"...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

Prayer that tarries

It was a great emotional and spiritual experience when the saints gather together to pray like what we did yesterday morning. Ps Ronald's reminder is still ringing in my ears. It reminded me about that AW Tower said about altar-call, "Dun come to the altar to (merely) pray about it, go home and live it" (emphasis mine). At first it sounded like he was pouring cold water over the fire that was building in the room, but it was so apt that he said what he said. What a timely reminder about persevering in prayer and in our spiritual walk in the midst of so many distrations.

I prayer and I cried when we sang "Believe", not because I "can't even find my bible" or the power of the christ has left me, it just that when I work I don't spend much time in prayer in the spirit (coz multitasking is not my forte). That was why I sometimes say "I miss God". I know He'll never leave me nor forsake me, I must live by faith knowing and believing what He is with me despite being busy. Sadly, it proves that I am not totally Christ-minded all the time. I may not be on my knees praying, but I really want to "pray in the spirit at all times with all kinds of prayers" (Eph 6:18) Revival cannot happen if the people don't pray. I felt the need for revival in R-age, in Grace Assembly of God. I need to pray!

Manrong reminded me today about Rex "prophecy" at the retreat. Frankly speaking, I didn't think about what he said much, but I didn't doubt God has already begun working in my since last year. What Rex spoke about to me and SW was like a confirmation. But I realised that the youths and my friends are watching my life. Like it or not I am under the microscope to some people (All the more I have to under the guidiance of the Spirit at all times).

Oh help me O Lord as I go to work now to always keep my spirit in touch with Yours...
