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! :)

Austen Javelin Lee

[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!!
