IS LIFE TAKING YOU UP OR DOWN?
Do you know where Borneo birds go to when they are looking for more in life?

AS THE DEER...
I began this paining today. It is the centre piece in a set of three.
Can you guess what the other two look like?

HOW GREAT THOU ART
Pr Hezekiah playing How Great Thou Art with his Sape
His sermon which was very entertaining and thought provoking was about praising God with different musical instruments.
It made me realize that music cannot be seen.
God makes music through us.

BY WHOSE AUTHORITY?
As this journey
Is a once in a lifetime thing
And there is not turning back
Are you sure you know where you are going?

A NEW HEART
Ezekiel 11:17, 19-21 foretells of Israel and Judah receiving from God a new heart—a spiritual heart that will enable them to keep His commandments and statutes. Throughout its history, the essential difficulty in Israel's relationship with God has been one of the heart. God exclaims, "Oh, that they [Israel] had such a heart in them that they would fear Me and always keep all My commandments, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!" (Deuteronomy 5:29).
In Hebrews 3:10, God again identifies this problem: "Therefore I was angry with that generation, and said, 'They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways'" .
The heart or spirit of a man is the center of his thought, reason, and motivation. Because of human nature, the natural—unconverted—heart is "deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked" (Jeremiah 17:9).
It has an innate, powerful pull toward the self, always making evaluations based on what it perceives as good for the individual regardless of the effect on others.
Humanity has had approximately 6,000 years of such self-centered and destructive living, proving that man is simply unable to govern himself for very long.
He needs direction and leadership from another—divine—source.

RIVER OF TOUCH
4 November is a very significant day for me.
I recieved this message and was surprised that it was sent on that very day.
River.....
City.....
Dawn.....
When all is empty God is here walking with us...if all is lost...perhaps we will find
faith......
Wednesday November 4
“…God will help her at break of day.” Psalm 46:5 NIV Comfort in troubled times When your world is suddenly turned upside down, remember, God’s plans for your life haven’t been cancelled! When you feel trapped with no way out, here are some things to remember:1) Look for the river. ‘There is a river whose streams make glad…’ (Psalm 46:4 NIV). In Old Testament symbolism, rivers represent God’s supply for your every need. When every human source of supply seems to have dried up, don’t fear, look for the river. 2) Look for the city. God has planted His ‘…city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells’ (Psalm 46:4 NIV), right in the middle of your circumstances. God’s city, the symbol of His presence and power, guarantees He’s still in control and that He will restore peace and order to your troubled world. 3) Look for the signs of God’s presence. ‘God will help [you] at break of day’ (Psalm 46:5 NIV). Daybreak, a symbol of new beginnings, gives you confidence that beyond this time of trouble and testing, a new day is at hand. ‘Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning’ (Lamentations 3:23 NLT). 4) ‘Come…see the works of the Lord…’ (Psalm 46:8 NIV). Reviewing the record of His mighty acts builds your faith and reminds you that He is the ‘…same yesterday and today and forever’ (Hebrews 13:8 NIV). If He took care of you then, He will take care of you now. 5) Look to God and be at peace. Based on the tested and proven foundation of His power and faithfulness, you can live by the Scripture, ‘Be still, and know that I am God…’ (Psalm 46:10 NIV).

PAUL AND WISDOM
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
(16) Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. (17) For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, (18) while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

HOW LONG?
How Long, O Lord
When O Lord shall I ever be free
From the turmoil I have inside?
When will I finally know the freedom
I should have in Jesus Christ?
There’s no one that could understand
What I go through every day
They cannot see inside my heart
Nor feel the words I pray
I know my Lord you’re drawing out
These things I’ve buried deep
That I may face them at this time
Though it causes so much grief
I know I need to deal with this
In order to be moving on
But I need to ask this one thing
LordI need to know ‘How long’
How long O God will I be this way?
When will I finally be free?
How long will I cry out to you?
O Lord please answer me
I feel at times like giving up
But I know I must press through
It seems so overwhelming Lord
And so very hard to do
I know I need to focus on
One little step at a time
For that is all I can take right now
For the way is steep to climb
I thank you Lord you understand
You know just how I feel
And you will bring me through one day
Freed and totally healed
I long O God for that day
When I shall be restored
And become the person I should be
Bringing glory to you Lord

God Answers Prayers
Not By Race, But By God's Grace
We’ve been joined as family together
Through God’s unmerited grace
A union beyond nationality
Beyond culture, creed and race
United together through Jesus Christ
No matter where we come from
For the grace of God has no limit
Nor boundaries we can’t go beyond
But it extends right across the world
To every corner of the globe
The light of God must reach out toward
The ones that do not know
That they will believe in Jesus Christ
And be filled with God’s own light
For Jesus accepts all that would come
No one will He ever deny
For we were once in darkness too
Dying and lost in our sin
But in God’s love He saved our souls
And placed His love within
We’ve come from different walks of life
And so many different lands
But it shouldn’t matter in the family of God
And we must come to understand
That when our Lord looks upon us
He does not see our race
But looks straight into our open hearts
Where He’s filled us with His grace
For this is what truly binds us
Together in His love
Brothers and sisters in the Lord
Washed clean by Jesus blood
For when we come together in love
We are truly unified
It shouldn’t matter where we’ve come from
For Jesus will be glorified!

RUN
RUN
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
Light up...
Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
Light up...
Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

BLESSED ASSURANCE
"Blessed Assurance" is a well-known Christian hymn. The lyrics were written in 1873 by blind hymn writer Fanny J. Crosby to the music written in 1873 by Phoebe P. Knapp.
Based on Hebrews 10:22
vs.1
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long;
this is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.
vs.2
Perfect submission, perfect delight!
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
(Refrain)
vs.3
Perfect submission, all is at rest!
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with his goodness, lost in His love.
(Refrain)

THIS IS MY STORY
This is my story
This is my song
Praising my saviour
All the day long
This is my story
This is my song
Praising my saviour
All the day long
Tears streamed down
This morning when I heard this song
I heard you singing it
Somewhere
I saw many slaves
Many who met Jesus
Many who knew Him as Saviour
Overwhelmed by the presence of God
Cry with joy and pain
For the ache that could not be explained
For it is so ironical
That the Saviour has no place in the world
For many who are not free
So when the man found the precious pearl
He gave away all his possessions
To have this pearl
The pearl is the once in a life time meeting
When man comes face to face with his God
So how would that man feel?
He cannot speak
He cannot describe
He cannot deny
He just changes forever
There is no choice here
Which man would want to reject God?
Was it the Holy Spirit that touched him?
Was it the Holy Spirit that touched me?
Is it the Holy Spirit that moved me to write this?
And for whom do I write?
I write for you
This is my song
Praising my saviour
All the day long
This is my story
This is my song
Praising my saviour
All the day long
Tears streamed down
This morning when I heard this song
I heard you singing it
Somewhere
I saw many slaves
Many who met Jesus
Many who knew Him as Saviour
Overwhelmed by the presence of God

Was it the Holy Spirit that touched me?
Is it the Holy Spirit that moved me to write this?
And for whom do I write?
I write for you

for you
IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel “not good enough"?
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction, oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of an Angel, fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here
So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
In the arms of an Angel, far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel “not good enough"?
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction, oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless, and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of an Angel, fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here
So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
In the arms of an Angel, far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

HE SPOKE WITH AUTHORITY
A dove told an angel and the angel told me to tell you
And so I read what the message gave me
Matthew 5 to 7
Jesus spoke with authority
They wondered how He could be so sure of what would befall those who act in certain ways
He listed clearly what we should do and should not do
Some instructions may seem unreasonable
And so I thought
When God gives an intruction
What choice do we have
We obey
Joyfully
For He came to fulfill the prophecy
Today I would like to just focus on one small part of what He said at that time
He taught us how to pray
FATHER IN HEAVEN
HOLY IS YOUR NAME
YOUR KINGDOM COME
ON EARTH AS IN HEAVEN
Today this means something new
It means
The purpose of God will prevail
And so I read what the message gave me

UNSEEN
You are there everyday
Yet sometimes I do not see
You are helping always
Yet many times I grieve
You are there wanting
To welcome us home
We who wander aimless
Who look for others
Not seeing the unseen
Friday, October 2, 2009
THANK YOU
Thank you for this
and for so many little miracles
and most of all for bringing home
all who have wandered off and lost their way
