Luke 9:23: After the Cross - Exalt JESUS(=ALEPH TAV)’ Cross

By Yen Yen

Luke 9:23: Before the Cross:

...let him deny himself and take up his cross every day

At the Cross:

JESUS denied HIMSELF and took up our cross.

“Now if we have died with CHRIST, we believe that we will also live [together] with HIM” ~ Rom 6:8 AMP

After the Cross:

Let he denied himself (=his self-effort) then exalt (=ἀράτω, וְנָשָׂא) אֶת(=ALEPH TAV, JESUS) Cross(=צְלוּבוֹ, crucified, σταυρὸν=a cross (the Rom. instrument of crucifixion)) every day.

Note: There is אֶת(=ALEPH TAV, JESUS) before the “Cross” word in the Hebrew version.

“God forbid that I should boast about anything except for the Cross of our LORD JESUS CHRIST” ~ Gal 6:14a CEB

JESUS, My Divine Technician

By Yen Yen

In March, 2022 morning, I asked my neighbor who knows electric well to remove the unused cables in my house. He asked while pointing at them, “Are all these unused?” and I said, “Yes”. 

After the cables were cut down for easier carrying, I just realized my internet cable, which was also there, has been cut off accidentally, so that I could not finish my job that needed web searching. 

While my neighbor was fixing the cable, I was praying in tongue and said repeatedly, “Before 3 p.m., my job is done. Even, it’ll be done before 2.30 p.m. In JESUS’ Name. Amen!” At around 2 p.m., it has been fixed by the adhesive tape and my job was done before 2.30 p.m. PRAISE JESUS! 

The next morning, my PC internet was just able to receive and send the non-urgent emails for about 15 minutes then unable to be used at all. 

The official internet technician said in phone, “The broken internet cable cannot be fixed again. It must be replaced by the new one.” Then, another official technician came to check and said, “The (broken-fixed) cable is wet, it had to be replaced by the new one.” 

It means, the day before, JESUS has made the broken-fixed internet cable could be miraculously used for sending my job on the right time. 

While he was doing the cable replacements, I was praying in tongue and the HOLY SPIRIT said, “AKU akan menanggung semua kecerobohanmu (I will take responsibility for all your carelessness (=weakness))”. And, the service fee and the 25 meters cable were free. THANK YOU JESUS, my Divine Technician! 

"MY grace is all you need. MY (Miraculous) Power works best in weakness" (see 2 Cor 12:9 NLT) https://biblehub.com/greek/1411.htm

Saved From the Truck Accident

By Yen Yen

One morning in Sep 2023, I had something to do and once it’s done, I went home by foot.

But, I couldn't walk through the sidewalk as there was a food pushcart hawker on the side of the street and some of his customers were eating while sitting and smoking on the long chair with the table he provided on the nearby sidewalk.

Right next to the sidewalk, there was a becak (a cycle rickshaw with passenger seat in front) which was parking on the side of the street.

I planned to walk through the right side of the parking becak, then back to the sidewalk which there was no those pushcart hawker’s customers and as the becak blocked me from walking on the side of the street, then I had to walk a bit to the middle of the street.

Just before I walked through the right side of the parking becak, I saw in front of me, a truck was passing on the street about 1.5 m from where I was standing and the HOLY SPIRIT (=JESUS’ SPIRIT) made me stop my steps at the right place and right time and HE asked me to stand still and wait until the truck passed through in front of me.

Then, I could turn right, get back onto the sidewalk and get home safely.

Thanks a lot ABBA JESUS to protect me!
