I took a nap during the afternoon, while I was sleeping I had a dream. In my dream, I was looking from my napping position and I saw this white translucent wave/ripple like thing creeping up onto my body from my toes.
The moment it try to rest on top of my body I yelled at it,"In Jesus name!" and it disappeared.
At that moment, all the noisy thoughts that was disturbing me from my sleep stopped and there was peace.

I am a lion!
Haha it's so funny.... I received 2 prophecies today.
The first one... is my breakthrough will come soon and this breakthrough will be beyond whatever my mind is able to comprehend... And God will open up heavens for me I will walk in another level of anointing... He will raise me up as a mighty warrior for Him! RawR! WOW!
I will fight for you Lord for You have placed this fierceness in me for Your purpose... I will draw my sword and battle because of Your eternal love, and it is indeed Your heartbeat so that more will know You.
And before that during the prayer meeting, Sharmaine gave me this card. It states: An atmosphere of open heavens. No spiritual hindrances. Where there's a distinct grace and presence of God. A life-changing environment so attractive that people can't wait to go and hate to leave!
How long has my heart been longing for that.. to capture the presence of God and bring it to the people!
I'm so excited! It's like a whole new beginning for me... walking side by side with my Father and my King!
The next prophecy is when I sat on the blue chair then Pastor Timonthy said,"Don't look at her skinny frame... She's a lion!" *Pops the lion of Judah flag on my face* lol.. it was so comical... Don't you think God has an awesome sense of humour?
And also.... I thank God for showing me who my other half is... God is really good... everything on my prayer list all fulfilled... Now my entire household will worship and praise the Lord! What a blessing!
Lastly, Ivan received too! Gosh he's got a really sensitive spirit... hahaha same as me... I'm really really excited to see what God is doing in his life.. because I know and I believe he's called to do something great...
Lord, I lift up Ivan into your hands. I pray that You will wash away all his pains and past... Wash him and he will be as white as snow. A brand new start. A brand new covenant relationship with You. Lord I ask of you to ignite this passion in Ivan... Ignite his desire and deepen his love for you Lord... Draw him closer into your arms... and guide him like a lamp unto his feet... Reveal to him his purpose in You for You have picked him Lord. Many are called but few are chosen. And Lord I pray that You will grant me a vision of his purpose if You are willing. I pray that Ivan's heart will be like a huge wildfire combusting with passion and desire for you! How beautiful and lovely is this sacrifice pleasing to your eyes! This heart I pray O Lord, you will instill in Him and that You will also grant him a willing and obedient spirit. And I pray Lord that Ivan will be blessed with Abrahamic blessing... Let his barnyard be filled to the brim Lord for you found him joyous in your sight... Bless him Lord and I bind any spirit of disturbances in his life and I bind all of the enemy's work in his life. I pray that you will cover us and our close ones with the blood of Christ and I renounce any ungodly soul ties. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen!
Dedicating this song specially to God... God of my forever.

Dedicating this song specially to God... God of my forever.
God of my youth I remember, Your call on my life took me o’er
Your love has seen me through all my days, I stand here by Your grace
On this altar I’ve written my life, tells of the story I have with You my Lord
I want the whole world to know
God of my forever and forever I’m with You
My life is saved with a price, Your sacrifice redeemed my soul
God of my forever and forever I will sing
My greatest honour will always be to serve my Lord and King
God of my life I’ve surrendered, my heart finds its rest in Your word
Praises will not be enough to show how my love for You has grown
Nothing matters when You’re here with me, in the end just to hear You say “Well Done”
Bowing before Your throne

Remember Love by John Bevere
Everything of value in this life carries with it some form of risk. There is the threat of losing control and failing, but there is no fear in love. Why?
Love can never fail.
When love is found it should be protected at all cost. It should be the driving force behind all we do. Once we have love, it cannot be separated from us without causing great injury. I realize that I am painting a picture of what should be rather than what often is. But in this picture, I believe you will glimpse the power of what could be and move from the domain of disappointment to the realm of hope.
Once love is openly declared, there is no going back. This happens between Christ and His beloved bride. For with Him, there is no coming back from the promise of the love that propelled Him to risk it all. It is not possible for Him to fail you. Men and women love, but God is Love.
If we are to move beyond survival in our relationships, we must allow our hearts to remain open to the transforming power of love.
If I . . . have not love, I am nothing. - 1 Corinthians 13:2, NIV
We can be a part of many things, but without the motive and preservation of love, they all eventually become nothing... Money without love is empty. Sex without love becomes nothing. Relationships without love are shallow and ultimately lonely.
Love transfers legacy as surely as it creates life. Fear is the enemy of love as certainly as love has the power to overcome and displace fear.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear. - 1 John 4:18, NKJV
It is when we learn to love fearlessly that we will find ourselves loved perfectly. Don’t be afraid of these words. Those around you may not magically change, but you can. You can be free again. The world trembles before the people who choose to fearlessly love. Love is not only one of the weapons and forces we fight with; love is our domain to protect. Like the Word of God, it is both our sword and our promise.
Take a moment and ask yourself why you might find it hard to give your heart fully to those you are in relationship with. Our need for each other was never meant to be a weakness to be exploited, but a dynamic to be celebrated. We can love others because Christ first loved us. Let’s surrender to the power of love and let it remove all fear from our relationships.
Heavenly Father,
I come before You in the name of Jesus. I want to know the power of Your love. I want my life to exhibit this power in every aspect and relationship. I want to awaken strengths, not criticize the weaknesses in others. I want to use my words to build and plant lives, not tear them down. I receive Your life and love and believe I am chosen for You. I believe You have the power to build up my life. I give You every broken, torn-down place. Have Your way as I submit my weaknesses to You, Father. Cover them with Your strength. By the power of the Holy Spirit, reveal Your love in and through my life.
Amen.

Captivating
Romanced
Adoring Hearts
Our hearts are made to worship. It's what we do; we can't help it. Now worship is one of those words made sickly by religion. We hear "worship" and we think, She's talking about going to church. Singing hymns. Nope. Worship is far more passionate, far more abandoned. Worship is what we give our hearts away to in return for a promise of Life. Some worship fashion; others worship a boyfriend or husband. We really are limitless in what we will give our hearts away to. Movies, food, shopping, gossip, you name it, I've bowed before them all.
But Jesus is the only one worthy of our heart's devotion. Mary recognized who Jesus was- the source of all Life. Love Incarnate. She did what you and I hope we, too, would have done. She dropped everything and sat at his feet, fixing the gaze of her eyes and the gaze of her heart upon him.
It was women who followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs. It was women who stayed at the foot of the cross, offering him the comfort of their presence until Jesus breathed his last (only John remained with them). It was to women that Jesus first revealed himself after he rose from the dead, and it was women who first "clasped his feet and worshiped him" Matt 28:9 as the Risen, Victorious Lord.
Women hold a special place in the heart of God. A woman's worship brings Jesus immense pleasure and a deep ministry. You can minister to the heart of God. You impact Him. You matter. Jesus desires to pour out your love on him in extravagant worship that ministers to his heart. This is not just for women who have the time, women who are really spiritual. You are made for romance, and the only one who can offer it to you consistently and deeply is Jesus.
Offer your heart to him.

What alone Eve can tell
The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. (Gen 2:7)
It is nearing the end of the sixth day, the end of the Creator's great labor, as Adam steps forth, the image of God, the triumph of his work. He alone is pronounced the son of God. Nothing in creation even comes close. Picture Michelangelo's David. He is... magnificent. Truly, the masterpiece seems complete. And yet, the Master says that something is not good, not right, Something is missing... and that something is Eve.
And the Lord God cast a deep slumber on the human, and he slept, and He took one of his ribs and closed over the flesh where it had been, and the Lord god built the rib He had taken from the human into a woman and He brought her to the human (Gen 2:21-23)
She is the cresendo, the final, astonishing work of God. Woman. In one last flourish creation comes to a finish bot with Adam, but with Eve. She is the Master's finishing touch. How we wish this were an illustrated book, and we could show you now some painting or sculpture that captures this, like the stunning Greek sculpture of the goddess Nike of Samothrace, the winged beauty, just alighting on the prow of a great ship, her beautiful form revealed through the thin veils that sweep around her. Eve is... breathtaking.
The vast desire and capacity a woman has for intimate relationships tells us of God's vast desire and capacity for intimate relationship. and God yearns for relationship with us. Not only does God long for us, but he longs to be loved by us.
After years of hearing the heart-cry of women, I am convinced beyond a doubt of this: God wants to be loved. He wants to be a priority to someone. How could we have missed this? From cover to cover, from beginning to end, the cry of God's heart is,"Why won't you choose me?" It is amazing to me how humble, how vulnerable God is on this point. "You will find me," says the Lord,"When you seek me with all your heart" (Jer 29:13) In other words,"Look for me, pursue me - I want you to pursue me." Amazing. As Tozer says,"God wants to be wanted."
Can there be any doubt that God wants to be sought after? The first and greatest of all commands is to love him Mark 12:29-30 Matt 22:36-38. He wants us to love him. To seek him with all our hearts. A woman longs to be sought after, too, with the whole heart of her pursuer. God longs to be desired. Just as a woman longs to be desired. This is not some weakness or insecurity on the part of a woman, that deep yearning to be desired. God feels the same way. Remember the story of Martha and Mary? Mary chose God and Jesus said that that is what he wanted."Mary has chosen what is better" Luke 10:42. She chose me.
