are we headed the right way?

that's gotta be one of the most popular questions in my life. and most of the time its not biblically covered per se, because both choices seem 'right'. but generally theres an inclination to a certain path, but like darn its always the harder road. so we procrastinate about it; am i sure? do i really have to go this way? its always at the decision making point where i hang around.

so i make the decision, and sometimes i look back- 'am i headed the right way?'. usually i'd say yes if theres a sense of peace in me in making a decision. for some reason people always seem to think 'well i keep getting all this spiritual attacks when i chose this route, so i must've gone the wrong way'. i beg to differ! everytime you make a decision that God wants you to, i would think that it would guarantee you the big boss slamming his fist on the table (if they have tables of fire) going 'i want this man distracted from what he does at ALL COSTS'.

so there. and the very day you accepted Christ was the day you jumped onto satan's most wanted list (which happens to be more than 1.5 billion people now). thats when the spiritual battle started, when you were born again. that was when you had the faith of a child, following God everywhere he led you because you only knew Him. then slowly but surely satan started drawing you away from God, old habits and all.

and yes sometimes it seems overwhelming, but naw, you can resist the devil. James 4:7 "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." easier said than done? maybe not, easier doubting than believing more like. Jesus died for us so we could destroy the works of the devil, and we have the Holy Spirit to help us with that; dont overcome sin with our own willpower, but with God's grace and the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 12:21 reads "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

so then, dont close this window without saying a prayer.

religious tolerance

has society grown to be more open to religion and be more tolerable to each other? yes we have; except for Christianity. we have always been the 'ideal' role model players and because of that we decide ourselves that we should be the ones showing 'love' and religious tolerance. in the process of being 'religiously tolerant' we have simply allowed others to step all over what is true to us.

yes, we have backed ourselves into a corner and kept within our own community, preaching to everyone who comes within our safety limits (which happens to be the church. only.) we don't dare to take religion out into the streets and witness for Christ, even to our friends, all we do is ask them to come to church; do we tell them about Christ, about why they are doomed to hell? only breifly. an invitation to church is not a call to salvation, its not considered as hearing the gospel.

we cannot just stand in our own squares anymore, we cannot play defensive, we have to move our pieces and invade for Christ. we cannot stay lukewarm to the fact that all our friends are going to perish in hell for thinking that they are 'following the truth'. i'm not promoting hatred for other religions, i'm simply saying that people get misguided and they need to know God for who he really is.

the truth has to be told, 'love' is not religious tolerance. love is telling your misguided friend the truth that is real to you- that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven; like it or not. people hate christianity because christianity believes that anyone who doesnt believe in Christ will go straight to hell, dont pass go, no 200 dollars.

im sorry if you're a non christian reading this, but this is the truth; your believing that the sun would shine everyday for all eternity does not affect the truth that it will eventually collapse; your inability to see the waterfall beyond the horizon doesnt mean that hell doesnt exist.
if you are a non christian, i urge you to think where you are right now, and consider what happens after you die. there IS an afterlife, everything around us proves it.

for the Christian, its time to get off your bum, and not be a lukewarm servant of God. its time for all of us to march as one army; because Christ is coming back and satan will do all he can to pick us off; and he goes for the lone ranger. so walk together as one.

cure for cancer

when i was in ycom camp, my mom went into hospital, suspected gall stones. did a checkup, found gall bladder inflamed. pended treatment for a couple of days. CT scan revealed dark shadows in several places, including the lymph nodes; suspected cancer (probability very high). apparently when cancer reaches the lymph nodes it can spread to anywhere in the body.

joy to the world :)

when ps philip was sending around the sms asking people to pray for his baby's birth (because they didnt want to do a caesarian), sinyi got the sms and showed me, and i went like 'oh the baby'll be fine' and i said it with like teh peace of God, and true enough the baby was fine.
so i was trying to force this 'feeling of peace' when we were praying for my mom when she had back problems, and try as i might i couldnt force it. haha. then when my dad told me that she had cancer i suddenly got that peace, because i know God's going to work thru this.

mom came home on christmas eve, and i was thinking 'maybe healing is God's gift to mummy on christmas'. yeah, i woke up this morning cos i had a dream that my dad burst into the room going "MUMMY'S COMPLETELY HEALED!" and i looked around and asked God like "is it true?"

we'll find out on tuesday :) and qudle is closing today.

seven days.

a miracle will happen within seven days. just wait and see.
