Tears of Healing

Tears are my prayers when I'm unable to speak
Lord You see my heart, You know that I am weak
Drop by drop they flow continually from my eyes
Like the rain that is falling from the sky
How loud O Lord is the sound of my cry
How long more O Lord will You continue to pass me by
Every ounce of hurt, with each tear I choose to let go
May Your healing touch through each one of them flow
Receive my tears as my worship and prayer unto Thee
Do not ignore my cries when I'm on my knees
I will continue to wait on You
Trusting Your grace to see me through
For my hope comes from You and You alone
My Abba Father, who sits on heaven's throne

Hope

Give me faith when my world is crashing
Lift me up when I am falling
Lord, I'm calling out to You
I have no where else to turn to

When darkness covers me
Open my eyes and help me see
You are all that I have
And You are all that I really need

Nothing else matters
No one else will do
Help me to have faith
And truly put my trust in You

You are the light, You are my hope
You are the answer to all I need
Whatever it takes, break me
Bring me to my knees

When all else fail, Your word remains true
Hope draws me back, and I'll wait for You

Lord, have mercy

In the midst of the darkness

Where I've lost my sight to see
Everything seems hopeless
There seems to be no way out for me
 
I cry out to You oh Lord
Have mercy on me
Calling out from the pit
I cry, have mercy on me
 
Save me Lord, I plead, deliver me
For only You understand the circumstance I'm in

I'm troubled in my spirit

And broken in my heart
The pain is too much for me to bear
It's breaking me apart

Your mercy Lord I seek

Your healing Lord I need
Yet Your love gives me strength
Whenever I am weak

Though trouble befalls me

You oh Father have overcome the enemy
My life is in Your hands
Your mercy is upon me

Because I know You are Lord

I call to You for help
You will look upon thy servant with mercy
And Thou will rescue me

My Confession

http://reflectionsbymichelleyee.wordpress.com
http://facebook.com/reflectionsbymichelleyee


Guilt and regrets I carry as I travel on my road
To whom shall I ask to remove my load
To Jesus I call, to Him that cares
Upon His shoulders, my burden He bears
Condemns and accuse me He will not
For it is mercy by His blood that I was bought
Redemption and forgiveness is what He gives
If only we believe, ask and we will receive
So Father God, if I have ever ran away
Forgive me I ask of You today
Hold me close forever by Your side
And never again allow me to walk away from Thy sight

The Funeral

http://facebook.com/reflectionsbymichelleyee
http://reflectionsbymichelleyee.wordpress.com

This poem is a reflection of my granny's death (2 Sundays ago). I wrote this a few days later after her cremation service on 24 Sept..

I often wished it was merely a bad dream
But when I saw the body and her coffin, reality finally set in
I didn’t want to accept it, nor did I want to believe
For the fact that she has passed on, is too big a blow for me
My heart was wrenched, my eyes welled up, my mind was in a mess
Her body has suffered so much but now she can finally rest
Yet my biggest regret was I never got the chance or the courage to share Christ with her
But there’s no point in regretting, for now she is no longer here
I watch helplessly as I see her coffin go into the flaming fire
To her I said my final goodbye with reluctance and tears in my eyes
For although her body rests, her soul will never see paradise
One lesson I’ve finally learnt, as regrets fill this aching heart of mine
We never know when death will take our love ones away,
So Lord we ask for Your courage to help us share Christ with them today

Fallen by the way side and through the cracks I’ve slipped
Tears have blurred my vision
Entrapped by the devil’s lie,
How foolish am I to be tricked

I have since lost my way
And the sight of who I am
Until His light shone through
My eyes have finally been opened and now I see

Lord I need You to come to rescue me
I know Your word is true
Give me the strength and faith to trust in You

Great is thy power to heal
And to deliver me from my fears
You’re my safe refuge and hiding place

For thy love is greater than my pain
Thy mercy greater than my shame
Thou art forever faithful
Holy and worthy is Your name

Lost and found

Opposition, my childhood friend
Rejection has held me by the hands
Through all the years growing up in pain
Suffering from sorrows and so much shame

Who would have thought that a person with a such a past

Is able to endure an environment that is so very harsh
I endured the physical and the emotional pain
Yet through it all, God's love and faithfulness remains

I was lost and alone, wondering if any one cared

Than God's love found me, than and there
Now I know who I am and I know who You are
You are my heavenly Father and I'm Your precious child

You mended and healed this broken soul

With Your love, You have made me whole
Out of darkness into Your glorious light
You called me now forever to Your side

Now with You, I'm forever secured

The past has no power over me any more
God's love has broken the chains that held me down
Now hope and joy is all I'm glad to know and have found

The Promise

Be it unto me according to Your word
Sovereign Lord over all the heavens and the earth
By the word of Your power all is restored
Including the blind and the lost

What has been will never be
The old has been renewed
The past that has once entrapped me
God has hence set me free

Dead to sin and alive in Christ
Victory is on my side
The devil has been defeated
The flood gates of heaven is now opened wide

The promise of healing and blessings
Are all there for me to receive
The blood of Jesus has made a way for me
So that I can enter into the blessings He has promised for eternity

Reflection: Love is a choice!

http://facebook.com/reflectionsbymichelleyee
http://reflectionsbymichelleyee.wordpress.com

Love is a choice!

Reflecting upon an incident that took place several years ago... And as I thought about it, there's one thing that is clear. Since God created the world, He knows the past, the present and the future. He sometimes preamps His children about what it is to come and it is up to them to choose to decide their attitude.

Some how it always amazes me when I reflect on the incident on Judah's betrayal of Jesus. Jesus knew everything from the start and yet He still... chose to love Judah and did not harbour any negative thoughts about him... Throughout, Jesus's heart towards Judah is one of kindness, forgiveness and mercy. This brought me to an incident which has personally took place in my life.

God asked me this question once (many years ago) regarding a friend whom I love dearly. He asked" "Would you still love him and regard him as friend, if one day he did something that would hurt you?" It was a honest and hard question, I eventually replied "Yes" not fully understanding what it meant.

The "hurt" that my friend caused me, eventually happened many years after the Lord has asked me that question. When I was dealing with the hurt, God reminded me about the question He asked me years ago..... I honestly struggled with it. I realised and learnt from Jesus that, love is a choice. Knowing that you are going to be hurt and still choose to love and forgive him is a deliberate choice.

Dealing with the pain, God asked. "Are you willing to give up that pain to Me and still love your friend?"

I had to make a choice - to be angry with my friend whom I love, or trust God to graciously help me deal with the hurt and than forgive and love him the way Jesus has dealt with Judah!

It is a hard choice, but since I treasure the friendship so much, I had to put aside the hurt if I really wanted to keep him.. Honestly, it still hurts every now and than when I think of my friend, but I have chosen to think of the positive things that has happened. The longer I harbour and think of all the negative things that has happened, the further I will cause the friendship to drift.

Love and hate is a choice. Choose wisely!

Reflections: Renovation of our hearts

http://reflectionsbymichelleyee.wordpress.com

http://facebook.com/reflectionsbymichelleyee

I cannot help thinking about an old joke that was resulted in a blunder I made...

Once I was with 2 other friends and we were discussing about the Bible Sermon Series that each of our church is currently going through. I told my friends that we were doing the book of "Renovation' when I actually meant to say "Revelation'... My friend teased me saying, "What renovation? Renovation of your heart?"

Although it was a joke, it was worth considering that we all do need once in a while to do a heart check to see where we are in our walk with Christ. As we begin to see signs pointing to the soon 2nd coming of Jesus, we must constantly be preparing ourselves for that day, as judgement is soon on its way. If things are not right in our hearts, may we find the courage and confidence to confess and repent before the Lord and allow Him to do a "renovation of our hearts".

Hebrews 4:15-16 "For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weakness but one who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.  Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may recieve mercy and may find grace to help in time of need."

Are there areas in our lives which needs to be "renovated"? Let us approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Prayer:

"Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious thoughts and see if there be any hurtful way in me and lead me in the everlasting way". (Ps 139:23-24)

Reflections "Let Go and Let God"

http://reflectionsbymichelleyee.wordpress.com

http://facebook.com/reflectionsbymichelleyee

Reflection on the words "Let Go and Let God"

I have this mental picture when I think of the above words. It is something that the Lord has reminded me through my friend. And as I was pondering upon it, this is what I (re)learnt...

To let go and let go, literally means to open up your hands and release whatever you have in faith, to God to let Him do what needs to be done.

Why the term "let go"?... Simple... We let go because we have been holding on to something that we are not supposed to be holding on to. When we hold on to something, our hands are tightly grasped together like a fist. When you hold something in your fist, you have no more available space to receive any thing more.

Therefore to "let go" we need to be deliberate to open up or hands if we refused to, God sometimes will have no choice but to find way to pry it open. The excuse I give is "my muscle is cramp therefore I can't". Simply and bluntly put it, if we are truly honest, what we really meant to say is.... I want to but I cannot because though my spirit is willing my flesh is weak.' The process of the prying open is going to be (more) painful if we choose to be stubborn and go head-on with God. But God has promised that He will give us strength to heal the "cramp", if only we allow Him to. But God is a gentle God and He knows how much you are able to handle at once, so He will never allow us to be tempted beyond what we are able to go through (1 Cor 10:13)

And after we "let go", we "let God', simply put it... We surrender our rights to God and we relinquish the need to have control over it. And that takes a step of faith on our part. Most of the times we fail to see that we have a God bigger than our problems. And we forgot what Jesus taught us that as long as we have a faith of a mustard seed, we can tell the mountains to be moved from here to there and it will done, and nothing will be impossible for us. (Matt 17:20).

Prayer - Oh Lord, please grant us the strength to be able to let go of what needs to be let go, Help our unbelief and heal our hearts and brokenness. Restore us and the things/situation, the way it was meant. In Jesus Name, Amen!

Demon Possessed vs Demon Influenced

http://www.reflectionsbymichelleyee.wordpress.com
http://facebook.com/reflectionsbymichelleyee

Reflections –

A short study on Demon Possessed vs Demon Influenced

Question – Can a Christian be demon possessed?

My suggestion is that a Christian can be demon influenced but not demon possessed. We cannot be demon possessed because we belong to Christ not Satan. Noticed the difference is in the word influenced and possessed.   

The idea of being demon possessed is that Satan has power and full reign and control over one’s life. Satan can only have full reign over those who belong to him (those who have not given their lives to Jesus Christ). Being demon possessed is the same as being under the lordship/ownership of Satan.  A true Christian belonging to Jesus cannot be possessed by Satan but we certain can be under demonic influenced and become demonise as a result of that.  When a Christian is under the influence of Satan it is akin to a puppet being manipulated by its puppeteer, they are being controlled by the evil spirit but it doesn’t mean that they have been “possessed” by it.

A Christian can be demonised (to a certain level) because of sin or because of anger/bitterness/forgiveness or involvement in the occult practice which gives room and access to the devil into your life. A demonised Christian is not able to mouth the words “Jesus is Lord”. “No one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit” (2 Corinthians 12:3), it would therefore reveal that we are controlled by Satan and his demon and not by the Holy Spirit.

Therefore it can be concluded, that a person cannot be influenced/possessed by the devil unless one allows them access and permission to do so. Yet because if a person doesn’t belong to Jesus, Satan has every right and access into their lives because they are still carrying the “sinful nature” in them and have not appropriated the cleansing and the forgiveness of ones sins through their confession and acceptance of the work of Jesus on the cross and have not received the seal of the Holy Spirit. In a case of a Christian it can only occur to the extent of how much they allow themselves to be influenced.

 “Affliction”, “oppression”, “bondage” and “stronghold’ are words to describe demonization to a lesser extent. This is much more common and it implies vary degrees of demonic influence in certain areas in the person’s life. This is can be likened to a military invasion of a city – even while the friendly forces occupy and control the city, isolated areas can remain under enemy denomination.

The way out -

The only way out is through renunciation and confession of sin of the person under influence, by physically casting it out in the name of Jesus and also through the prayers and worship of the saints. Since the demon cannot stand in the presence of the Lord, they would have to flee during worship when the Lord’s spirit is present.

Running out of words to pray O Lord
I stand speechless before Your throne
Hear the cry of my heart and soul
 And the groaning only You understand and know

Open my eyes to see the things I need to see
Open my ears to hear the things I need to hear
Open my heart to receive Your call for me
Open my mind to understand Your mystery

In Your grace, I live, in Your love, I grow
In Your presence I long to be, with You and You alone
By Your strength O Lord, I stand
With the faith You gave, I will walk with You till the end

Is Your face I seek
Is Your grace I need
Is the warmth of Your embrace
 I long to have all of my days

Nothing more will I seek
For You have given me more than I need
Hear the cry of my heart Lord
Cos You are my strength when I am weak

Do what You need to do, so that I can draw closer to You

Laying my burdens before You

And everything I have

In exchange for the best that comes from only You

I won’t let You go no matter what 

I’m staying close and hanging on to You
Where can I run and who can I go to
You have all the answers that I need

Through the pain, You gave me grace

Through tough time, You taught me faith
It is Your will, let it be done in Your way
I will not resist, Lord do what You have to do in me

You promised to deliver, You promised to heal
You promised to keep Your covenant, and You always will

Lord You are sovereign and above all
You pick me up every time I fall
Not a single tear is wasted, nor a single cry unheard
You understand my sorrow and You feel my hurt

On my knees Lord, have I prayed
But now I shall arise again to my feet to praise
I choose to rejoice and be grateful for all that I have
I thank You Lord, because You know what is best

Losing every ounce of strength in me

I’m sinking to my knees
Finding courage yet to stand again
Despite all the hurts and pains

Let love take away, the guilt I feel inside

Let it erase every fear that has blinded my sight
I’ve lost my step and I fell again
And every night I live in shame

I’ve lost my sight and I’ve lost my way

I won’t deny that I’ve gone astray
To You O Lord, I confess my sins
Less my bones dry up and suffer in pain

Return thy sight to my failing eyes

Let me see Your light once more
Lead me back to where I belong
Where I will dwell with You forever more  

Do not deny me O Lord as I say this prayer today

Reject me not oh Lord as Your face again I seek
