Holy DiscontentmentI couldn't count the number of times I have spent time with God and ended off crying because of the state of luke-warmness we are at. No matter how many times I asked for forgiveness and plead for mercy, this message comes back everytime. We have totally missed the reality and the totality of the world.
We are not desperate enough for the coming of Jesus because we have known how perverse, how wicked, how broken the souls are. We have been blinded by self-centeredness, by materialism, by cosy church fellowship, by weekly Sunday service and by our so-call service to the Lord. I know i sound extreme but why is the Holy Spirit prompting me all these times about it? I have 'seen' (through praying) brokeness within people, poor, oppressed, needy, unjustice, wickedness.
Because of my ISTM (Instant Short-term Memory) I wrote down almost every impression and reflection i have: (here goes; I am sharing what the Lord impressed upon my heart. It's the same everytime and i end up being burdened.)
"We have become more and more irrelevant to the Spiritual battle we are supposed to be in. I felt that the church has taken a back-seat in terms of making a real difference in the world. How Lord?"

After CS music Songwriting showcase"The world broken and we are fallen.
Hearts desperate for hope
Dejected and rejected
Families fallen apart.
Children are hungry
Many wrecked with perversion
Total insanity
Let's wake up
to the hope we can claimed
To live like what He has called us to be,
to reach to the broken like we ought to be
Jesus, we are desperate for you.
Do you hear the cries of this broken world?
Jesus we are desperate for you.
Empower us to reach for you."

before sleep"Cease to do evil, learn to do good;
Seek justice, rebuke the oppressor
Defend the fatherless
plead for the widow." -Isaiah 1:17

before sleep"Sorry Lord. We have not been desperate enough for You.
We lived in comfort and satisfaction. Where is the holy
discontentment we should strive?
To cry for injustice, to weep with the oppressed, widowed and suffering?
We have not been desperate enough for You.
To truly believe that You can make a difference
With Your touch, even bones can revived.
Come to us as we draw near
Open our eyes to see what You see
and ears to hear what You hear
Break us Lord and helps us reach for You."

Prayer day in officeSeriously. I don't know what to do with all these messages. The Lord hasn't said anything on what I can do with them. I get them all the time. (Same type of messages)
Updates on what I am doing:To break the bondages of the marketplace (arts, media and entertainment) and redeem it for Christ's sake is what the business Jon and I are praying is all about. So, pray along with us as we fine-tune it. Jon, let's continue to press on for His glory. =)Serving Him only,Dawn ang
