Praise, praise and praise
Dear Brothers and sisters in Christ, I wish all of you were in our midst last night. We experienced God's presence and love tremendously in our gathering.
Sister Liu Lijuan brought another sister from Cranston to the meeting. Hongwen and her mom were here. Liang Yali and Liu Zhiwei were there. We had a full house except for Tiegeng and Liu Yu's family. It is our family, our godly family. I thank the LORD for HIS love endures forever and HIS love never fails.
During the prayer time, all were touched by the Spirit. God's presence was so real. Oh, our LORD is a living GOD. My mom confessed that she had sinned against God, because she did not believe in HIM. She was so touched. I burst into tears. I truly praise God for HIS ways are higher than our ways, and HIS thought than our thoughts. HIS timing is better than mine. While I was very happy for the baptism of Hongwen's parents, my heart ached when I thought about the fact my mom was still astray. However, God has better plans. HE used my mom as an instrument to bring me closer to HIM. HE re-captured my heart before He did my mom's. All the glory to HIM! Her belief also strengthened the hearts of other brothers and sisters. I knew very clearly in the Spirit, God had entered her heart, and new life had been formed. How can I thank God enough for HIS mercy and grace?
Praise the LORD for turning Sister Hongwen's heart around! Praise the LORD for Hongwen's mother's sincere prayer. Praise the LORD for Ying's parents successfully getting their visas to US. Praise the LORD for Brother John's love and burden for our little fellowship. Praise the LORD for Sister Liu Lijuan's humble and thirsty spirit. Praise the LORD for the seeking hearts of Yali and Zhiwei. Priase the LORD for Sister Guihua's love for this fellowship, and for Brother Xiulong's willingness to obey God's will. Praise the LORD for the work you have done in the life of Tiegeng and Liu YU. I can not count all the spiritual blessings the LORD has bestowed our little group. And yet they will be more to come, for HE is our living water.
The LORD is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens! Let HIS name be praised both now and forevermore. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised!

Praise the Lord for listening to our prayers. We pray for His glory be shown through all things happening, and the next day, I was told of His glories by friends who are not total believers yet! God, how faithful and how speedy you are! Your spirit rocks our heart, fills it with joy, for we used to hear about you, but now we really see you! "My ears have heard of you but now my eyes have seen you." (Job,42:5) You are right here.
Especially praise the Lord for Christine's mother and Christine. Thankful that the Lord works in their hearts, that they testify to us, how great you are! I see your faithfulness through your work. God you are wonderful!
詩篇 113
1 你們要讚美耶和華. 耶和華的僕人哪, 你們要讚美, 讚美耶和華的名.
2 耶和華的名, 是應當稱頌的, 從今時直到永遠.
3 從日出之地, 到日落之處, 耶和華的名是應當讚美的.
4 耶和華超乎萬民之上. 他的榮耀高過諸天.
5 誰像耶和華我們的神呢. 他坐在至高之處,
6 自己謙卑, 觀看天上地下的事.
7 他從灰塵裡抬舉貧寒人, 從糞堆中提拔窮乏人.
8 使他們與王子同坐, 就是與本國的王子同坐.
9 他使不能生育的婦人安居家中, 為多子的樂母. 你們要讚美耶和華.
