Excerpt from MALAYSIAN INSIDER

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 9 - Police have tightened security around US-owned concerns in Malaysia in the aftermath of Israeli invasion of Gaza as Friday prayer sermons called for a boycott of those  with interests in the US and Israel apart from stopping use of the American dollar. (read more)

It breaks my heart when I lean in to hear God's heart. How it ruins us when we pray, "God, show me your heart. I want to know what you're feeling." That we may be in agreement with him when we pray God's agenda above all other agendas. Recently at OneThing KC there were significant moments when we interceded for the nations, especially Israel, in preparation for Christ's return. Those representing 3 major people groups were called forth on the final conference night. Asians were highlighted as God's formidable force for this hour. I felt a longing in my heart that I cannot describe. A longing that I'm certain many who cry "Maranatha!" feel in deep groaning. The longing of the Bridegroom.

O God, that your chosen ones may be bold enough to lean in close to your heart to hear your heart and know your ache, to burn with a longing resembling yours to see nations healed and families transformed. How do we pray, what can we say? God, teach me how. That there be a holy invasion of shekinah through prayer, a radical boycott of ra'a' through fasting. Teach your disciples unity with wisdom, when earthly rulers pit us against each other. Whose side do we stand on, whose political agenda do we adhere to? I don't belong to any nation more than to yours, ultimately. Can we see BersatUnite across Malaysia and USA impacting nations along the road B2J, Lord? You love Israel, you love US too. You love the Arabs, the Jews, the Asians, the WWW! All of us! Amplify your heartbeat in our ears, magnify the travail in our souls, that we be driven - compelled! - to a final loyalty to your Kingdom, not torn between 2 nations, to find security of our heavenly citizenship. We submit to authority, God, but we fear you above all - this is my Friday prayer. Iya Tuhan, patahkan egoisme kami, tapi pulihkan gerejaMu di saat ini. 

Amin.
