Yay God!!

What a glorious day!

Well, it depends on how you see it. I think it's glorious.

The depth of what the Lord has done for us on the cross.

The depth of His redemption.

The depth of His restoration.

The depth of His love, grace and mercy.

The depth of His victory.

It's so fulfilling when you see the life changed:

"today i feel such a release and i feel different. my mother ask me how come i am different today."

To use the words of Austin, "I CANNOT TAKE IT!!!"

Thank you Jesus!!!!!!!

The revival that never ends.

A young woman is Redding, California, saw herself in the arms of the Father in a vision. She saw the Heavenly Father reading a book. The Father asked her, "Do you want to know what I'm reading?" She said, "Yes!" The Father said, "I am reading the book on revivals. Do you want me to read to you?" She said, "Yes!" He said, "What would you like for Me to read?" She said, "Read to me about the revival of the 2000s, not the 1800s or 1900s!" The Father said, "Oh! You mean the one that never ended?"

Poverty

There's a power in poverty that breaks principalities
And brings the authorities down to their knees
There's a brewing frustration and ageless temptation
To fight for control by some manipulation
But the God of the kingdoms and the God of the Nations
The God of creation sends His revelation
Through the homeless and penniless Jesus the son
The poor will inherit the Kingdom to come
Where will we turn when our world falls apart
And all of the treasures we've stored in our barns
Can't buy the Kingdom of God?
Who will we praise when we've praised all our lives
Men who build Kingdoms and men who build fame
What will we fear when all that remains
Is God on His throne, with a child in His arms, and love in His eyes
And the sound of His heart cries

Day 8, 20th April 2009

Shopping, great fellowship, great food and then it's back home for us. Looking forward to coming again.

55 million souls!

Day 7, 19th April 2009

It's truly awesome just to worship God together with the church. They are a worshipping church and a worshipping church will get the attention of the Eagle! It's so great to see so many hungry people in that nation gathered together on a Sunday morning. We spoke at the 3 services, had a great time in the presence of God and fellowshipping with the saints, not forgetting the superb meals prepared by the pastor's wife.

Day 6, April 18th 2009

It was the first day of the week we had more than 5 hours to sleep. The whole of Saturday morning was free so we can wake up a bit later, enjoyed our buffet breakfast before we went shopping. The moment you step out of the nice Parkroyal Hotel, poverty greets you in the face. Just minutes from the Parkroyal and the posh Traders Hotel is a slum hidden behind a high wall, what a contrast. I can still remember how to walk to the market from the hotel. We bought nice cheap T-shirts and some souvenirs before we headed back to the hotel for some "body maintenance" to prepare for the youth service in the evening. It's great to be back at the church worshipping with the youths. God wants the youths to be plugged into Him 24/7 and not just at a camp or major event. He moved in such an amazing, convicting the hearts of the people to keep the fire burning everyday of their lives. After the service, we had a nice dinner and fellowship with the leaders at the J-O stall.

"Desperate" Camp Day 5, April 17th 2009

Had a awesome time worshipping together with the Burmese brethren in the morning worship time. The various workshops were powerful as usual. Left the place without before lunch time to send Ps James and Josiah back to the hotel to check out as they are returning today on the afternoon flight. Had a brief respite from the hot weather at the airport. It rained heavily on our way back to the camp site due to a cyclone in nearby Bangladesh. The guys were actually playing and bathing in the rain together with the male leaders and campers, they are half Burmese already! I spoke on supernatural courage during the last night session. The campers were still hungry for more of God despite it being the last session. God moved powerfully and deposited in the hearts of the young people a burden to see their nation saved. After such a memorable and enjoyable camp, we felt really close to the youths by now, it was a little sad to come to the end of the camp. After some photo taking we left for the hotel for a much needed rest.
