Do you believe in Jesus?

I had a chance to attend revival services over the last weekend at a Korean Church in Savannah. There were five times services with three hour long each time from Friday night to Sunday night. A main focus was about the evangelism why and how we need to spread the Gospel. The speaker also focused on “seeking God’s kingdom and His righteousness”. I was fully challenged and encouraged with the speaker’s messages. One of suggestions about how to spread the Gospel got my attention. It was a simple phrase “do you believe in Jesus?” to find out whether they are Christians or not when we try to spread the Gospel. I asked the question to myself. “Do you believe in Jesus, Yoon?” of course, I said “Yes”. And after I heard a sermon at the second service on last Sunday, I asked further questions based on “believing in Jesus” to myself. If I believe in Jesus that He redeemed me with His precious blood on the cross, do I believe in Jesus that He answers our prayer every single one? I said “yes” ...

I was stressed out about today's worship service with the bishop's hour at our church. There was no format to follow but just worship for a half hour and I need to lead.

As I shared in this blog before about my personality being Martha in many circumstances. It occurred again. :) Jesus told Martha "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will ...

In many thoughts lately, I have realized how important to pray fervently in Holy Spirit. I pray for many people and stuff but do not sometimes realize how important it is to pray in the Spirit. The dawn service has been a big help for me to focus on praying and listening God's word clearly. Amazing thing is that God shows how much details about living as a good christian which I haven't been able to follow well. On last Monday night, I had found out again that people did not invite me to one of my friends birthday party. I felt so left out again, and cried for a while with sadness that people do not accept me as their friend but only see me as a person who works for them. I simply was missing having friends. While I was crying, Jesus reminded me that He is my friend, and asked me what I need to have more. I prayed and confessed that I knew that Jesus is my friend but did not really consider Him as my real friend. At the very next morning dawn service, a lady,who leads two hymns...
