Wee ~ my blog boleh buka! xD
Well, I thought of writing about prayer meeting I finally get to go on Tuesday! :D I have been wanting to go for several times but I kept forgetting to tell PenangGuy. But this time I did told him. I actually totally forgot about it that day until he messaged telling me the time he's coming to pick me up. Then only it dawned on me that it's that evening! Rushed for bath and so on, and I went.
The experience didn't disappoint my anticipation. It was an awesome experience. I like how informal it was, that pastor came up close and personal with us and we just prayed and prayed. God's presence was strongly there. The Holy Spirit came and it felt like the breath of water to a fish as we prayed and prayed. It was a totally awesome experience. Seriously, it felt like our insides are recharged again. Will surely go to the next one! :D
I think a lot of other religions don't understand prayer in Christian terms. Perhaps because Christianity is not a religion but a relationship with God. We pray, we talk to God. We praise Him, we get our relationship right with Him (thru repentance and confession of sins) and we just tell Him about our lives, happy and sad times like a friend to friend, or child to father. We don't recite prayers, we don't chant. We talk from the heart. And God listens.
And about reading the bible, we don't recite the bible. We read and understand and listen to the Holy Spirit guiding us an teaching us as He reveals to us truths that He wants us to learn. Sometimes we do read out loud and we do have reasons for that. We don't read for the sake of reading. We believe that reading out loud helps us to hear it with our ears too and our spirit man (not a spirit that we keep but our spirit within us) to hear it and builds us up inside.
So yeah, I guess that has been in my mind lately.
And I remembered a post I wrote some time before. So I guess I'll put it up here. I intended to post up in facebook posts. Cos things happened there caused me to write that.

It's nothing funny that when someone is angry, most of them don't give a care about what they say and do will cause what kind of effects. It's damaging. What you say especially cannot be taken back, cannot be erased from memory.
Thus God told us, "In anger, do not sin." - I'm learning too.
And to think something someone blurt out in anger at me is that my posts are able to "psycho people". It sort of mean that my posts has a psychological effect. Which I will take as a compliment :)
Another friend finally went to my posts and read and say that I am the "devoted" Christian. Yes I am and I love God very much.
I went and took a look at my posts and I do admit, yes, I have been writing al these things. Some of them, I just copy paste from devotionals. Nowadays I don't have time to write that much also. Plus the line is awful lately.
If posts about God and His values are able to "psycho people", then you yourself felt the power of His word, the power of the Truth. That's why I will conclude that the reason we don't get to study elements of Christianity in our philosophy of education and also Tamadun Islam dan Tamadun Asia where practically almost all religions are touched EXCEPT for Christianity is because it has such an effect that they don't dare to put in the syllabus to protect their umat from being swayed. If not, then why don't they put it in since they study all about Islam, Buddha and Hindu and all the other cults?
If my posts has any wrongs, point it out if you want to. I always have back-up for the things I wrote and I can explain and show you the facts. And if you know me, I don't write nonsense as I am generally a serious person. I write things that are practical, rational and understandable (perhaps some are not for the non-Christians). If Christians, you read and you do not agree, point it out, back your arguments with scriptures.
Nowadays I think I would liked to study law. :) You cannot win me by petty arguments that doesn't make sense and is not backed by evidence. If you just do not understand, it's either you yourself do not want to accept it or you have a different perspective caused by various reasons I shall not elaborate here. But if you want me to, it would take a long, long, long, long time.
And I shall say here, I have freedom of speech too. Whatever I write here, if you don't like it , it's none of your business especially when I write something that doesn't concern you especially when I'm just posting things from Christianity. So far I don't write posts that deliberately go against people. If I did, I would have deleted them after a short period of time and I can take the criticism for it. But if it is about me writing about God and stuff, if you don't like it, close the window and just walk away.
And sometimes I wish God will sew up all the mouths of gossipers. Someday God will. In due time. And I don't care also. If my conviction is clear, I know I did nothing wrong, my line with God is clear and it doesn't bother me.
And if you read this and think that this sounds proud, I'm sorry to say that it's your mentality. I'm just saying what I want to say without pretence, very direct, very clear.
If anything I wrote cause any piercings to your heart, is similar to real life people or real life circumstances, it's just coincidence and is not intentional.
