYPG, let Your perfect will be done! In Jesus's name, Amen!
