God is with us

many days of prayers, many hours of waiting, many minutes of deliberation.
what science and medicine can't explain, faith can.
yat fie's papa need not go for any amputation op. from something that looked like a bleak situation, God turned everything around. that indeed, He is the Cure.
what a testimony it would be, that I would be able to share with those around me. people who are bogged down with physical ailments or sicknesses to put their trust in the Lord, that He reigns over everything and by His will, all shall be restored.
i'm elated, that indeed God is ALWAYS with us. that He is ever present in our family. that He listens to our cries, our prayers. that He is mighty to save.

God is also known as Emmanuel. It means 'God is with us'.
How true this is!
I thank God for everything that He has done.
Indeed, God is with us :)

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth,and even for evermore.

- Psalms 121: 1-8

hmm..many things to write about, of which some I've wanted to but I've decided to wait till the Easter is over.

Last week started with quarrels and tensions in the office, one which led me to call fie. He didn't say much, yet for reasons unknown to me, I wasn't the slightest worried about it. It wasn't the first time that something like that happened, to be hurt like that. What surprised myself more was the fact that I called him; like finally, I'm running to my Dad with bigger steps.

The messages delivered on Good Friday confirmed that something was indeed stirring in my heart and this was the culmination of it. Ps William asked of us to rise up, that God hunts for giants for us to slay; that with no battle nor obstacles, there would be no real victory. It was like a war cry to me; for if these people want me to lay down the values and principles which I live by, then I'd challenge them to come and take them. I thank God for the place I'm in, for indeed, it is a training ground for me, to prepare for God's glory. Feelings welled up inside of me, to take my battalion for Christ alone and to claim every inch of territory that the Enemy has taken from us.

I enjoyed the sharing sessions with my family. It was my first outing with them but it was a great one. we heard a lot from one another and it was really a good session. I guess Clare jiejie is right: this is really the starting of something. To be able to captialise on this fervour buring right here and now in our hearts, we'd be able to even come as one, forging new bonds and unity.
This is the season for our family to rise up!
I thank God for Jin Cai who's going off to Brunei, that he came for the miracle weekend. It brought to mind that last Dec, Melissa asked me how many people I'd like to have and by when. I said 3 and it'd be by next Good Friday. Well, looks like I've only got 1 and even that 1 is leaving soon. But I believe this is a good pot of soil that I'm investing in and that one day, I'd see the harvest. I commit my friend into His hands and that His word would be like a seed planted in his heart, that it would eventually blossom and be fruitful.
A year isn't too long. It's worth the wait. I'm sure.

Yat Fie's papa was hospitalised and we went and prayed for him. It was the first time I ever prayed for somebody i didn't know and in chinese too. But what was supposed to be an amputation just got postponed and postponed! Blood was flowing into a once-dead toe and it has become less swollen and red from Yat Fie's accounts. Praise the Lord, for He's really the Cure! Let's continue to pray brothers, for I'm sure we all want to see more from the Lord. Let there be a testimony of God's awesomeness come from our family that indeed God is good!

On the bus home, victoriette fell on her way up the bus. I guess it was rather painful but I saw nuanyi's hand reach out for her right away. She brushed herself and was all smiles again even though, the cut still hurts. I guess our walk with God is something like that, when we falter, He will immediately rush to us and pick us up. Our God is sometimes One who hides Himself but never One that absents Himself; sometimes in the dark, but never at a distance!
The lashes on His back, the curses hurled at Him and the nail pierced hands..they never fail to amaze me how much God love us, that the One who knew no sin died on our behalf.
And with that love, that strength, am I confident that it's time for us to rise up for tis the year of victory! Let us rise up as champions of Christ and fight the good fight!
The Lord gave me this verse durin yesterday night's QT and it'd be good to end with this:

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you.
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence. O Lord.
They rejoice in your name all day long; they exult in your righteousness. For you are their glory and strength and by your favour you exalt our horn.
Indeed, our shield belongs to the Lord, our king to the Holy One of Israel.
(Psalm 89:14-18)

Today's copy of LIFE! section caught my eye. It's titled 'Road to Damascus' and it shows the splendid ruins of Palmyra in Syria.
This brought to mind, Paul in Acts, where he was on the road to Damascus, seeking to decimate the Christian community there.

He had set out from Jerusalem for Syrian Damascus, with the authority to arrest those followers of Jesus and bring them back to Jerusalem in chains for questioning and possible execution. Yet on his way, he was struck blind by a brilliant light from heaven and he heard the Lord asking, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
As the chapters go, we see that Paul now blinded and healed through Aanasis by the Lord, restoring his sight and we witnessed the conversion of Paul.

The conversion of Paul let us witness the love of our Lord.
Look at Acts 9:13-15
"Lord, " Ananias answered. "I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem. And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name."
But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! This man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel."

Paul's conversion is a testimony to the absolute forgiveness of our sins, shortcomings and trangressions that we are offered by faith and grace through belief in Christ. Paul's persecution of Christians was a grave sin but at the same time it conveys a message that any sinner, no matter how bad his sins, is forgivable.

We're sinful by nature, and yes, at times we stumble and falter. Often, we find ourselves on the road to Damascus; on the way to committing sin that is, be it temptations, anger or negative feelings or harsh words to people around. God meets us where we are at, whether it’s on the road to ruin from drugs, alcohol or any other kind of self-destructive sin. Just as Jesus went to the homes of sinners to share His Good News with them, so does He come to us where we are to offer His salvation. We only have to say yes to His invitation, like Paul did. God calls out to us, to turn our backs on sin and walk with Him.

The 'Road to Damascus" has become a metaphor in reference to a sudden conversion of thought or a change of heart or mind in today's language. Paul was a persecutor of Christians yet God forgave him and made him one of the greatest servants in Christian history. No life is useless or too far gone for God. He has a purpose for all of us and can forgive us no matter what if we are willing to ask for His forgiveness and accept it as His gift to us. What miracle might He have in store for you?
