MAN ! I AM EMPOWERED. HALLELUJAH !
headed for first service today, if you know what i mean. man, pastor lian has such awesome revelations that just blew me away.
bought the new cd from hillsong ! heh cant wait to familiarise myself with the songs. heh maybe tab out some of them, once mother term tests are over. RAHH. term tests are annoying. BUT there's gonna be brian houston next week ! and not forgetting a large group going next week as well.
man, jesus is attractive. when the being of christ is preached, it just attracts people. and when he exists in people, he makes them attractive. awesome. there's a reason why the message touches more lives than the law. because the law never gives life. it only kills. and in his time, and if god willing, i proclaim, i will preach in youth ! :D i've got my sermon ready. just ready to pop it and touch lives. amen. god is good.
ahhhh ! god loves, loves me so damn much. today was so refilling. freak ! tmr will be the first of june. man 6 months pass really fast. another 6 months, and by his grace, i can transit. ((:
lol was just poking around on esword. was at joshua, and the name joshua means yehôsahû‛, which means jehovah-saved, or jesus saved.
i am a joshua ! and if i am jesus-saved, then i'll be saved from anything. any circumstances, any sin, any shame, any condemnation, any trial, any hardship, any exam, any test, any criticism. anything.
i will enter yerûshâlayim, city of peace. amen. i can face this week, effortlessly.
airfield systems tmr. in his grace, i will operate.
on his wings, spread out, pierced for my transgressions,
i.will.soar.

you can tell how much a person is in grace, by looking a the capacity of his/her heart.
and whether the heart extends to just his/her friends, or to everyone, enemies and disliked people included.
because only agape love is unfailing.
oh yes, i realised something today. that god uses those who're really unexpected. he uses fishermen, tax collectors etc.
in today's context, its the people who're what people consider 'bad eggs' who rise up, because grace is for the undeserving, disqualified. its these 'bad eggs' who really have god's grace manifested in their lives, and they shall labour more abundantly. because these 'bad eggs' are those who are least expected to become someone great in the kingdom of god. but whoever's the last, will become first.
man, i'm happy to be a bad egg. because i've got nothing to be proud of, but in christ, i am what i am today. thank god for grace. because the deserving never get any. WAHA. :D
thats the way the kingdom operates. and the good news is that, its not this worldly kingdom that matters.
god's kid (:

H1N1's hit us ! it was only a matter of time. bound to hit us one.
But its okay !
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
psalms 91:7
i really believe in this verse so strong. a thousand people may die from bird flu in mexico, ten thousand in other countries. but it will not come near me. why ? such a simple reason. god loves me (:
oh yea i'm his sweet child of mineee. :)
starts singing sweet child of mine*

3. prepare for exams.
sounds little, but its quite alot. but god's with me, so everything's gonna be alrighttt. favoured child :D
its been a weekend, tiring, but satisfying. had a stayover with friends, mostly cell people, and it was great to have them over, and there were 8 of them, including me and my brother would be 10. awesome time. mahjong, bridge, singing songs and just slacking. i dont really mind whatever reason they come to cell for. because if there's a reason for them to come, its good enough for me. i just share the word, and the word will change their lives. (:
the next two weeks are gonna be 'shiong' with all the pressure coming from school. but i'm not gonna be stressed over something so trivial as school. Jesus is my shalommm peace. AMEN :D

its amazing to see that God cares, everytime. its just amazing. His love for me, is endless.
came home today after a long day in school, and the whole day i was feeling listless, and my mind's been filled thinking about lots of stuff.
and then i took a shower after coming back, and without the distractions of people and technology, God just suddenly visited me. and i wasnt praying or anything. he just came, and we had sort of a conversation. i wasnt talking out loud, but my spirit inside was communing with Him. and God was listening to my thoughts the whole day, and he just had a conversation with me, so real, and it was really what i needed.
he brought me to the time of issac and jacob. back to the first book of genesis. and god showed me how fast issac married rebecca. just waiting for a sign, for a woman whose flock was waiting to be fed, and then after that a meal between them both, and they got married. and i'm very sure their marriage was a happy one. they're decendants of abraham ! and then god took me to jacob and rachel. the moment jacob saw rachel, he fell in love with her, and served 14 years just to get her hand in marriage. and it was a really happy one too, considering jacob's two favourite sons were through rachel.
society has made relationships so complex, so many conditions, so many factors, and its deceived so many people, making people have the impression, that they have to be so much more, just so they can find a life partner. this screwed up perception has made people view relationships according to a person's qualifications, looks, achivements etc. and i dont deny, that its deceived even us christians as well.
but God really spoke to me today. look at issac and jacob. they never really went through looking at qualifications, compatibility whatsoever. and i as a christian, finding a life partner, doesnt really have any conditions to fulfill. in the end, its all just about whether feelings for each other are mutual, and if both of them love God more than their spouse, then thats all that matters. as decendants of abraham, whoever we choose, god will annoint. like jacob, you love someone, you just go for it, without worrying about the differences whatsoever, and the only thing we need to make sure is if the other half, whether boyfriend or girlfriend, put Jesus first above everything else. because Jesus has to be the glue in a relationship.
and we can only love God more than our spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend, when we realise He gave up his son for us. and showing that agape love that Jesus showed us, to our boyfriend/girlfriend, is all we need to do. to love without limit. that no matter what, we'll always love the person, even if the person doesnt appreciate it. because when Jesus gave up his life, he didnt just give it up who accepted it, but also those who rejected, those who didnt appreciate what he did. and thats the true agape love, the unconditional love.
God knew what was troubling me, and i guess all people will be touched, when they feel the agape love. its amazing. Jesus gave up his life, even though our feelings werent mutual yet, and he just waited for us, to finally realise the love he had for us, and then the feelings become mutual. love has no boundaries. no heart too cold, no heart too hard.
relationships. its not that complex as the world portrays it to be. its so simple. you like someone, if the feeling's mutual, and if both of you put God before your spouse, then thats all. its really, really, not that complex as what it seems.
i'll care, no matter what.
thank you Lord, for opening my eyes. you touched my heart, just what i needed.
the lord my banner.

a friend told me something yesterday, which really triggered my thinking.
'going to live up to the potential i know i have.'
and then i realised. then my destiny, my potential, is to be more than a conqueror. and i can have victory over everything in this life through Jesus Christ ! i guess its a truth i forgot, and always asking myself why do i still fall, even when i dont want to ? why do i do things i dont want to do ? but that shouldnt be the question i'm asking. the question i should be asking is, ' sin, where is your sting ? i'm still the righteousness of God in Christ.'
revelation. even in the the lower points of my life. there his strength is made perfect in my weakness. He's sovereign over my life. and because of the cross, the path of the righteous will only get brighter. amen.
assignment is due next week, and i really have no motivation to start. ahhh. heck it. i'll do it over the next few days.
went for jogging this morning with danny. clocked in around 11 minutes for 2.4. but i know i can do faster. definitely (:
time to get a pair of new running shoes. running is kinda fun. brings back memories of old days, where the track was the stage, where the track was a development of strength, development of perseverance.
i'm oer the running days now. but its great to be running again. and track is better, once you get used to it.
running anyone ? i'm not here to lose weight. thats just something that'll take place subconciously. running maybe to.. i dont know. fun i guess ? heh. (:

"Lord you are goooood, and your mercy endureth forever."
EDIT: just watched indescribable again, by louie giglio. it brought back memories, but more importantly, i'm reminded of God's unending love for me. that this huge universe. i cant even describe it. so have my transgressions been removed from me, to the end of the universe. and He still loves me the same, no more, no less, no matter how many times i sin. what a Jesus we have. wooo.

i'm nto back on dota, just a game with my classmates. their really noob, cause they just started, so they keep losing. need me ah :D haahaha. playing against 803 i think. hoho.
i really like this quote. one of the more deep quotes i know of, and it acutally makes sense. sounds simple, yet profound in its own way.
"Imperfection is beauty, maddess is genius.
It's better to be absolutely ridiculous than to be absolutely boring.
And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want,
because if they care enough to bother with what I do,
then I'm already better than them."
- Marilyn Monroe
wolverine fighting the leviathan. awesome shitz.
finally, after my dear computer has been on for straight 4 days torrenting, i guess it finally needs a shutdown to rest. hoho. and time to get back on the sermons. this game will not steal my time away. just that wolverine's always been my favourite character in xmen. awesome.

damnn. i wanna buy so much stuff.
female berms from mango, female black jeans from mango, pair of oni tigers, the tele, synapse, and guitarhero, mac mini, LG renoir or htc dream, Dior crocodile skin vintage jacket which costs 4000 dollars. oh my son.
lololol. but in His time. and he'll give me exceedingly, abundantly, ABOVE all i can ask or think. i dont care how absurd it sounds. i just ask and believe. no harm in doing that. and i know that God watches over His word to perform it. (Jeremiah 1:12)
In His time. and i really thank god. that he's working in my life, so subtlely. like how the buses just come the moment i reach the bus stop. when he's taught me how to love people like i've never did, for the patience he's put in my heart, for granting the deepest desire in my heart, for so much more, listing it will just be crazy.
17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
Colossians 1:17
IN HIM, ALL THINGS CONSIST !
the greek word for consist here is sunistēmi. which is made up of two different words, 'soon' and 'histemi'. soon means together, and histemi means holdup. put them together, sunistēmi means 'hold up together', or hold together.
In our lord, all things HOLD together ! In his hands, our lives will never fall apart. he'll never let us fall apart, never let us crumble ! i looked through esword for this word, and i came across it. man. God is great. the person who invented esword is a GENIUS.
TGIT. thank god its thursday ! i've got a 4 days school week, which i really love alot. just awesome. my weekends are like half of my week, including thursday afternoons which are spent nuaing in lecture theatres. ahahaha.
cant wait to see what god has in store for me in the future. ohhh yeaa.

all my life, i've wanted to watch the lake house (movie). never got a chance to. finally today i did.
i know it came out 3 years a go back in 2006. but at least i finally got to watch it.
its such an awesome show. i dont even know how to put it into words.
even though sandra bullock gave up hope on everything between her and keanu reeves, she realised just at the very end, how much he cared for her, exactly on the day he was supposed to die. and sometimes, love really has no boundaries. no matter how far they are, no matter the time difference between them, no matter what happens, they held on strong. i saw the writing on the wall for her, the tree he planted, the house he painted. and the book that sandra gave to keanu. that scene was really touching.
though its just a movie, but guess what. the movie is directed, produced based on the human mind, and to conceive up a storyline like that is remarkable. usually either party dies in most shows. but this one was an exception. fantastic show. if you guys want the link to watch, msn me. pretty good quality and fast streaming.

wooo. here we go. thursday. ready for it, because Jesus walks before me. i may be 18, small, not ready enough to face this mountain in front of me. but if i have faith as small as a mustard seed and say to this mountain, MOVE, it will. i believe it. so strong.
As Jesus is, so are We in this world. 1 john 4:17
thats the way god sees us. but i've had revelation !
thats the way god sees us, and thats who we ARE! literally ! As Jesus healed the man born blind, so am I, who has the power to heal the blind. as Jesus is, holy, almighty, because He is in me as I am in Him, i have the same power that Jesus has ! whatever Jesus can do, so can i ! because my faith is in the cross. and philippians 4:13, when it says ALL things, it really means ALL things. not somethings, ALL things. anytihng is possible. raising people from the dead, facing all this persecution, despite my age, despite my sins, my flaws. because Christ strengthens me !
oh my gosh, and this is the best revelation, which just flowed even as i'm typing. The same RESURRECTION life that flows through Jesus, my vine, flows through me ! ((: and i am in him, as he is in me. what a beautiful revelation. He who has the power to resurrect himself after being dead from three days, has given me the power, which flows through me. and through Jesus' finished work on the cross, if death is overcome, then i can overcome, ANYTHING. which brings me to one of the most beautiful verses, 1 john 5: 4-5.
4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
I believe. I believe He came to die for me because he loves me so much, so that i might have an abundant life in Jesus Christ. Amen. how great, is He who gave his life up, just for me.
just for me.
When i am weak, then I am strong. in persecutions, i will be strong. Jesus is my defender. and HE is on MY SIDE. Jesus is my shield. Jesus is my God, my Lord, my provider, and what a beautiful and literal revelation he came to give. He will never leave me, nor forsake me, because on the cross, God forsook Jesus, so that i'll never be forsaken. Amen. Jesus is so great. awesome in every way.
9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9
I take pleasure ! this verse just clears all the doubts in my head about my faith. that even through all persecution, taking pleasure in them, just like Paul did, is exactly what's to be done. And i can glory ! in all my infirmities, because God still sees me as righteous. Amen.
lol after reading what i just wrote in that previous paragraph up there, i can bet people are going to say ' are you giving people the license to sin, julian ? are you saying that its alright ? ' hahaha, all i'm going to say is, think before you comment. you dont need a license to sin at all. you've been sinning since Day 1 without a license. lol. if you guys wanna meet up for coffee to talk more, contact me on msn, saithelord@hotmail.com. its cool (:
okay, i just gotta let this burst out ahaha.
TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT DEVIL ! CMON. IS THAT ALL YOU GOT ?! HE THATS IN ME, IS GREATER THAN HE THAT'S IN THE WORLD ! GREATER THAN YOU DEVIL ! AMEN ! :D
crazy post, and all, but who cares ! i'm crazy about JESUS!
11 I have become a fool in boasting;
just 2 verses after 2 Corinthians 12:9. yes i'm a fool. foolish enough to ignore all thats going on around me, ignore all the stuff the devil's throwing at me, but focus on the cross. the ultimate expression of love.
Jesus, you're so damn awesome. i just click the button ' Create post', and everything starts flowing.
everyday with you Lord, is sweeter than the day before (:
here we go, Jesus ! face the persecution with me ! ((:
shalom !
those who know my mother blog, do go there for updates as well !

THIS WEEK WILL BE A GOOD WEEK, I PROCLAIM ! AMEN.
its weird, cause people who're having problems with me, are the very people who've never heard me share before. And its puzzling, cause the people who would normally question me first should be people who're maybe from my cell, or people who have heard my sharing. but well, everyone's entitled to their opinions. them, and also, including me. heh. works both ways (:
16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
Above all ! above everything ! i will take up the shield of faith. faith in who ? faith in Christ Jesus my Lord and savior. ((: and with which, I WILL be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one ! Whatever's thrown at me, it'll be quenched Amen ! :D
mann, i feeeeel good, teh neh neh neh neh neh neh, sings the i feel good song*
my faith in Christ Jesus, that he's my righteousness, will help me overcome everything in this world, even my faith. 1 John 5:4
recently, i've found the capacity to love people so much more than i used to, and i thank god he softened my heart. i never really loved my east youth cell that much in the past, come to think of it. and now everyday, i'm thinking of events, activities, so that they'll have a place they belong to, a cell group, thats not about to fade that soon, unlike the youth cell groups which are restructured every year, which is kinda of a short period for tight bonds to be fostered.
my aim, 20 people. and God will give us exceedingly abundantly, above,
all that we can ask or think. amen.
think big, and God has to exceed it. amen to that.
shalom !

went to watch passion of the christ on youtube today. i skipped al lthe way to the flogging, and the crucifiction of Jesus Christ. it made me cry, just like it always has, and once again a reminder, of what i'm living my life for. to be none other than a great testimony of the very man, yet very god, who gave his life for me. with a blink of an eye, he could have killed the two roman soldiers flogging him. with just a thought, he could have killed all those persecuting him. with just a motion, he could h aveput the soldiers in his place, and made them suffer. but he didnt. He prayed 'God, My heart is ready.'
and i know i'm am the soldier. my sins, my imperfections that caused him to be whipped, that cause him to wear the crown of thorns, that caused his bones to be broken, that caused him to be crucified, just for me. just for me.
He said as well, 'Those who persecute you, are instead persecuting me.' but for the man who went all out to save me. for the man who spent 3 days in hell, who went through the worst death and torture a man could ever go through, so that i can spend eternity with Him in heaven, persecution is nothing.
And Praise be to Jesus ! For because of his finished work on the cross, my sins shall never be counted against me, and sin shall never be imputed into me. And King David says 'Blessed is He, whom the Lord shall not impute sin.'
Blessed am I. and Blessed are you, if you remember the cross.
4 Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
Amen.
