This has been yet another amazing Sunday where God has touched my heart once again. I have to confess that while I've been studying and taking unusually long breaks, I've been having fears in my heart and negative thoughts at the back of my head.

Spent my entire Saturday at Wenny's place discussing ab311 with her group mates. It was an intense time of discussing and consolidating our thoughts. We took a total fo 13 hours (I left her place at 1am) to go through the entire case. But it was all worth while. Thank You Lord for giving me this group of people from which I can learn and gain knowledge from. :)

As days hours and minutes pass, I kept worrying more about my exams. I was unable to let it go and focus on doing my best. During worship, I kept crying out to God for faith and to be released from my fears. I felt so weak physically, emotionally, mentally. I needed to be refreshed.

And then in His faithfulness, God spoke.

Matt 6:25-34 "25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Tears just kept rolling down my cheeks as Pastor Eugene read that passage. The Lord assured me through visions, telling me that everything is in His hands, even my exam papers. I felt as if all my fears have been washed away.

Heb 11:1 "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

As Pastor Khong preached today, faith is:
1. moving in His power..
2. living in His presence.. and
3. pressing on until the end..

Eph 6:16 "In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one."

So Lord, thank You for refreshing me and placing a new faith to believe that my future is secure in Your hands. I will take up the shield of faith daily, using it to extinguish all the flaming arrows of lies and deceptions of the evil one. In Jesus' name, I declare Your victory over my life. Amen..

With You, nothing is impossible for me.

+ AMEN
