Romans 12
1 And so, dear brothers and sisters,[a] I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.[b] 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
3 Because of the privilege and authority[c] God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.[d] 4 Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, 5 so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.
6 In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. 7 If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. 8 If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
9 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. 10 Love each other with genuine affection,[e] and take delight in honoring each other. 11 Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.[f] 12 Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. 13 When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. 15 Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!
17 Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. 18 Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.
19 Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say,
“I will take revenge;
I will pay them back,”[g]
says the Lord.
20 Instead,
“If your enemies are hungry, feed them.
If they are thirsty, give them something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap
burning coals of shame on their heads.”[h]
21 Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.
Lord,
I thank you for Jesus. The same power that conquer the grave lives in me. Your love that rescued the world lives in me. Lord I thank you once more for speaking to me, I rather be found right in your sight. I choose you Jesus. Lord you know of my struggles, so I lay down all my burdens at your feet. Just like the way you gave me a new heart, Lord I will wait for you to renew me with a new love for people. Lord, as according to your Word, you say don't let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good and bless those who persecute me. Lord I listen and obey now, Satan you have no right to plant all these thoughts into my mind. * Haha! Bye bye! :P * I send you to the feet of Jesus, don't ever come back. And Lord, you say forgive so that I may be forgiven as well. Lord I forgive everyone right now and I ask for your mighty hand to bless your people! More blessings Lord, abundant multifold blessings. Bless and protect the leaders. Lord i ask for your hand of protection to be upon the sheep. Sway all the hearts back to you. Thank you Lord, I receive your forgiveness, and I will wait on you until you renew me with a newer and stronger love for people! End of the day Lord, I choose to stand on your Word. I love you Father, and I thank you for this mighty love, this is the same love which will release your power. So Lord, i ask for infinite blessings to bless your heart!
I cut off all ungodly soul ties and i ask for the blood of Christ to cover me and my household. In Jesus name I pray,
Amen.

You can tell yourself that you have already decided, that nothing now can stop you, but if that step backwards is so much safer than step forwards, what will hold you true to your path when the going gets tough? Sometimes, the right thing to do is to take that first irreversible step, the one after which you cannot go back. And now, for you, is one of those times.

You don't fully understand My love for you. It flows and pulsates; it hovers over you. It is deep and passionate. It is never-ending. I only want what's best for you - the VERY best!
When you are afraid of making a mistake, you aren't seeing Me clearly.
When you ask for forgiveness more than once (for the same thing), you are giving in to unbelief and fear. (You are completely forgiven the first time.)
Rest in My arms. Trust in my forgiveness and favor.
I know your heart - you want to please Me. Let Me take care of you; let Me guide you. I will help you find the right path.
You will hear My voice - I will increase you hearing. You will see My face - My face of love and compassion toward you.
Rest in My love. I will take care of EVERYTHING!

Hui Lian got a message that on this day, God wants her to know...

Lord, that i pray that unless You are with me, I cannot do this alone. Unless You guarantee and chop, i seriously think logically otherwise. But if You say yes, then i will do it, I will stake my life and all no matter what it takes. Amen.

Glory departs from the temple
Pray and ask God to reveal why the anointing level has fallen over the past month.
Seek the REAL heart of God and see why He cries
Don't see what you seem to see for it is only a shadow of a reality
Repent.
I am grieving.

Jesus said in Luke 14:33, “…anyone of you who does not give up everything he cannot be my disciple.”
This passage is unique to Luke, though verses 26-27 are like Matthew 10:37-38 and verses 34-35 are similar to Matthew 5:13 and Mark 9:49-50. It is extremely significant that this passage is addressed to large crowds. Jesus offered himself to all, but he also was honest from the very beginning of his preaching about what the journey would involve. What Jesus asks for is first place in one's heart. That is what successful discipleship requires.
So Jesus calls for a follower who will hate his mother and father, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life. The point of the list is that no other relationship is first for a disciple. "Hate" is used figuratively and suggests a priority of relationship. Jesus is first. To follow Jesus means to follow Jesus, not anyone or anything else. A disciple is a learner, and the primary teacher in life is Jesus. This total loyalty is crucial, given the rejection and persecution that lie ahead. If his followers care more about family than about Jesus, when families are divided under pressure of persecution, they will choose against Jesus. This is what lies behind Jesus' remarks. Discipleship is not possible if Jesus is not the teacher.
This is why bearing the cross and coming after Jesus is the issue of discipleship. Learning from Jesus means following him, experiencing the rejection he experienced and so bearing the cross he bore. We cannot "learn Jesus" without being prepared to walk this path. Discipleship is basically allegiance. To follow Jesus is to rely on him. Paul makes the same point in different imagery in Romans 6.

a season of loss and mourning
My spirit is grieved.
God doesn't give us insights for nothing. He doesn't tell us that we are sitting on a ticking time bomb for nothing. What have we done with our prophetic gifting? Have we really rise up to comfort and encourage those in trials? To offer forgiveness and mercy to those who have fallen? To press on and to believe and abide in the agape love?
When the crowd wanted to stone the sexually immoral woman, what did Jesus do? He offered to her mercy and forgiveness! This is the same God who died for us while we were still sinful and fallen.
Desire mercy, not sacrifice.
Forgiveness, not judgment.
quoting from: http://exodusmark.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-strengthen-yourself-in-god.html
"Heb 11:6 (NKJV)
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him
We are only as strong as what we believe our God IS. If we believe He IS our healer, then we will experience more of His healing. If we believe He IS our provider, then we will enjoy more of His provision. What we believe God IS, becomes the “substance” God materializes in our lives. We must therefore build on the correct knowledge of who God is. And we must approach Him in faith. Lastly, the fear of the Lord will be the key to knowing God intimately … "
If we believe that God is judgmental and without leeway then He will manifest Himself in that manner.. but my thought provoking question is this a correct view of God?
A successful spiritual walk is a cooperation between God and man. God can show us dreams n visions. But it is up to man to decide his responses!
Luke 8:18
Therefore consider carefully HOW you listen. Whoever HAS will be GIVEN MORE; whoever does NOT have, even what he thinks he has will be TAKEN from him."

Judging Others
37"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."quoting from: http://exodusmark.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-strengthen-yourself-in-god.html

Supernatural God!
The Lord healed me supernaturally of my fever!
Next He blessed me with additional cash in my bank!
On a separate note, my spirit was grieved.... there are things coming... yet nothing is being done.
