"is it fair to walk past a homeless man and give him nothing in the assumption that he'll spend it on booze or cigarettes or would you suggest he go out and get a job?"-Joelhouston

love. and not judge. without Christ, we can do nothing.

nouns and verbs.

"And as my very essence is a verb," she continued, "I am more attuned to verbs than nouns. Verbs such as confessing, repenting, living, loving, responding, growing, reaping, changing, sowing, running, dancing, singing, and on and on. Humans, on the other hand, have a knack for taking a verb that is alive and full of grace and turning it into a dead noun or principle that reeks of rules: something growing and alive dies. Nouns exist because there is a created universe and physical reality, but if the universe is only a mass of nouns, it is dead. Unless 'I am', there are no verbs, and vertbs are what makes the universe alive."
      ---excerpted, The Shack, WM. Paul Young

goodness.

"Mack, just because I work incredible good out of unspeakable tragedies doesn't mean I orchestrate the tragedies. Don't ever assume that my using something means I caused it or that I need it to accomplish my purposes. That will only lead you to false notions about me. Grace doesn't depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colors."

                        ---excerpt, The Shack, WM Paul Young.

belief.

and there it was again. wow what confirmation on Sunday, after a great time spent in the word on Saturday.

Abraham believed God--and he became the father of many nations.
Smith Wigglesworth believed God--and he raised more than 14 people from the dead.
The Roman Centurion believed God--that God's spoken word was enough for his servant.
Simon Peter believed God--and he caught fish.

haha! it just blew my mind away! becos God can do anything! and He will do everything GOOD! Rev Col Stringer also spoke about the awakening that he feels we're on the brink of--i can't wait. God is so gracious though, to not impose His views on those who choose not to believe He can do things that are out of this world--i need to be like that. He gave us free choice. and i really should honor that, too. : )

love.

I feel like, the love revolution is on the brink of breaking out all over the globe. Maybe it already has. : )

2 love projects spontaneously conceived at 2 different places at about the same time. Singapore, and Melbourne. Project Love, Just Because, and Project: Share The Love. Reminded me of the crazy things the Dreamcenter does back in LA. We've received radical grace. now it's time to impart radical love.

I don't know how. Only You do.

Oh and MatthewBarnett's coming to town! : )

who's with me.

Show the love of Christ.

this way and that.

Numbers
 ²¹ But Moses said, "Here I am among six hundred thousand men on foot, and you say, 'I will give them meat to eat for a whole month!' ²² Would they have enough if flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? Would they have enough if all the fish in the sea were caught for them?"
 ²³ The LORD answered Moses, "Is the LORD's arm too short? You will now see whether or not what I say will come true for you."
 ----------------
Personal experiences are often used as references to what should/should not happen; what should/should not be done. It's sad but true--that we dimensionalize God that way. We believe that He should work this way, and no other. Until He throws a curveball answer to your prayer.

I've been thinking about this for some time now, thought i'd take some time to pen down my thoughts. It's tough--even the great healing evangelist Benny Hinn has been maligned for dabbling in sorcery when all he did was to cast a demon out of a woman, albeit forcefully. Just because you haven't seen a demon cast out in this way before doesn't mean it's all a hoax. In the same way, if you haven't seen the anointing and power of the Holy Spirit, it doesn't mean that He isn't real. The Holy Spirit inside of us will separate the meat from the bones. He is closer to us than we think. And He doesn't humiliate. He's pure love.

Don't dimensionalize Him. How do you limit someone who's limitless? it's mind-boggling.

William Seymour prophesied a greater awakening a 100 years from 1909. A greater awakening as compared to the Azusa Street revival. A revival with greater creative miracles and a greater outpouring of love? I can't wait. : )

worship.

Exalted, You will ever be exalted
You are worthy of honor and praise
Adore You, I will ever stand before You
To worship and praise You all my days

surrender.

"Surrender is not the surrender of the external life, but of the will; when that is done, all is done. There are very few crises in life; the great crisis is the surrender of the will. God never crushes a man's will into surrender, He never beseeches him, He waits until the man yields up his will to Him. That battle never needs to be refought."

"After surrender--what? The whole of the life after surrender is an aspiration for unbroken communion with God."

-Oswald Chambers. My Utmost for His Highest.

if only you knew. : )

over and underneath.

it seems these days, i've been hearing through songs. so i'm going to carry on with this next one also by Tenth Avenue North:

I hear You say,"My love is over. It's underneath.
It's inside. It's in between.
The times you doubt Me, when you can't feel.
The times that you question, 'Is this for real? '
The times you're broken.
The times that you mend.
The times that you hate Me, and the times that you bend.
Well, My love is over, it's underneath.
It's inside, it's in between.
These times you're healing, and when your heart breaks.
The times that you feel like you're falling from grace.
The times you're hurting.
The times that you heal.
The times you go hungry, and are tempted to steal.
The times of confusion, in chaos and pain.
I'm there in your sorrow, under the weight of your shame.
I'm there through your heartache.
I'm there in the storm.
My love I will keep you, by My pow'r alone.
I don't care where you fall, where you have been.
I'll never forsake you, My love never ends.
It never ends."

it's true.

strength.

i fail. but You're there to say, it's ok. Thanks.

flying.

oh you've stolen my heart. Yes You have. : )

Precious Holy Spirit, would you come fill me?

*
Many reminders the past few days of my days in LA. just said goodbye to a precious brother yesterday--missed him as much as i missed LA. He's in good hands. : ) SW, took me back to my first blog entry on the dreamcenter and i realize : ) it was just me and God the Spirit.

the Holy Spirit is the power of God. and God the Spirit will be breathed into those dry bones, my dry bones, in these days.

God's not just hearsay. =D

o prophesy.

so 7th August, Friday. we all went for Joshua Mills session to see if we could get a glimpse of a gold dust shower. i walked away with something deeper.

in the midst of free worship, he sang on the dry bones. he invited the four winds to breathe on the dry bones. he invited the cloud of glory to fill up the place. o wow what a manifestation. : ) he specifically invited the glory into Singapore. what a time this is. it felt as though revival was about to break out upon our land there and then.

"the answer is My Spirit of revelation".

i was laughing, and crying all at the same time.

Brooke Fraser - His Glory Appears

Psalm 63
1 O God, you are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you,
my body longs for you,
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water.
2 I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.

3 Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.

4 I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.

Oh God You're so good! : ) doesn't this just blow your mind away? The healing power of the resurrected Christ.

Oh wow. hahaha! restoration and open eyes for all! i love the last vid, where the girl had the presence of the Spirit come all over her!

dry bones.

today, i want to talk about the dry bone army that God's breathing into-(see July 4, 2009).

Kris vallotton spoke briefly on the dry bones: "we're not called to give a commentary on how dry the bones are, and what they used to be"
and that "we're called to call those things that are not as though they are, and have out of the dry bones, a mighty army"-The Tipping Point Part 2, July 14, 2009

Pastor today set the congregation free to boldly pray for people who have needs, calling us "the army of God".-August 2,2009

and i reviewed the tweets for today and found this:
"@MatthewBarnettGood night folks. Ready for a rather powerful and emotional service tomorrow. God is going to bring life to dry bones."-August 2,2009

tell me there's nothing insignificant about this dry bone army... :D

exciting times.

what are You up to? :)
