Jelly Princesses

Hi girls~

Just got back from YAF a while ago and I can't help but to say it again...


I'm sure you would have been welcomed by Su's group but just reiterating! xD

Worship was REALLY REALLY GOOD tonight!!!!! God's presence was soo strong I didn't even know time went so quickly! When Sam was wrapping up worship, I just wanted to stay there.. Hehe.. But I know that God's presence doesn't leave us (even when I've gone home from YAF)!!!

The key of tonight's message, LET GO COMPLETELY!

Leave your baggage at the Cross!! -- I hope everyone has done that tonight! Walking out of the chapel with your baggage surrendered to Jesus!!

That really spoke to me tonight... As I was doing devotion this morning (Friday) God lead me to read Galatians 5:7 that says "You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?" Got scared when I read that.. Because I didn't know whether there was something that was hindering me that I don't know about.. I didn't know whether that was referring to something that is current or whether its a warning.. Either way, I left my baggage at the Cross!! I'm FREE~~~

Let this week be a RECEIVING week~ Hehe~

Thats all from me now, have a blessed weekend~

I decided to move out and found one near the church in Monday evening. I searched all the database and found some information which were not so satisfactory. So I began to pray. Let Lord bless me to find a good house near the church. In Tuesday morning, I began to make some phone calls. And nealy all of the house didn't suits me. Then someone in the accommodation service gave me a newspaper, let me try the house in the newspaper. Because I used to looking in a newspaper, the house in it usually is unfurnitured. And suddenly I saw one in Norwood, so I made a phone call and went to see the house. It is a really lovely house near Parade and Portrush, about 4 min drive to church. The rental is only 125 including all expense. One of my friend is also looking for a room. She has already spent about 2 weeks but find nothing. It just took me a morning to find such a good house. I know it is the power of God. Praise God.

I was very excited in Wed and planned to post the experience on the blog. But it was just in Wed afternoon I received my assignment in commercial law. I did a bad job. Only get 9 points out of 20. So I began to be worried and upset. And also I got presentation in Thursday. 2 big assignment due next week. I feel it is mess. I don't even have time to read Bible. But I realized it is devil wanna pull you back. So I began to read Bible today, put God first, let all the assignment wait. I read the story of sow in Matthew 13, 20-22,Jesus said 'The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away. The one who received the seed that feel among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, make it unfruitful'. I clearly realized that after I became christian, I always told myself God is real, I felt the power so it is not a thing with shor time. But I fell it is like a lot of people are the seeds in the thorns. Sometimes the worries of life and deceitfulness of wealth make us too busy to talk to God, which we don't even realize it. Like I am always worry about my exam and assignment in the end of semester. And some friends of mine always tell me that they can not come to church because they are too busy. Like they are the seeds but fell among the thorns which make them unfruiful.

this is another aurora pic...i just love these pictures..can't wait to see it in real life! (one day! ^.^ )


HELOOOOOOOOOOOO SHINY PRINCESS WARRIORS!!!


Yup, watch what you say, do, as the power of life and death lie in the TONGUE.

also! During devotion two days ago, the song "Amazing Love" just came into my head, and the chorus has been stuck in my head.

Recently, I have been challenged multiple times whether I am truly willing to forsake all for God. Do I love my family more than I love Jesus? Would I rather spend time with my friends rather than God? Would I be willing to forgo the people in my life if it was necessary? Do I put my desires before His?

Truly, the road to follow Jesus is narrow and difficult. You can not walk on it with excess baggage in your hands. You can not walk on it dependent on friends and family.

The love of Christ is of an everlasting, ennobling character, and raises us above all worldly considerations, and places us at the feet of Jesus, with all we have or possess at the disposal of our gracious Lord.


In forsaking the world for Jesus, we make a holy exchange. In truth there is more heavenly felicity, more spiritual comfort, more substantial joy, more ecstatic bliss, in the enjoyment of the presence of the blessed Lord in the obedience of faith, than in all the world a thousand times told.

Hi princesses....



I was greatly touched when I saw the videos of little children of Pakistan coming to know Jesus....there're just sooo many of them with smiles upon their faces......IMAGINE....if God did NOT send Jesus...if Jesus did NOT send His Holy Spirit....if there's NO one willing to share the gospel....if there's NO preacher.....where will these children be?......Wat will they be going through alone?......NO mummy....NO daddy.....NO food.....NO love.....NO smile....


I am very grateful tat Jesus came.....He chose to obey the Father.....Lets be reminded that Jesus has paid it all.....HE LOVES US .....every single one of us...CHOOSE His choice and not go through unnecessary sufferings....For God knows the BEST for us....also choose to share the love with the ppl around us....y keep the precious gifts to urself when u can oways refill ur container with even GREATER gifts from heaven?

Hi girls!!

What a wonderful night??!! Truly God's presence filled the sanctuary!! When you are troubled, come to Jesus. When you are upset, come to Jesus. When you are weak, come to Jesus. When you are lonely, come to Jesus. Surrender all to Him and He will lift you to a place where He wants you to be. I have something to share. Was going to share at YAF but since we weren't divided into groups, I decided to type it up! xD So, as I was praying last night (before bed) God gave me a vision. I saw one of the staircase at Adelaide Uni which is outside the Barr Smith Library that leads up to Hughes Plaza. I then saw the back of a man walking up the stairs... He was in a white robe and was GLOWING with glory! It was JESUS! At Uni! After I saw the vision, God gave me a Bible reference: John 12. I was about to sleep so the lights and stuff were already turned off... So in case I forget the reference, I set a reminder on my phone that was going to ring during devotion time the next morning.


In the morning, before my reminder alert went, I already turned to John 12 because I was excited to see what God had to say to me. Because I got the reference right after the vision, I was certain that the passage would give me an explanation.. Well, either to tell me that my interpretation was wrong, or to confirm it. When I got to the end of the chapter, I got my answer.

v. 35-36 "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. While YOU have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." [Replace 'sons' with 'daughters' to personalize the Word~]

v. 46 "I have come as a light into the world that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness"

Whoa! That was an explanation of the vision! I believe that God is trying to tell us that because Jesus is the LIGHT of the world and He lives inside of us, so wherever we go, we bring His LIGHT with us. When we go to Uni, Jesus goes. Let us be the LIGHT that shines for Jesus at Uni! Take every opportunity to talk and bring life to the people around us! This is a year of ACTION right??

Have a good nights rest and dream Godly dreams xD

each day is a HAPPY DAY =D
so keep those beautiful smiles on your face to SHINE! This week has been strenuous...we got our take-home exam assignment! At the beginning, I kept avoiding it...because I had heard it hard, difficult, confusing, frustrating, can't keep within word limits...and also by tuesday, i heard some people have finished, and i hadn't even wrote a word. I was getting quite worried, until the Holy Spirit prompted me to remember what we learnt at yaf. " Your world is framed by your WORDS".

So instead of groaning and moaning ' this is sooo hard", i declared "THIS IS EASY. I CAN DO IT. GOd's STRENGTH IS IN ME. HE CAN EVEN DO THE IMPOSSIBLE, WHAT IS THIS MERE ASSIGNMENT?" INSTANTLY, i felt the Holy Spirit change my mood, change my way of thinking and i was ENERGIZED.

Praise God!! God is truly awesome and He is merciful, and knows what we need, and shows us how we can achieve it through HIS way. Afterwards, i went back to my computer, (even though it was 12.30am) i managed to read the question thoroughly and type a few paragraphs! I wasn't worried though, because i know that the Holy Spirit, my counsellor, will guide my through, and that worrying (exactly what GRACE mentioned) is just creating more troubles!

ACTION is what we need. That is also another point..lately time has been sooo tight..every minute something needs to be done. Jmom mentioned the other day, Only after a time of purging, will there be a time for glory!

My life needs some purging..getting rid of things that God does not want there, and for us to say "no" to them. I will update on what those are later! During Chinese lesson on wednesday, i started worrying about how i was going to finish all my work on time. But Holy Spirit prompted me to think about my time, and how efficiently do I actually use it. What i do instead of being productive.
TIME sucking things: ie, msn, facebook, eating, internet surfing.....those things are okay when it is used in measures. But i have realised now that i should separate the things i do. I.e: when i study, i should ONLY study. Not, study whilst on msn whilst watching t.v whilst eating whilst listening to music. hehehe that's what i usually do, but i want to change!
These habits have affected my devotion with God. When i only do ONE thing at a time, i feel like i'm wasting time, and i should be doing two things...but in actual fact, it just takes MUCHHHHHH longer! Sometimes during devotion, i eat breakfast, or brush my teeth or change...but then that is not fully devoting my time to God. so now, i'm purging out my bad habits.

Which leads onto my testimony from spiritual encounter! Before S.E, we fasted, prayed, and prepared our hearts to seek God. What i wanted from S. E was a fresh word from God, because my life was getting really dry, tiring, repetitive and i wanted to be refreshed. On the last night of the spiritual encounter, we were still in worship time, but the Holy Spirit's presence was already present. As we knelt before the Lord, i received a vision.
The vision was me standing at the entrance of two tunnels. One tunnel was dark and it went on inside curving and twisting and you couldn't see what was inside. The other tunnel was light, and as I walked through the lit tunnel, at the end was a Tree, with birds in it, and light everywhere. My revelation from this vision was that you need to choose the RIGHT path, the path of light that will lead to LIFE.

Don't be distracted by the ways of the world, don't be interested and curious about whats in the other tunnel, as that will lead to a maze of never-ending darkness. After kneeling down, people were called up to the front for ministry (still during worship time). When anne prayed for me, all i could hear was MORE..MORE.. i wanted more vision, more revelations, and most of all, i wanted my word. When the presence of the Holy Spirit was so strong, i fell back and was immersed in another vision! It was really powerful, as I didn't know what was going to happen.
The vision was in the sky, and i realised that I was flying around- as an eagle. Then i'd look down, and see the ground and patches of darkness. Then I'd swoop down, and *ATTACK* the darkness.
That was my word. *ATTACK* because if we don't attack our darkness and shine light into it, it will grow bigger, and bigger, and that just creates more landing pads for sin to land into- more doors for the devil to come into. After the S.E, i kept praying about the visions, and what God wanted me to do.
Of the days I do proper devotion, and actually seek God, the Holy Spirit would guide me to read passages in the bible about 'preparing for war' 'being a soldier'...and that lines up exactly with my visions.
What i need to do NOW is to prepare for war, prepare to battle all my bad habits that keep me from growing closer to God. Attack them all, so that I can become a strong warrior of God, ready to fight the good fight of faith!!

sorry about the long post! heheheh!
At least i typed it all out in one go =D

xoxox

I was very boring and at a loss in monday. Because there were so many assignment and presentations will due soon. I don't know why but at that time I began to worry about tommorrow. What will happen tmw? What will my presentation be? And a lot of things which I should not worry about. I would not calm down and focus on my business, because my heart was totally in a mess. And then I remebered that Anne told me put God first, and he will give you the answer. So I began to read Bible. It was very powerful because soon I found my answer in the Bible. Jesus said ' Therefore do not worry about tommorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.' Wooooooooooo, that is the exact answer I need. Suddenly I found I was silly, why I wanna looking for more troubles myself? Thanks God give me the answer.
Let us all continue praying for Maggie for her assignment tmw.

Grace Gong

Lead me to your cross, o Lord
Let me be so convicted of your love
That I may take up my cross
And die to myself
More and more
Each and every day

on the last morning, i woke up early and had a time of worship with three of my fellow brothers that was going to be on the worship team with me for that morning (henry, aaron and yuk yuk). it was such a sweet, sincere and tangible time of dwelling in God's presence. He spoke to all of us in personal ways and together, we declared our adoration to Him. when it came to the last session, there was a stirring in my heart right from the start. i could sense His spirit moving. right at the end, even before anne came to pray for me, i felt a weight and a warmth upon me. as soon as she laid her hands on me, immediately, i felt like i was on fire. i felt like i had been injected boiling blood and i remember thinking that it was just too much.... i felt like i was just abt to burst into pieces because i couldnt contain it. He was consuming me with His fire... i even remember looking at my breath and instead of seeing nothing coming out of my mouth, i only saw smoke.... suddenly everything stopped and i was surrounded by a bright bright bright light. it was as if i was looking at the sun directly... then i heard a loud clear voice saying to me, "Su, my dear child, be still and know that I am God. I am the One that you worship, you love, you cry out to, you pray to. I am the One that knew you even before you were born and have been with you throughout your life.... Be still and know that I am God"... After that I couldnt move or talk nor did I want to. I literally felt paralysed... It forced me to do as He said, be still and know that He is God...

As we all know, we had two prayer meetings following the encounter... on the second one, I was mightily touched by God's presence in such a powerful way. Right at the end when Pastor Chris was giving his departing prayer of God's blessings, i had a vision of heaven. all the angels were bowing down towards a throne, worshiping Him and at the front where the throne was, I saw God seated high. slowly i tried to walk up towards the throne but all I could do was bow before Him.. after I saw it, I thanked God and thought that was it but He was not done with me (yup, He has His own timing!).when i left the chapel to go to the toilet, with every step i took, i felt the weight of God's glory so powerfully upon me... by the time i got to the toilet, i couldnt even go because i was just weeping under His presence... i went to the kitchen to try and get some tissues to wipe my tears and then to the chapel but yet again, with every step i took, i couldnt help but weep under His divine presence... i finally got into my car but as i was driving, i could barely see out of my eyes and i could not stop my hands from shaking nor my legs from feeling numb. by God's protection, i got home safely but when i parked my car, i couldnt get out... i just sat there weeping in God's presence. it was uncontrollable. the weight of God's glory and His splendor was so overwhelming.... it took me more than an hr after prayer meeting before i regained physical strength to stand and talk.

Whoa whoa! It was so encouraging to read all your posts that were written after YAF last night! xD Thanks girls for the summaries of what Jellymom talked about and also for Jojo's awesome sharing!! Not only does testimonies build up yourself but it encourages others as well!!

I've got something to share... Was going to share last night when Jellymom asked people to, but I didn't know how to put it into words... Was still overwhelmed by it at the time... Didn't want to relay the chance to share so gona do it now!










Firstly, worship last night was just AMAZING!!! It was soo POWERFUL!! Thx Soupy and the whole worship team!! When we were singing the song Its For You My King, God's presence was so strong... I suddenly felt like I was in a garden. I tried to google a pic that looks like what I saw but couldn't find one... Here are two, when combined, kinda shows what I saw... The pic on the left shows the layout of the garden... So it was kinda like square-ish and I was *dancing* around in the garden while worshiping God. The pic on the right shows the amount of flowers and colours that was in the garden. The garden was soooo beautiful I was just standing in awe when I first saw that I was in the garden. The garden kinda symbolized God... How beautiful God is and how His presence is soo strong that I'm just fully wrapped around! (I don't remember seeing an exit to the garden, more like I didn't want to find it because I just wanted to stay there!) While being in that wonderful garden, I just can't help but keep singing praises to the Lord! I don't think I was physically dancing, but I was in the garden! xP

Um... I hope that made sense...


Hehe... Have a warm and blessed weekend~~ See you all on Sunday! Can't wait! Only if there are no exams, then we can always have fellowship with one another! Haha!

Hey Jelly Princesses!!

So glad to see such a massive group yesterday nite!!! I love the Monkey catching analogy too^^! Very practical!...Let's not be laughed by the devil as STUPID MONKEYs....so what should we be? Intelligent monkeys? Smart Monkeys? Monkeys with wisdom? NOOOOOOO!!!! We're NOT MONKEYs!!! Who are we? A troop of GREAT WARRIORS created in God's image!!^^

Here's a record of my testimony last nite.....if you wana know what happened during the 1st test...pls read my previous blog^^......Here's the part 2...ehehe....I had a oral+written test on 9th May...we're supposed to have a conversation with the patients (actors in fact) to record down the medications that they are taking...we're given only 3 mins for the conversation part to extract as much info as possible in order to fill in the given form...This test is of the same subject that I didnt pass during the 1st test....This time, I surrender it to God and let God take control...Me and my frens were finding it hard to get sufficient info within the 3 mins limit during our practice sessions.....surprise surprise....the course coordinator suddenly told us that there will only 4 drugs that the patient will be taking instead of the initial 7 drugs! Woa!! that was a great deduction! yay!! so we practised again...we found out that it largely depends on the patient's response during the 3 mins time...if the patient drag on like....umm...uh huh....aa....then goes ur time, there's no way to get all the information down!

I got the girls in our group and Jelly mom too..to pray for me..since there're a lot of pharmacy students, we were divided into 3 sessions...and I'm in the 3rd sessions.....my frens who had their test earlier told me that apparently the patient at station 4 is really cooperative....gues wat?!! Josephine --> Station 4!! ahhaa...I knew instantly that God's favour is upon me...my confidence BOOSTED almost immediately!!.....the patient was really really cooperative! when I asked her questions....she was bombarding me with ans!! Wohoo!! when the results came out.....it was 19/20!!Thank you, Jesus!! I knew that if it wasnt God, there's no way that a situation can be changed in such a 180 degree way! From a fail for the 1st test to a HHD (if there's such a grade...aaahaa) for the 2nd test....it just seem so ridiculous!! BUT...it's ridiculously TRUE!!

Lee Ping and I went over to Jelly mom's place for prayer on Wednesday nite...it was such awesome time we spent....The presence of the Holy Spirit was really STRONG!! We got to a point where we feel like we're lifted above the ground....it just feel so GOOD to be in His presence....God gave us SOO MANY visions....and we're greatly encouraged! I'm sure the other gals will post theirs soon and here's mine...

God spoke through Supei and she told me:
"You were in a forest and you were walking around looking for a stream. The longer you look, the thirstier you got. Finally, you found a stream after much seeking. As you drank of it, you got thirstier so you kept drinking."

and she goes on:

"The WORD of God for you is that you have sought for something more, something to satisfy you; you have sought for Me. I'm right infront of you, drink of Me. As you drink, you will become more like Me. You will grow. And as you drink of me, all the blemishes and imperfections in you will go."

That clearly spoke to me...and it was very accurate that I was seeking more from God...seeking something more that I havent found before and feel thirstier as I read of His word....I feel like knowing some parts of Him is just initiating the curiosity in me to know Him even more!! Amen! Such a Wonderful God we have!

Wah....such a long blog.....thanks so much for your time for reading up till this point...

Remember to Wait LONG ENOUGH to receive your good after you place ur order!!

Love u all!!

Jojo

Helloooooooooooooooooo all Princess Warriors!

how awesome was LIFE GROUP ^.^ 29 people! woooh multiplication will be an EXCITING TIME!exciting like this northen lights! like GOD's LIGHT IS SHINING UPON OUR GROUP!!! May we soak in the light and use it!!
even elva was like, ur group must be so exciting! hehehe
and it is!! when we multiply, theres MORE ROOM (spiritually and PHYSICALLY) for MORE AND MORE!!!!
hehehe more room for more girls to sit, and more bonding time for us to get to know each other more, and to go deeper and share our lives with each other!!

mmm how fun will our dinners be ....we'll have like enough food to feed an ARMY........oh yes...an ARMY OF PRINCESS WARRIORS!! i decided to look up warrior princess on google...
from WIKIPEDIA :

"In fictional works, the character type warrior princesses refers to a strong female personality of royal background, determined in pursuit of her goals and eager to take on typical "man's work" like fighting wars or performing manual labour to accomplish those goals. The physical and combat prowess of warrior princesses typically exceeds what would be plausible in real life. The warrior princess character stands in contrast to the stereotype of a "damsel in distress". "

heheheh!!! ROYAL BACKGROUND= Kingdom of GOD!
we PURSUIT our goals and eager to take on MAN'S WORK ....well....God has called all MAN... (inclusive of woMAN ^^)
...fight wars! against sin and the devil! Fight the GOOD fight of faith !
and performing manual labour to accomplish these goals.......we must do ACTION on our faith, and not just be satisfied sitting there, waiting .....we must goooooooo!

we're not "damsel in distress"...waiting on someone to save US....Jesus has already saved us, and so now we must GO and save others.

Tonight, i took a lot of notes ^.^
but i really like the monkey story! TO reiterate for those who randomly read this blog or who didnt go yesterday or who just wants to read it again!

How to Catch a Monkey (the nigerian way)

A hole is dug out in the ground, and a vase thing (small tiny opening at the top that can just fit the monkey's hand, with a large bottom) is put into it. Then some peanuts are put inside. The monkey comes along and smells the peanuts, put its hand in and GRABS on- making a fist.
Then they try to withdraw their arm, but now its a FIST, it cannot fit through.
They are stuck, and the hunter comes along and kills it.

This is an analogy jmom used for us not to HOLD on to our past, otherwise we will just get stuck..and eventually die still holding onto our past.

We must LET GO of our past hurts, failures, so our hands are OPEN for God to save us, to pull us out of danger, and to give us LIFE.
If we hold on, it gives opportunity for devil to come and attack, because we have fallen into his trap.

SO im gonna let go ! are YOU? =D i don't want those peanuts ! hehehehe i want GOD's bread of life!

WOWIES. its late.. i'm supposed to be sleeping early! but i wanted to post before i forget!

I WILL FRAME MY WORLD TO BE BEAUTIFUL, BY MY WORDS.

Speak differently for LIFE to be different - DO something different for your life to be different.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL WITH SWEEEET DREAMS, and VISIONs =D

here's a song for yous.....

There's a new wine
That' we're drinking
Filled with Holy Ghost power
We're filling up
To the top and overflowing
So step into the river
And drink from the well
Springing up from the fountain
Of the Holy Ghost

Much love for the AWESOME birthday wishes! It is so SWEET to have so many sisters looking out for and encouraging me- I really feel blessed that we are sharing this walk together in Christ.

As darling Jojo has mentioned, we have started a fast so that we can experience God even more intimately without any distractions! And doing it together so that we can support and keep each other accountable.

On my part, I have begun my devotions using my ‘life Application’ study Bible to keep me organized and motivated. It’s NLT so this makes for even easier reading! I will keep you girls posted on how this goes. Today I did:

2 Chronicles 15: 12-15

“Then they entered into a convenant to seek the Lord, the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soul… All in Judah were happy about this convenant, for they had entered into it with all their HEART. They earnestly SOUGHT after God, and they FOUND him. And the Lord gave them REST from their enemies on every side.”

Indeed, God’s word harbours streams of living water that cleanses and refreshes; it leaves me thirsting for more. And hungering for any form of encounter with God- His word, His blessings, His very presence. I thank God that he is MY SHELTER and MY ROCK- He protects and comforts. I love His REST that He promises, because it’s real and not temporal. It rejuvenates me from the inside out, and because of this I can face the new day with A NEW ME. A new LP who is revived and recharged, and thus ready to take on the world!

A spirit of REVOLUTION is in the air- it’s taking the church by storm. God is calling us no matter what stage we are at in our walks with Him. He is calling us to deny ourselves, to take up our cross daily and to follow Him. His call is urgent; it is insistent and unwavering. It cannot be denied. For only when we give God all we have, and pursue Him with all we have- will we find Him.

Seek God as He has sought you; pursue God as He has pursued you.

So I look to you
So I look to you
No one else will do
No one else will do

~Look to You, Hillsong
