Event:
Visit Aunty Mary and bring her order of Oishi
Here and Now:
Slept 7 hours but I don't need 7, I need only 5-6 hours. I am so glad to be able to bond with Pastor Timmy and Achi Grace once again, I told them about Stephen because Achi Grace opened up about how she felt towards Mai rejecting Randy and I was with her, we believe Mai will regret giving up on knowing Randy too soon.

Scriptures:
Deuteronomy 8:11-9:3
English Standard Version
11 “Take care lest you forget the Lord your God by not keeping his commandments and his rules and his statutes, which I command you today, 12 lest, when you have eaten and are full and have built good houses and live in them, 13 and when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all that you have is multiplied, 14 then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, 15 who led you through the great and terrifying wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, who brought you water out of the flinty rock, 16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers did not know, that he might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end. 17 Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’ 18 You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day. 19 And if you forget the Lord your God and go after other gods and serve them and worship them, I solemnly warn you today that you shall surely perish.
Deuteronomy 9
Not Because of Righteousness
1 “Hear, O Israel: you are to cross over the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than you, cities great and fortified up to heaven, 2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard it said, ‘Who can stand before the sons of Anak?’ 3 Know therefore today that he who goes over before you as a consuming fire is the Lord your God. He will destroy them and subdue them before you. So you shall drive them out and make them perish quickly, as the Lord has promised you.
Psalm 16
English Standard Version
You Will Not Abandon My Soul
A Miktam[a] of David.
1 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.”
3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.[b]
4 The sorrows of those who run after[c] another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips.
5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.
6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7 I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.[d]
8 I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being[e] rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure.
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption.[f]
11 You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
ObservationThe LORD is forewarning me in Deuteronomy 8-9 Not to forget HIM when I enter my promise, O WOW!!!! I will not say words of end just as Peter did because I am weaker and human as he is but I will say WOW! I pray it is true that I am indeed about to cross over the Jordan as my Pastors are now praying with me for Stephen Lao Yu. LORD let YOUR WILL BE DONE and let Stephen and Benita come to Word for the World Church with me soon. I don't know how but HE will do it, they will encounter JESUS because HE is real and I ask this from HIM.
ApplicationI will set the LORD always before me, I will seek HIM day and night and let HIM lead me and counsel me. I will follow HIM and worship HIM in Spirit and in Truth. I cannot do this walk of faith on my own, it has to be HIS Spirit that HE is able to accomplish what HE wants with me. I will also set a guard in my heart not to love anything or anyone more than GOD because HE is a consuming fire, a jealous GOD. Though I cannot reconcile GOD's Promise with what I am seeing now, I will stand by GOD's word, I will walk by faith not by sight or by feelings. I thank GOD that HE has taken away most of my fleshly feelings but I still feel love for Stephen. But it's no longer giving me despair because I am open to other possibilities, I am not holding on to the promise with a specific person, I know GOD will fulfill HIS Promise, whether it be Stephen or not. GOD cannot fail because HE is GOD and HE cannot LIE because HE is faithful and true. So I will keep my eyes on GOD, I will keep believing and trusting HE is good!
PrayersDear AVI,O HOLY and GREAT I AM, YOU are the LORD my GOD and KING of the Universe ruling over all things, small and great, flesh and spirit, heart and mind!!! YOU rule!!! YOU own all things and so I pray dear LORD that YOU will make Stephen hunger and thirst for YOU the living GOD, and bring him to church with me to seek YOU, please GOD put eternity in his heart, and draw him to YOU FATHER. I pray O GOD for his mom Benita to know YOU and seek YOU O GOD encounter them in their homes, please GOD, put it in Benita's heart and my mother to pray for Stephen to have me as a wife. OH YES! I pray that these mothers will understand the urgency and need to pray for us to be together because YOU revealed this to me during the week of the 9th of Av, so I pray that YOU will have YOUR Way in our mothers and have YOUR way in Stephen and his heart. Heal him O GOD of whatever emotional traumas he had in the past. I pray O GOD, intervene right now in Stephen's life, I want YOU to show him who YOU are O GOD just as YOU have shown me who YOU are O GOD. I am praying night and day save Stephen and bring him to a close relationship and encounter with YOU O GOD, deal with all his issues, and I pray that his mom will pray for him to marry soon. I pray that YOU will put me in their hearts, even in their dreams, insert me there, O GOD!!! YOU can do anything man, but I will not go ahead of YOU, I am praying for them to be saved O GOD, I am asking YOU because YOU have hassled my peace and my comfort by giving me this disturbing desire and need to pray for them because YOU revealed that they will be my family so here I am GOD please O GOD do not turn me away, please answer every prayer and take away all my insecurities and jealousies because it is not yet time. I am praying for Stephen O GOD today but I can easily set my heart to look to a new vision if this is not YOUR Will for me but YOU have been speaking to me about Stephen just when I want to throw him out of my life so I pray O GOD please have YOUR way with Stephen and Benita, please have YOUR Way.
In the Name of JESUS Amen!
