10th post

dear Godchasers,

sorry that i've not updated
for a while due to my busy
schedule. my apologies for
that. =]

just an update on something
significant that happened last
week.

i've been praying and asking
God why we didn't see
newcomers for the past few
weeks.

God answered by asking me
not to give up but to perservere.

He promised that we will be
expecting newcomers soon.

but pray, He said, pray until
something happens.

so i obeyed and prayed a lot
more than usual this week. i
prayed at all times about cellgroup,
our members, our friends whom
we want to invite as well as my
walk with God to be strengthened.

i knew something good was
taking place in cellgroup in the
spiritual realm.

i also knew that the devil is not
very happy because we are all
praying very hard for our friends,
ourselves and for cellgroup.

last week some of us faced spiritual
attacks, the devil made some of us
angry with each other, some of us
were intimidated by instructors and
some of us were extremely busy and
tired.

i felt extremely busy and tired, not
wanting to do anything at all, but i
rejected those thoughts immediately
in Jesus' name and prayed and moved
on to complete what i needed to do.

i'm sure most of us were attacked in
one way or another. but i'm glad we all
recognised it and pray against it instead
of reacting towards it.

pastor Daniel shared 2 weeks ago that
many times, instead of partnering with
God, we end up partnering with the devil.

why?

because we were deceived by his lies
and listened to our emotions.

and last week, pastor Daniel shared that
our emotions are unreliable and deceiving.

i know that some of us, along the way,
have made mistakes and partnered with
the devil. but it's alright, what is more
important is that we just need to recognise
where we went wrong, start to walk right
with God and move on.

we try our very best not to make the same
mistakes again. =)

we do not need to fear because we have
already won, God has already fought and
won the battle for us.

the devil only tries to lie to us and tries to
put fear in us. in fact the bible says that,
"greater is He(God) who is in me than
he(devil) who is in the world."

and the bible clearly tells us that,
"if my God is for me, who can be against
me?"

therefore, let's move onwards for Christ.
don't look back, don't dwell on the past.
=)

also wanna welcome our new brother
and sister Christ, Darren and Weiting.

*claps*

Darren renounced his previous buddhist
tailsman last week and we destroyed it
in the name of Jesus in church last saturday.

please pray for him to grow in God and
to be able to attend church regularly, that
he would not be enticed to go out with
other friends on saturdays. =p

Weiting has revealed to me another
piece of good news to me on saturday
too. she said that her parents want to
become christians and attend church.
please pray that they may be able to
come attend saturday night bilingual
this week and that their hearts would
be ready to receive Christ this saturday.
=) pray for her to grow in God too and
be able to attend church regularly every
saturday.

brothers and sisters, with such awesome
stuff happening in Godchasers, we know
that someone by the name of s.a.tan,
out there is not too happy about this and
he may try to attack some of us.

so please, i urge you all, to PUSH, pray
until something happens and don't give
up on inviting your friends. keep praying
for them. =]
