Sat Band Get Together July 04 2006
i'm so blessed... to be under a ministry of a man who preaches love and mercy, grace and favor. n of no random tom, dick or harry, but of the greatest lover n saviour of mankind - my Lord Jesus. n i'm so glad to be under e care of great leaders, who truly, have a heart for Jesus, a desire to bring the best for Him.
today's get together for me was awesome cos of a few things - one was tat, of cos, He came n touch me in His personal way again today. these few days have been filled wif His presence n overwhelming sense of love n ownership of my life. can't say enuf 'thank you's to Him. :)
then i got to understand e leaders' hearts better as well. way cool... cos knowing their hearts means it's so much easier to embrace criticism n correction, cos you know tat they are actually for you, n they just want you to be better, cos they feel u r up to it. love comes first before correction. awesome time.
oh, last but not least, it also put into perspective a few doubts i had. way cleared man!! hallelujah. it's just so Him to like do it in style, and yet full of His loving kindness. oh man... my Daddy is the most zhai. WAT'Z UP!!! ;p
the one impt thing tat i caught from the session, is tat let's return. let's return to that SIMPLICITY tat used to guide our lives. that simplicity of being a christian, of just following tat peace. let's forget all e striving on, working harder than we know we ought to be. let's stop being stressed, n let's start being blessed. just as we used to be. when we first known Him. :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
started the session with good, glorious FOOD!! yum yum. :) the mutton curry at e small store beside e tampines S11 is BAGUS!!!!!!! so shiok!! all the mutton n all the curry, could not make e mighty men n women hold their horses... we just attacked n attacked n attacked e poor curry... *droolzzzzz
then, we watched e United DVD on how e worship team grew to be n an account of their hearts n feelings. man it was good. all along, i thought tat they were good from e start(kk, i drink evian i know.) . but hey, surprise surprise... they were HORRIBLE!!! marty couldn't sing for nuts man!!! hahahaha!!!! so funny!!! but oh man, when e revelation dawned on me... HE SINGS DAMN WELL NOW. n the way he plays. oh man... IT'S GOD.
those 2 words kept popping up in my head. IT'S GOD. it really is. how not just him, but e whole United band... becoming from tat band tat knew only how to play 3 songs for a camp, to where they r today - producers of albums tat sell millions of copies. how can it NOT be God?!?! it has got to be Him. n one thing i love wat marty said,
"if we as a band that's normal as normal can be, and ordinary as ordinary can be, and we can be brought to this new place, where God does wonderous things in our midst, show us great things along the way, man, i think any band can experience it."
this i claim. Lord, i thank You Lord, that You have indeed, called everyone in e Sat Band to be there for a purpose, for them to be brought to a whole new level of praising n worshipping Your name. n yet, as Ade prayed Father, let our hearts be always be towards You n You alone, n be full of e desire to glorify You alone. let every criticism be taken as a constructive suggestion n let everyone's heart be ready to receive n give out grace. Lord, You are our sufficiency. in every area we lack, You are the Filler n the Giver. in every talent we seem to have not yet discovered, Lord, accelerate and give unto us. Lord, we thank You, that all we need to do, is to come back to e simplicity of seeing You as our everything, n You will do all the rest. thank You for making it so simple, n thank You Jesus for making it POSSIBLE to be simple. i love You, n i pray all these in Jesus' powerful n loving name. amen.
yeah.
so many other things... oh man, my heart is bursting. my mind can't register it all. man i wished tat there was a recording for it!! hahaha. really wanna just use this time to praise e Lord. to just let everyone know, tat, yeah, our Father is big n mighty, n most importantly, willing n loving.
been reading e bible n getting to see the bigness of His heart, how much MORE He wants to bless us in spite of ourselves, our own wants n desires. He wants to give us those, n more. u know, when i see His heart, e timing by which i receive them(the blessings) becomes irrelevant. cos i know tat my Saviour has the BEST intentions for me, n i know tat He will give unto me as n when it IS the best time to give to me. no i'm not being super 'spiritual', i fail in areas where u guys may triumph in, but hey, praise God, tat in this area, of trusting Him, He keeps me unwavered. thanks Daddy!!!
everyone, let's come back to the simplicity, the simplicity of His love, the simplicity of being a child to Him, the simplicity of the christian life. e only labor that we have right now, is to 'labor unto THE rest' - His i would assume. n His word is clear - 'come unto me, all those who r weary n heavy laden, n i shall give u rest.' u know, tat doesn't just mean rest, as in rest. deep i know. :p it's as in 'oh, i'm feeling tired, Lord give me rest'.
NO.
wat it means, is that it will give you complete rest. no, not sleeping eternally la. for example... u wanted to have 'a' in this subject for the longest time possible, but somehow, it just seems impossible. 'rest' in this case means not just having e feeling of peace, but rather, e fulfilment of ur dream. only then u will truly rest easy wat. just like if there's a pea under ur bed n u can't sleep. u just CAN'T sleep, until e pea is taken away. sze? so yeah!! see God as tat WILLING. see God as tat BIG. He knows e peas of our lives, as small or as big as they can get, they dun get bigger than His hand. n man, can He removes peas. :) oh oh, also, there is a revelation i have received tat e rest is a person, or rather a being... the Holy Spirit!! hehe, share this wif u guys another time.
anyway, wat's impossible??? with the great I M, everything is possible. :)
I M possible.
see. God shows Himself everywhere. it's whether u discover it or not.
:)
kk, there's still lots to share, but i'm running late for choir... or dance for that matter... so yeah... see ya guys!!! i love you all!!! there's campus this sat!! Lord, let it be smashing n yes!! it's done!! hehe. amen!!
ciaoz... n shalom!!!
