delight yourself in the Lord

Jesus is amazing people and you better believe it.


one day before i had just blogged on the Word of the Lord being sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of the soul and the Spirit, and its so so true. people who i think i know, or rather know about, the Spirit of God can open up to you even in an instant, and lead you to speak directly into their hearts, their secret fears that no one knows about.

its amazing what the gospel can do, and the love of God, that reaches out and touches the direct centre of your heart.

and while so often we forget our prayers - like how i even forgot about having prayed for someone to know God before - God still remembers, still is faithful and today itself, reminded me of His faithfulness.

thank you Daddy, really thank you.

I'm so happy that another one of Your precious children has heard the truth, the good news and felt Your love. and i'm just really excited for her, cause i know now that her life will never be the same again.

You're really the God of miracles. and i know, seeing all this, that people can say what they like, they can laugh, they can scoff at all this.

but i feel this so so strongly in my heart

" i will not be ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION"

its time to hear the good news.







another thing to share, which though i've shared with some already, but hey, when it comes to the Word of God and His heart of love for us, i say the more the merrier.


Psalm 37:4
"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."

the other night i was online on msn, and joshua koh ( from the DARE youth ministry - the most happening youth ministry for sec school students from ages 13 to 17 - insert cheers here) , popped up a message and said, "kailin, what is is delight yourself in the Lord?"

so i asked Jesus, hey Jesus, open this up to me, cause you said that the Holy Spirit is here to guide me and teach me in the Word right? so open this up to me and guide me in turn, in opening this up to him Lord.

its amazing what a prayer can do, and how Jesus is always constantly listening and so ready to answer us.

i felt this inner prompting that just told me to focus on the word "delight". i thought, okay, just check it out, cause i'm sure Jesus definitely has a reason for saying that, duh right?

and its amazing, because people, delight doesnt just mean to enjoy or to pleasure in.

nope, its more than that.

its means to make the SOURCE of your pleasure.



and even now, i can feel Jesus just telling me to make Him the source of all our pleasure.
such that our eyes won't be swayed by our physical circumstances or what people say about us, but that our security, our happiness, our spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health are all wrapped up in the person of Jesus Christ.

like pastor says, we're thermostats, not thermometers.
Christians are made to live the life of the glory of Jesus Christ, and we set the temperature, we're not blown about or tossed by the winds.

As Christ is, so are we in this world.
thats what the Bible says.
is as in how He is now, in His resurrected glory, in His life and health and wholeness, riches and honour.

what is it that you need?
favour?
as Christ is favoured, so are you in this world!
health?
as Christ is whole and healthy, so are you in this world!

the Holy Spirit inspired this verse as a blank check. remember, as He is, so are you in this world!
there's an equation.
as Jesus IS at the Father's right hand now = how you are in THIS world.

take hold of this people, and reign as the Children of God that He means us to be.
