Update- white hair turned black!

I was at a family reunion 2 weeks ago and as soon as my cousin saw me she said "Did you dye your hair?". Why would I dye my hair? The chemicals would do more harm to my body. She said my hair has become darker and Aunty Dolly confirmed this.

Then, I remembered awhile back, Helen's husband had shared with me how his white hair turned black when he took the stem tech pills. I wasn't convinced then and the reason why I take stem tech is to allow my bone marrow to produce stem cells to repair all the organs in my body that needs repairing. Today, I was chatting with Ying Chee whose friend is also encouraging her to take stem tech. YC was diagnosed with lung cancer. I have also been encouraging her since it has done me good. Her friend demonstrated to her how her hair turned black as well. On the same strand of hair, the hair closest to the root turned black.

So, there must be some truth eh? Anyway, looks like I have new new hair now. No wonder, so many people have come to me to say I look better. It really is because the at the very first glance, they see your hair and if your hair looks good then, naturally, the first impression you get is good as well.

Now my cousin is considering trying stem tech just to get her hair to turn black..ha ha. I wouldn't if I were her but if she takes stem tech for better health and as a result get nicer hair, yeah, then by all means, buy it.

I say "Thank you Lord for Your gift to me. Thank you for a new crop of curly and black hair! Praise the Lord!"

Update - Exercising

Philippians 4:13
"I can do all this through him who gives me strength."

I just finished exercising brisk walking around my neighborhood. It is really such an achievement to me, overcoming my laziness. I really need to build up my stamina and immune system. The other day at Planetarium, I witnessed Nic skipping up a looooong flight of stairs like a prancing deer. But both Ethan and I were walking slowly, Ethan because of his weight, mine, because of my stamina..ha ha..but we were both in the same state huffing and puffing..well not that much but a bit. At the end of the night, my thigh muscles were aching but Ethan was fine. That was when I realized I needed to exercise more!

Getting out 2 to 3 times a week to exercise is such a chore. If i manage to get out to exercise 3 times a week, I will be so thrilled! Last week I learned that it is my spirit that dominates BOTH my mind and body so I should not allow this lazy mind (which may also sometimes harassed by the devil) to rule me and as a consequence make my body suffer. In order to build my spirit and renew my mind, I need to read scriptures to spur me on like Philippians 4:13.

A few of you have asked how you can help me so I pray you can help me in this area. Can you pass me scriptures that will motivate me to exercise and also send me YouTube movies or articles on doing simple exercises? That would greatly help me and motivate me. For now, Henry is my best motivator. I exercised today because he reminded me so! I really need to get to a position I can stand on my own and just do what is right in God's eyes!

I memorized this from Exodus 15:26
He said "If you listen to the Lord your God, and do what is right in His eyes, if you pay attention to His commands and keep all His decrees, I will not bring any of the diseases I brought upon the Egyptians for I am the Lord who heals You".

It shows that being away from God can make us sick but to listen to God we need to apply what He says to our lives. Anyway, It feels good letting the sweat trickle down as I write this. The endorphins are being released! Praise God! Thank you for the exercise Lord!

Quickened!

Quickened by the word of God

Psalm 119:93 KJV

"I will never forget your precepts: for with them you have quickened me."

This is so exciting. I received a revelation yesterday while reading the above bible verse and it brought me so much peace. This week during Elpizo, Ps Sylvia reminded us to believe according to Mark 11:24 but believe in what? Believe that the power is already at work in us. Sometimes, even though I believe, whenever symptoms show up, and I still ask for the holy spirit to come and quicken my mortal body, I think it is such a futile exercise because I am still feeling the discomfort. 

But the above verse from Psalm 119:93 shows that God's word is true. When He says he quickens, He means He quickens. There is no doubt about it. "Have quickened" is in the past tense. It is not that he is going to quicken, His words have quickened me. I found such assurance in Psalm 119:93! So, when discomfort hits me, I just repeat over and over again, "Your words O Lord have quickened me" and I will then say out aloud all the promises He has given me knowing that His words will indeed quicken me, His words will indeed give me life - God's life and His spirit will quicken my mortal body. :)

Whenever I see my bible on the table, I would normally say "later", but the past few days, i have an inner voice that tells me instead "there is power in God's words" and it is so true. Every time, I read it, He brings assurance to me and just the other day when I gave Alison a scripture that impressed me for her, she said God said the same to her! That is the holy spirit working! Wow! All glory to God! That is what God wants us to do for each other, to love one another, to share psalms, verses and spiritual songs with one another.

Ephesians 5:19 ESV
"addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart,"

All glory to God! Thank you Lord for your rhema word to me.

Update

Update

Exodus 15:26
He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you."

Joshua 21:45
Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.

Jeremiah 30:17
'For I will restore you to health And I will heal you of your wounds'

I was coughing quite a bit just now, the itchy sort that can't seem to stop. I gargled my throat with salt water, took a concoction of grated ginger, lemon and honey, laid down and started reciting the above verses trying to memorize them and say it over and over again.

After reading the book "Bible in the light of our redemption" by EW Kenyon, he also helped me understand that as primarily spirit beings, we use our body and mind. So, it is not our mind that dominates our body. It is our spirit that dominates both our mind and body. So, that is how it works. That means when my mind is renewed after reading God's words, my spirit can command my mind and my body to align itself to God's words. So, when I am lazy to exercise or if symptoms show up like coughing, I can command the laziness and the cough to leave me and use scriptures to tell my mind and body what God says.

If I get too lazy to exercise, I will quote Philippians 4:13 "13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength." this morning was good. I managed to get out with little resistance but it started to drizzle so i had to head back. I will try the stairs later.

As I laid back to recite the scriptures after coughing, my body just calmed down and I did not cough anymore! In fact I went on to sing 50 times Psalm 59:16,17 amended to 'mercy' and 'Healer', I was quite surprised I could sing so long. Truly, it is the holy spirit at work just carrying me to worship God.

I will sing of your mercy Lord
In the morning I sing of your love
For you are my Healer in times of need
Oh Lord, I sing praises to You
You o God, are my Healer
my Loving God.

Praise the Lord for His healing touch and for the power in His word. His words are truly life to us And health to our flesh!

I learned two things from Elpizo this week:

1. Believe.  I walk by faith and not by sight. I gaze on not what is seen but what is unseen because what is seen is temporal but what is unseen is eternal. 1 Corinthians 4:16) God has already healed me in the spiritual realm.  By Jesus' stripes I am healed. I just continue to gaze on the unseen and have faith and it will be established.

2. Believe that the power of God is working in me to heal me. Yes, it is already at work in me. His word says He will restore me back to health and heal all my wounds.

As I walked into Elpizo this week, Maria came to me and said she had wanted to lay her hands on my lungs to pray for me out of obedience to what the holy spirit told her to do. She was supposed to do it two weeks ago but she was caught up in busyness and had not. I was so touched. I longed for her prayers for I was feeling anxious about my chest that few days but I have been binding and breaking myself. I thank God that she obeyed the holy spirit. I teared the whole time she was praying for me. That was all the anxiety leaving me knowing that God was thinking of me. She later confirmed that what i have been doing all this while is gazing at the unseen by faith. Praise the Lord! Praise God for her encouragement to me. :)

5 Senses vs Revelation Knowledge

5 senses vs revelation knowledge
Bible class has made me more aware of who I am in Christ and how to operate in the spiritual realm. Over and above attending classes, we now have two text books to read, one of them being the "Bible in the light of our redemption" by EW Kenyon. The first two chapters made me understand that God made us as spirit beings with a body and soul, so the way we communicate with God is through the spirit. 

Human beings with their 5 senses alone are not able to contact God although "that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse" (Roman 1:19,20). 

Psalm 19:1 says "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." I took Nic and Ethan to the Planetarium near Lake Gardens on Wesak day and we watched "Passport to the Universe" at the Space Theatre (RM 2 for kids, RM3 for adults). To the kids it was just a documentary on stars, more stars, planets and more planets! After watching this movie and reading this book, it made me understand that God made the universe to sustain the earth and God made the earth for us as our home, to be inhabited.

Isaiah 45:18
For thus said the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he has established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

As I watched the movie from that perspective, i was so in awe of God's love for us. Earth is set within the milky way which is set within the Virgo Supercluster which is set within the Observable Universe. Even within the Virgo Supercluster, milky way is mighty small compared to the other clusters. Yet, till today, what is known to men is that we are the only human beings in the entire known universe. 

Without human beings, there is no reason for the beauty of earth's surroundings, there will be no one to enjoy the beauty of God's creation. That is why all the planets discovered so far are plain, unlike planet earth. Earth will always be our home according to the bible. It will be renovated but it will never be destroyed as in our planet being blown up. There may be fire to burn up the surface of the earth. The bible says in 2 Peter 3:10 " the earth and everything in it will be laid bare." We will have new heavens and new earth and now I know the heavens include the entire universe.

Revelation 21:1
 1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.

So, as much as men are able to sense there is an intelligence and super power behind the creation of the universe, we will never know about God's redemption plan for us through Jesus Christ. We will never know more of what God wants to say to us except if we read God's words found in the bible (revelation knowledge). Spirit talks to spirit. So when we pick up the bible, we are reading God's mind through the spirit and that is how our mind is renewed. Without this understanding, it seems such a chore to read the bible!

So, I realized how dangerous it is not to consider the gift of tongues because maybe we think we will just wake up one day with it. Even without tongues, we have the holy spirit but according to Mark 16:17 all of us who are believers can speak in tongues. 

Mark 16:17 

And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues..."

When we pray in the spirit, we are praying to God spirit to spirit and the holy spirit gives us the perfect prayer according to the will of God.

Romans 8:27
And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

It is dangerous to just rely on our five senses to seek God because it will be limited to what is revealed around us through His creation but we do not hear God more than that. 

It is dangerous not to read the bible because we are not hooked to God through the spirit reading God's mind. Accordingly, our minds cannot be renewed.

Then, really, no wonder Christians can be spiritually dead living with just their 5 senses! No wonder I was so close to death. This morning I prayed in tongues with new fervor, it is my language directly with God, spirit to spirit. I don't know what I pray (1 Corinthians 14:2 For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit) but i know I am communicating with Him through the spirit. I know His power is working in me and helping me overcome my laziness to exercise and read the bible! 

Healing session with bro Leong Poh lye

Journaled on 12 May 2011

Healing session with Bro Leong Poh Lye

The first thing he said when he saw us (12 May 2011) he said "You are very brave". I think he means that we trust him to the extent that we come all the way to Shah Alam to find him. He asked us some questions as he was trying to understand in the spirit why we were diagnosed with cancer. He narrowed it down to unforgiveness towards my maid because I really hated her that time but I have since forgiven and released her. He had wanted me to hug and kiss her but I told him she has returned to Indonesia.

Lai Ping was sharing how she have never felt warmth or the way people talk about. Bro Leong was so confident she would experience it today. I wasn't so sure because really sometimes we do not feel anything and really there is nothing wrong with that because the holy spirit is gentle. Anyway, I stood behind her and Bro Leong asked her to imagine Jesus before her and he started praying without touching her. I started to see her slant backwards and then she started moving backwards and although I caught her she kept moving backwards across the room. She laughed. Bro Leong told her not to laugh but she said she could not help it because she was so happy. Bro Leong asked her what she experienced. She said raising her hands in the air "I felt the power of God! I am so happy. I felt warmth". She was so excited! He told her to try again but to just relax but she did it again..she just kept moving backwards as he prayed! Only the third time, she just fell backwards and she laid on the floor for awhile. During my turn, when he started praying, I saw a silhouette of Jesus and I was so overwhelmed by God's love, I started to cry and fell backwards, laying on the floor with tears streaming. He said both of us would be healed because of the anointing. He recommended no chemo for Lai Ping. He says sometimes the holy spirit will tell him to say no operation or chemo etc.

We were overjoyed and praised God. For me, I really knew the answer and this was another confirmation that God will completely heal me. Meanwhile, my mum was praying at home from 2 something to 3 something in the afternoon. She asked God for a sign to show her whether He will have mercy upon me and grant me healing. She thought to herself maybe thunder or lightning because that is something I really love and I always say that it shows the power of God. Immediately, she heard a very loud thunder and she knew God answered her prayer! She said it wasn't even raining then. It was a bit later and after a few rumbles later that it started to drizzle. I wasn't surprised at all because God answered me before by way of lightning when I asked for lightning to route the enemy. I was jumping with joy when my mum told me this.
It was such a wonderful time with bro Leong and to see Lai Ping's
experience, my own experience and my mum's experience. Later at night,
Henry showed me his twit about "a peal of thunder..looks like heavy
rain is coming". It was 3.14 pm. My mum was again delighted. Of all
people, even Henry confirmed hearing the thunder (a long distance from
where my mum was). it wasn't something she made up. Praise the Lord!
You are so awesome!

Bro Leong recorded his song from Psalm 59:16,17 on my handphone and I
played it to my mum to hear. She had wanted to learn the song which
bro Leong asked us to sing 150 times a day! In his cd, he only
instructed for 50 times! I was really skeptical at first because it
should not be works but I know he wants us to sing Psalm 59 because it
is God's words and there is power in God's words. The more you sing
the words of God, the more you come into His presence and enjoy
intimacy with Him and trusting God's words. That is the real purpose.
Bro Leong explained it is like reading God's love letter to you 50
times and calling God a loving God. Would it not tug His heart?  I
have tried it before singing 50 times but I found it extremely
difficult. I can do maybe 10 times but I did not get the tune right
either. But when he recorded his voice and when I got the tune right,
I found myself singing to God over and over again because i was
enjoying the tune too. Still, i wonder if I can reach 150 times. I
don't really want to count because it should be from the heart. He
said after awhile it becomes second nature to us. He told us about
this lady who sang it in the hospital and the nurses loved it and
asked her to continue singing it.  He said God told him to delete a
few words and to replace it with the word "healer" to make it into a
healing song. It goes like this:

I will sing of your mercy Lord
In the morning, I sing of your love
For you are my Healer
In times of need
O Lord, I sing praises to you
You O God, are my Healer
My loving God

It is a song of deliverance sung by David when his enemies pursued
him. The NIV 1984 version of this passage goes like this:

But I will sing of your strength,
in the morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble.
O my Strength, I sing praise to you;
you, O God, are my fortress,
my loving God.

He says it is not sufficient to say "You are my Healer". More
importantly we cry out to God that "You are my loving God".

I see the light

I see the light

We were so amused last night when little Ethan broke out in the following song at bedtime last night. We thought to ourselves "hmmmm, it sounds familiar. What are you singing?". Then, Henry said "it is Tangled - I see the light!" it is really such a romantic song and it is so nice to hear little Ethan sing in high pitch "And at last I see the light". He can't sing all the lyrics and most of them are some mumbo jumbo English but it was heart warming to hear him sing. We started him on drum class and he is very excited about it. Last night he told me about the different drums - floor Tom, first Tom, second Tom, snare drum, base drum and hi hat. Did he get it correct?

All those days watching in the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing 
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here suddenly I see 
Standing here it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be

And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you

Eugene(Flynn)
All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in the blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
Now she's here shining in the starlight
Now she's here suddenly I know 
If she's here it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go

Eugene(Flynn)and Rapunzel
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you

Low Dose Naltrexone and Alpha- Lipoic Acid

The story goes on... big institutions do not want to do things differently. They rather let their patients die. Thank God for Dr Burt Berkson and his Phd. He says people with Phd want to do things differently. He contradicts himself because he is also a MD. Anyway, he talks about the use of LDN together with ALA. Henry and I have heard of this for quite sometime now from the LDN discussion forums but we only realized last week that ALA is easily available in pharmacies. So, I began the combination of ALA with LDN on Monday. This LDN we believe is an open door for us from God and we have committed it to God. Listen to the interview with Dr Berkson at

Exciting Week

It is only mid week but it has been very exciting. I thoroughly enjoyed bible class on Monday and Tuesday because it was so full of anointing under Ps Bernard. He spoke a lot about the book of Acts and encouraged us to read prayerfully each and every page of the Acts. He did that on bended knees and it took him a year to study it. If we are looking at growing our cell group or church planting, this book is very important because we can see the difference in the apostles before and after they were touched with the power of the holy spirit.

He said a lot of times, we are not delighting in the Lord, so we are not disciplined. We need to delight in God so we can have both faith and power. Many churches are on extreme ends. They concentrate on the word of God and so they have faith (because faith comes from hearing the word of God) but they leave out the holy spirit. On the extreme end, we have churches emphasizing on the holy spirit so they walk in power but they have no faith because they do not have the word of God in them. But to have both faith and power from hearing God's word and being led by the spirit, we will walk under the anointing as holy man/ woman of God!

Ps Bernard shared so many blessings upon him, his family and his church in Taiping. His church building is fully paid for (about 3 to 4 million) by small town folks. He said people's mindset in small town goes up to maybe RM200,000 for two shop lots for a church. If you talk about RM500,000, they rave about it. But God blessed his church and it grew and grew. There are no big businessmen to support the church he says. There was one time he found letters with cash adding up to RM100,000 in his letterbox. He comes from a very poor background so it was such a temptation to see so much cash but he did not even want to think , rationalize or pray about it but he just called the treasurer to bank the money for church building fund.

He emphasizes again and again to us that the church/ business/ family/ ministry wee build must be according to what Jesus wants it to be because everything we have belong to him even the fresh breath that we breath daily. If we understand this concept, then we will know that all we have is from God ALONE so that we do not boast in the middle of our ministry or business that it was our doing. There is a reason why He blesses us. It is a supernatural blessing. His wife asked him why he never revealed to her how poor he was when he dated her! He only had RM 5 in his account. Somedays she wonders how he could support their 3 children through school. They were driving past a very rich residence when they had this conversation. Suddenly, he saw RM10 pass his windscreen and he shouted "money". There wasn't anyone around to return the money to. A short distance later, another RM10 flew past his windscreen and a short distance away, a RM5 flew past his windscreen. It was God responding to them that He is the one that will provide for his three children. Today, he can stand before us that God provided scholarships to his 3 children. He dare not allocate which note was for which kid! Such supernatural blessings.

Based on the book of acts, he says the church should be
- a church of faith
- a church of power
- a praying church
- a loving church
- a giving church
- an obedient church
- a supernatural church or a victorious church

Faith will make all things possible if we believe.
Power will make all things work.

He imparted to us all that he had. We were so drunk in the spirit that night. It was awesome. Some cried, some laughed, some slain.

Then I received an SMS from brother Leong that he was making his way to KL again and he wanted to pray for a few people including me! We had to schedule appointments with him from tomorrow 3 pm to Saturday 12 noon so I booked his earliest slot. I will be going with Lai Ping to meet him. My mum is terribly excited because she saw his testimonies in a cd. For me, it is all about being in the presence of God. When we are united and in agreement, the presence of God is even greater. I would rather keep going for healing then to allow the devil to put doubts in my mind. Even if I don't feel any warmth rushing through me, I still believe and I know that God has granted me complete healing because He has said to me so many times in so many ways. How can I doubt my God. So, please pray for me and Lai Ping at 3 pm tomorrow (Thursday) when bro Leong prays for us.

4 testimonies from Elpizo

There were amazing testimonies from four people who attended Elpizo yesterday that demonstrate the supernatural power of God and how His ways are higher than ours. When we do not have God in our heart, we follow the natural, the facts but when we follow God and simply believe His word, we can experience His supernatural healing.

1) Alfie who was diagnosed with stage 4 thymoma cancer
His tumour was quite big - approximately 10 cm by 6 cm. He initially asked "Why me?" A second opinion from a Singaporian oncologist gave him 70% success rate and that gave him hope. As he turned to God, he stumbled upon John 11:4 'When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”' This was a rhema from God and this verse gave him hope that God told him that 100%, he will not die but will glorify Him!  As he sought God, his confiedence in God grew and he stopped asking "Why me?".

He went through 6 cycles of chemo, 3 drips each cycle, so all in all a total of 18 times of chemotherapy. The tumour was almost touching his heart and T7 of his spinal chord so he couldn't be operated on. He had to go through 21 sessions of radiotherapy. The doctor warned him of side effects of the chemo and radiotherapy but through it all, he had minimal side effects, not even nausea! Within 7 months of his treatment, the tumour did shrink to about half. According to his doctor, the tumour is like a husk and in cancer like these, the tumour normally does not reduce much. However, during the last scan in April (about 4 months later), the scan showed that ALL the cancer cells are INACTIVE and the tumour size had further reduced to less than half. Only God can do miracles because He is a supernatural God. Alfie said that God has His timing for all of us, some miracles happen overnight, some bit by bit. So, we just need to patient and just cling on to His words.

Sheri Lim shared that as a believer, our patience is a hopeful waiting in confidence,  trusting the Lord to deliver, but for a non believer, it is a desperate wait in hope, constantly seeking a cure and living in the natural. Sometimes, even Christians have no confidence. That is because they do not have God's words in their hearts. The word of God is about God and the holy spirit. When we have holy spirit and God, we have the power to command the cancer cells to wither and die.

2) May diagnosed with stage one breast cancer

She knows many other women suffer moret Han her because her diagnosis is only stage one. She wanted to share with us how she overcame fear. She was a new Christian then and not a very fervent one. She returned to church to pray. Everywhere she turned or read, God seems to be telling her "Go natural". So, she sensed from God not to do chemo or radiotherapy. She discussed with her husband who also agreed. However, they felt to be safe they ought to do at least 10 doses of reiki (?) radiotherapy treatment. After the treatment, she confided in her close doctor friend who was shocked that she didn't go for the normal chemo and radiotherapy. May felt so terrible after that and she cried to God whether she had heard Him correctly that maybe she made a mistake after all. A pastor prayed for her and gave her a word from God "Jesus says I am the one sacrificed at the altar and not cancer" She still had doubts. When she felt pain, she wondered where there was a recurrence. She went through doubts for a year and then she had a dream. She dreamt she was tearing out from her skin like snake skin, like tearing cancer away from her body. A beautiful angel appeared and said "I told you, you are healed". She woke up and repented " I am so sorry I did not trust you. I will remember your word 'the one sacrificed is Jesus not cancer'". Since that day, her faith grew leaps and bounds. Today she is an intercessor in her church and also serves in the creative ministry! She said it was Satan that blocks messages from God and puts fear in her heart but today she stands victorious!

3) Julia diagnosed of thyroid cancer
Her recent scan showed that she had no more mestatasis. She  constantly had fears of what the scan would show but despite that God was merciful and cleared her from cancer. She sensed God telling her that she must glorify God. She clung on to His word of Matthew 8:17 She seems like a shy elderly lady but because of God's power, she stood before us yesterday to give us her testimony. She told us she disciplined herself to read Sheri Lim's book daily, a chapter a day. She read the daily bread daily. She read five verses daily from Dodie Osteen's book "Healed of Cancer". She read 2 chapters of the bible daily. She shared that her husband is going for baptism soon and we all clapped and rejoiced in the Lord! She is so joyous that she has this longing to serve but she didn't know what she could do so she decided to wash dishes at the senior citizen's group in her church and even in Elpizo!

4) Tina diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2007 - recent relapse

When it was confirmed of her relapse of breast cancer in May she said she had NO FEAR! She says she has the joy of the Lord. In fact, she said she thinks you can rarely find someone like her - fearless of what is to come. She believes that her life here is temporary but she is ever ready to go if the Lord calls her home. She felt lumps in her neck. She said it can't be operated because she may have a stroke and there is only a 5% safe rate. She just wants to glorify God. She said after 10 months of relapse and not doing anything, she was progressively deteriorating. She couldn't eat well and each time she ate and drank, she felt like choking. She could not sing. She opted for targeted therapy. On 8 March this year, she had a ct scan but her doctor wanted her to do a pet scan as well as a procedure on 31 March. She was not happy about the radiation but took the doctor's advice. On 11 March, her friend gave her some Sabah snake plant which she took for 4 days. She also did her fist chemo. The result of the pet scan showed that the tumour shrank a lot! Her doctor is surprised. She can now eat, drink and sing again! She said when she goes for healing rallies, she doesn't feel anything. But she said just believe even when you don't feel anything after the healing session. She thanks God daily for her healing. She said sickness is all in the mind. Just try focussing on God instead and you won't have much side effects. Tina is a lady full of joy. Her doctor recognizes her and she asked why. The doctor said it is because she always comes in smiling when she sees him.

Sheri Lim says that in Tina's case she has experienced spiritual healing. She looks to the Healer and not the healing. She just wants God's presence. If your spirit is strong, it doesn't matter if we die physically because the fact is, we can die anytime. She gave us a verse from 2 Corinthians 4:17 "17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all." so ww should fix our eyes on what is unseen and not what is seen. As our spirit strengthens, healing spreads from inside out, first from our spirit to our soul ( ie mind, emotion and will) and from our soul to our body. It is like an egg. Spirit for the yolk. Egg white for the soul and egg shell for the body. 

You have been good to me

You have been good to me

After this morning's devotion on Philippians, this song came to my mind and as I sang it, i was so deeply moved. I just opened my hands to receive more from God because i believe there is more. He really has been so good to me. I pray you too will be blessed.

I believe there is more by Don Moen

You Have Been Good To Me
You have been good to me
You have been good to me
You have been gracious
You have been faithful
Meeting my needs

Lord it’s so plain to see
You have been good to me
I have been given so much I can’t even begin to thank you
And still I believe there is more, I believe there is more, I believe

So I open my hands to receive
All that Your love has in store
Lord I believe

Everything I have done
All that I have said and sung
Lifting Your story
Giving You Glory
That’s just the beginning

Father I know there is more
Power to heal and restore
Miracles wonders
Blessings unnumbered
Love never ending

Exceedingly abundantly
More than our minds can imagine
Love overflowing
You are bestowing
Day after day after day
Lord I believe (3x)

God will complete it and God loves

Philippians 1:6

"For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus."

Ps Bernard taught us last night to use the bible to pray and i tried it this morning and felt Philippians was such a good place to start. 

I prayed "Father, I thank You for Your faithfulness in my life. I thank You that You who have begun a good work in me, You who have granted me healing, will complete what You have started in my life.  Lord, on the cross, you said "It is finished". So, i too declare that it is finished. Father, You have already begun to turn my situation around. I know you are going to heal my body completely.  Today, I put my  trust and full confidence in You knowing You are working behind the scenes to bring this victory to me! In Jesus' name. Amen!

Another verse that caught my eye was:

Philippians 1:9
 "And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment,"

God has been really good to me the last week despite the fever, cough and muscle cramps in the thigh. He gave me two opportunities to lay hands and pray for the sick and another opportunity to invite the sick to a healing session. The best part was as I was doing His work, He blessed me with a special visit from KT Ong and Agnes from church. That same day, I was also blessed some Sabah snake plant from LP's garden and yesterday, some lovely hill rice and barley from Kuching from C. I was thinking, this is how heaven will be like. God is already preparing us now to love one another and though sometimes we fight and don't see eye to eye, we must see God's bigger picture. He is actually preparing for us in heaven to be united in love. That is why we love because God is love and heaven is filled with love. We will forever be rejoicing in God and loving one another with no pain, no sickness, so sadness, no tears. We will be feasting and cooking for each other and helping one another and all nations will come together worshipping the Lord! How lovely heaven is going to be! 

Father God, thank you for teaching us now and giving us a glimpse of heaven!  Lord, teach me to love others more and more. Teach me to love like the way You do. Let me grow in real knowledge of You more and more daily of how and why You first loved us. Show me Your word daily, feed me that my faith will increase more and more. Holy spirit, guide me, anoint me afresh that I may walk in your power. Help me walk daily in faith and power as Your holy spirit leads me to love others more and more. In Jesus' name Amen!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day

Proverbs 31:29-30
 “Many women do noble things, 
   but you surpass them all.” 
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; 
   but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

I heard that the little children will be presenting something on stage this morning in church but little Ethan is already telling me he is too shy. I have been trying to encourage him to go and so I tried again this morning. "Nooooooo!" was his reply. So I said, "I give you supernatural power from God, I give you boldness, I give you helmet, I give you knight, I give you sword, I give you armor, I give you fire!" Then, Ethan replied "Okay lah". Ha ha ha. Well, we will see later this morning. That is what I call importation of boldness from the Lord! :)

A very happy mother's day to all mothers out there and especially to Sook Yian, my sister in law who just delivered baby Elesha on 6 May 2011. Little Elesha has abundant hair and pretty lips! Happy Mother's Day to my dear mummy who sacrificed so much of her time to look after me during this difficult time and to my mother in law who happily looks after Nic and Ethan during the week days. 

Oooo, just got a kiss from little Ethan! Thank you Lord for family! :)

The church is earnestly praying for me

The church is earnestly praying for me

A few mornings ago, after praying in tongues, I asked God for a word from the bible. I flipped open the bible and it fell on Acts 12:5 and as I put myself in Peter's shoes, I realized that God was trying to tell me something!

Acts 12:5
"So Peter (Liz) was kept in prison, but prayer was being made earnestly to God for him (her) by the church"

Yes, it is true, my church, the body of Christ in many parts of the world has been earnestly praying for me and each time I ask for prayers, I see miracles happen. The last was just last week when the cough calmed down and the fever disappeared shortly after i asked for prayers. It was also the same week that Brother Leong Poh Lye came to town and laid hands on me to pray for me as well.

I read on and it talked about how Peter was freed from chains, how an angel helped him escape from the first guard and then the second guard and all throughout, he did not actually believe it was happening. Sometimes, that happens to me to. I have a tad of spirit of unbelief in me and I know that is what is holding me back from receiving more from God. Remember the man in the bible who said to Jesus "Lord, i believe, help my unbelief". Somedays I cry out to God like that and Acts 12:11 told me not to doubt God anymore. I sense God say to me "Doubt no more Liz, doubt no more".

The angel has led me through the trials and have brought me to the iron gate that leads to the city, where victory is! Last Wednesday, Elaine gave me another word from God "The thief is destroyed. Victory is yours. Just believe, believe".

Even Peter confessed in Acts 12:11:
"Then Peter came to himself and said "Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent me His angel and rescued me...."

How awesome is God! I knew this was God's rhema for me but I was unsure to write about it until last night during bible study (Session 6 of "Praying in Power" by John Ortberg), Henry whipped out this verse again and I was so surprised! God had just only spoken to me and He is speaking again to me so I shared with my group last night what God said to me. We have such a loving God who never letsus go. Even when we aren't sure, He comes again and speaks to us! I will never doubt You ever again Lord! 

God's kingdom ALWAYS WINS over darkness!
