His Nature and Our Motives
…unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. —Matthew 5:20
The characteristic of a disciple is not that he does good things, but that he is good in his motives, having been made good by the supernatural grace of God. The only thing that exceeds right-doing is right-being. Jesus Christ came to place within anyone who would let Him a new heredity that would have a righteousness exceeding that of the scribes and Pharisees. Jesus is saying, "If you are My disciple, you must be right not only in your actions, but also in your motives, your aspirations, and in the deep recesses of the thoughts of your mind." Your motives must be so pure that God Almighty can see nothing to rebuke. Who can stand in the eternal light of God and have nothing for Him to rebuke? Only the Son of God, and Jesus Christ claims that through His redemption He can place within anyone His own nature and make that person as pure and as simple as a child. The purity that God demands is impossible unless I can be remade within, and that is exactly what Jesus has undertaken to do through His redemption.
No one can make himself pure by obeying laws. Jesus Christ does not give us rules and regulations— He gives us His teachings which are truths that can only be interpreted by His nature which He places within us. The great wonder of Jesus Christ's salvation is that He changes our heredity. He does not change human nature— He changes its source, and thereby its motives as well.

Dream 14 July 17
I was counselling my younger sister through the phone.
She was saying something about giving support to the government of Singapore. She felt not many people contributed, only she and her family and a small community doing the work.
I spoke to her and said she wasn't alone doing all the work. Every individual contributed in different way as part of the country. Sometimes you see but even if you don't see doesn't mean they were not contributing. By being a citizen each was contributing in what he or she was doing.
I was speaking very clearly and orderly n wisely in the dream.

The first type of plant at the 1st row from left I was told the name, it was tiny plant with several petals (water crest) The 2nd row was big leaves looked like vegetable without stalk. The 3rd row was another kind. I decided to carry it to ps Daphne house as it was for her. I asked for help of another lady. We carried it together out of the door then I was alone carrying and she asked to to carry to the stool n place it there. While she went to get a trolley.

While Q ing, a group of people came n a lady was doing something n then she asked the group for money 50 cent each for the jelly. I asked her to help collect money n after that she offered me to take a cup jelly after I used the toilet.

Deborah like a moses. you are holding a stuff like moses. represent power and anointing, strongest anointing and power.
God put you in this place in 3 years period.
Not just a function but you have to believe it demonstrates it and do it.

Reap the harvest - a sickle
Hold the weed. represent harvest
Judah need to be united as the enemies was coming. suppose to get rid of all enemies. execute the way demonstrates god mercy and judgement
put an end to the power ruling at that time
god intention is for all of us to demonstrates the light of God
when you approach this there is a preparation phase
understanding of god righteousness.
Jonah knew god but his understanding of god righteousness is not correct.
how fast you learn god righteousness, you can have acceleration
god has different way of doing things.
e.g. saul killing the wrong person. he had no understanding. some Christian can be so zealous for god that they don't understand god
some thing don't make sense. mercy don't make sense
Jonah felt they reserve to be punished, why god spared them
Prostitutes etc attracted to Jesus
The people that hated you or hitting you are the people deserve it

You are there to teach others though you don't believe it. good teaching is done by modelling.

9 May 17 calling
Outpouring of Holy Spirit. Overflowing of the Holy Spirit.
Things that I been seeking asking and praying for n responded to. Acts - apostles filled with HS several x. Baptism only 1 x
Encounter related to what I responding to, what I seeking for and what is in my heart.
Also a burden the Lord gives. Crying uncontrollably. He shows me a part of His heart.
God is responding and giving me answer to what I responded to the calling of missionary.
Knowing and doing it. Choose how and when to do it.
Ask God what to do about it.
Life complicated.
Known earlier would be easier.
God can do but I have to count the costs in the beginning.
3 things:
1) main purpose of my life
2) Hear from Him how He made me
Not quantity but specific
Must get thing very right.
For him as example - missionary
& took him a long time to find out God made him as a investor. Different way of doing missionary.
Investor also take the risk to invest.
Many other things God gave to do but be focus on the big picture. A single thing God gives to do. Prophecy, wisdom helps him to do what God gives him to do.
Gift of not get marry.
A book written abt us but another book also writing at the same time. If single definitely easier n be right in the will of God. Man made decision n choices that have to live with it. It may be better. In our free will God also want to bless us. But now we need to be focus.
If there no satisfaction in our lives something is not right. When not doing what my life suppose to be, when we choose God, these things start to surface. Holy Spirit gives us how much we can take. Things inside my life things I believe that are not true must allow God to deal them.
Always be full of the Holy Spirit. Fullness of God. Be filled with God.
3) what should I do now? Starting to count costs. Ask for wisdom to help in understanding of what I should do now.
Rebound quickly. Learn from beginning. Get hurt but must turn hurt disappointment into joy.
**Find out how I operate?**
Look at how pple make decision.
Reflect back.
God is fully in charge of me.
Make sure really led by God
Walk on water.
I have to know broad n specific picture.
To know what would happen min by min of my life. What God has for me in the moment by moment time. See forest from the tree n see details as well.
Wisdom - understanding, knowledge, discernment
Power of HS combined with words of God
Hear the words of God all the time
Live out unconsciously.
Become part of my life.
Make decision. Rubber hit the robe. It's going to costs me everything.
Need to know how to overcome
Ask God shows us what my future
Don't want blessing with sorrow.
Go thru pain disappointment n suffering
In every circumstances at state where your love is unconditional.

Prophetic words - Lex 28 Jun 17
Honey - sugar
The Lord wants to feed me with honey. God will sustain me in any circumstances. During famine no honey but God will feed me. God wants to assure me. In any circumstances the Lord will feed me with honey. Represent best of the best. I need to elevate myself to the point of acceptance.My mindset hinders me from believing that I am worthy and accepting the blessings of God.
All I need to do is to receive it. Honey is good for nourishment and blessings for me. Receive it gladly. I need to walk out the Queens ship. Queen deserve blessings from the Father. God gives the best. The girl will gladly accept from the Father without reasoning.

Psalms 30:6-7
Psalm 30:6 "In my prosperity." When all his foes were quiet, and his rebellious son dead and buried, then was the time of peril. Many a vessel founders in a calm. No temptation is so bad as tranquility. "I said, I shall never be moved." Ah! David, you said more than was wise to say, or even to think, for God has founded the world upon the floods, to show us what a poor, mutable, movable, inconstant world it is. Unhappy he who builds upon it! He builds himself a dungeon for his hopes. Instead of conceiving that we shall never be moved, we ought to remember that we shall very soon be moved altogether. Nothing is abiding beneath the moon. Because I happen to be prosperous today, I must not fancy that I shall be in my high estate tomorrow. As in a wheel, the uppermost spokes descend to the bottom in due course, so is it with mortal conditions. There is a constant revolution; many who are in the dust today shall be highly elevated tomorrow; while those who are now aloft shall soon grind the earth. Prosperity had evidently turned the Psalmist's head, or he would not have been so self-confident. He stood by grace, and yet forgot himself, and so met with a fall. Reader, is there not much of the same proud stuff in all our hearts? let us beware lest the fumes of intoxicating success get into our brains and make fools of us also. Psalm 30:7 "Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong." He ascribed his prosperity to the Lord's favour - so far good, it is well to own the hand of the Lord in all our stability and wealth. But observe that the good in a good man is not unmingled good, for this was alloyed with carnal security. His state he compares to a mountain, a molehill would have been nearer - we never think too little of ourselves. He boasted that his mountain stood strong, and yet he had before, in Psalm 29:1-11, spoken of Sirion and Lebanon as moving like young unicorns. Was David's state more firm than Lebanon? Ah, vain conceit, too common to us sill How soon the bubble bursts when God's people get conceit into their heads, and fancy that they are to enjoy immutability beneath the stars, and constancy upon this whirling orb. How touchingly and teachingly God corrected his servant's mistake: "Thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled." There was no need to come to blows, a hidden face was enough. This proves, first, that David was a genuine saint, for no hiding of God's face on earth would trouble a sinner; and, secondly, that the joy of the saint is dependent upon the presence of his Lord. No mountain, however firm, can yield us rest when our communion with God is broken, and his face is concealed. However, in such a case, it is well to be troubled. The next best thing to basking in the light of God's countenance, is to be thoroughly unhappy when that bliss is denied us. "Lord, let me weep for nought for sin! And after none but thee! And then I would - O that Imight, A constant weeper be!"6, 7. What particular prosperity is meant we do not know; perhaps his accession to the throne. In his self-complacent elation he was checked by God's hiding His face (compare Ps 22:24; 27:9).30:6-12 When things are well with us, we are very apt to think that they will always be so. When we see our mistake, it becomes us to think with shame upon our carnal security as our folly. If God hide his face, a good man is troubled, though no other calamity befal him. But if God, in wisdom and justice, turn from us, it will be the greatest folly if we turn from him. No; let us learn to pray in the dark. The sanctified spirit, which returns to God, shall praise him, shall be still praising him; but the services of God's house cannot be performed by the dust; it cannot praise him; there is none of that device or working in the grave, for it is the land of silence. We ask aright for life, when we do so that we may live to praise him. In due time God delivered the psalmist out of his troubles. Our tongue is our glory, and never more so than when employed in praising God. He would persevere to the end in praise, hoping that he should shortly be where this would be the everlasting work. But let all beware of carnal security. Neither outward prosperity, nor inward peace, here, are sure and lasting. The Lord, in his favour, has fixed the believer's safety firm as the deep-rooted mountains, but he must expect to meet with temptations and afflictions. When we grow careless, we fall into sin, the Lord hides his face, our comforts droop, and troubles assail us. |

Devotion 6 July 17
The Lord says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control." Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the Lord . So rejoice in the Lord and be glad, all you who obey him! Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure!
Psalms 32:8-11 NLT

Word from my utmost highest - my dearest Friend
The Lord said not to neglect Holy Spirit, not to forget that He is here and He is in me. He is my BFF, Comforter, Friend, Counselor, Strength, Wisdom and Breath, without Him there is no lives, without Him I cannot function. He reminded me of Katherine K who was very closed to HS though she had never seen the Lord Jesus. Jesus said He returned to the Father so that another Helper will come and He will remind us what He had said and done when He was with the disciples.

26 June 17 afternoon nap dream
We were at the park (outdoor).
Dian was on the phone with his wife. I overheard his conversation. It was very solemn stern serious and authoritative conversation.
He was very straight very direct and no beat around the bush. The contents I heard it very clearly. Every sentence was clear to me.
It was like God speaking to Israel and Judah in the book of Jeremiah. Israel and Judah were liked unfaithful wife to God. God free her from slavery and redeemed her but she had forgotten Him.
Another scenario was at the eating area. Dian was quiet he was sitting at a table eating his food. I wanted to greet him but he seemed angry (like God angry of the rebellious Israel and Judah) very stern. I hesitated & whispered to him but he didn't hear and didn't respond.
After everyone was gone from the eating area. I scoop some porridge with duck meat from the water heater/dispenser, intended to feed Selyn but I remembered she didn't want me to feed her anymore as she told me she had grown up and she could feed herself.
I feel this dream is figurative. It speaks of Father God's authoritative figure as a Father.
The conversation was stern and serious, direct and straight without any turning without beating around the bush. Father God's firmness as a just God and His love for His people is manifested through His direct words of righteousness and justice.

Dream 1 July 17
I was with Esther. We were walking when suddenly she was sweating and seemed to in pain on her abdomen. She bend her body. I was with her and immediately I carried her with both of my arms. I knew I can't stand up straight with her in my arms so I called for the people surrounding to help support me from squatting position to stand up position with Esther in my arms. The people responded immediately and they circled me and support me to stand up.
After that I was alone carried Esther to find the specific lift to get to her house (we were at the void deck of her block). At first I went to a lift but it wasn't the right one so I walked to the other lift. I was shown the unit no I had to get to, couldn't recall exactly but I asked the HS and it started with 11-113 the first numbers came to me when I asked HS.
Praise the Lord ! Yes, give praise, O servants of the Lord . Praise the name of the Lord ! Blessed be the name of the Lord now and forever. Everywhere—from east to west— praise the name of the Lord . For the Lord is high above the nations; his glory is higher than the heavens. Who can be compared with the Lord our God, who is enthroned on high? He stoops to look down on heaven and on earth. He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump. He sets them among princes, even the princes of his own people! He gives the childless woman a family, making her a happy mother. Praise the Lord ! Psalms 113:1-9 NLT
I trust in the Lord for protection. So why do you say to me, "Fly like a bird to the mountains for safety! The wicked are stringing their bows and fitting their arrows on the bowstrings. They shoot from the shadows at those whose hearts are right. The foundations of law and order have collapsed. What can the righteous do?" But the Lord is in his holy Temple; the Lord still rules from heaven. He watches everyone closely, examining every person on earth. The Lord examines both the righteous and the wicked. He hates those who love violence. He will rain down blazing coals and burning sulfur on the wicked, punishing them with scorching winds. For the righteous Lord loves justice. The virtuous will see his face. Psalms 11:1-7 NLT
