**NEW link for the 9th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign (from February 6 to May 16, 2012).
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: Isaiah 6
Please read Isaiah 6 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 Isaiah 6:
And they were calling to one another:
"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory."
Isaiah 6: 3
What I received from Jesus today is: Into His holiness!
Isaiah 6: 1 - 8 is the official Old Testament passage for the ordination of Anglican priest. When I was ordained as a priest on September 21, 1988, I heard this passage talking to me personally in a very deep way.
This chapter gives us lots important messages about how we need to deal with our own life!
1. Pride: The success of King Uzziah made Isaiah to have a model to follow; the pride of King Uzziah made Isaiah to have a bad example to avoid; the death of King Uzziah made Isaiah to put down his pride and be humble before the Lord to be led into His holiness. (Please read 2 Chronicles 26 for details)
2. Holiness: The holiness of the heavenly realm helped Isaiah to see his filthiness and sins.
3. Cleansed: Cleansed by a live coal from the altar.
4. Sent: Ready and willing to be commissioned.
I just finished a regular rehearsal for Schola Cantorum Emmanuel. Tonight we experienced greatly a similar scene of this chapter through two Anthems. Parry's I was glad led us to experience the greatness of what Psalm 122 describes to enter into the Holy temple in Jerusalem. Bossi's Cantate Domino led us to enter into His holiness just like what Isaiah 6 describes. The mystical glorious presence of God and His holy angels! Wow! You really need to come to Richmond Emmanuel Church to enjoy of annual concert on May 26, 2012 at 7:30p.m.. I have put a link of these two anthems for your listening and hope that you can get a least in some degree what we got in tonight's rehearsal. You really need to listen to them. They are very, very good sacred music! And, these two pieces are two of my best five church music! Three hours after our rehearsal, my heart is still shacking now because of the power of these two pieces!
The more closer to Jesus each day that you can enter into His holiness in a deeper way. The better chance you will know your filthiness and sins to ask for that "coal" to touched your mouth for cleansing. Then you are ready to be commissioned by the Lord for some new ministries to help people to see, repent and be healed!
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to enter into your holiness . In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
