21 May 08 - Though hope is frail,it's hard to kill

Today's session is really God's rhema for me. (Rhema[Gk-ρημα)]:prophetic spoken word,direct words of God to the individual) Our journey is on Jesus' Ministry now...teaching & proclaiming and healing & curing. Indeed, we really have to 'be careful' in our prayers for miracles..cos the 'price' of miracle is usually the Great Commission. I'm not saying it's a trade transaction, but you'll be so in awe of how great God is that you cant help proclaiming His Glory.

It's Father's style to end session with a song and reflection prayer..and this is the moment which touches me..The song "When you believe"..I reflected on my journey so far.. It's amazing how I could actually be in depression (cos I'm quite a strong-headed person), how I enjoy His blessings and guidance in this 'scary' cross-over, how I am 'miraculously' healed, and even how I am actually sharing the Word and encourage others to read the Word (I could not see myself sharing His Word with any friend at all, cos my spiritual discipline was rather weak)..this song also brought me back to the ancient days when Moses faced the dead-end, yet nothing is impossible to God - He parted the Red Sea..Yes, many of us, including myself, can only imagine it as cartoon, or frictional story. But the fact is THE BIBLE IS BASED ON TRUE ACCOUNTS! It's hard and impossible for me to imagine, but that's how God works.. How awesome, right?

Matt 17:20 "..if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you" Such a simple request - simply believe and have faith in God. Yet, in science, there's a study on mind power and positive energy. That must be SUPER GREAT mind power to part the sea, in order for the whole tribe to cross! If so, in my opinion, we should keep Moses' brain to study instead of Einstein.

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we knew we could

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proved in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
And now I am standing here
Now I'm standing here
With heart so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles
When you believe (When you believe)
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill (It's hard to kill)
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve)
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

Ashira l'adonai ki gaoh ga-ah
Ashira l'adonai ki gaoh ga-ah
Mi chamocha baelim adonai
Mi kamocha nedar bakodesh

Nachita v'chas-d'cha am zu ga-alta
Nachita v'chas-d'cha am zu ga-alta
Ashira ashira ashira

Ashira l'adonai ki gaoh ga-ah
Ashira l'adonai ki gaoh ga-ah
Mi chamocha baelim adonai
Mi kamocha nedar bakodesh

Nachita v'chas-d'cha am zu ga-alta
Nachita v'chas-d'cha am zu ga-alta
Ashira ashira ashira

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill

It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve

You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
Now you will

You will when you believe
