I went to the stall to claim the items that I had purchased online. The stall owner told me to pay him 18 dollars. I felt that he had overcharged me but I decided to pay the amount he said. I did not check and verify the items but willingly I paid him 18 dollars. I accepted whatever he offered to me, both the price he required me to pay and the items he gave me.

Eighteen - put on: judgment; destruction; captivity; overcome; put on (the Spirit of) Christ.

Judges 10:7-8
Luke 13:4
Luke 13:11,16

God is the Master (Owner). He has the right to decide but not me. I have to pay the price required by Him, not according to the price I can pay or willing to pay. Whatever portions He is giving me, I trust in Him and His decisions. The price the Lord required of me to pay is this: to overcome my "old self" (judgement and destruction of old self), bring my mind into captivity to the obedience of Christ and to put on the Holy Spirit (Christlikeness). I pay the price He said and accept the portions He gave me. I am in no position to negotiate.

I was preaching to my husband in the dream. He was convicted by the Spirit in the dream.
"You thought that without God life is exciting and no restriction. In fact with God life is adventurous.
We cannot come to God for the sake of good life and blessing. We come to Him for desiring Him and to know Him."

I was on assignment or ministry and I was filling up a form. A address was written but after it was strike away and replaced with Cornerstone.

Do not look at this and look at that and ask the Lord for counsel and negotiate with Him. This is not the way of the Lord that He should guide you.
When the Lord leads you to His way, you will know in your spirit that it is from Him. Obey and go without hesitation. Sometimes you knew it that you didn't even have to pray about it. The Lord has before placed in you and when the door is opened before you you know that it is from Him. Immediately hop into that path and He will guide you step by step.

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, And saw My works forty years. Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, 'They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My ways.' So I swore in My wrath, 'They shall not enter My rest.' " Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, while it is said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."
Hebrews 3:7-15 NKJV

"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.  But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.  To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.  And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.  Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."  Then Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.  All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.  I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.  The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.  But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.  The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.  I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.  As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.  And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. "Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.  No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father." Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me.  But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.  My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.  And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.  My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand.  I and My Father are one."
John 10:1-5, 7-18, 25-30 NKJV

A Prayer for Purim & Beyond:

Lord, we pray that the Holy Spirit will release revelation to the leadership of the global body of Christ to be modern day Mordecais who help prepare Esther – the bride of Christ – for her task of standing in the gap against the demonic forces of Haman manifesting in many different forms today. We pray for a Holy Spirit Border Patrol Guard for our cities and nations, and especially for Israel and the Jewish people worldwide. Holy Spirit, we ask you to anoint the reading of the book of Esther in these days. Awaken the "watchmen worldwide" to unite together to extinguish the fiery darts of the evil one for Your Kingdom's sake! Amen and Amen!

As Watchmen on the Walls!

I was walking and crossing the road with husband. He walked further apart from me. I caught up with him and asked him why he departed further from me. He hesitated to tell and then he teared and expressed his deep loneliness.

We were staying in hotel for a reason.
In the morning, I was rushing to drive the girls to school. The hotel did not provide breakfast so I quickly made bread.
Selyn was at the driver's seat, I was beside her and Sammi was at my left. The car was moving without anyone driving. I began to take control of the steering wheel. The car was moving at a very slow and steady speed. There was no time for me to exchange seat with Selyn as the traffic was ongoing.
The vehicles in front stopped and I controlled the steering and shouting to Selyn to step on the brake but Selyn did not understand. So I used my right hand to touch the brake to stop the car.
I thought I can stop at the road side to take over the driver seat but it was not possible as the traffic was heavy.
The car came to a wooden bridge, the bridge was very steep. The car climbed up the steep bridge and then drove down to the steep bridge as we cross to the other side. Though the bridge was narrow and steep but the car was moving steadily. I saw people carrying baggages on their back coming forward waiting to cross the bridge. I was amazed that our car able to get on the bridge though it was narrow and steep.

*The Holy Spirit is leading and controlling.
I have to let go and flow with the Spirit.

Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry. And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, "Let no fruit grow on you ever again." Immediately the fig tree withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, "How did the fig tree wither away so soon?" So Jesus answered and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' it will be done.  And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."
Matthew 21:18-22 NKJV

Faith filled prayer

What is meant by faith filled prayer?

E.g. Why after prayers n fasting, the concert of Madonna still go on?

What we are proclaiming vs what we are seeing

Faith is dynamic
How much faith we hv in beginning depend on the measure of faith given by God
But How much faith we hv at the end of our life depend on us
Faith free from doubting. When declaration is made, the word of God shall be established.

Faith has to be tested
1 Peter 1:7

When you hv faith you will be faithful.

Faith is a gift
Faithfulness is the fruit of the Holy Spirit
Jesus' perfected faith

Impossible situation become logical - faith

Excercise of faith impressed Jesus
Unbelief astonished Jesus

Mark 8

Are you affected by:
Religion spirit
Political spirit
Kingdom of heaven?

Disciples saw Jesus powerful miracle of multiplication of bread and fishes, but they doubted when they forgot to bring meals.

Israel saw miracles but they did not connect with God but moses saw the nature of God

God always put us in environments that we have to wrest through. He is building our faith.

When God does a miracle it is always an invitation to us to go deeper.

Miracles suppose to shift the way we see things in life

An act of faith is recorded in God's book.
Important in God's heart

God will answer prayers relating to unjust

Is our God a good God ?
Is our God dependable trustworthy?
Is our God all powerful?

2 samuel 21

Find out what God really want

Crisis oriented prayers - only crisis we pray

There is more God wants
Pray according to His will

1 John 5:14-15

I was walking into an auditorium with people, many students wearing CHIJ uniform.

Before that I was taking a lift, I intended to go with a lady to minister to someone. But she seemed to try to get rid of me. My impression was we should minister in at least two (Jesus sent His disciples out in two), not alone. But she seemed wanted to do it alone. I lost her when she went out of the lift without waiting for me. I went into the auditorium but I could not find her so I went searching for a seat for myself. When I came to the last row of the seats it was blocked as the seats in the front rows had yet be filled up. So I went forward to the front rows again to look for a seat.

LK from cell had this dream:

I had a dream last nite and I seldom dream .. We were all having a evangelistic cell mtg in hse with quite a few rooms and when the guests start arriving , the groups streaming in is coming in waves of group ...

When you are joyful, be joyful; when you are sad, be sad. If God has given you a sweet cup, don't make it bitter; and if He has given you a bitter cup, don't try and make it sweet; take things as they come.  Shade of His Hand, 1226 

I was sitting at the driver seat of our family car and my husband sitting at the passenger seat beside me. The car was moving and turning at reasonable speed without anyone controlling the steering wheel. I was not doing anything to control the direction or speed of the car even though I was sitting at driver seat. I was watching as the car moved and turned.

At one point I decided to interfere and I caught hold of the steering and began to drive the car. When I stepped on the accelerator to increase the speed but the car did not seem to travel faster. I stepped on the brake but it was too stiff. I told my husband that the brake was stiff. He replied me but I couldn't recall what he said.

Interpretation:
Let the Holy Spirit be in control and direct for the ministry of family (family car).
I am using too much of my own effort instead of commit to the Lord through prayers, supplication and intercession. I have to let go and let the Spirit of God take control and direct us as a family.

Worship the Lord when you are in pain, hurt and anger. Commit your children to the Lord and He will direct your path and the path of your children. Commit your husband to the Lord. The Lord know him better than you and He sees his heart. Do not strive or make your own effort to protect your belief and faith. I know your heart for Me. Be confident that I am for you and not against you.

Thank you Lord!

Isaiah 50:10-11 NLT Who among you fears the Lord and obeys his servant? If you are walking in darkness, without a ray of light, trust in the Lord and rely on your God. But watch out, you who live in your own light and warm yourselves by your own fires. This is the reward you will receive from me: You will soon fall down in great torment.

The discipline of dismay is an essential lesson which a disciple must learn. The danger is that we tend to look back on our times of obedience and on our past sacrifices to God in an effort to keep our enthusiasm for Him strong (see Isaiah 50:10-11). But when the darkness of dismay comes, endure until it is over, because out of it will come the ability to follow Jesus truly, which brings inexpressibly wonderful joy.

Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more. So he said to them, "Please hear this dream which I have dreamed: There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf." And his brothers said to him, "Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?" So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words. Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said, "Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me." So he told it to his father and his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, "What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall your mother and I and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?" And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in  mind.
Genesis 37:5-11 NKJV

The functions of dream:
Speaks to us thru dreams and gives instruction
Warns us of impending events
Gives solutions to problems
Tests our hearts in the dream

Received the rest of God

Peter began to say to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You." —Mark 10:28

Our Lord replies to this statement of Peter by saying that this surrender is "for My sake and the gospel's" (10:29). It was not for the purpose of what the disciples themselves would get out of it. Beware of surrender that is motivated by personal benefits that may result. For example, "I'm going to give myself to God because I want to be delivered from sin, because I want to be made holy." Being delivered from sin and being made holy are the result of being right with God, but surrender resulting from this kind of thinking is certainly not the true nature of Christianity. Our motive for surrender should not be for any personal gain at all. We have become so self-centered that we go to God only for something from Him, and not for God Himself. It is like saying, "No, Lord, I don't want you; I want myself. But I do want You to clean me and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I want to be on display in Your showcase so I can say, 'This is what God has done for me.' " Gaining heaven, being delivered from sin, and being made useful to God are things that should never even be a consideration in real surrender. Genuine total surrender is a personal sovereign preference for Jesus Christ Himself.

Where does Jesus Christ figure in when we have a concern about our natural relationships? Most of us will desert Him with this excuse— "Yes, Lord, I heard you call me, but my family needs me and I have my own interests. I just can't go any further" (see Luke 9:57-62). "Then," Jesus says, "you 'cannot be My disciple' " (see Luke 14:26-33).

True surrender will always go beyond natural devotion. If we will only give up, God will surrender Himself to embrace all those around us and will meet their needs, which were created by our surrender. Beware of stopping anywhere short of total surrender to God. Most of us have only a vision of what this really means, but have never truly experienced it.

We have no right to judge where we should be put, or to have preconceived notions as to what God is fitting us for. God engineers everything; wherever He puts us, our one great aim is to pour out a whole-hearted devotion to Him in that particular work. "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." My Utmost for His Highest, April 23, 773 L

I had a dream.
A closet woman was going to die, she seemed to be my mother but yet she was not my earthly mother. Once I saw her face as Jean my previous cell friend. I wanted to get close to her and just sit beside her but there were people going to her and I had no opportunity.

I woke up and I know He is telling me that loving Him is my assignment. A willing assignment. Loving Him to the extend of even givimg up my life at His will, not my will but His. He decides not I decides for His vessel (me).

你会不顾一切,毫不犹豫地爱我,信靠我,降服于我吗?

I was on an assignment.
Ps Yang was the boss and he had men with him.
The business was about distribution of best preserved food such as seaweed, dried cutterfish and ikan bilis (in airplane).
I was assigned to investigate on a counterfeit of similar products (cutterfish) spreading in the market.
A man handled me the counterfeit sample for my investigation. In the dream, i did not hv to work on the case alone, my impression was I supposed to work with another man and to convey the message of assignment to him. I was like a mediator. Before I met with this man, I  ironed out or straighthen my shirt. I was not to tell others abt my assignment.

I was sitting on a chair drinking soft drink 7Up. I handed the same can of 7Up to my husband (who was lying on the sofa) asking him whether he wanted to drink.

I was at my working desk, my computer was switched on. It was an open concept setting. I was quite unsettled at work and was quite idle (not fully occupied at work) and it was making me frustrated. I was concerned of people behind me may peep into my computer to see what I was doing or noticed that I was actually not doing anything.

Another scenario:
I was walking to my workplace. I passed by the void deck and saw Samuel sitting there. I did not approach him but continue my walking but realised that I was lost. I was not walking towards the workplace. I turned back toward where Samuel was but only to realise that the man was not him. I began to find my way. However, I felt a sense of difficulty in going forward, it was like what I had been dreaming about, walking but couldn't go forward. It took a hard and great effort for me to take every step while walking to the direction I was going. It seems like there was also demonic attack in the dream as I saw a ritual ceremony was going on at the void deck.
