Right now I'm feeling alone. How bout you? I don't exactly know who I am asking. I have a feeling no one actually reads my blog. Must be because most people don't like what I write here.
All I know is that one friend of mine does. :) He inspires me with his blog too. :D
Well, I suppose I'm feeling alone and lonely because I am home alone.
I thought that the freedom would be nice, and all that.
But I'm actually so bored, that I have ran out of chores that I can complete to make me feel useful.
And I never actually realized the importance of a family in growing up. Till now.
It's your family that talks to you everyday. Small talk, lectures whatever you call it.
It's this that keeps your day in some way, entertained. Right now I'm missing everything I usually do.
Dinner isn't something I look forward to anymore. My cooking isn't that awesome.
Watching TV isn't fun without family.
Playing the PS or using the com isn't fun when there's no brothers to bug you about it.
Reading a book when you're alone at home makes you feel like there's something wrong and missing.
I don't know what I can do, seriously.
I know I'm not truly alone, for I know God is with me.
I do pray,sing out a few songs and all.
But there is always that longing for man to have company of another. That was why when God man, he made woman as well. (I am NOT hinting anything)
So in this sense God did not want man to be lonely.
I just wish someone could be with me now.
Anyone.

Keropok.
Its about time we reviewed what we have done in our life, wouldn't you say? I think so. I mean, we SHOULD look at our lives like in a mirror every now and then. Not too often too. But I think 16 years is OK right?
So here goes. Hope you guys pick it up, post it in your own way and all in your blogs. It's cool to see the many ways you have changed throughout your life. Its nice to let people know too. :) They appreciate you more. (Of course I'm just persuading you guys to do the same..)
Well I'll begin at when I was just...4.
That's as about as far back I can go. :p
I remembered I was kinda a nerdy looking nut back then. Imagine me now, smaller, with a bigger grin than Garfield and with mushroom hair, like a bowl.
Back then I don't think I cared much about anything. Well, nothing other than Power Rangers and Ultraman. (These days the Ben 10 and all are crap, PR is the original "blockbuster")
Life was so easy. Too easy at times. I don't think I cared much for friendships, duh.
I was only 4.
When I turned lets say..6.
I was in Tadika Ladybird. *draws a ladybird
That's when the devil first caught me. :p Alright! "Confession Time"
HAHA.
In tadika, it was the first time I....
I.......
I had a liking for someone. Not a guy. ==
But yeah. So I was distracted, from my "studies".
I don't think it lasted. :p It was one of em' phases.
Then primary school came.
Ah, subjects were easy like pineapple pie then. 100 for maths? No prob! 90++ for everything else? I wouldn't bet I can't get it.
Life was still complicated then. Cause we all small kids had so many games that filled our day. Friendships were still a blabla then. Who cares, I mean? All you need to make a friend is to smile and tada.
Up to standard 4, which was when I was 10, we played the usual, Shaker pencils, that paper car thingy.. I feel kinda childish now. I....
Never mind, put that behind. We ALL did that, or something close to that.
When age reached 12, standard 6..
You suppose I would study for UPSR?
I didn't. Was busy chasing cars. :p
I got 5A's anyway.
I matured late. In secondary school, in form 1 and 2, I was still one of em' people chasing each other, having such a small circle of friends. Weren't we all like that? I mean the small circle of friends part. I never imagined I would be what I would be now. :)
Joined the choir, and then my circle of friends started to increase in size. Friendly people really did go to choir then. :b
I'm not so sure what goes on in choir now, xD sorry.
Well then things moved on pretty quick. Friendships became my priority number one and I think that's when slowly and quietly my life crumbled and became something worse than what we call faeces, in vulgar terms. :b
Friendships proved too much to handle sometimes, wanting to please everyone, ending up not pleasing yourself. I wasn't one who cared what God wanted to say to me that time too. Big mistake.
Problem after problem started arising, and yet I chose not to falter or give way. Soon the burden of too many things undone and settled unwisely broke my barrier. I gave way.
For a moment my life was in ruins. Shackled up and in pain, friends were suddenly something I couldn't look to.
Then this guy named XP(Xien Puo) came into my life.
Oh yeah this all happened when I was in form 3. Very important year, and I kinda screwed it up. :b
This XP guy, he very much reminded me of me. =b in a way.
Maybe not me in the sense of the useless dump I was, but the me I wanted me to be. The me that someday I want to be and achieve.
XP gave me hope. Not hope that he can give, but he brought me to CF and their activities, their daily stuff and all. Tzi Ying pulled me to prayer meet too. :)
It was then I realised that you know, maybe this life of mine was a dump from the start, because I never put God first in my life. Thinking about it, I don't think I had place for God in my life then.
Things started to turn round. Friendships didnt rekindle, not much, but new ones arised. :)
A few turns here and there, and I am here as who I am today. I shall say, XP.. I think I MAY be able to achieve that huh? I'll be the dream guy I wanted to be. Hoho. xD
How bout you guys? What did you go through and what did you do, to become who you are today?
My best friend, Sher Nong once told me this.
When we were in Kindergarten we talked to the person next to us.
In Primary we talked to the whole class.
In Secondary we talk to practically the whole school.
One day Marcus, we're going to talk to the world.
I'd like that to happen. Really. Do you?
So here goes. Hope you guys pick it up, post it in your own way and all in your blogs. It's cool to see the many ways you have changed throughout your life. Its nice to let people know too. :) They appreciate you more. (Of course I'm just persuading you guys to do the same..)

Locked.
Are there times you feel locked up?
When you feel that freedom and liberty and all the fun and joy that comes with it isn't within grasp and reach?
When hope seems like just a fantasy that you don't wanna waste your time thinking about on it anymore?
When no one listens to you.
When people lie to you.
When people stare, people laugh, people have total disregard towards you?
You SHOULD have those times. For those that never had that, you're weird. :b
Its actually a normal thing in life. Something that if lacking, would somehow make life crumble.
But the thing is, God never said we should be locked up to ourselves, that we be alone and have no one as company. In fact, God never said we should be powerless or in lack of dignity to ourselves. I am not talking about making yourself great, NO.
That will come up soon, in the next post. But right now I just want you guys out there to know, whether you're a Christian or not, believe me or not, like me or not, that God has given us power.
The power to do what? To read minds? To levitate mass? To shoot lasers out of our eyes?
Not exactly. But he has given us power, a.k.a authority over things of the earth.
To be more precise, over EVERYTHING on earth. God never hesitated to give us everything he had made. He had not held back anything from us, cause he loves us. God loves us, each and every one of us. Its just the matter of fact whether we love him back.
So, back to what God has given to us. It says in the Bible, that God has given man, (which includes women as well) authority to rule over all the earth and all the fish in its seas, the birds in its skies and every living thing that crawls on the face of the earth.
The real, exact verse?Here it is.
Genesis 1:28
28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
Okay, but here's the best part, that I want to share with you guys that already knew this verse.
I recently read it again and again, cause something told me that there is something special about this verse. The Holy Spirit's guidance you could say.
And this is what I had found.
The link between verse 27 and 28 had a certain meaning..

27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
Right here you can see that, in verse 27 God has created us,man in his own likeness, his image.Here we know that he loves us so much he makes us like him, and in other words, he loves us as much as himself. That's alot. But hey that's not what I want to emphasise on now.
Can you see that RIGHT AFTER he created man, he blessed us and gave us the power and authority to rule over all the earth and every living creature etc?
He didn't give us a task, he didn't ask for anything first. But he GAVE to us.
I don't know how hard this can hit you.
I only know it hit me hard. Think about it. There's so much to your life than you know. God has plans for you. Plans you can't fully imagine yet.
You just need to call out to God, and grasp what he has for you. That's all.
Thank you for reading, till next time...
God bless ye merry gentlemen(and ladies),
Marcus.

Flinch.
I do not want to be one to talk much.
Nor the person to brag or say I have done that, or NOT done that.
But I will be the person to tell you guys that there is more to life, more to God's promises than you know.
This is the story of mine, its real and true, every single bit of it. I won't hold back on the harsh words, cause it was thrown at me. And you shall know how hard it is to fight back against sin and temptation, evil thoughts at times of trial and affliction.
It was the exam week, still is,but it was the day where we had Chemistry. Paper 3 if I am not mistaken. There had been some tips, tiny leaks, reportedly, so I heard.
Once again, it was a leak I didn't bother knowing about. What's exams for if you knew what's coming out?
So once again, I just studied as I had studied. Worked as I had worked.
Taking a glance at the people at the back of the class, I HAD to notice something. A group crowding around something.
Being me, curious and all, I snuck up on them, checking it out.
In their grasp, their attention all paid towards it, the boys had gotten hold of the question paper.
30 minutes before the paper had started. And they were getting all the questions and answers right there and then, reffering to other books and all.
I was disgusted. I knew that people in my class cheated sometimes, but WHAT? Under my nose, and such extreme cheating? This ain't no leak,someone stole the paper!
So I gathered my guts, my balls whatever you call it and spoke up. Saying that they shouldn't do this and I would rat them on teacher if they didn't return it immediately.
Sure as enough, they made fun of me. Of course I didn't fully dare to go up and tell teacher, peer pressure was strong. Seriously guys, its tough, especially when your best friends are involved.
Looks like peer pressure isn't something we can take lightly. Not in the world today.
So I kept trying to persuade them out of it. They tried to persuade me to join them to, but I deterred not.
It was still so hard. SO SO HARD.
Then when my persuasions started to tick them off, one of them shouted.
"Eh Marcus don't be such a damn pussy. You're a pussy you know that? No balls."
Exact words.
It hurt me real bad.
REAL REAL bad.
Standing up for Jesus, for what you know is right is never easy. I had friends, Christians who I assumed was strong against temptation with me in that class. Where were they? Looking at the paper.
I was alone, quite.
Till this girl named Ma Tzi Ying showed up.
She knew what was going on. We talked, discussed what we could do.
We felt powerless.
Then I remembered.
"Pray. Pray to me, Marcus."
God actually spoke to me.
I did.
It was a silent prayer, but nonetheless.
So God gave me patience, to ignore the harsh words.
God gave me wisdom, to not start a fight.
And God gave me peace, to know that what I would do next, what I would do to show that God is in control of my life, would be much easier now that I had honored God and put him ahead, in this situation.
Right after the exam, I ranted it out.
To teacher. One teacher. Nothing happened after that but hey, I know that God is happy.
So am I.
Please, listen to me, listen to God.
He wants you to put him first. Not just first when you pray, when you go to church or CF.
But in EVERYTHING. and its hard. But he will provide strength.
Please, don't talk about this cheating issue to anyone. The teacher advised me not to let it get into the knowledge of the other teachers, but If it did, its all for the best.
The teacher just didn't want ALL of the other classes to resit cause of this few people.
But if the necessity comes, we shall tell.
We shall. :)
Jesus bless you in all you do.

Praise everytime.
Praise.
Such a simple word. A 6-letter word.
But does it ring anything in your head?
Hit a soft spot in your heart?
Maybe, maybe not.
(i suppose I should apologize beforehand that I took so long to update. Been real busy. )
Back to the praise thing.
Praise; I will define it as any act that brings some sorta glory, or fame or any good news of something/someone.
I praise my friends alot, or at least, sometimes. Simple words, put into practice.
"Hey, nice game."
"Awesome. Cool moves, Joe/Betty/whatever name you like."
Praise God alot too, in my own words, and if I can, I put my praise into my actions.
Not to say I'm perfect. No one is. But we strive to achieve it anyway. Because what is our life worth if it doesn't please God?
All I know is that God honours the man that has faith in him, but he who has faith but doesn't show it, doesn't put it into practice, God's honour for that person dissipates like the rest of that person.
Have we been praising God much lately?
Yes, no?
You might say yes, because God has blessed you tremendously the past week, or showered you with happy and memorable events.
Or you might say no, not yet, because God hasn't given in to what you want lately.
And I've got news for you, that no matter what has been happening in your life lately, you
As scary as my blog might be sometimes, the content, I urge you guys not to leave all this behind.
We all know that hey, we can't delay any more longer. We have to proclaim our faith to the whole world, and it starts today. No tomorrow, no procrastination.
Why praise God in everything? Cause everything is a gift, know it or not.
God gives us happy moments, so that we dwell in happiness with him. That we know that his promise in him is real.
But God also gives us moments of truth, darkness and sadness, despite the promises of protection.
Why?
He wants us to be "murum" every now and then. For a reason, of course.
God wants us to know that, times won't always be good and nice to us.
When we declare ourselves as Christians, we're not exactly US anymore.
*refer to identity=christ
We are different. People notice that, they really do. You just don't know it.
You live a life that pleases God, not man. (I hope)
And thus, people notice it. Why?
Cause they're not pleased. :D
Simple as that, cause you're not pleasing THEM.
See? But I'm not saying you can't help your friends or please them.
I'm merely saying, you put your priorities out front and make sure God is first.
Please him, obey his word before anything else. :) ok?
So when they notice you, they would do what humans do the best.
Not all the time, but when they can't take it anymore, they would protest against you and your actions, and persecute you.
Things won't be so smooth then.
But you still do this. You must.
"PRAISE GOD!"
Why?
1. God has given this opportunity to you to be the difference. They have noticed you. So don't retaliate to whatever they say, but presto, GO AND PRAISE GOD! They would then notice that hey, you're on the better side, the winning side. Why? Cause you have something they don't have. Salvation.
2. It's through these hard times and all that you grow. Bet you heard this more than a million times, but you are like a muscle. In a gigantic body, which is Christ. You need exercise. These times of downfall, of trials and persecution, is your exercise, your GYM. Its then you actually grow with God, and in the end you're gonna be a little like Neil Armstrong. :)
Thats all I can sum up for now. Lost my train of thought. :p
Hope you guys learnt something from here. Please leave something in my cbox. :) So I can learn something too! :D

2. It's through these hard times and all that you grow. Bet you heard this more than a million times, but you are like a muscle. In a gigantic body, which is Christ. You need exercise. These times of downfall, of trials and persecution, is your exercise, your GYM. Its then you actually grow with God, and in the end you're gonna be a little like Neil Armstrong. :)
Thats all I can sum up for now. Lost my train of thought. :p
Hope you guys learnt something from here. Please leave something in my cbox. :) So I can learn something too! :D

The leap of faith, the shout of praise.
As many of you may know, the CF Rally Committee people have had a sleepover at someone's house, to just reminisce the memories and look back at what we have done, what we have changed, and what we are today. We got together, had fun for that one night, but in the end, we learned an invaluable lesson. That God doesn't want results from what we do. He only wants our heart to be right with him.
How many of you people here reading my blog say you love God?
Amen, I know some of you do.
But out of all of you, how many can say they love God more than anything?
Ah, don't just say you do, cause you really love God.
You might have attachments to earthly things, more than you know it, and in the end, it affects your relationship with God.
Maybe its an online game.
Maybe its a song.
Maybe its just a super hot celeb.
Whatever it is, its hindering you from God. But the worst part is this.
You don't even realise it.Not till now anyway.
:)
You say you love God with all your heart. That is possible. But God doesn't just want us to "love him with all our heart"
He wants us to love him more than EVERYTHING that we know of.
Can we do that?
Yes?
Think again.
Its not as simple as what you have been doing.
Will you dare to just tell someone you're a christian when you first meet?
Will you dare to just be a difference where ever you go?
Being a Christian, we are labeled Christians. Ever thought why?
Christ-ian.
I am a CHRIST-IAN.
I have Christ in me. (refer previous post)
So what does it mean? It means you are in a relationship with God. He wants you to love him more than anything. Do you?
Would you give up ANYTHING on earth just to spend some time with him, and pray?
Not many would. I don't think I have reached that stage yet. And thus I feel that I let God down.
But neh, he isn't let down. For he knows our weaknesses. But yet, hey, that doesn't EVER give us a chance to deny him. Let your life shine to others. Show that you and God are one. That you can make a difference. :) ok?
Let me share with you what happened during the sleepover, so you get a clearer idea of what God can do for us, and what we must do to seek something from him.
Well you see, we woke up and all about 7 plus, after a night of pure fun. Pure CLEAN fun. :)
Had breakfast and all, and later in the afternoon we decided to go to summit, from Pam's place.
We decided to take a bus, so we walked to the nearest bus stop to Pam's house. We waited and waited, but no bus came. We WERE impatient, and had to go to summit quick, or we might else have walked already.
We prayed, we prayed and we prayed. Joyce even sang the song,
"my God is so big, so strong and so mighty, and there's nothing my God cannot do, for you!"
we joined her, but of course, kept our volume down at the bus stop cause we were half-ashamed cause there were other people at the bus stop.(stupid us. why are we ashamed when we have such an awesome God?)
Anyhows we waited and waited and prayed and prayed. Saying to ourselves, "one more minute" again and again.
Till we decided that "hey maybe God just wants us to walk"
and we just started walking.
Why didn't we have more faith?
Cause we were too human, too of the world, and we somehow lost our faith, in one of the smallest things.
And when we started walking, I just felt like shouting, like praising the Lord.
Not that I've never done it before, so yeah, I did!
I shouted that same song, that Joyce had sung earlier on. I tried to make sure passing cars heard it. (we were walking across a road)
"MY GOD IS SO BIG, SO STRONG AND SO MIGHTY AND THERE'S NOTHING OU..."

Samuel cuts in*
"Hey isn't that a bus coming now?
and I stopped. A bus finally approached the other side of the road we were crossing.
Smiles came upon our faces. God had heard us all along.
He just wanted to see whether we had the faith in him, and whether we were afraid to show it.
What use is a light, when it is hidden?
Show yourself, praise the lord. Make a difference. Don't hide yourself anymore when you can do something about it.
All because God has planned something more important for you.
And just a tip from me,
life without God in it, it just is boring. I mean, a life without God will be absolutely dull. Seriously.
We were meant to live for so much more
have we lost ourselves...
-Meant to Live by Switchfoot
have we lost ourselves...
-Meant to Live by Switchfoot
Let's find ourselves again, shall we?

Identity=Christ
What is identity?
Dictionary.com defines it as the condition of being oneself or itself, and not another.
But that isn't how I look at it. Identity is the knowing of being someone. Not just another someone. Another person on the face of the earth. I bet a few of us ponder upon our existence on the face of this earth. It's kinda normal? When you don't know what God has in store for you.
Now lets talk about what you think your identity is.
Am I just Marcus Pee?
Are you just________(Fill in the blank)
It all depends on how you look at it. Do you consider yourself someone worthy of being known on the face of the earth? I mean, if I look at myself, a Marcus Pee, I wouldn't dare think I'll make a difference on the face of the earth. What could I do? Among the other 11 plus billion people here on earth?
The fact is we can do nothing. Nothing at all. Not just me. You too. We all are powerless if we rely on ourselves. On our identity. Cause its so selfless. If we lived a life to serve God, however, that's a different story. :/
So, you may say, "Why live a live for another when I can live a life for myself?"
I'm not literally asking you to live the life of your neighbour or someone like that.
Rather, I'm talking about living a life, with a purpose.
And the purpose is not living a life that pleases just you OR the people around you.
It's the life that pleases God.
The life you're living now, it's never meant to last forever.
Its merely preparing you for the life you're going to live after death. Confusing? Maybe so. Sorry. :p
Well, to put it more simply, we aren't going to live forever. This life we're living on earth? It's just to prepare us for everything we have later AFTER death.
This life is like a test. An exam.
If we do what everyone around us does, it doesn't make us stand out, make a difference.
So we failed our "test"
We were meant to live a life that is a blessing to others. So we can make a difference in people's lives. It's a path we were supposed to take the moment we accepted God in our life. If we had, you see. But hey, If you haven't, there's no reason not to.
God loves us. He's always at the door at our hearts. If only we would open it to him, he would come in and make our lives a blessing.
He would be living in our hearts.
And God said that whoever believes in him and takes up the cross with him,
he shall not be healed, or changed partially.
But he shall be made anew, in the image of him, cleansed of sin.
So we are made anew, with no sins as burdens on our backs.
God paid the price for our sins. It's just whether we want to accept the fact the paid it for us. :)
And we are made ANEW, remember that. So you are not just ______(Fill in the blank) anymore.
You're made in his image. Clean and pure, with your sins cleansed of the slates.
And your name written in the book of life, and so, your place in heaven assured.
You are no longer _____.
I am no longer Marcus Pee.
But I am Christ, who lives in Marcus.
Cause it is Christ who lives in me.
And with God with and in me, I know that nothing is impossible.
If only I believe. Believe in what?
Jesus my saviour. And not Just I believe in him, but I put all my faith in him.
I know that never would he fail me.
I hope you know that too. :)
I end it here. I'm blogging in school by the way! There's nothing impossible with God. :D Told ya.
God works in miraculous ways. If only you all knew.

Thank God
Right now, with this post, I want to thank God for what he's recently blessed me with.
If you have heard, here's the story anyway then.
If not, well here you go. :)
Just about last month or so, my EST teacher passed a splendid project for us to do. Not very splendid, really, but it seemed very interesting. We as just normal, studious kids(quite) had to make a 50 second movie clip. Cool.
About?
Conserving Energy. That's where I started to worry and pray. Thank God I prayed. Really.
And teacher rambled on to the point that this is actually a competition online and blabla, but we had very, VERY little confidence in ourselves. THAT, was kinda good. Hehe.
So, me ryan xiyuin tracey shernong teamed up to produce what was supposed to be the best-coolest-funniest-with-a-message video.
Turned out..bad. We all had no experience whatever in making videos whatsoever.
To cut things short, we won.
Not 1st not 2nd not.....
we got 6th.
Not much to be very happy about, but this is why I'm posting it here. It all came with a lesson to me.
A big big lesson I did not expect. At all. :)
So here it is. Just wanna share with you guys. Is it okay?
Wait, you guys don't have a choice. Just read on, will you? It's never a bad choice to learn and get to know something new. :)
First up.
I didn't expect anything from this video competition. Why?
Maybe the fact that me and my team were a bunch of people just wanting to have fun, no experience we had. Also, maybe the fact that the competition deadline was just three days after she told us about it. Plus, the fact that it was a national thing. Seluruh Malaysia you know.
We couldn't handle it.
But the thing is..*lesson kicks in here*
When we can't handle things on our own...
God can. Lets hear an amen. :D
So, when all odds were against us, God was right at our side, pushing us through, making sure we went all the way.
Wait!
Testimony time. Relating to the video.
Deadline was on the day we recorded the scenes itself. And there was much editing and all to be done.
So I had to do it. Cause they didn't really want to and weren't interested in it. I was. :)
So the deadline was 12 o clock before they stopped accepting entries.
And I had so many problems and glitches with my video. I only started uploading it to them at 11.50.
And it finished right at 11.59. 1 minute more and they wouldn't accept it. That I gotta thank the Lord for, cause..If it didn't upload in time, I wouldn't have got.....Just wait till the next part.
And so after the video we heard nothing, letting the video go to oblivion, thinking we failed, like we had expected.
But the one thing we didn't see coming was that God was with us, he saw our troubles and all we had in mind. It was like a surprise he had planned for us, this little gift for us.
And one day I got a call, and an email. Regarding the video. And I'm getting tired now so I'll get to the end, the important part. I won 6th place in the competition. Not a biggie, you could say.
But to the Lord's eyes, its just his will being done.
And I know he has lots more surprises for me from where it has been coming from. :D
So my question for you today is...
Who do you put your faith in? Your every daily tasks and duties. Do you do it having faith in yourself?
A miserable you?
Or do you put your faith in God, the one who makes things possible. That event, this one that just happened, reminded me that for everything I do, I should stop relying on myself, on my faith towards my own abilities. On my own strength.
Because, why do that when you can actually draw strength from the God who provides? The one that is always there for you?
He never leaves you you know. Its usually us who walks away from him. He walks with us anyway, knocking on our door daily. Every second. Ever knocking. Always wanting to be with us, a part of us.
Some of us will say, we have opened the door and let him in.
Correct, you are. But did you know that keeping the door open all your life is neccesarry?
We can't open the door to Jesus, our God and let him be part of our life only when we feel like it.
But, my other question to you is, do you keep it open for him to be a part of us, and our faith in him all the time?
Or are there times where you rely on yourself, not needing God or anyone, using your own abilities and trust in yourself and yourself only.
Cause its those times that you actually shut the door on Jesus.
And he goes knocking on your door again.
So please. Stop dissapointing not just yourself.
By doing things by your own ability, your own strength, we as humans will fail.
In success, you may have accomplished something great. But at the end of the road it will all crumble and fall to dust at your toes. Man was never made perfect, to succeed.
But if we rely on the strength we rely on God.
Build on his foundation. Bury ourselves in his truth and mercy...
We then have the right material, the right path and foundation to real success.
God is great, for those who don't know.
Here ends my 2nd post. God bless and he loves you.
So do I. And so I end this with a prayer.
Lord with this post I have made,
bless those who read it.
Make them know, realise that you are the one that helps us through.
For you did not promise days without rain.
You did not promise pain without laughter.
But you did promise shelter from the rain.
Comfort for the pain, and joy for the sorrow.
let us not rely on ourselves no more,
but on you, the God we love.
in your mighty and loving name we pray,
Amen.
If you have heard, here's the story anyway then.
If not, well here you go. :)

Zero-One.
Back to the first post of the blog. I've decided, (with the advice and concern of an awesome friend) to renew my blog with it's content and everything.
I mean, to make a difference is to be the difference?
And looking at myself lately, I've not been much different. It's time for a change.
Some things have changed. ;)
From this point onwards, this blog shall be totally dedicated to just spread the word of god.
I'm not very good at it through blogs but I'll just do my best. Please, do guide me when I need it. :)
I just want to start this blog over again by saying something. Something really important. A verse I have learnt from a guy I respect so much, I just gotta share it with you.
Look up Revelations 12:11.
If you haven't got the time, here it is. I've got it memorized. :D
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, by the power of their testimony, and because they did not love their life so much; as to shrink from death. Rev 12:11
So. How would you look at it?
I would tell you how it's meant to be sent across.
The "him" in this verse is the devil. Satan. The cause of sin and everything BAD.
The "they" were the people fighting the dragon in the whole chapter. Dragon of course, Satan.
So, how did the people overcome the dragon in their lives? There were three things that were the cause of death for the dragon.
Which means, we have three things, or weapons you can call it, that helps us push and kill the dragon in our lives.
First up, which was stated first. By the blood of the Lamb. Familiar?
It was God's sacrifice, he giving his life for us that cleansed us from sins, that took us away from the evil grasps of the devil.
His blood is the ultimate weapon against the devil. That's why it's the first listed. But there's a short limitation. We can't totally rely on God to keep taking our sins away and let him do all the work. Yes he will forgive, but is it worth living a life like that?
Secondly, (this is the most important part, it all comes down to this.) is that they overcame him by the word of their testimony. Which is, yes those testimonies you give out, praise God and all.
Little do we all realize that God has empowered testimonies with great strength against out enemy.
Our simple, "thank god that my sister didn't throw my old papers away" can mean alot.
It has strength through the lord.
You won't realize it, but it is true. It truly proves that God has power and control over all things, even the smallest things. Shows that even when the devil tries to make a mess outta our lives, God CAN intervene when we ask him to and make a difference. He helped us through it all and that's what a real friend, a real God is about.
It symbolises, it shows that our God is good, and puts devil to shame.
Lastly, our weapon we can use against the devil is to not cling on to our lives. To not love it so much that we cling on to death instead of our faith to God. I know we all love God. We all do.
The question is, how much? I personally haven't got this one perfected out yet too..
I doubt many of us has. I long for the faith in God, that everlasting faith that he will pull me through things even when things and all odds are against us.
Times where normal people will say, "Die la." and mean it, while when people that has total faith in God can say, "God will make a way. I just don't know it yet, but I know I'm safe in his arms"
That. Is our third strongest weapon we have against the devil.
True, these things in our life are the things we have to work on. Daily, with small progress. But isn't that what out life is about?
We make progress, little by little, to become more like God and less like the world.
We live to make a difference. I don't know about you, but I do.
*I base my life on this saying. - Our lives should BE the testimony upon others, that others may
see that our God is a living God and has control over everything.
Hope these words ispire more in you than it does for me. :)
God bless.

Secondly, (this is the most important part, it all comes down to this.) is that they overcame him by the word of their testimony. Which is, yes those testimonies you give out, praise God and all.
Little do we all realize that God has empowered testimonies with great strength against out enemy.
Our simple, "thank god that my sister didn't throw my old papers away" can mean alot.
It has strength through the lord.
You won't realize it, but it is true. It truly proves that God has power and control over all things, even the smallest things. Shows that even when the devil tries to make a mess outta our lives, God CAN intervene when we ask him to and make a difference. He helped us through it all and that's what a real friend, a real God is about.
It symbolises, it shows that our God is good, and puts devil to shame.
Lastly, our weapon we can use against the devil is to not cling on to our lives. To not love it so much that we cling on to death instead of our faith to God. I know we all love God. We all do.
The question is, how much? I personally haven't got this one perfected out yet too..
I doubt many of us has. I long for the faith in God, that everlasting faith that he will pull me through things even when things and all odds are against us.
Times where normal people will say, "Die la." and mean it, while when people that has total faith in God can say, "God will make a way. I just don't know it yet, but I know I'm safe in his arms"
That. Is our third strongest weapon we have against the devil.
True, these things in our life are the things we have to work on. Daily, with small progress. But isn't that what out life is about?
We make progress, little by little, to become more like God and less like the world.
We live to make a difference. I don't know about you, but I do.
*I base my life on this saying. - Our lives should BE the testimony upon others, that others may
see that our God is a living God and has control over everything.
Hope these words ispire more in you than it does for me. :)
God bless.
