The Great Physician

"Chief of the Medical Staff"
By Christian artist Nathan Greene

The only man in the house, Philip, was sick and needed to be hospitalised for a minor surgery.

During the week of his surgery, I took urgent leave from work for 5 days to care for the children. We didn't go for the prayer meeting on Saturday. When we went to Church today, it was a Prayer and Fast Sunday which we would stay back after Sunday Service and continue with the P&F till 5pm. I was pleasantly surprised that the Sunday message by our guest speaker, Rev. Johnnie Tan, was about Health and Healing.We needed to hear that, really! Thank God for a timely message!

I was told by SK that yesterday's Prayer Meeting was focused on healing too. The worship leader, sis. Apphia, led an opening song about healing. And the closing song led by Pastor was also a healing song.

God knows our need. God assures us of His Power to heal. Praise God for that! One thing for me to take note is that there are hinderances to our healing and one of it is "Idolatory". There are modern idols which we need to check ourselves and rid of it for healing to flow. Could 'blogging' became an idol to me?? I wonder.... Okay, I will make sure that I put God first before I blog ;)

Pastor taught us to proclaim this which I would like to make this my confession everyday : I confess that Jesus Christ is my LORD, the HEALER! Amen!

Oh yeah... the picture, that piece of artwork "Chief of the Medical Staff" by Nathan Greene, the christian artist which I mentioned in my last post.... When I prayed for Philip during the time when he was going into the operating theatre, I was praying for Jesus to guide the hands of the surgeon, after praying I was reminded of this artwork which I remembered seeing it while I was writing about "Ever Interceding".

Praise God that it was a successful operation!! In fact, it took only 5 minutes. Even though it was a minor surgery, I admit that I entertained the fear of losing my husband... what if he couldn't wake up from the GA? With GA, there is always a risk... Thank God that not only Philip woke up from the GA, he is recovering pretty well, just need some times for the wound to be completely healed. And thank God for assuring us with His wonderful Word through His servants. Indeed, Jesus is our Great Physician! Hallelujah!

During the Prayer and Fast, Pastor also led a prayer for healings and encouraged us with the following verse:

Isaiah 58:8 "Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard."

We were so comforted and re-assured when we came home from church today. *BIG SMILE*

Ever Interceding

of Jesus praying...

Lydia! Lydia!

Satan try to destroy you with cancer,

but I have prayed for you,

so that you would not died.

So that your husband, Philip,

would not be deprived of a wife.

So that your young children

would not be deprived of their mother.

I was sitting right at the back of the church as Thaddea was sleeping in my arms, when I heard over the speakers, right from behind the pulpit, this prayer which Pastor mimic what Jesus would have prayed for me. It was so loud and so clear. It was so touching. It sent tears to my eyes and still does...

Pastor's message for that Sunday was: Jesus is praying for us, what are we going to do about it? It was a revelation given by the Holy Spirit to Pastor in the last week of August, that Pastor realised that we must say "Thank You Jesus."

Pastor shared that even though he knew this doctrine of Christ interceding for us, he never did say thank you to the Lord, until the Holy Spirit revealed to him. That's why Pastor stressed that just by knowing in the head is not enough, we must be touched by the Holy Spirit. The other thing is : We must ask Jesus to pray for us.

Acknowledge.

Appreciate.

And Appeal.

Lord, please continue to pray for me, I really appreciate that, I really need that!

After the service, I went up to pastor and said, "Pastor, may I shake your hand please? I want to thank you for the message you shared today on Jesus interceding for us. All this while I only thought that the church had prayed for me and you, pastor, my husband and my children prayed for me, but I never thought that Jesus would pray for me too. And I thanked everyone except Him..." Pastor reached out his hand to shake mine and said, "Oh, I also didn't know until the Holy Spirit showed me."

Ever Interceding

Now, what do you think of this piece of artwork? I think it is very very nice, lor! I was searching for a picture to go with this post and found this piece of excellent christian artwork by Nathan Greene! The moment I saw it, I wanted so much to purchase it for my dear pastor... but then hor, my budget too tight, lah.... anyway, if you are interested to own one, you can buy it from here or here

Though I may not know how to appreciate arts, I think this piece of artwork really portray what the Lord is doing even right now... It reminds me of how Jesus Christ is Ever Interceding for us... I could almost see the intensity! What a wonderful High Priest we have!

"Oh Jesus, our High Priest in Heaven, please pray for us."

"Thank you Jesus for praying for us."

Romans 8:34b "Christ Jesus, who died - more than that, who was raised to life - is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us."

Answered Prayer

Tomorrow!

Yes! Tomorrow is our 11th Wedding Anniversary!

11 years ago when two had become one, my prayer was answered so beautifully ever in my life :)

This morning I took pictures of our wedding pictures, blurry but great for looking back :)

Exchanging vows

Rendition of our wedding song
~ Answered Prayer ~

Philip & Lydia

To be exact, we have been in love for 21 years! 10 years of courtship and 11 years of life together as husband and wife, with 5 years of being parents to our beautiful girls, the 'fruits' of our love together... Wowwee, definately a 'Love-Long-Run' (爱情长跑), haha!

Still remember the wedding song we chose? Yes, it's "Answered Prayer" by Lisa Beville & Bob Carlisle.

Still remember how I was quite disappointed that the song does not have an accompaniment track? Yes, we need to make do with just the guitar.

Still remember how you surprise me when Desmond and Denise sang with the accompanied music track? Yes, George managed to get it oversea at the very last minute!

Still remember I was almost in tears half way through their singing? Yes, when I suddenly realised they are singing with an accompaniment tracks!

Yes! Yes! Yes! God made everything so beautiful, it was answered prayer upon answered prayers!

Hey look what I found here: An Interpretative Dance of our wedding song. I believe it was at a Filipino Wedding. The dancer so beautifully danced out the words of the song. I like especially these few lines:

It's times like these I thank the Lord for the life that we share... I like the way she looks up to the Lord :)

And every day I spend with you is another answered prayer... I like how she puts her hands together going up to Heaven.

When your heart touches mine... so so beautiful and touching!

You have shown me the power of what love can do ... powefully stunning!

I see glimpses of heaven with your simple 'I Love You' ... so so sweet!

Simply beautiful! You got to watch it!!



Here is the lyrics of the song:

At the end of a long day, can't close my eyes
Watching you as the sun sets as it slowly waves goodbye
It's times like these I thank the Lord for the life that we share
And every day I spend with you is another answered prayer

Answered prayer, when your heart touches mine
We've found a love only few ever find
Answered prayer, now that you're here
Our love grows richer year after year
And if life should end tomorrow, I'd leave a millionaire
'Cause in my heart, I'd take with me
A life of answered prayers

You have shown me the power of what love can do
I see glimpses of heaven with your simple 'I Love You'
And every time I think of you, it almost seems unfair
For a man like me to have so many answered prayers

Answered prayer, When your heart touches mine
We've found a love only few ever find
Answered prayer, now that you're here
Our love grows richer year after year, after year
And if life should end tomorrow, I'd leave a millionaire
'Cause in my heart, I'd take with me
A life of Answered Prayers

Answered Prayer


老公，能够嫁给你是我一生所想的。
感谢上帝应予了我的渴望。

Thank God for fulfilling my desire.
Philip, you are an answered prayer to me.
I love you, forever!

我爱你，永远爱你！


I just can't get enough of our Wedding Song! Here is another one sung by the chipmunk/chipette, Simon Seville & Jeanette Miller, it's a classic! Enjoy!! :)



Here is my post last year on our 10th WA.

Finally, our wedding verse:
Song of songs 8:7 "Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned."

《 耶稣是谁？》Who is Jesus?

多数不同信仰的人都承认耶稣基督是2000年前生活在以色列的一位好人。有人认为他是一位先知，也有人认为他是一位道德家，还有人认为他是一位宗教改革家。但是透过《圣经》的教导，我们不得不承认他不仅仅是一位先知，一位道德家，或是一位宗教改革家。

实际上，如果我们仔细查考《圣经》，我们便不会只把他当成好人，而必须承认他在这世上的存在是整个人类历史的中心，对他的适当的回应是我们永生的盼望。

您想要更了解谁是耶稣基督？他将如何改变你的生命吗？籍着唐崇荣牧师2008布道会《谁是耶稣？》，我们诚挚地邀请您与我们一同分享福音的好处！

People of different faiths generally accept that Jesus Christ was truly a good man who lived in Israel about 2000 years ago. Some consider him a prophet, while others regard him as a moral teacher; yet others see him as a religious revolutionist.

But when we honestly look at what the Bible tells us about Jesus, we would realize that he was definitely more than a prophet, a moral teacher, or a revolutionist. In fact, if we were to closely examine the claims of the Bible, we will no longer see him as a mere good man. We shall have to acknowledge that his presence on earth was the central event in all human history, and that our eternal destiny has everything to do with our response to this event.

You are sincerely invited to come and gain a clear understanding of who Jesus really is, and to learn what Jesus has to do with your life.
