Not Guilty Anymore - by Aaron Keyes
A beautiful and powerful song...
Verse
It doesn't matter what you've done
It doesn't matter where you're coming from
Doesn't matter where you've been
Hear me tell you I forgive
Chorus
You're not guilty anymore
You're not filthy anymore
I love you mercy is yours
You're not broken anymore
You're not captive anymore
I love you mercy is yours
Verse 2
Can you believe that this is true
Grace abundant I am giving you
Cleansing deeper than you know
All was paid for long ago
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge 1
There is now therefore no condemnation
For those who are in Jesus
Bridge 2
You are spotless You are holy
You are faultless You are whole
You are righteous You are blameless
You are pardoned You are mine

I Love You
A poem about God's love for me. His faithfulness to me when everything around me seemed chaotic, broken and dark.
In my brokenness, You embraced me
In my darkest night, You held me
You did not let me go
You did not leave me
You sat there at the end of my bed
You sat there on my computer chair
You held me, and
You cried with me
You never let a day go by
Without You telling me, "I Love You!"
You say it through the sun that shines in the day
You say it through the moon that glows in the night
You say it through the stars that twinkle in the sky
You say it through hugs from friends
You say it through mama's cooking
You say it through mama's cooking
You say it through papa's hugs and kisses
You never let a day go by
Without You (Daddy God) telling me, "I Love You!"

Keys to the Miraculous
Chris shares some keys on how to develop a lifestyle of demonstrating the gospel with power.
1. Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2, 4)
2. Kingdom mindsets (God is good, all the time, He's in a good mood, nothing is impossible)
3. Continual relationship with Holy Spirit (are you best friends? are you always hanging out together?)
4. Dreaming with the eyes of your heart
5. Risk (faith, God doesn't reward success, he rewards faith)
6. Feeding the testimonies
7. Fellowship with FIRE

The Gate of Heaven
When God gives me a passage in the Scripture, it is mine and everything in it is mine to experience and encounter...

Jesus' Hug
Last night, I had a dream. In this dream, I saw Jesus. He was wearing a reddish checkered shirt. (I'm not surprised though, 'cos if He was here with us right here right now, He would be wearing the kind of clothes we would wear.) He had curly beard on the sides of His face. There were other people there too. Then it changed scene to the one depicted below and now Jesus was wearing His white garment.
In this dream/scene, He gave me a real good hug. And as I hugged him back, I found and saw myself literally sinking right into and inside Him. A lot of the feelings that I experienced was undescribable. What I did feel though was comfort, peace, gentleness, acceptance and love. I did not get to see His eyes. Ohhh...I would so love to be able to look into His eyes.
(Below is the closest depiction of what I saw & experienced in the hug.)

God Does Answer The Cry Of My Heart
I am so very thankful to God for friends that hear God. And at the same time, vulnerable enough to share what they are going through and what God has said or shown them. In a time, when I myself have been going though some stuff - somehow, at the right time, He sends them my way to pray for me, encourage me and challenge me to be who God has created me to be and to go higher. The best thing of all is that, all of them bring confirmation to what God is speaking to me right now. I know now that I am not alone. There are people who have gone before me to help guide me and point me in the right direction.
Just a note to myself so I don't forget - The answer to the question of what God is testing me for, is this - WAIT, Patience, Perserverence (& the dog illustration - only those that obey the master's command gets chosen for the task). Therefore, WAIT, I shall. Not passively though, but setting my face like flint and pursuing God and keeping my eyes on Him - the finisher and perfector of my faith. For He alone holds the key to all that He has called me to be. All God's promises are YES & AMEN! Because God is not a liar, therefore what He has spoken WILL come to pass. His Word never returns void.
I realise now that Heavenly Father sometimes withholds things from us is not because He's being mean. He knows that if He were to give it to us whenever we demand or ask Him for something - then it might very well destroy us or others because we are not mature enough to handle that thing yet. He also don't want us to turn out to be like spoilt brats. It is out of His love that He waits to give it to us. It is His good pleasure to give us good gifts because all good gifts come from Him.

Living in Faith and Surrender to God
I had a great time at Planet Shakers this evening. What Ps. Russell Evans preached spoke heaps to me. What I got out of his sermon is this:
- To live a life that will bring transformation to people around you, you'll have to live a life of total abandonment to God - that means full surrender. In order to live this sort of life, I'll have to live not a fearful life but a faith-filled life. I have to fully trust God. Many times we listen to the voice of the enemy, instead of listening to the voice of our Heavenly Father. We need to listen the voice of the Winner instead of the Loser.
- I would also have to start changing my attitudes over things that God has placed in my life to accomplish - however "mundane" it may be. That means, I'd have to stop viewing everyday stuff as "chores" and start doing them with a sense of love and purpose - because what I do affects everything and everyone around me.
- Another thing that Ps. Russell preached on - is that when we love others, give to others or forgive others, we do them without expecting anything in return. That means, others can then be free to do likewise to others around them. That way, a lot more people can be touched and blessed.
Well this is just a short summary of the sermon. I'm glad I went. What a timely message for me.
"I thank You God for being so kind to me for leading and setting me back in the right direction. I thank You for loving me so much and for helping me fulfill the plans and the call that You have for my life. I thank You, Abba Daddy for not giving up on me and for being patient with me. And also for cheering me on. I love You. :-) "

These too shall pass!
I feel God is saying, "All the pain, the feelings of abandonment that you're walking through right now. All these shall pass. For I am gathering you under My wings just as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. And nothing can seperate My Love for you, for you are the apple of My eye. You are my beloved son. You are my beloved daughter. And I Love You!"
