I was thinking over my financial status, and was considering to buy something. That thing is not expensive but yet not cheap to me at the moment. And when I was searching myself and also wanna talk to God over this matter. He suddenly asked me to worship Him and give Him thanks. Though I was wondering why, I did it anyway. When I was worshiping and adoring Him in the secret place, He ask me a question: How valuable are you? When I was going to answer Him, what came into my mind was the world most expensive house "Antilla". I just read about this in internet previous night. It is an awesome residential, which had cost $1 billion. Amazingly expensive and luxurious and grand. A moment later, there is one verse in bible came into my mind:
"Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are." (Matthew 6: 28-29)
And He asked me again: "How much do you worth, My son." And this time I think carefully, and answer Him: my Lord, if the luxurious clothing of King Solomon is not even comparable with the lilies in the field, I guess I am more expensive than the world most expensive house which's worth $1 billion. And He said: Yes! Good answer, not only that. Compare to My children, the "Antilla" house is just a piece of trash in My eyes! Somebody may willing to pay more than $1 billion for the house. But $1 billion can't buy you, you are far more expensive than that. You're so valuable, I would shed my blood and give my life to purchase you.
After God spoken to me, I was touched and faith is rising. And I told God I wanna go and plan my finance to buy the thing I said in the beginning. But He wants me to post the conversation we had, in my blog, I had stopped blogging for long time. So I opened my blog and post it anyway. And when I go and copy and paste the verse matthew 6:28-29, guess what actually the next verse is?
(Matthew 6:30) "And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?" : )
This blog is dedicated to talk about His way that is demonstrated through my life. And it's meant to bring courage and strength to the reader.

Be normal, live normal
Many people have a distorted idea about normal life. They want a life that is free from any responsibilities, any duties, not obliged to anything, just wanna do what they want. And honestly I want that too! But guess who is the christian lived a most normal life in the bible? Yes, of course is Jesus. Many people they thought to live a christian life is to live a sinless life, live up the name of "sainst", as sinless as Jesus. But when God is establishing us to be His holy nation special people, the word "holy" doesn't means sinless, you know? The opposite of holy isn't sin, but is actually "common". Actually God wants us to be uncommon people! It's like when everyone complaining the government, you are speaking good of, and blessing the government; when everyone are under financial situation, you are not under the situation but above; when no body care a person on clutcher walking in the street, but you do because you have a solution; when people say we can live life however you want, but you say we live life in the WAY.
Friends! Everyone may has his or her own version of being normal. But as a believer, if your life are not flowing with signs and miracles perhaps you actually do not believe in the Good News of Jesus (Mark 16:15-18). But if you do believe yet no signs and miracles flowing in your life, probably you are believing in the Good News partially and selectively. And that is very sad, because Jesus had purchased the whole package of the Good News with His life (He died). But out of THOUSANDS of the promises in the Good News you take only ONE! I think Jesus are screaming up there: "Come oooon, I had already redeemed it all back to you! USE IT!!"
Come on, be normal and live normal. Be the freaky people on the earth, live up to "Mark 16:15-18"... And He(Jesus) said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
What shall I liken people who call themselves christian but no signs and miracles flowing in their life? It's as if: you are a guy but you live like a girl, and your life doesn't show that you are a guy!
A group of people were having vacation on Disneyland, they start praying for people there and people got healed!! Hundred souls saved!! Watch also part2-4.
