Week 1- Pray to Know God Better
Ephesians 1:17-19

Notes:
*Sometimes we still pray for things that we already have (Eph. 1:13-14). Just access it by faith!
*God is not bothered if you keep on asking
*THE FOUNDATION OF ALL PRAYERS IS TO KNOW CHRIST BETTER
*Prayer is communication.. . We communicate to make things clear.. .
*It is not possible to know Him with your intellectual capacity
*The Holy Spirit can help us know God in a more experiential way
*You need the Spirit of God to know Him better
*You may know God but do you know Him personally?
*Ask for the Spirit of God to give you wisdom and revelation that the eyes of your heart (the real man) may be enlightened (for you to know what He specifically wants you to do) in order that you may know:
(1) the hope to which he has called you -- your calling, there is certainty about the Hope He gives us! IT IS FOR SURE!
(2) the riches of His glorious inheritance -- you and I
(3) His incomparably great power for us who believe -- the power to live for God.. . understand it by the Spirit

***GOD'S SPIRIT OPENS OUR EYES TO KNOW GOD AND EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE IN CHRIST***

***

Lord, I pray for the one reading this.. that You may give them the Spirit of wisdom and revelation.. .that the eyes of his/her heart may be opened that he/she may know the hope to which You have called him/her.. . that he/she may know the riches of Your glorious inheritance.. . that he/she may know Your incomparably great power for him/her.. .

Issues of the mom-heart

I've read somewhere that everyone's miserable. They're just good at hiding it. I have been trying to find out why this new season seems to be a burden to me. Don't get me wrong -- I enjoy motherhood and I love my little one but something seems to be blocking my view of experiencing it joyfully.  Callie's already 10 months and everything just dawned on me -- why I was struggling, why I can't see things the way it should be, why I felt ineffective and frustrated and depressed. I think I just had post-partum depression.  I just got back from my US business trip and I just bursted into tears a few days after while singing Jesus loves me -- as if I'm telling that to myself. I'm grateful that I have a husband who listens and understands and encourages me that I can do it! I just realized the root cause(s) of what's going on after that incident. I was too attached to Callie that I don't want her to leave my site when I'm with her. I

Maturity

By
I was reading a long-overdue-book and I bumped into this: I have been married for almost two years now and I suddenly reminisced my late teenage years... It was in those years when God made me realize that maturity doesn't come with age... I was younger then, when I understood this very excerpt from the book Let Me Be a Woman (funny how everything He taught me is already in this book had I not stopped reading it! Indeed His humor is amazing). I started reading this way back 2007 or 2008 only to continue it now and read this now. I stopped reading it way back then because I don't have plans of getting married yet... little did I know that He will make me understand this in His own personal way. And right now, I was like, "So Lord, You must be saying, 'I told you so..' right?" haha! ...  The key to meeting your better half starts with maturity. And maturity comes from God.   To those who are still searching for their better half, don't. Don&#

Exodus Moses brought Joseph's bones out of Egypt when God freed them. Joseph made his family swear under oath that when God pays them a visit, they have to carry his bones with them. Joseph mentioned that surely, God will take them to the land He promised Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. Maybe, Joseph's brothers tell this to their sons & daughters so even after x number of years, they are still reminded of Joseph's request. The Israelites know that the time will come when God will take them out of Egypt but maybe they just didn't believe so He needed Moses to perform the miracles, that they might know Him, trust Him and believe in Him. Sometimes, we know what God said and what God promised us... but when it's already in front of us, it's hard to determine that God is already moving. Why? Because we are comfortable with the misery that we are in to. It dulls our senses and makes us forget the promise of God. Be careful with where you are right now.
