diligently and constantly listening
None of you can be strong in the Lord unless you are diligently and constantly listening to what God has to say to you through His Word.
-Smith Wigglesworth
Keep It Up
People frequently tell you to ‘keep up the good work’ or give you other encouraging words. As believers, we need to keep our heads high and encourage ourselves in this challenging world we live in. We have got to stir ourselves up. We do it by engaging God. I love 2 Timothy 1:6,7 which says,
6 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Airports always look the same but hard to beat Narita Airport
Beautiful day in Tokyo. I wish the Pacific Northwest would have a little bit more sunshine like this. Tokyo winters are beautifully sunny quite a bit. But it was raining and snowing two days before this shot.
So it’s my first smartphone
It was hilarious just watching how everyone wanted to help when they heard someone got their new smartphone.
One Year Since The Huge Earthquakes of 11 March 2012 in Tokyo Japan
Can’t believe it’s been a year since the huge earthquakes hit Japan causing the tsunamis and nuclear meltdowns that have forever changed the topography and psyche of the nation.
Love this nation of Japan and pray that many many more Japanese will come to God through the work of Jesus the Messiah that made us right before Him.
This imperfect world we live in needs Jesus more than ever.
Victory Word Church Starting In Bellevue Washington
I am completely stoked. It is finally official, Victory Word Church is going to begin services on 22 April 2012 in Bellevue Washington.
We’re in the process of getting together our band, finalizing our venues, and sending out the word that this church from Tokyo Japan has come to the US. We’re buckling up and getting ready for the great things God is going to do through us.
Praise the Mighty Name of Jesus
The Number One Most Subscribed Musicians In Australia
Wonderful to see these girls so full of joy and singing great songs to the King.
Apparently, they are the current hit on Youtube.com in Australia. Fun to hear Koreans speaking with an Australian accent!
Don’t be afraid to fight the spiritual battle first
So many times people are so keen to fight. Especially in the US were there are fewer people smashed in an area. Over the last 11 months I have heard Pastors in the US talking about the things that go on when people drive. Lots of jokes about gestures. God has something higher.
As believers we must remember that there is more to the spiritual side than there is the physical. People do things not only because of their culture or family upbringing, many do things because of what is going on in the spiritual background.
Don’t be easily suckered into physical fights (that includes disagreements, arguments) but focus more on the spiritual during your daily time with the Lord. Don’t be afraid to fight the spiritual battle as you know.
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
God is building His church, Loving it!
Planetshakers City Church / North East Launch from planetshakers on Vimeo.
Love to see how God is moving around the world. Planetshakers church has had some of my favorite worship (yep, even considering hard to beat Hillsong worship).
I am very excited about God moving in our church in Tokyo and the new church we are getting ready to launch in Bellevue Washington.
