Australian Federal Election Prayer - 31 August 2013 - 7 September 2013

Lord i saw Your Faithfullness again and again

Even in my moments of weaknesses, Your grace is sufficient in my life.
Lord I thank You for the grace that You have given me to be a partaker of this prayer ministry.
We know Lord that its all about You, what a privilege it is to be able to share Your heart for this season of time in Australia.

Lord I thank You for Your encouragement and Your strength for each day.
I thank You for the resources and the people that You have provided in making all these possible
We know Lord that it is You Who calls and it is You Who equips that we are all mere vessels of Yours

Father I am indeed speechless at the amazing encounters that You have blessed me with through this.

I know now more than ever that we can do nothing without the Body of Christ as each members does its work to fulfill all parts of the Body
I know that not a single person can never run a huge meeting without the support of the Body of Christ
I remember how You shared through the life of Heidi Baker and Reinhard Bonnke how they themselves mentioned that they are mere faces of these ministries but they themselves are not able to eventuate any crusades without the support of the Body of Christ that they have.

"10 Love each other deeply. Honor others more than yourselves. 11 Never let the fire in your heart go out. Keep it alive. Serve the Lord. 12 When you hope, be joyful. When you suffer, be patient. When you pray, be faithful. 13 Share with God's people who are in need. Welcome others into your homes. 14 Bless those who hurt you. Bless them, and do not call down curses on them.15 Be joyful with those who are joyful. Be sad with those who are sad. 16 Agree with each other. Don't be proud. Be willing to be a friend of people who aren't considered important. Don't think that you are better than others. 17 Don't pay back evil with evil. Be careful to do what everyone thinks is right. 18 If possible, live in peace with everyone. Do that as much as you can. 19 My friends, don't try to get even. Leave room for God to show his anger. It is written, "I am the One who judges people. I will pay them back,"#1(Deuteronomy 32:35)#2 says the Lord. 20 Do just the opposite. Scripture says, "If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. By doing those things, you will pile up burning coals on their heads." #1(Proverbs 25:21,22)#2"

Romans 12:10-20 [New International Reader's Version]

What a humbling process Lord, thank You for the experiences with You. I really am grateful for how You have molded me.

Lord i thank You for having Sue Tinworth, Ps. Tony Hodges and Ps. Bram Manusama to have come and joined us in this prayer meeting. Thank You for bringing these Kingdom connections into our lives.
Lord I pray that You alone be glorified and may Your Name be lifted up upon Australia now until the end of time!

Lord we thank You for the new government in which You have elected, Father I pray that Your glory will cover Australia as the waters cover the sea.
Father I thank You for the amazing evangelist movement that will flood this nation and impact this generation with such hunger for righteousness, holiness and a great Revelation of Your Word.
Great is Your unfailing to this generation.

"All the ends of the earth
    will remember and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
    will bow down before him,
28 for dominion belongs to the Lord
    and he rules over the nations." [Psalm 22:27-28]

"Posterity will serve him;
    future generations will be told about the Lord." [Psalm 22:30]

From Your Beloved daughter,

We are His Masterpiece, created for His glory !

I was reading a really good book written by Evangelist Daniel Kolenda called "Live before You Die" and the book tells a story of how an artist had found a flawed piece of rock that was rejected by others.

He then worked at it night after nights until one day he unveil the great masterpiece called "David" and the artist name is Michelangelo.

Ref:

"To make this statue, Michelangelo was given a piece of flawed marble that another artist had started but given up. Indeed, he was asked to finish a sculpture of the David originally blocked out in 1464. It’s documented that on Sept 9, 1501, he apparently knocked off a “certain knot” that had been on the David’s chest. We believe this “knot” to be the flaw."

http://www.turismo.intoscana.it/allthingstuscany/tuscanyarts/michelangelo-david-facts/

The Lord then spoke to me very clearly. How many times do we tend to focus on someone's flaw and someone's weaknesses more than the God given potential that was deposited into each of this individual?

He amazed me by saying that there is nothing impossible with Him as long as we have faith in Him, the hardest and most flawed rock He can turn into a great piece of art that would marveled crowds & draw multitudes.

The Father created all things to be good,

"For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him."

Colossians 1:16

"Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made." John 1:3

If we are made for Him then of course He will only make something good as He Himself is good!

"43 “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers." Luke 6:43-44

God can change someone and restore them to His original intent and purposes in that person's life. The question is now, do we only see the flawed parts of the person or do we actually see with His eyes and look into the God given potential that someone has?

God in His eyes would know exactly what that person could have done for His Kingdom had he continually abide in Him. Therefore we must ask for His heart and His eyes that we may see through His heart of love and His eyes of faith that sees beyond what is superficial.

Lets stop focusing on the flaws of the person and let these discernment raise an awareness in our heart to break through with intercession. Let the lack does not bother us from throwing our arms around the individual and lifting them up to be where our Father desires them to be.

Start our day by giving thanks to the Lord, singing Him praises and worshiping the Lord with all that we are. Praise the Lord that He is full of Love, the flaws in us does not stop Him from declaring His purposes over us. As we make declaration of His Words over ourselves, we would then walk with confidence that we are created all for Him, that we are greatly favoured and blessed by Him and most importantly that we are deeply loved by Him.With the right perception of who we are as individuals in Him, we are also able to bring others into the light. 

Have the heart and the eyes of the Master Creator. As Michelangelo had to spent nights chiseling down the flawed rock and having the faith that the rock would turn to be the piece of art he had envisioned, we ought to do the same.

To love a flawed person can sometimes be easy but most of the time it would be hard. The layers of the past hurts and rejection would require extra effort chiseling them down as well as carving out the wrong parts that was implemented by the old lifestyle. Break through with Love!

"4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

The most excellent way is to love. By having His eyes and His heart, we will have the faith to see that potential in others. Always believe that nothing is impossible with God and move with His compassion.

As an artist requires time to chisel and carve, it also requires time for us to spend with the people around us that needs His touch. It requires time, energy, money, sacrifice, endurance, perseverance, persecution, etc.

This is an unavoidable part of shepherding. But the ultimate question is are you willing to do it? Are you willing to spend time, effort, energy, emotions and financial means just so that God's glory will be manifested in that person?

This is a question that He had asked me recently and one that we should ask ourselves in the sight of God.

"10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward." 1 Corinthians 3:10-14

The most precious stones found on earth tends to be one that needs to be dug deeper within the Earth soil. Similarly a person's giftings and talents may sometime be hidden deep inside all of those hurts and baggages of the past.

The challenge is, would you be the person who is willing to lift those bagages aside and mend the brokenhearted?

:Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did." 1 john 2:6

"But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7

Lets all bring glory to His Name, He wants us to love His sheep and accept the little children. As one goes away He would leave the 99 behind and bring the one back because of His Love.
Lets imitate Him and reveal His glorious selfless Love unto this world that is decaying in love. Lets look back to how God met us, we were imperfectly a sinner and yet He chose to love us first that we may love Him back.

Take the step, look deeper, ask the Lord for His eyes and His heart!
He will give it to you :)!

"For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:8

Good life vs Kingdom driven life

Many times in my walk with God, people around me will ask me to settle for something that's only good without first knowing what is God's will in my life.

So many times i ignore it and they choose to not understand why.

I believe to live and follow God in the fullness of His purpose in our lives meant that we have to live more than a 'good' life.

God cannot be mocked, you reap what you sow. If you sow compromise then you will live a compromised life. But if you choose to live by His standards then be sure to see His Kingdom be manifested richly in your life. He is more than able to supply all of your needs according to the riches of His glory :)!

Our lifestyle will determine whether we are seeking to just live in the 'good' standard of the world or are we choosing to follow His Kingdom living standards.

The Word of God says:


Romans 14:17-18 NKJV

for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

Serving God doesn't just mean we do "good" things but by His grace we seek for His righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit to be manifested in our lives.

Whether it is a question about your partner in life or the life decisions to be made. I will seek for His Kingdom first which is about righteousness, joy and peace in the Holy Spirit.

I want to always walk with Him and live within His Kingdom. If it means waiting then waiting it shall be. For i will enjoy the process and the journey i have with our Beloved Father Who plans for us, believing that "every good and perfect gift comes from above."

The things which are seemingly good may not be the right one for us, no matter how promising it seems. Hence its important to "...acknowledge Him in all of our ways and He will direct our paths straight."

Not every 'good' person is the right companion for your life. It takes a lot more than just being 'good' or even anointed. God brings His people together for a specific purpose to glorify His Name.

The right person will bring His will to be manifested in a greater measure, together you will achieve more of His purpose in your life.

Being a good person does not automatically mean that it is the right person. It has more weight than that. Your calling, God's standard in your lives, His revelations, etc must coincide with each other in order for you to be able to walk hand in hand for a lifetime. You must be equally yoke in His calling and His desires to be able to walk in the same pace and thus achieving more together by walking with the same energy, vision and passion in His service :)!

To do good is not enough, we need to rely on Holy Spirit to work through us and overflow out of us to bring His Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven. We need His wisdom and to always allow His dreams to be manifested in our lives ♥.

"TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER AMEN"

Stay Close - Cory Asbury

I want to be Your friend,
One who will sit and hear Your words
I want to walk with You
Down this lonely, narrow road
But God, You know my weak estate;
You know how I need Your hand of grace
To come and pull me up to where You are

Chorus:

I wanna stay close to the fire in Your eyes,
To the burnings of Your heart
I don’t wanna grow cold
So come and set Your seal of love upon my heart,
Love as strong as death
Till I’m forever Yours

I wanna be found in the council of the Lord
With a heart that’s after Yours
I don’t wanna grow cold
So come and set Your seal of love upon my heart,
Love as strong as death
Till I’m forever Yours

Bridge:

All-consuming Fire of love, come burn away what hinders love
Till I am only, only Yours, till I am only, till I am only Yours

Faith is spelled R-I-S-K ! Walk radically, take risks and witness His grace is always sufficient. Leave the place of succumbing to fear and let Holy Spirit's boldness takes  you for a joy ride. He equips those He called. You already have access to heaven's account, Reach in and deliver those blessings to those in need. See it with your eyes of faith and not your circumstance. Freedom is in living by faith and walking in His Love constantly =] ♥! Hallelujah Jesus :D He!

Know that you are... =]

"Wake up each day knowing that you are,

                                  HIGHLY FAVOURED, DEEPLY LOVED & GREATLY BLESSED
                                ... by the CREATOR of the UNIVERSE."

then you will know that,

"...If God is for us, who can be against us?" [Romans 8:31 - NKJV]

the world doesn't seem too hard anymore eh... =]?

Faith does not require seeing but believing ~ !

On the 1st January 2013, I woke up with a phrase that I believe will become a theme for this season of my life.

He said to me,

"Faith does not require seeing but believing..."

I believe that this year as I have asked of Him, over and over again, will be a time where my faith will be increased that i may grow in His fullness and to walk by faith as Enoch walked =] <3 !

I know one thing is certain in my life is that I will always have You with me, that You will never leave me nor forsake me. That Your Word Lord is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Whenever I feel insecure, let me find assurance in You always.

You are the strength of my life, my joy is in You and I take pleasure in worshiping You Lord >3<!!

I am in love with You Jesus, You are truly the King of my Heart.
Make each day of my life be full of You, less of me but More and MORE of YOU !

Have Your ways oh Holy Spirit God and let Your will be done in me.

Transform this little vessel of Yours to carry Your Joy unto the nations. Lead me to a place of constant surrender unto You and make me be humble in Your Presence. Let me live from a place of rest and intimacy with You that I may walk out with Your anointing, strength, wisdom and character.

Make me Your Presence carrier, Your joy giver and let Your Love continuously overflow in my life.

This is my whole heart I give to You and make it all Yours my God, Be glorified and Magnified, now and until for ever and ever ! Amen !

Love,

"Your Beloved Daughter"
