Blessed my socks off!

Admittedly I was in a bawt of depression in the past few days..and there was growing contempt for certain people. Very inrightous of me and I felt Satan pointing his little finger at me, calling me names by my ear...

Anyway yesterday, I was to go for the Music Ministry Meeting in the evening...before going, I spoke to God in my heart of how much I needed to clear my negative mood...

And during the meeting, He did just that.

1 of the senior lead worshippers led the entire youth, adult and chinese choir in worshipping and it was powerful. Just without singing...we were soaked in God's love...Just basking in it..I could have been very content..standing in the congregation,,smiling to God.

Pastor spoke about the gift of the Holy Spirit and how speaking in tongues isnt just jibberish (as I had thought years years ago) but God's most impt gift to us. It was his 1st gift to us when the Holy Spirit swept over the  apostles and those who were int he upper room...worshipping and waiting for Him.
And the 1st gift was the most impt.

How impt?
Well..when God gave Moses the 10 Commandments...2k were punished for worshipping Baal..The commandements was the 1st Pentecost. the time God gave the Holy Spirit..it was also Pentecost..only this time...2K people were saved. Nothing is a coincidence and so it is relevent tht such a parallel is considered.
The 1st was law while the latter is grace. Truth and grace came by Jesus Christ and we as christians are no longer ruled by Law but by Grace. :)
That hit me on how impt speaking in tongues is.

Note: its not a MUST DO thing....Speaking in tongues isnt a rule. its a gift right. So gift is different from rules..you can choose to use it or not..BUT if someone gives you a precious gift..wouldnt you want to use it? As opposed to just putting it in the corner?

And as Paul in the bible says...we who are mere humans and having our won flaws, dnt know how to pary the right things from God. If so, then the best person to help us ask is the Holy Spirit in us right. And if the Holy Spirit in us asks on our behalf, the best way is to speak in a language that best communicates wht we truly need. Tongues. So yes we wont know what we're uttering but in faith..we believe that the Holy Spirit knows what we need the most and is conveying that same msg to God.
And who knows! a mere few seconds of speaking in tongues could be a request for many things at once..as opposed to our limited english words..
And we all have soo many people we want to pray for...even for people far from us whom we care for. They mght be going through a situation that we are not informed of at that moment...and as humans..we cant save/help something if we dont know about it right. Only God sees it.
With tongues...the Holy Spirit will help us pray for those we care for..those whom we know /dont know that needs our prayer. How complete a prayer!!! :D

And Eph 5: 15 says that we be not fools and act wisely to redeem time...because days are evil (labourous/stessful)
How do we redeem time? by keeping God's laws in our mouth.
Which could be puzzling because Ephesians is a new testemant time..God who said that we are no longer ruled by law could not be indicating that we go back to the rules again...and looking at the parallel that what replaces the law..is the tongues that we speak from our mouths..it would beheath us to think that God's law  mentioned here is now the same tongues he gave us during the Pentecost.

And that would imply that by speaking in tongues..we would be able to redeem time.

Dnt be mistaken..its not a physical going back in time..we dnt time travel..but nothing would stop God from doing that for us. After all, our entire mankind "timeframe" is infront of him. The entire stretch! He seens everything in 1 glance! He sees your lifestory in 1 page!
And He can help you change/redeem time. No butterfly effect involved because He is greater than time and Satan..
It doesnt mean that you would end up with your ex bf/gf again..or your grandma wouldnt die etc...but it means that the repercussions of the incident would be different. Your wounds would heal...your relationship between those you used to hate would be less negative adn who knows...that relatonship would turn for the better...your family relationship will turn from bitter to sweet.
Wow! I believe that God will do that for my family! I saw an image of my family being covered by a big tent...God's protection over us! His healing our hearts and health and bond. Amen!
I pray hte same for my clubs and all those Im connected to. A HUGE cover!!! :D

And the biggest point in all this..for this revelation to work for us...is to know how much God loves us. :)

If we as humans can give our children good things...what more our heavenly father in heaven? He wont spoil us of course....but he will provide for us if we ask in faith.
Eg: We who know that our father has no money..wouldnt be heartless enough to ask him to buy an iphone for us..but if we asked him to bring us to the park...he would do it wholeheartedly.
If we know God and His will, we will know whats right or wrong to ask for.

ANd whats his will?
He has riches galore and would willingly provide us with riches and good health unless it was harmful for us. What would God not want us to be? Simple! A people who did not glorify him..a people who didnt love Him..who abused the gifts He gives us. Who worship the gifts He gives us instead of Him!
And so if we can keep our hearts steady...to not see money/work/health selfishly and abuse them..Wouldnt God provide?
It sounds vague but its not that hard to understand. Think from a human perspective.our human definition of love is a shadow of His magnitude of love!
And if you think about it..Jesus who claimed htat He did everything His Father asked Him to do...didnt reject anyone from receiving health! Eveyrone who came to Him and believed in His healing..got healed! Jesus didnt push anyone away and say: God says you cant be healed until you learnt your lesson or until you came back to God.

By doing so, it would deter more people from following Him again. He healed them (those who thought he could heal) and those who were healed..believed in Him and followed Him, praised His name and in turn believed God. They received the blessings and then repented..then fully believed.
Im sure there were some who only went to find Him coz they thought He could heal....thats all..some might not have believed He was the Messiah but only went over for His healing powers! Or some had doubts before asking as well but gave it a try.Some didnt even ask for healing and they got it!
So unfair if you think about it! But our God is generous and loves us all. Remember the lame man at the pool of Bethesda? The blind man at the pool of Shiloam? They didnt ask for healing! In fact, the lame guy trusted in his own works or others works..waiting for people to put him into the pool to get healing. WHEN JESUS WAS THERE!!! Why not get people to bring him to JEsus instead or waiting at a pool?!?!?!

I had the intention of blogging other revelations I received through the day but couldnt remember them..sigh.

Yesterday...I sorta missed the wed bible study :D It gave me a peace to strengthen me for hte next half of the week. Oh Well!

Today was a good day. :)

Thanks Daddy God! Thanks Abba!!!

God Bless
