What if His people prayed.

Hey everyone this is Joanc!
I always forget to put my name after each post so I shall put it now before I forget.
Btw, always leave your name k. Haha. Unless you wish to remain anon, cos, like, if you do say something that blesses someone, I'm sure the someone would like to thank you personally and since everyone would love to be appreciated at some time or another, you would too, so yes, please leave your name! (:

Anyway. I just did some praying and waiting on God? Yup, which I haven't been doing in a while..... And. I was just planning for tomorrow's CCH prayer meeting, and the one on Tue. And I realise I need 3 days to meet up w you CCH people to, properly, sell you the vision that Isaac has sold to me heh heh. Is it a vision? Not really actually. I think a challenge la. An exciting one :D

I'm really excited. I mean, I still do feel that all the fear in me is kinda limiting my level of excitement, but I'm gna break out of it.
"Perfect love casts out all fear"

I shouldn't have to be afraid of anything at all 'cause God's fighting on my side, so yes, I will keep praying (:
I just want to share what I'm currently feeling, I hope it'll somewhat inspire/bless/encourage you. If I can do this, I know you can, too (:

I want to be a woman of faith. (Or girl la. woman sounds so old).

I want to be a girl of faith. Strong strong strong faith. I want to be mad, crazy, really insane, just for Jesus. I want back the power of God in my life. And when I get it, I'm not letting go. I no longer want to be that fire that has gone out. I want God to be my oxygen, I want COMPLETE COMBUSTION! (woah woah chemistry)
Yes, I want to experience God every. single. day., wherever I go whatever I do, in toilet etc ANYWHERE AT ALL,
I
WANT
TO
FEEL
JESUS.

And more than just feeling Him, I want to love Him with all my heart, all my soul, all the time. I want to be willing to die just for Him. I want to be loyal to Jesus. I don't want to drift away ever again, I don't want to let anything else stop me from getting to Jesus.

Jeremy, usher leader shared before:
When you open a door, you don't have to kick it and handle it roughly like trying to break it etc to open it. All you have to do is simply turn the knob.
Same goes for opening Jesus' door. Just put your hand over the doorknob, turn it gently.
That's all it takes.

Bottomline is, I want a lot of Jesus in my life.

Over the course of the past months as I drifted away and many issues that I had to deal with appeared in my face, God revealed many many many things to me. All the questions I had, I didn't know who to ask. Only God could answer.
And on Sat, the words that Bob Sorge spoke were from God.
Every thing he said came right at me, slapped me in the face. All the questions I had, all the confusion and all the doubts, all the internal struggles w my own emotions, etc etc etc, e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g was answered.
And I started to understand many many things.
Esp during cell. During worship, I began to see so many things. It was like. Ultimate breakthrough.
Although I know I still have to put in effort to do my QT and spend time w God if I want a closer walk w Him. Which I'm working on. so anyway,

Yes.
I think this is the start of a new season. Which involves my revived dream for CCH (:
I thought I'd never get out of that bad patch. Like the so-called season of stagnancy? For so many months.
But whoo, thank God, I'm out! :D
I was beginning to lose hope in everything. Actualy not beginning to, I already had. My life was like, woah. So hopeless and meaningless without God's power. You know? It's not exactly an empty feeling, nor is it really very lonely or whatsoever. It's not a very sharp pain kinda feeling but it's like..... a subtle one but yet one that... you just know your life is so dim. I've never felt that way before. And it's miserable man haha. I relied on many things that weren't Christian (not saying I became very un-christian-ly, just didn't use holy moley means) to make myself feel better each time. But of course, short-lived results. I knew only God could satisfy me, but yet I just found it so hard to come back.

Last week was the worst.
It's not PMS I know it, LOL. It's just the peak of my bad season. I never felt so miserable + let down + all the other horrible vegetable feelings all at once before.
It's like one morning I woke up and checked my phone and like I just felt really fed up and hurt and all that. I was kicking in my bed like some grumpy kid. And yeah every night I'd get so emo I couldn't stand myself.

So today Bob Sorge preached about Enduring Faith.
And I was thinking a few weeks back that....... In the last few years of my walk w God I always managed to be strong enough to want to endure through it all, but this time, this season, it's just so. I don't know, like I just gave up? Why? I felt like a loser. LOL. That time la.

Well now. I decided and I've resolved that I want to endure anything that comes my way now on. Won't avoid issues, won't try to escape from them all, gna be strong cos I'm empowered by God, amen!


Perfect love casts out all fear
Perfect love casts out all fear
Perfect love casts out all fear
Ditto x 10000000....

Yes.
And Central Two, CCH people,
"We will run, altogether our hearts aflame, with a fire that can't be tamed, our God, all glory to Your name"

I want my heart to be on fire, aflame. That no one at all can put out. Esp not Satan.

I've got a song for you all.
What if His people prayed - Casting crowns.

Go read the lyrics.


What if the armies of the Lord
Picked up and dusted off their swords
Vowed to set the captive free
And not let satan have one more

What if the Church,
for heaven's sake
Finally stepped up to the plate
Took a stand upon God's promise
And stormed hell's rusty gates

Chorus I:
What if His people prayed
And those who bear His name
Would humbly seek His faith, yeah
And turn from their old ways

And what would happen if we prayed
For those raised up to lead the way
Then maybe kids in school could pray
And unborn children see light of day

What if the life that we pursue
Came from a hunger for the truth
What if the family turned to Jesus
Stopped asking Oprah what to do

Chorus I:
What if His people prayed
And those who bear His name
Would humbly seek His face yeah
And turn from their own way

Chorus II:
He said that He would hear
His promise has been made
He'll answer loud and clear, yeah
If only we would pray

Bridge:
If My people call by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
If My people call by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray

Choruses:
What if His people prayed
And those who bear His name
Would humbly seek His face, yeah
And turn from their old ways

He said that He would hear
His promise has been made
He'll answer loud and clear yeaah
If only we would pray

What if His people prayed? The title of the song. Well, if we pray,
God will answer loud and clear.
God will stick by His promise.

Everyone,
Don't let satan have one more.
It's time to pray. (:

Now, I understand what it means, to want to pray like never before.
To be so hungry, so desperate to see revival.

Love you C2 (:
