DAY 412 - 12 Days of Fasting/ Day 2: The Church Must Protect


Praise the Lord that we have completed 400 days/24 hours Prayer Campaign! Without this prayer shield I think I might not be able to face the storm of Michelle's leukemia. You really need to believe in this kind of power of prayers! You really need to join us! This is how the Lord commanded me more than a year ago to teach as many people as I can to pray as never before and to experience the power of prayers! Have you experienced yet?

Please sign up for the 5th stage - 500 days

Today's Reading: Numbers 35
Please read Numbers 35 and listen to what the Lord Jesus Christ would like to tell you before reading my Spiritual Journal below. If you would like to learn a simple and good way of Daily Devotion method please read my “Count Down 5” from this blog. You may click this link directly for the method: Subject Shifting Devotion.pdf. (You may begin with a song to praise the Lord and complete you devotion by singing another praise song.)

Please click the links below to Numbers 35:
"The assembly must protect the one accused of murder from the avenger of blood and send him back to the city of refuge to which he fled." Numbers 35:25

What I received from Jesus today out of those very complicated and apparently 'not relevant rules' to this modern world is very simple: The church must protect those people from the avengers.

Does our church really give protection to our people or do we allow people to be humiliated, bullied and trashed? How can we demonstrate some more protection in a practical sense?

I am fasting dinner today and hope that you can join me in the coming 11 days either to fast lunch or dinner to pray for our coming Regional Conference and Annual General Meeting of ACiC/AI. Pray for our speakers: Bishop Chuck Murphy, Bishop Silas, Canon Mike Murphy, Archdeacon H Miller, Canon Allen Huges and Mr. Andy Piercy. Please that we can have more people to participate and that we can create a "Fire Up" and "Rise Up" momentum for all 16 churches of ACiC/AI.

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help me to understand and demonstrate protection of others under your command. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Welcome! The purpose of this blog is to encourage Christians to have daily devotion - a wonderful and intimate time with Jesus.

There are three reasons for you to use this blog as your daily devotion:
  1. A healthy spiritual diet - One chapter of the Bible daily. We really need at least one chapter of Bible daily so that we are well fed.
  2. A good example of Spiritual Journaling - What I have committed for 1,189 days(the Bible has 1,189 chapters) to write this daily post is not for teaching purposes but this is my daily spiritual journal - I write down what I hear from Jesus and how I experience His intimate relationship with me each day. I have launched a wide-spectrum research on daily devotion and have found out that there are less than 10% of Christians that are having daily devotion. Out of that 10%, many having daily devotion are doing so because of guilt (they know that they are Christians and need to have daily devotion and feel guilty if they don’t do that), duty (they need to fulfill their duty as a Christian) or study(lots of Christians primarily use their daily devotion as a time to study the Bible). I do pray and hope that you will make up your mind to have a relational daily devotion so that you can have an intimate time with Jesus. I pray that you will write your own spiritual journal as well.
  3. An online discipler – One of the reasons that so many Christians do not have daily devotion is because they do not have a discipler. A discipler can help them build up this basic element of discipleship when they first become Christians. The best way for you is to have a discipler to walk with you for a certain period of time so that daily devotion become a good habit. Or, you may have a small group of two to three people to encourage and be accountable to each other so that you won’t stop your daily devotion. I offer myself as your online discipler to walk with you daily to enrich your spiritual journey. So, shall we start this journey with Jesus Christ our Lord now!
