isa 25 - 7.9.08
"in that day the people will proclaim, 'this is our God. we trusted in Him, and He saved us.
This is the LORD, in whom we trusted. let us rejoice in the salvation He brings!"
prophet Isaiah exalted and praised God because God will complete what He had promised to His people long ago. God gave Isaiah the vision of the final judgement as well as restoration of the Glory of God in the end times when God ruled the earth.
Isaiah praised God and lifted up His name, though all these events are not yet been taken place, which is something that is still 'unseen'. and this is the one thing that makes Isaiah so different among the prophets in his times. Isaiah is able to see the 'vision, and the whole picture of God rather than seeing things with his own eye or from the perspectives of the world. this is very important as a prophet of God in his time. only you alone know what you speak on behalf is from God or not. perhaps many things in life that God has promised to us are yet to be fulfill. but while waiting on His timing, somehow we lose our heart in this journey or even to the extreme, we 'forget' about all these promises. bible always remind us that God's promises need to be claim by His believers. we need no fear in what He has promised - those blessing as well as the cursing, for what He said He will fulfill. but we ought to have faith and believe in what He has started off in us and trust that He is the finisher of all things.
this is our God! He is the beginning and the end, alpha and omega. He is faithful and just. all
that He said or promised to you through bible or Rhema will be fulfill. He remembers
every prayers and tears that His children broke down for Him, even those promises that we'd
forgotten but He remembers it till the end of the day. therefore, have faith in Him, His characters and
His love, trust Him in times of disappointment, let's believe in God for His unchanging love
towards all of us and He will never short change even one of us. in times that we couldn't see what God is doing, let be stilled in His presence and know that He is God.
and surely on that day when God comes through, we will declare and shout out loud that,"indeed this is our God. we trusted in Him...we will rejoice in the salvation He brings!"
God place every difficult situations in life for one purpose; it's to mold us and refine us to be His
pure gold and fine silver. a trial that set you to excel, not intend to fail you, not based on your grades or performances to impress Him, but instead, it's all about your capacity of FAITH in Him. let's rise up and be a generation
of excellent in FAITH and TRUST...
GOD BLESS =)

Spirit of Discernment
spirit of discernment
these words appeared to me last night as i spend my personal time in worship and prayer. i must admitted that my spiritual walk had reached to a huge wall that i'm struggling to climb it through. my worship wasn't that excited anymore, my prayers wasn't that passionate anymore. and i started to doubt that whether i'm still have a genuine relationship with Jesus anymore just like how i used to be. my relationship with God has challenged and i need a breakthrough of that.
and last night i decided to spend some time with God, thrown away the worry of the time and the agenda and so on. i just wanna spend some time with God and draw near to Him again.
as i begun to worship and pray, i know deep inside my heart that God has NEVER leave me nor forsake me. He is still there when my heart is broken and crying out to Him. the peace of God filled my heart as i begun to hear His whisper to me, "I have seen you, i have heard you, you are always in my coverage."
the affirmation of God is so strong to me. in times that i'm not aware He's there, in times that i didn't feel His presence He's there as well. He loves me so much that never there is one second He is looking elsewhere beside me.
but then why i still can not 'see', 'hear' or 'touch' Him even when Jesus is dying to draw near to me?part of the reason i found out is that we, Jesus and me or us, are not looking on the same direction with one another. love relationship is a two sided relationship and required both parties to take part on that. love on one side is not complete and perfect love, it will struggle to find its balance and collapse one day.
i believe same principle apply to our relationship with Jesus. God rebuked me that i was side-tracked and loss my focus on Him. all the experience i had over these few years has take me to a whole new level of my faith in God. just like the circle of the four season, spirit life has its own season to come.
as i prayed and ask God what should i do to climb over the spiritual 'huge wall' in front of me, the word 'spirit of discernment' come into my head. these are not strange words to me, in fact this was one of the spiritual gift that Janice ask me to pray about when i was still in high school.
to be honest, i have limited understanding and knowledge towards this gift and i still searching for more deep insight of the gift. i believe this is my word of the season. i'm excited to see the brand new season of my life. whose knows maybe it's not, but anything take will take me a step closer to God is worth my trying.
