| RANDOM THOUGHTS
It was once said by a prophet that Korea is the "Israel of Asia" - a chosen nation through whom God would do His mighty work...
My short experience here in Korea enlighted my heart to see that God is seriously doing a mighty move through this nation as we speak.

WHAT PROOF DOES A CHRISTIAN HAVE?
I believe the Holy Spirit is leaving many marks of revival... Beginning with prayer. Jesus told His twelve disciple not to leave Jerusalem until He sends His Spirit upon them... and so they WAITED. In faith they waited for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Once they were just fishermen, tax collectors, outcasts and no bodies in society with a relationship with Jesus, but through the day of Pentacost, they would become the one of most influential people on the face of the earth and even to say for eternity. They became fishermen, tax collectors, outcasts and no bodies in society with a relationship WITH Jesus WITH the capabilities to "set the captives free".
Acts 1:8 speaks of us being witnesses. And witnesses we must become... But we are powerless without WAITING as the disciples did. What was the difference between those disciples who disowned Jesus and ran away, whom i might add had a intimate face to face relationship with Jesus. It was the Holy Spirit.
Without the Holy Spirit - the third God head - unified and equal as one to the Father and the Son, we are powerless to fight this Spiritual War that has been battling against God and His Kingdom. Our battles are not against flesh and blood but against the principalities and authorities of darkness which sets itself up as the flesh but representing so much more.
---God is pouring our His Holy Spirit in the last days, and equipping EVERYONE who's available. It is written,
28 "And afterward,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions.
29 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
God is pouring His Spirit as we speak... People in our churches are beginning to see visions, dreams and prophesying in the name of Jesus, because we are living in the last days.
They are laying hands on the sick and they are being healed in Jesus name.
They are rebuking evil Spirits in Jesus name.
The captives are being set free.
---A NEW THING...
It was written by Jeremiah (43:18-19)
18 "Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the desert
and streams in the wasteland
God is moving... calling His people to forget the former things, leave the lives of the past. He is telling us that we are a "new creation" and the old has gone. So why shall we dwell on the past? Why should we live on yesterday's anointing? Why should we live on yesterday's revelations? Why should we live on yesterday's blessings?
God is doing a new thing in ALL the Christians around the world. "Do you not perceive it?" says the Lord...
"I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."
Our families, churches, workplaces, schools, cities, states, and nations who represent very much a spiritual desert - are being touched by streams of living water. Living water that Jesus promised that would eternally quench our thirsts.
The revival we very much have been speaking of and has been a topic for, for time and a half has finally been proclaimed... REVIVAL IS COMING AND IS NOW HERE!
5 "Look at the nations and watch—
and be utterly amazed.
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told. (Habakkuk 1:5)
---SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE??
1. The act of apology of the Australia Government towards the Aborigines.
- Recognising and repenting the sins of "our" ancestors - regardless of whether we think we "directly" commited this sins or not.
- To me it seems like a massive SPIRITUAL MARKER for Australia.
- Could this be ONE of MANY major step towards a nationwide revival?
...God lead us to repentence by your kindness, and heal this land (2 Chron 7:14)
2. Korea - "Gate of Exalted Ceremonies"
(SMH - 11/02/08)
South Koreans were still in shock today after an overnight fire destroyed a 610-year-old wooden gate and the country's main national treasure.
Namdaemun, or "Great South Gate", collapsed after a five-hour battle by firefighters to save the monument.
"It's devastating, the pride of the nation has collapsed," Kim Cheol-su, 55, told the Yonhap News Agency.
"It's so bad this kind of thing happened on the first week day of the Lunar New Year."
- I don't know the history of Namdaemun that much but i remember learning that the gates and walls of a nation always signified security and "pride". It was one of a few entry points and exit points. It meant "we are safe from our enemies" and we are protected - whether in the belief of their gods or God. When God brought judgment upon a nation e.g. Israel, the walls of the city came down.
- Not to suggest God is bringing judgment, but I'm thinking that there is some sort of Spiritual signficance??
- Would it be a far fetch to think that when a significant land mark (made by men) which symbolises so much to a nation is destroyed or established - represents something spiritually?
...God rebuild the GATES OF SEOUL! May it's gates be a gateway to Your Kingdom. That whoever enters this city will "taste and see that the Lord is good..." and whoever exits, exits as a Soldier ready to do battle for Your Kingdom.

| "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body; I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me."
======================================================================
(Something i found on the net)
*Self consciousness died and Christ consciousness came alive. I was restored to the original experience of the Garden of Eden, before man fell from union consciousness to self consciousness.
**In receiving a new spirit, I went from a dead spirit -- one cut off from Christ -- to a live spirit -- one reunited with Christ. I went from separation to union, from self’s strength to divine flow.
***I no longer ask God to help “me” become better, because that prayer betrays a still resident belief that “I” am separate from Him, and thus shows that I am still living “self conscious” rather than “Christ conscious.” Instead I simply ask Jesus to do the job through me -- demonstrating that through revelation knowledge I have moved back to union consciousness, and I now see myself as the “Christ I” acting.
****My spirit was reconnected to the Holy Spirit Who is working out my soul’s salvation, for it is Christ at work in me, healing my shattered heart, restoring my soul and healing my body (Phil. 2:12,13).
He doesn’t want to give me strength; He wants to BE my strength.
He doesn’t want to give me wisdom; He wants to BE my wisdom.
He doesn’t want to give me love; He wants to BE my love
