A Peace That Defies The Accuser
Daddy is gloriously working in my life, and better grades are mine. As Jesus would definately score A1s, so would I in this world! I have HOPE! A peace tht defies the accuser. The devil can try to set up his little fires, but it's in Daddy's hands. =)) A1s, mine. 'cause A1s belong to Daddy. =)

HOPE (AND FAITH)
Hope.
Define hope.
1. To wish for something with expectation of its fulfillment.
2. To have confidence; trust.
Hope, a confident expectation of good. But does the world see it that way?
"Oh no, I'm gonna fail my chinese test, I
hope I do pass."
"I
hope that idiot gets into a mishap."
"I'm praying and hoping."The world sees hope as something that's impossible to happen but by the
"grace" of luck, it would happen. I would like to touch on
"I'm praying and hoping."Yes. You need a miracle.
You've prayed. You tried to have faith. You tried to have a confident expectation of good. But you still don't see your miracle.
You know what? Stop. Stop trying.
Just stop. Believe.
How?
Do you believe Jesus died for you because he loves you?
Do you believe those scars were for you?
Do you believe His health and wealth is yours and your illness and poverty were punished at the cross?
Do you?
It's hard to believe. After a dry spell, it's hard to aqaulify your heart with faith. No, don't ask Daddy for more faith or "give me faith", because he
has already given you a measure of faith. You might ask, why is it some people find it so easy to believe God and some people don't? Why are
their faith so huge?
How do you expand that measure of faith Daddy has already given you? By believing. Wait, doesn't that brings us back to square one on how to believe? Just like that. In times of trouble, just tell Daddy, "I need you, Daddy. Help me." . Oh, and believing isn't just saying those words I've said. It's really trusting and giving all those yucky moments to Daddy. You knw what? Believing doesn't have to be, "Daddy, I give you my Chinese exams and I pray that you'll help me scored an A1, or A2. ". (Nothing wrong with that; as Jesus scores A1, so do I, AMEN!)
Believing could just be a "Help me, Daddy." and trusing he would rescue you.
Try it. Give Daddy your troubles. Go on. I promise you they're in great hands. I promise you'll feel better. Much better. :)
Anyway, back to hope. I used to think faith was more important thean hope. (Of course the Grace of Daddy is the most important, if not you can hope and hope, have faith but it'll still be useless without grace.)
I used to think like that because my hope was
"I'm praying and hoping." kind of hope. Not
a confident expectation of good, kinda hope. But thank God for Pastor Prince. My blessing. =)
Hope comes before faith.
Having a confident expectation of good. And believing that confident expectation of good will come true.
In the past, sometimes I'll mull over this problem in that period of time in life, and when
I've decided to trust, this voice would say, "God is a God of hold backs. He's probably relief that you've decided not to pursue your desire so he can
relax and not worry about giving you your miracle. " In Jesus name, I bind that voice and all those who have those thoughts in you, I bind those thoughts! It's satan. Pathetic satan. The gossiper. Now my friend, the best thing you could do when satan decided to whisper is to pray in tounges "skhsjfkhawkejrse", or give it to Daddy. Yes. "Daddy, i believe you even though there's this irritating voice in my head. As Jesus is, so am I! Abba, you're the truth! I believe you. "
God is
NOT a God of hold backs. He wants to give you your miracle. Yes. He does! He's more then estatic to give you your miracle. So why? Why isn't that miracle happening yet?
Isaiah 40: 31 states it all.
"But they that wait upon
[believe and expect]the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as EAGLES they shall run,
and not be weary;and they shall walk, and not faint. "
Believe and expect.
Believe and expect.
Believe and expect.
Believe and expect.
What are you waiting for? Believe and expect! No, this isn't a step to step guide on how to get your miracle. The miracle is yours already. Believe and expect.
AND RECEIVE. Amen? Wouldn't you want that? Believe and expect and receive. You have a storng God. You have a good God. You have a God that will never never ever ever fail you.
You have a God who loves you. He knows all your needs. And he's here to fufill them. Believe and expect dear. And receive. He loves you. Daddy loves you. Have faith. You're in good hands.
Okaaay. This wasn't what I'd intended to blog on initially but thanks for the spirit, I'm here. I'll blog on hope in another post. =)) Praise Daddy. He's really good eh? I love you Daddy. You're my everything. =)) *sighs.* Jesus makes my heart melt. =)

Updates updates. (:
well, i guess the past few post had been dreamy. (yes they're are, but they're ture, cause my Jesus loves me! ) Anyway, if you've been wondering what's going on in my life (or maybe not) here are some updates. (some like my church announcements...)
Yea, I've been dependant on the Lord, not saying that I haven't been depending on Him ever since I've gotten saved, but it's really of letting go and letting God. I don't want to worry about things that only he can solve and restore. More of You, less of me. I guess this blog has really become something which i use to share the word of God and yes, i guess many do see it as a drop in my humour. I guess my humour has been always there, but I don't really yiu know, use it now cause it seems so... I mean, making fun of something or someone. funny? yea but my laughter's so dry. i was praying in tounges and realised how sweet my song of praise to Daddy was. So
aqualifying, so fearless, so bold. Praise Daddy. It wouldn't have been without him. you know what, scrape the updates part. I'm gonna blog with the flow of the spirit(:
hmm, i think I'll blog about hope. In a new post though. it's getting kinda messy here. (:

Beautiful Daddy.
Beautiful pictures with beautiful truths.
Was on the MRT yesterday evening when a father and his two children- a young girl about 5 and her older brother about 8 sat in the seats opposite me. I didn't realy notice them until the girl and her brother began quarreling. The squabble was about spelling this certain word. Being elder, the boy knew and tried correcting his sister of the wrong spelling but the little girl obstinately insisted she was right. (Which somehow reminded me of, me.) The Dad then intervened, telling her that her brother was right. But the girl still refused to believe. Then rushing to her backpack, she pulled out this brochure (that I guess has the spelling of that word.) and checked it, thinking she was surely right. All this while, I noticed, a grin appeared on her father’s face as he watched her. The grin became a large smile when the girl slowly lowered the brochure realizing she was wrong. Embarrassment surfaces, she turns red. But instead f laughing at her and saying, “I told you so!”, her Dad just smiles and hugs her.
Doesn’t this sound familiar? Our heavenly Daddy would be the father, in this scenario, and the Holy Spirit, the brother, and us? The obstinate little girl. Time and time, we get so flustered up over things in life, and the holy spirit which resides in all those who’re saved, assures and re assures us, that’s everything’s gonna be ok. But still? We still get flustered up. But this is where our beautiful Daddy steps in. He tells us patiently that nothing’s wrong. But we still insist something is. But that’s where we’re wrong. The creator of the universe wrote your life story. How could he not know? What’s more, he doesn’t condemn us, but a smile and a hug, he loves us. Isn’t Daddy just beautiful? Just live life knowing everything is in God’s hands. =)

Bye. =))
Bye Bye Yuli. =)) thanks for everything. Today was ok, went for VJC to support 2/9 for heats. =)) My maid of three years had gone home today. All was fine, until assembly where the play, "Charlotte's Web", where Wilbur in the end announced he would never see Charlotte again. I jokingly acted out that part, when i told her how it reminded me of how I would never see Yuli again. That's it. I burst out in tears. Twice. Aww... Precious. Daddy, bless her. You love me. =))
