I praise and thank God for such a blessed trip home. Not that it's over, but it's going great here.
I've always heard about people returning home feeling dry spiritually.. and I was prepared for that. But the Lord spoke to me,
"You're going home on a mission."
Though I didn't really understood it the time He spoke, it remained in my heart.
PRAISE THE LORD. Just
15 minutes before we entered the departure hall, the Lord saved my mother. I cried, I did. What better joy is there to see your loved one come to know the Lord, and to step up in courage and faith to receive the salvation Jesus has offered. Now my mum has taken the step to know the Lord and to walk with Him... praise God... PRAISE GOD!
It's hard to be a baby Christian, but I'm thankful that God has allowed me this chance to guide my mum in her walk! Isn't it awesome..? And for a start, I got my mum...
Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren (Chinese Version)
and
bilingual HOLY BIBLE
She's been faithfully reading the purpose driven life!!! PRAISE GOD!!
And you may be wondering what the other Bibles are for? :)
I also bought my mum a manga version of the Gospel cuz she was having difficulty understanding the Gospel. It's a cool way of learning... this book spurted my growth in the word. I'd greatly encourage all to read it!
Manga Messiah
Mum has been faithfully reading this book too!! It's so good... PRAISE GOD PRAISE GOD!!
I love the book, and it's so anime/manga like. And they made Jesus and his disciples so cool/cute/good looking. :P

Well on another note, I've been yearning for more spiritual growth... and food... and thank God for He led me to Hope Singapore yesterday... and I never regretted going. The presence of the Lord was so strong... that I heard from Him... so much.
"Where's your faith? Have faith in me."
"All that aside... where's your faith?"
"Leave all that aside... start with your faith."
Yes... faith..
"Where is your faith?" he asked his disciples.
In fear and amazement they asked one another, "Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him."
- Luke 8:25
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"
- Matthew 14:31
The Lord reminded me the source of my spiritual zeal - fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is a person, not a power. Though I know that in my mind... subconsiously have I began to think of anointing, empowerment and leading of the Holy Spirit as a boost to me physically and mentally. Yet the Lord saved me from drowning within such subconsious thoughts... and brought me back once again into this realisation - fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
Yes... the Holy Spirit is a person, and He lives in us. He is the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Jesus.
You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
- Romans 8:9
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
- Ephesians 4:30
Yes.. a power cannot grieve, nor does a power have knowledge and will (1 Cor 2:11), a mind (Rom 8:27) or love (Rom 15:30).
Yeah... and the point I made the decision to come back into a closer relationship with God, I feel the spiritual fulfillment once again. God looks after His children.. and will do all things to lead them back to Him.
Praise the Lord.
I'm going to M'sia (Muar) in a few a few hours... and I believe God has something in store for this short little trip too!
PRAISE THE LORD FOREVER!!!
