November 02 Mansion of Questionmarks?????????????????x Gazillion!!!!
This is definitely one of the most all time fav picture of mine!!! It depicts Mt Fuji during sunset!!!! Like super awesome!!! =D I think when i am in heaven, my house would be made of Question marks!!! Know y?? cox i've always been thowing God lotsa question!!!Like today...while doing my connect journal i duno y, i wrote.."Dear God, What do u think of me??" Then i started to be very amaze at that question!!! so i started thinking of how would God judge me??!! Seriously, have it come across your mind like how would God view u as?? Like so many flaws, your emotional downturn, your darkest moments...He noes it all!!! So how would God view you as?? And the thing is that, how do u wan God to view u as?? :) Think u can hide frm God??take this question and face the FACT!!! for the truth will set u FREE!!! :) October 29 Alongside~Today i would like to relate an encounter i had while thinking in the toilet!! The heavy thoughts i have, occurs alongside water!! Be it pool side, bathing, jacuzzi, sunset at the yatch club,sentosa etc. etc. these are places where i do deeeep thinking~
So it happen in the toilet today when i accidently pressed the think button!! "What if God don't turn things around??" we often pray prayers like how we wana ask God to turn the situation around for us..to make things go so smoothly for us! but then again, i realize, it doesn't always turn out the way we wanted! So,was just thinking thru the tyms where God did not turn things around for me!! and i realize...When God did not turn things around for u, it just mean that He wants to go thru it with you!!! =D
DO u noe who is a dolphin's best friend??? It is Tuna!!! Tuna's will always swim alongside with the dolphin! and thus whenever the evil fishermen wants to catch tuna, guess what?? they'd catch the dolphins as well!! n thus, poor dolphines might not be able to survive being above the water for so long by the time the fishermen thow it back to the sea:( That's y i love Dolphins!
 Can u spot the Tunas?:) October 28 i thought...Something has been weighing in the heart of Regh since Monday~~ coxxx...i gota get a chest X-ray done..initially i thought it was just an X-ray untill the doctor said..the result might be sensitive!! -my heart sank!! though i tried to put on a strong front, the truth is deep dwn, i noe, i'm weak! Many "what if's.." surface thru my mind!!
What if....
I CAN'T SWIM anymore??!!
I CAN'T play badminton??!!
I CAN'T sing??
There's reali sth in my lungs??!!! :'(
Ytd, the thought of taking the X-Ray result send shivers dwn my spine! It was a good 3hrs of torture!! in my bag...due to an act of faith, i slip my swimming suit in!! Exchanging several pacts with God!! in the hope that everything is gona be fine n ok!! n that i'd be able to swim as per normal!! and...yea!!! the results is out!! and guess what i saw?? 1) Heart Size Normal 2) Lungs are cleared!!! PHEWWWW~~~I immediately change into my swim suit and...SPLASH!!! For once i swam as freely as a fish!!! ya...i mean it mann!!! whoa! i felt like a dying fish until i jump back into the pool!!! =D wheee!! =D
It's all Bcox God turn things around:) October 26 Regh's Braille:)-if u get my drift~The Veiny Of It
Beats it loud
Faster as the hands speaks 'tick tok'
The dye of reds
i see...
Flowin as some have rosy n pale
The Wormy Figure
says stop!!
Figurines takes moulding it says
The tangled wires
Showed forms of Hope
Filling up its tangability
The curtain of Disbelieves
takes its place
Falling back to reality
The kind of Intense
No one fathoms
For the one whom Diciphers
 For the one whom Diciphers!!!! :)
October 25 TO: The WorldHELLO WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Regh EXTREMELY LOVES HER LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOTS!!!!!!!!! :) Without a DOUBT! How nice would it be if mankind lives without a DOUBT!!! Wouldn't it be nice??Like when u invite your friends to Church, the next answer u get is an immediate YES!! How nice would it be if ppl are not suspicious of one another!! But then again, If there is no Doubt, it just means that there is no need for..FAITH!?So why Doubt when u have Faith? our God is simply the most complementing God!!:) haahs..i just realize!! opps! Faith is a spiritual Muscle tt needs to be exercised in order to prevent atrophy, which makes our entire spiritual being weak. Faith is first a decision, then an exercise in obedience, then a gift from God as it is multiplied.The bible says that a person who doubts is unstable in every way, can't please God. If that is true, then Spiritual well-being is not possible without Faith right?!! So how do we start building that faith after we have receive God??!! I think the very first step is to be totally open and honest abt any doubt in God's ability and the faithfulness to provide for our every need. You know, i sometyms really hope to be a silly kid then to be a grown up! Cox, don't u think that kids are so pure and wiithout Doubt!! people whom can remember your everysingle promise and when u break any of it!! u are in for trouble?!! it's precisely why kids are just so simple that makes me really wna be kid! It's so so admirable like how they find the joy to have ppl toss them up in the air and yet still noe that their daddy would catch them and not allow them to falll!!!! ?? Don't u think kids are soso so admirable??!!! so small..yet so BIG!!! "Faith is unutterable trust in God, trust which never dream He would not stand by us."-Oswald Chambers October 22 Advertise yourself!!!Regina for like the past 1year, today, finally picked up a magazine and started browsing thru!! and as usual, what relationships stuffs etc etc. and then sth caught my attention..hehs...it's a moisturizing cream ad!! mann!! It has nice colours, words etc. very captivating words and all, but one thing that would really give me the assurance to buy the cream is to have a look at the model using the cream and how it works on her!!
How often do u see some weight lost ads and go gaga over ladies which lost like hundreds of pounds and then uses a jeans to prove that the treatment works?? Compared to just telling u how good the programmes are, i think i would be more convinced seeing an actual testimony!! So how do u actually advertise God?? it is not by how much saliva u use to persuade your frens to come to know God,though that's just part of it..but most importantly, it is what your friends see in you that makes them want to know God!! So what kind of a testimony are you to give people the assurance of coming to know God??
Whoa, this sets me thinking for the past 10mins? am i credible enough as a Christian to invite my friends and family to church?? if i advertise myself, would people be convince?? =D
A Follower of God from Yhope!! One whom loves God!! So Do u wana come and experience God??:)
LOL...i can't believe i'm doing this..HAhazx..okay, i would like to end off by saying!!!!!!!!! i.......i......i.......LOVE.................PERRY NOBLE!!!!! Gosh...i think he is so so so so so so so so so C U T E!!!!! mannnnn....okay, i think if i advertise Perry Noble, ppl will flop to know God la!!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... Okay...i can't stop saying this....I LOVE MY LIFE!!!!! LIKE MORE AND MORE AND MORE AS THE SECONDS PASSES BY!!!!!!!!!!! AND MORE AND MORE AND MORE AS THE SUNSETS!!! HEHS!!! tata* =D October 21 BLISSSSSED!!! ahhhhhhhh.....PHEW~~let down half my burden!!! Recently was a sudden gush of consecutive challenges!!! Like one aft another!! hehs!! Thk God for like so many thousands of people in my life!!! Especially Dewen!! like i just left a huge one to him and i learnt something thru that! Dewen is super super ultra ZAI!! i think my DL rocks big big time!! Haas, he enlighten me alot so God, thank you for dewen...
Y blissed??!! cox i think God has never ever leave me!! though after challenges have been met.. a new set of challenges never cease to come in my way-,-''' eventhough i felt like -,-''''' but then in me it is just pure calmness and peace!! cox...i know that eventhough i'm getting my rifles and harversack on.. i know God has never once leave me!! and that is why i sense that familiar bliss in me!! heeeezx..an unexplainable feeling that sets my heart for more joy and victories to come!! wheee!!
Wana really affirm one person!! my Zai cl! Quannie! i just realize i seldom affirm him, but well, today i saw how much he stood up by the presence and the help of God to start the ball rolling for harvesters prayermeet!! Cool!! and it was yet another HIT HOME prayermeet!!! =D i think we sent lotsa smiles up to heaven today!! i saw that!! =D yea!!
It sets me thinking why do the sun sets in the west?? so is the west so so sorrowful?? the answer is no!!
Cox, who would wake up so early to watch sunrise when sunsets at the time where we can really take a breather and enjoy every inch of it!!
 I need the sunset!!!
But if u r a regular sun watcher..you'd noe that the sun dun usually set/rise the way u wan it to be!!
October 19 Shepherd, i Dun need you!!!Have you ever said this sentence to your shepherd before?? No? then how about, Have you ever thought of it before??
Hehs...was just randomly thinking of a few reasons that leads to a barrier between shepherd and sheeps!! HEHEHE i think there are just some people that seem to have a more "Spiritual" persona that seem to have a high nose on every little thing that goes around them! This WAS the past Regina!!! Heeee..GUILTY!!!!** when i first step into hope, my very first shepherd cried to her shepherd and asks for a change in sheep!! I OWN IT ALL!!! hehs!! nah...it isn't something to be proud of though!!!
I've seen and felt some of these people around!! and that truly BOTHERS ME!!! yes, it does!! Quoting from pastor Jeff!! Eventhough certain things comes from a "holy" person, that doesn't mean it comes from God!! AMEN!!! The very moment that you think that there isn't a need for your shepherd and that thru books and internet stuffs it can fill u upp..thennn...BIG HUGE BOOOBOOO to YOU!!! Because in the first place ask yourself this if you have Pride in thinking/doing so??!! Because over the past proud moments and experiences i have...at the same time, i have a super cool n unforgettable moments with God too!! something which i really hated doing with God!! and that is whenever i open up my Bible and got a huge tight slap from God!! eeeeeee...who would like such a feeling??!!!!! i felt like 1000 fishes slap past my face luhh!!!:'( :'( hehe, but more to that..it always left a huge scar on my face and i make sure that thru the grace of God i won't fall back on it!! the below mention will be stuffs that God use 1000 fishes to slap me awake last 5years on a few fateful nights!!!
The thing is that..if u ever think that you can Grow without your Shepherd but with God alone..then you can FORGET ABOUT GROWING!!! Because in the first place, who gave this shepherd to you...GOD!!! So r u trying to imply that God made a mistake?? :) that's ONE!! okay, now the 2nd one!!! Though God would be happy to see a discipline Child of His faithfully doing evax, outreach, 6 hrs of quiet time, 49 days of fast, 1000 books read, etc etc. but God sees how obedient you are and not how much you've done!! ehhh..GOD u Know!!! His one strand of hair is enough to blow u away!! so do u think u can hide from Him?? Mann..i coldn't imagine one day if God were to keep a Thoughts Journal!! mann!! i'm gona Laugh at all my stupid thoughts mann!!(okay, i lyk imagining stupid stuffs with my senior partner in me!!in case u r guessing who issit, it's the holy spirit) thn i'd laugh for eternity!! whoa!! not bad!! so what would your thoughts journal be like?? i always give this analogy...ahhh..i'm cliche u noe!!! If your shepherd has a plan A and u noe it won't turn out to be as good as your plan B and u keep insisting on your plan, your plan will flop?? but if it is your shepherd's plan, it works?!! why?? Cox that is God's anointed one!!! so what's the deal?? God don't see the smart/intelligent!! He gives the Smart/intelligent!! He don't look at how good ur plan is, he looks at how much your heart obey's Him!!!!!! So if u think that u can just have God alone, then u r WRONG!!! u need His people too!!!
I wan to thank my shepherd for being my shepherd!!!! =D wakakakakazx..  October 17 PLEASE Breathe!!!Just had an interesting conver with my sheep on Msn!!
The question to all of u Christians out there is that have you ever face spiritual dryness? YES YES YES YES YES!! okay i heard it oredi!!! =D
HAhazx..Cmon me myself face it too!! but well, come to think of it, whenever spiritual dryness sets it, u noe very well that you really need God!!! But the interesting fact is that you don't seek Him!! Why is this so?? few factors that i could think of!! 1)Guilt that u've done sth to hurt God? 2) Unworthy! thinks that God is too perfect, n u feel really lousy wheneva u come to God? 3)Lazy? 4) pointless to seek God so submit to fate instead? 5) lacking in Faith 6)pride and more and more(feel free to add in more for me if u tink there's more to add!!) hahazx... or izit all of the above!!?? lol...
i've learnt sth over the years!!! and that is, to be STUBBORN!!!! REAL STUBBORN!!! to??? SATAN!!! the above 5 mention are all the devils scheme to make us small and dry..so with this in mind, no matter how dry am i or whatsoever, i'd always say NO to satan, and then RUN to God!!!! yes!! u nda run away frm satan to run to God!! u can't keep both!!! so this brings me to another question!! u wan the world or u wan God?? u can't have both!!hahazx
Sometimes, i wish...i really wish that as a leader, i can help my people to do Quietime!!! lol!! silly of me to think it this way!! but true!!! if i can, i would!!! the minimal and maximum i can do for all of them is to pray for them but not to help them pray and read the bible!! so if today u still expect your shepherd to ask u if u've done your QT..u r in for a hot pot of oil!! hahazx..no, u dun allow ur shepherd to ask u this, but u tell your shepherd by yourself!! be it u do or u didn't do...TELLL!!! i'm very sure your leader won't judge you for that!! cox if they do, then God will judge them!! lol..
What is the Fundamentals of being a Christian??it's God!!! so, if you are living without God..then y do u still call yourself a Christian?? my sheep said something which is so true!!!! sometimes "GOD" seems to be just a word!!! and it's seems so hard to cling on to God because all people does is to know God as a word!!-the wise words are frm SIHUI!! So Christians!!! PLEASE!!!!! doing quiet-time is the basic!!! it's not even a choice!!! and you don't have a choice for that..u just MUST!! Must pray, MUST seek God!!! Seeking God is a MUST!!!! Don't make it a choice!!
i often hear people saying that seeking God is like Drinking water!! but NO!!! cox, u can leave without water!! But please do this exercise with me!!! 1)take a deep breadth 2) hole it there! pinch your nose if needed....dun let go!! the next moment you realize is that you'll..DIE!!! and that's stupid right?? you'll start taking another breath by now!!! so whats the point?? Many times! we are like that! we chiong big time for God and ya we do so well and choke up our lives with God, and we hold it there,thinkin that its ok not to seek God,then when all looks well on the outside, u noe you can't hold it any longer and you noe, this feel of God is gona fade and die off because u treat it like a season to seek God and a season to not seek God!! Yet, sometimes, we noe we need God, but..we didn't and we ...DIE!! so ya, u can't teat God like u r drinking water!! you gota treat God like OXYGEN!!! Everysingle second!! you breathe!! everywhere you go...every air you suck into your lungs!! It is GOD!!
please bear in mind that u can't allow others to..BREATHE FOR YOU!!!
October 12 ("V")KONNICHIWA!!!!!
Mannn!!!! guess what?? the internet in the hotel cost me 100\ for 10mins!!! which means its $1.60 for 10mins!!!! it]s super ex!! n i gota finish this entry in 4mins!!!!!!!! hahahazx
okok, first things first!!!! westD,pls jiayou okay!!! be great support to ur zai cls!!! n n,,,RELLAY sorry!! gomenasai!!!!!! cox, the things here r really EX!!! n so, requests are all change to sweets or tidbits?? can?? sorie arh!! anw, fortunate yida, cos coke is everywhere!!!! hahazx..and crystal, i saw alota hmmm....the thingy that u always wanted to catch in PS?? but too ex, so only got a hrubberband!!
anw....how7s ya spiritual life??? mine??? SUPER GREAT!!! cox my gp meets are 80% CHRISTIANS!!!! great!!!! n i7m seriously blessed!!! whoa!!!!! so u guys jiayou yepzx!!! okay, last 1 min!! wad am i suppose to say other than SARANGHAEYO!!! WESTD!!! October 08 YOU are not a Hermit!!![be sure to perservere to e END!] Breaking free frm the world does not equal to leading the life of a HERMIT!! Though Satan is the ruler of this so called "world" we must noe that, he is limited!!! He cannot be everywhere, he is not able to do everything, he is not all-powerful,and he is not all-knowing. God on the other hand is all of those things. WHAT SATAN AND GOD DO HAVE IN COMMON IS THAT THEY BOTH HAVE A PLAN FOR OUR LIVES,WHICH CAN ONLY BE MADE OPERATIVE IF WE SUBMIT TO IT. We howeva dun have to fear satan bcos the bible says that "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world"[1jn4:4] The only success satan can have comes thru DECEPTION!!-gettin us to believe he doesn't exist or that he is not our enemy, or instilling in us lies about ourselves,our situations, others, him, or God. Once we believe his lies,he controls our lives! RUN A CHECK FOR HIGH PLACES!!! Accepting the world's standars for our lives numbs our sensitivity to God's will. It separates us from what He has called us to be. and..we...STUPIDLY reserve a place in our hearts to be the exception. and thus, we gota run a check on ourslvs FREQUENTLY!!!!!! Breaking from the world does not make u live a life of a hermit!! hiding in ur puny shell everyday!! NONONO!!! but rather, RUN A FREQUENT CHECK ON YOUR HEART!!!! make sure that u r not too attatched to the world: ask yourself these: 1) Do i judge myself by the world's standard for beauty, acceptability and success? 2) Do i depend on worldly magazines and books to tell me how i live?? or perhaps..FACEBOOK QUIZES?? 3) leaders!! esp. am i willing to ignore certain convictions i have inorder to find favour with people? 4) Am i willing to compromise what i know of God's ways in order to gian what i want? *if you said YES to any of those qns, u r cutting off the possibilities God has for your life! MY FAVOURITE VERSE!! [ROM12:2] Believe it all not, i know how hard it is to try to lay down everything in your life at once! Many of our high places erected for our own survival and we may find that we still need them...BUT THE MORE WE ALLOW GOD TO REIGN IN US, THE EASIER IT WILL BE TO LET GO OF ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING...please bear in mind that these takes time!!! October 06 DADDY know's best!!!Well, if i have a crush!!! i'd say that it'll be my father!!! HAhazx..Handsome, capable, EXTREMELY WISE!!, gentle, patient, caring and MOST IMPORTANTLY..UNDERSTANDS ME!!!!!! Regh slept at 11pm ytd!! mann!!! can u imagine i slept at 11pm!!?? HAhazx, i think my Dad got a shock seeing my lights off!! so daddy came it at ard 1am? then he smell something weird, medicated oillll, then he see a huge thing curling up on bed(tat's me!)!! haahs...he woke me up, and said "Migrane ar? or gastric?" Hahazx..i shook my head to all his questions to make him not worried and at the same time, i'm dead tired to respond..then he probe further...the classic question.."Have you eaten?" lols!! i finally NODDED my head!! Wheee...and then went back to ZZZ..meanwhile, still half concious and notice daddy covering me up, picking up my pillow and bears that i kick to the floor, placing them in order lyk how i usually does...knowing which is my fav bear to keep me tugging in my sleep with it's smell!!! then, the 2 final touch, my cooling pad and my eye pillowwww!!! =D Daddy noes BEST!!! :) thk u shooo much!! What your blog says about you... If there are good blogs why go to bad blogs??? :) If your blog is full of vulgarities, emo, sad sad stuffs..then isn't it demoralizing?? And the interesting thing about blogs is that whatever it writes..IT SPEAKS ABOUT YOU!!!!!!! Though blogs kinda yaya, bring out your emotions, and that you are suppose to type your emotions on it..then don't you think that you need to search your heart and throw in tons And TONS of questions to ask yourself if you truly want to make your feelings known to yourself or to attract the attention of others!!?? So if u truly wana make your feelings known to yourself, then shouldn't you keep a private journal?? instead of making it go PUBLIC?? it dawn upon me that blogs are suppose to be inspiring!! uplifting!!! i'm against emo blogs!! and ya..i do have a MOTIVE for it!! and that MOTIVE is to lift people up and not bring ppl down!!!! esp. CHRISTIANS!!!!!! use your BLOG to show the way to HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!! i can't emphasize this enough!!!! it goes the same for MSN NICK as well!!! u noe what?? i reali reali dun like to read msn nicks or facebook wall post or blogs describing how sick he/she is!!! cox this so totally makes me sick as well!! bcox..the thing is that...by doing so...i'm 100% sure that the blogs, msn and facebook won't heal you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YES!!! it WON'T!!!! only God can heal you!!! so what's your MOTIVE for typing it down??? then again, are you taking pride in being ill????!!!!!! *guilty??* THERE;S MORE TO COME!!!!!!!!!! INSTEAD OF TYPING HOW SICK YOU ARE OR HOW SAD YOU ARE, WHY NOT TYPE HOW GOD HEAL YOUR SICKNESS AND HOW GOD NURSE YOUR EMOTIONS!!??? i'm shure this is so much much much more better right??? Do you noe, i have this friend that is so curious that finally one day he msn me and ask me," How do u make your life so joyful and fun?cox i've always see you leading such a happy life.your blogs and msn nick says it all!!" he is not a Christian!!! and mann!!! it sets me thinking till today and deriving to this entry!!! =D So what does your blog says about you?? :) October 04 WITH........GOD??Relating to u from an awesome quiet-time and journaling i had with God today:
Ever felt like the whole world is turning against you and everything dun seem right especially your inner-self,struggling with fears and other silly stuffs that make u more miserable?? More than that...Problems came knocking at your doors??!! some problems don't even pay a courtesy by knocking on the door, it just came barging into anything or everything!!! How about this, imagine running on a 400m track with hurdles after hurdles!!?? and the thing is when you accidentally topple one of the hurdle, u r disqualified!!?
well, here it is!!! Have you ever wonder why was David's success as a leader allow all other nations to recognise the greatness of God? [1chr14:8-17] that's because his RELIANCE on God resulted in not one victory, but CONSISTENT VICTORIES!!!! Well, it sound so fundamental that ya..lyk duh~ u nda rely on God...but how many of us actually did that in times of "misery" and "sufferings"?? what about, have you ever rely on God in your thoughts??!! If, yes..what did God say? So the question is,How have you been overcoming the hurdles in your life recently.Did you do it With God or Without Him?:)
ADVERSITIES DO NOT MAKE A MAN FAIL.THEY SHOW WHAT SORT OF MAN HE IS.-Thomas A kempis

Anw, here's sth that caught my attention on a sticker of a person's car, it says: NO JESUS NO PEACE..KNOW JESUS KNOW PEACE=) September 27 DISCERNMENT??? W O W!!!!!!!! Big Word?? or Powerful word?? HAhazx..well, to me, its jus a word-,-''' Today, i would just like to clarify a few things about the misconception about the GIFT OF DISCERNMENT!!! 1)There is no such thing as, that gift is more powerful than that gift!!!! NONSENSE!!!!! all the gifts are the same!!! Cmon!!! GET A LIFE!!!!!! *huffff puff* -Be thankful that you can know your gifts, because....THAT IS FROM GOD!!!! and God actually bothers to give u a gift to serve Him btr!! so use that gift to serve Him better!!!!!!=D 2)It's not SCARY!!!! and none is suppose to fear the person who has the gift of Discernment, because...THEY SHOULD FEAR GOD INSTEAD!!!!! 3)Ppl who posses the gift of discernment DON'T exactly know every single thing!!!! so don't take it for granted by saying "er..u want to know ar? use your discernment la!" Because, Discernment is NOT suppose to be use in this way!!!! 4)It's not about whether you want to discern or i want to discern, but whether God wants anot??!! so, sadly, u can't control DISCERNMENT!!! God holds the key to it!!! So what is actually Discernment?? In Scripture, the ability to discern is a sign of spiritual maturity. This is why Paul prays for the Philippian Christians “that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God” (Phil 1:9-11). Growth in love must always be accompanied by knowledge and discernment.Love without knowledge and discernment is naive; knowledge without love is mere shrewdness. A truly mature Christian must have both. Just because one begins with an action that is clearly prompted by the Spirit does not mean that subsequent actions are equally the work of the Spirit. We must beware of the danger of hanging on to the "afterglow" of a spiritual experience. -Ignatius Loyola Some research done on DISCERNMENT~r u ready? here it goes! =D -Dr Simon Chan EG.Having a humble attitude alone does not prove conclusively that what a person is doing is of God. (After all, one could put up a good act without being one. Or, a humble person could be credulous at the same time.) But if we discern a lack of humility, we could safely conclude that the person is not acting out of divine prompting. Secondly, these signs when taken separately cannot show decisively if a work is of God, but taken together they help us to check the validity of religious experience. Together they create a “truth profile” against which individual experiences could be tested. Some of these signs are: A. Truth. A person moved by God's Spirit will comport with God's revealed truth in his or her word and deed. The Spirit of God is the Spirit of truth who leads us to Christ the Truth ( John 16:13). B. Gravity. God does not generally cause things that are useless, frivolous, and futile to happen. There is always a seriousness in the divine work. Thus we have good reason to be suspicious when claims are made that God showers people with gold dust and angel’s feathers. C. Obedience. A spirit of submission and obedience is an indicator (though not an absolute one) that the source is divine. Pride and rebellion is contrary to the spirit of Christ. D. Peace. There is an assured peace when God's Spirit moves upon the soul (Phi. 4:9). Corporately, peace among the people of God is a good (though not certain) indicator of divine approval, whereas an agitated and cantankerous spirit in the community is an indication that people are not acting according to God’s will. E. Christ-centredness. If there is no sustained desire to follow Christ and imitate his example, we have good reason to doubt the validity of the experience. September 25 There's power in ur speechHow much is Speaking worth to you??? i've been reflecting the whole night on it..."talking is the cheapest thing on earth"-familiar? well, for my case, its not!!! SPEECH IS THE MOST COSTLY THING THAT A PERSON CAN EVER PAY FOR ITS WRONG!
I'm not really toking abt speech that hurts others, this is too fundamental! In this case, it's a matter of FAITH in speech! i think sometimes unknowingly our speech proves how much faith we have! esp. when negative circumstances may smack right into your face, what is the first word/sentence that comes to your mouth?? "SHUCKS!" "DIE LA" i was reminded of a book that i've read quite awhile ago, it says that when you've already acknowledge your problem, then you are already placing your Faith in the problem itself and thus u r believing in the problem!!!!!!
Leaders: what do you usually discuss when u come together?? HOW BAD YOUR GROUP IS???=) well.....it's not that you don't see the bad sides of the group, but what about individual potential in all the flaws??:)
Members:What are you speaking of your church/group??
