At the beginning of the shelter in place season, God caught my attention to do a 40-day fast, and the verse that came with it was “man shall not live on bread alone but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God” so I started a 40-day Bible reading plan. The variety of things that had filled my life prior to covid I no longer have, but personally it was a blessing in disguise for me because it enabled me to go deeper into what I had remaining -- God, His Word, and being able to worship. This has been a season for me digging down my roots deeply, where I was not distracted by the voices of the world or even my friends, and was able to tune into God and be closer to him than ever before. O I pray that we can dig our roots deep, deep down and be changed so that we may be transformed, equipped, and prepared for whatever comes in this next season. 40 days (20 OT, 4 Ps, 7 NT) Old Testament (20 ch/day) Psalms (4 psalms/day) New Testament (7 ch/day) 1 Genesis 1 - 20 Psa...
Note from Jan 2021: But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them -- yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. (1 Cor 15) You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. (2 Tim 2) The end of school is near, I’m graduating next year Unsure about what to do now Or where God has called me to There should be more to life than marriage, jobs, and comfort I’ve been wondering how to live my life “Do what you wanna do, pursue your passion” I am told, but beyond my career Isn’t there a reason you put me here I wanna know “To live with God, to live for God, to love your God with all your heart” Yes I know, but can I ask about something personal to me Why Vancouver? Why Comp Sci? Why Worshipers? God tell me how to spend this life These are the questions I bring to Higher Calling And I hope to hear your voice there, to know your will for me It’s time to see what you will do When I put my tru...
God wants you to be free from trauma, so that you can be the person He designed you to be. God wants you to be healed of woundedness, so that you can be free to move forward. God wants you to be free from unforgiveness and bitterness, so that you can be lighter and soar as you were intended. God wants you to be free from people who've hurt you, words that have pierced you, so that you can move forward. He wants you to be free from the past, so that you can look to the future. And he wants to help you get free. He acknowledges your hurt, He knows your pain. He felt your pain. You were not alone, He was not distant. When you were hurting, He was hurting with you. He wants to help heal your heart, so that it'll be whole. Throw off everything that hinders, fix your eyes on Jesus. Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past; see, I am doing a new thing. Do you not perceive it? The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because He has anointed me to preach good news t...
I was at magic sand and was riding the waves, and at some point they got big and I was upside down in the waters It was kind of a wake up call spiritually because it reminded me that the smaller waves that come are training us for the big one that's coming (I keep hear a big wave of revival is coming), and that we don't decide when the waves come It felt like I was going, God I just wanna rest, I thought this trip was supposed to be resting and refreshing, and instead i was hit with more waves, and I was reminded that I should be thankful for these waves because without them I won't be ready for the big one I tapped out for the physical waves (they got too big and I drank some water and I was like, I'm out) but I'm not tapping out of the spiritual training We are soldiers in the Kingdom of God 2timothy: Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs--he wants to please his commanding officer...

When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7) Teach us to seek your face, not your hands But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (Matthew 6:33) 혹 내가 하늘을 닫고 비를 내리지 아니하거나 혹 메뚜기들에게 토산을 먹게 하거나 혹 전염병이 내 백성 가운데에 유행하게 할 때에 내 이름으로 일컫는 내 백성이 그들의 악한 길에서 떠나 스스로 낮추고 기도하여 내 얼굴을 찾으면 내가 하늘에서 듣고 그들의 죄를 사하고 그들의 땅을 고칠지라 (역대하 7:13-14) 주의 손보다 주의 얼굴을 구하게 하소서 그런즉 너희는 먼저 그의 나라와 그의 의를 구하라 그리하면 이 모든 것을 너희에게 더하시리라 (마 6:33)
Prov 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. 16:2 All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the LORD. 21:2 I want to exhort you on the desire to have a pur motive before God, to want to do right by Him. I think that's wonderful, and a good desire to have, and that God is pleased by it. I remembered Hebrews 3:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any double edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. I think discernment and purity is important, because we can be right intentioned but not 100% pure, etc. But we will get to more purity, etc., not as we search/focus internally (though sometimes necessary) but more as we meditate on God's Word. Because it is the Word of God that divides soul/spirit, judges our attitudes, not our limited understanding. I remember Abimelech and Abraham and Sarah, how God kept ...
