Reaching out our hands to the nations

Wednesday, April 1, 2009 by Anonymous

Hello to all my beautiful sisters,

what a wonderful night of worship and prayer we had at our April prayer meeting!!! The name of our Lord is highly exalted, lifted up in worship and praise, because He is indeed worthy!!! For all the sisters who couldn't be with us, we missed you and we had you girls in our hearts and in our prayers! We pray that we will grow in love and unity, and that each one of us will draw closer to God and to one another! Pray that the fresh revelations of the words of God will revive your hearts, stir up your spirit, that this Easter you will be transformed and experience the harvest of increase! Amen!

I just want to share with you something that i received tonight. As we were singing in worship, I ask the Lord to open up my eyes, eyes that see what God sees. Immediately, a picture of His people suffering in pain, in poverty, in all sorts of suffering crying out in desperation. The Lord reminded me that He is the God of ALL! He made these people in His image, these people are HIS CREATIONS WHOM HE LOVES! Even though they may be people from different nations, different cultures who may seem to be strangers to us, but they can be OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS as we continue to bring these souls into the kingdom of God.









The next thing that came into my mind is: how can i reach out to these people who are so far away, or are strangers whom we do not know. The Lord reminded me the verse from<> 'Indeed, the LORD's hand is not too short to save, and His ear is not too deaf to hear.' His hands and arms are definitely not too short to save; even though we may have physical limitations to what we do (e.g. we may not be able to simply go in person to all these nations), but in the spiritual realm, THERE IS NO LIMIT! The Lord is indeed mighty to save, and we just need to REACH OUT OUR HANDS TO THE NATIONS, through our prayers and fast, as well as our HELPING HANDS! After that, i also had the question in my hand, how much impact can we bring? Then God told me that it is beyond our understanding how BIG the difference we can make by saving one soul, let alone the whole nation! It may be the person that you bring salvation to, he/she will be brining the Gospel to multitudes! God has divine connections linked up for us here on Earth and in heaven, that we, as people of God, can MAKE A DIFFERENCE and ADVANCE THE KINGDOM OF GOD!
So I pray that may we all be guided by the Holy Spirit in journey of life, that we will rise up as mighty armies of God, forcely advancing; being the LIGHT OF THE WORLD, that all shall be saved! May God make us usable for His plans, that we can be the channel of blessings, ministers of God who will bring the Gospel to all men!
Love you all & keep inviting your friends to come to EASTER PRESENTATION! Dont miss the chance!
agape,
princess christy

darlings,
wowers! this blog is really kicking on strong! its been nearly a year since i started this blog... nice to know that God has used it as instrument to bless one another... but i shall talk abt in a later post...

for this post, i just want to share our the time i had in singapore with some brothers and sisters from our great family. like some would have heard by now, the conference wasn't as good as expected but there were a few sessions which were amazing that i will mention here.
FRIDAY MORNING was top class. worship was anointed! there was such a tangible presence of God. I could literally taste and see that the LORD is amazing and great! I didn't want it to end. anyways, Pastor Lawrence did the first message for the day which was titled PARADIGM SHIFT to G12 CELL CHURCH. He spoke about the difference between a church with cells and a cell church then the different cells in the g12 vision and ending on the nature of the cell church with community, corporation and cause. the second session that morning was done by Ps Caesar and this was titled "IF YOU CHANGE, EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE" with his passage coming from 1 Chronicles 4: 9 and 10 (otherwise known as the Jabez Prayer). This was really powerful and really changed my perspective on everything.
the other awesome session was on Saturday night when we had Delirious lead us in a time of worship. i have to say, they have somehow managed the fusion of having a rock concert and time of community worship really really well. even though the music and tunes were loud and different, the joy of being in the presence of the Lord was so great. time just flew by heyyyy..


spiritual encounter was another thing all together! after being slightly disappointed with the conference, i didn't know what to expect for the second half of our time with FCBC.... but i had no reason to doubt because God moved in such a powerful way. even from the beginning, during worship of the first night, God's presence was soooo strong. we barely sung any songs.... people were all weeping and singing unto the Lord new songs from their heart. it was soo beautiful! no one had any agendas and we lost all concept of time. all we wanted was to be in communion with Him. that could be said for the rest of the encounter, esp during worship and certain altar calls. even though some speakers were admittedly better than others, on the whole, i left well-fed. God really dealt with my heart and made me confront certain things that i pretended were closed. He healed me and gave me total liberty. at the beginning of the whole thing, the first lady gave us all a butterfly and she said that at the end of it, we will leave as different women. even though i look the same outside, my heart has changed and like a butterfly, the transformation is complete and i feel like im flying with new life and freedom.
lastly, the experience in singapore cannot be described without giving a specific shout out to the people i shared it with. stiggy, it was a shame that you weren't feeling well for much of our time in singapore but whatever time we did have as a group, it was fun.... patricia and anne, it was great seeing you after sending you off to indo; it was mindblowing hearing your testimonies and all the things that God did in your lives esp over breakfast and hot soya bean milk.... wen and rachel, thanks for sharing our beautiful little room with me; it was awesome talking to you girls till early hrs in the morning and keeping each other company throughout the days even though we had a really wet bathroom every night (hahahahaha.. *wink wink*).... henry and eddie, thanks for taking care of us girls in geyland, esp at night when it was dodgy; it was such a blessing to deepen my friendship with the two of you and getting to know your hearts. lastly, ac and di, what a difference you two brought to my time in singapore from the durian eating to trying on glasses to major D'n'Ms on bus rides with ac to scaring the beef out of me at the singapore flyer to loooong flights with law to playing with the cute doggies at aunty po's house; you two are little but big angels from God. ^____^ all of you, i loooooveeee you!!! i know that this is the beginning of many trips we shall have together as one BIIIIG FAMILY!

to everyone, while we were away, i had time to reflect on where we are at. even though we went to really anointed churches with huge teams to work with and had extensive resources, im so glad that im part of NLCC coz i know that we have even bigger and better things installed for us. not saying anything bad abt those churches but He really does have unique and specific dreams for us. i remember when i flying into one of the cities and i looked out of the window, i heard the voice of God speaking to me saying, "You can have this city and many more nations.. they are yours.... I have anointed NLCC to reach multitudes... If you would only claim and walk in the ways I have set out for you. There is no stopping MY MIGHTY ARMY"... Im so glad im going out to war with each one of you by my side. I know i can trust each one of you and we can cover each other's back. 

stay on the right side... choose the winning team!

ps more photos to come out on fb.

feel the urgency. be the few.

"ENTER through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it." ~ Matthew 7.13
dear sparkling jelly princesses. I believe WE are the chosen generation, the generation called to touch heaven and change earth more than ever before. It is URGENT to reach out and change lives. Jesus came to earth for a reason - it re-establish His Father's Kingdom.
Let us not forget that when Jesus died on the cross, taking ALL our sickness, shame, hurts and disappointments, as well as our sins away from us had a PURPOSE for us to RISE UP and continue His and our Father's will of His Kingdom to reign over all of heaven and earth.
The way to life is narrow, it is not a smooth and easy to ride through for there will be many trials and temptations. Keep in mind that these TRIALS AND TEMPTATIONS are to teach us and train us up. Just like school and university - we learn and learn and learn, then you need to sit tests, do assignments and prepare yourself for the BIG exam which will reveal whether or not you are equipped for the 'go pass' to enter into your career as a professional. So very similar, the Word of God - Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (BIBLE) will teach you and equip you, then when trials head your way you are able to overcome them with the knowledge of God's Word and conquer HDs.
Look at trials and temptation as training sessions, these sessions will chip off bad habits and polish up the Jesus in YOU.
Guard your heart at all times, be alert and be quick to respond to the opportunities that God opens up for YOU to speak life into your family peoples, your friends, random strangers (random bus stop peoples) and don't forget to encourage not only the new christians but the older christians.
We're family in Christ.
"But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" ~ Matthew 7.14
Don't be the common or the many that lust after the things of the world, but be the few, the few that walks with Jesus, the few that look towards God for peace, unconditional love, the few that draws strength and wisdom from Him and the few that our Heavenly Father looks upon with favour and takes delight in.
if you think about all the christians in the world, the true ones that have deep intimate relationship with Christ, then think about ALL the ones still living the ways of a fallen world that have yet to know Him the way you do - your Abba, your Provider, your first Love.
i pray that the Holy Spirit will stir in your hearts daily to enable you and move you to do great and mighty works our Father has called you to do. Lets be great citizens, citizens of the Kingdom of God that are super quick to obey, naturally quick to love and forgive, willing to share and slow, very slow to anger, worry and complain.
Stay sweet, use your time wisely - be organise, live everyday effectively advancing God's kingdom and above ALL, appreciate God - be thankful and grateful, and remember to count your blessings.
Keep running. Look far, Go deep, Dream big. Love each and every one of you girls.
Agape, jelly baby x x x

Understanding our Heavenly Father

Sunday, March 15, 2009 by Anonymous

Dear sisters,



Thank you for another great night of YAF led by Jellybaby & powerpuffs~ you girls have enabled us to open up to share & to ask questions (lol especially for our HD student ...haha) so that we can all learn from one another!

Okay, from what we learnt yesterday night, i decided to put one of the verses into action.

<1>
Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.



WILLING TO SHARE. These few words spoke into my heart somehow when the verse was read and the Holy Spirit reminded me of something that He revealed to me during one of my 3x3 prayers. So i just want to share this with you all:

The word: 'UNDERSTANDING' came into my mind during my weekly 3x3 prayer.

So i spent time thinking, what does this 'UNDERSTANDING' mean and how does it relate to what God wants me to do. This then relates to one of the verses that Jellymom has written in one of the blog entries about The Year of Increase, which says 'Increase in wisdom and understanding that helps you in all things'


Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.

From this word, I came to understand that in order for us to please God, we must obey His command because it is out of our LOVE for Him that we want to follow His wills. So, in order for us to an understanding of God, of who He really is; not soemthing that we try to think or judge He is, but who He really is through His words, through His amazing power manifested. It can only be done, when we surrender of all we have, then we can know who God is.

In every relationship, understnaidng is crucial in order for the two people to be in harmony, in love or at peace with one another. This is the same when it comes to our relationship with God. As we understand God by forgetting about ourselves, but 'be in His shoe', we will be more in love with Him, wanting to do what He wants, rather than following our own ways. We will be so in love with Him that we just want our lives to satisfy and to please Him!

So, i pray that we will be active in sharing our faith, so that we will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ.

Love you all sisters, you girls are great joy and encouragement to me =)



Let's continue to spread the Love of God through our speech, our actions, our prayers etc~ so that we make the name of Jesus famous and known in all corners of the earth!!!

God bless you all

xoxo Christy

Miracle updates!

Sunday, March 8, 2009 by Princess Mandy

To my dear sisters,

Thanks *again* for being so supportive on Friday night! Not only did we have fun preparing/leading, we learned a lot in the process! And from you girls too as you asked questions and participated in the discussion! I just received a sms from our precious Jellymom so decided to blog it straight away!

"Just finished service. Amazing miracles. Man in wheelchair, didn't go church 5yrs since stroke. Couldn't open fist, move hand, walk. Now can do all. Left wheelchair walkin in front of all! His wife w. walkin cane, dr's gave up on her. Cancer. Worse cond.than husband, severe pain gone. Walk without cane, telling all i'm healed! Man totally blind. Eyes just white, told Patty she's pale skin, smiling, he copied her movements, healed! Boy's leg grew out 1.5 inches! Dramatic miracle in sight of parents. Ankle twisted made straight. Mute & deaf, healed! Yest. man w acute pain in chest, back, etc for 25yr, can't walk without pain, healed! Way more things, 2little sms! God bless! Anne & team :) SPREAD UPDATES PLS!"

Whoa! Amen! Praise God! Hallelujah! God is ALIVE and is MOVING through the NLCC team! Continue to uphold them in your prayers!! Our God is AWESOME! How can we ever stop praising and worshipping Him!? Our God is such an exciting God!! So if you're having a boring dull day, you do not know Him. See what the team is doing in Indonesia?? It's not just for "super Christians" but for every single one of YOU who has been born again into God's family! That means YOU and ME! We can ALL do these because the miracle working God lives inside of us!


I've been meaning to blog for a few days now... But haven't got around to that until today! In addition to the updates of the Indonesia mission trip, I was inspired when I read Joshua 1.

God said: Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you. (v.1) We claim this not only for the mission trip but also for our own lives! As we step into uni, God has ALREADY given it to us! (Notice the tenses used.) Every day as we go to uni, know that you have dominion (as Jesus has dominion and He lives inside of us) so we can have the confidence to reach out to our friends!

God the Father also said: No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life... I will be with you. (v.5) He is ALWAYS with us ( also see Mat 28:20); we can overcome ALL things! No harm shall come our way!

In this chapter, 3 times God commands us to
 be strong and of good courage (v.6)
only be strong and and very courageous (v.7)
be strong and of good courage (v.9)

There must be a reason why He had to say that 3 times! This shows the importance and need of us standing strong and being courageous! (Note: the 'only' in v.7 doesn't mean be strong/courageous and nothing else... the 'only' is for emphasis...) It's not only something that God told us is good to be but its a command! Essentially He asked in v.9, have I not commanded you to be strong and of good courage? So we don't have an option! It's a MUST! Stemming from what we learnt on Friday, no matter what we face, because we have the HOPE of glory and God is with us ---> so we CAN be strong and courageous!

In this same passage, I have been reminded to KEEP FOCUS! Only be strong and courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law... do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. (v.7) Do not be distracted from being obedient to God and drawing close to Him! Janey sorta mentioned that in her recent post too. Studies, work, other commitments, material things etc should NOT cause us to remove our eyes from Jesus! If it does, you need to question your priorities and really come before God! Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the subtle things that the devil place in your life that might be hindering God working in your life! When you DO fix your eyes on Jesus and walk in His righteousness no matter where you go you'll prosper! You'll be successful in studies, in business, have good health, have good relationships! Everything falls into place when your relationship with God is right and intimate!! So in your business, KEEP GOD AS YOUR NUMBER ONE!!!! Kepe looking ahead to what God has promised you (for being obedient and being a daughter of God) and that shall be our motivation to keep focused and not be side tracked!

That's all from me now...
See you all at Christy's for fun games, good fellowship and delicious foooood (Something that can never be missed when we have yaf grp events!)~~ Haha!

xoxo
