Light of the Lord

So I'm having quiet time now, modeled a little after our Cell sessions, so yeah righ tnow i'm in the phase of Praise & Worship.

Yeah you guys may find it weird why i'm blogging(something so modern-ugly & plebeian) while i'm in my 'Quiet time', well i dunno just as i was so engrossed in P&W, i was so filled with joy and power at the Lord's presence in me, so strongly that i just wanted to share the moment with my beloved cell.

Right now the Hillsong-King of Majesty is powering up my P&W, courtesy of Ah Boon & i thank God for Hillsong! I'm just moving along with the Spirit so strong wihthin me as i enter into worship and prepare myself for the Lord, and only for the Lord. Indeed He is worth of praise, only He is worthy of praise.

Attached is a picture taken from where i'm sitting and typing off, it's probably my default position cos this is where i will do most of my work, reading, facing the window.

This window was especiallly significant this morning. My roomate has like an opposite bodyclock from mine so he like sleeps off the great American morning and early afternoon. Being nice and accomodating i leave the room in dark till he wakes, but yet the power and the light of the Lord is so strong it conquers all darkness. Hopefully you can see from the photo how the strong light of the Lord is still shining in & pervading the darkness.

Only the Light of the Lord allows us to perceive what is darkness. Only the grace and sacrifice of the Cross allows us to perceive our dark and sinful nature. I'm just so empowered and encouraged that the Lord of the light trimphs all darkness, shining into my room despite all my human attempts to keep the room dark.

I was just moving & waving along to the Spirit, reaching out to the Light and giving praise to it, feeling connected, and i guessed if my room-mate awoke and saw me doing that he will think i'm mad. ANd yes indeed I amm mad for Christ! Hallelujah!

On this Sabbath morning (US time) i just want to share how this simple experience is applicable in our lives. No matter how sinful we are, no matter how much we try to hide from or suppress our sinful natures, only the mighty Light of the Lord shall justify us.

Sometimes we are ashamed, guilty or in denial of the Lord, however this loving God is always chasing after us like a relentless suitor, never giving up despite our rejection of His glory, His Kingdom, His Law. Indeed by this comfortable knowledge I am ever-ready to stop, turn back, repent & belive in the Good News.

And by His grace i am forgiven, I am shameless and blameless, for all was taken up in the Cross and all have died with Him on it, and all have risen as He conquered death. Amen.

Our Lord is a Lord of Life, not of Death. A Lord of Life who had conquered Death. The World is at your feet O Lord. Praise God Hallelujah!
