Purposefully Being Private

Restricted movement declared for two weeks. 

God speaks to us in all circumstances

God Decides

The intensity of prayer increases even as the General Elections draw near. This promises to be the closest yet. 

Many words are spoken. Many accusations are made. Many issues are raised.

Emotions are stoked. Dangerous to react.

Even the lay person who would normally not have an opinion, is being more vocal now.

So many emails, whatsapp messages, internet postings, twits.... One is almost inundated.

At the end of the day, as someone said, prophetically I believe, "We vote, but God decides".

Amen!

My Heart Hurts

Tonight once again we prayed.

A topic we hadn't touched on for a while.

So much for my resolve not to cry or make a scene. Ha!

September 16th

It was Malaysia Day - the day the Malaysia was officially formed. Culminating three days of intensive prayer with national Christian leaders, following forty days of prayer and fasting held nationwide, we celebrated.

Youths paraded, danced, played flags and pompoms... did prophetic acts... and much more.
The crowd was not overwhelming, but good nonetheless.
I took part playing the shofar. My daughter was playing the flags. More in The Hinge.

Feedback

Wondering how it went last night?

I have always said that when one preaches, or does something upfront and visible for God, one must always try to keep the perspective of "the Audience of One".

So I tried to last night. Before I left, one of the ladies told me that she had seen one of the members respond in a very receptive way. "Who knows", I thought to myself. "Leave it to the Holy Spirit."

Apart from that, when it was all over, I felt almost empty. As if something was "out of sync".

Later I found out that someone I had been praying for had taken a critical turn for the worse. The battle was on for his life even as I journeyed home. Perhaps that was what I picked up? I didn't sense anything from the Lord. But I felt a sore throat coming on and decided to have an early night after supper with Hubby.

I woke up this morning feeling pretty rotten - sore throat got worse. Slept in a bit more and ate little for breakfast. Had pure lemon juice instead, before going to work.

At work, I had episodes of feeling cold - sure sign of a fever onset. Pressed on and felt better when I had a soupy meal for lunch. Then had an afternoon nap. Felt worse when I got up. Fever still present. Prayed.

Dinner was with the family.

Then I had feedback. The person we had been praying for has taken a turn for the better. Praise God!

Then my children shared. Their friends had spoked and shared with one another about the message last night. Some asked questions. Some used the phrase I felt the Lord had given - Metamorphosis - amongst themselves. One particularly passed a message to me via my Arrow #3. They had felt ministered to and challenged.

Praise God.

So even though I didn't hear immediate from my Audience of One, (He was more intent on getting me to pray, than to commend me or anything else!) I know that in the end, His message got through.

So folks, thanks again for praying. I really appreciated it. Now I need to sleep. It's almost midnight and I need to rest to let the Lord deal with the fever and sore throat. Bless you!

I Don't Understand

I have to post this. I don't understand how come Indonesia, the largest such nation in the world has no problems and yet this land does.

So many opinions are being expressed over who is allowed to use the word.

With so many more weighty issues at hand, this has dragged on for so long.... I just don't understand why it should.

Repealable or Revokable

“An order made by a minister can be repealed or revoked,” said Chief counsel to the Catholic Church, Porres Royan, in response to the recent ruling about being allowed to use the word, "Allah".

Does the issue continue? We wait with bated breath....

Thirty Pieces of Silver

Thirty (30) pieces of silver. Judas betrayed Jesus for that much.

I wonder what the three (3) politicians got for their betrayal.

For more about the shenanigans and a brief history of what I am referring to, make a visit to Metamor4sis.

I am lost for words and would rather pray.

Esther's Ripples

In the midst of the sorrowing over Esther, I told her parents that the impact of her short life would be like ripples.
However, whilst ripples tend to fade as they leave the centre, these ones wouldn't I told them.

And so it has been.

Her funeral / memorial service has touched many lives.

The gift of her kidneys have already touched two lives.

People have sms-ed and phoned her parents.

And now apparently, a newspaper wants to feature them.

Do you hear the phonecalls? Do you see the emails? Can you visualize the letters? Many will seek them. Many who have undergone similar heartache and loss.

And Esther's little life will have touched many, many, many others.

Do continue to pray for her parents. Her mother has gone back to work. Her father remains at home to spend more time with her older sibling who is having to deal with his loss too.

Please Pray

A friend's under 3 year old daughter is ill in hospital. She had brain surgery earlier today. Please pray for her recovery.

More details later.

Thank you.
