Wow wat an awesome time of worship with the team from City Life Church from Melbourne Australia.
We are blessed to have them to usher the presence of the holy spirit in Maranatha!
Today we leart that, WE do not receive God, by doing good things doing good deeds in our lives... we will still have the emptiness in our hearts... but we should allow God to approach us... open the door to him to fill in the space of our hearts... Amen???
Bro in Christ,
DannyBoy!
p.s Missing u guys overseas !!!

Thoughts of my morning... over cookies and rasberry tea!!
ARGH!! early mornings on a friday is soo not cool!! Especially if u do not have class on Fridays... i mean... GOSH!!! u know when u have free days... where there is no lectures and tutes..... guess what! ... u got Assignments, proposals, meetings, Computer Graphics assignments that fills up ur free time!
After worship practice in church yesterday nite. i have been thinking over my thoughts sf taking a break from worship team... as i have been running against time since the last month plus, lacking time for all of my commitments...and embarrassing to say... its pretty obvious when i couldn’t get the timings right...didn’t have time to work on the killer solo to goreng for Saturday and Sunday’s worship sessions… it does show that I have been lacking practice… I felt that as a member of the worship team I did not do my obligations to find time ... everyday has been me running against hands of time.
Its not just worship team that I have been neglecting to make time for my priority as a scholar: focus on education…
I guess I have to persevere through this time…
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. Hebrews 10:36
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. James 1:12

Journey's Beginning
[3na]
Hi everyone! *beams*
Yes, the idea is that a few of us will start posting here every now and again in addition to our personal blogs. WHY? Simply because this is our cell blog and it takes a unified initiative (plus a loving kick up the bum from me) to get things rolling here. I thought it'd be really neat if cell members shared their thoughts corporately here on this site from across the world. Wherever you are, share your experiences, your thoughts, and your testimonies so that we can all be encouraged as we run this race together.
I guess I should start then hey? :)
The last couple of months God has really taken me on a journey. What kind of journey, you may ask. Well, a journey of growth. Simple as that. Jesus has always been knocking at the door of my heart, and I've always been really stubborn about letting Him in. And you know what? Jesus is such a gentleman. He won't ever barge into your life unless you specifically open the door and ask Him to come in.
At the time, I desired in my heart to walk with God, but things in my life weren't changing - I was stuck in a rutt. And just like a scientific experiment I knew that if I wanted different results, I had to do things differently. I've learnt, that when you take the difficult first step, God takes many many steps towards you in return. The ball is always in our court. What choice will we make? How will we respond in this circumstance? I knew that my decision would determine whether I would go to that next level with God. And so I made a choice. I decided I wanted things in my life to change. I wanted a deeper relationship with my God. I wanted to know Him intimately.
I've actually been a christian all my life, but quite frankly, it feels like I was born again only a few months ago. I think that's the worst thing about 2nd generation christians. We get so comfortable leading an ordinary "christian" life - riding on the coat tails of our parents' salvation, and not really experiencing for ourselves the power that's found in Christ. What's the point of learning the logos word of God (the plain text in your bible) if it doesn't get applied to our lives and become the rhema word (the revealed word that has power). Lasting change only comes when there's a revelation in your heart; when the lightbulb comes on; when your eyes get opened. And that's what happened to me. That was the beginning of my journey :)
Since then, God's been doing tremendous things in me and through me and I can't wait to share more about my walk in later posts.
As far as first impressions go, I hope that was okay for my first time posting here! I really wanted to be open and to just share my heart with the rest of you. Hopefully this is a palatable introduction to whatever else I post here in the future :)
Luv ya all

Holy Spirit rain..... down!
Heya!
Hows every1??
cell was awesome last nite despite only Emmanuel, Kerry and myself!
Cell did not start as normal haha! Remember the drumset in Campus town?? We decided to make use of what God gave to us to use and we had our little trio worship team in Campus town!!!!!
We Rock'ed! Jumped Around ! and also Worship the Lord!!!!
it was awesome .. and quoting Emmanuel on how awesome it was, "The presence of the Lord is here... and the whole place will be filled with God's people!" ... is that a prophecy?? LOL ! when he said "whole Place" i figured..... Campus Town filled with people worshiping the Lord!! its not a cell anymore, its a a GT Friday Nite service!!!
After worship, we had word and the holy spirit's presence was so strong that we had an intense 1.5 hrs prayer for bringing our friends in our college, our oikos, to know more about Jesus!
