**NEW link for the 11th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign(from August 25 to December 03, 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 to pray for me, my family and my ministry, 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. This campaign is also to teach you that you need somebody to pray for you daily. I have been prayed for hourly the past 1,100 days and I have never experienced this kind of peace and protection before. It's just beyond words can express. If I did not listen and obey to Jesus call 1,100 days ago to start this prayer movement, I think I would be pulled into darkness and discouragement already! 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!

Bible Study
This chapter begins with a quick healing of the
man with leprosy, then the big faith of the centurion of a distance healing,
then many healing and driving out many demons, then the calming of the storm.
Then N.T. Wright says: the wild sea turns into a human being, with the wind and
waves inside them.
What does that tells us? It tells us that Jesus
is Lord. He is Lord over everything, over the physical world and the
non-physical world. It tells us that with Jesus we can get through the winds
and storms in our lives and to win over Satan when he wants to control us with
everything he has got and that we are only being controlled by Jesus. He is our
Lord and we have on other lord in our lives.
Don't think you can win over Satan. You can't,
only Jesus! That's why you need to have a daily intimate personal relationship
with Jesus!
Let's have a time to be still and give
the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage of scripture we have just
read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to
"Chariots of Fire"

What I heard from Jesus today is: You have no way
to win over Satan, only Jesus!
What I got today from Jesus is to remind us that
we cannot under estimate the power of Satan. There are so many ways for Satan
to control someone, being possessed by demons is perhaps one of the most severe
cases. I have quite a number of experience to drive out demons that you can
never think of until you really see it. Why? Because you must think that
I am too exaggerated. When I say that you must think that you want me to tell
you what happened. What's the big deal? The point is not how powerful Satan is
that he can lift up someone from a chair or someone from a kneeling position
flying to three feet away or someone suddenly become as soft as a snake
crawling swiftly from a chair to the floor or what ever. So what? Those scene
may scare you and give you bad dreams if you see it. The big deal is Jesus is
Lord. Only Jesus can win over Satan at those moments. Sometimes Jesus will tell
you to fast before you do anything, sometimes Jesus will tell you that you do
not need to do anything. My point is you need Jesus to be with you each day
that you will never be controlled by Satan and that Jesus can work through you
to drive out demons if you are ready. My point is you need Jesus each day, you
need to have a daily intimate personal relationship with Jesus each day that
you enjoy a blessed life of Christlikeness and that Jesus can work through your
obedience that other people can also enjoy a blessed life of Christlikeness.
Jesus is Lord! Remember, Jesus is Lord!
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to know to have you as our Lord is the
only way to win over Satan. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
