9Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are confident of better things in your case—things that accompany salvation. 10God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. 11We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure. 12We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
Hebrews 6:9-12


Hey people. Are we all keeping Rezolution faithfully in prayer.
Sure it's not easy. I know and i'm not always faithful in praying for it
But let's persevere and not feel ashamed.
What do u expect from the camp? If you have been abiding in Him chances are it's what the Lord expects outta it too. Keep praying for it faithfully and expect it patiently.
As i say this I'm encouraging myself too...
let us not stop doing good and helping others. He will not forget.

10For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech. 11He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it. 12For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."[a] 1Pet3:10-12

And also keep from doing evil in His sight. The Lord hears the prayers of the righteous.(Pro15:8,29 28:9).. If we're gonna get good stuff from the Lord (All promises and blessings). We gotta have the responsibility to handle it. And as we live upright lives. We can be assured our hearts are tuned to His.
So let's keep at it.. =)

Hello one and all,
Like it or not your prayer i/c is back from wallaby for good...(i hear some cheers and some jeers) ..Haha..
I would like to thank Ms Poon for doing such a wonderful job with the blog. Oh man, if she hadn't added more than some life to this blog it would still be a carcass right now...Thanks a million.
For those who love her posts do stay tuned..
I would like to thank the whole prayer subcomm(Guang Hao, Cooper , Jia En, Shumin) who have held the fort these past 37 days. I wanna say that Guang Hao is da man. For a guy of 15 years he has shown incredible determination, decision-making skills and leadership.Right now he's in Malaysia with his skool, so do keep him in ur prayers.
And to Coop and Jia En oso.. Who have more than helped out in the sub comm..(Coop i noe it seems like i arrow u.. haha..but u noe tts not my intention)
Thanks to all for keeping YPM, the camp, committee, prayer sub comm and myself in your prayers..
Last but never least our Father in heaven.. who has more than protected me and taught me by experience through wallaby. Who has shown Himself to be faithful when i was faithless. Loving when i had none left in me. It is my honour to be called your child and to serve u in wadever capacity i can.
having had some time to reflect and learn during my days in Autralia. I think i have learnt some stuff that i would like to share with u guys. Along with Shu, Moses and whoever would like to contribute, I hope that we will be able to inspire and motivate one and all to pray for the camp. T-minus 17 days... Not like all-knowing sages or something. But rather peers and fellow bros and sisters sharing what we learnt

Testimony (aka story) Time
So much to thk Him for. But this is a very specific incident.. 1 week before i was supposed to come back... RSAF threw me 1 x stunner. Here's what happened..
My boss' boss told him that he had to stay back for at least one more day. And that he would go back on the 25th rather than the 23rd. But he couldn't bcos he had to be there for his daughter's PSLE exam results on the 24th (collective "riiiiiiiiiight.." But he's a good superior la)
Suddenly the crab became very hungry for ikan bilis..3 ikan bilises... And so before i knew it. My flight was postponed to the 251105...
Nooooo... cannot ... I dun wanna stay for another 2 days. It's 2 days too long... And i have too much camp stuff to do.. (another collective "rrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggghhht".. But It's true! It is! )....
immediately started praying. And sent messages to people who realli cared for me and i them... 2 messages in total...But i heard more ppl were mobilised to pray oso.. thank God for all who prayed..
I refused to accept tt i was going back on 25th. i din make preparations and stuff... But news was still that i was going back on the 25th... until finally another superior started telling me i should hurry up and do my preps.. sad
The following day i grudgingly went to check with the guy coordinating the flights and guess what?... He told me that they had actualli managed to slot my boss into the aircraft on the 23rd
.. And that i won't needa stay for another 2 long days.. Woohooo...!
Praise God... He is a prayer answering God... for me and for you too...
God bless... keep praying for Rezolution..

ReZolution
a call to action for this new generation of YPM. A call for this generation of young people to rise up to their full potential in Christ and to reach their generation for Jesus.

Do we have the courage to believe that WE are going to rise up above our individual struggles and weaknesses to be the men and women God wants us to be?

Do we have the courage to believe that WE are the people who are going to make a difference to this generation? WE are the ones who are going to lead an entire lost generation to it's knees in repentance in Jesus name?

Numbers 13-14

Will WE be one of the ten other spies who see the beauty and abundance of the land. But in our fear and faithlessness say it cannot and will not be done and make other's hearts melt with fear.

Or will WE have the spirit and courage of Joshua (Joshua's name is the Hebrew equivalent of Jesus) and Caleb. Will WE like Caleb say:" Together with Jesus nothing is impossible."

From Zondervan Life application Bible:

"Caleb was not such a man of great faith as a man of faith in a great God! His boldness rested on His understanding of God, not on his confidence in Israel's abilities to conquer the land. He could not agree with the majority, for that would be to disagree with God."

Choose...
Choose to be the one who stands upon God's character and strength. On His faithfulness to His people. A God who cannot lie.
Ask Him for courage and Faith to believe and stand out from the crowd, to dare to be different, even when others say it can't be done (It could even be our close friends)
Ask Him for a love and passion for the lost. Ask Him to strengthen our weaknesses and for His own strength to be shown in our weaknesses.

Young people we are not the church of tomorrow. We are not future evangelists, pastors, teachers, apostles. We are the church of TODAY. Let no one despise our youth. We are going to take Singapore TODAY.

Deuteronomy 1:8
See, I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of the land that the LORD swore he would give to your fathers—to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—and to their descendants after them."

God bless


For further study
Joshua 1:6 - God's promise to Joshua.
Joshua 14:6-15 - God blessed Caleb with health and with land even in His old age because He made the decision to follow


Any word from the Lord u want to share with YPM. Feel free to send it to lowyewtong@yahoo.com.sg

A Call to Prayer [10]

Hello one and all once again...
To all who have been faithfully praying for the camp and for those who wish to start. Now's not too late..u've still got 3 more weeks....

S1
For the group list which is already out. That God would personally grant the groups synergy, that they will learn so much from each other and generally enjoy each other's company

For the selected group leaders to be willing to serve, and that He will grant them an extra dose of anointing, favour and leadership as they take up a higher responsibility. That they would regard it an honour rather than a burden. And that the Father would duly reward them in the camp.

S2
That YPMers will know the importance of God's word for living and Holiness even before the camp starts.Through (QT, Bible Study, Sermons, Sermon tapes etc etc.)
That they would come with an expectancy and a deep hunger for the word of God

S3
that YPMers will be Empowered and Armored. (Eph 6:10-11)
Empowered with strength from the Holy Spirit.
Armored with the armour of God.
Because it is through these that we will defeat the evil one and his schemes (Eph 6:12).
And it is by this we can reach an entire lost generation for Jesus

S4
Cooperation of the island management. That they will be accepting of all the activities that we are going to have (especially games).With all the noisee and mess and stuff.. haha

From the campcom!

Amelia:
pray for good health -
down with a bit of running nose/cough....
pray for physical strength:
esp. for moving office stuff

Isaac Yeo: Going for a mission trip to Kl.Pray for safe journey and an enriching time learning from experieence and God

Joshua Ho: As camp draws nearer demand of log increases. Pray for strength wisdom and drive to finish the job.

Calvin Low: Back in sg. Needa get updated on all that's happening ard. still disorientated. Last place to be. Haha

Eeling: it's about praying that God will prepare the hearts of the campers to have a thirst and hunger for the Word of Life and that His presence will sweep mightily thru the camp

Samson:
Continue praying that we come with a heart of expectancy.

He wraps Himself in light. And darkness tries to hide. It trembles at His voice.

I remember about a month back when our camp chairman, Amelia, addressed the fear issue about the Scripture Union campsite during YPM.

Demons and evil spirits are real. But the problem is that we've always been focusing on our fear of them (or pretending that they don't exist,which isn't very smart either.). It's about time we bring our focus back to not how scary they are but how great and how much more powerful our Jesus is!

and so, part 2 about the blood of Jesus is going to show you just what you have because of Jesus that will cause the demons to run so fast and so hard..and make you realize why you have no reason to be afraid. onward to liberation from fear! yay!

What is it about the blood of Jesus that makes demons and evil spirits flee?
ok, first up, WHO is Jesus? Jesus is the son of the most holy, most awesome God. Our God is completely pure, holy. He is perfectly sinless and good.

blood of Jesus = blood of God's precious Son = pure. holy. good.
demons and evil spirits = impure. evil. hateful.

demons and everything evil cannot stand anything pure and holy. it freaks them out bad. really bad. how much more are they afraid of Jesus and His shed blood? satan and his demons hate the blood of Jesus! Jesus is the EPITOME OF PURITY, HOLINESS AND GOODNESS.


Application!
The blood of Jesus is available for us to appropriate and apply in our lives. When we apply the blood of Jesus in our lives, it's like building a hedge of protection around us. When evil spirits see the blood of Jesus over us, they are completely helpless! One thing i've been doing every night for the past year is to cover my family and I in the blood. Nothing can touch us.

Start doing this, make it a point to ask for the covering of the blood each time you pray. Cover yourself, your family, your cell group members with the blood! Pray for the campsite as well, to be covered in the blood of Jesus. ask God to build a hedge of protection around our campsite! Stop being afraid. satan uses fear to cripple you. Start becoming a child of God who knows the POWER that lies in the shed blood of your Jesus!

remember Revelations 12:11
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.

by the blood of the Lamb, we have overcome the evil one!

A Call To Prayer [9]

"When we pray, all that God is and has becomes ours . All you need to do is ask."

With this in mind, let's press on in prayer together for the camp which is happening in about a month's time!

1. Pray for Rezolution'05!
i) Groupings and selections of group leaders!
Pray that this will be done according to His will and pray for wisdom and discernment for those in the campcom who will be doing this. May the ones chosen for this responsibility be His choice!

ii) Pray for greater expectancy from campers
Pray that campers will begin to already expect to have a life-altering encounter with our great God in the camp. This camp will be the one they meet Jesus, so real, so close, so awesome, they can't deny it..and will never remain the same.

iii) Pray for spiritual strongholds to be broken!
What are spiritual strongholds in the first place? this is what i found:
"A spiritual stronghold is any area in your life over which the devil has control such as pride, lust, fear, worry, anxiety, gluttony, rebellion, or ignorance. Satan seeks to establish these strongholds in your life so that He can have control over you. These strongholds are normally established in your mind. He will use these strongholds, which are normally your weaknesses or bad habits, as his battleground to launch his fiery darts. He will use them to short-circuit God's anointing over your life to defeat you."

Pray that in the name of Jesus, these strongholds will be torn down, because if the Son has set us free, we are free indeed! (John 8:36)

iv) Logistics
Pray that the things needed for the camp will be easy to find. Pray that equipment will work properly and that nothing will go missing/damaged. Pray that we will trust Him entirely for providence :)

v) Things out of human control, but perfectly in our Father's control :)
Pray for the health of campers and campcom! May we remember that what Jesus has, we have, and who doesn't know Jesus has perfect health? May we remain strong and energetic! Our bodies overflowing with life and everything good!

2. From the campcom!
Amelia:
Pray that she will continue to find rest in God and continues to hear from Him.

Aaron:
The groupings and selection of group leaders is this week. Pray that our Father's hand is upon those who are involved in this. and that it is by His guidance that we do this. Pray for his upcoming exams too! Pray for knowledge,wisdom,peace of mind and heart.

Eeling:
Commit the safety of campers into God's hands.

Joshua Ho:
Pray for my dad's health and also that i have time to commit to the camp.

Calvin Low:
Pray for favour amongst his fellow colleagues and superiors as he spends his last few days in aussie. Pray for wisdom and abundance of grace upon him as he carries on with his work. Pray for a good,safe flight home..as he comes home on the 23rd of Nov (next wed)!

Isaac Yeo:
Pray that the upcoming mission trip to KL will be fruitful and enriching. Pray for good time management for the camp com. Pray for a good T-shirt dealer. Pray that everyone will do their own part..and pray together with us.. :)

Samson:
Pray for my exams.
And for the camp, pray that we'll go with an expectant heart, pregnant with a vision.

Hi guys! we have a new component to this blog! TESTIMONIES! Yes, prayer works, for real.. let your fellow YPMers share with you :)

Here's our very first contributor, Moses Foo! WHOOPEE!

Wallet. The one accessory that unites all brothers great and small. Guys will never be so metrosexual as to not have a wallet. Sometimes when I look at my wallet, I ponder. My identity, memories, wealth and various cards that serves as passes to various places all contained into one neat little leather package. What will happen to me if I lose it?
That day came!

After a satisfying game of DOTA with my seconday school mates. (OWNAGE! MEGA KILL! DOUBLE KILL, TRIPLE KILL constanly blaring from my speakers) I proceeded home.
I took bus 291. My stop came and I got down. The bus left. I then felt my pockets to make sure I have everything with me.
Felt right pocket, handphone there. Checked!
Felt left pcoket, keys there. Checked!
Felt right back pocket. Nothing there. Felt left back pocket nothing there either. I have lost my wallet.

Straight away I thought I must have left it at the LAN shop. I begin to assess my losses. I will need to replace my ATM card, my IC, my SAFRA member card and my EZlink card. All need time and money to replace. The feeling is sian man!

Then suddenly I thought of that auntie who said she found her things after praying. I decided to give prayer a try. Nothing to lose anyway.

"Father Lord, I have lost my wallet. And I am now asking that you help me get back my wallet. I commit my wallet and its recovery into your hands. I shall refuse to worry because you are already taking care of the matter. I rest in your goodness. I pray this so that my joy may overflow. In Jesus name. Amen"

In my mind I was thinking, "Okie, my part is done. Lord show me you in action."
The funny thing is that after I had that thought, I suddenly realise that I could not have left my wallet in the LAN shop. I last saw my wallet when I used the EZlink to board the bus. The wallet must have been still in the bus.

Bus 291 is a feeder bus. Feeder buses have generally short journeys that loops back. I proceeded to cross the road to catch the same bus. Waited 15 anxious minutes before I saw the bus. Flagged it down and explained to the Bus Captain what happened. I strided to seat I sat before and LO and BEHOLD ........ there is my wallet. No one molested it! No need to replace replace my ATM card, my IC, my SAFRA member card and my EZlink card. Time and money saved.

I went home feeling high. I have found my wallet and at the same time I have found that God listens to prayers.

What a wonderful God we serve! sometimes we think that, nah, we shouldn't bother God with small stuff..and why would He even care about the little things that happen to me anyway? well, that's when you gotta know the heart of your Father and what His character is like. He CARES about EVERY LITTLE thing that happens to you.

Think about the person on this earth who loves you the most. It could be your dad,mom, sister, friend, anyone. For me, my dad, i know he loves me like crazy and he would do just about anything for me. I know that if i lost my wallet, or if i missed a bus, if he could he would make sure that i found my wallet or that the next bus came earlier so that i wouldnt be late! He would do everything in his power to make things go well for me. HOW MUCH MORE MY HEAVENLY FATHER? :)

I urge you, dear people. Get to know your heavenly Father's heart even more intimately, so you know just how much He loves you and how much He has already done for you and will continue to do for you. Don't be afraid to pray and ask Him for help. while you're at it, keep the camp in prayer too, ok?

A Call to Prayer [8]

Hello dear people! First up, thank you for your support and prayers for this blog, -thumps chest- RESPECT! haha. As the camp draws nearer, we're going to step up in intensity for prayer for the camp, okay? Oh-kay! Here we go!

1. Be united in prayer for Rezolution '05!
i) Camp Registration
Pray for YPMers who have yet to sign up for the camp, that this week will be the week they throw away whatever reservations they have, and whatever obstacles will be removed so that they will take the first step to signing up for the camp!

ii) Our camp speaker, Chye Aik!
Pray for Chye Aik as he seeks God for a special word for the campers. Pray that his heart be one with the Father's!

iii) Spiritual aspect of the camp!

Pray for campers and the committee, that as the camp date draws nearer that we continue to be on the alert and put on the spiritual armour at all times. Pray for the powerful blood of Jesus to cover us as well as for the campsite! Pray that there will be no fear either. We know the ending of this story! WE WIN, BECAUSE OF JESUS!
Revelation 12:11
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.
Precious children of the Most High God, start living like who you really are! Know that you have authority and power because of Jesus!

iv) Logistics
Pray that whatever we need will be there and provided for. Comfortable beds, shower facilities that work, good food..

v) Things out of human control, but perfectly in our Father's control :)
Pray for perfect weather! Sunny when it should be sunny and cooling when we need it most.

2. From the campcom:
Amelia:

-Pray that YPMers will truly experience what it is to be like as children of God.

Whiter than the snow...

I suppose if you've been in church long enough, you're bound to have heard someone talk about the blood of Jesus. heard someone praying it, applying and covering with the blood of Jesus. But have you ever wondered about it?? What is it about His blood that the mere mention of it and demons flee like terrified worms? What is it about His blood that cleanses and heals us, His beloved children? Why did Jesus have to shed His blood on His last day on earth? Why?

Are you ready to go on reading?
The devil doesn't want you to read this. he's going to try ways and means to distract you from reading this.
BUT PRESS ON!!
Because your life is going to change when you know the POWER that is in the BLOOD of YOUR Jesus.

Part 1: The blood of Jesus has washed away your sins! Completely!
There are things in our lives that we've done that we wish a hundred times over that we didn't do it. But fact is, we did. We have a lot of memories of the past that haunts us and satan knows our weaknesses. he likes to use things that remind us of the sins we committed.

Remember back in the Old Testament when the blood of bulls and goats were offered as sin offerings?

Hebrews 9:14 says that
"How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!"

now what you have is not the blood of bulls and goats, but you have the blood of the Son of God! Jesus's blood has washed you clean from your sins FOREVER. do you understand what that means? since the blood of Jesus has washed you clean, there is no longer a need to feel guilty because of the sins you committed previously. Romans 8:1 says that there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are IN Christ Jesus. YOU are in Christ Jesus, my dear friend. If you go on believing that you are being judged because of the wrong you did, that's a complete lie and a total insult to God. He sent His Son to DIE on the Cross for you, shed His blood, but you don't believe it?

Benny Hinn articulates it best.. read on!
"The sins of your past cannot be erased simply because you want them to be. You cannot be freed from a sinful life by merely saying 'I'm going to forget about it.'
God said that He would 'purge' us. The blood will purge your conscience completely- not only your transgressions, but every thought connected with them."

Nothing but the blood of Christ can cleanse your mind from thoughts of past and present sins. Since we have "a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinklld from an evil conscience" (Heb 10:21-22)

What is an evil conscience? One that remembers yesterday and whispers, 'You're a sinner.'
But in heaven, the Lord says, 'Welcome! I have delivered you from your iniquities. You are forgiven. Only saints can enter here, and the blood has made you righteous.'

To many it sounds impossible that we can stand before God with the righteousness of Christ, but it is true. Because the blood of Jesus is pure, we become pure in God's sight. The Lord cleanses our minds from the past and the present."

The blood has washed you CLEAN! Whiter than the snow! You are FREE from condemnation. In God's eyes, because of the blood of Jesus, you are as righteous, as good as Jesus is!

1 John 1:7 says that
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin."

Purifies. See that? It doesn't say purified. had purified. It says purifies. And that means it's a continuous cleansing. Right now, the blood of Jesus is cleansing you! It's a continual cycle, being washed by the blood of Jesus!

Hard to believe? Believe it, because only when you believe it, and only when you apply the blood of Jesus over your heart, then you open your heart to receive the freedom that comes from knowing that truly, in Christ Jesus, there is no condemnation.

We deserve to be punished for our sins and our scummyness. We all deserve to be hung on that Cross. but your Creator stepped in, His heart overflowing with love for you. "No. I love you too much. Let me take your place.I'll pay the price for your sins." And that He did. on the Cross.

He took your place, full of guilt,shame and dirt. Since He took your place, He has given you His place. And in Jesus's place, there is complete freedom and righteousness. Know what you have in Christ Jesus, don't give satan the chance to steal from you what is yours because you don't know what you have.

When you pray today, apply the blood of Jesus over your heart and life. Know that your sins are washed away! Do as Benny Hinn says: "When satan reminds you of your past, remind him of his future!"

A Call to Prayer [7]

Helloooooooooo! Prayer pointers are here! Yay :)
ok.go read. and PRAY!

1. Pray that YPMers will come to see Jesus as someone they can run to
Pray that Jesus will no longer be Someone distant, Someone far away that we can't relate to.

Psalm 46:1
"God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble."

He is closer to us than even our best friends..pray that we will learn to be more sensitive to His presence that's always with us. He is right there, willing to listen, willing to comfort, with arms of love wide open.

2. Pray for strength and perseverance as we push in closer to God
Sometimes the road seems too long..too lonely..too narrow. Being set apart for Him seems tough. But take heart,

Psalm 126:4
"Those who sow in tears
will reap with songs of joy."

Pray for strength and perseverance for all in YPM who are seeking God. He promises that He will be found by you. (Jeremiah 29:13) A dear friend shared with me something from a book: our walk with the King is a step-by-step, one foot in front of the other kinda faith. Keep your eyes on the finish line! The unimaginable joy and indescribable love when we finally meet Jesus..it's reason enough. May we rejoice with every trial as He moulds us to become the people we never thought we could be and everything He intended for us to be!

3. From the camp com:
Amelia:
Pray for campers as they prepare to come for the camp. Pray also for Aaron as he will be making some announcements this weekend.

Aaron:
Pray for the committee to have a worshipful heart, and as the camp draws closer, that we remain steadfast in our walk.

Isaac Yeo:
Pray that we’ll hit our faith target for the camp and continue praying that we’ll find a good T shirt supplier with good price and quality. Pray for good health for me too.

Eeling:
Pray for very good weather on games’ day, because after carrying out the recce on Tuesday for games, we realized that we really need the good weather.

Calvin Low:
Pray for obedience for everyone. John 15:4-7. When we abide in Him, we’ll see answered prayers in our lives. As for me, pray for joy in every step as he does his stuff in aussie, pray for a peace and contentment that can only come from God.
