...at the seashore...

A few days ago, I went to a meeting of ESC Team at the evening... I still didn't know the rundown of that meeting... Actually, I felt tired to attend that meeting, but I felt I had to go... beside that, I wanted to meet my friends in that team.. especially some of my best friends whom I didn't see for long time (a few months I think).

We talked about to hear what God wanted to say for our ministries this year. We had to have and to do what He wants, not just as a program. We needed to have prayer more than before for the revival in every camp. I confirmed with the sharing from the leader of Education Dept.

For along the sharing, I could see how good was my GOD... I'd been on those experiences before.

When the sharing's ended... we had prayer... when I closed my eyes, I saw Jesus directly on a vision. He was sitting on the rock at the seashore... He's robed in white...talking and smiling with me beside Him. He said that He so loved me.. I saw the sea and asked Him, "Father, should I go sailing to that wide sea?" and Jesus said that I should go sailing... He pointed to a boat near the seashore... He said that I should sail on that boat.. the small boat...

When I saw it, I just could think and think... how come?? and suddenly He said something to me, "Vi..don't be afraid, you will cross the sea with Me... I'll take you to have new experiences of journey... to a new place, too... I'm with you... I'm with you..."

How I couldn't hold the tears falling down that evening when I heard what God said to me... It's a new revelation for my life. He said that He was proud with my faithfulness to keep His promises in my heart, though I couldn't have an assurance for 1 thing I'd got since a few years ago.

He said that the time would come for me to harvest what i'd sowed. And I had to keep and walk by faith in Him. Just be still, He said.

Oh yes, I have had another vision before... it's in November 2010.. I saw that I was walking on a small path near the seashore...there's a trijunction and I should take and choose one of two ways... but Jesus said it's up to me what way I wanted to choose... left side or right side... because I would find the same ending point. You know, friends? The answer is right that I've arrived at the same seashore that God wanted me to stop to talk with Him before the Great Sailing.

Now, I still do not know how about the next journeys.. but 1 thing I know that God is with me... near by my side... to keep me safe on my great journeys of life.

Thanks Father... it's just what I can say...

Friends, how about your life? Still confuse at the trijunction to choose your way?

Let's come to Him... and hear what He wants you to choose.

He's with you all. so don't be afraid!!!

Year to Year with Hillsong Live Album

I just want to share about my experiences related with Hillsong Live Album on this posting.

2010 - A Beautiful Exchange

God gave me great experience in Dec 2010 when I was sick... it's painful. But I could feel how more painful Jesus when He was crucified.. and how The Father felt deep pain in His heart when saw Jesus, His Son was crucified. 



2009 - Faith + Hope + Love

New and Great Experience God had prepared for me since the end of 2008. He taught me about Faith. He spoke to me on Jan 8th, 2009 to have new dimension of faith. In March, the great war came... my mother got a cancer... but I saw God's hand upon me and my fam. Hope and Love were mixed together with others experiences in that year.

2008 - This is Our God

God revealed His Self in this year. I had new experiences in my ministry in another city where I had been there before with my leader in Education Dept.. but that year I had to be the leader... Learned to be a leader where made me full depending on God. I felt He guided me to speak, to think, to act. God reminded me about a vision that I got a year before when I was praying and fasting. It's about a big house which I had to rebuild. I felt that it was the church that I ministered. Great year for me and something brought me came back to that city at the end of that year... a statement that I said to God..."I don't wanna be easy come and easy go".

2007 - The Saviour King

This was the year where God gave me a vision through a leader in a camp of praying and fasting. It's about 3 cards. I asked God the meaning. In the morning of the second day of that camp, God showed me the middle card. It's King Card. He said the meaning that He's not just a Saviour for my life, but He's The King Who Reigns all of my parts of life.

And the other 2 cards, He opened when I was in the city of heroes...Surabaya. Both cards were Jacks ( "J" Card)... God said that He's Jesus Who always by my sides, on my right and on my left... He's Emmanuel... God's with us.

2006 - Mighty to Save

He showed His Mighty in everything I did... New Experiences in ministry I had. That year I felt that was so hard to achieve my dream. Because 1 of my best friend was released to go to a city where she had a burden to serve. I thought I had done all kind of ways to share and to achieve my dream in Education. But, God saved me from the wrong way I almost chose. And now, I can thank God for what I am right now. Bigger capacities than I've ever thought. And great presents I got in that year... ticket of Hillsong United Concert in Jakarta (Tennis Indoor-Senayan) and a return ticket to Singapore.

2005 - God He Reigns

God taught me to surrender and offer all of my hopes, dreams and goal setting... I got a big struggle in that year. Many changes happened in my job, ministries and family. I saw His greatness that I might have a grace to build my house with my aunt, though we could by getting the money from bank loans. It wasn't easy, but God made all things enough. He Reigns.

2004 - For All You've Done

The year of revival in my life, my financial, and revival for one of my leader... where we could have a better relation and life changing. God answered my prayers, my struggle. For He has done many things in my life through teaching me to have a good and right responses in facing every challenge.

2003 - H O P E

Where many changes happened, many new things I had to learn. And He's still the HOPE of my life to pass all things. Conflict of characters is a part of my school of life. And God always help me to win it. It happened in 2003 where there're new systems built in my office. 2 special things happened, in January where I could minister Korean people for almost 1 week and in October, I got an opportunity to go to Bali to attend Women's Conference, 10/40 Window Conference and 1 year Memoriam of Bali Bomb. Great!!! I met Darlene and Hills' team in Bali.

Oh yes, this album was the first VCD I bought. I love it so much.

Psalms 84

Blessed are those who dwell in Your House,

they are ever praising You

Blessed are those whose strength is in You,

whose hearts are set on our God

We will go from strength to strength,

until we see You face to face...

2002 - B L E S S E D

Great challenges in my fam.. with my brother and my mom.. but I could pass it.

A challenge in my ministry, too.. where He taught me to have a humble heart.. I am nothing, He's something.

The year where I found my clearer destiny / vision when I sought Him.

I felt so blessed to have experiences with Him in that year. Made me become stronger and stronger woman.

Those are some of my experiences with God which related and blessed by Hillsong Live Album. Actually there are still some of albums that I couldn't tell them right now. They have blessed and given me many inspiration to pass every journey of my life.

2000 - For This Cause

1999 - By Your Side

God Bless and always be with you all.

Emmanuel.

My Review of 2010

This is new year. We've just on the 8th day of  2011. Many experiences I have passed in 2010, and of course have new goals for 2011. I learned many things in 2010... Love...Obedience and Trusting God...and How to express Love through Giving. It wasn't easy... but all brought goodness in my life.

Love... I learned how to forgive and how to give. Loving isn't just about feelings, but it talks about DECISION. How to love others like God has loved us first. Maybe it's very easy to speak about it, but when I experienced it, I needed much grace to do it. But... the other side, God taught me to:

Obey and Trust in HIM... Great Year to find... God taught me to full obey and trust Him. Learned to release all of my feeling, hope and love. But I did it freely and could find happiness in my heart after I did it. I just thought that I wanted to obey God, I didn't care what would people think about myself. I felt a brave heart to do it. God spoke to me that I just had a business with Him and He's with my heart. I learned to trust and entrust my life to His Hand. Till the next level came to me in the mid of the year... it's the level of:

GIVING... I learned to obey what God wanted from me. He asked what I hadn't got yet to offer to Him as a sacrifice. It's about money. I got a bonus from office, and He asked me before I got it, He asked me to bless Education Project in Bali. It's amazing thing, and I loved it so much to do it. Beside that, many experiences about giving that He taught me. Lovely...Great...Beautiful...

Those are my experiences in 2010. Three big things that I learned.

How about you?

Let's live our lives with God. It will be more beautiful. 

Blessings.
