Seed Planted

Let me share a quick testimony... I just had dinner w/ one of my coworkers, who's not devoted in any religion right now. As I drove to meet up with her, I prayed to God to speak through me to touch her heart tonight. As we were eating, suddenly I had the urge to ask her, "how's your dad doing?" She then told me 20 yrs ago her dad had a stroke and that caused the entire right side of his body to be paralyzed. He hasn't been able to work ever since, but its gotten better, he's able to hold things with his right hand and able to walk with right leg now. I told her about how much Jesus loves her and cares about her, that He would put that question in me to show her His love. Even though she told me she's happy the way she is right now, not devoted in any religion, I strongly feel that a seed has planted deep in her heart. Praise God for the prophetic! Lord, she is yours, we claim her salvation in Your hands! Amen!

JOY

"JOY" the music album from IHOPU, was so awesome!! Everyone needs to get one!

I listened to the entire album twice yesterday. One time going to work and the other time coming back home. As soon as the first song started, the JOY of the Lord started to fill the car. I started to smile, giggle, laugh, laugh w/ tears in the car, by myself!! You probably think I'm a maniac, but that was AWESOME!!!! I haven't been filled by the joy/holy laughters of God for a long while and I missed it so much!!! Thank you Jesus I want more!!

The joy didn't just bring me inner joy and makes me laugh like a psycho. It brought me to tears and I could feel the Lord starting the inner healing and deliverance inside of me. A few people know what I'm going through right now and what I'm struggling through. I was really frustrated and felt totally chained down and poisoned. But yesterday... two times of JOY (double anointing of joy)... the Lord totally transformed my emotion and my heart was relieved. As I'm typing how the Lord has begin to set me free, I'm being filled by the Holy Ghost... more Lord!!

"Whom the son sets free is free indeed!" - John 8:36

Thank you Jesus! I am Yours!! Set me free!!! Hallelujah!!!!!!

2011 Prayer

New year, new beginning, new template, new vision, new hope, new season...

Dear Lord, for 2010, I thank You for Your faithfulness, provision and unfailing love. For 2011, I pray for my parents to really know You, love You and get baptized. I pray for You to continue to mold me, shape me, break me, restore me, use me, guide me. I want to be hungrier and thirstier for You, Your Words, and be obedient to walk it out by faith. I pray for all the sheep You placed in my care that You will stir up a flame of passion and desire for You in their hearts, that no water can quench. Draw them closer to Your heart and never let them go. Transform their minds every single day to be more like You. Build their faith up and shape their characters. Lead them not into temptation but let them glorify You in all they do and say. In 2011, Lord, let more breakthroughs come in each and every one of their lives, including mine. Thank You Jesus, for I know You are faithful and You've heard my prayer. Help us to be completely committed, obedient and faithful to You, our spiritual leaders and also our parents. I also pray we will bring more people into Your Kingdom, make disciples out of them and see to it they bear much fruits, in Jesus' Name I pray, amen.

Get your engine started hot and running shoes ready.

Let's start and finish the race for 2011 strong!! 3... 2... 1... GO!!!!

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.
