The Jet of Prayer's Gon - TAKE OFF!! Woo!

A sequel to my previous entry... 

Yes... and like I said, he isn't free from temptations and the wants of the world. Disappointed as many would be... Jesus still loves this man.

The world at lost, falling into traps and temptations.. yet using the world's ways to redeem and vindicate themselves... Let us not be the judges... but let us pray. We can't do much... but we can pray.



I believe that LIGHT will shine forth in their lives... Friends, please pray... our small prayers joined together = great weapon! These people don't need more of us pointing fingers and judging them. They need our prayers. They need Jesus! Pray that God will send them the right people in their lives and provide their needs!

For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
- Matthew 6:32 (NIV)


God knows best what Xiao Zhu needs... and God knows best what EVERYONE of us needs... Let us look to Him!! And pray that others will draw strength from Him too!!

Ah... yes.. and pray for the churches in Malaysia too... they're undergoing persecution by the Muslims right now and many churches are being attacked. Let us pray!

Last week when I was at Lighthouse Church, the pastor mentioned, "The effects of persecution = the growth of the Church."

When God's people are scattered, that is when the Gospel reaches out. Let us stop looking at ourselves, our difficulties... our abilities... but look beyond... and pray. Because we got only 2 hands and 2 legs... but all of us CAN pray.. whether or not we can speak or not, run or walk.. we pray.

It's gonna be a year of prayers! YES!
Prayers - take off!!

Pray for Xiao Zhu!

Yesterday I met Eleen and Eliza at Dempsey St for some romantica luncha tea chill-out. Wahaha....


Me, Eleen and Eliza @ Ben&Jerrys~


Along the way, we were just speaking about forbidden love. Eliza mentioned about some forbidden love.. wahahaha... then dunno how we talked and lol... here's what I said after Eliza finished her part.

Xuan: Hey girls.... lately, I've been feeling...

Eliza and Eleen's eyes shot up in curiosity.

Xuan: Er no la.... I like someone la...

Eliza: Heh heh... like who ah...?

Xuan: Aiyah... but it's like... the forbidden love type la... so don't have to think about it la..

Eleen: Oh... forbidden...

Xuan: Ya.. He's not Christian...

Eleen and Eliza: Oh... (sounded concerned)

Xuan: Ya... He's Xiao Zhu.... Luo Zhi Xiang.

*Sudden silence*

Eliza: Walao, why are we talking to her...

Eleen: Alamak...

Wahaha... funny.... no la... but since a little more than a year ago, I have been burdened to pray for this man. Kind of forgot about it along the way..... but now.... I think we really gotta pray.

Wanna hear something I'mma say that's gonna make you cold sweat -_-" again.....?

Ok.. it's a bit lame..
.
.
.
.
but....
.
.
.
I spent some time working this out...
.
.
.
Ya ready?
.
.
.
Yeah?
.
.
.
.
.
Ok here's it!


The similarities and differences between Xiao Zhu.. and ME!

Ok... let me mention, I'm not trying to give myself the props... The similarities were mentioned by others....ok!

Some Similarites (observed by my friends and family)
1. Both crazy and lame.
2. Both got that idiotic smile sometimes.
3. Both very random when speaking... can make people go -_-"
4. Both can break out into a dance and song anytime.
5. Both can imitate others.
6. Both cute la (my opinion.. wahaha).
7. The list goes on... find out and observe la..! 

Some Differences (observed by myself)
1. He's famous in the media industry I'm not.
2. He dances better than me.
3. He speak better Mandarin and I speak better English. wahaha..!
4. He's yet to know Jesus....

Ah... ok, took me a long winding road, as usual, to come to my main point, point 4 - He's yet to know Jesus.

I chanced upon two videos of his concert clips today... that just made me tear along with him... but beyond the superficial tears... deep down inside, I prayed.. God, help this man. Y'all know what I mean.... You know God's heart for him... Jesus loves this man.

So many artistes in the entertainment industry have fallen into different temptations given along the way.. especially when they are rising up in success.. Breaks my heart to see that. I ask for you to pray hand in hand with me for them.... for this man and his family to be touched by God and be protected under His Wings....

God touched the lives of Van Ness, Jin, Edison Chen.. and many others who are now shining for Jesus in the industry... God will continue to touch lives! I believe He will!! :)

If you're interested... here are them videos. Just 2 of them... and see if you feel like I did. (sorry if you don't know him or the language...!)

First concert in year 2005, few days after his Dad passed away.


Second concert in 2008, with his mum


Through his effort and perseverance over the years, he has gotten this far.

As much as Xiao Zhu desires to make an impact in the society and touching many souls however he is able to, God desires to touch this man. Let's pray that one day, Xiao Zhu will be standing up there on the stage, telling people what God has done for him and his mum.

Be a bright light, by following the Bright Morning Star.

I believe God will move and answer prayers as His people pray... so if you came by.. let's pray!! :)

Prayers... take off!!

The Kingdom of God is Forcefully Advancing

From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it.
- Matthew 11:12 (NIV)

Just read from Bro Van Ness about the Asian hip hop industry and what God's been doing in the lives of so many... especially Bro Jin. Go Jin, for God and for Asia!

The lives of the 2 men, dedicated unto God, advancing with His Kingdom, despite the temptations of the industry and their own weaknesses, God revealed His Glory on the lives of these individuals... and more to come.




Autumn Concerto TV ratings have been climbing and soaring over the weeks, hitting a great 7.76 this week, like no other drama has ever. Even if there was, it would have been so few.... God's hand is truly upon this show, and the success of this young man - Van Ness. May we continue to keep this brother in prayer as God ushers him unto success and fame, yet keeping his heart fully unto God.

A quote from Bro Van Ness, "2010…Let Him Begin…try it…fits better than a T-shirt~".

Yeah yeah... let's pray for the media industry to rock for God! :)

Go4God!

The Treasure Hunter

The holiday is flying past.. initially it started slow... but now I so don't feel like going back... I know I can't, cuz there are still things waiting for me to do in Brisbane... can't just let my emotions pull me down!

I wonder how much longer can I endure this feeling of leaving home over and over again... but then if I'm back here for good, will I really be happy?

Either way... I believe God's got something GOOD worked out for me.. so I just gotta keep running, and doing what I've been called to do, at work and at home... and wherever I am!



Watched The Treasure Hunter today with Mum @ the new shopping centre in Bugis, called Illuma.. nice place, I think I really like Illuma.. as for the movie, not too bad filming... Jay Chou?

Forever the same when he acts.. I don't think he will ever wanna star in a role that doesn't make him look all 帅and 威风, agree? I used to admire this Jay Chou guy yeah, not that I don't admire his talents anymore... but... I just feel pride soaring in his life at this point... It's very normal again.. for him at where his success has taken him to this day.

But I really do feel a bit broken for this brother you know... yes.. bro Jay. I do love his success and where he is at today... but on the other hand... I think he could do more than just that with his life too! Brothers and sisters, let's keep him in prayer alright? :)

Photos!


So that's me and Illuma Shopping Centre




That's a cool Jap restaurant!



Met the WanAtutu girls yesterday~!
Drea, Gera, Eliza, Me and Eleen!




Then as we were about the leave, Artery Soon Hwee came by while he was heading home from work! Woo hoo~ nice reunion, we had to take another photo!



My family outing @ JP @ Ding Tai Feng on Saturday 2nd Jan 2010.
I love you family!



There are 3 sick ladies in my house now.. and I'm one of the them. Haha... coughing coughing cough.. COUGH! (splat) oops..!

Hey 2010 let's freestyle

Yay yay yay~~ Imma say
What's that eh? It's New Year's Day!!
Don't be playin' i'm sensin' i'm hearin'
and I know it's gon be rockin'
my world this new year things gon be changin' 
and I'mma aspire to make some breakin'
through the steps He'll be guidin'
me to and you'll see me droppin' the beat in
the new stations too
no new slogan but only God is GOOD!

Yes, welcome my friends into the year 2010.

I had a dream the other night and I was freein' non-stop, the flow was just so good, I wonder where it came from. And then I woke up, and I realised, that it wasn't just a dream, but freein' could be so easy like it came out from just within'.

Here's just another set I wrote... may it bless your heart!


My God, His Holy Spirit has given me something,
this New Year and I'm gonna be doing some exploring
There are gifts and talents that still needs some using
and I won't confirm what they are but keep checking
back here if you might find out in random
the words that come out i can't fathom
the mysteries of heaven
yes the Spirit that works in 'em
and in His people and He hovers
across the waters He created
and oh I was gonna mention...

started this year without a voice but made it through the day
but you know i had a choice and God's light shone the way
i turned on my computer and there was some hate mail
yo instead of raging rather i chosed the peace rail
them who say i'm crazy 'bout God i really gotta say
a privilege you labelled me and ya all made my day
too much critics but i'm glad that randoms came this way
to my blog to pick it douse flame or make play

and i know the rebuke ain't for me to make chase
all i gotta do is pray and just in case, 
you wondered or pondered or cracked at the thought why i bothered
that's because of Grace
that was bought at a cost - His life
i'm redeemed, set free from a life full of strife
so now i'm forgiven and able to forgive
to my enemy who's thirsty, water i will give
if you slap me on the left i will turn you my right 
and press on to be Jesus' salt and light!

you know in this world we can never please man
if you have the bible yo now hold it in your hand
Galatians first ten states it real nice
so you know all i wanna do is please my Lord, Christ
and i wanna sing and write for the glory of the Lord
cut pride and let humilty saturate my guitar chords
music and the Spirit nicely entangles deep within
let the Lord write my music and the songs be sang for Him



you know what friends, i sense, this year its gon be fun!!
it's gonna be exciting... didn't say it was gonna be easy....

but.... let's just keep praying and let God do the rest!
