God Bless,

Last week, the island of Eileen experience her worst disaster ever in 18 years history. Waves of damaging emotions hit the island at around 1200hours last wednesday. Although caulties number has yet to be confirmed, local athorities has estimated that damages caused was life-threathing with several experts suggesting a potential life-time damage to the Heart of the island.

Earthquake BGR , measuring 10 on the reter scale, causing prior to the tsunami was dated 2 months back. Earthquake BGR started off without any imminent signs of a major disaster but several weeks after, Earthquake BGR started causing damages to the island and creating a havoc withing the life on the island of Eileen.

Due to the sensitivity of the island, our publication cannot proceed further into pictoral details. But the author would like to express his heart-felt sorrow but at the same time, wish all couples a blessed relationship.

Hallelujah!!! During the week of Sly Rogers, Jia Li has gave her heart to the Lord! The author would like to wish and bless the beloved daughter of God in her walk with the Lord, trusting in the Lord always.

Benny Himn Healing Conference was the turning point in the life of Marcus. As this issue of Marcus Time was late in publication, the author apologized for any missing of details. Marcus was serving in the choir and witness before his eyes the healing power of God. However, what Marcus received during the conference was beyond the physical healing that took place. For the first time in his life, Marcus experience the feeling of gratitude from the Lord.

We can never out-do, out-witt, out-class and out-give God. God will NEVER shortchange us. For all those that are facing troubles currently, Hang in there. God has given you the strength to help you thro' whatever crisis you might be in.

During Sly Rogers service, the man of God taught us that God is working in our life and is constanly purifying us and part of the purification is the purging of the old ways that is in us and imparting the new Godly ways into our new mind.

During the purging, we might be tempted to return to our old ways. The good news was that God is 100% aware of the situation but the process of purification cannot be ignored. When tempted, all we got to do is to ADMIT and SUBMIT to God our carnal thoughts and old ways.

Hallelujah!

Marcus had yet another dream within the last one month. This time, the dream was the reflection and the exhibition of God's love for us. We are not prefect and we cannot be prefect based on our own strength. We struggled from time to time, and Marcus is no exception.

There are times Marcus was spiritually down and off-track. But God never seems to give up on me. In the dream, I has spiritually back-sliden and was just putting an act in front of my cell group members and friends that everything was alright, where on the inside, I knew that nothing was going fine. Somehow, got cellgroup meeting that day and there was a special man of god there in the mist of the cellgroup.

During the time of worship, that man prayed for me. He touched my head and i backed off. He touched me again and i moved backed a second time. Finally he touched me and i can no longer resist the love of God anymore. I felt the Holy Spirit entering into my body. A feeling i have never experience before. It's like a ballon filled with the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit. After which, I woke up

During the cell group meeting on the 31 of March 2005, my situation was similar and wasn't looking forward to too much in the cell group meeting. During the pre-cellgroup prayer meeting, I almost fell asleep. During praise and worship, I didn't get into the realm of the spirit and to make matter worse, I wasn't feeling too well physically. However, God didn't let me down. He loves me too much to see me left in that state.

During the sermon, towards the end of it, God reminded me of the annointing that He has placed on me. He reminded me of his love for me and I responded. During the second praise and worship, I was sucked into the realm of the Spirit. I was bathed in the presence of the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah.

God loves YOU! Praise the Lord if you are walking right before the Lord. But if you are not, may i encourage you to pray to Him tonight. May i challenge you to seek his face. And if you were to do that, I am sure that my God will not disappoint you. He will come and touch you the same way he touched me.

My prayer is that you would discover the Author of Love, Jesus Christ. His life and death represnt the greatest gift of love the world will ever see, a gift for you. All you need to do is to accept it and a brand new start to a life lived in relationship with God will begin.

Meeting God isn't as tough as meeting the prime minister. All it requires is a simple prayer, a conversation with Jesus asking Him to meet you right where you are. My friends, if you have back-sliden, or you are not sure that you know God and that you are going to heaven, then make this prayer now...

Dear Jesus,

I need you... I need Your grace to forgive me and I need Your love to change me. Thank you for your amazing love and thank you for givng me life and eternity. But above all, I thank you for dying on the cross for me. Now, i'm a Christian, which means You live in me and I belong to you. I will live my life for You and I will love you forever.Amen.
