Day 2 of Rhema Open House 2004... What can I say? I'm constantly reminded why I want to go Rhema. The fire of passion is just contagious. Doesn't make it any better that people I know are going in before me. Maybe its pride. Maybe I don't like to be told about what I found out about first. Maybe its just male competiveness... Jealousy. But I should be glad for them. I just have to wait and be patient and change my perspective about this.

Today we learnt about the power of the tongue... That we have been given the authority to have what we ask for.
1) Say
2) Do not doubt
3) Believe

Too often we believe without saying... the word 'say' is repeated 3 times in Mark 11:23. Shows how important it is to speak it out. But its not just saying something. It involves knowing what power is behind those words and knowing whats in store for us. We need faith to believe that the things that God promised us in the bible will come to pass. And not waver when things seem to be going wrong. I think God is trying to tell me something cos its like He's been building up to this for quite a while.

Went shopping with my parents and Lynette just now... Bought a whole new formal wardrobe from John Little at Plaza Singapura... 2 new shirts, a pair of pants, boxer shorts, a tie, a belt and 6 pairs of socks. All for under $100... =D
Came back home exahausted... Shopping takes its toll on me. Slept for more than three hours. Woke up at almost 9 for dinner.

The thought that comes to me is. I know it is possible, but it requires a lot of change, a lot of effort. But the difference is where I am in all this. I'm not in a pit struggling to please a God who is far away ignoring my plight. He's a good God who has pulled me out and seated me beside him. He's given me what I need. Its my choice whether I want to win or not. Do I want this mountain around?

::: Verse of the Day :::
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, "Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
| Mark 11:23-24 |
