How to Read the Bible with Feelings------Listen to the author's heartbeat.

                                                                                       







Why did I write this book?

Finally, I have published my book, How to Read the Bible with Feelings, and I feel happy and relieved. I have no intention of writing a book since I am not the kind of person who could write something with all the details and passage after passage. However, I do enjoy writing and expressing my feelings towards certain issues. When I first started to write this book, I only wanted to share how I felt about a few selected passages of Genesis. I believe the Lord wanted me to keep on writing, and as I wrote, more inspiration popped up in my mind, and I've been flushed with feelings, meditation, insights, and reflections from heaven. Otherwise, I won't be able to finish writing this book from Genesis to Revelation. Thus, I want to give all the glory to God, and I pray that God can use this book to reach more people and bless all the readers of this book as well.

What have I learned during this process?

There are times when I just feel like giving up on writing a book that needs a lot of attention and focus. But the Lord kept on encouraging me by saying that "you can do it and you are doing fine." Thus, I finished the first manuscript of this book within 6 months. That was so amazing to me. 

By the time I had finished the first manuscript, I needed to face the editorial issue, and it took me a whole year to find two different editors to deal with it. Since everyone was busy, and I had to double check everything after the editorial work was done, it took me another few months to do it. The process was slow, and sometimes I fell into a deep sleep while checking the manuscript again and again. Since I am not a computer, I always screw up all the positions in the word file and sometimes the font as well. Then all the 123 images were supposed to be copyrighted images, but I had to delete all the images because I didn't want to deal with all the copyright issues for each image. As a consequence, I had to design all the 123 images in Powerpoint by myself again, and it wasn't that easy for me. I thank God for giving me creativity with my limited design skills to finish this task. The next step is to deal with the book cover issue again, and I thank God for once again assisting me in resolving this issue with a beautiful book cover.

Finally, uploading the file to the publishing website still needs to go through a lot of difficulties, but thank God that all these problems have been solved again. In the whole process, I have learned perseverance, patience, and focus to finish the process and accomplish what God has placed on my heart in the beginning. Above all else, I have learned that apart from God, we can do nothing. Thus, again, I want to give all the glory to God for this book.

What will this book do to you?

It will lead you to:

.  Reflect on selected passages from Genesis to Revelation with new

   insight.

.  Re-examine your relationship with God through 123 colorful images. 

.  Restore your interactive communication with God.

.  Review your life through reflective questions on God's word.

.  Refresh your vision through the personal sharing of the author.

.  Return to your feelings and allow emotions to flow out according to

   God's way.

.  Revive your passion with a fresh fire for God's kingdom.

Whenever you finish reading this book, you may get to know God and yourself in a new way. With this transformation, you will impact the world with a new anointing by the Holy Spirit. At the same time, you will be a blessing to others with this new outpouring of love from Jesus, according to God’s word.

Insights from this book

When Eve started to blame Satan for her sin, Adam did the same. He first blamed God, who made the woman, and then started to blame Eve for causing him to sin. You can immediately see the terrible result of sin and the consequence of disobedience to God’s word. Everything spiraled down very quickly.

So, we are responsible for our own choices, not the ones that gave us the freedom to choose. How often do you blame others when something bad happens? I must admit that I sometimes do it too. That is why we need God to help us see ourselves in the mirror as the people we truly are. For without God’s help, we will keep on blaming God or others around us. Never would we self-willingly view ourselves as being the problem, even though it’s the result of our own free will.

I still remember my first experience of hearing from God many years ago. It was amazing because I was completely led by the Lord to purchase a suit at a cheaper price. It was after my prayer for God’s guidance that I tried to buy a suit in one of my city districts. The Lord told me not to get off the subway by the time the train door opened. A small voice in my mind was telling me to get off in another district, but I had no prior intention of going there for my suit because that was an expensive district for shopping. Once I got off the subway train after I reached that other station, the Lord told me to go from an exit that I would not normally choose. By the time I walked out of the exit, I saw a suit store right in front of me. And woop, was it something? However, I thought this suit store would be expensive since I did not carry much money in my wallet. I was about to go to the nearby instant teller to withdraw more money for my suit. However, when I just took one step forward, the Lord told me that I did not have to grab more money since I already had enough money in my wallet. But I knew that I only had $500. Anyway, with faith, I entered the suit store in my obedience to God’s voice. When I reached the door, a dummy in a suit was on display. The advertisement hanging on the dummy stated that the suit was just under $500 today with a discount, and there were many choices of color inside the store as well. I went in with joy and checked each of the colors, and started to ask God which color I should spend my money on since they were all the same price anyway. The Lord said, "It is your own choice!" In the end, I was wholly satisfied with the purchase of my suit, and this experience taught me to listen to God on a regular basis.

Review

*****
Reviewed by Fiona M Campbell

Must read 
I felt the Holy Spirit working through this book. It would be a fabulous addition to the bookshelf of every Christian household. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed my spiritual and emotional journey with this book. It is presented in well-chosen Bible sections, with the author's explanations and thoughts. Each segment concludes with questions for the reader to ponder and suggestions for meaningful prayer. The beauty of this book was that its effect was not just through the words but also in the time spent with God as a result.

 

I appreciated the author's honesty in recalling his own faith journey. This helped build a rapport with the reader.

 

I particularly liked the author's analogy of God's plan as a picture, requiring the uniqueness of all of us to make it a masterpiece. 

 

The section regarding Angels and Demons interested me. The fact that there are 300 verses regarding the former and 80 regarding the latter was new to me. This was nicely linked to Hebrews 1:13-14. ' Angels are powerful beings created by God in order to carry out God's plans. 

 

'Satan doesn't shy away from finding his own way to destroy babies or cause premature deaths to make sure fewer people fulfil God's plan in their lives,' 

This gave me something to think about, as I always equated miscarriage/stillbirth with there being a reason- that the mother's life would be at risk from the pregnancy or the child would have a life of pain and suffering due to a disability. This book would be a great book- club read, as there were many topics I felt merited discussion- not just with God but also with fellow believers.

 

These were some of the questions posed by the author:

 

Are we ready for the return of Jesus? 

Are you an old-fashioned Christian, or are you willing to be changed by the Holy Spirit into something new?

Are you on fire for Jesus, as cold as ice, or somewhere in between?

 

I liked the thought-provoking section about Communion. So often it becomes a ritual, rather than the celebration it should be. Similarly, the idea of 'relax, wait and yield to the Holy Spirit with both hands open. Prayer/conversation with God should be a two-way process, yet many people forget to listen and receive his response.

 

I will definitely be recommending this book to members of my church and Christian friends. It is perfect for those seeking to deepen their faith and would work well as daily devotional material. This is a book which I feel will stand the test of time and have a well-earned place on the bookshelf in every Christian household.

How to experience a powerful prayer life ?

                                                         


Every Christian who wants to experience the power of prayer need to learn how to pray.prayer can be  very simple to a child but sometimes it is hard for a grow up person. Why ? It is just because we grow up person make things too complicated  but a child make things simple.The best way to improve our prayer life is learn how to pray as a child, then we will see breakthrough in our prayer life.How can we do that? We can do that with the following steps :



1. Start to pray in the morning ?


  I still remember the first time when I was experience  a revival in my prayer life after I had attended a church conference. It was just a 180 degree life change experience for me. Before this conference , I have already been a Christian for more than 15 years in the Evangelical realm. Prayer is just an important issue in my head but never in my heart. Actually prayer was a boring experience for me even I always attend the church prayer meeting in the past years.Why did I feel boring? There were two reasons for this problem? First of all, I have never enjoyed prayer because it was just like talking to a person who will never response in the air.Secondly,my former prayer experience in the church prayer meeting was just like a sitting in a meeting and listen to everybody's prayer one by one for an hour but I was only allowed to pray for three minutes for the whole night. All these have been changed after I experienced by prayer revival. I started to pray for an hour early in the morning when I woke up and worship the Lord at the same time. It was just like a fire within me and also a thirsty that motivated me to meet God in the morning with my morning prayer time. Was I tired ? Yes, I was but within my spirit I could feel the power and energy within me after 1 hour of prayer. The rest of the day was full of positive thinking in my mind and always wanted to praise God on those days.That's the reason why I highly recommended you can start your morning prayer all over again. Actually, there were many Christians in church history who have the similar experience as I did and I am sure I am not the only one who has such an experience in  the world as well.Commit yourself to pray for one hour in the morning and you will certainly experience the fire of prayer within you.


2. Start to improve your prayer habit.

Don't expect you can sit on a chair and pray for one hour because you will fall into sleep especially when you didn't have a good sleep the night before. First of all, stand before God and starting to praise Him with songs. Secondly, change your posture whenever you feel tired from one posture (eg. standing) to another posture (eg. walk around in your own room) and keep on praying out loud (but you don't have to wake up anybody who are still sleeping in your house) and that will keep you awake at all times. You can kneel down whenever you feel like it and you can open your eyes and praise God when you feel like falling into sleep during your morning prayer time.Most important of all is to keep you awake and you are praying.


3. Start to listen to God during the prayer time.

Prayer doesn't mean that you are the one who do the talking all the time because you need to let God speaks to you. God will speak to you by telling you in your mind that turn to certain passages or verse of the Bible. The Holy Spirit can speaks to you through a picture in your mind or a vision as well. Whatever God will say to you, just prepare a notebook and  a pen on your table and get ready to write it down or draw it down first. If you can't understand what it means for the time being, just keep asking the Lord about the meaning and He will let you know in times.The Holy Spirit is a great teacher in teaching you how to pray and get to know His voice.As the Bible says that "I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice (John 10:1-5)." All you have to do is to getting familiar to His voice just like sheep get to know the voice of the shepherd and relationship and daily encounter with the Lord Jesus are the two main keys on listening to God. on the other hand, the more you obey on God's words, the more you can hear about His voice.

 Conclusion :

Your prayer life will be different if you are willing to ask the Holy Spirit to fill in your life. You will also experience the power of prayer in that one hour prayer and worship meeting with God. Once you can act like a child and keep up this prayer habit everyday. You will see a major breakthrough in your prayer life. Once you will enjoy prayer and really see God will speaks to you in a way that you are the only one who will gets it, you will start to enjoy your prayer life and you will hear God's voice often.

Book Review on Supernatural Provision by Joan Hunter

Book Review on Supernatural Provision
(Living in financial Freedom) by Joan Hunter
" We received more miracle reports when Joan Hunter was a guest on Marylin Hickey's program during an interview."
                         
                                                         

                   Click the link from below to view the interview



       This is surely a book that is worthy to be read by any Christian who is willing to experience God 's supernatural provision in a powerful way on this planet in this century. I was first attracted by the interview which Sid Roth arranged with Joan Hunter on the most popular TV program in Day Star TV. When I started to read this book, I started to understand how God wants to blessing His children with prosperity at all times throughout the Bible. It was Satan who always wants to steal our blessing from God and it was never the heart of the Father who desires His children to live in poverty. In fact, we are always misunderstand the love of our heavenly Father who simply wants to bless His children at all times.Of course sin has also been mentioned in this book on how this problem can be an obstacle for our financial blessing from the heaven above.However, once we have deal with our sin and ask God for His forgiveness and repent on our sin of rebellion, He will just forgive our sin and blessing from heaven will just come like rain to our life like never before.
  

One of the most special teaching in this book is scriptural tithing. Joan Hunter surely understand what means by financial struggle in her early childhood and in her first marriage as well. However, financial hardship didn't stop her heart towards God. Joan Hunter has successfully shown us in this book that as we sow our seed according to specific Bible verses and as our tithing and offering are lining up with that particular scripture, we will always be blessed. I have to admit that each page will attract me to keep on reading forward and  want to know more as well. However, I think the miracles and all the testimonies involve in this books are the most attractive elements for any Christian who wants to experience God in a new way.

    Joan Hunter is truly a servant of God whom God is using powerfully not just in healing ministries but also in financial breakthrough as well. Joan 's ministries are experiencing financial miracle all the times and what she taught in this book is never a theory but a reality in her life and others as well. You will be amaze in how God can turn around your concept of tithing, offering, donation, faith and trust as well through this book. That's why I highly recommend this book any Christian who wants to experience  a financial breakthrough and miracle in his or her own life. As a matter of fact, I have just found out that someone has just purchased 10 of this book from my account without I really promoting it. I don't know why did that person needs to order 10 of this books for, but I do know one thing : only good book will attract such a fire for people to order that many of the same book. At least I am among one of the reader who can testified that this is really a treasure fro any Christian who wants to experience financial blessing from heaven.

Conclusion:

Don't for get to read any testimony at the end of this book for you will be encouraged and amaze on how God can perform miracle in our life. I can guarantee to you that once you have seen all these testimonies, you are going to shock by the love and powerful of God. That means your life will never be the same.May God bless you with this book.

1. Starting by setting up an hour to pray

    In order for you to experience the joy of praying for an hour, you must first prepare an hour just for the sake of praying. This logical and reasonable to set this hour in your day. If you don't even want to set an hour out of your daily schedule to pray, there is no way you can understand what it means by praying for an hour. What will be the best time to pray for an hour? For sure , in the morning when you first jump out of your bed will always be the best time to pray if you can get up early. Of course you can set another time of the day if you feel so rush in the morning. However, the fact being that you will either getting worry about things of the day once you start to work or you will just feel tired during the night. If you can give God the best hour of your day, you will experience how power is the first hour of your day will be after you meet God in the morning.

2. Starting by giving thanks and praise to God

    The Bible clearly states that "Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name.(Psalm 100:4)" When we tried to enter into God's presence, it is always a good way to start up with thanks giving and praise. You can simply thank God for His daily provision to you and your family, thank God for your breathe, thank God for a good sleep, etc. Thank God with small things then, you will feel how blessing you already are for having all these. Everything is a grace of God and God owe us nothing. As long as we can remember this, we will have tons of things to thank God for. We can also start to praise His names since God has many names revealed to us in the bible and each name has its own meaning to tell us how great our God is. You can also praise God for what he did for you  or anythings or anybody that comes up to your mind that you need to praise God for. (That will fill your first 10-15 minutes up in your prayer time)
3. Starting by listening to God's voice

    In this sweet hour of prayer, you don't just keep on speaking at all times, but you can sing out your praise as well and then get into a moment of listening to God's voice. It is better for you to prepare a pen and a notepad (or a notebook) besides you while you start to listen to God. When God speak anything special to you, you can just write it down for your memory or later meditation. God can speak to you with a small still voice in your mind just like when he spoke to the prophet Elijah. He can speak to you with words from the bible, a vision or a picture during your prayer time to you.God will speak to each of us in a unique way that He wants us to get the message .Just sensitive to His voice in this hour when you need to keep your mouth shut and let God speaks.You will be enjoy what He is going to say to you and this is one of the sweetest moment of your prayer hour. (this listening process will takes you to another 10-15 minutes)

4. Starting by Proclaiming God words out aloud

    By proclaiming God's words, you will build up your own faith in prayer.By the time you proclaim God's words , you are the one who is listening as well. God's words will just enter into your spirit and build up your faith at the same time. Since there is power in what you say "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.(Proverbs 18:21)" and also in the words of God So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;It will not return to Me empty,Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.(Isaiah 55 :11)", there is something going on in the spirit realm as you proclaim God's word out loud. You can choose 10 verses each morning and experience the power of God in this prayer moment in your life.(5-10 minutes is gone)

5. Starting by pray for yourself and your own prayer items

   We will not place our own self in the beginning of the prayer time because God will always be the first focus of our prayer time. However, it is also important to pray for ourselves since God told us to love others like how we love ourselves as what Jesus summarized about the essence of the commandments. We also have the responsibility to manage things about our life. That's nothing wrong to pray for your self except we always place God as our priority in our prayer time. We can also pray for our family members and anything we need to pray about in that last 15 minutes of our one hour prayer meeting with God. (15 minutes will be gone by now).

Conclusion :

   It is how easy to pray for an hour with the suggest timetable from above and you will never right out of things to pray if you will try to use this plan. In case you really have nothing to pray about, you can at least read God's words and get to know God in an intimate way within this hour. It will certainly build up your spirit and draw you closer to God. Actually you can pray bin tongue if you are really running out of things to pray because it is a supernatural language that the Holy Spirit loves to give to every believer. (whether you view it a sign of Spirit-filled experience or as a first sign in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, or any charismatic experience related to this. ) It really helps out your pray and also edify our faith as well.That's why we will never run out of prayer items and we can always pray with the help of the Holy Spirit who can always teach us how to pray according to the Father's will. Start to pray for an hour per day tomorrow, you will experience the joy of prayer and the power from this special prayer meeting with God.

How to pray for your church leaders ?

                                                          


Your pastoral team needs your prayer

It is a blessing to call by God to lead the church. However, it is never an easy job for being a pastor or any leadership position in the church. For when the church is called by God to preach the gospel to the whole world, Satanic attack and human conflicts cannot be avoid. When being asked by someone that whose the leader people need to spend more time to pray for ? I would definitely say that it should always be the senior pastor of the church. For when we look at the bible , we know that no authority is not given by God. As a senior pastor, he or she needs to always be alert for the sheep. No just that , the senior pastor also needs to know what is the vision that God wants the church to go along with. At the same time, the senior pastor is the one who will face the most criticism and expectation from the whole congregation. And of course the senior pastor is the one who Satan wants to attack the most. For if the senior pastor happen to fall down on any trap of sin or leave the church for whatever hurtful  reasons, the church will be suffering from their lack of leadership and clear direction from God as well. So, be sure to pray for your senior pastor everyday whether you like this leader or not. For he or she is the chosen one from God lead the flocks of the church. At the same time , never participate in any gossip and criticism towards the senior pastor as well. For that will save you from falling into the trap of Satan who wants to see your church falling apart and lack of unity each day and night. On the other hand, it is also important to pray for all the pastoral staffs each and everyday. Since they are also called by God to assist the senior pastor and work as a team to lead the church as well, harmony and unity of the pastoral team will always be important for any church growth.

Your deacons and elders need your prayer 

We don't want to minimize the importance of deacons and elders in our prayer. However, their roles and function are different according to the Bible. There are many denomination will exalt their deacons board or the elders board as the highest decision making body in the church. Although we don't want to argue with this phenomenon, we don respect that each person do have different role to play in the church. The unity of such a leadership team is also important for the church as well. That's why we surely need to pray for them as well.

How to pray for these leaders ?

I would suggest the following seven ways to pray for the pastoral team and the leadership team as well and you should never underestimate the power of prayer :  

1. Apply the blood of Jesus to the senior pastor daily and ask the Holy Spirit to fill he or she that this leader will live in holiness and receive the love, wisdom, power, authority and vision from God to lead the church .

2. Apply the blood of Jesus to the pastoral team that this team will always work in harmony and unity with love. And also ask God to give them a heart of submission and love to the senior pastor and help the senior pastor to carry out any decision that needs to be execute in the church.

3. Pray for all the deacons and all the elders to have a spirit of co-operation and unity to work with the pastoral team in building up the church as a whole.

4. Ask God to give each member of the church to be humble and submissive to the leadership team of the church.

5. Bind all the spirits of any destructive idea, hatred, unforgiveness, bitterness , dis-unity, temptation , rebellious and any demonic attempt in Jesus name and command all these spirits be gone from the church in a daily basis. Also declare all the destruction for any Satanic plan to be completely destroyed and leave the church forever in Jesus mighty name.

6. Ask the Lord to send His angles to protect the leadership team and their family members in a daily basis as well.

7. Ask the Holy Spirit to always raise up new leaders in the next generation of this church and also ask God to raise mighty intercessors who knows how to listen to God;s voice and how to pray for the church in a daily basis to arise in this church.

Conclusion

The church in the end time needs to be more alert on how to pray for their leadership. God places each of us in a church is not a coincidence. He has a plan for each of us , so don't just leave your church whenever you feel like it. Your leaders are all human and they are not perfect, that's why they need your prayer in order to build up the church according to God's will. Will you be a prayer warrior for your church leadership team or will you be an attacker to your church leaders when you don't feel satisfy with anything ? I pray that you will know what to choose. Amen.
