Near Death Experience

It was 16th August 2011, a hot blazing sun at noon to be exact. A nice weather to go out actually to do errands especially during these rainy seasons which somehow brings about a heavy traffic. Prior to that - it was an issue with a long overdue toothache. Few weeks actually which I had managed to submerge it with pain killers which eventually lead to a bad rotting tooth - chipping off bit by bit. Yes, it was an afternoon I would not forget. The "drill" was fast. Literally. I'm making mention of the extraction and the whole procedure lasted in minutes. I did tarry a bit in the waiting area. Wondering if I made the right decision in losing a tooth. The Dental Clinic was about 15 minutes away from my office. That's when the minutes suddenly froze. As I was riding my bike. The next thing I was taken. It was a vision/dreamlike state where I was in church. It appeared to be like that church setting and there were 4 guys waiting for me.

True Worshippers

“Woman,” Jesus replied, “Believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4: 21 - 24 This is my favourite verse in the Bible. This is very much my heart beat of what I cry out in worship. Let's look at this again. 1) Believe me, that a time is coming that you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem - where location is no longer an issue . 2) Yet a time is coming & has now come when The True Worshippers will worship the Father in the spirit & in truth. 3) For they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks .

When God's Grace is Removed

It was raining early in the morning. One of the things that upsets me as I would be delayed for work (I ride to work by bike and therefore I wear a raincoat when it rains, with the traffic jam & all other sorts of inconvenience on the road is so tiresome.) I was feeling very tired, worn-out and angry. Deep inside I was feeling very burdened. Something so unusual as this is a normal ordeal when it rains in the morning. This shouldn't upset me - so why is this happening internally? I wondered whether could it be pride or selfishness on my part. (self-seeking ambitious or my pride wounded) Sort of my own self-check to see whether my heart is in the right place. Even then, why am I feeling so tired, so drained out of energy? Back Story: It all started last weekend when I worship lead in a church. The practice and the worship flowed very smoothly but something was missing. I didn't sense it then but realized it the next day. (the feeli
