My Beloved Shepherd, my Lord and I - Songs Of Solomon
(Part One)
You know those conversations we have with God; sitting at His feet, listening at His voice...
My highlight in China was a conversation I had with God, reflecting upon myself through His eyes, and also reflecting on His Bride, His Body, and His Church through His eyes!!

Addressing her Shepherd, she said: Kiss me with the kisses of your mouth. For Your love Lord, is better than wine. The odor of your ointment is fragrant; Your Name is like perfume poured out.
Tell me, O You whom my soul loves, where You pasture Your flock, where Youmake it lie down at noon? For why should I, as I think of You, be as a veiled one straying beside the flock of Your companions?
Does my spirit
crave the Divine Shepherd, even in the presence of the best that the world can offer?
Psalm 23:1-2*The Lord is my Shepherd – to feed guide and shield me, I shall not lack. He makes me lie down in fresh, tender green pastures, He leads me beside the still and restful waters.
Revelations7:17*For the Lamb Who is in the midst of the throne will be their Shepherd, and He will guide them to the springs of the waters of life, and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.
For He said to her:Behold, you are beautiful, My love! Behold, you are beautiful.
She Cried:Behold, You are beautiful, My Beloved Shepherd, yes delightful. But, I am a little rose or autumn crocus of the plains of Sharon, or a humble lily of the valleys that grows in deep and difficult places.
He replied: Like the lily among thorns, so are you, My love, among the daughters.
Love:He brought me the banqueting house, and His banner over me was love. For love waved as a protecting and comforting banner over my head when I was near Him.
Sustain me with raisins, refresh me with apples for I am sick with love.
I can feel His left hand under my head and Your right hand embraces!
Do I have a
constant sense of my Shepherd’s presence, regardless of my surroundings?
Deuteronomy 33:27...
Matthew 28:19-20...

About China:
Our time is up in China, and I want to thank all of you for all your prayer and support. There has been really tough time in China, and I know that it was all your prayers united and by God’s grace that pulled me through.
As I look back now on my time in China I can only say thank You Lord!!! You were faithful in the good times, and You were faithful in the bad times.
Thank You Lord, for the privilege I had of following You to China.
Our next stop is Malaysia and Thailand!!! And as I am writing this blog, we have finally arrived. And after two days sleeping on airports, we are camping in a rain forest in Kuala Lumpur. Praying for our strategy for south East Asia.
I want to ask that we all unite as the Body of Christ for the following:
- That the whole of China will be swept away, and cleansed with the Blood of the Lamb, bringing revival to all.
- For the persecuted Christian in China and Tibet.
- For the harvesters planted in these areas.
- For the Lord to rise up more harvesters, to bring in His harvest in China & Tibet.
- For the spiritual hold on Macao to be broken.
r - For the Lord to show us His heart for Malaysia and Thailand.
- For us to love Malaysia and Thailand not with our own capability to love,but with the Love of the Lord.
- What His strategy is for us here in Malaysia and Thailand.
- For us to grow more sensitive to His voice and to give the Holy Spirit charge to lead us into step with what Christ’s has planned.
- Not to make our own plans, but to give it all back to Him.
My prayer upon each one of you: that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And, I pray that you , being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the full measure of all the fullness of God. Amen, Ephesians 3:16-19
