Are bad things really bad?

I’m so glad and so encouraged!

I know I’ve not had a very good start of the year but I am glad that God have allowed me to go through that patch in life where I have my “valley bottom” experiences. It’s there that I begin to find myself, re-evaluate myself and look onto God once again.

Please do not have that idea that I’m crazy or I have gone out of my mind. I’m honestly saying this from the very bottom of my heart.

In the beginning of the year, I feel rather lost and I did not know what to do. However, God knows what I am going to go through and it’s like a time of strengthening and training. It’s just like the Master Potter molding and shaping me up. Trashing away those “impurities” which are never healthy for me and making me a pure “vessel”, FIT for His Kingdom!


FIT = Faith In Trial… Wow… This just came to my mind! Haha… What a way to say it… FIT (Faith In Trial), for His Kingdom!

Anyway, that aside… It’s been tough going through this “molding” period. I know it’s a time for refreshing but I am not there yet. This is not even the beginning! I am only in the midst of building what I did not cherish in the past.

This time, I really hope and pray that I’d never let Him down anymore. I cannot and I can’t afford to. I really need the conviction of His Holy Spirit upon me to lead me and guide my path.

I’ve been encouraged further since my last entry. This was because after hearing and seeing what a man Rev. Casey Treat is, I’m really drawing myself more and more nearer to God.

PERSONAL CHALLENGE
It’s been sometime since I last fasted. I tell you, it’s the most difficult times in life when one fast. Jesus fasted for 40 days but was tested when He was going through the fast. Even when after the fast, He was tempted by demonic spirits too.

Nevertheless, God is really awesome! When I seek Him, initially, I felt rather drowsy and sleepy. That went on for the first 2 nights. What’s more, I’ve felt more sleepy than normal. It’s so demoralizing. However God IS GOOD!!!

I chose to press on and keep praying. I’ve yielded something in return. Am glad to be able to seek Him for at least 60mins a day and even more! Woo hoo!!! I’m really excited and happy!!!

Fasting, praying, MIXED with offering and tithing is really a very powerful tool God has given to men. I am believing for something great and mighty to happen in my life! I do not know what it is BUT I know it’s going to OPEN UP the flood gates of Heaven over my life!

I’m so excited. I want to keep burning with that passion to serve God once again. I want to keep that zeal within me, to seek His face and His Presence everyday!!!

HOLD ON TOGETHER
Intro: D-F#m-G-A7 (2x)
Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope & glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away

Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll byFor you and I

When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I
