周二之约Tuesday Quiet Time

After practicing all the one minute chord change, i started playing the first song we've learnt. "How great is our God". through the practicing and strumming, i started praying, singing in the spirit. 

"Thank you Jesus for such a beautiful day that you have blessed me. I dedicate this day into your loving hands. I yearn for a touch from heaven, I yearn for a touch from the Holy Spirit, I yearn for your Holy presence. "

I felt such strong presence of God lingering in the office. .God indeed came. My heart felt soft again, light, peace and comforted. I continue praying. 

"Jesus, help to to feel like how you feel, help me to care like how you care, help me to love like how you love. "'

many images of my friends came flooding into my mind. I started to pray for them one by one. when I cry out to God on their behalf, I felt the pain of suffering alone in the darkness, the life without God, the life without joy and purpose. I continue to intercedes for my friends. 

"I will draw near to you when you draw near to me.."

Such a wonderful presence of God, fresh oil from heaven when I started to pray, worship. It is truly that His touch, His strength that will sustain me through the day. To be fruitful, purposeful, productive, effective. I long to worship him and pray like this once more..to meet Him face to face, to be in His presence. 

Thank you Jesus. 

Experience God

John 7:37-39
On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying,"If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. "But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, who those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

No one can force you to experience God. No one can force you to drink in all God is doing - you must want it yourself, it is all up to you, you make that choice to thirst and hunger to experience Him.

Do not be just a spectator!! Get involve! Participate!! Take in!! Taste!Taste the goodness of God. 


Psalms 34:8
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good...


Keep praying even if you do not feel anything. It takes time to wait upon the Lord. Pray and wait. 
If you participate, if you wait, God will come true for you. 

P.U.S.H= Pray/Praise Until Something Happen.
Wait on the Lord, waiting moves you from lukewarm to hunger. 
Waiting prepares your heart to anticipate what God is going to do. 
God is true to His words, those who wait and thirst upon the Lord will be filled. 
Do not take second hand revelation, be determine to experience God yourself. 
Be the one who personally taste His goodness!!

Taken from Sermon On The Mount, Lesson 4. 

5. Experience and take in all that God is doing for yourself.

将福和吉他之旅

大学时期的福，功课虽然忙碌，但在教会的活跃和对于上帝的爱 有增无减。一天一天的渡过，一年又一年的渡过。福的吉他技巧已经更上一层楼了。那个中学时期购买的800吉他已经发挥了极限的作用。福更渴望要把最美好的弹奏，配上动人心弦的吉他和最真挚的敬拜献上给上帝。

新加坡市场上素质较好的吉他售卖价格是3000到10000左右。平日生活费仅仅足够三餐和搭公车，哪来的钱去买吉他呢？脑海里盘算了一下，就算下课后打工也要大概半年到一年之间才能存到那笔钱。

“天父啊，我渴望以最好的音乐来敬拜，赞美你。因为你是配得的。带领我，引导我。我尽我所能。。“

在上帝的国度里根本没有”不可能“的词。圣经上说：“有你（耶稣基督），凡事都有可能”福不能接受因为金钱的限制，买不到素质好的吉他。每天除了上课以外，福踊跃参与教会活动，服侍，还争取时间打工，存钱。大概一年后，存了几千块。打工的钱每一分每一毫都存起来买梦想的吉他。这段时间圣灵的引导和启发，福漂洋过海到越南的一个小镇去追寻不可能的任务。

在这店，手工制作了好多吉他。吉他形态优美，挂在墙上等候寻找主人。福把所有的吉他，一把一把的放在手里，慢慢的观察，感受，弹奏，心里只有一个目标，寻造一个最好的吉他。一天又一天的过去了，店里所有的吉他都试过了。福想，我不可能空手而归，但是我不可能降下对吉他的要求，因为是拿来敬拜万王之王，万主之主。

福开口 问店主，“所有的吉他都在这里吗？”

店主拿出一个吉他盒。打开后，福的眼睛发亮了！圣灵说“就是这把吉他。”福拿上手试了试看，真的是世间的罕见，木纹清晰美丽，弦音清脆。福接着询问价钱，结果店主说是非卖品。

原来吉他是用上百年的Koa 木制作的，（http://www.notablewoods.com/pages/koa.html）价钱本来就是不菲，加上是店主的珍藏，根本也别提要收买，可以拿来试弹已经是难得了。
福听店主不停的炫耀关于这用Koa木的吉他的珍贵和罕有，心里不断的祷告。

福用手里的吉他，弹奏，轻唱着Lord, I offer my life to you. 真诚的敬拜，充满了店的每个角落，上帝的美好芳香佈慢渗透了店里的每样东西，上帝的爱浇灌了店主的心。店主被音乐震撼住了。他问福，“你是 基督徒吗？“趁着这个机会，福告诉店主，购买吉他的原因是拿来做赞美敬拜制造天地的神，来服侍神的人民。为什么自己不肯寻找次等的吉他，是因为神配得最好最棒的音乐。店主被福爱神的态度和对吉他严格的要求打动了。发现福敬拜，追随的神让自己心门敞开，感动。终于，非卖品也随着福的Budget交易成功！

一切荣耀，赞美归给耶和华！

接下来。。。吉他带来了爱情。。

 多么优美的歌曲。听听看吧。赞！

福与吉他的故事

昨天上了宝贵的一课。从来都不知道将福那个关于吉他的故事。昨天他的见证深深的打动每个学生的心。我相信天父当时也在天上微笑。

小时候，福的好友茂顺用吉他弹奏了这首日本成名曲Forbidden Love，当时他深深地被这首歌曲迷住了，心想，这世界真的有这种美丽的爱吗？就是这样，福开始了这段吉他的旅程。刚开始学吉他时，他买了最便宜也最基本的吉他，$80。

信了主之后，学的都是敬拜赞美的歌曲。学生时代的他，因为家庭的破碎和孤单让他每一天都沉醉在美丽的乐曲当中。每一天拿着吉他弹奏，敬拜上帝，因为那破碎和渴慕的心，上帝每次都会在敬拜中出现。浓浓的平安，爱，喜乐从满了简陋的房间。他的心是孤单，破碎的，但是上帝每次都会让恩典一次又一次的充满那个空空的心。就像旧约中的大卫一样，在草原每天唱着敬拜上帝，福也孤单的在房间里每天用吉他赞美敬拜上帝。当时天父和他的感情就是这样一天一天的培养出来的。每天体验的是那么浓厚的爱，那么浓厚神的同在。那个青年的时代就是这样每天5~6小时的用吉他敬拜中渡过的。

快要毕业时，福的吉他技术已经熟练了。那最基本的$80吉根本不能让他发挥和呈现更高层次的演奏。他心里渴慕要一把能让他发挥和弹出心里对上帝的爱的吉他。那时每天只有￥2生活费的他根本买不起一把吉他。献上给上帝的敬拜赞美必须是最好的，因为他配的。福一心只想给上帝献上最棒，最美好的敬拜。每次弹奏吉他时，福心里都疼痛，因为吉他的声音不是最好的，心有余而力不足。于是福决定用上课后空挡的几个小时来打工，目的就是为了赚钱能购买一个更好的吉他来敬拜配得的上帝。

过了几个月后，打工的工钱终于存够了！他买了一个$800的吉他。 
故事并还没结束。明天再继续。。。
