The easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week. What you need to do is very simple. Choose one dayThe easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week then prayerfully remembering the ministry of ACiC(ACiC has two Networks: ACiC, Anglican Coalition in Canada and AI, Asian Initiative). You may use the whole hour in prayer or you can still do you work in your office but use as much time as you can to pray and the other time work prayerfully that hour to pray for our ministry. I deeply believe that this is a way to draw as many participation as we can in prayers. I encourage you to participate. We need you to join us! Trust in the power of prayers!


Today's Reading: Psalm 143

Please read Psalm 143 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.)

因著信 Because of Faith


Please click the links below to Psalm 143:
The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground;
he makes me dwell in darkness like those long dead.
So my spirit grows faint within me;
my heart within me is dismayed.

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.

Psalm 143: 3-4, 8



What I received from Jesus today is: Save those long dead!

We are call to save those long dead, aren't we? Of course you need to be those who belong to the long dead first.

Who are the long dead? Those who dwell in darkness(v.3), burn out(v.4), always feel dismay.

How can we save those long dead? Well, first of all, we cannot but God can. The steps are:
1. Help them to remember how they experienced God if they had those experiences. (v. 5) That's why we need to have our spiritual journal so that we won't remember or Satan cannot erase those precious moment from our memories.

2. Help them to have a soul thirsts for God (v. 6) especially in daily devotion(v. 8) and to learn how to listen and obey (v. 8).

3. Help them to trust the Lord's guidance and provision that they can be brought out of trouble and their enemies will be silenced and destroyed. (vv. 9-12)

Hope the steps in this chapter can give you some inspiration of how to save some people from darkness and that you can hear His call now for you to start this meaningful "soul saving" ministry!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to know that it is you who call us to start this meaningful "soul saving" ministry. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
