In today’s Japanese BSF, I got inspired by the Holy Spirit:
Amos is an ordinary man, called by God to speak on behalf of Him.
So I asked: Father God, if Amos is just a shepherd to be called to be a prophet, how about Muhammad of Muslim who claimed to be God’s prophet?
My heart heard this:
All the revelation about the coming of Messiah has been accomplished,
So no more from any person needs to prophesy about Him.
Then it means Muhammad was not a real messenger of God to speak on behalf of Him.
今天與姊妹禱告讚美上帝的奇妙：
Learning about the sad history,
Grows my empathy for putting self in others’ shoes,
Not forcing self to be sentimental,
To try to save people with my own wit,
But remind people who they can find refuge.
(after reading “Just a girl” by Lia Levi)
經歷改變，就會放膽見證主。
跟隨主耶穌，篤信上帝，領受聖靈充滿，做個自由地說的人。
主：有主權、居首位。
知識不等於認識（主）
篤信上帝，不管遇到什麼。
It’s only needful for me to make the effort to obey,
And the strength to do so comes immediately from a higher source.
The day I was contacted by a saint,
Who is ministering for a broken husband.
God’s word came to me:
Let His mercy rule.
So I know God is drawing this man to Him
For He has given him new mercy each morning,
Another day for another second chance,
And God has been protecting all His saints and growing their faith.
So I pray for the man:
May God restore to him the joy of His salvation,
And grant him a willing spirit to sustain Him,
As he listens to God alone and obey.
I thank God for answering my prayer,
To send the saints to minister this poor man,
Along with many other saints’ prayer support.
By His wisdom,
Each saint is sent according to God’s command,
Together to act and see His glorious victory to save.
But the Lord said, “You have been concerned about this plant, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight. And should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left—and also many animals?” (Jonah 4:10-11)
Praise God for revealing Himself to
Be my fortress,
Be my Lord.
What an honor, to know Him,
As my Guide to the end.
He makes me secure forever,
To live forever and never see decay.
(Psalm 48)
***
I see God’s mighty hand,
Lift up each lost soul out of ocean waves,
Put them secure on the solid ground,
Give them each unique shape of mirror,
To reflect His shining light.
Not for hurting or comparing in the body of Christ.
But to lit up the dark world of sigh to
Come to seek the source of Light for Hope,
Each saint is his light,
In unique place for His unique vocation.
Let’s see that Light with His eyes.
And give all the thankful shouts,
To praise the God of great victories,
And cheer the saints of heavenly tribe.
***
God pours down His oil of truth,
Breathe out His fire of Spirit,
Onto each saint’s lamp of heart ,
Start to burn brightly with the oil and fire,
More saints gather, more heat they generate,
All by God’s provision and orchestration.

道在我心中，
我的口說出恩上加恩的真理，
為建造、鼓勵和安慰人靈魂，和擊退、拆毀、砍斷惡者轄制。
God see you and love you,
For Jesus Christ died and lives for praying for you.
In His name, rebuke the self pity, depreciation and pride to go away,
Then cherish the position of being a brake, not a gas pedal.
My husband is like the gas pedal and brings me to many places,
I am like the brake to balance our life with caution.
The marriage is the thoughtful combination of God’s grace.
So treasure yourself and your partner as God kindly provides for enriching and expanding your journey of life.
Dear saints,
I feel that God wants to encourage you to keep being free to be “you”.
You have been set free by the truth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior.
You are no longer your old self, but a new person in Jesus Christ.
Your struggles in the past shall nurture you to become a stronger witness to Jesus Christ’s wisdom and love and grace.
Your learning in the shadow of death will not be wasted but encourage many others who need hope of light.
You are given the gift of speaking His truthful message in love and the Holy Spirit is your wonderful counselor to continue to lead you to the people, who need to hear God’s word for themselves.
God delights in you as His faithful and good servant to be obedient to speak out His truth with as much faith as He has given you.
You will continue to shine to those who hear God through you and they shall fear God and put their trust and hope in Him alone because of your testimony and role modeling.
Here is the verse I want to give you from Psalm 40:2-3
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord
and put their trust in him.

God is your Freedom Giver! May God’s light keep shining through you. Arise and shine!
Shalom, your praying comrade
Me: Father God, would you like to give me your word?
HS: Tell her “I love you so much.”
Me: Father God, whom shall I give this word to?
HS: a lady with red dress.
Me: There could be many people wearing red coat. Father God, would you show me more what she looks like?
In my mind, I see red sweater with purple dress. Isn’t that me?
Me: Oh, Father God, is the word for me?
HS: Yes. Be you. You don’t need to copy others. You are you. まねするの必要がない。
Me: Oh, Jesus, thank you so much. I don’t need to copy what other prophets are doing. I am me.
As I pray for my family before the church sermon,
Thanking God that how blessed my kids and family believe in God.
Then my tears circle in my eyes,
Being assured that Jesus said “I love you so much” I heard just now.
The second time, I am reminded that God loves me as who I am during the sermon.
The third time, I am assured that I don’t need to copy others. I am me. after praying with sisters.
Father God, thanks so much for the precious prophesy for me.
