Eagles

Just found something nice I should share. =)


A PROPHECY AS RECEIVED BY DON FRANKLIN

"Come be a part of the flock of God - the eagles of God - the visionaries, the dreamers, those that fly high with the Lord."

I am causing a stirring within you even as an eagle stirs its nest I am stirring you, saith the Lord. I am going to cause you to rise up even as the eagle does upon wings and soar into the heights with Me. You are going to leave everything behind and you're going to come away with Me, my beloved and you're going to commune with Me, and you're going to walk with Me and talk with Me.

Come up on high with the wings of the eagle and follow into the realm of the Holy Spirit. Listen to God, pray to God, obey what God tells you in your heart to do.

Become excited about the things of God. Become excited about God again. Become excited about the things of the Spirit in your heart. Love God; teach your young ones to love God. Go beyond where this generation has gone; go beyond, saith the Lord. Go on into the realm of following the Holy Spirit in your life and doing the things that He asks you to do and become excited about the things that He brings you into.

For they will prosper; they will work. The things that I show you, the things that I lead you into, they will be blessed of God. When others are failing, you will be succeeding. When others' plans go astray you will be on track because you will trade your plans in for mine where others won't.

So don't be afraid to walk out, step out with God and follow the pathway that He leads you on. Become once again excited about the gifts and the things of the spirit. Do not allow the jadedness and the depression of others to so fill your spirit that you become one with them. But come up into the Heavenlies and become one with Me, and once again walk in the ways of the Lord.

Pray, pray much; pray heavily in the Holy Ghost. Do not be afraid to prophesy. Do not be afraid to move in the Spirit. Do not be afraid to try those things that you feel are from the Lord.

And you will knock on doors and I will open the ones that are of Me. Don't be afraid to knock. Don't be afraid to seek. Don't be afraid to dream, children. Don't let others steal your dreams because theirs have been crushed. Let your dreams be of exalting Me. Let your dreams be of my kingdom. Dream the dreams of Joseph, children. Dream the dreams of God, and I will water them and I will prosper them and I will take you where I promised you.

Rise up above it all, saith the Lord. Reject all the pessimism, doubt, and fear and depression in your spirit. It is not of you and it is not of Me. Go into that realm with God where there are bluebirds singing, where there is happiness, where there is joy. That is to be your portion of the kingdom; that is where you belong.

"In your presence, Lord that's where we belong and in your presence there is fullness of joy."

So, come into my presence and reject the rest, saith God, all of it. Reject all of it. Don't allow a shred of depression, fear, doubt, guilt or jadedness come along with you, but rise up in the Lord. Rise up in the things of the Lord and be happy, saith God. Be happy in Me.

Believe in your deliverer. Believe in the One of Israel. Let him establish you. Don't worry about position; don't worry about the how. For the Lord, I the Lord your God, will take care of the where, the when and the how. Just worry about connecting, reconnecting with Me strongly and staying in my presence daily, daily, daily.

The stirring of the Lord is upon you. The stirring of the Lord is upon you. Not the stirring of the church; not the manipulation of man trying to use you, but the stirring of the Lord. The eagle's nest is stirred by the hand of God.

May you rise up as young eagles of God full of strength and power and soaring where no one can come along to depress you, no one can come along as a hidden agent to drag you back down to earth, no one can come along pretending to be a friend while all along their mission and their job is to grab you by those legs and talons and pull you back down to their level, to earth.

Come to the camp of eagles where only eagles are allowed where you may fly and soar together, where you won't bump into one another and won't crush one another, but you will compliment one another, where you are like birds of a prey, birds of a feather. Come be a part of the flock of God - the eagles of God - the visionaries, the dreamers, those that fly high with the Lord.

Yes, God did make all of the creatures of the earth. He did make the rhinoceros. He did make the giraffe. He did make the land animals. But let the plodders plod, let the swimmers swim, let the lumbering beast lumber through their jungles, but come let the eagle soar above it all with intense visions and dreams of God.

Take your place in the Body of Christ high above it all. On eagle's wings shall I bare thee, on eagle's wings.

Sexy Rich People: You should feel bad for them

Matthew 6:20
"But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."


I read an interesting study featured on MSN.com.

Earning more money seemed to make people anxious and depressed, while those who had strong relationships were happiest.

Here's the link, check it out!

Forgiveness and love

Ok it's Beng Yu here.

So this is my very first post here on this shared blog. It's been donkey years since my name was placed under the 'Contributors' list, so today let me just live up to that status, for awhile at least. It's gonna be pretty long, so I do hope you have the patience to read till the end, and hopefully you get what I'm sharing =)

Forgiveness and love are subjects very close to my heart. I like this verse from the Bible.

Acts 13:38
"Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.

Our Heavenly Father proclaims in His Word that He forgives us all our sins. And this was done through our Lord Jesus dying on the Cross for us, cleansing us with His blood. Today He is risen, sitting on the right hand of our Heavenly Father and still interceding for us every moment for the wrong things which we do on a daily basis.

We know that the forgiveness of sins is never because of the good things we do. It is never through our own efforts of doing 'good' things like donating money to charity, volunteer work, or being 'nice' to people around us. It is only through believing in Jesus, His finished work for us on the Cross and the wonderful grace of our Heavenly Father.

Right now at this very moment, there are many living in the shackles of the world, living in the guilt of their past mistakes, living in low self esteem, everyday grudge and resentment of the future.

It's not difficult to observe this around us. But at times, I find it so difficult to get people out of these shackles, because they don't believe in the goodness of Christ. I once had much difficulty understanding what Christianity was about, because I didn't believe in the goodness of Christ. I didn't believe that there was such a wonderful man/God called Jesus Christ, who walked the earth 2000+ years ago, who was sinless, but yet for MY SAKE, suffered great humiliation, torture and went to the Cross to shed His blood for the forgiveness of MY sins. I didn't believe it could work this way.

I couldn't believe that I was forgiven by the Almighty Creator so easily, through the death of this one Being called Jesus. I couldn't believe that I was forgiven for all the mistakes in my life. And so I was trapped by these shackles, my guilt, my past. And I didn't have a true purpose in life. Life just consisted of working hard so that I can one day achieve fame, glory, power, have a nice family that everyone envies and that's it.

Until one day when I was enlightened by the Lord. And then I believed. And then I was freed from all those. Hallelujah! And then I knew what love is.

To me now, believing in Him is really a prerequisite to knowing how to love someone else. That includes our families, our friends, and even people whom we don't really know.

I stole the following conversational story from a friend's blog. I've got no idea where it originated from, but I felt this urge to share it with people when I read it, because it puts across very clearly what love and forgiveness involves.

Tech Support: Yes, Ma'am.... how can I help you?

Customer: Well, after much consideration, I've decided to install Love. Can you guide me though the process?

Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?

Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready. What do I do first?

Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located your Heart, ma'am?

Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now. Is it okay to install Love while they are running?

Tech Support: What programs are running, ma'am?

Customer: Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now.

Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory, but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off, ma'am?

Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

Tech Support : With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.

Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?

Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.

Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, "Error - Program not run on external components ." What should I do?

Tech Support: Don't worry, ma'am. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non- technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.

Customer: So, what should I do?

Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.

Customer: Okay, done.

Tech Support: Now, copy them to the "My Heart" directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.

Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?

Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.

Customer: Thank you, God.

Hope that on top of enjoying the story, you have gained a new perspective too.

Good night! =) God bless!

祷告


祷告因为我渺小 

祷告因为我知道我需要 

明瞭你心意对我重要 

祷告已假装不了 

祷告因为你的爱我需要 
  
你关怀   我走过的你都明白 


有些事我只想要对你说 
 
因你比任何人都爱我 
 
痛苦从眼中流下 

我知道你为我擦 

在早晨我也要来对你说 

主耶稣今天我为你活 

所需要的力量你天天赐给我 

你恩典够我用 

Because I know I need prayer, and because I know the Lord loves me no matter what, no matter what.

Victories.

Its been long and it looks like I have abandoned the blog. I can say, I was busy, but no, I am always online so how can it be right. More like lazy.. Sigh. 

And yes back to the topic on victories. It always bugs me how whenever there is sadness, sickness, desperateness, we plead, beg and sometimes even blame the Lord for whatever has happened. But whenever the problem tides over and we're happy, we tend to forget the him. 

Imagine if you helped someone, and after the thing is over the person doesn't even turn back to say thanks and forgets about you almost instantly. Even worse, he comes back the next time for help. 

But God is almighty what... he won't mind, he is GOD you know. But you know, we were made in the image of the Lord. But the difference is when he forgives you totally when you confess and still loves you no matter what happens. 

Lord help me to remember today to put you first in my life. 


Here's a song that always reminds me to thank and remember him in every situation. To praise him in the good times, to praise him in the bad times. 



The chorus was particularly meaningful so here is it.

In Christ alone I place my trust 
And find my glory in the power of the cross 
In every victory let it be said of me 
My source of strength, my source of hope Is Christ alone

to nowhere land

I know who holds tomorrow - Ira Stanphill
    I don't know about tomorrow,
    I just live from day to day.
    I don't borrow from it's sunshine,
    For it's skies may turn to gray.
    I don't worry o'er the future,
    For I know what Jesus said,
    And today I'll walk beside Him,
    For He knows what is ahead.

        Refrain
        Many things about tomorrow,
        I don't seem to understand;
        But I know Who holds tomorrow,
        And I know Who holds my hand.

    Ev'ry step is getting brighter,
    As the golden stairs I climb;
    Ev'ry burden's getting lighter;
    Ev'ry cloud is silver lined.
    There the sun is always shining,
    There no tear will dim the eyes,
    At the ending of the rainbow,
    Where the mountains touch the sky.

        Refrain
        Many things about tomorrow,
        I don't seem to understand;
        But I know Who holds tomorrow,
        And I know Who holds my hand.

    I don't know about tomorrow,
    It may bring me poverty;
    But the One Who feeds the sparrow,
    Is the One Who stands by me.
    And the path that be my portion,
    May be through the flame or flood,
    But His presence goes before me,
    And I'm covered with His blood.

        Refrain
        Many things about tomorrow,
        I don't seem to understand;
        But I know Who holds tomorrow,
        And I know Who holds my hand.

Unpredictable situation. A lot of things are messy. Sometimes i think i've taken too much on my plate. How could I finish 6 different dishes and not feel a sense of indigestion? Febuary comes, and goes. Probably the busiest month of all. I hope I come out stronger and better. The months ahead are tough. But hey, i only started living after 2006. 2007 was awsome, 2008 was a blast and 2009 is going to be even tougher and probably the toughest yet.  Maybe I'll look back one day and say, hey it wasn't that bad after all. 

I don't know what lies ahead, but I know God is with me. 

I don't really know what to say anymore.
