God i pray this will be the year of the FRUIT of the SPIRIT and not about Rabbits or horoscopes. I pray we and people will be focussed on things of the spirit as in spiritual things and not only wealth and horoscopes, numerology, occultic practices. We renounce and nullify break the works of horoscopes, astrology, occult, fortune telling, curses, fears, numerology, spiritists, palmistry, false religion and beliefs, rituals, and witchcraft this year for everyone reading this.
We break and nullify generational curses, curses, strongholds, spiritual bondages, oppression, anger, sins or bad things said by others to us in the past present and future and claim upon every blessing and good thing God has in store for those who love Him and believe in Christ's death n resurrection.
please Lord, cleanse our sins too, forgive our sins as we sincerely forgive those who have said or done things against us, consciously or unconsciously. We forgive them just as you sacrificially gave Jesus and forgave us. We pray and seek your purposes and blessings for us this year and beyond.
I pray for a heightened awareness of God-things of everyone and not only good things in the world. I pray more and more will awaken in their spirit man to hear from You and to be curious to find out the one true God and to know you through dreams, visions, people, literature, media of Your truths and of Your presence.
In Jesus's most precious name, Amen

symptoms of pride
I read somewhere pride is not just showing off what we have. it rears its ugly head in other forms:
fearing failure too much.
comparing ourselves with others too much.
Are these fears from people around us, or ourselves, or some other external voice or God?
What is the root reason why we fear so much?
What is the fine line between "healthy pressure" from people around and the real, frustrating, fear that numbs and confuses us about the direction we have planned for ourselves and what God has shown/spoken to you personally?
Is it a need or a want to follow what our peers are doing and saying?
It it is not a need, why is it a must or a want then?

spiritual
What to say when i've got nothing to write about...
Sometimes, people we meet often or our family becomes our own life journals or blogs. They are there to listen to our every sigh, joy, complain, go through life with us. The question is this then, do we take them as a wall or er, punching bag...haha. I don't mean literally but a lot of times we tend to treasure people we see less, more. We are more polite to strangers, for example.
If you don't see your blog under "blogs i follow" its a logical reason - you have not updated your blog the past one whole year. and being on my reading list and links i happened to notice it, so it would save me a lot of time to just zoom in on blogs that are still active and not dormant or extinct...heh.
This week my cell was discussing the book of ezekiel. we were amazed he was even asked to do such weird and strange things, like lie on his left side for 390 days representing the 390 years Israel rebelled against God. Like for instance, seriously, how does he even go to the toilet? So the challenge was this: Would we do what God would ask us to do, even if it were something totally out of character?

dispensing somewhat useful or useless advice
Look world...here comes kim's writings again.
Ok....i really believe in the words Seize the Day cos really everything from the start does happen for a reason and God is sovereign. God could have said "Ok Adam and Eve you have sinned, so let's restart making earth again!" But he didn't. He let things carry on as they were. So He is still sovereign and in control....
totally moved by this great movie i just watched but only liked the last one third of it which was the love between the couple. the guy totally loved the girl and was sacrificial. the girl also loved the guy but didn't verbalise it directly. she was afraid of troubling him for the rest of his life because she had parkinson's disease. but he told her this "I don't care. Even if it means I have to carry you around..." They were in tears by then....oh man. Ok of course the movie could have abided by God's rules right from the start. I think if it were a lot cleaner the first 2 thirds, it could have probably won an Academy award. But well in the end things took a turn and changed into love. real sacrificial love.

issues, circumstances, problems.....
Sigh. What would life be, without problems?
The strange thing is that with every problem or issue comes a golden chance, a chance to set things right, a chance to prove God's might in you.
A gal pal once said in her email to a group, "Embrace the process of whatever goal you aim at."
Destination is important but equally important is the best friend called process. So instead of screaming running sighing crying or asking for help all the time, i will embrace the process of facing life. Some singer also mentioned that without the bad things of life, you wont enjoy the good. Without bitter and sour, u don't know what sweet means. Without winter, there cant be spring. For me is without pain there cant be appreciation of no-pain.

contact lenses
A Totally spent day.
This new year,
I'm seeking to know fully and understand your divine plan for me as to where exactly you want me to go and what u want me to do. I pray for open and closed doors FROM You.
I rejoice over movies done by christian producers who have likeminded brothers and sisters in Christ pray over them so there are breakthroughs in the spiritual realm.
I am happy to meet marketplace christians who do a great job, or enjoy their jobs thoroughly and are actively finding ways to share their faith in little ways. heh.
I Seek to grow in perseverance and adaptability and apply proverbs or psalms to my life not read but apply and act on it.I hope to enjoy in reading and applying the Ryrie Bible given to me.

New is not present and not old.
i love words - playing with them, arranging them, different arrangements can bring out different tones and meanings...and attitudes. My English teacher in college when i was 17 once mentioned that influential people of the past used emotive words that could alter people's emotions and change thinking. She gave us extracts of such speeches made in the past and told us to highlight the phrases or sentences that were not so much factual but emotive.
This is the verse for the day:
“This is what the LORD says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” - Isaiah 43:16, 18-19
