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

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.”

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."

The Word, Time with Abba (Psalm 80:8-19; 2 Chronicles 29:1-36; Romans 14:1-23; Proverbs 20:12)

My Listening

The topic I received from Jesus is: "In Captivity? How to get out?"

Today during our 6am Time with Abba, the prayer group that I was leading had seven men and we all had a powerful experience of confessing the sins of our foolishness to be in captivity by this world and Satan's cunning traps!

Then we found out the way to get out of captivity is in today's all four passages:

1. Psalm 80:8-19: Our willingness to invite God to clear the "ground"(our lives) and to "transplant" us from our "Egypt" to plant in His Promise Land, to take root and fill His Land. To be willing to follow those servants of God to revive us and restore us.

But, due to our sins we blame God for breaking down our "walls" and let our enemies to attack and destroy us, not knowing that it is us who walk away from God so that we walk into our self-destruction!

2. 2 Chronicles 29:1-36: We need to purify, consecrate ourselves and our church and to go back to a lifestyle of worship, praise, pray(burn incense) and make offerings so that God will bless and anoint us. The most important is that we cannot be negligent anymore and change right away before it is too late.

3. Romans 14:1-23: If we can have that kind of revival that we won't sit on God's throne again to be a judge, always judging other people to make ourselves, our family, our church and everywhere a "mess"!

4. Proverbs 20:12: If we can have ears to hear and eyes to see to live out today's warning and teaching, we can get out of our captivity!

Today I especially think of a TV series of the '70s and the name of that TV series is "In Captivity". So, if you are Chinese and can listen to Chinese song you are welcome to click this link to the theme song of that "In Captivity" to remind you how wicked and weak we are as human beings!

Without the Holy Spirit to shine His light on us we are unable to see our own sins. Without the blood of Jesus to cleanse us we are unable to turn back to the Lordship of Jesus and worship Jesus Christ as our Lord and King!

Please get out of your prison, anxiety, depression, captivity, "don't be negligent now"!

Do it quickly!(2 Chronicles 29:36)

Let the Lord to "reestablished" your church and your live! ( 2 Chronicles 29: 35)

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help us to get out of captivity and free us into your Kingdom enjoying your protection, provision and anointing each day. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
