I went to Plaza Singapura yesterday for a personal retreat and prayer. Its so true that when you seek Him, you will find Him. I just need to dig deeper to find out His will and direction but results have been encouraging so far.

Fact:
"We shouldn't be troubled in the flesh. Was Jesus troubled in the flesh? Didn't He go forth with perfect victory? ......Even your eyes have to be sanctified by the power of God so that they strike fire everytime you look at a sinner, and the sinner will be changed."
| Smith Wigglesworth |

Imagine that... Being anointed with such power and carrying the aura of the Holy Spirit with you everywhere you go. Gives me something to aim for. Brokenness... It is such a Godly aspect but too often we're waiting to be broken before we are ready to be used by God. Why must we be forced into a place of wretchedness & hopelessness before we are willing to surrender ourselves wholeheartedly?

"A broken spirit and a contrite heart/ He will not despise"
That is all God wants. Not a broken heart or a broken body. Although He can use us despite these problems, it doesn't give God a chance to use us at our best. He needs this so that there's no pride or selfish ambition in the way. We all know what stumbling blocks those can be. So the key here is willing, selfless surrender.

"Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation."
| Psalm 91:14-16 |

This is what is promised when we abide in Christ. What Jesus did every morning was to spend time with God and wait till God poured out His Spirit on Him. (Mark 1:35-37)
Where the Holy Spirit is, revelation is promised, freedom is promised. (2 Corinthians 3:14-18) Only when we are filled with the Holy Spirit, will we reflect the Glory of God.
