The prayer of the righteous avails much


Prayer meeting today was great. combined with other churches in praying is totally awesome.
The worship was great even though (hate to say this but) the drums weren't that great but the timing and all was good... ok forget the technical side.

The speaker tonight was Pastor David Crabtree from Australia.. at first i thought it's ok but when He started preaching it was so passionate. Totally caught my attention. He was refering to the passage in Acts 3.

Now i know where my prayerfull instincts come from... my parents.. he was praying for people and all in general.. then he called those who were intecessors to stand then i saw my mom and dad stand... then i knew... :D. really appreciate my parents for what they are i mean the good side hehe. prayed for leaders of the church in penang..
It's awesome to see the church in Penang gather together to pray.. ( am saying church coz we are the church not the building) There was unity in the room.. and one time Ps David asked us to listen to what God wants to say and i felt God say He was proud of us. i almost cried :D.
Ps David was very encouraging... he said thet sometimes we hear God saying things to us and we think that we are not worthy of it but as a matter of fact we have been made worthy when Jesus died on the cross. It's true that we are not worthy on our own, but through Jesus all are made worthy.

Been reflecting on lots of things lately..
one of the things was are we being Christ like as christians. Do we really act the way we should? i know there are many times when the flesh come in and only later when we realized what we've done but it's too late. It's just simple small things that we aren't aware of. In our daily lives, like driving.. do we drive the way we should? are we following the rules and all that.. or when someone cuts our line.. do we let them pass? or do we curse them... or do we pray and bless them. When we order our food.. and it's not what we order.. do we scold the person? or do we treat them nice and tell them properly? or do we just take it? it's our everyday thing that we just dun realize because it has been part of us and a habit for years.. We should always be an example and reflect God in our lives. I for one am not perfect and have many flaws.. recently was around with my classmates and we were talking about laziness and all when i generalized a particular race to be lazy.. it's true that a lot of them are lazy.. but we shouldn't discriminate and say they have brought this on themsleves. when i generalized.. one of my classmates who wasn't a Christian but knows a lot about catholics and some bible stuff said.. that a devout Christian should not discriminate and that totally hit me.. immediately i said a prayer to God for forgiveness.. people are watching us even though most times they do not say anything but it's a fact that as Christians we are being watched closely for any thing that we do, by people and also by the enemy. So live our lives as an example always.. and this will be my message in April :D

ps: those who visit.. read 1 Tim 4:12 through and through.
