Ephesians 2:10 (LB)

¹⁰ It is God himself who has made us what we are and given us new lives from Christ Jesus; and long ages ago he planned that we should spend these lives in helping others.

Psalm 139:1-8 (NLT)

¹ O Lord, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
² You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
³ You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
⁴ You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, Lord.
⁵ You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!

⁷ I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
⁸ If I go up to heaven, you are there;
if I go down to the grave, you are there.

Hewbrews 6:10 (NIV)

¹⁰ God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

[2008.05.18] (동영배) Dong Yong Bae's Birthday Prayer

[Tuesday, May 18th, 2010]

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this time of prayer. A time where I can praise and talk with You. As You know, today is dong Young Bae's birthday today (or whenever he receives this.) I pray You continue to bless him with many more years to come.

I praise You and am truly grateful that I heard of "Wedding Dress" in December of 2009 and discovered the rest of BIG BANG in February 2010. Since then I've researched and discovered as much as I could about their history and journey as a group. You are the same God yesterday and forever so I know You have and always will be watching over BIG BANG.

I lift up to You my brother in Christ, Young Bae. I know he's hard working and has many desires in his heart. I pray You grant what's according to Your Will and in Your Time. I know the world stage is attainable and I can't wait for that day to come. His upcoming album is to be released in the near future. Only You truly know and understand his passion for music and this career You have so graciously given him.

I pray for him as an individual/a whole person. Comfort him during the lows of life and I know he'll praise You during the high/great moments. May he always glorify You with his life testimony. I hope he continually seeks after You and grows in Your love daily.

I ask for your forgiveness of any sins so this prayer reaches You. Thank You for impressing Young Bae in my heart so I can glorify You by praying for him, GDYB, BIG BANG, and the entire YG family.

We are unworthy of You, God, but now words can describe the joy and thankfulness that Your Song, Jesus Christ, makes us worthy. Continue to move and display Your Greatness in our lives. We love You and lift this up to You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. AMEN.

Kingdom Love

Have you ever noticed that when God gives us a directive, the first thing that comes is fear? This is because the directive or mandate He is giving us is bigger than we, our knowledge bank, our previous experience, our vision and the current capacity of our hearts. It's bigger than anything we know at that moment.

Indeed, we serve a very big God who has very big plans.

2 Corinthians 9:8 (NIV)

⁸And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

When God Calls a Woman

The God who calls us equips us. My mind understood this truth but the rest of me struggled with fear.

...

called "by the will of God." That means that ministry is not something you and I choose. God does the choosing.

...

the peace-giving key to being in ministry is knowing you were called there by God.

...

The important thing is not how you were called but that you were called. This person not only has God's favor but His promised presence and provision. Trusting that God will make up for what you lack is the second step to putting fear to rest.

...

God wants you to be certain of His plan and purpose for your life.
