"...but of Love, of Joy and of a Sound Mind."

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25

Crawl to China

Is God asking you to crawl to China - or just to cross the street?
To trudge through the desert through Arabian heat
Or to accomplish the impossible - an Herculean feat
Or maybe just trade in bad thoughts obsolete


Is it the concentration camps at Dackow?
Is it Joan of Arc revisited?
Niagara Falls in a barrel?
Or to mend a broken relationship instead?


Crawl to China

He is faithful - it remains in His hands
From the cold barren Arctic to the war stricken lands
From the place in your heart where despair takes its hold
To the lairs of the demons where deceptions are told
Is God asking you to crawl to China or just to cross the street?


Crawl to China

With emotional rigormortis freezing your step
You won’t be going far at all
It feels pretty safe but the danger is real
You won’t grow until you face the fear that you feel


Crawl to China

By TOURNIQUET

This is an incredible song by one of favourite bands all time Tourniquet. I was taking a showing before I start my final day of preparation and this song just came to my mind.

Firstly I want to thank God for all the endless encouragement and prayers from my friends. Now the journey is not a crawl but a flight. It's the same feeling to what Isaiah said about mounting with wings like an eagle; oh to feel the breeze of the Lord lift me up over my troubles!! What a great God we serve! With this great confidence that has been bestowed upon me, I'll serve with with power from on high so that I shall boast of nothing about myself, but in everything "Halellu Jah, the LORD reigns!"

But Oh Lord, give me the attitude of Christ. Give me the attitude of a servant like what u did on earth so that when I boast, I boast of my master and not myself. All that I have and all that I am is because of who you are to me. Praise Ur everlasting Name!

Second, the thought of the day I want to leave you guys is this:

"You won’t grow until you face the fear that you feel"

We have a great God that the bible has testified about. If God can do all those things for people in the bible, surely He can do it for us if we ernestly ask Him too. I do not believe that God is silent like those so-called "400 lost years". I believed that He just waited but still work thru people of great faith, but not on a large national level that were recorded in scripture. I believe that it's the same today. God is "silent" but his words are coming to past through events in history. We are living in exciting times! It's so super-duper awesome when u understand that the hand of God is still very much active just as He was in the days of old. Back then God spoke thru his servants (real authentic ones). Today, we don't hear about those servants (but there are great preachers who affirm the already spoken word of God), but God is moving and He is moving even more than before!

I don't care if the people are not moving, they are gonna just missed out on the Lord. And when He said he is able and mighty to save. He will do it indeed for His people who bear His name. The fear that I feel is nothing when the power of the Holy Spirit empowers the heart. Now I can grow because of the Lord's work within.

"I am growing because I faced the fear that I felt"

Crawl to china!!
Crawl to China!!
Crawl to China!!

*If you really want to hear this song, let me know, I'll be glad to share this song with you after I return. Meanwhile keep us in prayer!!
