Closer To God

I am currently reading a book by the name of “The Apostle Of Hope” – The Dr Kriengsak Story, by Carolyn Boyd. In fact this book is about the life of Dr Kriengsak, our Hope Founder. It is an incredible story of a Buddhist convert who has planted over 100 churches in just a few years and is pasturing the largest and fastest growing church in a most Gospel – resistant region (Thailand). The concepts and principles revealed can be applied in our lives, in fact in the world! A MUST READ!

As I read, I manage to learn a lot of things from Dr Kriengsak, especially his passion and faith towards the living God. Currently I’m practicing to build a really intimate relationship with God, His Son and The Holy Spirit by doing at least an hour of quiet time each day. (Dr Kriendsak did 1 hour in the early morning and 1 hour before sleep… I can only do it before sleep coz still struggling to wake up… ;p)

Since I started my first quiet time, I encountered tremendous experience with The Holy Spirit and I hope there are more great experiences to come. In fact my mind are so much clearer on my vision now and I am prompted to write a couple of topics on my life experiences which probably can help some people reading this blog…

Well, maybe before I start my “marathon” journals, I will just list out the topics I hope to cover and you guys decide for me which one come first:

1. Hand-In-Hand with The Holy Spirit
2. My vision on building the God’s Kingdom
3. European Outreach
4. Let’s talk about SEX
5. How God answered my prayers

Ok for now. Time to sleep, but stay tune to this blog for my journals… I'm praying for the Spirit to put what's in my mind into black and white...

Good night friends, may God speak to you in your dreams too!

Amen.

Great to hear from you!

Ok, hopefully by then there is new assignment for you... keke =)

Take care and study hard ya!

And also, remember to pray as well... If you dun know how, just start with "Dear Father in heaven...(your prayers)..." and end with "In Jesus name, Amen." Simple right? =)

Jesus ever said, "...Let the children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." (Luke 18:16-17)

So as long as you have a faith like a child, God will not forsake you... Simple right? =)
