Conversation In Heaven

GOD: Angels, do you know what I was just thinking about?
ANGELS: What were You thinking about?

GOD: Christians seem to have forgotten what kind of power they have
available and the devil keeps on deceiving them!
ANGELS: God, exactly what are you driving at?

GOD: I have made my children in such a way that when the people of the
world is sitting, they would be standing, when the world is standing,
they
will stand out, when the world stands out, my children must be
outstanding
and when the devil dares the world to be outstanding, my people will be
the
standards to be used!
JESUS CHRIST: They (Christians) are also forgetting the words in
Ephesians
1:3.

GOD: Please read it out!
ANGEL: PRAISE BE TO THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO HAS
BLESSED US IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES WITH EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING IN
CHRIST.

ANGEL: So what do we do now since the end is almost near?
HOLY SPIRIT: My Presence is still among men and I will teach and remind
the
Christians of all that we have discussed. I will also make sure that
they
pass this message on!

JESUS CHRIST: I will also keep on interceding for them and stand in for
them even in their weaknesses.

GOD: I will also make sure that I give to all those who ask of me, seek
me
and try to find me, the blessings I have promised them through my son
Jesus
Christ will be delivered to all those who discover that I, Jehovah, I
am
ready to bless them! Not because of any special things that they have
done,
but just because I LOVE THEM!
JESUS CHRIST: I will also give all my followers who are willing to pass
this conversation on, enough strength to carry on!

ANGELS: We are all backing THE TRINITY and even the devil cannot stop
us!
How funny! Christians are finally taking over and.......

DEVIL (eavesdropping behind the gates): I hope you all heard! I will
deploy
more troops (demons) and make sure the Christians pray less, read their
Bibles less, preach less and make sure this mail does not move
anywhere!
Also.....

YOU SURE HEARD THAT! THE DEVIL WILL MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT PASS THIS ON
BUT
PROVE HIM WRONG AND SHOW HIM THE POWER YOU HAVE IN CHRIST JESUS AS A
CHRISTIAN. PRAY MORE, STUDY THE WORD MORE AND PREACH THE WORD! DO NOT
DISAPPOINT GOD! PASS IT ON!

AMEN!!!!

I Can Only Imagine

By Mercy Me

I can only imagine what it will be like
When I walk by your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see
When your face is before me
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

Surrounded by your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus?
Or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence?
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Halelluja?
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine when that day comes
And I find myself standing in the Son
I can only imagine when all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

Yeap all of these games are old ones, and fortunately for me. I was able to backup all these games before the floppy disk gotten faulty and grew fungus on em.. Anyway, apart from that.. I managed to venture in into more of video editting. Got another few more software to play with. So all is good.. Apart from that, I also learn that investing is more less like gambling. Bwhahahaha..

The Lord still loves Lundu

Went to Lundu yesterday. It was indeed a fruitful trip once again.. And this time, the bridge is completed.. Which mean it's time for me to go up there often :P Anyway.. So let me start how this trip was organized.. It all began when the week before, the youth were asking me if I wanted to join them to go to Lundu next Saturday.. I was like ok.. Why not.. Let's go.. But when they told me the time they had to depart was like 8 am.. I was like.. Ermmm. Ok.. If you don't see me there by 8.. I"ll go there on my own :D So it was set. Then Queen V asked me to lead worship up there.. I was like.. Ok.. Hmmm. Since it's going to be chinese, well.. Why not.. Take simple songs will do.. Ok. .That was that.. So after that, went and told Ketam saying that I'll be heading up to Lundu.. He said he'll confirm again with me.. So oklorr. Worst comes to worst, no one can go I'll join the youth then :P So on friday nite, Rev. Law came and did a bit of sharing on evangelism.. Then Ketam was saying he would only be able to leave at noon time.. Hmm.. So ok.. Put that aside I went and got help from Sim to help me translate a few songs into Chinese... Which then started to grab the attention of Prismfire and Caca.. Who turned out to be a real big help in choosing songs.. So, they too were sort of got involved with the Lundu trip. So ok.. After everything was over, the next day went off with Caca, Elmund & Ketam.. On the way there, since it was a long way.. We thought we wanted to have a sing-along session. But end up we began to practice for the afternoon worship.. . It was fun if I don't mind saying it.. Despite of all the wrong pronunciation once in a while, but end up got it good.. BWhahaha.. So I learn a few songs during that car ride.. Not to bad for a banana.. We arrived Lundu in exactly one hour, and we first head off for lunch.. After lunch contacted Queen V and told her we're at the church.. So while we were waiting we began to practice again on how do we do the ice breaker.. Then we sang the "very good believe in Jesus" song.. Hahaha.. Translate that to hokkien :P

Then the youth came as well and we sort of like run through with them so that at least they're able to blend in with the Lundu youth.. So when the praise and worship starts, we had a good time making people going around shaking hands as well as high five everyone else.. Then we sang songs like "Hallelujah, Praise Ye the Lord (Whereby Ketam and Prismfire lead the group into battle with each other), Jehovah Jireh, Sing hallelujah, & Thank you, thank you, Jesus" all in chinese. All in all, it was all good.. Then we played games that Elmund brought up in the retreat.. This time the chinese clan won the battle, and orang ulu was more gentle compared to the previous batch.. And once again the cowboy team lost.. So all is good.. After that the youth took over the games.. Once the game was over, caca shared with the children of Lundu about loving your neighbor. Then she closed with a prayer for everyone.. After that, we makan "eng tao peng" and junk food.. After the youth left cleaning the place and arranging the chairs, we waited for Queen V to send the other children home.. But 2 remained there playing the piano. So I went over and see how they were doing and thought them a little bit of technique that was once passed down to me in order to make them have more interest in playing the piano.. :) Anyway, we did a short jamming session, and they two little girls enjoyed themselves.. So all is good, and which make me want to go up there to help them out so that they'll be able to serve in church when they're ready :P After that, all of us went back and that was how the trip to Lundu went. And I believed that all of us who went up there didn't go back empty handed. Though the journey was long, but we were definitely joyful and glad that everything well despite our language problem.. Praise the Lord. Even though we were sort of limited with the language, but our willingness to serve the people there. God made use to what we have, and made it complete.. So it was a breakthrough especially for me.. Never thought that I'll be singing chinese songs during praise and worship.. And now I would like to thank everyone, in no particular order...

Thank you Sim, for being there to help translate and read the chinese words in the song book. Really appreciate it, if it wasn't for you.. All of us wouldn't be able to do praise & worship..

And also Iris, who also helped us translate a song, though we never used it. And the willingness to accept our call of distress at ungodly hour.. Thank you very much for the things you have done. :)

Prismfire, for driving us there as well as leading the praise and worship. really appreciate you bro.. You have done so much, and yet asked so little.. May God continue to bless you in everything that you do. And that you have blessed the little ones in Lundu with your charisma, joy as well as love.. Thank you so much for the support you gave in helping me through the session..

Caca, without you we wouldn't be able to have the ping yin as well as the slides used during the trip. I thank God that, you came during cell group and that you were there was not a coincidence but there for a purpose.. And that Prismfire & your past experience in a chinese youth really paid off. I do hope to see the both of you going up to Lundu again, and continue to make an impact to the youth there as well.. ^_^
Si Ketam, the encourager during the whole time. As well, as the guy whom I always made fun of "Intentionally".. Anyway, you're presence there really made a different though you almost pulled out.. But I'm glad that you're able to join us as well..

Chief, if it wasn't for your song book, we wouldn't be able to choose the songs that we sang that afternoon. And thank you for your support as well.. ^_^

To the bunch of youth that went up there.. I'm glad that all of you also learnt something that you can never take things for granted in life.. When you visited homes, and you noticed how they lived.. I do hope that all of you will remember this picture for life.. And never compare yourself with those who are living better than you, but rather than those who are less fortunate.. So I do hope you guys will be able to go up there and rock the place.. ^_^

And of course not to forget.. The one who had been keeping me sane and supporting me in every ministry that I venture in to. My precious Deluxe, thank you for your love and support throughout all these time.. Even though you weren't with me there physically, but I know you were back there supporting me in your prayers.. ^_^ If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be where I am right now. And I thank God that He put you in my life. And not forgetting the advices you gave me, really did help me and assured me that everything will be all right.. Thank you for all you've done for me.

And to others as well, who prayed for the group that went up to Lundu. I thank you that, we are safe through out the whole journey.. I do hope that the unity and cares that you guys have shown really made a difference. Thank you...

Finally, to the person that gave us this heart to serve Lundu. The person who is always there to help us when we needed it. The person who made sure that everything will go through smoothly.. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name.. Thank you very much for giving us this opportunity to experience something which we thought that we could never experienced. Thank you so much for allowing us to be used by you. And the joy you gave each and everyone of us.. If it wasn't for you, all this wouldn't be successful. Thank you once again...

WHY GO TO CHURCH?

If you're spiritually alive, you're going to love this! If you'respiritually dead, you won't want to read it. If you're spirituallycurious, there is still hope!

Why Go To Church?

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complainedthat it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've gone for 30years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one ofthem... So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wastingtheirs by giving sermons at all."

This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column,much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someonewrote this clincher:"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entiremenu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this... They allnourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wifehad not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today.Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would bespiritually dead today!" When you are DOWN to nothing.... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible andreceives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritualnourishment!

All right... now that you're done reading ......send it on!!! I think everyone should read this!! "When Satan is knocking at your door, simplysay,"Jesus, could you get that for me?!!"
