ministry in the cooking class

I prayed that God gives me words to speak,

In the cooking class I was invited to minister.

I woke up early and prayed to God on my bed.

I was reminded that I may walk with Jesus when I share His mindset.

Then I read the Bible and devotion and got ready to go.

I shared about Farmaz’s encounter with a Muslim lady from Indonesia.

I saw the tears seem to be watering her eyes.

I prayed for her to ask Jesus to deliver her from fear some day.

I say Jesus came to reveal Himself to me even though I didn’t see His face.

Likewise, Jesus comes to speak to her through my sharing.

I know Jesus is knocking on her door of heart just as He did to Farmaz’s door.

I wrote a letter to Lili and believed God is sending the message to her marriage.

I talked to her daughter 夢蝶 but she didn’t seem to hear.

I talked to Sarah about Japanese students and prayed to God to lead me to that ministry.

O Jesus Christ,

Thank you so much for speaking through me.

I pray for the people You speak to today and may they feel encouraged to seek You and find You. In Jesus Christ’s name. Amen.

Walk together

同心才能同行 (Walk together with the same mind.)

I heard Him saying in the early morning.

O Jesus Christ,

I desire to walk with you,

With your mind of humility and compassion.

When I meditate on who you are:

You are my Rock where I take refuge;

The dark of anxiety fades away,

My heartbeat stabilizes,

My mind is quiet,

My ears shut off the feeling of lies.

I see you are the light in me,

The temple you wash and paint and clean.

So I was transformed,

My wall turned transparent.

Let your light shine forth from me,

You are worthy of my praise,

So I am worthy of your honor through my faith in you.

And I shall have no worry if I indulge myself.

Jesus is God,

I am a mere man.

He is my solid Rock to depend on.

My worry is humane pride as skinning sand.

Only Jesus can powerfully reign

So I cast off all my burdens on His feet,

Look up to HIs shining face,

His love warms and melts all my anxiety,

Gives me integrity to guide me,

Through this earthly frame.

Prepare for trip

God has answered so many prayer

For giving me peace to step out in adventure to Italy

We got flights in low price.

We bought hidden purses.

I connect with Makiko in Rome.

I see God’s love to comfort me little by little.

Carol prayed that God is worthy so I am worthy to be rewarded by Him.

Suzie prayed that I shall not look down upon myself and I was touched to cry.

God doesn’t laugh at my worries but assure me with His peace and provision,

To help me grow bold in this season.

My hope in expectation to see the beautiful scenery and artistic paintings and drawing architecture and eating food is getting bigger because of Jesus’ peace.

No matter how much I can plan ahead,

I am comforted to know He is with me and He goes before me to prepare and go with me.

O Jesus, how I long for the trip,

With you, we shall be protected.

Praise God that

I have been redeemed,

So I can shout for joy,

My lips sing praise to Him,

I can write and tell all His righteous acts and wonderful deeds.

God increases my honor in front of foes and comforts me once again.

Take deep root

Stand firm in your faith at your gate,

As the tree takes deep root in the place God deliberately plants.

Let everything you do be through faith,

And no one shall accuse you,

As the truth of water circulates in your thoughts.

Let everything work out for your good.

When your heart loves God and people as yourself.

Give thanks for people who are doing different things from you,

For that’s God’s grace to all His people.

How much you die to the world,

Then how strong the fragrance of Jesus shall come forth from you,

You are setting free,

No need to be hurried or accepting condemnation of slowness to be perfect,

For Jesus is the Best Teacher to initiate and complete you to be perfect in His time.

Just ask for strength to follow Him daily,

So you shall be led to the complete

All things can be used for your training,

So  take heart to act upon your faith, from the daily chores to the big dreams,

Just pray first and persevere to follow His lead.

May I and my familyes be planted by His living water,

Bear all kinds of fruit of Holy Spirit in season to satisfy people’s souls,

My leaves are evergreen to heal people’s sickness of mind and body,

Through God’s authority flowing from my prayer.

(Psalm 1:2-3, Jeremiah 17:8)

Cancer free, Desiring holiness

Like chemo to kill the cancer cells,

Like blazing fire to refine metal,

Like a strong soap to bleach clothes,

Like refiner of silver to burn away the dross,

As in the presence of Christ Jesus,

Your immortal body shall be cancer free with life,

Your soul shall be sadness free at peace,

Your spirit shall be sin and guilt free in joy.

When you see His holy beauty, you just want to be like Him.

He graciously create that desire of holiness in you,

And promises to fulfill it for you through this earthly life journey.

(Malachi 3:2-3)

In the sleepless night

Sleepless night, complaining voice creeps in,

Accusing the person next to me.

However,

God’s protection covers me,

Giving me a thankful heart to praise Him.

For the person He grants me,

For the love He showers on me,

For the abundance He provides for me.

My sleepless night turns to worship

And I see His glory in the Somnia of dark.

Christ Jesus’ word is authority.

I heard the Spirit’s voice in me.

(Psalm 70:4)

God will do what He says

God has done what He said,

Bring His people scattered among nations into the land of Israel.

God continues to deal with His children,

For Christ Jesus’ name sake.

Not according to our evil ways and corrupt practices,

But according to Jesus Christ’s redemption.

To consuming the evil,

He kindled His holy fire to purge sins of rebellious against God,

And the Holy fire will never be quenched,

So He may accept us and our fragrant incense of prayer.

My earthly life is under this sanctifying process,

Until the day He comes back,

To restore all He created to be original, 

As in the beginning in the Garden of Eden.

(Ezekiel 20)

Confess and be purified

My daughter reminds me of my hidden sin.

O God, please forgive my perverse tongue to criticize.

Then God forgave me and creates me a pure heart of gratitude,

So my mouth flows out wisdom, goodness and kindness once again.

 

The world is an altar,

For me to sacrifice my flesh on it.

Not for atoning my sins,

But giving self to Christ Jesus out of love and gratitude,

So He may use me to spread the knowledge of Christ,

Everywhere like a sweet perfume.

Like the spice being crushed on the mortar,

My life becomes a Christ-like fragrance, 

Rising up to God ,

At the place God set for me,

Is where I give offering,

Constantly praying without ceasing.

Spreading the power and strength, comfort and love, encouragement and edification,

To all who fear and come near to Him.

Let my life be worship, a divine offering to God,

When I die to the flesh on the altar,

What can devil do to me through men?

Since there’s no hook of sins to be caught on,

For all are atoned and purified in the blood of Lamb through my testimony.

(Proverbs 10:31-32, 2 Corinthians 2:14-15)

Stand at my assigned gate

I pray to God in the time of His favor.

Your great love answers me with your sure salvation in Christ Jesus.

You rescue me from the mire of sins, 

Not let me sink, but deliver me in your great mercy.

You come near and rescue me,

And redeem me from my accuser.

You look for me with sympathy,

You protect me from my foes,

And assign me to stand in the gate of intercession,

Instead of sending me to the battle field in front,

So I humbly come alongside to pray for the needy,

Rather than priding over them to fix problem.

So I see your glory,

not through my works to puff ego and fall into the pit of pride,

But through the spirit to support other saints to do their works.

You build me up and settle me in your kingdom,

I and my children and their descendants shall inert and dwell in it.

(Psalm 69)
