Faith is a verb? by James MacDonald

One time in the Gospels it says that Jesus couldn't do much in the town "because of their unbelief" (Matthew 13:58). Wouldn't that be an awful thing to have said about your home, about your family, about you? Jesus couldn't do much in or through you because of you just didn't believe Him. "Lord, why don't You do more in our church?" Could it be because of people's unbelief?

Faith is the key. God's promises are activated by faith. Faith is not passive - it's an action verb. Don't say, "Well, I'm just waiting here. Maybe God will work; maybe He won't." What are you doing about it - Well, not much.

It's like the sick guy who needs to get better, but he doesn't go to the doctor. That's foolishness. You've got to do what you can.

Like the girl who is looking for a husband, but never goes to the Young Adult meetings at church. She just sits down in her basement. "My husband will have to find me here." Yeah, that's not a great plan. Do what you can!

Like the person who's filled with concerns and wants to have hope, but has never read the Bible.

It's God promises that give us hope. How many Scriptural promises do you know? How many promises have you memorized? How many are on the tip of your tongue? Well, no wonder you're filled with anxiety! No wonder you don't have any hope! You're not holding onto anything.

Get your heart around some of the exceedingly great and precious promises of God! Hold on to what God has said in His Word. Someday you're going to be in a difficult situation and the enemy will be try to pull you down but you've got God's Word hidden in your heart. His words will flood you with courage and fill your life with faith.

"God helps those who help themselves" - is not in the Bible but it is a biblical concept. Faith has to be active to be real. Remember the guy in 2 Kings 5 who had leprosy and Gold told him he had to go dip in the river? In faith, he had to do what he could. Like the woman in poverty in 2 Kings 4 who had to collect containers to hold all that oil God was giving her - she did what she could. Like a warrior heading into battle, he has to pick up his weapon.

Put some action behind what you believe and watch God work.

Revolution Sitiawan

Thank you God for all You've done in Sitiawan for the past weekend!
I am sure the work has begun and will continue until God says it is finished.
It was a blast and coming together as different denominations in one body of Christ to worship together!
Great ministry time, especially dealing with my own struggles and breaking free from all bondages.
I am going to surrender Everything into God's hands.
Not going to hold anything back anymore.

I am really blessed by the sermons by Pastor Dave, Pastor Andy and Pastor Kenneth!
May God give me the strength to live my life for Him!

Let's all spread this world with the LOVE OF GOD!


We want to run to the altar
And catch the fire
To stand in the gap between the living and the dead
Give us a heart of compassion for a world without vision
We will make a difference bringing hope to our land

How can i be a change in this community? In my country?

It's through God's love.
But if we don't spread God's love, then it's over!

That's what i learn from REVOLUTION yesterday night.

I have the vision, but still not putting it into actions yet.
Have not speak up, stand up and show up.

I believe it's not too late yet.
So, are we ready to make a difference?

Give thanks in all circumstances

And the ball keeps rolling............

Fine getting to the point.
If those of you whom i may not have told, since only my college friends know about my missing purse.
I dropped it at college on Wednesday after my class.
Did not realise it went missing until thursday morning when i was packing my bag.
I was 'Oh No where did i put my purse?'
The hunting began. Search high and low for it.
Went to college ask the office whether anyone return my purse.
But the answer was no, sorry.
So i was quite worry and sad because my bus ticket, ic, atm card was inside my purse.

Yet in my heart a little voice said: ' Give thanks in all circumstances.'
My dad also reminded me to Praise God although my purse was missing.
And with a heavy heart i came back using the money i borrowed from my housemate.
Reached home and still asking God that it will be found.

And you know what??????????
This morning as in Friday, Mr Michael my college's student services director called me.
He told me: " I don't know why is your purse on my table, but just calling you to inform you that it is with me."
Hallelujah! All my important documents is still inside, hopefully my money too.
But well it's a lesson to be learn, no matter how hard life may be, just give thanks and God will reward you!
Gave my parents a big, big hug! Because i was so worried!
Thank you for those who cared, helping me to find my purse!
=)
And also thank you to the big, great and wonderful God up there who is always watching out for me!
Love you all!
