Are you CAREFUL or CARELESS ?
Take a moment and answer that question honestly... Overall, in
the 51% plus area of your life are you careful or careless?
I believe the majority of people will answer this question by
saying they are careful, usually.
Did you quiet your mind first? Did you "lean not on YOUR OWN
understanding" and seek the direction and the wisdom which comes
from above? The mind can be a "terrible thing to taste." (no pun
intended)
Saturday we will be talking about this issue. Do you have the
mind of the Kingdom or the World? In the Kingdom things don't
look or work like they do in the World. In the World it is a
GOOD thing to be careful. In the Kingdom it is sin...
You read that right.
If that statement shakes your perspective a bit then come to our
teleconference Saturday and see what the Word of God has to say
on this matter. You may never be the same:
"Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not
subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be." Rom 8:7

So sorry that I didn't keep in touch for quite some time. I know
that I have to update you about my stories since you have been
such an encouragement to me.
My husband, Yang moved out from the house in end of Oct 2005 but
before that God has already told me that Yang will be moving out
so I had peace. That was when I told God that my husband now is
fully in God's Hands and there's nothing else that I can do
except to pray for him but only God that can bring a miracle to
this marriage. Even though I knew that God will restore this
marriage, in my mind it might be years before the miracle happen.
So in Dec 2005 when Yang sms me through his handphone asking me
to go out dinner with him that night, I was in a shocked at
first. I had appointment with my girlfriend to go out dinner with
her so I intend to let Yang knows that I can't make it for
dinner. But before I can sms back to him, suddenly my mum called
me and started to ask me again about Yang, myself and our
relationship. So I just told her what happened. Immediately my
mum told me that I have to go dinner with Yang and my dad came to
the phone and told me the same thing too. At the same time I also
heard a small gentle voice saying "Honor your father and mother"
which I knew that it was God's voice. So I called my girlfriend
and told her and immediately my friend also told me that I had to
go out with Yang. Everything seems to be planned by God. Well of
course I ended up going dinner with him and that night was the
start of the restoration.
Before the dinner, in my mind was wondering why he wants me to go
out dinner with him and what he wants to tell me. There's so many
negative thoughts that came to my mind but at the same time there
was also peace inside my heart as though knowing that it is
something good and not bad.
Well the dinner went very well and we had a long conversation
after 1 year that we didn't talk to each other. After that he
also joined myself, my sisters and brother-in-law for the
Christmas gathering which I knew that he had a good time. My
sisters really made him comfortable and they didn't bring out the
past. After that he also decided to ask me to follow him back to
his hometown during Chinese New Year festival and he will also
follow me back to my hometown to have re-union dinner with my
family. My dad and mum was so happy and my dad said that it is
the best re-union dinner that we will have and yes it is true
that we had a great re-union dinner. His family and relatives
were very happy that we are back together again. God is really
great and awesome.
Throughout this whole journey, God has shown how real He is to me
and I know nothing will ever take His place in my heart. There
were also times when those bad memories kept coming back to my
mind and it was so painful to think about it. It came to a point
that I cried out to God and told Him that I don't think I can go
on being with Yang because the thought of the past is just so
painful. But God is sooo.... good, each time when I cried out to
Him, He will give me the strength and He told me not to hold on
to the past but look forward to the future that He has for me. He
spoke to me about that personally and He also sent someone to
tell me and remind me. God is just so good, there's just no words
to describe how good He is.
Yang has asked me to move to his new place, a rented apartment.
I'm really praying that God will bring Yang back to church again.
I know He will in His timing, the perfect timing. So do take care
and hope to hear from you soon.
