We can save this world... with Christ's leadership (Ephesians 5)...
I was called to watch the Michael Jackson “This Is It” movie this week and God gave me a message through that as well...
However, I can't give all the details yet as that might cause a spiritual revision to happen again, at the very least it would ruin all the fun.... :P
But suffice to say, at the end of the film, I got the answer or confirmation to some of the questions that have been weighing on my mind...
So getting there, at the end of the film there is a picture of Michael with three sentences completing the tribute to him:
Michael Jackson...
KING OF POP
Love Lives Forever
Whoever might have read the entries before the spiritual revision might know what I'm “getting at” here, but let's just say at the end of the movie they had the following three songs in this order...
*1* This is it...
*2* Billie Jean
*3* Man in the mirror
I need to explain the context of “This is it...” a little for those who haven't watch the film and won't get it at all without it. It's an original song never heard yet that MJ wanted to put in his new show... We know (8) ... you're looking down on us from heaven... (8). There is a a film clip they made with an infant girl enjoying herself in the forest and cutting to other wonders of nature and God's creation (Romans 1:20) and the narration by Michael states how much he loves the earth and he feels for it and it is dying and he really wishes we can DO SOMETHING about that...Also at the end when he dedicates the show with his staff, he also GOD blesses them and says that “we need to bring love out into the world...”
“We can save this world... with the right leadership...” -Watchmen (Ezekiel 33)
Michael then also goes on to add that we have to start with ourselves, that we can't keep on thinking the government or other organizations will go on to doing it for us... “...up to us now...”
At the end when he did Man in the Mirror it made me cry... I know it's up to me and you now...
“Nothing in the world is the way it ought to be; It's harsh, it's cruel. That's why there's us *Christians* It doesn't matter where we come from, what we've done or suffered, or even if we can make a difference. We live as though the world is as it should be, to show it what it can be.” - Angel
P.S. Prince Kaspian still needs his “help” ;)

5And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.
6And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.
7And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.
8And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.

PerhapS you need some motivation...
Ephesians 4:26
"In your anger do not sin" : Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
Dearest friends, you were always so careful to follow my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away you must be even more careful to put into action God's saving work in your lives, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is [Romans 8:28], giving you the desire to obey him and the power to do what pleases him.
PHILIPPIANS 2:12-13
God's purpose for our life is to make us like Christ. To do this, the Holy Spirit works in us, changing our desires and giving us the power to do what God wants. But God doesn't force us to obey him. He leaves that choice up to us. ["The problem IS..."] What has God told you to do? Do it. As you obey God in small matters, he will trust you with larger ones. [Notes are adapted from the Life Application Bible, copyright 1988 Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.]
4 "Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame.
Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated.
You will forget the shame of your youth
and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
5 For your Maker is your husband—
the LORD Almighty is his name—
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
he is called the God of all the earth.
6 The LORD will call you back
as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit—
a wife who married young,
only to be rejected," says your God.
[Isaiah]
Dearest, I know what it's like to "worry" as well. But dun worry, "you know...like Matthew 6..." (it's not THE ONLY passage that says not to worry) you don't need to even lift your non-fractured finger to keep me "tied" down. The other day before fellowship, I went on a 6+Km prayer walk to pray not only for the fellowship but for myself. One of the songs I decided to sing that day was... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkNooh1lFaU
Turns out when I was at Destinys' that night with SO MANY answered prayers, I did manage to catch a song playing in the background, maybe cause we were sitting in a bad spot or being noisy, who knows, but it was THE ONLY song I heard played there that evening. "Forever and ever..." Even this is nothing compared to other things I've seen Him do to show me His way...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9t0fxyt_3E&feature=related
My whole life, those who didn't want advice on relationships from someone whose "well read" in the topic always wanted me to "lead by example". Well AGAPE is "like the wind..." you can't see it, but He knows it's there... They say that marriage is supposed to be a representation of God's AGAPE "Here on Earth"... well if I am already able to bring people to Christ via my love for you... let's make the wedding into something really God glorifying :)
16 We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. 17 And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.
18 Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.

Blowin' In The Wind lyrics
How many roads most a man walk down
Before you call him a man ?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand ?
Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Yes, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea ?
Yes, how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free ?
Yes, how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Yes, how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky ?
Yes, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry ?
Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

"My back... my back..."
That wasn't the original link I wanted to use to help facilitate the meaning behind this post, but as the Archie comic once (kinda put it about a different desire)... "Can't give link you want... WANT link you have..." In the start of the evening, all of a sudden my back started to hurt and I thought to myself, my younger biological brother barely touched me and then it stopped and I realized that's not the reason why I can't sleep... "I can't take it..." Reminds me of that time of my once of a lifetime experience of Easter service, when people were "listening to Podcast"... someone told me "I dunno, I see a red line..." and a good buddy of mine who has the spare keys to my "faith-mobile" all of a sudden had back pains... LOL "congratulations"? Buddy, you are the one who just got married to Jesus that Sunday and before that Easter too, I should be CONGRATULATING YOU! :)
The post date was supposed to be Monday, but I was busy with school work. Besides, I'm likely gonna to just joint down the details of the event so I don't forget it and finish this entry at a later date anyhow. Anyhow, interestingly enough... I experienced a "follow-up" or as some might wanna call "balance" instead to one of my previous blog entries. At first (to my shame), I was afraid to admit that when I heard the "audible voice of God" it sounded like a female because LOL we "all know"... God's NOT female right? ROFL... that's another "can of (Lutheran) Worms" I rather not open at the moment. But the point is, it makes sense in light of what happened today.
Today I got a little lost trying to make my way to my friends' office to carpool with him to class, so I ended up doing what one might call a "detour traffic and construction FAIL"... I never thought I could get lost in my home town, but I guess most of my driving and riding nowadays has been relocated and so are my navigation skills? But what about my GIFT of long term memory? Well I did know the route, but for some reason I just ended up lost anyhow... so lo and behold when I finally got there, my other friend was also there waiting so I had the opportunity to chat with her a little bit. Then later decided I should "get reading" as I got a lot of work to catch up on ever since recovery from my illness. So AS SOON AS I STARTED reading... WHOA... they were playing that Taylor Swift song... YES... THAT ONE... O M _ right...I mean... this is a doctor's office waiting room here... kinda out of place too LOL, albeit it's a "chinese" office so they are probably just using a radio and not a CD player maybe, but still why do this to me Lord?!?! WAIT it gets even more 2 Corinthians 5:13... cause like not too long after, I all of a sudden heard my name called repeatedly this time... LOL I guess you could say that saying "speak Lord, your servant is listening" did not quite put a stop and more direct response to it this time, but required more interpretation and for me to recall also the first time this sequence of events happened. Apparently it's someone named "__l___" apparently this time, wasn't 100% sure, the "secretary" or "receptionist" might have just been saying my name first and then the other one because nobody responded. It was strange the name was repeated so many times though... didn't count how many. Yes, you got it, this time it makes more sense that the "receptionist" WAS FEMALE as most typically are... I've even heard (again "for shame") that they hardly hire males for these roles. So you could say the sequence of events made a near perfect match, except this time I was in a WAITING room instead of a BANQUET and there was less DISTORTION... didn't hear the lyric as "TEAM CAPTAIN" this time, just the song was going on and I wasn't really try to pay attention to any of the noises there anyhow... Come to think of it, since the office was closing soon, I don't recall hearing any more songs that day, maybe also cause the desk thought the person they were calling couldn't hear over the music too perhaps, who knows...
1 Corinthians 15:18 (New International Version)
Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.
:P..... :P!!!
I looked up the song on Youtube and this time, I noticed something I had not noticed before, the name of the album it's on... "I'm just as scared as you _ _ _ _ _"... I thought to myself, perhaps these pauses in the lagtube are part of giving me the opportunity to have breaks to finish this entry perhaps. No more holds bars anymore when I can't sleep... all K breaKs loose... I refuse to give in... I know Satan's voice is out there telling me to give up, it's never gonna to work... but on the other hand I know my "saviour lives" and I refuse to live and sleep a sinner! Satan tells me "it's already been brought" but I say "I've already been brought!" (1 Corinthians 6:20)
At first I was debating whether I should put my own interpretation down in words... "like you know..." "" And I'm not here to try to make you "worry"... I guess it's like I have been thinking all week, regardless of what happens and how much you might hate me, Jesus needs you to know, that until He changes His mind... "So here I AM, standing in your doorway... I've always been standing on your doorway..."
I haven't posted my STARDATE entry yet, because I believe that story hasn't come to an end yet... "I know you think we can't be together. But can't you respect me enough to let me make my own decision? I know there'll be _ _ _ _ _. But I want to face them with you. It's wrong that we should only be half-alive... ...half of ourselves." All I knows is, and I don't care if She never feels the same way... All I knows is, to give up on A G A P E... all I end up doing is going back to the man I was... yes that's right folks... it's not "pretty" as they say...

Yes, that's right, AnaSIN SkystalKer... you know "the dark side"... it's ironic to think that yes it's true, the same man who people are very happy to be their softball captain once had a "darker" past and was REJECTED from even captaining in the first place. I don't want to go back there so if the saying is true. "Damned if I do... Damned if I don't..." then I choose to "don't" sin... Esther 4:16

As another Mr. Lau (hint, he's famous :P) once put it "_ _ _ _ _ isn't finding someone
you can live with... it's finding that person you can't live without..." Sometimes I wonder if maybe when I can't sleep should I try to take in large amounts of food to try to make me get a "food coma" haha, is this what they call "A G A P E on a diet"? "Like you know... MOVING ON"? :/
If I really can't sleep, I'm just going to try to get an early start, perhaps even finish to my assignment LOL... boy is that why I can't sleep? Then Luke 5:8, He is our father! :)

Baby I know your hurting
Right now you feel like you could never love again
Now all I ask is for a chance
To prove that I love you
From the first day
That I saw your smiling face
_ _ _ _ _, I knew that we would be together forever
Ooh when I asked you out
You said no but He'd found out
Darling that you'd been hurt
You felt that you'd never love again
I deserve a try _ _ _ _ _ just once
Give me a chance and I'll prove this all wrong
You walked in you were so quick to judge
But _ _ _ _ _ he's nothing like me
Chorus
I'll never break your heart
I'll never make you cry
I'd rather die than live without you
I'll give you all of me
_ _ _ _ _ that's no lie (2x)
As time goes by you
Will get to know me
A little more better
Girl that's the way love goes
And I know you're afraid
To let you're feelings show
And I understand
But girl it's time to let go
I deserve a try _ _ _ _ _
Just once
Give me a chance and I'll prove this all wrong
You walked in you were so quick to judge
But _ _ _ _ _ he's nothing like me
Darling why can't you see
Chorus (2x)
Bridge
No way, no how
I'll make you cry (2x)
Chorus

Maybe when "hell freezes over" would I leave the term Girl-A-NOT-*A*-GOOD Girl for you's pet name for her husband in there...
Seems only right to end it with a song that probably was written around the same time I've been "praying for a wife...and..." *cough cough* "sit on your (my) ass..."
The post date was supposed to be Monday, but I was busy with school work. Besides, I'm likely gonna to just joint down the details of the event so I don't forget it and finish this entry at a later date anyhow. Anyhow, interestingly enough... I experienced a "follow-up" or as some might wanna call "balance" instead to one of my previous blog entries. At first (to my shame), I was afraid to admit that when I heard the "audible voice of God" it sounded like a female because LOL we "all know"... God's NOT female right? ROFL... that's another "can of (Lutheran) Worms" I rather not open at the moment. But the point is, it makes sense in light of what happened today.
Today I got a little lost trying to make my way to my friends' office to carpool with him to class, so I ended up doing what one might call a "detour traffic and construction FAIL"... I never thought I could get lost in my home town, but I guess most of my driving and riding nowadays has been relocated and so are my navigation skills? But what about my GIFT of long term memory? Well I did know the route, but for some reason I just ended up lost anyhow... so lo and behold when I finally got there, my other friend was also there waiting so I had the opportunity to chat with her a little bit. Then later decided I should "get reading" as I got a lot of work to catch up on ever since recovery from my illness. So AS SOON AS I STARTED reading... WHOA... they were playing that Taylor Swift song... YES... THAT ONE... O M _ right...I mean... this is a doctor's office waiting room here... kinda out of place too LOL, albeit it's a "chinese" office so they are probably just using a radio and not a CD player maybe, but still why do this to me Lord?!?! WAIT it gets even more 2 Corinthians 5:13... cause like not too long after, I all of a sudden heard my name called repeatedly this time... LOL I guess you could say that saying "speak Lord, your servant is listening" did not quite put a stop and more direct response to it this time, but required more interpretation and for me to recall also the first time this sequence of events happened. Apparently it's someone named "__l___" apparently this time, wasn't 100% sure, the "secretary" or "receptionist" might have just been saying my name first and then the other one because nobody responded. It was strange the name was repeated so many times though... didn't count how many. Yes, you got it, this time it makes more sense that the "receptionist" WAS FEMALE as most typically are... I've even heard (again "for shame") that they hardly hire males for these roles. So you could say the sequence of events made a near perfect match, except this time I was in a WAITING room instead of a BANQUET and there was less DISTORTION... didn't hear the lyric as "TEAM CAPTAIN" this time, just the song was going on and I wasn't really try to pay attention to any of the noises there anyhow... Come to think of it, since the office was closing soon, I don't recall hearing any more songs that day, maybe also cause the desk thought the person they were calling couldn't hear over the music too perhaps, who knows...
1 Corinthians 15:18 (New International Version)
Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.
:P..... :P!!!
I looked up the song on Youtube and this time, I noticed something I had not noticed before, the name of the album it's on... "I'm just as scared as you _ _ _ _ _"... I thought to myself, perhaps these pauses in the lagtube are part of giving me the opportunity to have breaks to finish this entry perhaps. No more holds bars anymore when I can't sleep... all K breaKs loose... I refuse to give in... I know Satan's voice is out there telling me to give up, it's never gonna to work... but on the other hand I know my "saviour lives" and I refuse to live and sleep a sinner! Satan tells me "it's already been brought" but I say "I've already been brought!" (1 Corinthians 6:20)
At first I was debating whether I should put my own interpretation down in words... "like you know..." "" And I'm not here to try to make you "worry"... I guess it's like I have been thinking all week, regardless of what happens and how much you might hate me, Jesus needs you to know, that until He changes His mind... "So here I AM, standing in your doorway... I've always been standing on your doorway..."
I haven't posted my STARDATE entry yet, because I believe that story hasn't come to an end yet... "I know you think we can't be together. But can't you respect me enough to let me make my own decision? I know there'll be _ _ _ _ _. But I want to face them with you. It's wrong that we should only be half-alive... ...half of ourselves." All I knows is, and I don't care if She never feels the same way... All I knows is, to give up on A G A P E... all I end up doing is going back to the man I was... yes that's right folks... it's not "pretty" as they say... As those who've watched the *3*rd installment of the Spiderman series know... The couple-phobic insomniac (that kinda is already happening)... Mr. "world does not revolve around you" when people don't understand why it is I can't stand couples if you recall some of my older entries...

O M _
A long time ago, A Friend of mine told me not to use the expression OMG... For the most part, I agree, but I think there are some times when it is acceptable; as long as you don't violate Exodus 20:7 or any of its other cross-references. I've experienced God so much in the last few days I know I'm not alone, I just hope it's going to be enough to overcome my couple-phobia again so that I can continue enjoying Life Together. ;)
Another friend of mine was once concerned that I had NO BALANCE to my 'intuitions' (or I like to call them "spiritual sense"s) about God and it's funny I have to bring it up, but HAHA, now I know what it means, the painful way. It's interesting that for the last week and a half almost I've been wondering why my seminary still didn't cash my tuition's check yet and I was beginning to hope (not 'sense') that maybe God was playing around with my bank account to provide for me. No such 'luck' though, the other day I had to get some cash from the ATM and discovered my checking account is almost empty now, in other words I have NO BALANCE, ROFL...
But I praise God He has been trying to show me so much lately that I'm often in awe as to how much He's been willing to do to try to speak to me, which might explain why He brought me to read Numbers 22 during the summer retreat on Sunday morning when I couldn't sleep due to my finger pains. It was then that God gave me a revelation about those pains too, a follow-up if you will to when I prayed to God and felt He was telling me to go through with my surgery. "WHAT do I have to DO??????" to prove to You I'm there it was like He was saying to me... All summer long, even in class and etc... I just kept taking pain-killer after pain-killer, prescribed and non-prescribed and I was TOLD (by my surgeon) that would take care of the pain. But hardly (if at all)! I kept thinking to myself, what is the point if it seems they are doing nothing for me other than stirring up my already usually sensitive stomach even more. I realized then and there and especially after someone from my youth fellowship PRAYED for me that it wouldn't hurt during my MCBCSL tournament (and it didn't hurt one bit that day), that GOD WAS IN CONTROL of that pain, just like the line my prof used in class the other day. And now it no longer hurts, expect a little at times when God needs to confirm to me that the voice I'm hearing is IN FACT His and all along, I've never been forsaken (Romans 8:34-35). As Russell Peters would put it, "BALANCE..."
Another friend of mine once told me that maybe I was seeing things that weren't there and maybe it was simply confirming my own desires anyhow so I THOUGHT they were from God. But as the saying goes "nothing can be further from the truth". I'm not ruling out that God won't sometimes put things in our path to confirm what He wants or what we want is also what He wants (which is fine also). But in the particular incident he's thinking about, I've been trying so hard consciously not to want things that way for the longest time, but God's been "stepping it up a notch" to remind me where His true calling lies and remind His children that he REALLY IS IN CONTROL. Like what He did for Jonah when he refused to go to Nineveh or other examples. It's funny, cause just this morning I was concerned that the seminary was going to charge me a late fee because last time when I had to be at school to use the resources of the library and there was no ink left in the printer, I couldn't get in my registration for my course in on time also because my re-application came in late. However, since I had over-payed my late fee from the winter term registration last year, I still had $10 left in the account as credit, so turns out I was fine when I called back they told me it was probably just to tell me I still have $2* ("two dollars") left in my account as credit. God has used much less natural ways to try to speak to me as well, but it is that example and the dream I had this morning which are more recent; but I feel are also to remind me of the other times when He did move his "mighty hand and outstretched arm" as my prof likes to term it in her lectures.
Reminds me also of the time I haven't wrote about yet that follows-up to when my seminary friend PN told me that God speaks to him in an "audible" voice even sometimes and that actually happened to me at the banquet when I was in the middle of having a conversation with a crowd and all of a sudden I heard my name spoken to me in an audible voice and I turned around to confirm it couldn't have come from anybody else. My friend later asked if I said "here I am" and it's funny cause I was just thinking about that example from 1 Samuel 3 too when I was at the banquet and "the voice" came and I feel ashamed that God had to follow up my "Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening." with "Do I ALWAYS have to speak to you audibly?". It's interesting that during the prayer meeting that Friday, PF said the same thing about how God doesn't always have to speak to us audibly (John 16:13-15).
In conclusion (so you won't have to say "I dunno where you're going with this" :P and I can practice for my other papers), I am simply trying to point out a fact that should be apparently to you, especially those who are already Christian, I sincerely hope you know what I mean! It is sad that God had to go through so much to remind me I need to trust Him and I apologize to Him that perhaps I haven't always been the faithful servant He wants me to become. Sometimes I wonder why people get so excited to know I'm in seminary now. To be honest, I really don't feel there's anything everyday Christians need to be envious about when it comes to us called to full-time ministry. Both you (non-called-to-full-time-ministers) and I both have the spirit of God and the responsibility to share God's love to other Christians and non-Christians alike, the difference is one word "burden". That's why we do what we do, amidst the extra difficulties and trials that "come with His job". I don't want you to think less of us by me saying this, but we do it because we HAVE to as much as because we WANT to; regardless of how we feel, He always calls us to serve and love nonetheless.
The other point I really want to "hit home" with is that we simply need to apply passages like Romans 1, Romans 8, and simply listen to our master more. Kind of like the ending of the movie "The Ladies Man" when he tells all those husbands with unsatisfied wives "Fellas, you just gotta learn to listen to your ladies..."; "Christians you just gotta learn to listen to your LORD-ies" "Lord-ies" as in the holy trinity, 3 in 1 God, not to imply a more relative or "post-modern" theology. Listening to God isn't always easy at first, but like any of your other friendships, it typically improves over time. God is omnipresent and constantly not only reaching out His hands, but His voice, His love and His fellowship is "out there, available for the taking". Jesus is on "your doorway... " he's "...always been on your doorway..." (Rev. 3:20-22).
Kutless - Perspectives Lyrics
It feels like your life's crashing down all around you
Let me ask if it's really so bad
Look at the world in it's suffering
Can you honestly tell me that know one else could understand
All the hurting inside
Why can't you see that freedom is sometimes simply another perspective away
Who could you be if your lens was changed for a moment,
Would you still be the same
A young child looks through a great stained glass window
Watching the people go by
Everyone seems to be wearing a red coat
His mother sees jackets in white
Now he can't understand why does she see it this way
Why can't you see that freedom is sometimes simply another perspective away
Who could you be if your lens was changed for a moment,
Would you still be the same
Yesterday, you really couldn't see
By changing your angle a new world would be
Revealed to your once blinded eyes by moving a few degrees
Why can't you see that freedom is sometimes simply another perspective away
Who could you be if your lens was changed for a moment,
Would you still be the same

The issue is when we don't listen, whether due to doubt, stubbornness or just plain old "lack of faith"...
When they refused to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil minds and let them do things that should never be done. Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They are forever inventing new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. They refuse to understand, break their promises, and are heartless and unforgiving.

marshmallowclouds...
18 But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who push the truth away from themselves. 19 For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. 20 From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.
It turns out that a scientist can see the future by watching four-year-olds interact with a marshmallow. The researcher invites the children, one by one, into a plain room and begins the gentle torment. "You can have this marshmallow right now," he says.
Some children grab the treat the minute he's out the door. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait. They cover their eyes; they put their heads down; they sing to themselves; they try to play games or even fall asleep. When the researcher returns, he gives these children their hard-earned marshmallows. And then, science waits for them to grow up.

"What have I done?" -Joan of Arc...
SARAH'S WOMB IS CLOSED...
Genesis 22
Abraham Tested
1 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!"
"Here I am," he replied.
2 Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you."
3 Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. 4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. 5 He said to his servants, "Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you."
6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, 7 Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, "Father?"
"Yes, my son?" Abraham replied.
"The fire and wood are here," Isaac said, "but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" [Genesis 22:1-7]
Luke 11:10-12 (New International Version)
10For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
11"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[a] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
"...What am I supposed to do?" -PP

Abraham Tested
1 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!"
"Here I am," he replied.
2 Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you."
3 Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. 4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. 5 He said to his servants, "Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you."

God has been really unusual this summer and there have been many turning points where I have witnessed his "mighty hand and outstretched arm" -OT... And I know I'm NOT crazy, because my other friends at seminary and otherwise also saw that orange tinted full moon and our new brother in Christ also saw that e-mail disappear from my Sent folder, which BTW, it came back when I got home eh... God was just trying to show you something my Friend :) The most interesting one I experienced though would have to be on 05/01/2009 when we had no fellowship that night and I was able to go to the praise night of my softball league and I experience a visual spiritual-distortion of the magnitude of Acts 9 and that night God also sent a guest speaker who just told the story of MY life up there on the altar; the theme that night also was very Purpose Driven Life Day 1 as well...
At the conclusion of the season, when I was at the closing banquet, there was also this one part during the side show where there was this one song by Taylor Swift I had never heard before so I didn't realize at first that "TEAM CAPTAIN and I'm on the bleachers" was the wrong lyric and perhaps another audio distortion. Reminds me of that time when I my friend got really upset that I thought she was telling me seminary is "bridle-college" because that's honestly what I heard though. I also heard the voice of God call my name that very same night so I know it's not a coincidence... Anyhow later on, *3* of the brothers in Christ on my team beside me started singing it, I also asked my co-captain JT, to "sing it", but she refused. So it was just those *3* guys...Being inspired by that, I've decided to write a more "Christian-Friendly" edition of the song as you know I often do...
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that He said
'Cause she doesn't get your humour like I do...
He's in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
Listening to the music Satan doesn't like
And He'll know your story like I do...
But she has short flirts, Jesus T-shirts
That TEAM CAPTAIN sitting on the bleachers
Dreaming of the day when You wake up and find...
That what He's looking for has been there the whole time
If you could see that He's the one who understands us
Been there all along... so what can't you see...?
We..., we belong with Thee, we belong with Thee...
Walking the parks with you and your worn-out teams
I can't help thinking this is how He ought to see
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this J...C...?
And She's got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since He brought it down
You say you're fine, But He knows better than that
Hey, whatcha doing with no girl like that?
She likes high feels, I wear sneakers
That TEAM CAPTAIN sitting on the bleachers
Dreaming of the day when You wake up and find...
That what He's looking for has been there the whole time
If you could see that He's the one who understands us
Been there all along... so what can't you see...?
We..., we belong with Thee, we belong with Thee...
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know?
_____, you belong with me..., you belong with me...
Oh, I remember me driving to her house in the middle of the night (to drop off THE FULL-PACKAGE)
He's the one who makes me laugh when He knows I'm about to cry
And we know His favourite songs and You tell me 'bout your dreams
Lord He knows where you belong, Lord I know it's with me
If you could see that He's the one who understands us
Been there all along... so what can't you see...?
We..., we belong with Thee, we belong with Thee...
You belong with Thee...
Have you ever thought just _____
You belong with Thee?
You belong with Thee.....
Hehe, reminds me also of last week when we went out to celebrate a DELAYED AY's B-day and we also watched a "Christian-Friendly" version of something...
(8) These are the days of Elijah... (8)
My softball season this year was off to a start of pretty much undefeated-ness and a determined team who was initially very committed to coming to not one, but two practices a week. But then God intervened and we were down some very key players during the tournament and lost by 1 run to the team that won the tournament in quarter finals, man, reminds me of when Dunamis also lost by 1 to Canaan... "It hurts... doesn't it? You can't BELIEVE what fell..." But eventually I got OFF the bleachers during the "bottom of the ninth... bases loaded..." and finally won me that tournament after all...

Forgive me Lord...
OWWW... it hurts... it stopped hurting for almost 8 weeks now, but my "swan-neck deformity" finger is acting up again this morning and I'm forced out of bed... IT'S ALL MY FAULT...
I've stopped the pain killers, because God made a very loud and clear revelation to me during church summer retreat "What do I have to do to show you My way?"... Let's put it this way "My swan-sense is tingling..."
Plus with that FLEECE (Judges 6:11-40) I put out Monday morning while working on my paper, asking God to HOLD BACK ALL DROPS OF RAIN... and then later in class, my prof used THE LINE...
"God is in control..." like my friend ST always tells me whenever I need a reminder about His grace to me when it comes to "swan-neck" matters...
Alright, forgive me Lord, I'll HANDLE WITH CARE...
