Oh yes.

2011-03-14T07:51:00.000-07:00

Alright baby... I'm back... Praise the Lord. All Glory to Jesus!!

I'm gonna start a new blog. Yea, on tumblr. but it's not gonna be my name this time.

I feel I do much better when it's not about jeromechua.

I cant handle fame, if that's one thing I learned. But i know God's gonna make me famous. I just know it. all for His glory, but for now. Im not ready at all.

Anyways... I really've got to close this blog once and for all.

Time to move on to a whole new chapter of my life.

My twenties. It's gonna be a chapter verse. tumblr.com kinda name.

Here goes man. This is officially, officially the second last post on this blog. I'm gonna start a new blog soon.

yep. Ill definitely try to put in more photography, my own. yep.

and soon enough songs. Yep. Praise the Lord Jesus.

I never never expected my Poly life to end this fast. God has been faithful

as always. He truly truly is. I've got nothing much to say, But to ponder all these things in my heart and to constantly remind myself though it seems dark, the sun is shining darn brightly.

God bless you, I really thank you whoever you are. If you have faithfully read one whole post of my long long posts. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOU.

God bless you with wisdom, grace, confidence in Christ, and yourself and joy and peace and protection and favour in all that you do. Amen.

Faith

"Living by faith is not what you do every once in a while; it's a daily walk with God. "

- Mark Hankins, The Spirit of Faith

I guess that's why, everytime my eyes are of Jesus and His grace for me that's it for Jerome chua. totally gone. but yea, everytime i just look and behold His glory and majesty, Im higher than ill ever be.

.

2011-02-06T23:12:00.000-08:00

curently the most f*ed up season for me. chi new year was great. but all that im going through right now, it's just indescribable. i really wish there was a way out. god or jesus really doesnt seem to be coming through for me at all. i dunno what to say. its the question of why me Lord.
the amount of heartbreaks and broken dreams i have are really crazy. btw, lol. nothing to do with girls here. ya. but i know ill get out of this, i mean ya. my blog is psalm 40 v 1 la.
duh...

but still 1 year plus already. this is fuking killing me. yea that is how bad it is. pardon me and sorry if i do stumble you. haha. but yea this is my blog, and i know few people read it now, but if u are reading this. all i can ask of u is just to pray a simple prayer for me. yea.

job's suffering lasted altoghether less than a year.

i'd honestly go through job's suffering. really. but not now since mine's more than a year....
sorry god for comparing. but it really seems like ur not here at all with me lord. why lord. this is really too much for me to handle lord. pls break thru all my defences god. pls lord. there is really no one i can turn to Lord but to u. really no other lord jesus. save me pls.

God is near.

2011-01-07T22:48:00.000-08:00

God is near. He is. No matter what. He'll always be there for you.

I've been through the driest season in my entire life. I've never ever been so far away from the Lord my whole life (ever since I became His child)

But throughout this whole period, when I was far, He was near all the while. He was always there to catch me when I fall.

Whoever you are reading this. If you are going through an extremely tough situation, it only means God loves you enough to test you.

When we go through trials or hard times in our lives, it just means God plans are already in action.

If somehow it's really bad, like my wrist problem, well, it just means the devil is really afraid that God's gonna use me greatly in this area of my music.

Sometimes when I know and believe God's promises for me. I can actually jsut thank the devil for being stupid enough to attack me, to actually make me hold on all the more to God's word that says

Where sin increases. Grace superabonds. Romans 5:20

Whoever you are, the fact that you are actually reading all this, is no coincidence, because I'm sure God has just spoken to you. The Lord is a faithful God. Jesus is faithful, He is compassion, He is healing, He is life, He is your future, He is your all in all.

Everything that I Live for.

2011-01-01T17:07:00.000-08:00

Firstly wanna start of this post, Saying that I Jerome Chua Meng Ern am nothing without God. Without Christ my Saviour.

I'm really starting to see Im not a guitarist, I'm not a soccer player, I'm not anybody or anything. But soley, why I even exist, It's because of Jesus Christ. That I find purpose and meaning to living.

You know the Lord showed me, this picture.

Me with everything I can dream of, me having all the best guitars in the world with John Mayer's skill, and all the guitar greats skills and everything I can possibly dream of. Dream girl dream whatever. and it was just an amazing breath taking sight. Dream house dream scenery at the backdrop. But Jesus just wasn't in the picture.

Then there was this other picture, with me in the desert. Just a HOT DRY desert with lots of cracks in the ground.
But, But. Jesus was with me in that picture.

After that, the Lord told me, first picture, equals hell. Second picture equals, heaven.

You choose man.. What Im trying to say is, you can HAVE EVERYTHING YOU WANT>

But without the Lord, all that is just meaningless. Meaningless. Take it from Solomon, the wisest man and richest man ever alive in history.

He had 1000 dream women, a credit card that can never be used up.

But still he says he Hates life. Amazing.

God is a good God. I still know that the Lord is faithful and He will fufil His promises to me and through me.

God is a good God. You give Him what means most to you, a girlfriend, your career , your future ,

your worries. And He will definitely give you back so so much more. Amen. God bless you.

Man I love this blog. so much openess for me. Praise God.

Back.

2010-12-28T07:12:00.000-08:00

I am gonna start blogging here again because I feel more safe and more open to share down here.

yep. the tumblr blog is more for er, entertainment. yes. So back here. And will stay here till I get married and till I go heaven. This is a good blog man... haha.

2010-08-11T07:06:00.000-07:00

Dear Blogger, Thanks.

Dear Jesus, Thank you so so much.

Ok. so here's my final, last post.

God has been really faithful. I must say, that my walk right now, well, let's just say if I still was depending on my own efforts, in other words, if i was under the law,

Well let's just say I wouldn't even be blogging. My blog is really for God. People wanna read, read, dont' wanna read, dont.

But this blog was more for me. To actually share what I've received from the Lord. Yea.

God is good, he's been close to me, when I was far. He's the one always looking out for me. not the other way round.

He's been good to me. I've been a Christian, a son of God, for 4 and half years now or so.

And I must say, He's turned my life, in a great measure.

And I look foward to Him moulding me even further to be the person He wants me to be. Praise be to God. Who forgives all your sins. Who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit of destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies.

Who satisfies your mouth with good things according to your personal age and situation, so that your youth will be renewed like the eagles. Amen.

Goodbye :)

Hi, thanks for following my journey, I would say, my Poly Journey. Thanks.
If you are hungry for God's word. I guess just read my past few posts? I hope it will encourage you.

A few very important lessons I've learnt so far. (Btw, soon, yea but not this post la. Yep.)

1) Your identity is not tied up with what you do. ( I'm still learning this)

2) When you are under grace, you will not have a judgement mentality, vice versa.

3) God is good, even when you don't pray at times, He 'answers' you.

4) Friendships must be developed, through time spent.

5) My God is very very good.

Beautiful Exchange

2010-07-29T23:44:00.000-07:00

sometimes i jsut really feel my testimony as a christian really sucks. honestly im a real bad testimony to non christians who look at my life.

I need you Lord.

This will make you smile :)

2010-07-27T21:33:00.001-07:00

Must Read

2010-07-22T01:38:00.000-07:00

Hi beloved friend, the following words you are about to read,

are very precious, do take your time to read through every word k.

God really rocks.

Here goes. (from Destined to Reign pg.27-28)

Fences Around The GIFT of Righteousness

The devil has also succeed in erecting fences around the gift of righteousness. Today, conventional theology teaches you that not only is there such a thing as "positional righteousness", there is something known as "practical righteousness". They are saying that even though you were made righteous by grace, you now have to do right and keep the law to continue being righteous. They call this having "practical righteousness".

My friend, this is something the Apostle Paul never taught! There is only one righteousness in Christ Jesus. Let's see what Paul says about those who are ignorant of this righteousness.

He said, " For they being ignorant of God's righteousness [ that's what some people term 'positional righteousness'], and seeking to establish their own righteousness [ now that would be what they call 'practical righteousness'], have not submitted to the righteousness of God."

( Romans 10:3)

So it is clear that Paul is against any teaching that says that you have to earn and merit your own righteousness. You are either righteous or you are not. There is no such thing as first having "positional righteousness" and then having to maintain that through "practical righteousness". You are the righteousness of God in Christ, period!

Notice that the strategy here is to deceive the believer into believing that righteousness is something that you need to achieve by keeping the law perfectly. It all sounds very good to the flesh, but if that is so, then the promise of the gift of righteousness is completely thrown out of the window. The devil is very crafty. He has no problem with righteousness, but he wants to deceive you into pursuing your own righteousness through the law. He wants you to depend on you own self-righteousness, so he throws out the little word "gift" from the phrase "gift of righteousness". Then, he gives you false impression that you are responsible for earning your own righteousness through your own works and self-efforts, instead of depending on the finished work of Jesus.

Now please understand that I jerome chua, go through the same thing, always wanted to float back to using my own works.

But this cannot be. Your walk with Christ, is not your responsibility, technically speaking. Just rest in the Lord.

I'll continue blogging. Keep reading. My blog is dedicated for people who are hungry for God's word.

Seriously. I'm not boasting. But i just find it so hard to feed off from the Word of God in school.

SO so hard. facebook la, youtube la, online games and all.

Then i go to my friend's blogs. sometimes its nice, sometimes, i feel off, and wanna feed, i just cant. No condemnation.

We are all called to different things. Like kaka, how he brings people to Christ just by playing soccer.

Well, God bless you :) I'm not gonna blog till next week. Yep. People NEED to read this. Believers need this truth.

PS. Alex, i read your blog, and i felt so grieved, that you are not getting enough truths. This is a sorta reply to one of your earlier posts. :)

My walk is very off. But the Word of God always encourages me and brings me back to righteousness.

Thank You

2010-07-21T21:27:00.001-07:00

Thank you Lord, though I really may not see that your hand is always upon me. Thank you for the cross. Thank you for your kindness, your grace. Your love or your great plans for me.

Lord. Thank you. There is no one like you, there is no one like you God.

All my hope is in you. Jesus. Jesus. You know it Lord. You know I am nobody and nothing without you. Mould me to become the person you want me to be Lord. That's all I want. Renew me, and change my heart.

Jesus loves me

2010-07-21T06:41:00.000-07:00

Galatians 2:20.

For I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me,

the life that I live in the body I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave

himself up for me.

You know I always wondered why the Apostle Paul would actually write loved. Past tense.

Ever since I committed this verse to memory, for 4 years now, I never truly understood why He being such a great receiver would type Loved.

Why?

Haha, Praise God man, sermons really help alot. We all need constant reminding of God's word.

Ya, He used Past tense because, many a times in our lives, my life.

Especially now, I really really can't judge the love of God for me based on my current circumstance and likewise to Paul.

And you. Because circumstances change all the time. Sometimes you pray it doesn't rain, you pray for good result, shit happens to you, you get sick, life just feels like crap.

How? Go back to the cross.

That's the clearest form of God's love for us.

It doesnt make God doesnt love you now. It's just that, sometimes it is hard to draw when circumstances seem bleak around you.

That's why Paul says Loved. Though Christ loves him today, yesterday, forever. Likewise us,

Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Upon the cross. Where his face was completely disfigured. (Isaiah 52)

Beaten to a pulp, shreds of skin everywhere. Just for me. Just for you. Feed on that love he gave at the cross.

Jesus loves you.

God is good, again.

2010-07-16T20:58:00.000-07:00

Well. I'm in this stage whereby, for me, I'm learning to sit, before I walk.

You know, all of us want to do great things for God, to be used greatly for Him and By Him.

But, but, you will never be able to reach that place where God is using you mightily for His kingdom if you don't learn to sit.

Like Mary did when Martha was busy serving.

God is not against service, He is against worrisome and stressful service.

The passage in the Bible concerning that passage of Mary and Martha (Luke 10 :38) confirmed my leaving to New Creation.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Because I really couldn't receive. Nothing wrong with my church but just that on my part , I felt it was so hard receiving.

And I'm glad God is embarking me on a New and really really Bright future.

I just can't explain this Hope I am feeling right now. It's the best feeling eva.

Yesterday, I just had one of the BESTEST conversations with God the Father, ever. Ever....!!!

Wow, man... It was really better than a telephone conversation with the girl you love. haha.

It was really awesome talking to God. I just kept tearing. And yea I'll never forget yesteday.

I never had that in a long long time.

------------------------------------------------------------------

You know whoever you are reading this.
And Desire whatever I experience. you know, It's about perhaps 10 months since I've actually experienced that kinda touch I had

The only way, is to just go to Jesus.

You know, you don't need to conjure up this faith so that He will manifest.

He is there. Just go to Him. He really is right there, NEXT TO YOU RIGHT NOW! I'm serious.

I'm not being er.. Hopeful or wahtever. YOu know whatever need you have right now. Just go to him. Big or small.

Girl issues, Guy issues, friendships, relationships, family, friends, studies, health, finance, condemnation, guilt, happiness, joy, regret, rejection, pain, loneliness, uncertainty about the future.

God knows you. He knows you by name. And

remember what I said at the start.

------------------------------------------------------------------

We all wanna do Great things for God. But you must learn to Receive and sit at His feet before you can actually serve :)

God is with you. Just as surely Christ died for you !!!!

Thank you Jesus for loving me. Thank you that you have a great future and plan for me Lord. I just praise You. Because you care for me. And that you love me so so much. Bless me even as I go for the youth service. Bless me with favor, your love, and your presence and a soft and open heart. In the name of Jesus', I pray. AMEN.

God is good, all the time, God is good.

2010-07-09T07:50:00.000-07:00

Praise God.

How timely at the age of 19.

My identity was tested.

Soccer my priced possesion, my childhood gift, and then music a gift from God(both are gifts)

Both, not in good shape. I can't do anything about it. Well, praise God.

You know, what is your identity. Who are you?

I'm not asking WHAT you do. But WHO Are you really. Is it what people say? Or what God the one who created YOU says. :)

Well.. It was initially so hard for me to not get used not owning like mad in soccer. Cause everyone has improved and I have deproved by alot.

And my guitar. At the peak of my playing and learning, I had an injury.

But praise God through all these. God is bringing me to a greater and newer level of intimacy, confidence, hope, faith, and security.

When God restores, He always RESTORES SO MUCH MORE. AMEN!

:) Really so happy right now to know God is with me and always will be.

I believe even as I rest in the Lord He will make my paths straight.

My trust is in you O Lord. Let me not be put to shame.
Thank you Jesus that you are with me and not against. Thank you for your grace.

Your grace is truly more than enough for me O Lord.

and my security and trust is in you Lord. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen!

2010-07-08T01:10:00.000-07:00

The Lord is my shepherd.
I shall not be in want.
He makes me to lie down in the green pastures.
He leads me besides the quiet waters,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Even though I, I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
I will fear no evil.

For you are with me.
Your rod, your staff they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me, in the presence of my enemies.
You annoint my head with oil
my cup overflows.

Surely, surely, surely, goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life.
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever.

Jerome.

2010-07-06T07:17:00.000-07:00

Jesus, I need you Lord. Defend me and uphold me Lord. I am nothing without you.

And I give my life to you once again. Lord. Use it for your Glory.

-

2010-06-07T08:25:00.000-07:00

Well, its really all about God.

But. Things really do suck when you arent close to him. Which is the state im in.

worst of all is i dun really have friends to back me up. Most of them in NS.

But yea. its a struggle and lesson i have to learn, that only Jesus and His word
is where you get that source of belonging.

--------------------------------------------

I'm starting to see that you can never give, without first having received.

Let's say you received 50 bucks, you most prob won't give it all away.

You need to receive like a 1000 bucks before 50 is easy to give away.

So as you can see. if you wanna love somebody, as hollywood or any show or your perception of love is.

Think about how much love there is..involved...

I'm still puzzled by the fact that, yea, this life truly is supposed to be effortless.

I dunno how many of u can agree to that.

But it's true nonetheless.

Effortless, ok, at least for the Christian life.

When i say effortless, it's like Peter walking on the water, he didn't have to balance himself, to walk on water, he just needed that Faith to step out.

And faith is nothing more than just looking to Jesus. IT's NOTHING MORE. nothing less.

It's just looking to the beauty of Jesus. That's all.

STOP COMPLICATING THINGS FOR YOURSELF>

How to look to Jesus u might ask... Well. The Word. If not sermons. No choice. It's a war out here.

------------------------------------------

I sound like a hypocrite because it's been a while since i've read the Word properly. yea.

BTW, you should never in anyway feel condemned reading all that Im typing.

Saying all these as an encouragement. I wonder how many people actually get to this part of the blog post.

But still I'll cont typing.

There really is no other way to hear from God, other than from His word.

*When you listen to sermons, MAKE SURE, MAKE SURE, that whatever the pastor is preaching from is from The Bible, and not quoted out of context.

When I mean context, it's not just the physicality of the phrases and words, physicality as in, the literal form itself.

But what the BIBLE is trying to teach then and there at that point of time. At that exact story.

Dun take out for example. Jesus said to Peter " from now on you will be a fisher of men " and say. OK GUYS LET"S GO EVANGELISE>

Ok.. if you're still reading, im truly impressed. you cant say that.

Ok, if u dun believe me, how many of u, with the listening of thousands of messages of evangelism are actually doing it??

NO CONDEMNATION PLEASE.

You see, even IF you did, are you doing it out of a heart that wants to, or HAS to. HAS to because you know time is running out, GOOD. PRAISE GOD.

BUt if it's because you wanna impress God. You're on the wrong side of the coin.

God still loves you btw.

Ok with all that being said. My point is that. You wanna quote stuff from the Bible, do it from start to end.

Peter received the blessings of God and KNEW that Jesus was special and KNEW that He was somebody you know, you just will know la.

Now please ah, I feel evangelism is important. BTW... er... i just checked biblegateway.

Surprisingly, there's no word for evangelism. Hmm...

I'm totally not against evangelism.

It's jsut that I feel when you categorize the things of God. It starts becoming a Chapter, a Method, A doctrine.

Which I do believe is not what God wants.

You can't TRULY seperate evanglism and worship.

How can you? Evangelism is a subset of worship.

Evangelism is an outflow of receiving HIS grace.

Evangelism is Christianity.

Giving thanks is Christianity.

Grace is Christianity.

As pastors all around the world says, the big diff Christianity has over any other religion is GRACE.

You don't need the Holy Spirit to teach you the law, if you did, THAT MEANS ALL OTHER RELIGIONS HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT.

hmm... something to think about.

Goodnight. Thanks for reading.

As the Deer

2010-05-30T07:37:00.000-07:00

I feel great. Listening to the word of God. Wow. That's no greater joy.

You know, I'm starting to look foward or perhaps if I may say, getting excited to get persecuted.

You know when you know grace. People who rely so much on their self effort, will not be happy.

haha that means most of us, including me. So yea, Grace vs Law.

-----------------------------------

Anyways...

I thank God for his love for me. His grace and truth. Brothers and sisters, just urge you,

if you are a believer in Christ Jesus. I pray that you would stop relying on your own self effort, in other words, stop worrying, and trust God. Start trusting his love.

You know in 1 Peter, there's a verse that says, cast all your cares to the Lord, BECAUSE he cares for you.

The only reason why you don't cast your cares to the Lord, it's because you do not know how much He really loves you and cares for you.

So if you could, find material. Find material that opens your eyes to see Jesus' loveliness.

I must say God, my God, has been faithful,

though I haven't played the guitar for so long, now and when I do try to play e guitar, well, my skills hasn't detoriated, whats more is that I've improved.

Amazing. Amazing stuff. You know when you start to trust God. Your weight, your body, your studies,

It all falls into place. More than that, it gets better. God is a good God. He is rich in mercy and compassion.

He wants to bless you. And yea, whatever your desire is, be it being thin, losing weight, studies, relationship with parents, girlfriend boyfriend.

Would you just commit it to God.

BUT... I know, you, dear reader, it's hard, Because you are NOT in control.

So yea, find out how much God cares for you.

It'll be Easier.

---------------------------

Testimony time.

I did not for one moment worry about my baby niece.

She's coming back. I love my niece dearly. I really do. And yea, when she left.

I did cry and all. But in my heart, never did I worry.

God is a God of restoration. If he doesn't restore the same person.

BECAUSE God is a God of restoration, who always many times more.

He will restore to you what you have lost, believer, brother or sister.

If it's somebody you lost. He may or may not restore the same person, if He does, he or she is gonna be much better than before,

if it's something, God is gonna restore it in quality and quantity. HALLELUJAH!!!

That's our God.

This is our God.

My God. Who loves you. and me.

God bless you :)

This song below is my desire.

Take all of Me.

2010-05-24T06:29:00.000-07:00

I guess e decision is becoming clearer. And I thank God for that.

You know I'd gladly give up playing my guitar just to be in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

I finally realized that what I truly wanted or I mean who I truly wanted was God all the while.

Thank God for the desire. It's been 7 months since I've played the guitar properly. I'm still resting and I am not the least worried that I'll detorirate.

Because God is a God of restoration. And when He restores, He always restores twice or more in quantity or in quality or both, God is a good God.

Thank God for my friends in NS, I'm starting to appreciate them more.

Yea. Sometimes seperation is good. You start to appreciate.

I guess that's why God doesnt make a move sometimes. haha im sure u get wad i mean.

Thank God that He is always patient and even when we aren't close to Him, he still helps us and showers us with blessings, how good is our God? Even when you are not close to Him, He still LOVES YOU!!!

Jesus Loves me. The word of God tells me so.

Wow.

2010-05-16T19:05:00.001-07:00

Thank you Lord

2010-05-12T06:04:00.000-07:00

I guess as time goes by it really seems like I should leave.

Really just trusting God for the next few months. I'm excited to see what God wants to do.

But there in lies a new chapter to my life. I'm not very sure what will happen but I just really know and believe God is with me and things are gonna work out just fine whatever it is.

I thank God for His grace for me.

Living with my guardian, it's really tough. But to know that God has forgiven me. A great big sinner. well it's really no problem forgiving my guardian too.

I just feel that irritated feeling. Which yea, it's normal. :)

Well. School's fine. slow pace for now. Thank God for my role. It's not really slack I would say.

But yea it's good enough,

It's funny you know how life works. how God works.

When we have too much free time it does not necessarily mean that, life is gonna be good, and that peace is there.

No school work is not equals to peace and joy.

It's really what you choose during those circumstances.

Somehow, Sadly, I found out the times I was closest to God is when I was heart broken, and really feeling useless.

God's power really works in our weaknesses when we choose to just accept the fact that we are NOTHING.

THink about this.

Well, God is good. You gotta admit that. One thing I learnt after a few years walking with Jesus is that.

Truthfully, as in not honestly, but in REAL actual fact. the fact is.

All the good things we have in life. IS GRACE IN ITSELF.

Why do I say this? Because for those of us who are Christians.

Do you pray for journey mercy EVERYTIME?

Obviously not. Yet why are you protectected? why doesn't there seem to be accidents EVEN When you dont pray?

NOW PLEASE, IM NOT SAYING DO NOT PRAY.

I'm saying these are blessings in our daily life. We DONT see at all. But it truly is a blessing.

You know wherever and whoever you are and may be.

My God, Jesus, really is a good God, I'm not promoting a sales good that has worked for me and suits my needs.

He is real. And He cares for you. He loves you.

Ok, yea, anyway I've just been growing. Just trusting that He loves me despite of my circumstance.

I believe God wants to heal me. And I receive that, Jesus. Help me not to depend on my works to try to deserve your blessings O Lord. But let me. Help me, to depend solely on and in your finished work. Help me Lord. Help me not to be self-righteous but to be Christ-conscious all the days of my life. Help me Lord.

Help me to receive what you have already died to give me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Dear Jesus

Hi, recently my walk hasnt been well. But I've been starting to see that when we are still so far away from God, His hand is just right beside us, leading us.

Yea no matter how far you might seem, or God might seem, He's there.

You know it wasn't Jacob who wrestled with God.

That makes it sound as though Jacob was trying to change God's mind.

It was God who wrestled with Jacob. ( Gen 32:24)

It is us whom needs to be changed. To know that God wants to bless us.

Not the other way round whereby we are always begging God for blessings.

Anyway, project is harsh, and im excited, every new challenge. gives God an opportunity to show how much he cares for me unconditional on my part.

I've failed him a thousand times, actually, I'm sure I've failed him more than a million times. Much more than that.

Thank you Lord for the heavy cross. Where would I be without you Lord.

Life truly is meaningless without you and your presence. I miss you Lord. And I thank you Lord that despite what I'm feeling Lord. You're right here, yes, reading what I'm typing. thank you that you have promised to NEVER leave me nor Forsake me. Never. Never ever. Thank you Jesus for loving me.

I cant really feel you right now. But I know that you are working. and I trust in you Lord. Thank you for loving me.

Rest

2010-04-15T08:56:00.000-07:00

I just wanna say that God is faithful, even when we are faithless.

1 Kings 5:4- "The Lord my God has given me rest on every side, SO that there is neither adversary not evil confronting me."

God is really a good God that has plans not to harm you, but to prosper you.

Remain in HIS finished work. And you'd be amazed at the results.

There is no greater work than His work at the cross, where all our sins
and our diseases put away.

You can't add to a FINISHED work. No amount of works will cut it.

Rest :)

Jesus loves me. Hallelujah!

None but Jesus

You Bled

2010-04-02T06:46:00.000-07:00

Hi guys I will not be updating for a while. The next time I update, I promise I will post a video of myself playing guitar and also change my whole look of e blog.

It has been really tough going through a period whereby I can't play music as expressively as used to but I know Jesus died and HE HIMSELF carried my diseases and carried my pains.

So yep, please do pray for me, really need prayers. I don't know but, Thank God he is with me throughout all this, i really dun understand why up till now I'm not healed. But I know Jesus loves me, and I can da han. Please pray for me. Thank you :)

This video I post is entitled - You Bled. It's an amazing song. It's been a year plus since I've heard such a great Christian song. It is Christ Exalting, therefore, to me it's really a great song.

Don't take my word for it. Listen to it. Read the lyrics. sing along with it. It's a powerful song.

God bless Rend Collective Experiment, may they be more famous for the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Till then. See you guys. Thanks. Please watch e video ;)

YOU BLED YOUR HEART OUT

Now I feel love beat in my chest

How wonderful

You gave Your beauty

In exchange for my ugliness

How wonderful

You left your perfection

And embraced our rejection

How marvellous, how boundless
Is Your love, is Your love
How wonderful, sacrificial
Is Your love for me

You put on our chains

Sent us out through the open door

How wonderful

You took our sadness

Crowned us with joy and real peace

How wonderful

You left Your perfection

And fought for our redemption

Yes Jesus loves me

How wonderful

Yes Jesus loves me

This is love

You gave Yourself

Galatians 3:55 "Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?... "

Imagine that you are at a healing service. An alcoholic walks into the church reeking of alcohol. He sits behind the pianist, a nice elderly lady who has been serving in the church for 50 years. Both of them are suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.

The healing power of God is present. In an instant, the alcoholic, who has never been in church before, gets healed. The pianist does not.Most people, on hearing stories like this, would get upset and confused.

They might ask, “Shouldn’t God heal this nice, old lady who has been serving Him faithfully all these years, and not that debauched drunkard?” You see, many people still believe that God heals only the deserving.But that is not how God works.

God looks at faith, not works. His power is made manifest in those who trust His goodness instead of their good behavior. So if we go back to the above example, God wants to heal both the alcoholic and the nice elderly pianist.

All they need to do is to receive by grace, or unmerited favor, through faith.You see, we cannot earn the blessings of God. We receive them by believing God’s love and grace toward us.

If we receive the greatest blessing — salvation — by simply believing that Jesus did it all for us and not by working for it, what makes us think that the other lesser blessings can be obtained by our works?

So if my daughter Jessica falls sick, I don’t go to the Father and say, “Father, heal my daughter because I am Pastor Joseph Prince and I preach healing to the people.”

No, I go to Him by the blood of Jesus and say, “Father, I thank You that 2,000 years ago, Jesus bore Jessica’s sickness in His body. On that basis alone and by Your grace, I pronounce her healed in Jesus’ name.”When you simply believe that you receive your blessings based on Jesus’ finished work and by His grace alone, you will receive your blessings!

you took my place and showed me grace

2010-03-29T08:44:00.001-07:00

Praise God. Thank u for praying.

Yea really back with God. But as usual, he drew me back.

All I had to do was sit. Ironically, sitting sounds easy, but not many of us can do that.

But that's all that's needed. That's all that's needed for God to actually come into your room, into your heart.

It's called rest.

Observe the gospels, and just notice that. On Sabbath day, a day of rest for the Jews.

It's on this rest day, that Jesus did many miracles. Like the man with the withered arm.

Strangely,

God's economy isnt like the worlds.

To sum it up. World's economy. "Don't just stand there, DO SOMETHING."

God's, : "Don't just do something, Stand there! "

Red sea. Good example. Exodus 14:13 " Moses told the people, Fear not; stand still (firm, confident, undismayed) and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians you have seen today you shall never see again."

That's all. And one of the greatest miracles of all time occurred.

Truly it's all about Jesus, none of us. All the glory must go to Christ.

ok about time i blogged a little about my life? lol. I dunno la. But truly man. My life is really about just living for Christ. I really am nothing without him

I have NO passion to do anything other than for him. Music or soccer don't mean a hill of beans without Christ as the center.

Friendships dun mean a thing, without Christ. As in. ah.. you get wad i mean. yea.

------------------------

Thank God for giving me more poly friends and a good FYP group. Favor man.

Alright so all Glory to God. I got a GPA of.... 3.65!!!!

Man, shocked to see that la. Really grace. I did work hard. But his grace gave me an unexpected result.

Today's soccer was good. More importantly. God stopped the rain for me.

I'm really gonna say God stopped the rain for me because. It was drizzling.

And I was just listening to a sermon on the undeserved favor of God.

So i began confessing that because God favors me.

He is going to stop the rain for me like how Jesus could stop a storm.

So God would do the same for me. And praise God. It really didn't rain at all.

Mund can be my witness that it was still a little cloudy and even Neo said it might rain.

Now please I'm not putting a feather to my cap.

It's really by grace that I know His grace.

I'm very thankful for mund that God is opening his eyes to see God's grace.

I really am. Thank you mund. Just those simple smses u sent me.

Showed me that at least God was working in my friend's life. Always put a smile to my face, even when I was far from God.

You know I was so mad at God. I really scolded him, sad to say. But I did.

I did wrong things, worst of all, I just ignored God totally.

But his Amazing grace really super exceeds sin. (Romans 5:20)

Thank God for caleb's life too. God is really working in your life. Thank God for that.

I'm sure you, in that i mean, alden, alex, lincoln. God is working in your lives. Do share with me la.

Yea, as in lol, small thing also just share if you're willing, since you guys dun blog much or as often as I do.

God is really such a great God. I really can't express this feeling. I really really feel so high, with God.

His love really knows no boundaries.

Guys, Jesus really did so much for you,

Don't say he did it for the whole world. YES he did. But personalise that love for you.

Like how the sun is shining on every blade of grass on a field, when you put a magnifying glass over a blade of grass, the blade burns.

Like wise, personalize that love. Just really thank the Lord in every small thing, believing that truly nothing is by coincidence.

-------------------

Like for me, whenever e bus comes, i'll just thank the Lord for that favour. yea.

small things like that, really just pleases the Lord.

God bless you. thanks for reading. :)

your Name

2010-03-26T22:10:00.000-07:00

your name, is a strong and mighty tower

your name, is a shelter like no other

your name, let the nations sing it louder

cause nothing has the power to save,

but your name.

New season of my life once again.

perhaps of brokeness perhaps of breakthrough.

feeling pretty lost right now. there's just so much happening to me.

i feel really discouraged right now.

my whole family is.

and yea. it ain't easy. just to tell you guys

my little baby niece wont be staying with me already. she and her mom left already. yea

but im fine with that, just that. my home seems a little bit emptier.

and i still cant really play my music.

so it' just a trying time for me.

pray for me if u could. thanks.

Jesus, the name above all other names.

2010-03-26T08:06:00.000-07:00

Powerful song. Powerful name. Most powerful name.

REDEEMED

2010-03-22T05:40:00.000-07:00

Praise the Lord. Man, what a blast.

I know have typed this many times. But I know for sure, without a doubt, that by His stripes. I am healed. full stop. No if, no buts, no etc.

Think about this. This is what God showed me. And I really just cried.

You see God, the God that created the heavens and the earth,

sent His one and only begotten Son,

So that I might be redeemed from the curse of the law. (Gal 3:13)

He who went through the scourging of the Romans,

(remember he came to die for those who scourged him too)

imagine your parents/ loved ones whipping you with hate and enjoyment

He went through ALL THAT, ALL THAT.

WATCH THE PASSION. and you can dare think or say God wants to teach you a lesson by making you wait.

I think this is outrageous to the work of Jesus Christ.

HE WENT THROUGH SO MUCH JUST FOR YOU.

for me.

Ok think about this.

Which is greater,

To be saved from hell, or to be saved from AIDS.

Come on. Yes you're getting it(btw im speaking to myself also)

Ok, follow me, follow me, yes continue reading.

If Christ Jesus can save you from hell, just with ONE PRAYER.

One sincere prayer in the name of JESUS. Sets you free from the chains of Satan and hell. IMMEDIATELY

YOU ARE TRANSFERED FROM DEATH TO LIFE.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK WHEN YOU PRAY LORD,

I BELIEVE BY YOUR STRIPES I AM HEALED

WILL YOU NOT RECEIVE YOUR HEALING.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS POWERFUL I DID NOT RECEIVE IT OUT OF BRAINS

BUT THIS IS REVELATION!!!!!!!!!!

JESUS LOVES ME :) THIS I KNOW FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.

come on guys, it's time to receive all that Jesus paid.

dont let his work be in vain

and out of that overflow of His grace and blessings will you only be able to spread the Gospel (evangelise)

there's no other way but to FIRST experience His love and grace :) :)

I'm darn happy and blessed. This the devil can never take.

This is the the word of God.

This is Our God. God bless you !!

New Chapter, New Season

2010-03-10T17:07:00.001-08:00

Well, I'm entering a new phase in my life where it feels I'm all alone.

I have great friends out there who do care for me and are willing to help me. But some stuffs, or right now, most, do I have to go through them alone.

I was really struggling once again whether or not to change church, and this is what the Lord spoke to me through His word.

This word was given without me having the bible in my hands, it just popped out.

It's in Mark 5:18-20: "As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. ¹⁹Jesus did not let him, but said, "Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you." ²⁰So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.

Yep, those who have eyes to read, read. Pretty obvious. Well.

Then again, like last week. Struggled again.

But yep Caleb was there, thank God for him. God kinda used him to reaffirm His word to me. He also gave me this verse.

Btw, this verse, I anyhow flip open. (sounds very erm, coincidental/ spiritual)

but it's not. God IS real, it is not spiritual when things like these happen, God works in our realm too alright.

-------------------------------

Isa 41:10-13

¹⁰ So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

¹¹ "All who rage against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
will be as nothing and perish.

¹² Though you search for your enemies,
you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you
will be as nothing at all.

¹³ For I am the LORD, your God,
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.

Yep, what an affirmation by God. That whole chunk is really a promise from God to me. It's the first page I turned to, first chunk where my eyes looked at.

Now about the new phase which I am going through.

I just came out of a really trying but fun season of just trusting God for my wrist.

I have not played e guitar Properly for 4 months now.

Now that's a long time. It really felt like cold turkey at times. Frustration and all.

-----------------------

Now it's soccer, well, I must say I was never this lousy. Never this slow.

But I know the Lord is putting me through a season.

First guitar and now soccer, 2 things which I will say I place higher than many many other things in life.

Maybe higher than friends, lol, if it can be higher than God at times, den I don't see why not friends.

Why I say friends, well, you do know when you want them to say you're good or not. Basically you're affected when people say stuffs about you.

Yep. Anyway, thank God for putting me through this season.

It may not be as hard emotionally or physically .

But to trust God that he would pull me out of this is really hard.

Because I never struggled with my body before

maybe my knees, but now it's my WHOLE body that needs a miracle or a breakthrough.

And only Jesus Christ can provide that.And for me. I've decided to trust Him to help me lose my fats, help me to gain strength and to restore all that I've lost.

Last note.

For whoever you are, Do YOu KNOW?

When God restores. He restores SO MUCH MORE. So many times in the bible when he restores, wow, ah just look at Job. And there are many other times in the Bible when restores. He always RESTORES MORE IN QUANTITY AND QUALITY!!!

SO YEP! IM EXCITED. WHEN MY WRIST IS FULLY ABLE TO PLAY WELL AGAIN (BOTH SOCCER AND GUITAR) THAT'S IT. IM SHINING FOR CHRIST.

NO STOPPING ME, NOT EVEN THE DEVIL OR HUMAN.

IF GOD IS FOR ME, WHO CAN BE AGAINST ME. PRAISE THE LORD.

Thank you Jesus for loving me!!!! :) Thank you, for reading.

God is Not Judging you

2010-03-04T16:39:00.000-08:00



Romans 8:33 33Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
Some people see God as a judge who has exacting demands on man. When they fall short or when things go wrong in their lives, they think that God is judging them. My friend, the truth is that if you are a believer, God does not bring any charge against you. Instead, He justifies you because of the blood of His Son. In fact, God’s Word goes on to say that the One who has the right to condemn you, chose instead to die for you and is risen at the Father’s right hand to be your righteousness! (Romans 8:34) But what the devil tries to do is to get you to believe that God watches you with a critical eye and punishes you when you do wrong. He has deceived many sincere Christians into believing that if they have done something wrong, sickness or some other evil thing has a right to come upon them and their families. And when these things happen, he convinces them that they are suffering God’s judgment because of their wrongdoings. In the meantime, these sincere Christians struggle with condemnation because they think that they are the cause of their problems. Nothing could be further from the truth. Ever since the cross, where Jesus was judged in your place for every one of your wrong actions, thoughts and words, God no longer judges you, His child. You need not accept condemnation or evil things happening to you because Jesus took all your punishment at the cross. So when you start to feel condemned for your actions or when you experience negative circumstances, say, “It is written: It is God who justifies me. I am completely forgiven and made righteous before Him. I refuse to accept any condemnation and I reject every symptom of the curse that I am seeing in my circumstances!” Then, simply stand on the truth of God’s Word, and watch Him deliver and bless you!

Dear Lord,

2010-02-28T05:40:00.000-08:00

Hey Jesus,

Thank you for your faithfulness to me for the past month, haha, though technically you've been faithful to me since you've existed.

I'm writing this to you, because I know you'd read every word. And treasure every single word.

Truly there is nothing else that could satisfy what you have created for yourself to fill.

Nothing, no one, will ever be able to fill up that space which you have ordained for me since I was created by you.

I really await to seeing you face to face. Thank you for this life on earth. Thank you that though it's a test, it's an easy one. It's like a test in which the results are already full marks.

But I just have to walk through it. So that everytime I encounter a problem I can always turn to you. Thank you for you word to me.

Truly I am highly favored by you. Thank you so much for your amazing grace.

Thank you Lord for your loving kindness.

It is really greater than life.

Thank you for taking my place at the cross. Thank you that as far as you are concerned my past,present and future sins are all settled at the cross. Because when you died, I was not yet born, but you paid for it all then.

Praise you Lord, for your omni-presence, you really a great God. And I give thanks to you Lord. Thank you that when all else fails, you'll always, always be there.

You'll never leave me nor forsake me as your Word says. You are truly my friend forever. I really await to seeing you face to face. There's no greater joy than just imagining that, it's more beautiful than imagining seeing my wife, whoever she is. But Lord. Truly you are more beautiful than anything i've ever imagined.

There's truly none like you. None but you. I commit all that I have into your hands Lord. All my gifts, all my talents, all that I am, that little that I have, that 5 loaves and 2 fish, I give to you. Multiply it for your glory. Thank you Jesus for loving me. Thank you so so much. In your name Lord, the name above all other names, I pray. Amen. Thank you Jesus :)

Update

2010-02-24T03:53:00.000-08:00

Ok I wanna start off this post by saying this.

If you, Believer, are not righteous because of what you did. ( 2 Cor 5:21 )

How can you become unrighteous because of what you do/did/are going to do?

Well you cant. Jesus paid for all your sins. You are forever righteous when you accept him

personally as your Lord and Savior. (Hebrews 8-10) Have a good read (Y) <--- first time im using this.

---------------------------------------------

Okay. so just an update of my life. yes.

Firstly. I mean secondly. I wanna say and proclaim that God, my God, the one who created you. and the heavens and the earth.

Yes, He does answer prayers, no matter how insignificant I might seem.

Thirdly, God does not bless you. whoever you are. Based on what you have done.

ZERO percent of what you have done, are doing, or are gonna do. HUNDRED percent based on the finished work of Christ.

---------------------------------------

Thanks Caleb and all those who prayed. Yea things are better now at home.

No divorce. Praise God. A miracle in itself.

Second miracle. I, Jerome Chua Meng Ern, am completely completely healed by His stripes.

haha. Yes I am healed. Praise God.

Even if I still arent(which is technically,physically,literally impossible in God's sight, because of what Jesus Christ has done for me on the cross)

I am still going to confess and say it as I have on Facebook, and some previous posts.

Because that IS the truth, im not trying to psych myself up to believe it.

It is the truth. Why? Because it is written. In the Word of God. and the word of God is truth.

Well... let's say I'm not healed. Yes. well that is a fact. BUT not the truth.

Big difference right there.

------------------------------------------

Fact : Temporal
Truth : Eternal

You see facts are real, but they aren't truth.

For example, a magic trick.

It is based on illusion. Well imagine me inserting the card into the middle of the deck.

Your SIGNED CARD. YOU PUSH IT IN, YOU SEE IT GO INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE DECK

. Poof, it goes right back to the top with just a wave.

To you it's magic. IT"S REAL!!!!

But the TRUTH, which I, the magician, knows, obviously, is based on illusion.

You may think it's real, but the TRUTH IS, IT'S FAKE. BECAUSE IT ISN'T THE TRUTH.

PUT IT SIMPLY.

What may seem real to you is fake(does not exist to me) to me.

Like wise, when there are sickness,pains, diseases in our bodies, it is real.

But we have to see what Jesus/God sees.

And when God sees what we see, THAT IS FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Praise God. totally not me, btw i didnt spend a second thinking about that illustration. Not that im smart. It's called grace.

-------------------------------------

God is great. I really thank God for my friends.

I'm really glad beyond words to see them experiencing God's grace in their lives,

namely: Edmund, Caleb, Lincoln and Alex and Jeremy.

They may not know it(not saying they don't)

but even when you are using your own strength to study, to do work, or whatever.

Grace is there for you, why?

Because you DO know the grace of God. You cannot escape it.

You know in essence law means: You, human being, hold on to God's word, obey, if not be cursed. U find this all over the place under the old covenant. Unless they offer sacrifices, which are pictures of Christ's perfect sacrifices.

Grace means : Son/Daughter, I love you. Even when you blow it, even when you don't. Even when you don't recognise me. I still love you. I can bless you Not because you deserve it, solely based on the work of Christ. In other words. : I, God, will hold on to you no matter what.

--------------------------

Man blogging rocks. What a way to share what I've receive through the Word of Christ!!!

God bless you. :)))))

You Brought Me Home

2010-02-21T01:07:00.000-08:00

Pray for my family. Especially those of you who know my little cute niece.

Yea, her parents are going through a very rough patch. But I'm just excited to see what Jesus is gonna do.

Rest in You

2010-02-16T05:49:00.000-08:00

I was trying to type something ate the start. But I just felt, I really couldn't. I'm not feeling too alright now. Just now felt a little isolated. But much better now, finding my place in Christ.

But my wrist injury still bugs me. It's healed. No pain. But I just can't really play e guitar

just at the moment.

And I can only rest in the Lord. Finding my place and security of His word and what He has done for me.

Not what I've done. Not what I've Not done enough. But because of His finished work at the cross of Calvary.

This is where I find my rest in Christ. He bore my sickness and pains. And he took upon Himself my sins.

This is where I rest. At the cross. In Christ.

He is Greater

2010-02-13T01:53:00.000-08:00

God is AT WORK! Be at Rest!

2010-02-09T06:20:00.000-08:00

Thank you JESUS!!!! AHHHH... Peace at last.

You see all the peace that we need is already there, you cannot say please send me healing.

It already was sent 2000 plus years ago when Jesus died, Jesus IS your healing!!!

By His stripes, WE ARE HEALED!!!

Like wise all the peace we ever needed has been left behind by Jesus, his very own peace.

That peace where when he fell asleep in a boat, and there was squall. The disciples had to go and wake Jesus up, in the midst of A STORM!! THAT PEACE!!!

That peace Jesus left us. It is found in John 14:27.

Praise the Lord.

I have to proclaim this.

By His stripes I AM HEALED! I REALLY AM HEALED!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM HEALED!!!!

THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR PRAYERS.

THANK YOU JESUS FOR PRAYING FOR ME.

THANK YOU JESUS FOR PAYING FOR MY HEALING.

THANK YOU JESUS FOR BEING THAT SACRIFICE SO THAT MY PRAYERS WILL AVAIL TO GOD.

THANK YOU DADDY FOR SENDING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON TO DIE FOR MY SINS AND TO BEAR MY DISEASES.

Man, it's a miracle. 8th Feb 2010. Praise the Lord. God just healed me yesterday. Praise the Lord.

Not because of what I've done. solely by HIS GRACE. Really. in fact I committed many sins before I was healed, even after. But Jesus is great.

It is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance.

Romans 2:4b" ...God's kindness leads you toward repentance".

Read in context.

************you have to read this

Wow, anyway God just spoke to me strongly. I really just leapt when I heard and received God telling me.

I was listening to a sermon. Entitled Live the Let Go Life. By Pastor Prince. Well. I am not going to defend him, Jesus is his defender. And He definitely is mine as well.

Okay, Here goes...

Remember when baby Jesus was just born in Bethlehem.

The devil must have known that Jesus has come into the world.

Remember there are angels/evil spirits all around us. They do exist.

Anyway. When the devil saw the Increase in the activity of angels.

The devil must have suspected something.

SO what did he do? Matthew 2:13. he instigated King Herod to kill every child below the age of 2.

But lo and behold, God always provides a way, he always, always makes a way.

He sent an angel to inform Joseph to flee to Egypt. So that Jesus would be safe.

Keep reading.

How God spoke to me...

Just as how my wrist was attacked. and I must highlight. WAS.

So too know that, I am going to use you greatly for me in playing the guitar.

And the devil knows this. Because of the annointing that you have on your wrist.

And the devil tried. BUT NOW I AM HEALED!!! AND ACCORDING TO THE PRINCIPLES AND CHARACTER OF GOD, MY LORD.

WHEN HE RESTORES, HE RESTORES GREATER IN QUALITY AND QUANTITY!!!!

Not trying to say im gonna have another hand but yea. It's going to be greater in quality!!

PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE PROMISE GOD HAS GIVEN TO ME. AND IM GONNA SHOUT IT FROM THE TOP OF ROOFS AND AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS.

I'M GONNA SHOW IT JUST BY GLORIFYING HIM WITH WHAT I HAVE AND EVERYTIME I TOUCH E GUITAR.

PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!

THANK YOU JESUS!!!

I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

2010-02-07T06:07:00.000-08:00

v17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them;

he delivers them from all their troubles.

v18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves

those who are crushed in the spirit.

v19 A righteous man may have have many troubles,

but the LORD delivers him from all;

he protects all his bones,

not one of them will be broken.

Psalm 34:17-19

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that

in him we might become the righteousness of God.

2 Corinthians 5:21

For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed,

a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,

just as it is written:

"The righteous will live by faith."

Romans 1:17

Christ is the end of the law so that there may

be righteousness for everyone who believes.

Romans 10:4

What A Friend I've Found

2010-01-30T09:14:00.000-08:00

Thank you Jesus for touching my heart today. Thank you for renewing my heart.

Just talked to Alex. Great talk. Covered every thing.

played soccer in the morning. Thank God for what I have.

Really just broke down in the room after so long. never really cried to The Lord for so long.

I just cried mainly because of how far I've been away from the Lord.
But I thank God that you know, He is faithful, He is good. And He never fails.

My friends, I really love them. Really care for them.

But good as my friends are. None can compare to the friend that I've found. In Jesus.

I think this is important, because even when we get married. We can't totally rely on our spouse for the strength. But Jesus must be the third party. The center of the marriage.

Or for sure it'll never work out.

Why? Because God created it this way. Just like all of us. We were created in such a way, only the Lord of Lord, the King of Kings can fill us. No other way.

Not even a girl, not even e closest friend. Yea. Something I'm learning.

thank you Jesus, for the annointing oil, the bread and the wine. Thank you for your body, your shed blood and the oil. Thank you Lord, for choosing me, thank you Lord. Thank you for the favour you have poured out unto my life Lord. Please continue doing the good work in my life Lord. Completely Heal my wrist. I pray all these in your Son's most precious name. Amen!

Romans 8:31
31 "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"

Are you faced with challenges in your life right now? Are you having marital problems and financial woes? Maybe your child is going astray or an old illness has returned. What then will you say to all these things?

Do you know what God wants you to say? He wants you to say, “If God is for me, who can be against me?”

If you knew that the President or the Prime Minister was for you, you might believe that everything will be okay. But you have an even better backing! The Bible tells us that God, the Almighty, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, is for you! What problem can fasten its grip on you when the Almighty God is for you? Can the devil come successfully against you with God on your side?

If God is for you today, if God is for you right now, you don’t have to moan, “If only I had this… If only I didn’t say that…” And you don’t have to worry about the future: “What if this happens… What if we don’t have enough…” My friend, regretting the past and worrying about the future won’t change anything. Look to your heavenly Father, instead. Because He is for you at this present moment, you can be confident that He will help you and provide for you.

Beloved, God sent His Son to die for you. And Jesus gave you a blood-bought right to an abundant life full of meaning and purpose! He gave you a blood-bought right to walk in divine health all the days of your life! He gave you a blood-bought right to prosperity even when the economy goes down!

You have all these things not because you deserve them, but because Jesus shed His blood and gave you the right to have them. All these blessings are yours today because God is for you! And if God is for you, who can be against you :)

Jesus is a faithful God. 21/01/10 11:00PM

Firstly wanna start by really thanking you, for praying for me. Yes you, I mean if you did la. Thank you so much, really. I guess I roughly know who? But yes I thank you. If you think I know that you prayed for me. Then yes, I thank you. Yep. you.

Okay. Wanna thank Alden, and Alex for helping me with my project, I finally finished filming.....

Praise the LORD.

I like filming, just it's pretty stressing if you're taking the job of everyone. But it was good. yea. Thank God for my friend Dave too.

--------------- ------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------

Ok, I haven't been blogging for awhile. Really busy and also just no mood.

Really no mood at all. Now I have it. Haha. Actually I love this blog. It's really gonna be a very very nice book to read next time when I look back. Or if there is access to the Internet in heaven.

Well. Who knows, hopefully there's LAN gaming? haha. cause we definitely can't play CS in real live.

------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------

Really wanna praise the Lord for completely healing my wrist. It's really been a while. I finally touched the guitar today, could play it.

You know whatever the Lord, restores, he restores it so much more.

It's true. Well. I dun really wanna prove it from the bible now. But anyway.

Yep, my wrist. HALLELUJAH. Haha, though I haven't played for SUPER LONG, the Lord is truly faithful to His word. I feel good, I feel awesome. In terms of everything. Especially guitar.

I think I really have to post a video here, not to show off, but really to glorify God.

I have to, I'd do it for my wife, what more my God.

------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------ -------------

You know whatever path you are on with your walk with God, know this, there HE is in charge and not you.

Your part is to sit down at Jesus' feet, How? Grab sermons, grab Christ-exalting sermons that makes you go WOW THAT"S MY GOD.

Truly I must say this, everything in the Bible, Old and New Testament, everything POINTS to the finished work of Christ Jesus!!!!!

God is great man. Ok. Time to revamp this whole blog, yep. March I will.

Videos and pictures of what God has blessed me with.

But for now really thank you for reading this blog, especially if you are my close friend.

At least you know what's going on, please update your blog too, whoever you are.

IRRITATING LEH, EVERYTIME I UPDATE ONE.

please, go update your blog now. thanks. man, especially you caleb, and alex. sian lei, alden also. haha :)

ok im just so alive, because truly the Lord is working in my life.

The big difference between last month and this month.

is that though I am as busy, knowing that Jesus is for me, and the Lord God Almighty who sent His one and only Son is for me.

Then my heart is really assured. And there's peace all the way though sometimes I panic. God is real.

Look to the Cross

2010-01-17T04:46:00.000-08:00

This is the song of my life currently, really. There is no other song to express myself currently.

This video says it all I guess. Hope you'd watch it. It's a nice song too. God bless you.

Draw me Close

2010-01-10T06:32:00.000-08:00

Just wanna start by thanking the Lord for his faithfulness, His goodness, His love.

Today is the day of salvation for my cousin, Justyn.

What a great and blessed day for him.

I really cried, cause tears of joy, and touch from God.

It really is a miracle for him to get saved, because his family are staunch buddhists.

But the Lord is faithful in doing a good work in my family.

When I brought him to church, I told the Lord. Lord, He's yours, not mine. You will save him, not me.

Yea. And praise the Lord. Not worrying does miracles, not worrying is none other then faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and His finished work.

Yea. Praise God. Gonna be very very busy for e next 2 weeks or so. Pray that the Lord will give me strength. Please pray for me whoever you are. If you feel like.yea. thank you :)

Wanna thank God for HEALING MY WRIST COMPLETELY!

Man, it was really tough and crazy for me not to touch guitar, or play the piano as often.

Really crazy. There are many times whereby I have no words to express to the Lord.

But yea. Music helps me in doing that.

Thank God for my friends. Thank you for reading. I guess only my closer friends do read regularly, thanks for doing that.

Makes blogging more satisfying to know that people are reading. Yep.

Pray for me if you could. Thank you so much. God bless you.

I wanna leave this verse. It's an amazingly amazing verse. Really meditate on it.

Psalm 116:12-13

"12 How can I repay the LORD for all his goodness to me?

13I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD. "

Mega amazing verse. Isn't our God great?

How to thank him? Ask for more. Call on his name. Praise Him. Amazing God.

There is none like Jesus.

2010, Best year ever!!!

2010-01-02T07:58:00.000-08:00

Woooo, What a great year it has been for me(talking about 2010)

I mean seriously, I just read God's word, and the year 2010 is gonna be the best ever. I'm not being retard here, but yep, Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:28 clearly says so.

I mean Jesus is not bounded by time, so yep, He's been through the year 2010 already, and has said it is good, and God's word is true. Hallelujah.

Okay I just really wanna state that I am a really really weak person, I have my weaknesses, many of them, just that I dun really blog much about it.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Yea, but just to let you know, I really am weak. And yea somehow I just always fall into the system of the old covenant based on Law. And that's when I find myself weakest, and just failing.

Let me quote an amazing passage from a book I've been reading called Unmerited Favor. Really read it and think about it.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Page 102

Sit Under New Covenant Ministries

Failure to rightly divide God's Word leads to confusion and God calls this "mixture". He cannot bless mixture, which potrays Him as being angry with us sometimes because of our failure to keep the law, but wanting to bless us at other times because of His grace.

Mixture teaches that God is happy with us sometimes, but at other times, our fellowship with God is broken because of our failures.

A believer can find no peace, no assurance and no confidence in mixture. You cannot put new wine into old wineskins because you will lose both.(Mark 2:22)

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

[personally, this is from jerome chua btw, i think there's no other intepretation to what Jesus is trying to say down here, then to put it in the light of the old and new covenant, read it's context of the verse, there's not much sense, God really does bless those who seek Him through revelations]

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

The law will lose its convicting power to lead you to Christ if it is balanced with grace.

Grace will lose its essence of being unmerited, unearned and undeserved when people are told that they still need to depend on themselves and their works to deserve God's presence and favor. It is an outright contradiction.

What man calls "balance", God calls "mixture".

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Yep, really, just think about this truth. Seriously.

You either totally depend on the finished work of Jesus ,

or solely dependant on your works.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You decide. :] God bless you. thanks for reading. Please tag! Ty. Dun so emo and not tag k! Im sounding gay cause im pretty high, God's word truly never fails to satisfy my searching heart. Thanks for reading. Please tag ah!

Weaknesses

2009-12-29T11:49:00.000-08:00

Today I would like to blog about my weaknesses.

Things I wanna see God working faster in.

One of my biggest areas I struggle with is, really work.

I really am a lazy person, in a way. haha.

There's a saying that lazy people are the most hardworking, because they go through all the hard work to find the fastest way out, den after that, it's easy.

Well, Yea, work, I just wanted to do my project, but my software couldnt work. I really wanted to do. There are just these times, I wanna do my work, but it hardly comes by.

It's 4am by the way.

Another area, is perhaps social life.

Being in my course, my poly, it's pretty hard, especially if you're from fairfield, and your not as on and enthu. lol.

it's hard, cause for me, i dunno, i just find it hard not being myself ?

yea. so, i still struggle with that part.

yep, my main weaknesses i guess. but all weaknesses are nothing to God.

Lord, i just commit all I am to you Lord.

Human

2009-12-27T19:24:00.000-08:00

I am but a human, so many flaws, just like Adam.

But I am a spirit too, just like Jesus.

Phi 2:10-11 "that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
¹¹and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father."

And too bad, because of what Jesus Christ has done on the cross for me, for us. Our flesh, our wrong desires Will bow at the name of Jesus.

So what ever addictions what ever worries you are worried about, confess that in the name of Jesus, that pain, that addiction has to go away.

For e past few weeks, i was just very far from God, because I didn't know how much Jesus loves me, not knowing that Jesus loves me is the worst state to be in.

I thank God for Jesus, for His prayers. Jesus is praying for me. There are many times whereby I need people to pray for me, but sometimes, people really cant be depended on, therefore, Jesus is there for me. And I can only bow down and say to Him, let your will, your prayers be answered.

I'm really fired for God everytime I know I'm loved by him. Or at least I KNOW He loves me. Know and believe. And that can only come when you hear messages on the love of Christ, on the grace of God. it's the only way.

It's by grace you have been saved, not by works so that no one can boast. We walk from faith to faith, not faith to works. Important.

Whoever you are reading this, know that the only reason, you brought your friends to church, gave to the poor, forgave, loved. it's only because, and solely because you were forgiven, loved, 'graced', or felt the love of Christ.

1 John 4:10 - "This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."

Truly it's all about Jesus Christ, and who he is. The loveliness of Christ Jesus is what gets me going in life, because in Him , is where I belong.

The more I know about Christ Jesus, the more I know myself. :)

Praise God.

Thank you Jesus. for your grace, for your Word. I truly am nothing without you Lord. Where would I be without you. Thank you Jesus for who you are and what you have done, and what you are doing and going to do in my life. I praise because you never change, you are the same Jesus of the bible, healing the sick, loving the lost, giving to the poor, merciful to the sinners, loving to all. Thank you Lord. Than you so much. Take this life of mine, and use it for your glory Lord. Take all of me. In the name of Jesus. I pray all this. Amen.

Hi :) read this, it's for you

2009-12-26T23:14:00.000-08:00

God Sees Glorious Things In You!

1 Samuel 16:7 7… For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
Picture David when he was a shepherd boy. Many who knew him in his pre-Goliath days would very likely have seen just an ordinary youth — one who lived at home with his parents and siblings, enjoyed the outdoors and loved music. But where others saw a typical teenager, God saw a king in young David. He saw David’s name being uttered in honor forever for even the Lord Jesus is called the Son of David! Picture Moses after he had settled down comfortably in the desert with a beautiful wife, lovely children and good in-laws. He might have seen himself happily retiring in the near future. But God had bigger plans for him. God had big dreams for him. God saw the Red Sea opening up before him and an entire Egyptian army being wiped out in his presence. God saw in Moses the deliverer of His people. Beloved, God does not see as man sees. God saw in fearful Gideon a mighty man of valor and called him so even when he was hiding from his enemies in fear. (Judges 6:12) God saw in young David a king and anointed him as one. (1 Samuel 16:10–13) God saw in meek Moses a deliverer and drew him out from obscurity. (Exodus 3) Today, God looks beyond what man sees and says about you, and He has dreams for you that are bigger than you can imagine!

Your grace is enough.

2009-12-26T02:26:00.000-08:00

Thank you Jesus, for drawing near to me. Just as I am Lord. Thank you for your grace and your truths unto me. Thank you for you. Thank you for the circumstances I am in that when I choose to worship you Lord. Your love, your grace, is magnified. Your strength me is felt. Your presence in me is seen. Your glory in me is shown.

I can only thank you, by worshiping you and calling upon your name. Lord. As you have written in your word. I thank you for all that you have given to me. thank you for Your touch O Lord. I truly am nothing without you. My whole life is yours, what more this blog, Lord.

I thank you. I know you will use me and you already are using me you are working in me and through me. And I await to see the fruits manifested Lord. I await to see your goodness in me overflowing to the rest. Let your love and grace overflow to all who know me Lord. starting with my family. Jesus you are mine and I am yours. I commit my studies, my music, my magic, my body, my gifts and talents, my family and friends, us, into your hands. Lord you are the head of our relationship, though the world does not know it. Lord I do. And I pray that all those I know will come to know of you Lord. I truly want them to know you. And I pray that you'd give me the courage to proclaim your glory , your gospel to the world, through music, through media, through my life Lord. I am yours Lord. I thank you Jesus for drawing me back to yourself.

Thank you for loving me and showering me with your blessings, with you Lord. Thank you for you Lord Jesus.

Christmas Day

2009-12-25T17:31:00.000-08:00

Okay so yesterday was Christmas. Great day. But sadly I couldn't really feel that Christmas spirit.

Actually truth is for Jesus, it doesn't really matter whether you treat Christmas like Christmas.

The only reason why someone would have a spirit of Christmas is when he or she knows how much Jesus went through just to come down to earth.

He really gave up alot. I was really dry the past few days. Yea. Just really didn't seek the Lord.

Funnily, the more I tried, the more I failed. So you know what, I just waited.

But i do pray and just ask the Lord to draw me back to Himself. And he did.

Well. The Lord is really a faithful God and that's all that I can say. I have so much work to do right now. And yea. If you could pray for me. I know it just takes me to do my work. Just like that, for those who have always been doing their work on time.

But it's harder for me. And yes, nothing is impossible through Christ who strengthens me, and haha, I really need to have Christ empowering me.

Feeling so weak. Guess it's just another phase of my walk with Him. And I am growing. Trusting that all that I am going through will work out for the good. according to Jeremiah 29 and Romans 8. God bless you. Have a Merry Christmas.

2009-12-22T04:19:00.000-08:00

Your grace is enough, more than I need
At Your word I will believe
I wait for You, draw near again
Let Your Spirit make me new

And I will fall at Your feet
I will fall at Your feet
And I will worship You here

Your presence in me, Jesus light the way
By the power of Your word
I am restored, I am redeemed
By Your Spirit I am free

And I will fall at Your feet
I will fall at Your feet
And I will worship You here, oh Lord

Freely You gave it all for us
Surrendered Your life upon that cross
Great is the love poured out for all
This is our God

Lifted on high from death to life
Forever our God is glorified
Servant and King rescued the world
This is our God

And I will fall at Your feet
We sing I will fall at Your feet
And I will worship You here

And I will fall at Your feet
I will fall at Your feet
And I will worship You here

Freely You gave it all for us
Surrendered Your life upon that cross
Great is the love poured out for all
This is our God

Lifted on high from death to life
Forever our God is glorified
Servant and King rescued the world
This is our God

I MUST BLOG

2009-12-17T07:56:00.000-08:00

I can go on and on and on. Truly the only thing, that one thing, is to get God's word and to really just live on it for the day.

I was really going through so much mixture of feelings. But then again, feelings aren't the truth, feelings are real, but they aren't true. God' word is truth.

When I said feelings I was meaning more of the kind of unworthy kinda feeling.

Many a times we feel unworthy and what sort. But truth is that you're more than perfect in God's eyes. And it doesn't matter what you have done or will do.

Jesus' work at the cross is GREATER THAN YOURS. Final.

Jesus laid his life for you. For you. The only thing you can do now is to receive it. That's all you need to do. Don't talk about doing for him, if you haven't received his love. As in, what is in your heart now.

Your love for God. Or God's love for you.

Truth is, everyday we all have to make the choice to carry our cross.

Why carry the cross? Because that's where our flesh is nailed. Flesh doesn't only mean, lust, anger etc. but also your works.

STOP depending on your Works. and rest in Christ's finished work.

YOu know when you are depending on your works when you worry about your walk.

When you feel far away. just tell the lord. Lord I know that you'll never leave me nor forsake me because your Word says so.

And just like from the start, how you drew me to yourself, you too will now do it again.

Thank you Lord Jesus, I truly am nothing without you.

Praise God!!

Thanks for reading. I believe this has spoken to you :) Praise God!

Labouring to enter His rest

2009-12-15T22:01:00.000-08:00

Well. it's a journey, a long one.

To actually continually cast your cares to the Lord. Is WAY harder than to start worrying.

And because of our silly asian culture. We feel it's a noble and a good way to show that we actually care.

But the Bible tells us to cast all our cares to the Lord.

1 Peter 5: 7 "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

Psalm 55:2 "Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall."

Funny. I used to think too that to love someone like my niece is to worry, to think of the Worst possible situation and then trying to prevent it.

But that is where the devil can just rob us easily. He will all the more make that thing that you worry come to past.

So the best thing we can do to care about a particular person or situation be it relationships, studies etc. is to not care, I repeat, Not care, but to cast it to the Lord.

You can argue your way out of this by saying laziness, or it's an excuse to laziness.

But I find that, the more I cast my cares to the Lord, especially in my area of studies, I do better, I complete my work on time. But everytime when I worry, it just gets worse.

God is loving. I am seriously going through this period whereby all my gifts and talents amount to nothing when I put them next to Jesus. They are peanuts.

Not even peanuts. Really nothing. It's obvious, there are thousands of mega talented people in the world, like those hollywood actors. But their lives assuredly I can say, sucks to the core.

Or they wouldn't be looking for love in so many wrong areas.

Well.. I've found that source of my belonging, and it's time I really believe that Christ is who I am, And that He is in me , and I in Him.

It's hard, definitely, I understand, because I am a human, we always want to depend on our flesh but it's time to trust God.

God is not interested in behaviour modification but heart transformation.

Only grace can produce heart transformation.

Yes you can do good. But if by your own strength you can never last.

I'm really on an incredible journey, though right now I totally feel very crappy. I'm feeling mega crappy now, AND I DUNNO WHY/

But I guess these are times where I just say to the lord.

I need you.

Lord, I really cant live this life without u at all. please help me Lord. I really cant do this by myself. you have put me in a place whereby knowhing your grace so intimately seems wrong. I do not know what to do. i need help lord. Send more angels to affirm me. May your hand rest upon me and my brothers and sisters. Teach me your ways o Lord. I really need you so badly. Show me your ways Lord and guide me in your truths. help me to reject every lie that is from the devil in my spirit. i commit all that i have and all that i am to you lord. In Jesus most precious name. Amen.

Salvation is Here!

2009-12-13T08:26:00.000-08:00

1) salvation, deliverance

a) welfare, prosperity

b) deliverance

c) salvation (by God)

d) victory'

This is the full meaning of the word 'salvation'. In the Hebrew. Cool huh.

Alright. I just feel so recharged man. WHooo. It seemed like the more I served in worship ministry. The more recharged I became. It's like serving God, equals to getting life. Contrary to what alot of traditional churches think. OH. you must serve God.

That kinda thing? But no. It's fun serving. I haven't played the guitar. All I did was watch and listen. And it seems

boring. But funny. I am recharged, I am renewed. God is great man.

Ok I shall update on my life.

Went out with my cousins to watch New Moon. Cool. I am gonna get the books of Twilight. LOL.

Beautiful beyond Description

2009-12-10T06:37:00.000-08:00

Lord I know, I know that you love me, and I believe it Lord.
I know that you're always with me. Even when I did not believe in you Lord.
Thank you for your grace, thank you that you died for me.
I thank for this revelation, this revelation that truly can't be grasped by the human mind.
I thank you that you use the weak to shame the strong, the foolish to shame to wise, the small and belittled things of this world for the big.

I can only stand in awe of you Lord. I thank you that you have already planned a beautiful future for me and that I'm walking in it RIGHT now. All these typing, is part of your plan. Nothing escapes you Lord. Thank you that you chose me Lord. Thank you so much Lord. I boast of your Love for me. And not of mine for you. Thank you that your love is constant. You never change. You're the same Jesus in the Bible that heals, that loves, that speaks life, that cares, that hugs, that comforts. and your Spirit lives in me. Truly Lord, these things are just too wonderful for me to know or comprehend. I thank you Lord, that you read every word of this letter from me to you. And I do believe that you will keep this letter till we meet. I know you are real Lord. When all else fails and falls apart when logic and deception kicks in. I know that you still love me because the change in me is evident. It is an undeniable fact that you have worked in my life, and have blessed me beyond what I can fathom.

Lord. I am writing this to you. And I thank you Lord, for loving me. And showing me that truly this life of a child of God, is a life of rest and trust in you. people can say all they want. I choose not to care Lord. I cast all my cares to you. TRULY Lord, you are the one who produces the fruits. and not by my works. Thank you Jesus. I cast all my cares and worries into your hands. In your mighty name, I pray all these Lord. Thank you Jesus, Amen.

He is Faithful.

2009-12-08T07:13:00.000-08:00

Wow, I just really love listening to the Word of God. It really is a blessing just being able to listen to God's word every week, or even every day.

It really is a great blessing. I'm really starting to appreciate his Word. God is really a good God.

Faith is not for you to judge or look at. It is for Jesus to look at it.

Look at Jesus in HIS faithfulness and grace, and He will see you in your faith.

Don't have faith in your faith.

Everything's Changed

2009-12-06T17:18:00.000-08:00

God is faithful once again. He always is. When we are faithless he is faithful.

When we have faith, he is faithful to deliver.

God is just so good. Words really can't describe His majesty.

I play music. And with all that, sometimes, it just can't totally express how Great my God is.

Speaking in tongues, magnifying Him.

For those of us who can speak in tongues, do you notice that it is possible to pray forever.

And it's the Holy Spirit praying, magnifying God's name and will.

But still, an hour seems like peanuts. An hour of praise to the living God is just not enough!

Truly we need an eternity to sing praise and to worship Him.

I definitely want to be a musician in Heaven, hhaha, though all of us would be able to play any instrument skillfully, cause there isn't any curse!!

Anyway. The one we're gonna praise is Jesus. For what he has done.

I do believe that Jesus is God.

And God is Jesus.

Not only did God give up His son. He gave up himself. I dunno how to explain this.

But I know Jesus is Lord. And my Lord is the creator of the heavens and the earth.

Hello. Just went out with Lincoln today. Great catching up with him.

Today was a hectic yet a very interesting day. Went to Fusionpolis for some talk. Yea very interesting.

About how the Singapore's Board of Censorship doesn't really censor stuff. They aren't the ones. But the film producers and distributors whom they themselves cut obscene or non-appropriate scenes so that they can sell in countries like Singapore. Yea. So yep.

Okay. I dunno man. I cannot don't blog for once without talking about God. Yes

I can do that. I can don't blog about God. Those are times when I don't blog at all. Haha.

Alright. I dunno I have nothing much to type to day.

Anyway my life has been great. Alot of projects, but they are coming to a lighter end. I can't wait for final year next year. Looking foward to it.

Thank God for my healed wrist as well :)

I haven't been playing e guitar properly for a month already!!!

But I thank God for that experience, I know it was God who caused my wrist to be injured,

LOL why would he die for it in the first place, if he struck me with it. Come on!

Ok anyway. Yea there was this point of time whereby guitar was really becoming sort of my god.

But thankfully, yea, God rocks. That's all I can say. Thanks for reading :]

I am under Grace. Hallelujah!

2009-12-02T03:13:00.000-08:00

Romans 6:14 " For sin shall NOT have dominion over you, for you are NOT under law, but under GRACE.

PRAISE THE LORD! I'm really shouting this from my heart!

Btw, sin is anything to do with missing the mark of God.

Sickness, addictions, anger, etc. The solution is grace. Clearly stated. Not taken out of context, read the WHOLE BOOK of Romans and see for yourself.

God spoke to me. He said this. AMazing.

Grace makes you live life in a continual state of repentance. Omygosh. That can't be from my own mind!

Why does grace allow you live life in constant repentance? Now repentance is not about tearing your shirt in half, rolling around in the dust, crying out loud, and saying sorry, i've failed.

Repentance - Greek "metanoia" a change of mind, as it appears to one who repents, of a purpose he has formed or of something he has done.

Why does grace allow you to do that. to appreciate God's presence.

Because you know, you know he's there by your side irregardless of your failings and your good works.

How great is our God. Sing with me.

³If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins,
O Lord, who could stand?

⁴ But with you there is forgiveness;
therefore you are feared.

WOuld you agree with me that, forgiveness is a form of grace? Duh.. Cause

if you say something like " No God I dont deserve your forgiveness"

This statement is literally wrong. If forgiveness is deserved, then it ain't forgiveness, kinda duh.. right?

SO PRAISE GOD, he has declared in HIS WORD, YOU ARE FORGIVEN, NOW LIVE THE GLORIOUS LIFE HE HAS CALLED YOU TO.

IF YOU FAIL, NEVERMIND, STAND UP ONCE AGAIN. YOU HAVE FULL ACCESS TO GOD'S PRESENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am under grace / new covenant, how bout you :)

God is great. Wa, man, this feels good :D

19Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, ²¹and since we have a great priest over the house of God, ²²let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

²³Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

God bless you, Thanks for reading :]

You Never Let me Go

Grace Vs Flesh

2009-11-30T05:07:00.000-08:00

Currently, it's been one of the driest moments I've been feeling as a child of God this year.

But there is constantly one thing that encourages me.

That grace(God's hand at work) is invisible while the law(flesh at work) is visible.

Every time I tell myself "Hey, time to get back to God"

That is the law by itself. It should never be this way, it never was.

Jesus Christ made the first move.

Feeling so heavy right now. Being away from home for a month seriously is tiring mentally.

I found out something. You are always at home, wherever you are when you know that Jesus loves you.

Something about grace that is so so powerful.

When you are under it, instead of the law. Everything else just flows naturally.

I struggle so much with being under the law. But under grace, I make friends so easily, I forget about myself. I can speak in front of crowds, I can perform in front of people.

Not feeling one bit of fear.

Amazing.

I'm not gonna continue talking about all these. Anyway this blog was meant for me to write about my feelings what I'm going through.

To top it off.

Grace is like an elevator(Holy Spirit) Law is like the stairs(Flesh)

Man A takes the stairs. Man B takes Waits for the elevator.

In the same way. Law, always seems like hey, you're doing the right thing. But truth is yes you are, but sooner or later you WILL burn out if you are under law.

Yes for that moment you can be doing great things, but sooner or later you will stop if you are depending on your self.

Grace on the under hand really seems like, "Ah , you and your grace grace grace talk, where the results man, talk so much."

Yep. God is good. His Holy Spirit truly is like the elevator, once you know WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS AND THAT it's Christ in you who produces the fruits of the Holy Spirit , you will reach the place where God has destined you to be at.

Hallelujah!

Wow. God is good.

Sorry if this is offensive. Truth is, it offends me too. Well.. it offends the Jerome in Jerome. But not the Christ in Jerome Chua Meng Ern. God bless you.

Heart.

2009-11-29T05:00:00.000-08:00

Life is interesting.
It seems the more I wake up every morning. Live each day. It just seems that life
truly revolves everything around Jesus and His finished work.

Example :

My friend, Caleb, we love talking about soccer. We always/most of e time. Talk about it until we reach this point saying. Caleb : "ah ya, if I had your talent I can make it far."

or Jerome : " if i was in a good class, i would have studied harder and do well "

Well, granted. Good arguments. Makes sense.

But all this talk. There is no Jesus in it.
Truth of the matter is, whoever you are reading this, it's not by chance you happened to.

I am who I am by the grace of God. I am where I am by His grace.
I have what I have by His grace. Because of His finished work.

Whether you are a christian or not. Fact is, Jesus ALREADY paid the price for your sins.

If you factor in that one thing. Conversations become way more meaningful. I've always desired conversations like these.

Anyway. I've been going through alot of self battles.

It's sometimes hard to put down all that you have and just sit at Jesus' feet.

Well... I truly believe that if we can do that. ( Guys it's not hard. It's just receiving. Not too hard to receive)

I guess I'm glad sometimes it's good I go through dry spells.

Like loneliness and all that stuff. You see e devil always takes a risk when he attacks you.

If you come out of it triumphant which you will, because Christ is in you, den guess what. You will be stronger each time. And believe me, I do know that.

All my life, it's been hard not having parents by your side. But thank God he is bringing me through that. As in, I start to rely on him. Sometimes I still need friends to help me. but i guess it's time to really just accept the fact that Jesus is all I need and he created me for himself. And he redeemed me, and bought me back.

When I fall down you pick me up.

2009-11-26T07:20:00.000-08:00

When I am dry, you fill my cup.

I just want to thank God for his love. There really is nothing that is like His love for me, for us.

He gave up all that he had for us. Just so that we might be with him.

*Shocking verse. John 17:23 - "May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." ( please read the context, it was Jesus praying this prayer btw)

Daddy. Thank you for loving me despite all that I've done wrong. You still love me the same you loved me when I entered your mind. I do not know when I entered your mind Lord. But I thank you that you yourself, thought of me. and Formed with your very very own hands Lord. You who created the stars, the heavens, the moon, and angels. You who spoke the word, and light was there. But you knit me with your very own Hands. Lord. Those hands that were pierced for my transgressions. Wounded for my infirmities. Those loving hands Lord. Please Lord. Show me more of your love towards me. That I may really drink only of your Love all the days of my life, even as I am gonna be with you in heaven. Help me to know I am in you. and you in me. I thank you for your grace and mercy to me. Thanks Dad, for giving me your one and Only begotten Son. YOu gave ALL that you had just for me. You gave up yourself for me Lord. I thank you for love. Thank you for who you are to me. I pray that you'd draw me closer to you, and reveal more of who you are to me. In the name of Jesus, I pray all these Lord. Amen. and Amen. :) Thank you Jesus for reading every word of this and answering every prayer. Thank you for being my number one fan Lord. So much so you'd die for me. Thank you for your love Lord. I don't know why you died for me. But I know you were not blind. When you did that. So thank you once again Lord Jesus for forming me and dying for my sins. In your most precious name, Amen.

Isn't Jesus GOOOD?

2009-11-25T07:44:00.000-08:00

Ahhhhhh!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Yes this is how I am right now. If you were to see me face to face.

Yes you can picture me screaming/shouting. "AH"

BEcause God is just SO GOOD TO ME! :D

I was almost breaking down today but the Lord really arranged me to meet with my very close friend.

My Proverbs 18:24 friend.

Really divine intervention. Thank God that no one else came. Really. It was such an open talk. A naked talk really. NO boundaries.

ANyway. It's gonna be my busiest week ahead. But I feel so so much PEACE.

Yea. TMR SOCCER WOOO.

YOU KNOW GOD IS SO GOOD.

Cause I'm just being showered with so much.

I dunno what to say. I almost wanted to break down today. Seriously. cause, just alot of weight on me currently.

The thing about my projects, is it's like 4 - 6 months long. It's like a long examination. I did feel that stress today.

But after recounting and talking about God's grace and love, wow. It's not just a feeling man, but it's more than that.

A HOPE. A REkindled PASSION.

MY God is a great God. I love. Because He first loved me.

1 John 4:10

Jesus loves me. This I know. The Bible tells me so.

I Receive

2009-11-24T05:01:00.000-08:00

The top songs I've been listening to are He is Greater and I Receive.

It's a nice song too. Ya.

Psalm 23

2009-11-22T06:40:00.001-08:00

I must say God has been extremely faithful unto me these few days.

It's been a month since, I've stayed away from my home.

It's tough, I guess. Cause. It's just not the same lying down on your own bed. And yea. I miss home, definitely.

But through all these I've definitely grown stronger.

You know the irony. For me. (Everybody is different.)

The irony for me is that, being stronger, would mean to grow 'weaker'. When I say that I mean.

Just totally not relying on any of my gifts or my talents.

Sometimes I feel am talented. But there is always somebody out there MUCH MORE talented than YOU. and me.

Anyway. Yea I've come to realized that I should never depend on my gifts and circumstance.

It's always a gamble as long as it's not based on the finished work of Christ Jesus.

What I mean by not depending on your gifts, by saying that I don't mean to be lazy and slacken.

But do what you do as usual with as much heart you can have. But after that DO NOT WORRY.

Trust it to God. It's not so tough actually. Just let it go.

Just let it go. Really. It's hard, only because you can't see the future.

But let it Go. And believe God's word that he has plans not to harm you but to prosper you.

I've been living everyday like this for a while. And life was never as much relaxed as it was.

And never was it that fruitful like it is currently.

I praise God for this path I'm on. I hope you will find that wonderful path too.

Life truly is easy. Why? Cause technically speaking. We're all dead already. Christ lives in us. in Me. :)

God bless you!!!

He is Greater

2009-11-19T00:00:00.000-08:00

One of my favourite songs currently. Please watch if you have the time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N5I4uuPTUc

Through Christ You first loved me
Be no greater price than this
The One who died for me
Rose from death I stand redeemed

Now we sing salvation's song
For the Saviour's perfect love
Cleansed my soul in mercies deep
Blessed grace delivers me

Hallelujah, He is greater
Hallelujah, Jesus my Saviour

Strength and hope for all our days
Faith to move the mountains clear
Priceless love You give to us
Is not bound by what we do

The blood of Jesus set me free
Great love paid this price for me
His life He gave, love remains
Holy Lord

Change my heart.

2009-11-18T03:39:00.000-08:00

Lord I pray that you'd change my heart. Change me Lord.

That timidity that's in me. To own up to my mistakes.

To always tell small little lies and regret them.

I know that you will help me Lord. I'm sick of always lying and trying to cover up for that lie.

But nonetheless Lord. I look to Your cross. Where you died for every sin. Past, present and future.

I thank you Jesus. That you love me despite all that I've done.

I know you love me. And I thank you for that Lord. Hold me in your embrace.

Thank you Jesus for who you are and what you are doing in my life and have done.

For eternity,

all my heart will give,

all the glory to your name. Amen.

Called From Your Mother's womb

2009-11-15T06:57:00.000-08:00

Hello everybody. I believe this word from God is very timely for most of you who are reading my blog :)

Remember everyone on this planet has talents. And God WILL use whatever you have. Just be faithful in what you have.

He will surely multiply what you have for His glory and for YOURS too.

Romans 8:30 - And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

Yea. Do read what I have copied and paste at the bottom. It will bless you for sure. Thanks for reading.

What a word from God. God is really good :) Check your bible too. ")

Galatians 1:15
15… God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace,

Beloved, you are not an accident with no destiny. God has called you from your mother’s womb. You have a special calling and a destiny in Christ, and it is all by His grace!

There are Christians who are called by God to be doctors. But I believe that among them are those separated from their mothers’ wombs for the healing ministry. They are passionate about seeking cures to alleviate the sufferings of humanity.

Likewise, I think that there are Christians who are called by God to be teachers in secular schools. But among them are those separated from their mothers’ wombs to be Bible teachers. What gives them tremendous fulfillment is seeing lives saved and transformed under their teaching.

What about those famous magicians you see performing tricks on television? They have a love for the mystical and supernatural. If they were to become Christians, they might just become prophets with ministries marked by the miraculous!

The apostle Paul knew that he was called from his mother’s womb. He had a misguided passion for God though, as he was persecuting the church, until he had his encounter with Jesus. (Acts 8:3, 9:1–6)

If Paul, a terrorist to the early church, could be touched by Christ to become an apostle of grace, what about today’s terrorists who blow up people in the name of their god? For all you know, if they receive Christ, they might just become trailblazers in the kingdom of God!

Now, don’t think that your calling has to do with your qualifications, abilities, achievements or even your walk with God. You were called from your mother’s womb by His grace. As a fetus in your mother’s womb, there was not much you could do — good or bad.

That is why your calling is all by His grace. And since He has given you a calling, ask the Holy Spirit to help you discern the desires that He has placed in your heart, the passions that drive you in life, and fulfill your calling and destiny in Christ!

This is the day the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it.

2009-11-11T17:31:00.000-08:00

Deuteronomy 28:6
6Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

God gave this word to me. And to you who are reading this. It is our promise to claim.

Whether you are at home or out. You WILL be blessed. Why? Because God said so. And it doesn't matter what others say. It is God who has that last say in your life.

Been going through alot of inner battles. Questions like who am I. And all that came to me.

It's really terrible being under those thoughts. It's not that i wanted to think them.

Anyway. It's great just knowing who I am in Christ.

It doesn't matter what talents you have actually. Because Christ loves you. And believe me Jesus is way more talented than anyone. Yet he gave up His life for us.

Hmmm. I really really can't wait to shift back home. 1 more week plus only.

God really spoke to me just now when I was in the bathroom.

As my house is being renovated. I'm away from it. But I know when I step back into that house. Things are 10 times better than it used to be. But there is this trying time whereby everyday, every second, I just can't think about home. Because I have totally no image of it. But through this time of being 'seperated' from home.

Makes me just appreciate the rest of my family members more.

God is faithful and His word will never change. His promises never ever change. He will come through for me in all that I have and all that I do.

Thank you Lord, For giving me life. Thank you that when I see you in heaven, you will wipe every tear and every pain.

But right now, even as I am on this earth. Let your faithfulness and might be displayed to me.

Show me your ways. You are my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

In you. In you I find my strength.

2009-10-30T18:19:00.000-07:00

I just want to give thanks for drawing me back to him. I really realised that I can do nothing without the help of Christ.

I am going through a period whereby there are no answers and people around to help. But God really affirmed me saying that all I needed was His word to get through this. And I believe. This is the word he has given to me.

Now this is another anyhow-flip-to-any-page thingy. Either it's God or odds. Odds of all the bible pages in the Bible that my fingers would flip. So thank God for His kindness and faithfulness.

Isaiah 41:10

" So do not fear, for I am with you;

do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you;

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. "

Ya thank God for his word man. If there is one thing I can bring to a deserted island. It'll be the word of God. True life is found in that precious more-than-a-book.

Sorry to those whom it seems I dun care about the friendship. I am just going through a period of time, finding out who I am. And it's always the same answer. I am who Christ is. Cause he lives in me.

Everytime I fail to know that and believe that. I really crumble. But thanks be to God who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ. ( 2 Cor 2:14)

So yep. Thank God for all that he is. Really can't wait to see him face to face.

Here I am to worship

2009-10-22T07:47:00.004-07:00

Hello :) God is good.

AHH I'm feeling too alive for my own GOOD.

Been feeling really alone in class, in school, however God just really affirmed me.

He said this to me. "Son, I am always with you, you may see all your friends who are enjoying themselves but deep inside they need that wholeness from me. But you, Son, have that. "

Wa, when I heard that. I tell ya... School for me just turned to a different direction.

Anyway... I'm craving soccer and jamming.

I wanna go out too. And go to school.

Can't wait for tomorrow to start. Life really is good knowing Christ is your Rock.

God bless you :)

You Hold Me Now

2009-10-21T08:28:00.001-07:00

Really wanna thank God for His faithfulness to me.

You know you can be faithful to God all you want. But if you don't know He's the one who holds you and is faithful to you. Your faithfulness really counts for nothing.

my point is we truly are nothing without Christ.

Sometimes in life, like pilots, we think we fly our plane. But jump out of the plane. And see who's flying who.

I guess as a guy of 18 years of age. Ok a singaporean child. I think I really went through alot in life. The bad, the good. But through it all. I have seen and realised I am nothing without the Lord.

My emphasis is always that I am nothing without Christ.

I've learned this. That by grace, I know His grace.

So be thankful when you know His truth. And there's really no need to judge others.

Ok. anyway. I also really want to thank you guys who have personally messaged me to tell me that you are praying for me. Your prayers do help in many ways. Thanks very much :]

I want to thank God that my project got chosen to be showcased in some graduation show.

Yea. Thank you guys so much who have helped me. I'll show you the FINAL video when u guys come. Or I'll post it. (someone teach me :))

Well honestly this couple of weeks or so were my driest moments I've had this year.

I really really found it hard sleeping during the hols.

It's like when I don't spend time with the Lord, Wa my whole really really just crumbles.

I'm just here to blog about how faithful the Lord has been to me. Really thank Him for that. And thanks for reading. SEE U :)

weaknesses

2009-10-16T20:55:00.001-07:00

Been feeling so so far from God recently. Yea. I'm sure anyone reading this will understand what im gonna type.

It's like you know he's near. You know it in your head and maybe in your heart even. But there's just this thing that makes you not feel his presence. I know christianity is not about feeling all the time.

But there are times whereby you don't have parents or siblings or friends that can hug you or comfort you. You just need this touch from God. His word helps but you just wanna feel his touch.

And it's nothing wrong please. In fact if you aren't feeling His touch often means something is kinda wrong(if you are walking close to Him). Jesus is a person. He lives in you. You can certainly feel him one.

Anyway. I'm just feeling really far and from all this I know that actually many of my friends do pray for me. Cause I know when somebody stops praying for me.

Anyway. I haven't felt that for awhile. That touch.
But anyway. If you are feeling the same way as I do. The God is near. yet so far. this verse is for u.

Hebrews 7:25
25… He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

Condemnation vs Grace

2009-10-14T23:56:00.000-07:00

Today was amazing. I thank God I'm taking a new step in my walk with Jesus.

I feel utterly condemned today like never before. However the Lord spoke to me so so so so clearly.

He asked me this ," Son, now it's whether you care more and receive what others think of you or receive my grace and know that I'm the Judge. I have the final say. If I have already declared you as righteous once and for all. Who is he that condemns?"

So it really got me thinking. So what secret pride in it's most subtle forms is that.

You are not able to receive God's grace. Because you want to try to earn it through your own efforts which you cant, for ALL have sinned and Fallen short of the glory of God.

It's only Jesus. Jesus is the only one who can please the Father.

And God looks at us as he sees Jesus.

1 John 4:17 "Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. "

Is Jesus under sickness? As He is, so are we in this world.
Is Jesus under condemnation? As HE IS, so ARE WE in this world.

Yes there may be this real sickness or you may be going through guilt and condemnation. It is real. However when you know that Jesus lives in you and you in Him. And by faith,

Faith in who Christ is and what he has done. There will be healing for you. Believe and know that Jesus is the only way. He is your answer.

I really felt so so condemned today for the things I have done. But I must and by His grace I begin to see myself as how God sees me, as His son.

Praise God man... Praise the Lord. This is life.

Your name O Lord endures forever.

2009-10-12T04:26:00.000-07:00

Thank you Lord for your faithfulness. That you have promised me
in your Word that you will never leave me nor forsake me.

Thank you that your blood is greater than all my failures past, present and future.

I thank you that it those who are under grace that are not under the dominion of sin.

I know that you'll never forsake me or leave me alone. Thank you for helping me realise
that in this life, truly you are all that I need. Thank you for my friends too Lord.

Daddy I just wanna commit all my worries about the future into your hands, your big and mighty hands once again. Thank you Daddy for giving me your one and only Son that I may become yours too. Thank you Jesus for dying for me.

I receive your gift of no condemnation and that abundance of grace to stand up and move on once again Lord. Thank you Jesus for your great love for me.

God is good

2009-10-06T22:07:00.000-07:00

Recently, been very far from God. Never did spent time much with God.

My prayer was simply. "Lord please bring me back, my heart is willing. I wanna be with you."

Ok done.

After a few days. Here I am. I am feeling and I know I'm just so close to God.

You see, God is always by our side. We are the problem. We base his presence on circumstances around us.

Things around us suck, means he isn't there. I mean most of you know what I am trying to say.

But truth is, he is always that close to you.

I guess whoever and wherever you are with God right now. Just pray and know that

at the very start. Before you even asked or were even born.

Christ came to die for you. WHETHER YOU WERE WILLING OR NOT.

Just come as you are. Pray and know that he will draw all man to himself.

Another promise in the book of James too is. "Draw close to him and he will draw close to you. "

THis is a VERY powerful promise. Yea. Think about that. Just 5 min of your time.

Yea. God bless you :) SOCCER. Cant wait. Wa whenever I am close to God my passions just start burning up again. Praise God for that. I am really nothing without Christ.

Life is GREAT!

2009-10-04T22:27:00.000-07:00

hi. Life really has been good for me. Well. When I say that. It doesn't mean I'm happy all the time.

For us believers. Truly our life is set to be good. Good in our different ways. For example me being a soccer player would be good. But if you'd ask my mum to be one. It's bad.

So everyone a different point of 'good'.

Well. So when I say life is good. It just means though circumstances may not be as what I expected. It still can be good not because I pretend it is. But because it is Written. All things work for the good of those who love him and who have been called according to his purposes. (Rom 8:28)

So life is truly great. Just like a story book or a movie. If the ending sucks. The in between can be super good you know. But if the ending sucks, everyone will just walk out feeling crappy.

Well. Truth is, being a believer and knowing more of the blessings under the new covenant.

Not only will your ending be good. But the inbetweens too. If you just choose to believe and trust God. You can be sure your life, your talents, your friendships will all be blessed. Somehow.

I dunno why or how or when. But it just does. Well I guess I can be a bearer of that good news?

Btw I really like Jazz music now. It's lyrics in the notes man. I think it's really really expressive.

I wanna create a new genre. JAZZ ROCK. :)

Ahya. Long journey. A few more years I pray.

OK in Jesus' name I pray that I'll be able to perform jazz music live by 2012. Amen.

Ok see you guys. bb. I haven't been blogging awhile. So this is a pretty random post.

2009-09-29T20:08:00.000-07:00

O Lord you are very great. You are beautiful Lord.
I just want to surrender my life and all that I have to you once again.
I pray that you'll use me greatly and mightily for your name Lord.
Bless me in all that I do and all that I am.
I pray for favour with everyone I come into contact with.
I just want to thank you once again for dying on the cross for me.
I thank you Lord, that you would leave heaven's glory to
become a carpenter and to live a lowly life Lord.
You know all my struggles and pains. and you are worthy of all my praises Lord.
I thank you Lord Jesus and I love you.

The reason why God wants to be first in your life and wants you to commune with you is not cause He's some insecure dude, but because He wants to see YOU being blessed.

John 4:10 - " Jesus answered her, " If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water. "

Do you think for one moment that Jesus at the well was thirsty for water? The one who multiplied a few loaves and fishes to feed multitudes.

If the Lord asks you for something, it's for your benefit and blessing :)

My response can only be, Lord, I'm yours.

It's not so hard when you know that Jesus wants you to prosper and whatever you "lost" you gain back a thousand times more.

Really been going through quite a bit. Not with circumstances around me, but things within me.

My thoughts, my life.

I found out whenever you're feeling down because of what you feel about yourself, that's when you become self-conscious in other words sin-conscious, and the only answer is found at the cross of Jesus Christ.

Whether you feel you are lazy or whatever. Many times I feel lazy and indifferent, but whenever I look at the cross, I just feel so much hope and life once again.

You know I thank God that accepting Christ is soo soo easy, Just BELIEVE.

it's not that hard to believe. If you can get tricked by a simple magic trick, performed by a mere human and think it's magic,

How much more when God PROMISES in His word that whoever believes in His son shall have eternal life? Eternal life bro, that's awesome.

I dunno, I've really been struggling to let go of my talents and gifts and just recognize that it's the Lord who provides.

I'm like a piece of good tasty raw meat. No matter how good I may be, without the chef I am nothing.

I'd rather eat a cooked snail than raw tasty juicy meat.

The Lord has been very faithful to me. I want to draw back to God, sometimes it's hard, but it was never me who went to him, he came to me way before I was born.

Lord, please lead me back to the cross, Help me to find my security and my being in you O Lord God Almighty. I know that you're with me and that you love me and I really thank you for that Lord Jesus, Thank you for all your blessings, I know the wretched man that I am but thank you Lord, that you are beautiful and flawless, and I look to you Lord. No one else will do.

Deuteronomy 31:8

2009-09-25T19:30:00.000-07:00

" The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."

Be Lifted Up

2009-09-25T00:00:00.000-07:00

:) I'm really so happy. Things are really changing, and the Lord is really at work in my LIFE!

Anyway. Just a few things God spoke to me about.

1. Son, it doesn't matter whether your guitar skills are very good, know that I'm already pleased with your playing and you're one of the most guitarists not because of your skills. But your heart and who you belong to.

2. Loneliness is not about whether people are around you or not but whether you know God loves you and Cares for you.

3. Condemnation robs you of peace.

4. I'll bless you with a beautiful wife. (seriously, that's what God says, so well that rules out the possibilities of Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, etc.) hahahahaha.

Well, it's been a really tiring week, and God has been faithful in being there for me even though I haven't really done my quiet time as much this week, really too busy, but every morning i wake up with an unshakable peace knowing God is with me. Praise God for that :)

Great time spent with Lincoln. The past week. Thank God for that too.

God bless you. See you soon. :]

Life is really great. I am in the midst of a really big project. But Zero stress.

Not that I don't care. It's a heavy weighted project but I'm really just trusting it into God's hands. Thank God that my group has me, a believe of Christ. Not cause I'm good. But cause the God of heaven's favor is with me.

You know as Peter beheld Jesus, he stepped and walked to Jesus. Not with his own strength, not with his 'powers'.

Yes he had the faith. Guys, how hard is it to stare at a pretty girl?

Now the focus is not on Peter's faith, I believe, but on how wonderful and gracious our Lord Jesus Christ is.

So let me please encourage those having O and A Levels. Whenever you don't feel like studying, don't force it for that moment, pray a while. And when you study, what you absorb is gonna be amazing alot.

I always pray before I have music lessons.

Whatever your situation is, know that Jesus is with you. Whoever you are. There is no sin too great His blood has not cleansed.

God bless you. :]

power of His love

2009-09-17T05:51:00.000-07:00

My life isn't that great when I look to myself.

But everytime I look to the cross, His love, God's love, Christ's love for me, everything really turns good.

Really had a good talk with lincoln and alex today. Thank God for that.

I still fall every now and then, but the only way I'm ever ever gonna get up is through and by His grace, wasn't that the very way in how we were saved? Not us accepting Christ.

But Christ actullay coming down. All we do or can do is to Receive. What can you do?

Use your strength and fall like crazy after a few weeks?

Anyway. I'm feeling rather bad/crappy.

I decided to post this cause I know alot of my posts makes me look so strong or whatever. Truth is when I'm weak. that's when I'm strong,

in other words I'm weak all the time, in other words strong all the time in Christ Jesus.

Faithfulness

2009-09-14T08:48:00.001-07:00

I just want to warn the reader.

I, Jerome Chua, am gonna continue just talking about God's goodness and His faithfulness. more and more.

Christ is my righteousness.
Christ is my holiness.
Christ is my hope.
Christ is my wisdom.
Christ is my strength. Hallelujah.

You don't wash yourself before you take a bath.

COME to the bath. Jesus is the bath. He is your holiness and your hope. Amen.

WOW I REALLY COME ALIVE WHEN I SPEND TIME WITH GOD.

Wow. talk about quality time baby..
wow. I feel really alive right now!!!

I am HIGH. It's been a very long time since I've been high. And I AM HIGH.

Went out with caleb for lunch. after that went for soccer at fico.

I was just joking with mund. Like It's like if there is such thing as a soccer God.

Then the soccer god is sending people like Mund and Caleb to reignite the lost passion I have for soccer. I thank God I have lost my small touches. (something to give thanks to God for)

But I have gained alot of fats. And yea. It's harder for me to do nice tricks.Anyway.

Thank you God. The God who created everything. Yep. Hahaha. Starting find some joy in soccer.

I guess I just need more competition? Yea. Please pray for my left knee. Injured. Cause I think i'm quite heavy. My legs aren't used to carrying a heavy body. haha.

Thanks for reading. God bless you.

Hope

2009-09-06T22:21:00.000-07:00

I do not know why, but God keeps prompting me to hold on. I really do not know why. But I will. It really isn't something that I want to hold on to. But there's this hope that the Lord keeps putting in me, everytime I wanna just give up. Well I have given it up to God. Talking about the other giving up.

Ya. I really look foward to seeing Jesus himself working in this area of my life. And to see His faithfulness. I really grew so much. And I am so so thankful. I love spending time with God at night. Don't know why, but I just love talking to The Lord.

It really is a comforting experience just sitting down waiting for the Lord. I love those moments and will never trade it for anything else. Knowing the Lord really is the greatest gift I will ever have.

The Lord promises that those who seek first His kingdom and His righteousness everything else that you need shall be added unto you. Kinda worth it don't you think so.

Anyway. I'm still holding on. Because and only because I know that the Lord has told me to. Many times he keeps telling me. And I will definitely hold on to you Lord. Really really can't live this life without your amazing grace. Thank you Lord. For all you've done. I look to you, Jesus.

Speak to me. Guide me in your paths of righteousness for your name's sake. Thank you God.

His Glory Appears

2009-09-02T10:16:00.000-07:00

Love that song. Beautiful song.

Alright. Today basically spent my day with Wesley. Haha. Alright Wesley!!!!!
We're on to our first instrumental already. It's seriously God man. Time spent with
him was really fruitful.

Something bad kinda just happened in my house. Ya. Please just pray that there'll be peace in my house. Nothing to do with me, as in I'm not involved. It's quite serious. Really serious. Ya.

On a lighter note.

God has been really gracious to me. I never actually realized
that. Like every single moment I'm being covered by
His inexhaustable grace.

Something about my past was that when I wake up in the
morning, I would be so angry subconciously, I'll
kick and swing my legs and arms.

But now all that is gone. I still do have many fits of anger ( Please read the verse :) )
but,

For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature,
God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, Romans 8:3

Read in context. even more amazing.

God condemned Sin.
Everytime your flesh acts up, anger, dirty thoughts, insecurity.

Know this God has already condemned all that at the cross.

Receive what Christ has done for you. He didn't go through all that suffering for nothing.

Imagine Christ standing up all of a sudden and saying, "Oh No!! I forgot that sin!"

No way. Jesus paid for ALL YOUR SINS.

When you know that Jesus has paid for all your sins you wouldn't want to sin more.

The only time you wanna sin more is when you are under the law. (Romans 6:14)

Hmm I got no idea why I typed all that for.

say what they want, say what they want

2009-08-31T22:47:00.000-07:00

YEAAAAA.. God is so so so good man.

I've decided not care about what others say about God and I.

Haha, recently been having alot of "persecution". No other word I know of. But anyway. I'm currently at a point in my life which, is really like that of David in the desert and pastures with his sheep and all.

You know I learnt something new. Amazing stuff. Why was David, the ONLY ONE who was able to stand up against Goliath? It could have been anybody.

Why? Because he was always alone with his sheep, away from the other "christians" of that time.

Now please I'm not implying anything mean or bad to anybody. But just that, I'm starting to finally find out why I'm so close to God or why I do know him so well.

It's the simple fact is that I don't mix with bad company or fact is I don't HAVE a company. Which is GREAT.

Weirdo. Yep. you may say that. But God loves that man. I'm ALL his!!! *** Please I am NOT gonna remain like that forever. God is not selfish. I do believe when I am older when I am much more secure in God, he'll use me greatly out there.

THIS IS the time guys, I believe everyone reading this is below 25. If not. er... nothing to say.

THIS IS THE TIME, to draw near to God as much as possible. Because well, let's put it this way. Kids take up your entire time at home, your work takes out your entire time out of home.

When you get married and all. It's gonna be harder to have intense time with God as you can as a teen.

Omygosh cant believe I just typed all that. It's like I'm 50 or something.

Well. You can choose to ignore these words ya it's fine.

But as for me. It's good to be constantly in the presence of God.

I do not why? But everytime I draw closer to God. My passion for everything starts to increase. And when I play the guitar or do my other stuff. It just becomes so fruitful. yea.

Thank God for where I am now. I will not trade any other life for this.
God bless you.

2009-08-27T08:29:00.000-07:00

Today was a great day spent with my friends. haha.

Other than that. Erm I just wanna thank God for helping me with my projects la. And I really am starting to feel like I am growing up :/

Well... I really thank God for where I am and what has happened to me in the past. Really grew so much. He really opened my eyes to see that life is so much more than what I thought it would be.

I cannot believe too that soccer isnt that big in my life after all as compared to Christ. He really is the center of my life. I really cant live a day without God. I am seriously useless.

Anyway yea. I really really cant believe Im gonna work next year too. hahaha. And NS soon. haha.

THIS IS THE STAGE. but truely, there's not a place whereby u can say. " Oh I have grown up"

Everyone's learning and growing everyday. which is good.

Great talks with caleb, alden and alex today. short but meaningful in some ways.

Seriously cant wait to go heaven man. seriously seriously. That's something lol, i am truly looking foward to. But truly thinking back, my life seriously is heaven as compared to last time.

Good night, I am gonna play dota with the fairsians. see la mund..... i've waited for half an hour alr.......

Slow dancing

2009-08-26T06:13:00.000-07:00

haha wanna start off by saying that babies are the most useless creatures on planet earth. seriously. haha. which is funny, because at the same time they're the most dangerous, why?

because they have dads or mums. talking about most people.

you wouldn't want to mess with The Rock's baby. You wouldn't want to mess with Kaka's baby, he'll own u in soccer.

you get the point.

Truthfully, in our spirits, humans too are the most useless. But because Jesus lives in us, well, that's a whole new different story.

I'm saying all this cause just looking at my niece, haha, it just that she drains all the energy out of someone but at the same time gives off joy and happiness.

anyway. just jammed with wesley just now. haha it was really really fun. Thank God for the time I spent with him.

Oh I finished most of my projects too. Lincoln, come back soon. haha. i can go out alr.

anyway... Life's just good knowing God loves me and ya, he's been opening my eyes to see the blessings that I have.

For my JC friends, God bless you. haha. Press ON.

Catch up soon, if ur from JC . haha.

I AM GOING TO GET A FENDER GUITAR. FOR SURE.

Well it's amazing. God has inserted a very very big dream in my heart. I pray that it'll be able to happen. I'll post about it soon. haha. it's really a very very big dream man.

Ok. That's all for now. I think i'll post my video. lol. but dunno how. someone teach?

My special effects video. ya. ok see ya. God bless you.

He'll Come

2009-08-23T07:31:00.001-07:00

What a busy week it's been for me. Looking foward till I complete my projects. 2 more to go.

Big thanks once again to those who've helped me in my project. haha thank you guys so much. I'm finishing the video very soon.

Thank you Lord for helping me in my assignments.

I got an A for one of my modules. Yea all the praise to God.

Thank God that I've got a small part time job? haha. I pray I'll be able to sustain it. But it's work from home so not too bad.

Thank God for my guitar partner. She really changed my perception of female guitarist. LOL. Arg.... Anyway. Yea. Thank God that he is with me in all that I'm doing.

I guess my greatest passion is to see people grow in the Word and . It definitely is la. Well.

I am looking foward to studying overseas. Really wanna see how it's like to study overseas alone.

Many things in my mind. But just learning how to drop off everything and just look to God already. I am weak and powerless in and of myself. jerome really sucks at life. Thank God for His son.

Oh oh. My most eventful thing that happened to me this week was talking to one of my Malay friends about Christianity and Muslim. And wow. In the koran(dunno how to spell)

They actually mention Jesus' coming!! WOOOO. That's sooo cool. I roughly know the whole Muslim religion, like the basis of it. And i DO Praise The Lord that he has chosen and found me.

to summarise everything.

Religion = Do.

Christianity = Done. Praise God.

Where Sin Increases, Grace Superabounds.

Oh yes.
