How to pray the Word?

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. (Matthew 24:35 NKJV)

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. (Mark 13:31 NKJV)

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. (Luke 21:33 NKJV)

Out of the 4 gospels, 3 of them stated the same verse. It must have been something so impressionable and significant that Jesus said during His ministry that it imprinted into the disciples' hearts in a deep way.

The Word of God is true. It never fails. That's why we take verses and hold it in our hearts, so that we can be reminded of His promises.

Today, let's try something different. Instead of just holding on to the word/verse, let's declare them over our lives.

I was having some problems with my daughter of 10 years old. And I was just praying to God, asking Him to come and intervene. And Holy Spirit led me to Proverbs 31, The Passion Translation. 

As I read the verses about "The Radiant Bride" in this translation, I began to see my daughter's name appear in those verses. Then I heard Holy Spirit telling me to declare those verses over my daughter. And I began to do it. 

While I spoke out those verses over her, by replacing her name and willing in my heart that that is what God says she is, I began to tear. I had an encounter with Elohim God. He began to show me His righteousness and grace over my daughter's life. I finally submit it to Him.

Today, I want to encourage all of us to take His word like precious jewels. Hold it in our hearts and declare it over our lives. We may not feel that those words even speak or describe about us. We may even feel that we missed the mark totally. But guess what! This is exactly why God gave us His word! So that we could take it, declare it and allow Holy Spirit to move in us, and eventually walking it out!

To end this sharing, I would like to share Proverbs 31, how I rephrased and included my daughter's name in it.

  • Angel Tay is a woman of strength and mighty valor! She’s full of wealth and wisdom. 
  • The price paid for her was greater than many jewels, for she is precious in our sight and in God's eyes.
  • We can entrust our hearts to her for she brings us the rich spoils of victory. 
  • All throughout her life she shall brings to us what is good and not evil. 
  • Angel searches out continually to possess that which is pure and righteous. 
  • She delights in the work of her hands. 
  • She gives out revelation-truth to feed others, through her God-given gifts and talents.
  • She is like a trading ship bringing divine supplies from the merchant. 
  • Even in the night season she arises and sets food on the table for hungry ones in her house and for others. 
  • Angel is someone who sets her heart upon a nation and takes it as her own, carrying it within her. 
  • She is hardworking and labors there to plant the living vines. 
  • She wraps herself in strength, might, and power in all her works. 
  • She tastes and experiences a better substance, and her shining light will not be extinguished, no matter how dark the night. 
  • She shall stretch out her hands to help the needy and she lays hold of the wheels of government. 
  • She shall be known by her extravagant generosity to the poor, for she always reaches out her hands to those in need. 
  • Angel is not afraid of tribulation, for she shall be covered in the dual garments of righteousness and grace. 
  • Her clothing is beautifully knit together— a purple gown of exquisite linen. She knows how to groom herself well.
  • Even her works of righteousness she does for the benefit of her enemies. 
  • Bold power and glorious majesty are wrapped around Angel as she laughs with joy over the latter days. 
  • She shall have teachings that are filled with wisdom and kindness as loving instruction pours from her lips. 
  • She watches over the ways of her household and meets every need they have. 
  • “There are many valiant and noble ones, but Angel has ascended above them all!” 
  • Charm can be misleading, and beauty is vain and so quickly fades, but Angel lives in the wonder, awe, and fear of the Lord. 
  • She will be praised throughout eternity . 
  • So we shall give her the credit that is due, for Angel has become a radiant woman, and all her loving works of righteousness deserve to be admired at the gateways of every city!
Proverbs 31:10‭-‬31 TPT

Have a blessed mid-week!

Holy Spirit the Spirit of Wisdom

Luke 12:12 TPT Simply be confident and allow the Spirit of Wisdom access to your heart, and he will reveal in that very moment what you are to say to them.” Acts 6:10 TPT But the Holy Spirit gave Stephen remarkable wisdom to answer them. His words were prompted by the Holy Spirit, and they could not refute what he said. God is such a good God who gives wonderful gifts to us! After He gave us a gift of eternal life through Jesus' death and resurrection, He gave us the gift of Holy Spirit as our Helper. This is one amazing gift after another! When we receive the Holy Spirit, we receive the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. Holy Spirit will teach us, guide and lead us into all truth. Stephen was filled with the Holy Spirit and his serving was accompany with many miracles, signs and wonders. As such it upset some men from a sect to argue with him.

Guarding Our Heart Against Offenses

Luke 17:1 NKJV Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! I love how Jesus taught us very real and practical things. But they are also hard truths that we need to know and manage them so that we can live a victorious Christian life. Here in Luke 17:1, Jesus warned us of two things. One, that offenses would definitely come. Secondly, that we should not be those who bring on the offenses. Although it is unavoidable to have offenses coming to us but we can choose not to be offended. We need to guard our heart with all due diligence and not allow the offenses to affect and hurt us. Guarding our heart is not merely ignoring the offenses, brushing them off or shutting yourself off emotionally. We guard our heart with meditating on the word of God and by being sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. We also need to enlarge our heart, show more grace and be more forgiving to people so that we will not ...

Why it is good to switch on Christian music while working?

The last few days, I've been working at a booth in the Hong Kong Jewellery Fair. While working, I left my music on via laptop, soft but can be heard.  I put it on low volume because the people in the world do not understand. But as I begin to work and listen to the music at the same time, there is a sense of peace. It is good to put on Christian music because as the singer sings, the words can remind you of God's goodness. We are spiritual beings, but in physical bodies. Therefore we are limited physically. It's difficult to be thinking about God's presence and offering prices for our products at the same time. But Music helps! As you listen to the music, you hear the singer singing the words, you become aware of the presence of God. If the song is about Jesus, you begin to sense Jesus, your brother beside you. If the song sings about Holy Spirit, you begin to feel comfort from Holy Spirit.  The fun thing is this: As you become aware of His presence, the atmosphere arou...
