Hi Wee Foan,

I was praying for you one day on my way to work and i started praying in tongues. It had been some time since I prayed in tongues. I was burdened for the situation you are facing... but God is faithful all the time. I prayed for quite some time and I believe that God has heard all our prayers and intercession.

I began to give thanks to God and the burden in my heart started to lighten. We were all taught to persist in prayer and to never give up because of His great love toward us.

Our Lord is a jealous God and He invites us to have an exclusive relationship with Him. Would you come away and spend some time with Him?

Time of Refreshing
Here in Your Presence
No greater blessing
Than being with You
My soul is restored
My mind is renewed
There is no greater joy Lord
Than being with You

Agape

Tuesday, 26th August - Song of Praise & Worship!

Tuesday, 26th August after visiting Michelle in hospital.
Was on my way home, driving and thinking about Michelle and the things that happened.
So shocking and unbelievable......
Gently, this song just arose from within...........

In His time, in His time.
He makes all things beautiful in His time.
Lord please show me everyday.
As You're teaching me your ways.
That You'll do just what You say.
In Your Time.

The word 'beautiful' just dawned on me.
How to see beauty in this situation?
But the songs goes on to proclaim,
that God makes ALL things BEAUTIFUL in HIS TIME.

After this song, the 2nd song that arose was,

We are together again!
Just praising the Lord.
We are together again in one accord.
Something good is going to happen.
Something good is in store.
We are together again.
Just praising the Lord!

This song talks about - togetherness, praising the Lord,
being in one accord & something good going to happen.

Dear beloved brothers and sisters,

All of us have gone away from each other.
Many are worshipping in different churches.
Some in their home, some in their room...heheh
Wherever we are, we all share the same fellowship.
Some left because of circumstances.
Some because of differences in our thoughts, our theories, our whatever..
Some because of the dryness of our walk with God.
Some because of disappointment with God, with people (Oh! please don't stone me for saying that)
Whatever it is, does it really matter on the differences?
We have one common denominator!
We are One in the body of Christ.
One in the bond of His love
We have joined our spirits with the spirit of God.
We are one!

We can't understand the happenings but let's press on in one accord!
Praising the Lord for the good that is going to happen.
Faith is never easy but we stand in His faith, not ours.

When we are weak, He is strong in us!
Whatever happens, let's believe all things will eventually work out for the good
of those who love Him.

Blessed Sunday.

Testimony by Ching Soong

I am ching soong. My father was 76 and had cancer of lymph node in 2004. Doctor said it's quite hopeless - stage 3. I told him about Church of our Saviour prayer room. My dad refused to go until he found out that there is no more chemo or other medical treatment workable for him. He finally looked to God. He was then healed by the grace of God. He is still alive and well today at age 80. God has a purpose for each of us. Though my dad backslided the very next day he accepted Christ at the church, Christ was merciful and faithful to heal him and continue to keep him healthy and safe. God is gracious. Though you feel you drift too far but the Father waits expectantly for the prodigal child to return and RUNS to hug His child. Luke 15:11-24

Saturday - Sms from Michelle requesting for prayer

The fever is backed because of the medication inside the lung, trying to seal up the walls of the lungs and chest causing the inflammation. This will cause fever, pain and breathlessness. Since 2 days ago, doctor stop giving antibiotic as they want to see my reaction to this. Let's pray for no gastric, good appettite to build antibodies to fight. Next Monday, going to remove the lump in the right breast and gland under the right armpit to test if they are cancerous. Let's pray that it is not.

Refuge

Visted Michelle on Friday night.

Found out from her earlier that a lump was seen in the mammogram (right side). Heard from Ada that there were three more found in the lymph nodes in her right armpit. Unlike the right lung where the confirmation of cancer cells was through the large amount of fluid drawn out (fluid was found in her lung which is why she felt breathless), these lumps will have to be confirmed by biopsy.

Ray had earlier mentioned that the lung cancer is around stage 3. If these lumps (outside the lung) are indeed proved to be cancerous, then the cancer stage would be more advance (stage 4 - meaning that it has spread beyond where it originated).

All these need to be confirmed before the medical professionals could advise the best course of treatment.

Saw Michelle. She looked calm.

She shared that when she was listening to the songs the night before, she saw a vision - a figure like Jesus embracing a little girl. The song, which she found out later, is 'Refuge'.

Let's pray that GOD will continue to minister to our dear sister. That there will be no fear.That her fever which usually comes in the evening will stay away. Pray for her little boys, aged 4 years and 11 months, that they will be good.Pray for Ray, a pillar of strength to Michelle, to continue to stay upbeat and strong. Pray for Michelle's parents to come to know the LORD....

Psalm 91: 2 - I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

The Lord's Supper on Thursday Evening

Together with Michelle, Lavonne and Francis, we took the Lord's Supper in the evening, confessing the resurrection life of Christ. His body was broken that our body may be whole, it is not how perfect our faith is but the perfection of His work at the cross that opens the way for us to approach His throne of grace with boldness. We anointed her with oil. In the evening she felt better as the fever left, we talked and she smiled. Let us continue to hold firmly to the hope that we confess without wavering, for the one who made the promise is faithful.(10:23)

Let us pray that the fearful expectation of judgement be removed instead Michelle will hold fast to the belief that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Rom 8:1).

Let us pray with a positive expectation! Holding on the His living Word that says: But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. (Rom 8:11)

Friday Update

They discovered 3 lumps on the lymph nodes near the arm pit. Bone scan results will be out on Sunday. Continue to pray for her and her loved ones as they go through this trying period.

Praise God for the painless tube removal. Praise God too for revealing Himself to her.

God's Timing

Michelle and I were out of touch for some time. In the month of July, I received an sms from her asking me out for lunch. She had just quitted her job then and was working at a company next door.

We had a good time catching up. The question we (even when meeting up with Karen) never fail to ask is 'who are you in touch with' and 'how is so and so'. These 'so and so' you (those reading this blog) would all know who we are referring to. Somehow, somewhere in our heart, these 'so and so' are still dear to us and have a special place on our hearts.

In August, when I touched down at Changi Airport, I received another sms from Michelle, to do lunch. As I was just back from Beijing, I thought I may not be able to do so...with so much work waiting for me. Thank GOD... I went...

Last week, I received a call from Siew Wah...

I didn't inform many...
Lavonne ran into Ada...somehow we manage to link up

HE knows the support that Michelle needs.

Michelle : Remember the 'Footprints in the Sand'....We know our GOD will carry you through during these difficult period...

A Brief Introduction

This blog is set up for the purpose of posting updates and prayer requests for our dear sister Michelle.

Michelle is diagnosed with lung cancer. She is currently in the hospital going through more tests. So far liver, kidney and brain are ok. She requested for prayer for children safety, husband to be able to juggle between work, hospital, children and parent. She sensed strength and felt peace. Certain time very upset when she thinks of uncertainty and treatment ahead.

I will leave Lavonne and Jocelyn to fill in more details.
