next time you see a person with a beard
who is kind and gentle and does not say
a bad thing : it could be Jesus himself
in the flesh.
 
i once met a dark skin beggar who asked
humbly for 2 dollars ! he did have a beard !
it turned out to be the Lord !
 
as it said in the Lord's book :
 
to entertain and be hospitable to strangers,
for who knows they could be angels !
(or the Lord himself)
 
and if you give unto others out of love
you give unto the Lord.
 
is it him ???  ask !

' for you were saved by grace, not due to your own merit/work/goodness..
 
i listened to a brilliant sermon at Riverview church in Perth on the weekend.
And the worship was beautiful ! full of God's anointing.
 
i did prepare myself beforehand, asking the Holy Spirit to come fill the
place, and fill me...
 
one asked, one receives.
 
i was very touched during the sermon on God's amazing Grace...
and the old hymm of Amazing Grace ! and the story of the
man who wrote it...
 
he lived as a sailor during the times of the african slaves trade.
and he lived a life of alcohol, greed, ruthlessness and domination
over the african slaves...until he found Jesus !
then he really repented, and was saved by God's amazing grace,
and went on to become a pastor/priest for the Lord...
 
i was in tears during the sermon ! of my own wretched life
without the Lord ! and his amazing grace towards me !!!
 
if it was not for God's favor for  everyone...none can
stand in his presence and live...
 
if it was not for Lord Jesus's cruxifixion and punishment for
my sin, i would be dammed.
 
so , i thank God for his Grace, and i thank Lord Jesus
for dying on the cross for me...
 
now Jesus is mine ! and i am his !

fight the good fight of faith !
but in all things love is more important than faith !
but faith and love together in action is pleasing to God !
 
its amazing how after a person becomes fervent christian
he gets attacks from peers, family, friends, and strangers...
more amazing how bad things suddenly happen to him/her
or his/her family...
 
but also amazingly is the blessings that comes too for him/her
and his/her family in other ways !
 
the benefits and riches in following after Jesus, far outweights
the costs in this life and the next !
 
FAR outweights !!!
 
so friends and fellow believers in Jesus !
lets fight the good fight of faith (against spiritual forces and against
the evil impulses within us)
and let us continue to do good, so that others can see it
and give God the glory !
 
in all things : if you do it for Jesus, out of love, then there
is eternal fruits and much blessings from our heavenly father !

we had an amazing cruise from Rome, to Catania Sicily,
to Greece (Patmos, Mykonos, Santorini) and Izmir turkey.
 
did plenty of eating.
plenty of swimming and enjoyed the sunshine
felt so healthy afterwards !
 
plenty of reading too ! David Gemmel !!! amazing stories.
 
our highlight though was encountering Lord Jesus
at the 5pm Mass in the St Peter Basilica...the church
of the Vatican ! ...the big brother church for the world.
 
the Lord was there ! kneeling in the front pew
for the whole mass....and everyone can see him...he
was present in the flesh...
 
but none knew it was him, til the end...when he
came and showed his face to Alison and spoke
to her that it is him...
 
i saw the Lord too...and thought to myself...wow
this chap looks like Jesus !
 
but it wasn't just any chap imitating the Lord
 
it was Jesus Almighty King in his humble
human form !
 
so that was very gracious of him to show himself
to Alison and I !
 
remember the bible story...on the road 2 disciples
were discussing with a man (Jesus) after crucifixion..
the man taught them the scriptures concerning
the Christ...and for the whole time...they did
not know it was the Lord, until he broke bread
and revealed himself fully to them...then he vanished
 
that was exactly what happened at the Vatican !
 
Come Lord Jesus ! Come Lord Jesus !
Let us see your precious face !!!!
