     What I got from Jesus is: Are you deaf and mute?

     

     Yesterday's passage challenges us whether we are unclean, today's passage challenges us whether we are deaf and mute. Are they related? I guess yes. Why? Because in my experience when people's lives are unclean then spiritual speaking they are deaf and mute. They are not able to listen to what Jesus says and they are not able to tell the Good News to others.

     The closer we are with Jesus daily and the more intimate we are with Jesus daily, the better chance we can be clean, the easier we can listen to what Jesus whisper in our ears and the more eager we will be to tell the Good News to others.

     So, are you deaf and mute? If you are willing, pray to Jesus now to receive his one word to you, "Ephpthatha!"  Yes, "Ephpthatha!" Say it to yourself now so you know how to say this word when you pray to some deaf and mute people and that this word can remind you that whenever you are unclean, you will go back to your old self and become deaf and mute! 

     "Ephphatha!" 

Dear Lord Jesus,

Open our ears that we can listen to your whispering voice and open our mouth that we can tell others how great you are.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

**NEW link for the 12th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign (from December 04, 2012 to March 14, 2013)

The easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week. What you need to do is very simple. Choose one dayThe easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week to pray for me, my family and my ministry, remembering the ministry of ACiC(ACiC has two Networks: ACiC, Anglican Coalition in Canada and AI, Asian Initiative). You may use the whole hour in prayer or you can still do you work in your office but use as much time as you can to pray and the other time work prayerfully that hour to pray for our ministry. This campaign is also to teach you that you need somebody to pray for you daily. I have been prayed for hourly the past 1,200 days and I have never experienced this kind of peace and protection before. It's just beyond words can express. If I did not listen and obey to Jesus call 1,200 days ago to start this prayer movement, I think I would be pulled into darkness and discouragement already! I deeply believe that this is a way to draw as many participation as we can in prayers. I encourage you to participate. We need you to join us! Trust in the power of prayers!
