TIME IS TICKING; make every second count

Hello again everyone; its been a hectic days with this and that and also several ministry traveling last week and finally i got some time out to write; im writing the notes in Bogor City (the city of my husband and his family). This city has been always our transit city before ministering in Jakarta. And wow, you have no idea how much i want to tell you my whole story, my whole experience, and my whole thing these days.

Being in two different island in one day, being in many different places in one week, and doing great things are what satisfied me these weeks. I realized time is ticking, so i want to make the very best in my every time, and i've been re-prioritize my priorities since then.

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12

Ajarlah kami menghitung hari-hari kami sedemikian, hingga kami beroleh hati yang bijaksana. Mazmur 90:12

I don’t really care about what I do until I was almost 30, and then after 30 I begin to really care about what I should do and what I shouldn’t. And now being almost 32 is so hilarious but its not always easy, especially when you realized that you still need a lot of thing to do, a lot works to do. I tend to have a different mindset and a different focus; because im kind of thinking that im running out time here and don’t wanna waste each second. I even am imagining me walking with a ticking clock on my forehead. …. and yeah i know its kinda freaky.

I don’t know at what age David prayed God to teach him to number his days; but that’s what I need, that’s what we need nowadays. But Moses also prayed this prayer one time in the bible, and I’m sure we should do this too.

There are 365 days in a year, and its 8760 hours in a year. God gave us this precious gift to each one of us everyday: 24 hour a day to live. You know, TIME IS SO PRECIOUS! TIME IS MORE THAN MONEY! (Because we cant buy time with our money). Time is the most expensive thing in our lives. How we treat our times shows how rich we are.

a. Time is a gift from God; that we should use our time wisely and multiply it.

How you use your time in your daily lives reflects how grateful you are to the Giver. We value our time by doing the best we can do in this time we have. We value our time by using our time to impact this world we live in and even better impacting the eternity. Good news that We can multiply our time by multiplying ourselves. I have a beautiful assistance that helps me to do everything I need to do. She’s very good, fast, and the most important: she’s single! All the man, you should consider her yet you should pass me first to get her. LOL. I multiply my times by multiplying myself to her – and the result is: I got the works done and I can even do double things at the same time.

b. Time is the greatest gift we can give to others (mostly to GOD)

People tend to look for the most expensive one regarding giving a gift – but for me “YOUR TIME” is the greatest give you can give to someone else. When you give money to others, you can still get another money another day, but when you give your time, you would never return that time. Soon your today become yesterday, and in a short time, this year will become the old days. You will not get another time another day; because today is only happens once.

When you give your time to somebody, you are telling somebody that he/she is very important, you are telling him/her that you’re focusing your life, your attention, your mind, your heart to him/her. Never underestimate your conversation with somebody – and count each second to be the most memorable moments with that person, because those times would never return. Dont waste your time in silent mode when its time for you to speak up.

Now, it’s a good thing to evaluate your day; since it’s a gift from God – how have you been using your time these lately? Have you been ‘hiding your gift (time)’ and just to keep it for yourself – how about the idea of multiplying your time? And since it’s a greatest gift that you can give to others (and mostly to GOD) – some of you might thinking about giving the big amount of money each month for the church, but let me tell you something: the church might use your money, but God doesn’t need your money, He wants you (your time). Have you tithe your time? Have you give your time to talk to God, or even to listen to Him, or even better to give yourself in the ministry? Because im sure you still have some time to do that.

Time is precious, time is short, and tomorrow isn’t promised. It means that no one know when our life is going to end even though our life are fix before God. The Devil is in their best shape and strategy nowadays: They're not hiding the truth, they're not even scares us and bring us straight to hell. What they do then? THEY SLOW US DOWN. They will say "No need to hurry, you still have so much time". So peeps, Don’t hide your time but give your time (not for yourself only) as long as you can and as long as you have for God and for people. Don’t delay any important things, the essential things, get your priorities in order, be fast and have faith!

The Overflowing HOPE

Hello again, this morning i had a morning prayer with the leaders and i was so filled with God's burden and i couldn't stop my tears since like i don't know; its like the stock of my tears are never empty, its always there these few days. Actually today i didn't plan to write a notes, because i don't have any idea what to write... until the noon came hand in hand with the Whispering in my ear saying one word "H O P E" and since then, it was like floating on my ear, on my tears, and penetrated into my heart the whole day.

Its been a long time since i know this word and barely not experiencing the word of "H O P E". Embracing this word today is like chewing a sweet soft cake and it kinda feel 'oke' until i accidentally found the word in the bible,

Semoga Allah, sumber pengharapan, memenuhi kamu dengan segala sukacita dan damai sejahtera dalam iman kamu, supaya oleh kekuatan Roh Kudus kamu berlimpah-limpah dalam pengharapan.
Roma 15:13 (ITB)

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Rome 15:13 (NIV)

What a life changing moment for me personally! This "HOPE" is surely what the world needs nowadays, this is so like a water in the dessert. Hope is a vital thing in life, its even CRITICAL - because living without hope is hopeless, we're going to loose everything, we're going even to loose ourselves. HOPE IS WHAT I NEED, HOPE IS WHAT WE NEED!

What ever you are facing now, dont give up yet! When things around you were not supporting you and you feel like all alone; you feel like failing again and again, you feel like decreasing and not feeling excited, and you have the silent yearning for something better in your life : HOPE

This thing that makes me carry on This thing that makes me moving on This thing that makes me keep doing what im doing now This thing that makes me keep holding on is THE OVERFLOWING HOPE- me

Our source of HOPE is God and God alone. Its only in Him, our hope is not gonna be forever a hope. Its only Him, our hope is becoming reality and even more. Every human has a HOPE, even its a small, its still a hope. But in a life survival, we don't just need hope, we need THE OVERFLOWING HOPE that can only be found in God and can only be given by God. That's why, fix your hope on God today. Don't give up yet! (*talking to myself*)

Dan pengharapan tidak mengecewakan, karena kasih Allah telah dicurahkan
di dalam hati kita oleh Roh Kudus yang telah dikaruniakan kepada kita. Roma 5:5 (ITB)

And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out
into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. Rome 5:5 (NIV)

I say WOW to myself and right now im just pointing up to heaven with tears and say "You're amazing God, yes You are, definitely!" -So don't give up people - there is a hope if you hope on God. Let me know if you need help on this topic.. Let the overflowing hope become your clothing and accessories today. Happy Saturday peeps and see you in church tomorrow! xoxo

Ssshhh and Listen

Hello everyone; for me Monday is like another new day that the Lord has made and for me Monday to Saturday is my day to apply and to do everything that I've heard and learned on Sunday.

Well, yesterday (Sunday) was a FULL day for me and my spirit also FULL with the ministry and the services and also a LOT OF conversation with Ps Troy Marshall. It was amazing and i wouldn't want that moment to ended actually,
but it has to end anyway or i CRASHED! seriously .. hahaha.

Buat saya, hari minggu itu hari terpenting dalam sepanjang minggu; karena apa yang terjadi di hari Minggu akan menentukan kekuatan atau kelemahan saya dari Senin sampai Sabtu. But the most important thing is; what i heard on Sunday will determine what im gonna do on Monday to Saturday; and of course what im about to do on Monday to Saturday will determine my future success or even my eternal success. Now, lets learn something today where ever you are.

Jadi, iman timbul dari pendengaran, dan pendengaran oleh firman Kristus. Roma 10:17

Sebab seperti tubuh tanpa roh adalah mati, demikian jugalah
iman tanpa perbuatan-perbuatan adalah mati. Yakobus 2:26

IF .. IF .. IF on Monday to Saturday, we dont have anything to apply to our lives from what we heard on Sunday, then we were not actually listening the word of God. Because when you really listening to the word of God, you will heard something raise from your heart (thats when the faith also raise); and the faith will keep pushing through from the inside out - because it desire to do the word of God and because without deeds "faith is dead" or maybe "there is no faith all" and it means "you're not hearing Him, yet"

Take a breath now ...
So, what about yesterday? Did you really listening until you HEARD something? Karena Iman timbul dari pendengaran dan pendengaran akan Firman Tuhan.

Apa yang kita dengar melalui telinga jasmani belum tentu mendatangkan iman; tapi apa yang kita dengar melalui telinga rohani kita akan mendatangkan iman. Faith comes through hearing the whispering of God in your deepest heart (its your spirit), and once He touch your spirit, you will ALIVE again. (faith will raise, and make you rise up like never before). And i need faith - well i don't about you and your life, how complicated it may be, how hard it may be, how stressful it may be, so that's why you need faith everyday. The key is to really listening until you heard something.

So, first we must really listening until we heard something (UNTIL FAITH COMES) - while of that, we need to shut down every voice: the voice of your problem, and also the voice of your mind. Until Faith comes, then you're ready to step out and do something. If you still don't have idea what to do after you listening, then i suggest to go(as back to the 'listening' step. (ask someone you can trust if you can). If you think that you have faith, but then you're not doing anything according your faith, then maybe 'you don't have enough faith' or 'you don't really got the faith', then go back to the 'listening' step. Make yourself 'SHHHH AND LISTEN'

Happy Listening everyone! and Have Faith in what ever you do today! Move a mountain today, shall we?
xoxo

Seeing with your heart; SEEING THE INVICIBLE

Hello Saturday and Hello you, you and you - Its a good day for you to fly like a beautiful butterfly. But before you do and whatever you have planned for today and where ever you are; im praying that this note would somehow reminds you, equip you, and even empower you for today. This is actually the series of my notes "Matters of Heart" so you can just read them with just clicking the tags "matters of heart". Enjoy the reading!

So many times in our lives, we only see what this eye can see perfectly. Waktu orang-orang matanya mulai kabur (bolor.red), mereka panik dan mulai mencari cara supaya mereka melihat dengan jelas. Karena kegiatan ‘melihat’ ini definitely is the most important thing in life. Dan ini membuat panca indera ‘mata’ kita jadi bagian yang gak diragukan dan gak disangkal jadi bagian yang terpenting. (semuanya penting juga anyway.red)

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.

For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Cor 4:18

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Matt 5:8

Kalo kita bandingkan dua perkataan diatas, ada koneksi yang begitu kuat antara ‘mata’ kita dan ‘hati’ kita. Infact, our heart is another eye in our lives. Dalam hidup kita, ada masa-masa dimana semua yang keliatan sama kasat mata kita gak menyenangkan. Tell me more; mungkin keadaan kita, kondisi hidup kita, kemiskinan kita, kesusahan kita, dan bahkan hal-hal yang rasanya gak mungkin kita hadapin. Dan kita mulai depresi dengan semua yang kita lihat.

Don’t give up too quickly. Karena kita punya ‘mata yang lain’ yaitu ‘hati’ kita untuk melihat apa yang tidak terlihat. This is so important to fix our eyes to what is unseen – for what is unseen is eternal. Kondisi mu hari ini yang kau lihat dengan mata itu hanya sementara, kesusahanmu, kemiskinanmu. Kondisi orang lain yang kau lihat mungkin melemahkan iman atau “ah kayanya dia gak bisa berubah”, semuanya itu hanya sementara.

THE INVICIBLE NOW BECOME VISIBLE AND POSSIBLE

1. Seeing Condition

The good thing about seeing with the heart is that we can see whatever we want! We can even create our future in our eyes. Create you best condition in your heart and keep those sight, because its not just about imagination, it is called "faith", and its because "seeing is believing, and what you believe is what gonna happen in your life"

2. Seeing People

Hidup kita ini selalu bergesekan dengan orang lain; Semakin kita dekat dengan orang-orang semakin banyaklah gesekan demi gesekan. The most concern thing in my ministry is putting a value in young people’s live, and its quite stressful (because of the truth that says that I cant change people). Dan, melihat kondisi ini dan orang-orang ini, dan juga usaha yang saya buat, saya putuskan untuk melihat dengan hati dan saya mulai melihat semua kebalikan yang saya lihat dengan mata Jasmani.

SEEING GOD IN EVERY SITUATION AND EVERY PEOPLE

The best thing about seeing the unseen – bukan hanya menciptakan segala hal sesuai dengan apa yang kita mau (dengan iman kita) – but SEEING GOD in everything. When we see God in our condition, in every people we meet – we’ll act differently and we’ll feel differently (*bold note to myself)

Lets just fix our heart (our eyes) to see the unseen thing, because the unseen thing is eternal. And Lets just decide to see GOD in every situation and every people today. The happiest man on earth is the one who can see God in everything; in every trouble, every process, and even in every good things. Have a great Saturday everyone!

Moving UP & Moving FORWARD

It’s a great day, isn’t it? Its been 13 hour since I woke up this morning and still it is so fresh remembering what happened in morning prayer at church. I remembered it still dark when I went out from my house and turn on the car to be heated a while before we flew to the church. So, this is the topic that I’d shared in Morning Prayer. Grab them all!

You know, as a human being we’re all about moving to one place and then another. The moment we are not moving, we are dying. But today, I want to focus about MOVING TO THE RIGHT WAY. If you ever listened to one sentence that often used in order breaking up, people tend to say “life must go on, so lets move on” – This is not the kind of move that I want to talk about. Its not just about moving on without direction or moving on with a wound in the heart. Its about Moving Up and Moving Forward. Come on say that again to yourself:

MOVING UP – MOVING FORWARD

Then the Lord said to Moses, "Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel. You are to worship at a distance …Exodus 24:1 (NIV)

Berfirmanlah Ia kepada Musa: “Naiklah menghadap Tuhan, engkau dan Harun, Nadab dan Abihu dan tujuh puluh orang dari para tua-tua Israel dan sujudlah kamu menyembah dari jauh … “ Keluaran 24:1 (ITB)

Several times in the Old Testament, God appointed Moses and also Abraham to COME UP to the mountain – its like God wants the private place to speak to them, to give them a law (today we often called it as ‘r.e.v.e.l.a.t.i.o.n’). This is what I called as “MOVING UP” or “Moving to God” – up to God’s mountain. This is the first movement that we need to redouble the effort, to MOVE UP (Sometimes to Move Up, we need to traveled on our knees, and many times we need to give up every heavy burden one burden at a time while we’re climbing to finally arrive at the top of the mountain. Up in the mountain, is the place where God will speak to us, giving us a clear direction, or even heal our broken hearted and traumas in lives.

It’s a place where there’s only you and God – face to face just like Moses and Abraham. This is the first and the most important movement in our entire lives, that before we’re moving forward we know exactly where to go, what to do, and why we’re doing what we’re doing now.

In New Testament, Paul told Galatians in Galatians 1:12

“I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.” (Aku menerimanya oleh penyataan Yesus Kristus)

And also see Galatians 2:2

I went in response to a revelation and, meeting privately with those esteemed as leaders, I presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. I wanted to be sure I was not running and had not been running my race in vain. (Aku pergi berdasarkan suatu penyataan)

MOVING UP first before you MOVING FORWARD.

Moving forward is the second important movement; because God is always moving.

By the time we stop moving, we stop following God.

“…let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run (moving forward) with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross…”

Hebrew 12:1-2

Whether you got hurt in the field, or you need some direction for your future, or you are facing your giant nowadays … MOVE UP to the mountain (get down on your knee with a heart that reaching out for Him, with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength), then don’t be too long stuck at your place where you are now – MOVE FORWARD with the eyes that fix on God (only God) – and don’t look back!

Jesus replied, "No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."

Luke 9:62

That’s all for today, I’m moving forward and moving ahead.

How bout you?

Keep STRONG and Do EXPLOITS

Good day everyone! SOOOO glad that i could WRITE AGAIN. Hows life treating you? Hope all is well .. Lets learn something today.

So, its been a week im thinking about this subject, its been a week i meditated the word and bringing my heart back to the core of what is GOD really doing and what is GOD really wants me TO BE. And for one more time, it made me stumbled again at the CROSS, giving my life, re-newing my commitment, re-freshing OUR relationship and YES woohooo .. i know HE is alive and again HE made me FANATIC about HIM. Im all about HIM. My words, my days, my everything are all about HIM. YEs, call me FANATIC, call me FREAK .. i love those words. :-)

Ada satu kata kunci dari NOTES ini, yaitu: MENGENAL. Well its been an "ALWAYS" issue since before the creation, well actually since the OLD TESTAMENT. ITS ACTUALLY been GOD's DESIRE bahkan sampai menjadi pertanyaan favorite bagi Tuhan dan mungkin pertanyaan "intimidasi' untuk Murid-murid Nya waktu itu? :)

One times, Yesus bersama dengan murid-muridNYa dan timbul sebuah pertanyaan dari Tuhan sendiri Tuhan bertanya: "menurut engkau .. Siapakah AKU ini?" dan PETRUS yang langsung menjawab pertanyaan itu. WOW, imagining i was him, i would be so intimidated and a bit trembling thinking about the answer and how can i answer the "what the...?" question without hurting HIS heart YET saving my ass. *lol

SO TODAY as you read this notes, Jesus is asking the same question with the same tone as he asked to His DISCIPLES and He wants your answer. In the end, im going to let you answer the question to HIM or maybe you can share together with us.

All i want to do in this notes, is to TRIGGER you into more knowledge of Him and to gives you some TEST for you to answer HIS QUESTION. Are you ready?

Daniel 11:32
"...tetapi umat yang MENGENAL Allahnya akan tetap kuat dan akan bertindak"

i LIKE the english version:
but the people that do KNOW their God shall be STRONG, and DO EXPLOITS.

1. "The more you know HIM, the STRONGER you are"
Pengenalan itu sebuah kekuatan. Kenal dan tahu itu berbeda jauh. Saya tahu Bruce Willis, tapi saya tidak mengenalnya. Mengenal itu bicara soal HUBUNGAN. Ada relationship di dalamnya, there's a HEART INVOLVEMENT didalam sebuah pengenalan. Di dalam pengenalan, ada pemahaman. Di dalam pengenalan, ada pengertian. SO, what about GOD? Do we really know HIM like we suppose to have? The more i know my husband, semakin hati saya melekat pada dia. So today, there's some question that i want you to answer them quietly and secretly before GOD:
- Do you think you know your GOD?
- Apakah hatimu melekat pada DIA?
- For all these times, have you been STRONG enough?

If the answer is MOSTLY NO, then you need to know HIM. Get to know HIM. If you're not STRONG enough .. then maybe PENGENALANmu akan Tuhan masih dangkal. Karena orang yang mengenal Tuhan akan TETAP KUAT. You shall be STRONG.

2. The more you know HIM, the more EXPLOITS you will do"
i love the word "EXPLOITS". Orang yang mengenal Tuhan bukan hanya akan bertindak, TETAPI akan melakukan tindakan-tindakan yang menghasilkan LEDAKAN. IT simply means: IMPACTING. Ada dampak dari tindakan kita. Gak ada BOM manapun atau sekecil apapun yang tidak berdampak. Lets ask ourselves again this morning:
- Di saat semua orang menyerah, apakah kita ikut menyerah atau BERTINDAK?
- Apakah tindakan kita berdampak untuk sekeliling kita?
- Apakah kita tahu bahwa kita harus BERTINDAK rather than to wait someone?

IF the answer is MOSTLY NO, then you need to know Him. Get to know HIM. Kalau selama ini dalam segala hal engkau hanya diam, dan tidak bertindak .. somethings missing. Because Jesus died on the cross not so that we could just SIT and watch, but for us to MOVE OUR ASS and DO SOMETHING even DO EXPLOITS. If so, .. then maybe PENGENALANMU akan Tuhan masih dangkal. Karena orang yang mengenal Tuhan akan bertindak. YOU WILL DO EXPLOITS.

3."The more you know HIM, the more you will worship HIM"

Why cant people worship Him? or at least enjoying the praise and worship part at church? Ada banyak jawaban dari pertanyaan ini: Well, mungkin sound kurang baik, atau mungkin singers bersuara fals, atau the COMMON thing is orang merasa asing dengan lagunya atau juga orang kurang cocok dengan suasana praise and worshipnya, etc etc etc. BUT you know what, THE MAIN REASON why people cant enjoy the worship time, its because they dont know WHOM they worshiped.

Semakin kita mengenal seseorang, semakin MUDAH untuk kita memuja muja dan bahkan menyembah orang tersebut. The more i encounter my husband in his daily lives; watching him working, eating, enjoying the view while he was asleep and look into his deep eyes .. it BOOST my love for him. I find that its very easy to love him. My anger does not BIGGER than my love; his foolishness is covered, his weakness is covered. Because i know him, i encounter him everyday, i talk to him like everytime, and he is in my mind; my friend, my brother, my teacher, my husband, my soulmate.

SO, this is my answer for JESUS's question: "Essly, menurut kamu siapakah AKU ini?"
Menurut orang-orang, Kau adalah JURUSELAMAT YANG HIDUP. Itu yang pertama saya dengar tentang ENGKAU. Its been 10 years sampai hari ini; BAGI SAYA, Engkau RAJA yang berhati seorang BAPA, Engkau bukan hanya JURUSELAMAT, tapi ENGKAU RAJA. Selama 10 tahun ini, Engkau PENOLONG dan PEMBELA semua ketidakadilan yang saya hadapi. Engkau Tuhan yang juga KEKASIH jiwaku, Memerintah dengan CINTA, Menghajar karena CINTA, dan MATI karena CINTA tapi juga BANGKIT karena CINTA. Engkau BAPA yang layak disembah.

This last paragraph, kita lihat sama-sama apa yang Yesus katakan kepada PETRUS ketika Yesus mendengar jawaban dari PETRUS:

Mat 16:15 Lalu Yesus bertanya kepada mereka: "Tetapi apa katamu, siapakah Aku ini?"
Mat 16:16 Maka jawab Simon Petrus: "Engkau adalah Mesias, Anak Allah yang hidup!"
Mat 16:17 Kata Yesus kepadanya: "Berbahagialah engkau Simon bin Yunus sebab bukan manusia yang menyatakan itu kepadamu, melainkan Bapa-Ku yang di sorga.
Mat 16:18 Dan Akupun berkata kepadamu: Engkau adalah Petrus dan di atas batu karang ini Aku akan mendirikan jemaat-Ku dan alam maut tidak akan menguasainya.

Petrus mengenal Tuhan, Petrus memiliki pengertian tentang siapa YESUS bagi dia. Dan Petrus (yang menyangkal Yesus, yang sembrono, yang plin plan, yang asal ngomong, yang cepet bertindak dan kemudian menyesal) Tuhan ganti dengan istilah BATU KARANG. (melambangkan kekuatan dan kekokohan yang bukan PETRUS sama sekali) dan lagi, YESUS berkata: "Di atas BATU KARANG ini AKU akan MENDIRIKAN jemaatKu dan ALAM MAUT tidak akan menguasainya.

Artinya: Pengenalan mu pribadi akan siapa TUHAN akan menentukan apa yang akan Tuhan NYATAKAN dalam hidupmu dan apa yang akan Tuhan KERJAKAN dalam hidupmu.

So its your turn now to answer the question ...
Selamat mengenal Tuhan, Selamat jadi kuat, Selamat utk bertindak, dan Selamat menyembah!

3 things you must have

Hello again peeps! My hearts are BURNING and it BEATS like crazy (this one is because a coffee *lol)

Well, thinking about a few days back when I had a chance to sit and talk with "echi" and the next day again sit and chat with "presi" and this day READING all the comments about "STIMULATING" things. I realized that most of us HAVE THE SAME issue living in this generation.Each one of us is a "servant YET a leader" for some people, some school, some university, some community CHOOSEN by God Himself and I'm OVERWHELMED how God met us in this world like now. SELAH (pause and just imagine this for awhile :))

Its not easy being a Christian Leader. I was saying to echi that day "kayanya lebih gampang gw kalo jadi manager sebuah perusahaan chiw, gak suka bisa langsung pecat aja and no heart feeling" but IF SO, then we're not IMITATING God.

You know what, CHURCH is all about GOD who is all about PEOPLE. So welcome to the real life, real people, and real ministry when it comes to the "PEOPLE BUILDING"

No worries, I found 3things that we need to have as a leader for you to keep STAND UP and SMILE even the TEARS falling down :-)

1. HATI YANG LUAS
Berhubungan sama orang itu gak mudah. Karena Amsal berkata "besi menajamkan besi, manusia menajamkan sesamanya" so whether you face the older person, or a younger or maybe one level with you; you need to have this kind of heart. Hati yang luasss bahkan lebih luas dari samudera.

2. PEOPLE ENCOURAGEMENT
Untuk hal, gak diragukan lagi you guys are ROCK and the EXPERT .. Even though you were having your OWN PROBLEM, you still INVESTING your TIME to listen, to encourage, and to pray for them or with them. NO DOUBT!
3. SELF ENCOURAGEMENT
Nah, this one the last one that I myself MANY TIMES STRUGGLING to build up myself, myhope, myfaith. BUT, you need to have this. Number 3 is a MUST HAVE. If you cannot encourage yourself, the FAITH won't come, you'll get depress, and one day you'll end up di RS JIWA *ngeri benerr*

Learning for today:
Encourage yourself like you encourage others. Yes like that!! You can maybe see the mirror. But the BEST thing to do this is: SPEAK IN TONGUE. BUILD UP yourself and FEEL the Adrenalin pushing you to the TOP.

(Tonite, I'll finish this notes with all the verses and everything)

But right now, HAVE FUN you all. You are God's idea, God's project, and God's property.

Xoxo

Spiritual yet Fun

Good morning everybody! I just came back from a morning prayer, it was AWESOME, you should be there .. yeah its a bit hard to wake up, BUT then you'll craving for it MORE and MORE. So come tomorrow to our prayer meeting; EXPECTING BIG, TOUCHING GOD, and CHANGES the ATMOSPHERE. So well, this morning im going to share about what i've been thinking this past few weeks along with my 11 years journey in the Christianity. So hows life by the way? HOPE ITS ALL GOOD according to GOD's plan.

LETS BEGIN!
Kita manusia terdiri dari: tubuh, jiwa, roh. Dont you know that our bible specifically mengurutkannya sebagai berikut: roh, jiwa, dan tubuh. Dont need to debate about what should be in the first priority, let me share what i've been through and what i commit my self to be, and what i want you the readers to be. So, siapapun kita specially you;re the NEW BORN CHRISTIAN, you should realize that you are a SPIRITUAL PERSON.

Since 1998, i've met all kind of spiritual peoples:
- VERY SPIRITUAL; everywhere he goes, speak, do, he always talk about spiritual thing.
- SO-SO Spiritual; not too excited about the spiritual thing, more excited about the performance thing.
- NOT SPIRITUAL; everywhere he goes, speak, do, he never talk about spiritual thing.

Well, i've been in all those level of spiritual christianity, and its oke if you've been there too. Its now im going to talk about. So dari tahun 1998, saya bertemu dengan banyak orang rohani, di awal-awal tahun kelahiran baru saya, saya dikelilingi oleh orang-orang yang: BERNUBUAT, mengadakan MUJIZAT, melayani PELEPASAN, dan PENGLIHATAN, et cetera. And i enjoyed every second of it and i LEARNED a lot. BUT YET someday, i saw most of them were backsliding (berbalik dari Tuhan); some of them were BITTER, un-SUBMIT, SINS, and Tenggelam di dalam dunia dimana seharusnya dia jadi terang.

Singkat kata, itu membuat saya menganalisa (oh this is so me *lol), berpikir, dan membuat sebuah rumusan dalam hati yang menciptakan sebuah TRAUMA akan orang-orang yang NGEROH. Kejadian yang terus berulang membuat saya makin TRAUMA dan ANTIPATI.

Lupa tahun kapan, but me and my spiritual children pernah ada di titik dan situasi KITA TIDAK SPIRITUAL. We are THE FUN PEOPLE who goes to Church, we tried to make the church is cool, the community is cool, but YET gak ada isinya "TONG KOSONG NYARING BUNYINYA" Sampai saya bertobat dan menganalisa (oh well, this is so me again *lol) dan memutuskan dalam hati untuk merubah haluan.

Some question that we should answer in our deep heart are:
- You may be a spiritual person, but are a FUN person to be with or to share with?
- You got something from GOD about "someone" and you know that you need to tell it straight, how do you tell them? and so far, what is their reaction hearing about your "revelation" or "vision" about them?
- You are a spiritual person, and how many un-spiritual friend do you have?
- Try imagine you are in somebody's shoes, do you like "you"?

A wise man told me one thing, bahwa:
"Kita harus jadi orang-orang yang EXPERT membangun hubungan dan memperbaiki hubungan" This is the KEY in our SPIRITUAL yet FUN life. We need to remember that NOT EVERYBODY understand about the spiritual thing yang kita dapatkan. Thats why we need to be EXPERT untuk menterjemahkan "KATA TUHAN" kepada orang dan kapan menyampaikannya.

This is what i change from my life:
I have to build relationship with as many people as i can, so that i can be GOD's messenger for their lives. (isn't is VERY SPIRITUAL? -YES it is) and how i tell them about GOD; masing-masing berbeda. How i build them one by one, masing-masing berbeda.

For the fashion people, i need to TALK about fashion. Thats why i need to learn at least know about fashion, and RELATE what GOD SAID to his life. It'll attract for her listening to GOD's word through me. Maybe i can say: Well, every fashion has a designer, and you know what every one of us also has a DESIGNER. etc. IT IS FAR MORE BETTER THAN saying: Repent!! Because GOD is so angry to you, and you know what.. HE IS YOUR DESIGNER, and you are HIS DESIGN.

For the youth people, i have to be like the youth. I need to be with them for a while before i can lead them, guide them, and bring them into GOD's KINGDOM. I have to speak like ayouth, think like a youth, so they will hear me.

For the OLDER people, i have to respect them. Learning not to say: "Saya dapatkan dari Tuhan bahwa bla bla bla .. dan dipastikan mereka akan BEREAKSI and you will not gonna like it.

So, we have to THINK how to be a FUN PERSON to be with, to share lives with, before you can be a SPIRITUAL PERSON to somebody. Its not just about BALANCE, its about "bagaimana hati Tuhan supaya sampai ke orang-orang yang kita layani"

Paulus is a FUN PERSON to be with and a SPIRITUAL PERSON and HE WON lots of people as long as HE lives;
1Co 9:19 Sungguhpun aku bebas terhadap semua orang, aku menjadikan diriku hamba dari semua orang, supaya aku boleh memenangkan sebanyak mungkin orang.
1Co 9:20 Demikianlah bagi orang Yahudi aku menjadi seperti orang Yahudi, supaya aku memenangkan orang-orang Yahudi. Bagi orang-orang yang hidup di bawah hukum Taurat aku menjadi seperti orang yang hidup di bawah hukum Taurat, sekalipun aku sendiri tidak hidup di bawah hukum Taurat, supaya aku dapat memenangkan mereka yang hidup di bawah hukum Taurat.
1Co 9:21 Bagi orang-orang yang tidak hidup di bawah hukum Taurat aku menjadi seperti orang yang tidak hidup di bawah hukum Taurat, sekalipun aku tidak hidup di luar hukum Allah, karena aku hidup di bawah hukum Kristus, supaya aku dapat memenangkan mereka yang tidak hidup di bawah hukum Taurat.
1Co 9:22 Bagi orang-orang yang lemah aku menjadi seperti orang yang lemah, supaya aku dapat menyelamatkan mereka yang lemah. Bagi semua orang aku telah menjadi segala-galanya, supaya aku sedapat mungkin memenangkan beberapa orang dari antara mereka.

AND, i believe JESUS is a FUN PERSON to be with and to share lives with and HE is a VERY SPIRITUAL PERSON (Come on, He is GOD); See how the children mingle around HIM, see bagaimana orang berdosa gak takut untuk berbicara dengan DIA, see bagaimana orang-orang sakit menginginkan DIA, see bagaimana dari para nelayan, perempuan-perempuan, orang sakit, anak kecil bahkan pemungut cukai ber SAHABAT dengan DIA. Selain DIA adalah Tuhan, sangat spiritual, i believe HE IS A FUN PERSON TO BE WITH.

So today, lets check .. apakah orang-orang betah berada di sekitar kita? Rasanya orang berdosa pun menjadi segan kalau melihat kita, because they think we are TOO HOLY, dan apakah orang-orang bersahabat dengan kita yang SPIRITUAL? IF NOT, itu berarti kita harus rubah haluan.

So be VERY SPIRITUAL but YET a FUN person to be with.
Goals: Supaya pesan Tuhan bisa masuk ke setiap orang yang kita jumpai.
Things to consider and to do:
- Be an EXPERT di dalam membangun hubungan dan memperbaiki hubungan dengan level manapun
- Like a WATER; kita masuk ke dalam kehidupan mereka, dan sampai mereka masuk juga ke dalam kehidupan kita, then the WORD OF GOD can easily flows.
- BE CREATIVE to say ANYTHING about SPIRITUAL LIFE. Remember our GOALs: Kita buat segala cara supaya pesan Tuhan masuk, didengar, dan diterima mereka. Tanggung jawabnya ada pada kita.
- Learn the ART OF knowing THE RIGHT TIME to say the SPIRITUAL THING. Well, in this world like this everytime is like a wrong time .. but we need to UNDERSTAND though.
- This is the most important thing: DO IT WITH LOVE.
- STOP judging, REMEMBER names, APPRECIATE MORE than to CRITIZE, Stop talking and just BE an EXAMPLE, BOLD AGAINTS SIN, yet lemah lembut menghadapi orang, LISTEN MORE. If you wanna talk to them you need to HEAR THEM MORE LONGER THAN YOU NEED TO TALK.
- Last but not least: BE FUN, and HAVE FUN in your christianity journey OTHERWISE, you wont be a FUN person to be with.

ps: remember that we are a SPIRITUAL person and have to be SPIRITUAL and discuss SPIRITUAL thing and come up with the SPIRITUAL IDEAS and SOLUTIONS, but you need to BE a FUN PERSON to share about those SPIRITUAL THING specially with the NOT TOO SPIRITUAL PEOPLE or maybe with the NON-SPIRITUAL PERSON. if we ourselves are not a FUN person and really having FUN in our spiritual lives, how come they will believe what we said? *think of it*

So i guess, im gonna leave you to think for a while, if need .. rubah haluan dan change your style.
HAVE FUN TODAY y'all

Faith Works, Faith Matters

Hello peeps, back again!! Cant hold my new THOUGHT now!! Still in the spirit of NEW YEAR, NEW YOU .. im gonna say Happy New Year to all of you. I pray that 2010 is going to be your "This is it" year in every area in your life. Hari ini masih hari kedua di tahun 2010, masih fresh banget dan masih MACET banget di kota tercinta BANDUNG BEAUTIFUL EUY!! People are still in the HOLIDAY ADRENALINE and the MOOD are so HIGH i can feel it, because im in those kind of MODE. *chuckling*

So, malam tadi saya punya agenda mendadak untuk "hangout" sama dua orang cewe luar biasa di hidup saya. Yang satu itu sahabat sejak di kuliah dari tahun 1998 "Dewi Maulina" (Wanita mandiri, GAJI tinggi, a Fashion buyer, a REAL GIVER, kind spirit, beautiful. Her family, Her life, Her struggle, HEr works has mold her into a real special humanbeing and amazing. (can you imagine, we've been together for almost 12 years) dan yang satunya anak rohani saya "Cynthia Rudiyanto" (amazing girl with so much passion, strength, and creativity. Sweet, Fast, a GREAT helper, available spirit, a spiritual mother, CARING, an organizer, OFTEN late *lol* but SPECIAL. Her maturity, Her style are down to earth. Yes, she's GORGEOUS! (Thank God for them). Pertemuan ini sudah beberapa bulan selalu gak jadi .. So tonite i claimed for OUR NITE!!

Normally, we talked about EVERYTHING; the food, the place, the fashion, the people, us, him, her, parents, dreams, future, yesterday, tears, joy.. EVERYTHING. The best part is we discussed thing, we solved things, and we talked about GOD A LOT! The steak is good, but our conversation is BETTER!! Malam tadi, khusus membicarakan mengenai "THE FUTURE" (new decision, new life, challenge, fear, blessing, etc) dan saya ambil kesimpulan semua pembahasan kita adalah soal IMAN or FAITH.

Iman adalah dasar dari segala sesuatu yang kita harapkan dan bukti dari segala sesuatu yang tidak kita lihat. Ibrani 11:1

Iman adalah:
1. DASAR dari segala sesuatu yang kita harapkan
2. BUKTI dari segala sesuatu yang tidak (belum) kita lihat

This is so simple, and this January theme is so all about your FAITH. Apa resolusimu (mimpi, harapan, dan goals) untuk 2010? I tell you, Imanmu hari ini akan menentukan hasil yang kau harapkan mungkin ditengah tahun, atau di akhir tahun. So pengharapan tanpa iman itu seperti mimpi di siang bolong, seperti mobil bagus tanpa mesin, seperti patung cantik tanpa nyawa. Tanpa iman, harapan mu hanya akan tetap jadi harapan. Karena kau gak punya alasan atau DASAR untuk percaya. Iman adalah DASAR.

Iman adalah BUKTI dari segala sesuatu (SEGALA SESUATU) yang tidak kita lihat (yang belum kita lihat). Sesuatu yang kita harapkan mungkin belum terlihat atau masih jauh atau mungkin MUSTAHIL untuk diraih, tapi IMAN merupakan BUKTI bahwa sesuatu yang tidak kita lihat adalah NYATA dan AKAN TERJADI. Iman bahkan MEMBUAT SEMUA TERJADI, bahkan hal yang musthil. IMAN menggerakkan Tuhan untuk membuat semua yang mustahil dalam hidupmu menjadi NYATA.

IMAN membuat orang biasa menjadi tidak biasa, memutuskan hal yang tidak biasa, dan meraih hal yang tidak biasa. IMAN membuat orang berani mengambil tindakan besar, dan IMAN tidak pernah membuat orang yang memiliki IMAN gagal. FAITH ALWAYS WORKS! and FAITH MATTERS! IF you read the bible, you'll find that MIRACLES always happened where there is FAITH.

ABRAHAM - diberkati Tuhan luar biasa, dan sampai hari ini orang masih terus berdoa meng-claim BERKAT ABRAHAM turun atas hidupnya tapi gak semua orang mau hidup seperti Abraham. We want the blessing, but we dont want the process. Dunia yang instant membentuk generasi jadi pribadi yang kacangan dan pengen yang gampang, gak suka dengan tantangan apalagi konflik.

Boys/ man, listen: You gotta be BOLD, jadi berani dan cepat mengambil keputusan, sukai tantangan dan tantang semua "tantangan" di hidupmu, stop making a cheap excuse to excuse your fear, your selfish, and your comfort zone. come on, you're created to be a HEAD, so be the HEAD. You gotta have faith in every aspect in your life, It means taking a radically step to DEPEND on GOD 100%, dont let yourself be the slave for your own flesh and lust. Come on, you're a man and you gotta have FAITH. You gotta take risk, you have to fight, and you will win. Your faith is your weapon to win the battle of life, to live the unfair life, and to stay strong and be a real man.

And girls/ women: Jangan cengeng, Jangan manja, you also gotta have faith. You're created to be a helper (penolong yang sepadan untuk menolong your soulmate someday), if you dont have faith, you'll crash down your man. Someday you have your own child, if you dont have faith, your children also will grow as a weak person, juga cengeng dan manja. You gotta have faith. Faith makes you beautiful. Women are beautiful because they're confident and in her heart, she believe that God is REAL. It makes you calm, humble, and yet it makes you strong to face everything in the world. Your tears is your jewelery, but the faith is what makes you glow.

FAITH is all we need. Dan untuk memperoleh iman, kau harus melangkah dan mengambil tindakan yang gak biasa (bukan tindakan bodoh karena nafsu kedagingan tapi tindakan yang melawan arus kedaginganmu). Untuk naik level dalam iman, mari terus melangkah dan berani percaya kepada Tuhan, berani mengandalkan Tuhan dalam setiap situasi. Tahun ini jangan hemat imanmu, karena Tuhan juga sudah gak mau menghemat berkatnya untuk kita semua. Tahun ini, you gonna break out to the left and to the right, but you gotta move to the left and to the right first. FAITH is all we need.

One last verse for tonite:
Terkutuklah orang yang mengandalkan manusia, yang mengandalkan kekuatannya sendiri, dan yang hatinya menjauh dari pada TUHAN! Ia akan seperti semak bulus di padang belantara, ia tidak akan mengalami datangnya keadaan baik; ia akan tinggal di tanah angus di padang gurun, di negeri padang asin yang tidak berpenduduk. Diberkatilah orang yang mengandalkan TUHAN, yang menaruh harapannya pada TUHAN! Ia akan seperti pohon yang ditanam di tepi air, yang merambatkan akar-akarnya ke tepi batang air, dan yang tidak mengalami datangnya panas terik, yang daunnya tetap hijau, yang tidak kuatir dalam tahun kering,

Faith, Fight, Focus

Happy Sunday world. Well, I planned to present the part #3 I want to be Humble .. But I left the notes on the pc at home .. And I just finished preaching on the first service at Church and how the message Himself moved me .. I just want to share about a lil part of the sermon.

Setiap orang diciptakan dengan sebuah tujuan. Everything on earth actually created for a purpose.

I'm having my blackberry right now , dan bayangkan jika saya tidak tahu fungsi dan tujuan penciptaan blackberry; maka blackberry saya akan hidup di dalam ketidakmaksimalan. Blackberry saya bahkan mungkin akan berakhir mati/dijual dengan harga handphone biasa. Karena saya tahu benar tujuan dan fungsi blackberry ini, that's why blackberry sy ada blackberry yg hidupnya maksimal dan berdampak bagi dunia ini. How can it not? I write a note in blackberry, I posted it through blackberry, I'm a very touchable and reachable person since I got blackberry, and mostly the world is in my hand since I got blackberry in my hand.

If I don't know the exact function of my blackberry, it means that I'm ABUSING my blackberry. Terjadi pelecehan pada blackberry.

Pelecehan - ABUSE - "AB (tidak normal/ tidak semestinya) - USE (pemakaian/penggunaan)

Hal sama terjadi ketika kita tidak tahu tujuan kita diciptkan. I will end up abusing my life. Jika kita tida tahu apa fungsi dan tujuan seoang "istri/suami/pasangan" then we'll end abusing those. Jika kita tidak tahu fungsi/tujuan pernikahan, then we'll end up abusing our marriage. How CRUEL is that?

"Dimana tidak ada wahyu, maka rakyat menjadi liar"
"Where there is no vision, the people will perish"
"If I don't have vision, I will perish"

You have to know where you are going.You gotta have VISION, kau harus punya tujuan di hidupmu. Supaya kau sampai kepada DESTINY hidupmu yang sesungguhnya (tujuan akhir)

I'm gonna share what we have to do in order PURSUING YOUR DESTINY: (mengejar/mencapai tujuan akhir dalam hidupmu)
1. FAITH
FAITH makes you move, FAITH even moves mountain and open a way for you to step up. To reach your destiny you need FAITH. Knowing God is the key to HAVING FAITH.

2. FIGHT
Faith is the beginning, but in your journey (didalam perjalananmu meraih tujuan akhir, you need to FIGHT. Gangguan akan menghadang, Cobaan bahkan godaan akan berusaha membuat kita berhenti. That's why you need to FIGHT.

3. FOCUS
Focus is powerful. Semua pemain basket tahu bahwa untuk bisa mendapatkan 3 points, dia harus memfokuskan matanya, tanganny, dan bolanya ke arah keranjang disebrang sana .. Dan SHOOTTT! You got the point.

FAITH, FIGHT, FOCUS is the ingridient of your maximum life. Until you reach your goal, your destiny.

Here, let me tell you what is our DESTINY since the creation;
1. Genesis 2
"... Untuk berkuasa
2. 1 petrus
,,,Untuk menceritakan tentang kebesaran2 Tuhan
3, Kolose 2
... Kita diciptakan oleh Dia dan untuk Dia.

Guys, where ever you are now, what position you are now, you have an amazing 3 given destiny from your creator. He thinked of you when He created you and He put inside of you a godly destiny.

- Dimanapun engkau berada, jadilah berkuasa (dalam arti kata: menjadi kepala, dan menjadi ahli di bidangmu)
- Dimanapun engkau berada, tujuan engkau adalah untuk memberitakan kebesaran2 Tuhan dalam hidupmu.
- Dimanapun engkau berada, dan apapun posisimu ketahuilah bahwa engkau berada, pastikan engkau meyadari bahwa engkua diciptakan oleh Dia dan untuk Dia

FAITH, FIGHT, and FOCUS is our tribute (penghormatan) bagi generasi sebelumnya sehingga kita bisa ada dan untuk menjadi a living sample untuk generasi yang akan datang, sehingga generasi berikut melihat dan menyembah Tuhan yang sama.

Last but not least: every generation should worship the same God we worship today. So guys, we need to have FAITH, we need to FIGHT, and we need to FOCUS.

Cheers,

Dare to Ask, Dare to Believe, Dare to Wait

Helo again beautiful people, It still FRESH in my mind and my heart about someone who prophecy over my life, our life actually (me and my husband) and it took me by surprise that when I read those prophecy again, my heart is JUMPING again and again.Heart beating fast *you know what I mean* and tears begin to flow *ah, tears again* how much I love my God passionately that I do passionately TRUST Him and always wanted to be this way and even more. So check out this prophecy from one of the crazy creative encouraging and changing this world, Ps Chuck Balsamo

(see the complete blog at www.chuckbalsamo.com/esslythe-from-indonesia-writes and DO SEE READ THE WHOLE BLOG, its amazing )
…thank you Esslythe! May God bless you and Brian as he already has… and EVEN SO MUCH MORE in the future for the way you stood with your pastor when it seemed like the whole world was sending him to hell. Every time I read one of your comments, my life is ENHANCED! God’s hand is ALL OVER your life… He is blessing you with the FAVOR of QUEEN ESTHER!
Throughout your entire life Esslythe, you are going to ASK YOUR KING FOR GIGANTIC FAVORS… and YOUR KING will grant you SPECIAL FAVOR over and over again! You will be known as the woman who DARED TO ASK and DARED TO BELIEVE… in a God without limits-in a God who can do ANYTHING! And God will be glorified in your life as the God who FAVORS his humble servant! This is a prophecy Esslythe… and may it happen, just as it is written this day!

I don’t even dare to translate it into Indonesian, because im afraid im going to loose the real deep meaning. There are some of the prophecy that I want to share with you guys who amazingly authentic crazy creative and love by God”

DARE TO ASK.

Mat 7:7 "Mintalah, maka akan diberikan kepadamu; carilah, maka kamu akan mendapat; ketoklah, maka pintu akan dibukakan bagimu.
Mat 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Have you ever felt that you were like ASKING too much, FINDING too much, and KNOCKING way too hard. If you nod your head or just “ehmm.. well..” it means that you’re not knowing enough about your position in Christ. A children will never bored to ASK, they DARE to ASK, its like its never enough for them. I have a son “a super smart cute baby boy that ever born on earth” (he basically need Jesus at this stage, im not kidding man “lol”) and he always DARE TO ASK EVERYTHING to me , to us. I said “everything”. When he was FINDING his missing pingpong ball, he would search all over the house, crawling up and down, stacking up and down our bed just to reach the “un-important pingpong ball”, and when he knocked our room door means he wants to come in, he definitely KNOCKED with all his heart, mind, soul, and strength, and also TEARS until we open the door for him to come in. Hey there, you are His children, don’t stop ASKING, FINDING, and KNOCKING. Even more, DARE TO ASK …

DARE TO BELIEVE.

Rom 10:11 Karena Kitab Suci berkata: "Barangsiapa yang percaya kepada Dia, tidak akan dipermalukan."
Rom 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

I guess the “ASKING” stage was quite easy, everybody can ASK a thing (even if you’re not in the stage of knowing your position as His children). But its actually the state where God puts us on the TEST. How to test our FAITH? Through the opposite things. Yes, you might be in a state of believing God, but are you DARE TO BELIEVE GOD? Because the word “DARE” is like CHALLENGING your circumstances, and its even challenges you to have FAITH. Because many times in my life, my faith doesn’t change my circumstances. Oh yeah, But my faith CHANGE me, it CHANGES ME by giving me the TENACITY to HANG IN THERE, FIGHT BACK, STEP FORWARD, or maybe just “SIT STILL and TRUST MY PILOT (Jesus)”. You need to believe, you need to STRECTH your faith, because “WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH on HIM, SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED” This is my heart; That I don’t want all of you to be ashamed of anything in life. Its my desire, to see you to reach YOUR BEST LIFE with Jesus. And I bet you wont be ashamed when YOU DARE TO BELIEVE

Next one, im gonna add some of the revelation which definitely will tremendously strength you as well as strengthen me.

DARE TO WAIT

Isa 40:31 tetapi orang-orang yang menanti-nantikan TUHAN mendapat kekuatan baru: mereka seumpama rajawali yang naik terbang dengan kekuatan sayapnya; mereka berlari dan tidak menjadi lesu, mereka berjalan dan tidak menjadi lelah.
Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Yes we have ASKED, and yes we BELIEVE Him .. but the next question is: UNTIL WHEN? Will you stay believe Him when your circumstances is the opposite of your dreams and His promises? Because He will answer your prayer (ask), and He will promise that you will not be ashamed (believe); He’s the one who RULES the TIME, and He knows the RIGHT TIME when to gives us what we asked for, what we believed in. That’s why the state of you being DARE TO WAIT is a very important state. Don’t just ASK, Don’t just BELIEVE, but ACTIVELY WAIT on HIM, on His promises. Dare to WAIT.

You must be AGREE with me that “waiting” is the most boring moment for us, we don’t like to wait too long. But see what the BIBLE SAID. People who WAIT UPON THE LORD, shall renew THEIR STRENGTH. More over, YOU WILL RUN, and NOT BE WEARY, YOU SHALL WALK, and NOT FAINT.

How many of you right now in the stage of RUNNING but WEARY “Tired, Burn out, almost give up”. How many of you right now in the stage of WALKING but FAINT “not focus, ready to give up, loosing the joy, and not excited about life” You may live, but you don’t have that “LIFE”. You’re weak, boring, flat, and days are just NOT FINE. I believe its time for you to DARE TO WAIT upon the LORD. Its time for you to renew your strength, by first knowing YOUR GOD is a LIVING GOD and then you’ll be ready to start from the beginning: TO ASK and TO BELIEVE again. Don’t be too hard on you, and GOD DOES NOT GIVE UP on you YET. NOT YET and NEVER. There are still LOTS OF THING to be achieve in your life, and there are still LOTS OF TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN to be reached. And so I say from my heart: DARE TO WAIT

Galatian 6:9 tells us a GREAT things, this is my interpretation; YOU CANNOT BE WEAK, or you’ll not gonna get what you really want, you’ll not gonna get what you have sow… DON’T BE WEAK, Keep doing what you need to do, and you’ll get the result, you’ll get the answer, you’ll get there “IF YOU’RE NOT WEAK” It’s a great things rite? HOW TO BE NOT WEAK?

DARE TO WAIT upon the LORD.

Wow, what quite a LONG NOTES. I hope you'll make it reading this and feels my heart. And if you have time, do let me know "at what stage are you now in life? in the stage of ASK, or BELIEVE, or WAIT, or none of them?" and see what God wants to tell you through this notes.
Cheers everyone ... BE HAPPY!
