Food for thoughts.

I guess i don’t need it to satisfy my hunger.
Do not limit God by your thoughts. No one can outsmart him or think the way he thinks. I guess, the foolishness of God is man’s wisdom.
Prayer that works
July 29, 2008
-Prayer is powerful. God is both approachable and able
-Remember God’s promises. Pray according to the promises of God. Faithfilled prayers. Faith comes when we know God’s will. Rom 8:28!!
*Get our hearts right before we lay our request to God.
- Lay our request to God. Pray specifically and clearly. Pray with expectation! When man pray, God works. when God works, it really work. Pray! when u do not know what to do, or even what to pray. Greatest joy in prayer => we know God more.
Purpose

I guess this is what i’ve been searching for my whole life. I guess i’ve found it. But i want a finer picture.

Been a long while since i penned down my thoughts (i can’t do that in my GP essay or i’ll get screwed). Well guess life have been tough. Things are rather difficult for many people and well, me too. Guess its a whole new level, a whole new challenge.
Was watching red cliff yesterday. Seeing how the generals were persevering really encourage me to press on hard. Well, just 3 more month, i tell myself. Good and bad thing though. I really need to press on hard and fight this battle with whatever I have. Sometimes, more often then not, I would give in to the tiredness and weariness. Guess thats the challenging part.
I really hate to stress myself. Giving myself too much work. Haha, but i guess its time i really chiong. Not going to be easy. Teachers are putting pressure! And this time, its like all of them! Scoring really badly. The saddest thing is that i have been a bad testimony. Oh well.
And i realized its quite hard to find good friends who understands me. Or even accept how i think. Too many conformist! People need to start to think more, not just accept. Oh well.
But whatever i’m facing through now, just going to (try) to give my very best. Fight a good fight, keeping my faith. Running with perseverance. Partnership with God. Lets see how much God can bring me through. Actually thinking of it, God really helped me to grow much in character especially in JC. Molding my thinking and my ideas. Besides, i think i couldn’t have come that far if i never knew God. Well, you see, i’m a very purpose driven person. Probably, i would not have even studied hard during my O lvl days.
Now i’m damn tired. And well i guess I would have given up. But lets just say that the only reason why i am still studying now is for God. Going into a good course in uni would give me an advantage, spreading God’s love. I guess thats the only reason justifiable for me to work. Oh, and i think people who just study, for the sake of studying. Living life, for the sake of living. They are damn loser.
Oh well, just this 3 months. Its going to be tough but:
James 1:2-4 (NIV)
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Men can survive:
- 40 days without food
- 3 to 4 days without water
- 2 min without oxygen
but, I can’t survive a single moment without God.

Psalm 84 (NIV)
For the director of music. According to gittith. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. [a]
1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
O LORD Almighty!
2 My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.
Selah
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools. [b]
7 They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.
8 Hear my prayer, O LORD God Almighty;
listen to me, O God of Jacob.
Selah
9 Look upon our shield, [c] O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.
10 Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.
12 O LORD Almighty,
blessed is the man who trusts in you.
John 4-5
July 16, 2008
What I learnt:
John 4:13-14 – as the Holy Spirit fill our life, we will never be in need.
*John 4:34-35 – Our food, is to do the will of God, and to complete the task he has assigned us. The time for harvest is now!
How I apply:
- Rely on the Holy Spirit for energy, encouragement, everything
- Hungry? Complete God’s task
Prayer point:
- Lord, I pray that you will pour your spirit into my life, and will help me learn and do the desires of your heart.
All i need is You Lord, its You Lord..

Psalm 42:9-11 (NIV)
9 I say to God my Rock,
“Why have you forgotten me?
Why must I go about mourning,
oppressed by the enemy?”
10 My bones suffer mortal agony
as my foes taunt me,
saying to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
11 Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
Dreams

Marcel Proust: Quotes: Dreams
If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time.
How much you pay for your dreams,is how much they are worth.. Big dreams, i guess, are more expensive…
