I'm taking Intercessory Prayer Disciple Training(IPDT*) from church.
It's 3rd week, and we prayed for our church and for the each parts of the church.
And in the day of 2nd and 3rd week of IPDT, I was having stomach trouble. 2nd week I threw up twice, and I prayed that God to heal me continuously for 30 min. and He did. Today(actually yesterday 02-25-10) I had headache. I think it's from lack of sleep, but that headache got me a stomach trouble. I don't know why, but when I have a headache I can't digest very well. I see this as attack of devil, trying to fall down from the training, but I declare in the name of Jesus: "In the name of Jesus, be gone the devil who makes me sick in order to get me fall away from the training. Be gone!" I believe Jesus will deliver me. Also, I didn't do my QT even though I had enough time for it. I went to Office hour and tried to configure so that I could use one of GUI in Linux, and I wasted so much on that, so I couldn't do my QT. I already meditated about this, and I failed again by putting the world in front of Jesus. I confess that this is sin to Jesus. Lord, I will not change by myself and will continuously go back to the same sin: loving the world. Please Lord, hold on to me and change me by the blood of Jesus Christ. God, oh God save my soul. Without the Cross, I would be dead in front of You, but I thank you that blood of the Lamb saved my soul. This world won't be anything at the end of the day, and will be just a dust. I hold on to You Lord, since You made me to hold on to You. I praise Your mercy and grace. Let the blood of Jesus Christ go thru me and fill my cup, so that it overflows to other people to have this peace and love that no world can give.
*IPDT is not really what it called, it's just for sake of easiness of writing it.

The Life
God. Me. Sin. Division. Death. Jesus. Love. Cross. Blood. Cleanse. Revive. Way. Believe. Faith. Struggle. Spirit. Entrust. Holy. Heaven. God
Sleeping late everyday...
It's been a while since I posted how I'm livng.
I went to Wednesday worship, and today there was missionary couple, and they are from China. They are preaching Gospel to Hui(pronounced Hwee) people in China. I heard many things they do, and how they are eager to build first Hui people's church. Although since Hui people are deeply into Muslim, and family and community pressure make Hui people reluctant to accept the Bible, this missionary couple kept trying to win one soul. They just do one step at a time to convert people to Jesus Christ by praying and serving with love.
I'm living in community, the United States, that doesn't persecute for openly preaching gospel, for reading Bible, for going to church; however, I'm still afraid of the people's reaction over the love of God. This is sin, and I must obey God and give out myself to Him, so that He may use me as His tool to save the souls and spread this good news. I can't do this by myself with wicked, lazy heart, but Jesus is in me, and He is possible and He will do as His will. Amen =)

[Scrap] True Repentence
This is from Pastor John MacArthur's article.
=====================================================
John MacArthur 목사님의 article 에서 발췌한 내용입니다.
내 안에 진정한 회개가 있는지, 확인하게 되네요..
Repentance is not merely behavior reform. But because true repentance involves a change of heart and purpose, it inevitably results in a change of behavior…
Like faith, repentance has intellectual, emotional, and volitional ramifications…
Intellectual element of repentance: “a change of view, a recognition of sin as involving personal guilt, defilement, and helplessness.”
Emotional element of repentance: “a change of feeling, manifesting itself in sorrow for sin committed against a holy God.”
Volitional element of repentance: “ a change of purpose, an inward turning away from sin, and a disposition to seek pardon and cleansing.”
Each of those three elements is deficient apart from the others. Repentance is a response of the total person; therefore some speak of it as total surrender.
…..
It is true that sorrow from sin is not repentance. Judas felt remorse, but he didn’t repent (Matt 27:3). Repentance is not just a resolve to do better; everyone who has ever made New Year’s resolutions knows how easily human determination can be broken. Repentance certainly is not penance, an activity performed to try to atone for one’s own sins.
But neither is repentance a solely intellectual issue. Surely even Judas changed his mind; what he didn’t do was turn from his sin and throw himself on the Lord for mercy. Repentance is not just a change of mind; it is a change of heart. It is a spiritual turning, a total about-face. Repentance in the context of new birth means turning from sin to the Savior. It is an inward response, not external activity, but its fruit will be evident in the true believer’s behavior (Luke 3:8).
It has often been said that repentance and faith are two sides of the same coin. That coin is called conversion. Repentance turns from sin to Christ, and faith embraces Him as the only hope of salvation and righteousness. Faith and repentance are distinct concepts, but they cannot occur independently of each other… Genuine repentance is always the flip side of faith; and true faith accompanies repentance.
What repentance calls for is not only a "change of mind" but a turning away from the love of sin.

내 주인은 오직 예수님
"내 주인은 오직 예수님
다른 이름은 없네
나의 갈 길은 오직 십자가
다른 길은 없네
주의 십자가와 함께 죽고
주와 함께 다시 산
난, 나의 십자가 지고
주님을 따라가리
다른 곳 돌아보지 않고
난, 십자가의 길을 가리."
오직 십자가만이 나의 자랑, 나의 고백.
오직 주의 보혈만이 나의 자랑, 나의 고백.
다른 이름은 없네
