Readings from Isaiah 41- 45
The Lord is with you and has called you!
Amen and these are the words I received from the Lord.
The world may collapse around me, but my purpose for you is clear.
I am already past my mid life, Lord let me waste any more time, use me Lord.
I know I am not righteous, my heart is filled with dirt, not worthy. I have wasted my time, I pray that you will make them up.
Open my eyes that I will see the day of the Lord coming, that the day will come and I will see the desert turn into pools of water and river flow in barren heights.
the day the Lord I will soar with the Lord like wings on eagle to see the lost coming back to the Lord. Amen.
Isa 41:18 I will open rivers on the bare heights,
and fountains in the midst of the valleys.
I will make the wilderness a pool of water,
and the dry land springs of water.
Isa 42:6 “I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness;
I will take you by the hand and keep you;
I will give you as a covenant for the people,
a light for the nations,
7 to open the eyes that are blind,
to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,
from the prison those who sit in darkness.
Isa 43:10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor shall there be any after me.
11 I, I am the Lord,
and besides me there is no savior.
12 I declared and saved and proclaimed,
when there was no strange god among you;
and you are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and I am God.
Isa 43:18 “Remember not the former things,
nor consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
Isa 45: 2 “I will go before you
and level the exalted places, [1]
I will break in pieces the doors of bronze
and cut through the bars of iron,
3 I will give you the treasures of darkness
and the hoards in secret places,
that you may know that it is I, the Lord,
the God of Israel, who call you by your name.

Luke 11:1-13
When the dicisples asked Jesus how to pray, He gave them a template. That was because they have asked for one just as John had taught his disciple how to pray.
Jesus followed by a stroy of a man in boldness asking for bread for his host. Jesus followed by stating that ask and you will be given, seek and you will find, know and it will be open for you.
What is the story has to do with prayer? Is our God like the sleepy man who refuse to wake up to open the door to give bread to the asking man?
Jesus finally conclude the story as evil man we know how to give good gifts to our children, how much more is our God who give us not only good gifts but the Holy Spirit!
There is no need for a template for prayer, not that we need one. But how often do we pray? How often have we ask, seek or knock? God is not like the sleepy man, He is the God of the how much more, who gave us the Holy spirit!
When we work, we work and when we pray, God work- a phase by Ps Edmund Chan
He wants to bless and he know why we want the bread for, will he not give. As a father, I know what my child need before he ask, how much more my God know, do I still need to pray?
Yes, with boldness like the man who ask and with God who has given us the Holy Spirit, surely much much more the Lord will desire us to come not to ask for good gifts but to commune with Him.
Amen.

It has been sometime that I have not blog my time alone with God.
Reading the word is like building a house, planting a tree. Once you stop, the buidling stop, the growth stops. The maintanence stops.
Rev 1-2
Repent!
I serve a God of who knows.
Rev 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
“To the angel of the church in Ephesus, v4 But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.
God knows. It is not about doing, speaking or acting what is right or righteous. It is your heart. Where is that first love?
It is easy for others to see what you don't do, but in the secret, the checking is done by no one but God. Nobody knows, but is your heart still right with God. He searches the deepest part of our heart - that is when the real test come. I have failed, sorry. But I repent, because I want my God who loves me. Not to do something right for others to see, but to do the right things for Him when noboby sees.
I serve a God who has the power and the authority.
2:1 him who holds the seven stars in his right hand
What other controls do we need? v14 But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality.
Why then do I still hold on to things that I think can give me that freedom, that control. Give back the control, that steering wheel to Jesus who direct your destination.
I wanted so much control and have refuse to let go of what I think I know best. Repent, for Jesus you take the wheel. I no need to be that somebody that nobody needs to know, but I just need to be that nobody that my Jesus knows.
I serve a God that dwells among men.
2:1who walks among the seven golden lampstands
2:20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants [3] to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
Whom do you choose, and what do you choose? What compromise I have conceded to accept the world and Christ? I have not choose the Lord my God first nor major in what is important to me.
Repent, for I am a child of God and my God dwells among me. In His presence that I may allows god to do His will in me, not I to do the will of God. He has chosen me, but I have compromise the full acceptance of christ in me.
god has promise and has reveal to us and to me great promise that I will soar with Him like wings on eagles. Lord, I come back to you. My strength is weak and my will withers. Lord, I come simple back into your presence, accepting your authority for indeed you are a God who was and is and is to comes.
