Shalom uveracha b'shem Yeshua Ha Messiah!
Peace and blessings in (the) name of Jesus the Messiah!

How is everyone? I hope you all sihat walafiat =)
very very sorry I not post for long time cause... I either no time or no semangat... anyways, I decided not to close down this blog. I am just surprised because my mother actually encouraged me to blog! hahaha (that which I think is very very very RARE)

Anyways, Passion KL was tov (good) and a blast! It was awesome how we could, by God's mercy and grace, worship God together and listen to the message that was given that evening. After hearing the prelude of the message by Louie Gigilo, where he speaks part of the 268 Declaration where the verse is found in Isaiah 26:8.
After that night, I just wanted to look up and study that verse and just let its meaning seep into me. After studiying it and after God opened my eyes, Isaiah 26:8 is a beautiful verse and yet it BURNS!

Isaiah 26:8
Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws,
we wait for you;
your name and renown
are the desire of our hearts.

I totally agree with Louie when he stated that "Yes, LORD" is in essence "now Adonai(LORD)"
"You are LORD not me", "You are Adonai no matter what!", not "now Shan Berg" or "later Adonai" but "now Adonai", "Yes ADONAI".
Since we say that, we will walk in His way, the ways of His laws/judgements. When we declare that Jesus is LORD we don't wait but we desire to follow His Words. And as we follow Him in His Words, we walk in His ways... we learn to fear (respect and honour) Him and His decrees... we start doing right and doing things justly. As we continue to do so, we wait for Him, we continue to trust and hope in His Word, His promises and in Him, Yeshua(Jesus).

WHY?

All this because... "Your name and Your renown are the desire of our hearts!"
All the following of Your laws and decrees and in hoping and trusting You, we desire and hunger
to lift up Your name and to glorify Jesus name!
All this to make Jesus name known to all men and to make His Name remembered among all
men, to make His fame bigger and more than ever!

These are the passionate consuming desires of the heart and soul of the one who loves and fears God.

May Adonai keep you and bless you
May He cause His face to shine upon you
May Adonai lift up His countanence upon you
and give you peace!

Shavua tov my friends and to all the believers in Messiah Yeshua who are in Malaysia, Shabbat Shalom (I'm trying to observe Shabbat which starts from sundown (1926-1925 next day).

Keep persuing Yeshua!
