**NEW link for the 13th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign (from March 15 to June 22, 2013)

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 1,200 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 1,200 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

     Today's passage gives us the worst situation of a human life. Jesus being betrayed by his apostle Judas, then denied by another apostle Peter, then being bullied, mocked and beaten. Can you think of any situation worse that this?

     How would you feel if you experience this kind of suffering? Do you think you can get over with this kind of darkness? 

     N.T. Wright says:
     Peter's weakness, the guards' bullying, the court's perversion of justice; all this and much more put Jesus on the cross.  It wasn't just a theological transaction; it was real sin, real human folly and rebellion, the dehumanized humanity that has lost its way and spat in God's face. 'They said many other scandalous things to him'; yes, and we've all done so.  As Luke leads our eyes to the foot of the cross he means us to feel not just sorrow and pity, but shame.

     Do you feel shame? 

      
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 "Gabriel's Oboe"



Spiritual Journal

     What I heard from Jesus today is: What if the worst happen?

     Today Jesus gives us a conditional situation. What if the worst happen to you? What if those sufferings happen to you someday, would you still believe Jesus is your Savior, King and Lord of life?

     What if your most trusted friend betray you? What if your wife die? What if your husband has another woman? What if you have cancer? What if ...

     Do you still have that daily intimate personal relationship with Jesus? 

     Let's have this question turned right side up. If you do not have a daily intimate personal relationship with God as Jesus did, you do not have a chance to get away with the reign of darkness. You would be swallowed by the power of darkness!

     Jesus says, "I am the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."    John 8:12


Dear Lord Jesus,
When the darkness comes, lead us to be with you that we will be lighted up by you because you are the light of the world.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
