Please click this link to read Romans 7:

But I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. Romans 7: 23

So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin. Romans 7: 25

What I heard from Jesus today is: Let Jesus to lord you!

So many people even Christians are prisoners of sin. Lots of time we just cannot get out of some bad habits or sins. We confess and then we commit again, then we confess and we commit again and is like an unending story of our life. This situation make lots of people discouraged and do not want to make effort to change any more.

Paul gave us a key word to think of - slave. We are either slave to God's law or slave to the law of sin. Have you thought about that before? We want to be God, we want to be the Boss but in fact we are not God or can not be the Boss! Do you want to be a slave to God or a slave to sin?
You call Jesus as Lord and what kind of Lord is that is He can't lord you? We are being lord by so many things like: money, power, lust, fame, TV, computer ... Is Jesus Christ our Lord just a polite title for you to call Him or is it a real relationship between Jesus and you?

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to follow you as our King, our Lord and our Savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Today's Reading: Romans 6

Please read Romans 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 you may click this link directly for the method:Subject Shifting Devotion.pdf.


Please click this link to worship with us - Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)


Please click this link to read Romans 6:
What I heard from Jesus today is: Who reign? Jesus or Sin?

Lots of people are living a life not thinking of they are having a mortal body. Lots of time we are being controlled by all kinds of evil desires! Admit that to our Lord Jesus Christ now and repent for that! Lots of time we are blind to our sins thinking that we are OK or may be every spiritual. We need to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal our darkness because we as a human having this mortal body are not able to see our darkness inside.

How to know that you are free from those evil desires? Just ask yourself one question: Who reign? Jesus or Sin? Do you have those lifestyle of Christlikeness to prove that Jesus is the One who reign in you?

Let's use a very effective tool to check your spiritual health. It's Neil Cole's LTG(Life Transformation Groups) Character Conversation Questions:
1. Have you been a testimony this week to the greatness of Jesus Christ with both your words and actions?
2. Have you been exposed to sexually alluring material or allowed your mind to entertain inappropriate sexual thoughts about another this week?
3. Have you lacked integrity in your financial dealings or coveted something that does not belong to you?
4. Have you been honoring, understanding and generous in your important relationships this week?
5. Have you damaged another person by your words, either behind their back or face to face?
6. Have you given in to an addictive behavior this past week?
7. Have you continued to remain angry toward another?
8. Have you secretly wished for another's misfortune?
9. Did you have your daily devotion and hear from God? What are you going to do about it?
10. Have you been completely honest to answer these questions?

Dear Lord Jesus,
You are my King, come and reign my life . In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Please click this link to read Romans 5:

And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5: 2- 5

What I heard from Jesus today is: Rejoice in our sufferings!

Jesus opened my eyes to see how a coach trains an athlete to run a race. It is always a time of suffering to go through harsh and tough training. But when the trainee is willing to listen and follow his coach's instruction and prepares well. Then there is nothing can compare with when he stands in front of hundreds or thousands of people receiving the gold medal.

Is that the same way God trains us through hardship and sufferings to be a faithful disciple of Him for His own glory. Only if you are willing to be under those kind of severe training that you can taste the sweetness of the gold medal given by our Lord in His time!


Dear Lord Jesus,
Help me to rejoice in all kinds of hardship and sufferings and know that you are the best coach . In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Please click this link to read Romans 4:
What I heard from Jesus today is: You are exhausted, why not let God?

Jesus told me today that some of you reading my blog today are very exhausted because you have been trying you best to use all kinds of ways to solve your problem. And you are now almost at the edge of "burn out". Jesus asks you now, "Why not let me do it for you? Why you have to insist on doing on your own? Do you understand that you are just a human being? Do you understand only I have the power to do everything I want to do?"

Pray now for yourself if that is you or pray for those whom you know that they are in such kind of condition. Pray that they can let go and let God!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Remind me always that I can do nothing without you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Please click this link to read Romans 3:


"There is no one righteous, not even one;
there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.
All have turned away, they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good, not even one...
There is no fear of God before their eyes." Romans 3: 10 - 18

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3: 23-24


What I heard from Jesus today is: What's your problem?

Do you know what is the problem as a human being? Paul tells us very clear through this chapter is that there is no fear of God for all people on earth.

We fear lots of things like: no money, no health, ghost, darkness, cancer, death, boss, losing our job, marriage breakdown, children grow up and leave home... I can write more. But, do you fear God? Do you know the centre of Old Testament time was to teach people to fear God so that they didn't fear anything? Do you know the centre of New Testament is to know that God loves us that He gave His only begotten Son to save us so that we can return to God? When we return to God as our God and Father we understand and know to "fear God" so that we do not fear anything? You do not need to fear anything if you fear God!

Our problem is we fear all kinds of things but do not fear God!

Dear Holy Spirit,
Convict us of our sins and help us to repent that we can change inwardly to be a true Christian. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Today's Reading: Romans 2

Please click this link to worship with us - Draw Me Close to You


Please click this link to read Romans 2:


A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man's praise is not from men, but from God.
Romans 2: 28-29


What I heard from Jesus today is: How to tell whether you are a Christian?

There is no way to tell whether you are a Christian because it is not something outward but something inward. Just like how Paul explained the use of circumcision is not a sign on human body but of the heart. From Romans 1: 18 - 32 is about the sins of the gentiles and chapter 2 is talking about the Jews were the same as the gentiles for they were also in sin. They liked to judge other people, and they were full of stubbornness, unrepentant hearts, self-seeking, reject the truth, follow evil, did all those sins that they told others not to commit.

What does your inside look like? Are you a true Christian?


Dear Holy Spirit,
Convict us of our sins and help us to repent that we can change inwardly to be a true Christian. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

DAY 119 - Impart or Depart?

Today's Reading: Romans 1

Please click this link to read Romans 1:


I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong - that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.
Romans 1: 11


What I heard from Jesus today is: Impart or depart?

Paul wanted to impart to the leaders in Rome some spiritual gift to make them strong. The way to impart spiritual gift is usually by the laying on of hands. I learn the important of the laying on of hands almost twenty years ago and I always ask quite a number of God's servants to lay hands on me that I may be filled by the Holy Spirit and that they could impart some spiritual gift to me. And I have been richly blessed by this kind of blessings.

Paul shows how the gentiles were deep in sin from Romans 1: 18 - 32 and the "dirty" list of how muddy a life can become. When we "depart" with a daily intimate personal relationship with Jesus then there is a great chance that we will fall into that kind of "muddy" lifestyle. Let's examine our lives whether we are being caught in some of those wickedness. Let's do this examination using a wonderful translation from the Message:

28-32Since they didn't bother to acknowledge God, God quit bothering them and let them run loose. And then all hell broke loose: rampant evil, grabbing and grasping, vicious backstabbing. They made life hell on earth with their envy, wanton killing, bickering, and cheating. Look at them: mean-spirited, venomous, fork-tongued God-bashers. Bullies, swaggerers, insufferable windbags! They keep inventing new ways of wrecking lives. They ditch their parents when they get in the way. Stupid, slimy, cruel, cold-blooded. And it's not as if they don't know better. They know perfectly well they're spitting in God's face. And they don't care—worse, they hand out prizes to those who do the worst things best!


Dear Holy Spirit,
Convict us if we have that kind of lifestyle according to that list. Come and fill us that we can break the power of sin because of you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
