Distance is Not An Issue
“For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.” (Colossians 2:5 WEB)
At that time, there was no Internet technology. There was no way to hop on a Zoom online conference call to speak to the churches. Instead, the apostle Paul saw visions of the churches in his spirit, and that is how he could see their order and steadfastness of faith. Having the Holy Spirit in us is like being connected to the Internet. We are connected to all the knowledge and power that God has.
Nowadays, the local church that I attend is not allowed to hold in-person church services due to government regulations. As a result, all services are held through online broadcast instead.
Although I miss sitting in the physical services, worshipping the Lord together with other believers, I believe that online services are no less powerful than in-person ones.
Many people are more comfortable with ‘the human touch’, such as receiving prayer in person, having a pastor to place his hand upon them while praying, but this physical contact is actually not absolutely necessary.
In His second miracle, Jesus demonstrated that the power of the Holy Spirit is not limited by distance.
“Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.” The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. As he was now going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!” So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.” So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house. This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.” (John 4:46-54 WEB)
Jesus was in Cana, while the sick boy was in Capernaum. Just by speaking the words “your son lives” in faith, the power of the Holy Spirit healed the boy from a long distance away. Jesus did not have to lay hands on the child in order for him to be healed.
The nobleman initially thought that Jesus had to go to his house before the son could be healed. However, when Jesus released the words, “Go your way, your son lives,” the nobleman believed, and that was enough to receive the healing in proxy for his son.
We know that the nobleman believed because he met Jesus at the seventh hour (between 1 - 2pm). Cana and Capernaum are about 25 miles apart (about 6 - 8 hours walking distance) so if the nobleman set off immediately, he could be back home the same day at night to check on his son.
However, we see that the nobleman only spoke to his servant the next day. This means that the nobleman stayed at an inn or something for a night, and trusted that his son had been healed. If he had been unbelieving, he would have rushed home right away so as not to miss his son’s last moments, since he was “at the point of death”.
There are other long-distance healing miracles like this one, such as Jesus healing the Roman centurion’s servant, and Jesus healing the Syrophoenician woman’s demon-possessed daughter.
Continue to feed on the rhema word that God is releasing in season. Whether online or in-person, God’s power is still fully effective, and is not limited by the distance or channel.
As long as you hear or read, believing it, you shall experience the manifestation of the rhema word.
In the nobleman’s son’s case, the word in season was “your son lives”.
Earlier this year, I felt like I was coming down with a flu. I was sneezing repeatedly and my nose was dripping. I felt weak and irritable.
As I was praying in tongues and also asking Jesus to heal me and make me well, suddenly I heard these words in my spirit: “he grew strong through faith”.
Instantly, I knew that the Holy Spirit was talking about the apostle Paul’s description of Abraham in “Romans”.
“Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.” (Romans 4:21 WEB)
This was a rhema word for me to be healed. I grabbed it and repeatedly confessed and meditated on this, that I was growing strong through faith.
Abraham grew physically stronger through faith. He was already old and weak, but because he believed in the rhema word which God spoke to him, he and his wife Sarah experienced drastic youth renewal.
Their saggy skin, old internal organs, weak muscles, and dry bones were all renewed miraculously, allowing them to be fit for childbearing and even raising a child.
As I kept confessing “he didn’t consider the deadness of his own body, but he grew strong through faith,” I felt physically better and I did not sneeze or have runny nose anymore.
It was just a few words, but I emphasized on the “grew” and “strong”. Suddenly, each word was pregnant with life-giving power for my situation.
Faith comes through hearing the rhema word of Christ. What is He saying to you? As you are listening to a sermon video online, what is the key message or statement that jumps out at you and makes a strong impression in you heart? Sometimes the Lord whispers a verse or passage to you from within. Grab it and declare it for yourself because it carries the miracle-working power of God to turn your situation around!
Actionable Steps:
1. Get yourself plugged in to a ministry that preaches the Gospel. Listen to the new messages released by the pastor or preacher. If the Holy Spirit led you there, then you will benefit from believing the rhema words that is released through that ministry.
2. Train your mind to believe in the limitless reach of prayer. Pray for people who are far away from you, knowing that God will answer your prayers of faith, regardless of the distance between you and them.
3. When you receive a word in season (rhema word), write it down in your notebook or somewhere so that you do not forget. Revisit these words often and declare them, so long as you are still waiting for the manifestation.

16 Apr 2021 - The first time I went to dabao dinner for the family. Awwwww.
The big girl was planning to take the bus on her own for the first time and meet us at the mall after her oral exams today. However, our plans changed at the last minute and we decided to stay home instead.
She was a tad disappointed and told me that despite her initial fear, she was actually looking forward to travelling by herself. I was happy and relieved to hear that, and wished I could let her do something since she was feeling enthusiastic. So I said "How about you walk to the food court yourself and buy back dinner since the rest are still sleeping?"
There was a twinkle in her eyes and she immediately sprang into action as she took a pen and paper to take my orders. I told her to buy 2 packets of 白鸡饭, 1 packet of 烧鸡尾饭, 1 油菜, 4 卤蛋, 2 slices of watermelon and 2 slices of rock melon. She took her bag, wallet, keys, card, mask and happily skipped out of the house after telling her sister who was still lying in bed "I'm going to buy dinner!"
I wasn't worried about her because I knew this girl is cautious, observant and responsible. Indeed, she came back promptly with all our orders within half an hour. Woohoo! Mission accomplished!
It was a milestone for her and I think she is definitely ready to travel by the train or bus on her own already. For me, it's a reminder that the time has come to let go even more, knowing that I've taught her and trained her well enough to be independent.
I said to her "Next time we don't need to order food delivery liao, you can just go out and buy for us." To which she smiled and said "Okay!" I think this gives her a sense of achievement just as it gives me a sense of pride. It also makes her feel confident, brave and happy, knowing that she did something for the family. So kudos to ya, dear Angel! I am proud of you! ❤
P.S. She is wearing my shirt here and it makes me feel emotional seeing it. I passed her some of mine because she has outgrown hers recently. Yup, growth spurt, she also eats more than me already and can soon share my shoes too. Awww. Kids grow up really fast, don't they?

Build Strong Spiritual Muscles
“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” (James 1:2-4 NKJV)
I cringe sometimes when people say, “God is testing you” to someone who is facing a difficult time.
Did you know that our God is omniscient? He knows everything in the past, present, and future. Why would He need to test you to see if you have faith or not? He already knows the eventual result before you even do it.
The “testing of your faith” refers to you using faith in a real-life scenario. It is an opportunity to put to practice what you have learned in God’s word.
After testing your faith, what you know will no longer be theory, but a life experience.
It is like working out in the gym. The testing of your strength produces stronger muscles. Similarly, the testing of your faith produces patience (strong ‘spiritual muscles’).
You cannot skip the working out phase and end up toned and muscular like a bodybuilder. You have to go through the process of testing your strength. Oftentimes, you will be pushed to your physical limits so that the muscles can be challenged and grow.
If you want to end up as someone who is spiritually strong—effortlessly applying Gospel truths in life and not easily shaken by trials and tribulations, you have to go through the process of testing your faith.
God will allow you to be in situations where you have to overcome a problem through having faith in Him. Sometimes, it will seem like too much to handle. It is like lifting a heavier set of dumbbells that you have never tried before.
Thankfully, we have a personal trainer who is always with us to help us work our spiritual muscles. The Holy Spirit is our Helper who guides us through the process of developing patience, so that we may be perfect and complete in our soul and body through the renewal of our minds.
When you encounter a situation where you feel pushed to your limit, see it as an exercise that your personal trainer tailor-made to build you up. Instead of shrinking from the challenge in fear, trust Him and go through that workout. With every Scripture, prayer, stepping out in faith, you will emerge stronger and the results will be visible to all!
The way of faith is very rewarding. Receive miracle-working faith by seeing God’s heart of love and Grace towards you, in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

Translation
Cannot escape from my destiny
So I pursue salvation
Where I’m alone in the dark
Seeing someone new
Accepting gift and not knowing what they truly are
It stays in the back of my head
Curiosity turns into regret
Why does it have to be me?
There’s the answer in front of you
Because you’re special, I gotta protect you
So I accept the salvation
We gotta escape from this suffering
Now I’m awake from this long dream I had
Far away you are, I think of you
Where the end of the light is
Someday I got out of this room
I have to see so I took a step
Repaint my anxiety. Don’t look back, keep moving
Not thinking of consequences of opening this door
Why is this happening?
Hello? Please someone answer me
Why are we getting hurt?
Open your eyes and grab my hand
From now on you’re not alone
Cannot resist from my destiny
Even I wish to change
I need a reason to live
Because you’re special, I gotta protect you
So I accept the salvation
We gotta escape from this suffering
Now I’m awake from this long dream I had
Far away you are, I think of you
Wipe the deep darkness in me
Where the end of the light is
Will you be there and waiting for me?

Lyrics:
ALL THOSE DAYS
Acting really jealous
All those months
unaware of what I have
All that time
never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here
Writing for PBFs
Now I'm here
Suddenly I see
Thinking straight
it's all so clear
I am loved more than I deserve
And at last I realize
what is more important
And at last I understand
I don't have to feel jealous
As long as I have you~
I will never feel so lonely
All at once
everything looks different
Now that I see you
PBFs I am sorry that I'm singing the song
so late
But that doesnt mean I don't appreciate your ah LUVE~
thank you for being loyal PBFs!
And you guys are number one in my mind
All those days
Chasing down jjafengs
All those months being 7pupu
All that time never truly seeing
things the way they were~
Now they're here looking really handsome
Now they're here suddenly I know
With PBFs~ it's crystal clear
They are better than JJA FENGS!
And at last I realize
what is more important
And at last I understand
I don't have to feel jealous
As long as I have you~
I will never feel so lonely
All at once
everything looks different
Now that I see you

Unlike my other condensed videos...I picked top 10 plays in one game to show that how exciting AI was in just a regular NBA Season Game.....enjoy!
Allen Iverson was just as dangerous a
passer as he was a scorer.
Iverson scored 24 points and handed out a season-high 12 assists
as the Philadelphia 76ers overcame a shaky second quarter for a
108-101 victory over the Chicago Bulls, who lost their ninth
straight road game.
A three-time scoring champion, the offensively aggressive
Iverson has been more of a complete player this season. He has
improved his defense and playmaking and is averaging 9.4 assists
in his last seven games, collecting a dozen twice in that span.
"I just think he is playing basketball and it's really neat to
see," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "When your guards are
unselfish ... it makes everyone else better. It makes guys want
to run on the break and set good screens. It's a good feeling in
that respect."
"I've heard coach say that before and that's a great feeling,"
Iverson said. "When he says that I'm playing my best
basketball, he's seeing me play, and he is seeing it year after
year. Obviously, I'm getting better because I have the utmost
respect for him as a person and as a coach. It makes me want to
get better and work harder. I just want to keep it that way."
In the fourth quarter, Iverson had consecutive sensational
passes, leading to baskets that gave Philadelphia an 89-76 lead
with 6:47 remaining.
He answered a 3-pointer by Donyell Marshall with a jumper to
keep the lead at 94-86 with 3:19 left. After Jalen Rose hit a
3-pointer to make it a five-point game, Iverson found a cutting
Eric Snow for a layup - his only basket of the game - and a foul
with 2:36 to go.
Snow's free throw capped the three-point play, and Kenny Thomas
threw in a hook after a steal by Iverson to seal it at 99-89
with 2:15 left.
Keith Van Horn scored 20 points and Thomas added 16 and 14
rebounds for the 76ers, who shot 54 percent (38-of-70) from the
field and improved to 20-5 since the All-Star break as they
opened a four-game homestand.
"We really focused on moving the ball around and finding the
open guy," Van Horn said. "I think we did a much better job of
just distributing the ball. That in turn helped our transition
defense and it didn't allow them to get easy baskets on the
break."
Philadelphia (45-29) moved within one-half game of New Jersey
for the Atlantic Division lead and two games of Detroit for the
best record in the Eastern Conference.
Rookie Jay Williams had 23 points and eight assists for the
Bulls, who fell to a league-worst 3-36 on the road.
"If anything, it's going to make us really sit down and look
into ourselves this summer and try to get better so we can try
to become a better team," Williams said.
"We have to find a way to get one of the next two on the road so
we can go into next season knowing that we can win on the
road," Bulls forward Donyell Marshall said. "Right now we don't
have the confidence we need to get."
The Sixers played without center Derrick Coleman (thigh bruise),
while the Bulls were without forward Tyson Chandler (throat
infection).
The Sixers missed eight straight shots at the end of the second
quarter and committed four turnovers early in the third period,
putting themselves in a 59-51 hole. But they turned things
around with a trapping defense energized by Snow and reserves
Brian Skinner and Greg Buckner.
"That lineup with Buckner, Kenny and Brian, that really got us
going," Brown said. "It got us the energy. Buck does that. I
haven't played him enough. He's given us a lot of energy."
While Philadelphia was holding Chicago to one basket in eight
minutes, Snow had six free throws and set up Skinner and Buckner
for easy hoops. Iverson's free throws capped the 19-3 surge
and gave the Sixers a 70-62 lead with 3:23 to go.
Van Horn's 3-pointer opened the final period and gave
Philadelphia an 81-68 lead. A jumper by Williams cut the
deficit to 85-76, but Iverson lobbed one to Van Horn for an
alley-oop dunk, then hooked a pass to McKie for a layup.
"I think he's growing up as a player," Brown said. "He's seeing
things in games, he knows how to deal with double-teams, and I
think he recognizes when you're the best player, the ball always
has a tendency to come back to you.
"Even if it's late in the clock, it's going to find its way back
into his hands. You can't have a fear of giving the ball up
early."
Iverson made 8-of-14 shots and 8-of-12 free throws, adding three
steals.
"I'm not changing anything," Iverson said. "I'm just playing
basketball and trying to take whatever the defense gives me.
When my guys are open and they have good looks, I'm just trying
to get them the ball. I'm just trying to play the right way."
