OIC Eye Group Revival

All I want to be is a lover of Jesus, but the burning passion in my heart that stirs the urge to bring revival fire and God's love to everywhere I go is great. After impacting my campus, UC Riverside, I've been looking forward to see God impact my workplace! (Even though people tell me it's much more difficult than the campuses, I don't have a doubt in my mind that by His great love and power, all things are possible!)

It started from a simple eye examination on mid-July...

After graduation in March, I became part of the unemployment population. Seriously I've been looking everywhere but no luck. One day I went to the OIC Eye Group for an eye exam, and surprisingly, without knowing they're even hiring, I got a job there. With extreme excitement, I knew God has something awesome planned for this practice. Looking back at the past four months, I see God's fingerprints all over the place... (Almost everyone, including my boss' children experienced God and their faith grew within these four months. You can read about the details below if you would like to know what exactly happened.)

The first week, I wept and interceded for the staffs and patients during one of the IMPACT prayer meetings. Got a burden in my heart to start a Bible study at the place. Next day, my co-worker started sharing w/ me over lunch that she was praying last night and God gave her the burden to start a Bible study w/ the staffs too!! Confirmation! We started it, then more staffs joined as we worship, pray and share the Word. We told the boss about what we're doing and he was super excited, he wanted to make an announcement to the staff and personally join us too, but he's just too busy. (He even texted me to let me know he couldn't make it, now that's something.) Ok, that's a good start! :D

During 2nd month, I went to lunch w/ one staff whom I've been talking to and caring for. She shared with me before that she was pregnant when she was 18, had the kid, got kicked out by her parents, then did not marry the real dad, and now married to another guy from another state. She was upset that day and as she willingly opened herself up to me, she shared that she and her husband had a fight last night and he told her he wants a divorce. He hasn't been treating her well as she deserved. Everyday he'd go straight to his mom's house after work, then go home at around 11, 12am, and by that time her and her son were already asleep. Whenever he plans family outings he'd never include her and the son...etc. She shared that she wants to give up on love and just raise up her son by herself. I said to her, "It sounds cliche but I want to tell you that Jesus loves you." Encouraged her to bring her brokenness before Jesus for He loves to heal and love. I gave her a big hug for Jesus. She told me that her sister-in-law accidentally texted her something about going to church when it was supposed to be for another person. She took it as a confirmation and went to church that very Sunday. After a few weeks I asked her how she's doing, she said, "I've been going to church every Sunday and things are getting so much better now!" Praise God!!

Another staff, who's not a believer, started asking me many questions about God and the gospel during lunch hours. He really want to start going to church but because his wife and the rest of his family don't believe in anything, it's hard for him to go. On the last day of work, he asked me to pray for him. He felt that he's trapped in the darkness with no hope, he's trying to break open the box but he kept on getting bruised. After praying for him, the staff sitting next to me said, "Wow, I felt God's presence so strongly when you were praying. My heart felt so warm right now." The staff I prayed for was just speechless... (Cause we asked him how he's feeling, what he thinks....etc, and he couldn't answer us. lol) Thank You Jesus for touching lives here!

The day before that, one doctor called me in his office and asked me, "Hey Sarah, are you a strong Christian?" I was like... uh, I guess... yes? (Seriously, how do you answer that question?) Anyway, he asked for my advice on somethings happening w/ his church/pastor/family...etc. He really has the heart to reach out to the lost, but with his current condition (two jobs as a doctor, 1 kid and living super far away from work/church) it's hard for him to spare time. I told him that wherever he is, that's his mission field. Then I told him about the staff I mentioned in the previous paragraph, whom I prayed for, that he is hungry for God but it's difficult for him to attend church. I said, "Why don't you start discipling him? This is perfect for you!" He got excited and said he'd be happy to do so. C'mon! MPD!!

Now... wanna hear some healing testimonies? :) (sorry none of them have to do w/ eyes... haha)

One of the back assistants has trouble sleeping and suffers from constant headache. I prayed for her and the next day she told me she's never been able to sleep that well and deep before. Praise the Lord!!

One of our doctors twisted and hurt her neck while sleeping, the next day she asked me to pray for her. I laid hand on her neck and commanded the pain to leave and complete healing to come. After prayer she was like, "Wow, the place where you placed your hand got super hot as if a heating pad was on it." Then she went and touched my hand and found out my hand's not that hot. I explained to her that it's the Holy Spirit and many people experience heat during healing. Asked her how she's feeling, and she said her neck's got a lot better, prayed again and the pain completely left!! She was really really surprised and she said, "Sarah, you are so professional!!!" That cracked me up... lol! Hallelujah~! Later that day she texted me, "Thank you Sarah, I'll start going to church more!"

There were more but these are the highlights! :)

To look back, I've been working at OIC Eye Group (LaserPro Eye Center) for four months now, and today (Dec 23rd, 2009) was my last day, for God has prepared another place for me to impact.... TKO Media LLC. Let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in TKO as it is in heaven. Amen!! More Lord!!!

God's With Me

Spending the night at Karen's place, my ex-roommate. Watched IHOP webcast together, laid hands and prayed for each others. Her first time in a super long time feeling God's tangible presence and joy filling her from the inside out. She shared a testimony of creative miracle that happened to her mom. Karen's mom has developed gum disease, which causes her gum muscle to shrink, decay and weaken so sooner or later teeth fall out. Fake teeth would not be an option because the gum simply cannot hold them in strong enough. Right now she's in the latest stage where American doctors basically told her there's nothing they could do anymore to make it better. However, Karen shared that a while back when they prayed over her mom's condition, a new teeth grew out!! We're contending to see all the teeth grow back and gum muscle restored and strengthened. Healthy gum and teeth in Jesus' Name! Amen!

GodChaser, unity among the body of Christ, is my long term dream and I'll witness it come to past! We are history makers!! C'mon Lord raise young Daniel, Esther, Joshua up from all across the nation, let Your Kingdom come impact this generation. Amen.

Superpower!!

If you ask me what kind of superpower I would want to have, I'll ask you what's the most powerful one.

I think... the ultimate superpower that's most powerful, but the hardest to mature and excel, is the power of LOVE.

Everyone has heard of the story where a mother lifted up a car to save her child. That's what human can do when they are under certain circumstances. Some call it 狗急跳牆, I say it's the superpower of Love.

Love is a type of superpower because it heals, completes, delivers, and even saves souls! I mean, c'mon, God is love, and God is supernatural, so Love must be supernatural!! Duh! I believe signs and wonder happen because of Love.

This is super random but that "revelation" just suddenly hit me in the head a few minutes ago. So... if you got Love, you got the ultimate superpower! Woohooo!!!

Now, Jesus said that there's no greater love than a friend sacrifices his life for another friend. That's where the ultimate power of love matures at, and it does make sense because where Jesus sacrificed his life, is where the greatest power lies.

Ps. Now... I wanna walk on water, walk through walls and fly..... *0*
Hum, if I love the water, the wall, and the air enough I'll be able to do all that??

UCR Update

Jasmine from UCR just called me and gave me a campus update. She said that the walls and strongholds on campus has officially been broken down, the entire spiritual atmosphere is different now. She would walk around the campus and see people doing treasure hunt, witnessing, worshiping and praying. Crystal told her about this lady on the crutches, and she wanted to go pray for her but she's almost late for class, but she thought she would totally regret it if she didn't go so she went. Guess what the lady said, "You are the 5th person asking to pray for me, and I've only been on the crutches for three days!" This is so crazy!! Jasmine said that not just that Christians are walking the talk more now, but people who are non-believers are getting hungrier for Jesus than before!! She got that from the increasing results of weekly evangelizing of christian fellowships like KCCC, KCM, CCC, IV...etc. Not only they are bringing people to the Kingdom, they are also disciplining them too! I'm so encouraged. Like... SOOOO encouraged!!!! This is such a beautiful worship for God... people uniting in Love with each others and with God. Heart to heart connection.... wow. God I'm in awe with You. <3

Next Monday Jake Hamilton and the RHOP team will come to the last Awaken! UCR! event for this school year. It's gonna be awesomely anointing and glorious!! :D Let me know if you wanna come! It starts at 7pm so we need to leave at 6pm latest, or preferably 530pm!

Speak My Lord! Shut Up Satan!

"What do I do?? What do I do?? What do I do??..... Jesus! I need You!! Please speak to me, I need to hear Your voice... I haven't hear Your voice for so long, please speak to me Father... I know I have issues, I have problems and I need help!!! I need Your help Jesus!! Help me... Help me... Help me Father... Hold me and speak to me Lord... Connect my heart with Your heart, I just want to be with You..."

That was my outcry to Jesus yesterday during worship, as I knelt behind the sofa by myself and endless tears dripping down like water dripping from a broken faucet. I didn't know what I was saying but I just needed to pour out my brokenness before Him. I'm learning to be totally real and naked before Him, like what Sarah Allis Yang said, "Don't be afraid to show your real emotion and what you wanted to say to Jesus. He yearns for a real heart to heart relationship with you, not good Christian girls in act." I knew, only in Him can I find my rest and peace.

The truth is, I haven't been able to sleep well this past week. Whenever I lay on my bed, thousands of thoughts would just barge in my head like trains storming from all directions, so loud yet couldn't stop them from rushing in. And I'm really sorry if I texted/called some of you at late hours during my sleepless nights. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there for me, put the effort to talk to me and trying to help me fall asleep. *big hugs for those awesome friends* You guys are the reason why I can still stand firm and stay encouraged.

Recently, I felt that I'm a mutated Christian. I don't know how to describe it. I still yearn for His love, His Spirit, to be baptized in the Spirit... but when I hear others talking about how crazy the Holy Spirit's fire, electricity, power and all that manifestation goodies, I'm not as excited. When they ask me if I wanted some of that I would even kindly reject. I don't know why, aren't we supposed to be constantly desiring the Holy Spirit wine and constantly be filled by it? Maybe it's because I haven't been reading THAT much Word and spreading THAT much gospel this past month. I don't know, but I felt I'm a spiritual outcast, a weirdo who doesn't want the fire balls, the blue fire, the white fire, the red fire of the Holy Spirit... whatever!

Then when Pastor Mike shared that, "It's ok to start over. It's ok to fall in love with Jesus again. It's ok...." I smiled, I needed to hear that. Thank you Lord. It's true that nothing satisfies when You speaks my name, I felt it when You called me out of the crowd yesterday and used Pastor Mike to prophesy and pray over me. Thank you Father. I love You.

This song came to me when I was broken before Jesus during worship... sorry, wasn't paying much attention to what the worship band was singing, I was paying more attention to Him. I started singing this song, and it describes my heart and feeling so well...

In Your Presence - Jason Upton

Father I am waiting,
I need to hear from You.
To know that You're approving
of what I say and do.

Cause nothing really satisfies
like when You speak my name.
So tell me that You'll never leave
and everything will be okay.

In Your presence, all fear is gone,
in Your presence.                  
In Your presence, is where I belong,
in Your presence.                  

Father I'm returning
the things I used to do.
Cause somewhere on the journey
I think I lost hold of the truth.

But nothing really satisfies
like when You speak my name.
So tell me that You'll never leave
and everything will be okay.

Yep, it's gonna be okay... I'm gonna unplug all those thoughts and random emotions at night and gaze upon Your eyes instead! :)

[April 25, 2009 12:25am ~ 2:15am]

The baby in my April dream.
The apple in His eyes I could never meet.
Came and gone in one and a half.
His impact for sure was bigger than that.

He was silent yet with voice so loud
United church and families inside and out
He was weak but He is strong
Strengthen the hearts with victorious songs

Now dancing on the golden street.
With the heavenly lollipops oh so sweet.
Rejoicing with a heart fully loved.
By the people from below and above.

Though there's pain in the offering.
The rain shall bring restoration and healing.
Though a mighty spear taken away.
A glorious sword shall be given today.

For the Lord gives and takes away
But we will still choose to say
"Blessed be Your Name"

Jr. High Revival Dream / Golden Royal Seal

Been having lots of dreams lately, but I can't remember most of them. The only dream I remembered was about a IMPACT revival conference focused on middle schoolers. The auditorium was filled with hundreds of fired up Jr. High students and at the end of the meeting one Asian girl ran up the stage and yelled, "Who would prayer walk with me to pray for the Jr. Highs? Follow me if you do!" She began to march around the room and pray, but when she found out no one was following her, she stopped and sat down next to me and MQ, discouraged. In the dream I started to encourage her with the faith and obedience of Moses. I said, "So what if no one's following you right now? When God told Moses to lead hundreds of thousands of Israelites out of the Egypt he didn't know if they will follow him or not, he just obeyed God and led by faith. Walk out by obedience and faith, not by the number of followers or supporters." Then Jack came down stairs and said, "Guys, lunch time!" I knew then, I don't need to continue this dream anymore so I woke up and it was exactly 12pm.

Today Jesse Skinner and his wife, Jessica, came to our Palm Sunday as special speaker. After worship, Matthias did a prophetic dance w/ Misty Edwards' song, "Garden". It was so anointed and the presence of God was so strong, my eyes started to wet. When I see the slides showing pictures of butterflies and beautiful cocoons, I started to cry. One night last year in the prayer room, God showed me that I'm a butterfly who has just got out of its cocoon with the wings still wet, and unable to fly yet. During the dance, through the lyrics of the song and the pictures, I felt God telling me I've grown into a full butterfly, matured beautifully ready to fly. I need to get the picture of a butterfly standing in between two opened palms with its beautiful wings opened fully. God holds me in His palms. After sermon, when Jesse was praying for me, I saw a vision of this one feet tall royal seal made out of pure gold on my left hand. I could literally feel the weight of it, it was so real. I thought to myself, "That's why my left hand rarely shakes and my right hand would always shakes like crazy." I asked God to confirm the vision w/ Jesse's prayer/prophecy over me. A few seconds after, Jesse started to talk about how God's gave me the spirit of wealth, that I would be filled with His favor in that area, and not just finance blessings but I would also have God's righteousness in me. GOLD = wealth. ROYAL SEAL = righteousness. Sweet Jesus! Serious, God has been providing me with unexpected money. Ex. got a check from school in the mail, money found in my pocket, rebate from two months ago came...etc. AND I JUST GOT A JOB YESTERDAY!! Woah.... Jesus You are so good. Jesse prayed, "Lord I pray that You would overwhelm favor upon her that Sarah would even be embarrassed!" Lord, I understand with greater power comes with greater responsibility. I will try my best to manage Your money well, but please continue to teach me how to utilize it. Thank You Lord!!

Redding Trip w/ Core

Officially ended my college life on March 20th 2009. Praise the Lord I passed all of my classes with good grades, even that one class which final exam was worth 60% of my final grade. Hallelujah! Thank You Jesus!

During UCR spring break, which was this past week, I brought a few of my cores at UCR and my sister Alice to Redding for a encounter retreat. We had God's favor and grace all over this trip. He provided everything and got all five of us really wracked by the Holy Spirit. Totally sweet trip! All refreshed, regained strength and received new wine/revelation in our new wineskin. GOD IS GOOD!!

Highlights of the trip:

• On the way there all of us prayed in tongue for an hour straight. Such a breakthrough and we all received visions and words for the trip.
  
• God provided accommodations for all of us and two free meals!
• Seth helped me to meet w/ Bethel's Jr. High teacher. Received a lot from him for children ministry. (Danny Silk is his father in law! O___O)
• I received really cool revelation from Jesus in the Alabaster Prayer House in just 10 minutes! (See below for details)
• Got to attend School of Supernatural 1st year class and it was Bill Johnson who taught. (He's usually not at Bethel during weekdays but we got God's favor to have the privelige to hear him preach) So blessed and challenged!
  
• Went to Turtle Bay's Sundial Bridge and we tried/practiced to walk on water for an hour or so. (Videos will be uploaded later)
  
• Seth got us in Deborah Reed's children ministry small group weekly meeting. We all got wracked by the Holy Spirit. Drunk, holy laughter, balled, electrified, healed...etc for an hour. People were seeing angels. What a night!!
• On the way back got to visit San Francisco JHOP. So encouraged by testimonies and got to see how hidden the place was. Crazy soldiers for Jesus.

Good encounter retreat eh? =)

Revelation at Prayer House
I entered the prayer house and sat down by the fountain. Closed my eyes and gazed upon Jesus. I asked, "God, reveal Yourself to me. What do You want to tell me today?" The verse "1 Corinthians 2" came to my mind right away. I flipped there and it's the passage that talks about wisdom from the Spirit. When I read to verse 5 I started to be filled by the Holy Spirit, my hands started to tremble as it reads "... so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power." As I read on, I felt the Holy Spirit started to speak, through these Words, to my spirit and suddenly I started to get downloads of divine revelations from Him. As I read verse 14, "The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned", the word "accept" jumped out to me. When we do not accept/allow/let/open the door for the Holy Spirit to come and fill us, we are doing the same to block heavenly wisdom from being revealed to us.
There is a reason why it is hard for people who are not Spirit-filled to walk in powerful Christian lifestyles that are based on the two heavenly principals: 1)"Nothing is impossible with God" (Luke 1:37 ) and 2)"When perfection comes, the imperfect disappears" (1 Cor. 13:10). Why are we, as the redeemed ones saved by His grace, still living the lifestyle filled with the impossible and imperfect when it should have been the other way around? The answer is simple. When a person, even saved, keep the mentality and confidence of "i'm possible" and "i'm perfect", we will always be bound in the "impossible" and "imperfect" of our self-righteousness and self-pride. However, to live a victorious lifestyle through God's possibilities and perfection, we must get ride of the "i'm" and replace that with the Great "I AM". Through Him, we'll be able to have the lifestyle of "I AM possible" and "I AM perfect". There is no impossible or imperfect in His dictionary. There is only "I'M possible" and "I'M perfect".

Thank You Jesus for giving me such a great revelation in just 10 minutes. I'm expecting for more. <3

Riverside ER Healing Broke Out!!

Last night me and Jasmine went as under covers to the emergency room of Riverside Community Hospital. Before we went we prayed and God showed us 1.headache 2.lime green 3. feet/ankle pain 4. neck/back pain 5. dark blue shirt mexican guy... etc. and we found all of them!! God healed many people, a guy's feet pain completely healed! (He was wearing lime green snickers), a girl's thrubing pain was gone and could walk w/o crutches and move her toes which she couldn't do before (she said she was wearing lime green shoes earlier in the day too!), the dark blue shirt guy was super touched by the prayer and felt the heat of the Holy Spirit inside of him he said, an old guy didn't need his cane no more because his back pain was relieved...etc. It was CRAZY!!! This all happened in the ER's waiting lobby! Everyone was looking at us when all these crazy things happened, and after the guy and the girl received healing, other people were asking us to pray for them too! The thing was, every person we talked to were already believers, so we didn't lead anyone to Christ... but IT'S STILL SO AWESOME THAT GOD SHOWED UP IN SUCH A POWERFUL AND LOVING WAY!!!!!

Glory to GOD!!!!

Dream of My Deborah

Jasmine is my deborah at UCR. (Ruth is my armor bearer.) This is her dream last night... Please read it and let me know what you think and what it means. =)

Me and Ruth were looking for what I think was the campus prayer house and I ran into a lady who said she could tell me something about what I was looking for...she began to pray for me and said that I would have a dream but while she spoke to me I saw Joe in a vision(FIRE)...then she paused and I thought she was done but then she turned to me and said: "That's How You Will Know"....Me and Ruth come to the prayer room where I believe members of the core are worshiping but I wasn't really paying attention to everyone else I entered into worship.

I began to feel what felt like cool water running down my back, and my hair was in a ponytail and it was dripping from my hair to my back. I turned to a man next to me and told him what I felt. I then looked at my hands and arms and they were wet also! Someone shouted "ITS OIL!" Yes, IT WAS HOLY OIL dripping from the top of my head and forming in my hands! I cupped my hands to peserve the oil...i looked for something to put it in...then you came over and said you should baptize someone...I said sure but then you said do you know what your going to do when you baptize...I said "no." Then you said "your going to cast out demons." SARAH: "You know how I feel about that!" But I just said "oh ok..." I went over to the sink to put the oil in a container and while I did that I randomly said "THAT"S HOW I WILL KNOW"(The same thing the woman had first told me) THE END...What do you think this means?

DREAM: Ministry House

On the night of Februray 5th, 2009, I received a dream about a ministry house. It wasn't any ordinary ministry house, but it was a house for my own ministry and disciples. Just like Jesus and the twelves. The interesting thing was, the house was actually just a bigger size of my real house in Taiwan! Jasmine, Joe Kim, Ruth and Joe Rodriguez were in my dreams. These were the only people I knew from real life, the rest were strangers but in the dream they were part of my twelve disciples. In the dream we were sending Joe Kim off to Campus Awaken Conference at Bethel Church, Redding. (Exactly what we were gonna do the next morning.) Then a sheet of word document was opened before me (not a scroll but word document. haha, yes I believe heaven has advanced. lol), and on the document there was the list of names of the disciples and which trainings they've been to or are going to go.

See, I were to finish college by March and by Februrary I still have no clue who's gonna take my baton of revival fire for UCR. I was really worried, though I knew God's in control. Until this dream happened, I knew even deeper in my heart that God has already prepared people to rise them up at the perfect moment. And He did. A couple of weeks after the dream, people from all over came to me and I get to train them, disciple them and really pour out that fire and anointing God gave me upon them. Now these amazing warriors are fighting on UCR campus, establishing a house of prayer, and keeping that revival fire burning brighter among themselves and others.

I praise God that I was able to go to a campus, make an impact, raised up more stuent leaders to take the baton and run even harder. I died as the seed and I can see the fruits. That's the most rewarding thing. Everything was worth it! Praise Jesus! Glory to God!!!

Sarah Must Die

Went to TheCall tonight, met and chatted with many great people.

Eddie went too and we chatted for a long time. He was once again sharing about dying to oneself. As the great and mighty men were battling at Rome, they didn't climb up to the hills but stayed at the plain field and fought with extreme courage and fire. Then the hills were brought down flat to the ground, and they could see God's glory again. People think they need to get to the top of the hills of the society in order to conquer the hills. Wrong! In order to conquer the hills you must first die to yourself and stand your ground. During the process of climbing up the hills many times we became compromised and when we're at the top we no longer have the fire. "Dying to the dream of success, but live the dream of helping others to succeed, then God will bring success to you." That was what God spoke to Matthew, the pastor of Dream Center. I've always had the mindset or ambition of climbing up to the top of the seven mountains of the society in order to have the loudest voice and biggest impact of bringing the good news to men. However, after listening to what Eddie shared, I came to a realization that there is no time to me to go up at the very top, and there is no room for me to compromise to get to the top. I simply cannot compromise!! But then, after knowning about my situation with my dad, his connections in the seven mountains, his company... Eddie told me that if its God's will for you to do so, then He'll open doors for you and the doors cannot be shut by men. Before we took off, Gordon told me that before I shared about my situation w/ my dad and his connections and such, he felt that I have the anointing of William Wilberforce, the guy who single handed changed the history through politic in the movie Amazing Grace. I was stunned and praising God for what He has in store for me. When I was in Florida for Lakeland Outpouring, I received a prophecy that God will give me divine business strategies and ideas to run businesses. I believe and I know God is definitely going to use me in that area in some part of my life... I need to fast and pray.

Another thing Eddie shared that really struck me was the simple Greatest Commandment. Love your God with all your heart all your strength all your mind and all your soul. Second, love your neighbor as yourself. Many people's known these verse since little, but how many actually know the meaning of it all. The first verse talks about loving God with ALL that you've got!! ALL your love is poured unto God that there is NO comparison between the love you have for Him versis the love you have for others. When He says love your neighbor as yourself, what does He mean? How do we love ourselves?? Jesus said we ought to die to ourselves and carry the cross every minute of the day we're to be called His disciples. When you love your neighbor as yourself, you're calling your neighbors out to also die for Christ, urge them to carry the cross, deny themselves and love God with all that they've got.

Last thing he shared that struck me was Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Eddie described the hunger and thirst as starving to a point that you are wiling to go to war for food. That is how desperate you must be for righteousness. Are you thirsty and starved for righteousness enough to stand for it when you hear professor or students proclaim things that are unrighteousness and defend for the truth? Yes, professors have power over your grades but they have no power over your eternal life. Are you afraid of men or are you afraid of God? Are you afraid to fail (including grades and expectations from parents) for God? (I wrote, "Don't be afrad of failing for God" inside my Bible years ago.) Awaken us Lord.

Month of Love

I should update before Feb. ends...

Basically the first half of this month is to prepare for Love Tent. Really didn't felt that people are as united and fired up to gather and pray for our campus this year. Last year there was so much more unity, and everything went miraculously smooth. Woohoo praise God! This year, didn't get amplify sound approved, didn't get overnight permit, was raining, even cops came by... but still praise God! Talking to Eddie Brown and told him our "hardship", he said, "That's good, it means God trusts you guys more and you can face bigger challenges now!" Amen to that! Because even though all these things happened, Love Tent still happened successfully!! Hallelujah! :D

NEWS FLASH!!!
CSULB is doing Love Tent too!!

My heart is just pulled to do so, which is perfectly normal for lovers of God right? =) I love Jesus and Jesus loves me. I can feel His love 24/7 again, I'm so happy! Feb. has been pretty rad so far...

1. My Deborah took me to a cemetery in the middle of the night, as we were walking there I had complete peace over me. Also, there was a mental hospital right next to it. We went there because I needed to use the restroom, and then we saw some demonic children. A 2 year old girl glared at her, it was pretty creepy. We should go back and cast some demons out next time! Haha!
2. Went to RHOP during Valentine's Day for their night service (the night when they started their 24/7 prayer/worhip chain!) and encountered drinking fire from heaven for the first time!! I could literally feel fire flowing right in front of me and I can just scoop it up w/ my hands and drink it!! Prophetic drawings/sculptures/products are portals of heaven and earth, it can bring healing, encounters of God and touch of Holy Spirit. I felt fire dripping on my hand by just touching a drawing, my friend got healed from her sore throat by doing the same thing!
3. Preached and testified what happened at RHOP to GTM (my cell group at UCR), and we tried it out. It was about 7 or 8 people who came and all of us were touched by the Holy Spirit! I was totally drunk in the Spirit, just by drawing and standing on some pictures others drew! I felt electricity running through my finger tips and it almost felt like I can just play w/ the electricity between my fingers! Ha! Prayed for a girl who's never encountered such manifestation of the Holy Spirit, she touched the drawing as we prayed for her, she felt vibration and electricity shocks on her hands! Her body was heated up too! A guy who has problem dealing w/ fear got delivered and after prayer he's filled w/ peace! Praise God! We all drew pictures and we could find verses that match w/ each picture! Craziness. There were connectiong between all of our spirits and God's Spirit, it was so crazy... We only played worship songs w/ laptop and drew prophetic art, and God brought a Holy explosion in the room! LOL! Sweeet!!
4. Teriyaki Bowl's boss got healed! (I work there, so he's my boss) He said 10 years ago his doctor told him he has cyst in his pancrea (胰臟), and it could grow into cancer cell. He didn't check it within this decade and two weeks ago he started to have sever pain several times a day. It was bad for him because he just canceled his health insurance because he thought he was pretty healthy and wanted to save some bucks. If he were to have surgery it would cost him tens of thousands now. Before he went to get a check-up, I prayed for him and told him to trust God because He loves and He heals! Later in the week I asked him how was the result, he said, "The result from blood test and x-ray showed that my pancrea is completely clean and healthy w/ no problem at all!" C'mon praise God for He is super faithful!!
5. .... MORE TO COME.... "GodSpeak Conference @ UCR" "Love Tent CSULB" "ReCall - Elijah Revolution"... etc. =D

Randy Clark's so full of fire... I love fire.

Let Go!

For a long time... I've always refuse to believe that God can speak through my parents. Maybe it's because I felt that they're not on the same side as I am, the God side. Whatever they suggested or told me to do, I would feel that it's not what God want me to do. My brain just automatically kicks these comments into the trash can. But recently, I've been thinking... God speaks through people, He surely can speak through my parents even though they didn't love Him. I'm guessing I started to think this way because I'm so desperate to know what God wants me to do after graduating from college that I'm willing to listen to anything that's thrown at me. Grrr. Mom's been telling me to go get an auditor license... Humm maybe it's from God... x__X

Today I was DEEPLY TROUBLED. I don't know how else to describe this mixture of feelings. Sigh. Senioritis? I couldn't calm down. Couldn't flatten the hills between my eyebrows caused by frustration and worrisome. GOD I NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU!!! GIMME DIRECTION!!!

Esther! It's No Time to Stay Silent!

During the first week of this quarter, which is also the beginning of 2009. I asked the Lord one night before I sleep, "Lord, which book do you want me to read tonight?" He said, "Esther." I flipped it open and started reading it, and was done in an hour or so. The message to me was, "If you stayed silent when you're placed at the exact time and location to speak, you missed a chance of God using you to bring an impact that could be as huge as saving an entire country! God knows what He's doing and we usually don't so we better listen and obey no matter how silly or dangerous it is."

Monday night of second week, after UCR MGM (yes we have MGM too.) a few leaders were talking about knowing the season and timing of God's move or wave and partnering with Him. They said, "It takes a prophetic voice to open the eyes of others to see the timing and the moment to strike or hold defense at war. It has to be someone who's outside of ministry leadership position who has the availability of time for this."

Then Luke 18 people came on Tuesday night, they basically told me the same message. "Voice in the wilderness" was preached as being a prophetic voice that calls out in the time of confusion and chaos to lead the way and show the path of the Lord.

On Wed. night during my lecture, I saw a vision of me preaching at belltower at night on a stage. So many people were there and I was preaching radically about the urgency of the hour and that there is no more time for us to stay silent and wondering about. You'd think there's still more time to "think about it" or trying to save face. The fact is. There is no more time! The Kingdom is quickly advancing and will soon come. For those who have no oil, the days will be like the most terrible nightmare ever. Imagine your classmates, family, friends, others you know burned by fire, consumed by sickness and diseases, tortured with natural disaster and evil spirits that they wish they're dead than being alive. We should all burn our pride and selfishness into ashes. Will you take the call of being a forerunner of this generation and GO for Him at all costs?

I've been asking God, "What is it that You want me to not stay silent about?" I realized later it's a stupid question. Duh! What else??

I'll be casting this vision to the leaders and also interceed for them as hard as I possibly can. Leading them to evangelize and preach the Good News to the poor, to the homosexual, to the random people walking by, to the classmates, to the professors, to the genitors, to the waitress, to the strangers on the bus...etc. They MUST get the urgency!!!

Ps. Pray for Love Tent UCR. Feb 12-13 8am - 12am. 40hours. Will have meeting w/ different departments again because the school is getting more stricted to give overnight permits. Might turn this into a 40hours TheCall Riverside at the huge baseball park next to school... Just a thought.

Luke 18 Visitation

Tonight Peter Glen and Brian K. from Luke 18 and CCN came to meet with a few of us. They shared w/ us about what's happening in UCLA right now and we shared w/ them about our campus' spiritual status and trend. It was encouraging to see them going to different UCs and mobilize prayer meetings with the central vision of Luke 18. Go to their website if you wanna know more. Brian said, "To have a powerful and effective intercession, you need to not only enjoy God but let Him enjoy you." That was powerful. Peter taught me to seek 3 types of people when looking to build the next leadership team. 1. worship anointing 2. breakthrough anointing 3. prophetic anointing. Also, there's another group who have the passion but not yet discovered their gifts. (Just like me when I first came to UCR). It was a valuable time fellowshiping and praying with these comrades. During prayers for me, these are the words/visions I received from people... I was so encouraged.

Prayer: You are like Esther and Joshua. (Last week I just finished these two books!) You are to fast and pray. It is not the time to stay silent, but let your voice out. You have the courage and faithfulness that God sees, and He is cheering you on because you are not done yet.

Vision 1: A beaming big heart intertwined by eggplants vines in between the earth and heaven with dews from heaven all over the vines. Small eggplants started forming around the big one and their vines were connected. Very soon, many many of them formed and formed a matrix kind of connection web all with the big center heart eggplant. I am the big heart and I'm not content to see these other ones growing so small, and I want them to grow to the fullest like me. So I started feed them nutrition and so all of them grew as big as me.

Vision 2: I'm standing on earth, pulling rope to draw water from heaven down so I can drink it. I didn't get tired of it for I was so thirsty for it and that's all I wanted and craved to have. My arms grew bigger and stronger so I can pull down the water quicker and easier. There were a whole entire field of people waiting to drink the water and I passed the bucket to people and they all drank it.

Vision 3: I'm playing huge drums between heaven and earth. The music created was not an earthly sound and when people heard the drum beat, their ears were opened and their beings were entirely changed.

Vision 4: I'm standing on earth waving at God. God looked down through the galaxy onto earth and saw me waving at Him. I was then swimming in the stream that's flowing between heaven and earth and I started swimming faster and faster. Wherever I swam, God's Spirit was flowing. Something about music, I forgot. God hears my prayers and sees what I'm doing. What I've been doing was not done in vain. He knows.

Amazing... God You always know how to encourage and stirr me up. You made my night. =)

Lord, Break me!

On Sunday night after I got back to Riverside I received a text msg from one of our leaders, Daniel, saying we got a prayer meeting at 11pm. Me and Ruth went and the first word I heard right after I got in the door was somebody shouting "HALLELUJAH!!" I didn't know who it was cause the voice didn't sound familiar, so I looked and found out it was a guy sitting on a wheelchair who shouted it. His name is Alan, he met Daniel at the gym while watching basketball games and he was trying to evangelize to Daniel and his roommate. The reason Alan is on the wheelchair is not because of any injury, but due to infantile paralysis (小兒麻痺) which caused him trouble in speaking, walking and doing other things. When he speaks he would need to use his whole body's strength to get some of the words out, and his face would twitch. But, I was so encouraged by him because he does not see his disability as a blockage towards spreading the good news, praying for others, reaching out to the lost souls or praising God as loud as he could. When Daniel asked him to pray for us to start the meeting off, 90% of his prayer was filled with words of praise and gratitude towards God. He started sharing about the necessity for the body of Christ to be awaken to receive the urgency of the hour to spread the Gospel to anyone we encounter on a daily basis. He asked us, "How many of you are hungry for souls?" There is no more time left because Jesus is coming soon. Too soon as Anthony puts it. I started balling in repentance when we all started praying together for ourselves and others. If a guy like Alan, who doesn't even have the ability to put a jacket on by himself, can have the boldness, obedience, and love to reach out to the lost souls, what the heck am I doing? So encouraged by him.

This morning I woke up and I prayed, "Lord let me get a soul into Your Kingdom today". After class, I walked by a girl sitting on the stairs and I had such a strong conviction to go tell her about the Lord, but I didn't. I was walking pass her and I really wanted to turn around and talk to her but I just walked slower and slower and never turned back. Grrrr.... While I was walking away, Daniel's prayer rang in my head, "The blood for those we didn't preach the good news to are on our hands." When I was driving my roommate to her class, the radio station was playing this song "Empty Me". It's exactly what I needed to pray for and I believe God is trying to tell me a message about it. I went home and prayed the prayer I was so afraid to pray for 2 or 3 years. "Lord, break me so You can reshape me into the vessel You delight."

I used to pray this prayer everyday in Freshmen year, and the Lord was faithful. So many things happened to me I can't even describe all of it in an hour, but I was really broken and He did reshape me in an super amazing way. I don't regret what happened but I was afraid to encounter those things or even worse things. However, now I believe it's time for the Lord to break me once again. I know He is good all the time so I'm ready Lord. Let it come.
