God's words

Early in the morning, just after after midnight, I opened the Bible book and prayed for the guide of the Holy Spirit. Here it said:

"And people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impediment and begged him to lay his hands on him. He took him off by himself away from the crowd. He put his finger into the man's ears and, spitting, touched his tongue; then he looked up to heaven and groaned, and said to him, "Ephphatha!" (that is, "Be opened!") And [immediately] the man's ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly." ~ Mark 7: 32 - 35

That's the healing of the deaf man. It always inspires my hope for hearing. I had been deaf since I was born. My world is completely different from the others. However, there's inner voice in my ears. It always talks to me all the time. I could not make out of it. Is it God speaking to me, I wonder? Anyway, I'll wait for Him to heal me. From now onwards, I'll keep myself holy and pure. No more sinning for me. I hope that God will give me a chance and change me into a new person.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me. Forgive me as in your Name, I forgive all the others who have sinned against me. Amen.

Anyway, i wrote down the Ten Commandments as a reminder. I hope that it will help you, the readers as it said: "..bestowing mercy down to the thousandth generation, on the children of those who love me and keep my commandments." ~ Exodus 20: 6

The Ten Commandments
1. I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make wrongful use of the name of thy God.
3. Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.
4. Honor thy father and mother.
5. Thou shalt not murder.
6. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
7. Thou shalt not steal.
8. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
9. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife.

A new activity

Finally, the pain from muscle sores has vanished. Thanks to God's words. Being inspired by the teachings from the Church of Risen Christ last Monday, I decided to try it out at home. I put all my heart, strength and mind into it. I used God's words to heal myself as if they act as a medicine. Amazingly, it became less irritated and less painful on the next day. God's really merciful to us. I believe that He will open my silent ears one day.

On the next day (Tuesday), I made a journey to my friend's house with his guide. We were discussing about the works for the church activity. For the special Christmas activity. I'm absolutely sure that I'm very busy on this December because I was also asked to perform a Maori wardance for the Charismatic Group's Christmas party. But it's just a small role and very easy to perform anyway. I better focus on the Arts works. It is very first time that I'm doing a big project for the church. I really feel happy and thrilled with it because I can exercise my talents for God. It could be an excellent lesson for me. A tough challenge as well. I hope that I will learn something new afterwards.

Blessed be God! Blessed be God! Blessed be God forever. Amen. Alleluia.

Pain, please go away!

I got a feeling. I won't be playing this Wednesday. Why? Because my arms are in a legion of pain. A terrible pain that I could not set them straight. When I tried to do that, I only felt so painful. Ouch.... *sigh*

This is the second time that I got such muscle sores. I guess that it would be going to last for eight days as last time. But now, I wish that it would cease tomorrow as there's coming game which I could not wait to perform my skills. Pain, please go away!

New World Order

The storm ended two days ago. Finally, it's over. Now, I'm residing in the new world. The world of leisure and peace. At this stage, I'm not sure what I should be doing to pass the time. Perhaps, I'm going to worship in the churches daily as usual. Now, I'm having another thought. I want to train myself to be fit again as there's coming game on Wednesday. A great test for me. I'm confident that I will put good effort in the game. I want to score a try which I had not even done so for long time.

Perhaps I can do better in my job as I have plent of time on my hands.

I hope that it would be different next year. No more difficulties for me, please. I hope that I would be able to hear next month without the aid of the hearing devices. Lord, have mercy on me and heal me. Please say the word and I shall be healed and may hear. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Friendship

It is one of important things in my heart. It's so priceless that no money can buy it. Without it, there's no love in the world. Hey, don't get me wrong. It's not the lust. Neither the boy-girl love. It's none other than heavenly love. It's like the family love. We should love each other as love comes from God.

Even though I treasure it very much, I sense that it's very injured and weak between some of my friends and myself. Once it was broken, it cannot be restored fully no matter how hard I try. I do not know why. I just feel awkward and uncomfortable whenever I see my friends whom I forgave after the break-up and patch up. I don't understand why it's so difficult to befriend again. I want to have a good and warm chat such as the old pals' meeting. Perhaps I'm not such a talkative person as I can't hear and live in a silent world.

From now onwards, I'll be more careful with my personal manner. I'll not hurt my other relationship with others again.

God, please forgive me and teach me to be patient and forgive the others for what they have done against me. Help me to restore old relationships with the others. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

A Day with the Lord

I can feel it. It's that the Lord is with me today. He was with me when I was enduring the trials earlier. I could not believe it when I was able to read clearly almost without any error. Although I could not express my views well when the lecturer pumped the questions into my head, I was happy enough to answer them. The Lord really has opened my mouth. I can't wait for Him to penetrate and open my ears so that I can hear properly.

Moreover, the Lord was also with me when I was "fighting" on the question test just now. I was perfectly as cool as the calm water and took everything easy as the test began.

I can sense that my fear within me has vanished. Forever. Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ. Alleluia! Forever and ever! Amen.

Yes, i'm going to pray faithfully and with confidence from tomorrow onwards. Lord, please keep increasing my faith as I want to stay with you forever and ever. The glory and power are yours, now and forever! Amen.

Cold response

When I recently entered into my class, I felt that my greeting was expected in the class. But I chose to give cold and silent response which means I didn't bother to greet all my classmates. I did not know why. Earlier, I always greeted everyone when I came to the class. But this time, it's different. Perhaps it was my fault. I deleted my warm and friendly greeting habit and everyone chose to follow the suit. Perhaps the old friendship is like that. Everyone, please pardon me for not greeting you every time we meet. I am more concerned about my personal stuff than everything I see everyday. Sometimes, I was afraid that I would meet a wrong person since I somehow could not remember the acquaintances' faces. Moreover, I am not talkative since I'm not good at expressing my feelings as well as the speech.

Lord Jesus, please forgive me for sometimes being cold to others. I don't mean to do that but I don't have the choice. Please teach me and help me to be patient, friendly and warm. Courage me as well with your Holy Spirit. Make me feel confident in You as I believe that You can heal me and strengthen me in faith for You had healed so many people on the Earth long time ago. Open my ears and my mouth to make the others hear and see the truth. Thank you, Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
