Today woke up at 6am. so tired. i slept at 3am! =_= saw By2 for the third time today, same old song they sang, haha. But it was still good. after that went guitar lessons, picked up a few stuff :D
Hmm read the Purpose-Driven Life book. Its a very intriguing book. i read the first chapter at least 5 times in the morning. We are created BY God, and FOR God! Our purpose in life is not to fufil our dreams,desires, but the ultimate purpose is to fufil God's purpose for you :D I'm so determined to serve God now, Hallelujah!

Today's Spectacular event was spectacular! It was good. The message was impacting, i loved it. By2 came, the 16-year-old twins, they sang two songs for us. They looked the same, but i thought the one with the pony tail was cuter, haha! Then Pastor Zhuang shared that by2 is in New Life Church, and it is a really great church. They are very creative, and i think their way of reaching out is awesome. The church also have many taiwanese celebs, like Cai Qin, Liu Gen Hong, etc. And pastor oso said Jay Chou had been attending church too! Wow xD
And when we praised and worship God, He touched me again. We were singing amazing grace, and it really reminded me of His amazing grace. Images of the things God had done for me flashed past my mind like a 10x speed fast forward. I was so deeply touched and tears really flowed. I felt so glad, that His grace was upon me. Without his merciful and amazing grace, i wouldn't be here. If God din't care, i'm still a lost soul wondering around the world. But our merciful God's grace flowed like a flood upon us, and that's why we're here. Praise the Lord!
My fire now, is really bursting! My earthly habits are getting lesser and lesser. Evangelism have taken steps, big steps! The presence of God, i can really feel it now. I know when He's here! Oh God Oh God, your amazing grace means alot to me.
It was His grace,
that saved a wretch like me.

Really, i found out what things i can do, and what things i cannot do.
The things i can do, are things that i do in faith, i pray and do it with the peace of God, and i will do it with excellence.
The things i cannot do, and i always fail in doing, are things i do with my own strength, i did not pray and do it with the peace of God, and i failed doing it from the very start.
Faith, is not something you need to cultivate for years. It is something of a split second, it really depends on how fearful or prideful are you.You will have faith if u do not fear. It is always from faith to faith, and it will grow as ur fear diminish. I feel so blessed, that i was in such darkness in the past, because of that i cherished light when i see it. It is so blissful to bathe in light, savouring the flavour of His glory. Because of faith i came to Christ. i still rmb, since day 1 in church, the very first step of faith to be baptized in the Holy Spirit was so life-changing.
I had just started Poly life around April, and i met my dear classmate Timothy. He was born a Christian, 18 years now. We had the same CCA and same elective modules, so we often talked alot. God really used him to talk to me. He talked to me about Jesus Christ, whom i nvr really knew who He was. Everytime Tim talked about Christ, i will feel a peace. It was then the interest to know God sparked.
My old pri sch fri Jazz was in a church, so i asked him whether i could tag along. This was how i got into City Harvest Church. The first time i went i met Bryan,Qing Sheng, Stuart and Yee Hao. They were very friendly. Praise and woships songs kept on and on, and before i knew it, i was touched by God, tears flowed down, and i nearly burst into a big cry. But i withdrew. At the very end, i responded to the call. i din't know what i was doing, it was my first day in church, but i wasn't afraid, i wasn't thinking what will happen after that, i just did it.Stuart prayed for me and i was baptized and from that day onwards my life changed.
My first cell group was at Stuart's house. I met many people, they talked to me and it was good. I still remember, Stuart prophesized over me, and it was accurate. God has revealed to him that i had a broken family, and i had resentment towards my mum, and i was a well, really hungry for His words and water. Then everyone prayed in tongues. Though i din't know really understand what tongues are about, i got excited everytime i hear tongues. I wanted it so much. And Stuart prayed with me and i prayed really hard for the gift of tongues. And there it came, my first CG meeting, i received my gift of tongues.
Things got really going and i did so many things i've nvr done b4. There was this time the phrase "Only if you are broken, God can really show His Glory upon you" came to my ears. I was so inspired by it. I prayed and prayed for myself to be broken in front of my friends, to show them God's glory. Not long after my prayers was answered. Really right in front of all my friends, a whole soccer team, i had hyperventilation and it was the scariest moment of my life, serious. At that moment i dint know what was happening, i just know i couldn't breathe properly, and i tot i was goin to heaven at the age of 17. In my heart i was prayin really hard, 'God, please save me. If you are God, save me!'. It was then, God's presence came down upon me. It was really a thrilling experience. I felt so much peace, my hyper attack was gone, i breathe normally like nvr b4, then i broke down and cried like a baby, as i am to God. I prayed in tongues in front of everyone, all non-christians, i dint care. I wanted to thank God and praise him for answering all my prayers. After i stopped, the attack came again, so i went hospital for a checkup. It was later i found out that hyperventilation wasnt fatal, but it really seemed i was dying, even to the others. You will be pressured, but you wont be squashed. It was a true turning point for me, from that day onwards this testimony was so great to me. But i believe, more great things will come my way.
Now i experienced my first fasting,first revelation,first prophesy. But there's still so many things to go. God is so vast and wide, we can nvr get enuff of him. But with faith, we can achieve many things. Look, just because of that very first step of faith i made, my life changed.
Now, what about u?
My God is limitless,
He is the beginning and the end.
His mercy flows like a flood,
and He sent His son to shed blood.
For us sinners,
to repent and be a winner.
Sing with me how great is our God,
and all shall see how great is our God.

Whoa i just blogged but im back again =]
Just suddenly felt like sharing how God has really changed me, from what i was to what i am.
Old Leslie :
A guy with low self-esteem, no confidence. Since kindergarten i got into fights, and i still remember i hit the poor little boy cause he din't share the toy with me, haha. Pri 2, punched a guy in the stomach for owing me a $1 that we betted on. Pri 5, Fought with a guy twice the size as me and got " grappled " and thrown into the air ( Lol the only fight i lost ). Sec 2, fought with my classmate. Sec 4, got into a canteen 1 vs 2 fight and got myself "famous" =_=.
Also, when i was Sec 3, got into a r/s but broken up. was sad. and flirted with girls. hurt girls. and did all sorts of funny stuff.
P6 PSLE got 229. but since secondary sch my results went downhill. cause of childish thinkings of "rewardless efforts", thinking that even i work so hard my parents oso nvr reward me.
Got indulged into MapleStory, the stupidiest thing i EVER DONE. Spent 2k SINGAPORE DOLLARS on that game. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
With the low confidence, nvr got into leadership stuff, had poor relationship with others, dunno how to communicate, loves to look at girls, loves to fight, loves to steal, loves to act guai in front of teachers and get into fights, and the fault goes to the other party. Man what a guy i was. Lol.
Present Leslie :
LOVES GOD.
more confidence, more self-esteem, able to communicate better, loves ppl around him, no longer getting into fights. WONT ever hurt girls anymore. WONT get into fights any more. WONT steal anymore. WONT PLAY MAPLESTORY ANYMORE. WONT slack in studies anymore.
Got a distinction in Semester 1 Group Project. Was the leader. First time in my life i had been a leader. Got 3.44 Gpa for sem 1.
Learnt what to do in life now. I will serve God all my life no matter what happens. I've been able to talk more to ppl in church, and i learnt how to open up and do things in faith, always believing there's someone to help me.
People, love God your Lord, no matter whatever happens.
Please, say hallelujah if you think God has really changed me.
Hallelujah =]
p.s if you think i was only this bad last time, you are so wrong. =X

I'm back from a prayer meeting at riverwalk. It was great. Everyone prayed for each others and God's presence was upon us. Then hanged out awhile with CG and came back.
Just now, Bryan told me that he prophesized for me and i think he really has the gift for it. He saw a green pasture, and there was a cat, and slowly it turned into a deliveryman. He felt that God has showed him that I'm now responsible for delivering God into my family, and i have to really pray for it. And Bryan also reminded me that God wants me to pray and always imagine my family in church with me, as it is done in heaven. I really thank Bryan for spending his time to really pray for me and it really blessed me alot. Thanks Bryan!
Bryan is now fasting 21 days without food, and today is his 5th day. He still looks strong, and i feel the Holy Spirit in him really glowing. Ganbate Bryan-san!
Well today is my 24th day of my fast 6am-6pm. I really thank God for the blessings and protection He gave me. =] I will do my best to get rid of my earthly habits, and nuture heavenly ones. I WILL!
Have faith brothers & sisters,
for the just & righteous live by faith.

Wow it's been a month since i last blogged. Exams,church and laziness caused that =P But now i'm back! But first i would like to thank God and tell you guys wad God has done in my life =]
1st Sep 2008 : It was the start of the month, but i felt a burden to fast 40 days, for my CG,friends,and for myself. And now i see results! And when i write this its my 17th day of fasting. Not even half of it but yet the blessings has come. =D Thank God, i will continue consecrating myself.
10 Sep 2008: I was at Riverwalk for a prayer meeting, supposed to be with Yah Lan, but Valarie took over cause YahLan was sick. But God blessed me through Valarie greatly. My 1st revelation from God came. I was praying for a vision and revelation on how i can serve God. It was when i felt led to open the bible, and the first verse i saw was Ezekiel 2:1. It says, ' And He said to me, "son of man, stand on your feet, and i will speak to you.". I din't understand , but the Holy Spirit was quick to tell me what God has meant. God is trying to tell me that i was still on the fallen side, im still clinging on to my bad habits and still earthly-minded. I have to start doing everything heavenly-minded. It is then God will speak to me. After that, valarie asked us to pray for each other and prophesy. That was my first time prophesying, and on Yee Hao. He said it was accurate, and i thank God for that xD
12 Sep 2008: Best birthday EVER. I normally don't celebrate birthdays, but this year God gave me a birthday suprise haha. The CG gave me a MANGA BIBLE ( that's some cool stuff ), a bdae card (thx clarice), a super duper sweet cake , and a magic trick. But of cause the thing i cherish most is their love for me =] Hmm 18 years on earth, finally this year, my sis gave me a birthday present, wow. haha. 18th bdae, BEST.
