Silence
1. Put on your “brakes” and stop for a moment of silence
2. Wait for God. Breathe deep for God's peace and feel His presence. Exhale your worries.
Praise and Thanksgiving
1. Think through your day, all the times that made you smile
2. Thank God for all those moments, and for all those people
"Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sin to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gift to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."
Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method http://bishopsilas.blogspot.ca/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html)
1. Pray for the Holy Spirit to work in you:
“Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
“Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
2. Through the Holy Spirit, examine yourself for a short silence and then pray:
"Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sin to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gift to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

My Listening
The message I got today from our Lord Jesus Christ is extremely important:
The theme I receive today is an invitation from our Lord Jesus Christ to wake up very early, even before dawn to be with the Lord and praise Him.
Actually that's how the Lord calls many Christians on earth since the Early Church to wake up early in the morning to go to the church to worship Him.
f
And, Richmond Emmanuel Church is one of those churches to live in this Christlike lifestyle since two years and four months ago, daily! For the past two years and four months, I went every morning. Those days I did not appear are the days when I was not in Vancouver. There were only three days I could not join our brothers and sisters at 6am. Two days I was sick and one day I was too exhausted. I find that this may be the only way and the best way for Michelle and me to be with Jesus and to be with each other. We really need a group of people to encourage each other so that we do not get lazy and miss the golden opportunity to offer our first fruit to our Lord daily!
What I received today to have confirmation is the words I already wrote in my journey that you can see above of that four photos.
1. Psalm 57: 7-11
Great and faithfulness reaching to the heavens. Wow! High up, His greatness and faithfulness app us up!!!
If we are steadfast and wake up in the morning to praise Him and sing, sin, sing of His greatness!
2. Joshua 23: 6-26
The seven deadly sins and other sins pour down from Satan are immense and powerful, you are not able to resist those temptations.
That's why you need Jesus to drive them out.
That's why you need to wake up early in the morning to come to praise God and sing to Him so that He can pull you out fro the mud and traps Satan planted tailor-made for you.
When you keep on disobeying God and go back to those sins, one day God will not be there pulling you out and you will fall into those traps and not be able to receive the "rewards" God wants to give you but to "stuck", depressed and perish!
Awake, my soul!
Awake the dawn and come to praise the Lord!
"Awake, my soul! Awaken the dawn and come to praise the Lord!"

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to wake up early in the morning to be with you and sign praises to you, worshipping you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. What is you main difficulties of now willing to get up early to be with the Lord and sing praises to Him?
2. How can you make up your mind to try 40 days as your first step to have a spiritual revival and a new relationship with the Lord?
3. What have you received from Jesus today?
