2009-dektos

Hey my fellow commando southies! Blessed Acceptable new year!! haha=D since all of us are still in the "Chinese-New-Year festive" mood, i've some stuff to share with you guys! regarding this year's theme- THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.=D bear with me for the long post, cuz it has been brewing on my heart already!=D

Have you all ever wondered what doest it mean by ACCEPTABLE ? (even though in greek, the word ACCEPTABLE denotes, the MOST BLESSED time when the salvations and FREE favours of God PROFUSELY ABOUNDS.) like one of the many curious peepos like you guys, i asked Abba what does it mean by acceptable year of the Lord? why acceptable and not anything else?

Furthermore, remember sheryl's post on the sms her aunt sent to her and also subsequent sermons,both Pastor Prince and Pastor Benjamin actually preached and prophesied more on this. so in short here's the summary of what they have prophesied on.

Pastor Prince said that year 2009 is gonna be:

1)A year FULL of God's TURNING POINTS in our lives

2) A YEAR of REST for the beloved child of God (and that's us)

Pastor Benjamin said year 2009 is gonna be:

3) a FRUITFUL and POWERFUL year

4) and a year whereby Daddy GOd is setting us up on a NEW DIRECTION- HIS WORD.

so all these word spoken through pastor's mouth sort of answered my question. But i went home asking The Lord more, like to show me in His word this all these are true. And guess what, HE DID!!! and Jesus is SO MIRACULOUSLY ACCURATE!! He used the the very passage that pastor prince preached to speak to me!! wow, and you guys take a look at how Jesus PROVE His WORD preached through the bible, it's amazing mans i tell you! hahaha=D

Isaiah 61:1-2 (this is the portion pastor preached)

1 “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me,
Because the LORD has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,
And the day of vengeance of our God;

As we all know, the day of vengeance is fulfilled when Jesus was at the cross!! and whatever comes after that can ONLY BE GOOD!! so look at the next few verses, AWESOME i tell you!=D

3 To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.”

wow, from ashes to beauty, mourning to joy, heaviness to praise! Doesn't this fulfilled what Pastor Prince said- the THIS YEAR IS A YEAR OF TURNING POINTS? =D=D=D

And remember what pastor benjamin preached at the first arrow service of the year? He preached tt we'll be like the trees of psalm 1, planted by the rivers of living waters (which is God's Word), and that our leaves will not wither and we'll MOST DEFINITELY BEAR FRUITS we wanna see in our lives? the brown portion fulfills what pastor benjamin said- that tis year, 2009, is gonna be a year Daddy is setting each of us on a NEW DIRECTION!!! a direction of HIS WORD. when Jesus aligns us according to what His word says, how many mistakes can we make? how bad can our lives get? Our lives can only be BETTER and BETTER, our paths can only shines BRIGHTER and BRIGHTER!! AMEN=D=D=D

Isaiah 61:4

4 And they shall rebuild the old ruins,
They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.

In year 2008, the year of manifested blessings, some expectations i trusted Daddy for like family salvation, handling of finances etc didn't come to pass. i was quite affected so i asked Abba to give me a SURE word this year so that my dreams wont burst like bubbles again. And you know what, THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD IS ALSO A YEAR OF RESTORATION!!

Jesus Himself promised me that He will RISE UP and build and RESTORE to me things that i've lost my hope in trusting Him for!! and truely, i've seen His hands work SO MUCH in this new year already!! (will share with u guys again!! if not this will be 3000 word essay hahahaha) so ya for those of you trusting Daddy God for some things close to your heartbut have yet to come to pass,take this Word as your own too and DON'T GIVE UP BELIEVING because OUR GOD IS ABLE!!=D=D=D

Isaiah 61:5

5 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,
And the sons of the foreigner
Shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 But you shall be named the priests of the LORD,
They shall call you the servants of our God.
You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles,
And in their glory you shall boast.

Remember start of the year pastor preached on praying in tongues to enter THIS YEAR OF REST?Here is the evidence that this year is TRUELY gonna be A YEAR OF DIVINE REST for all of us, His beloveds!!

in this verse, everything is done for us! people "feed" our flocks and p"plow"our land for harvest and "prune" our vines for us!! this means, WE REST!! our friends may study alot or do the major parts of our project, but they are actually studying and doing our projects for our benefits!! don't ask me how, but know that GOD CAN!!=D

and for army people, all of you guys may go for combat shoot and stuff, you may not fare as well as the others, but you still get to enjoy the 200 bucks reward when all your other friends do well!! we just need to REST and SPEAK ( cuz you're king priest!!)!! hahaha

even in the times it seems as though other people are winning their fights of life and it seems as though they are doing well and getting better results and stuff, remember our inheritance that is ALREADY PAID at the foot of the cross. we're not winners-in-the-making or striving-to-be-the-best. WE ARE ALREADY CHAMPIONS IN CHRIST!! and a CHAMPION's life can ONLY be GOOD and nothing else!=D

and the last part!!this is the verse for pastor benjamin's prophesy-that year 2009 is gonna be a FRUITFUL AND POWERFUL YEAR!

Isaiah 61:7

7 Instead of your shame you shall have double honor,
And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.
Therefore in their land they shall possess double;
Everlasting joy shall be theirs.

it is one thing to have a restored portion, but it is a MUCH BETTER PORTION to know that we have DOUBLE THE ORIGINAL!! isn't that the meaning of FRUITFUL and ABUNDANCE!!??( how can we lose with this kind of promises in the bible? moreover ALL the promises of God are YES and AMEN in Christ!! haha=D)

Also, the bible actually did say in nehemiah 8:10 that the JOY of the Lord is MY STRENGTH!! knowing that Daddy God delighting over us as His beloveds in Christ actually gives us the POWER to stand against the devil EVEN WHEN THINGS SEEM TO BE AGAINST US.and the POWER Abba gives us last FOREVER( because the verse says everlasting!!=D)

And the amazing thing is, Daddy only gave us the POWER to STAND, not fight, because the FIGHTING part belongs to Him!! we just need to stand firm on the word of God and speak it forth and Jesus will be The Word made manifest in our lives as our blessings!! just like how He became flesh from heaven to earth to save us!!=D

So that's about it! thanks for bearing my long post!! Just wanna end off by saying,

GOD'S WORD IS EVERYTHING.

His word is the MIRACLE you need, the breakthrough you've been waiting for. simply because

JESUS CHRIST is THE WORD BECAME FLESH. if Jesus can manifest as flesh to save us from our sins and establish us in His righteousness and His grace, he can manifest as our breakthroughs and miracles as well!! so SPEAK FORTH God's word from the bible(don't know what to speak, just read out loud whatever the bible says=D), b because whenever we speak forth The Written Word,we're speaking forth Jesus into our lives and He manifests as our blessings!! that's why Jesus is ALL we need and in Him ALL things consist and are HELD TOGETHER=D AMEN.

love you peepos loads!! you guys are the BEST bunch of friends ever!!!=D
