Jesus has overcome

"I have told you this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.~ John 16:33, NLT"

Look back in the past few year, I've seen many trails and sorrows over myself and others. People who lost their beloved one are in deep of sorrows. The difficulty of the country issues and economic problem that causes the whole world to be concern about ceasing income. Lots of challenging take place, and we handle it well sometimes. I found this Scriptures alive in my heart when it speaks about 'peace'. Through the difficulty of situation, I really need peace to be in my heart so that I can pressing on and be normal person.

Just the last day of the year 2008 I was depressed about my family situation. One person texts me message to say happy new year, but the message encouraged me so much as it says "may peace, love and hope are in you today, tomorrow and always".. I'm totally overwhelmed with the fact that Jesus is our peace, and he asks me to take heart because he has overcome the world. If Jesus is with me, I have peace! He is in all situation, and we can rely on him and the Father. Sometimes when we are focusing on the issue, we totally forget this truth.. I have to confess that I didn't have this attitude until God uses this Scripture to teach me again.

Please take heart because Jesus has overcome the world. May we always have peace because Jesus is our peace.

Love,
Gade

Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11 ESV There are many people in different generation refer to this specific scripture as their comforts, their hopes, and encouragement for others which is not wrong of doing it so, but recently I read this passage over and over until I have the deeper understanding with its context and meditate on it, so I want to write it down to remind myself and share it with you. The verse before this scripture is "For Thus says the Lord: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will visit you, and I'll fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." - Jeremiah 29:10-11 ESV . God told Jeremiah to write a letter stating this passage in Jerusalem and send it to the survivi...

Control & Approval

During these intense 6 months of co-leading a YWAM training school, I have been learning and exploring tons of thing about who God is and about myself which I have to lay down myself in many ways. My intimate relationship with God has been developing since I took the FOCOS (Coaching Course with CMI), for I started to focus more on my quality time with God and learning to listen to him. In past 3 months, although there are so much works going on, I still learn to be still and know that God is God where I can't control any thing at all. Through this school, I wish I could be more prepared, the building would be perfect to run the school, all staffs would be ready to serve the school, and the students would learn and grow incredibly, but those are false expectations because God's plan and how he works in a whole group and individual are totally what we are experiencing now. There are tons of small thing occurs to make us discouraged, but I do learn to let thing go and depend on Go...

Sonship

Around this time last year, I was at the Father Heart 'A' school, and it was only a week to learn about God's heart as a father. I expected me to be changed and healed from all the wounded of my past, so that I don't have any trouble to love and accept others, but what I experienced there was completely contrast from my expectation. I experienced God's heart for me and learned how much he loves me. I found a huge fear in the core of me, the fear of death, and there is no one will fight to protect me because I was ruined since I was in the womb of my mom, but God revealed himself to me that he was there to protect and comfort me. I can prove that he is right because I am still alive until today. I am so afraid to be in some place that I can't help myself if there is an emergency, I am afraid to fly, I am afraid to be in the ocean and surround with water. This is what God revealed to me, and it helped me to deal with it. I need to understand who God is for me, so ...
