QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q: When and how did you know that you are being called of God?
I specifically remember having encountered series of experiences in my personal time alone with God. In the year of 1998 I remember how I was drawn towards God in such powerful way for me to consecret and listen to God for what he was about to and wanted to speak unto me. So I remember spending many days, weeks, months alone in my room with God where God began to speak much into my life. I remember how I didn't understand or comprehend everything that God was saying to me at that particular moment. But it was the most unforgetable time where I stood and sat before presence of God where I just listen for God to spoke nothing but his words from his throne room unto me. I remember getting down on my knees before God because it was such humbling experience and time alone with God as he spoke unto me. Then God confirmed his words of all that He had spoken unto me through signs and wonder "rainbow". I remember how I woke up in the morning and seeing rainbow. And then when I thought I would see the rainbow disappear. I saw yet another rainbow. It was the biggest rainbow I ever seen stood above me as God used it as a sign from him to confirm his words of Covenant that he has entered with me as his chosen one. I admit that I didn't have a complete understanding of what that really meant 'to be chosen' at that particular moment. Although I do remember how humbling it had felt to be told by God "I have chosen you" And through this experience of encounter with God, I have written the song "Give Glory" which God enabled me to write. I have never wrote a song in my life and I wasn't trying to write one either. So I was surprise to learn that I had just wrote a song in one night. Playing the song on the piano which no one was using at the time in the building that I was living at to complete writing the song. Then later on in the year of 2006, God gave me a vision to start a business called Online Media Broadcasting. But on Thanksgiving Day of 2006, I felt tremendous draw unlike no other time where I felt God was desiring for me to spend time with him and to make decision. On Thanksgiving Day when most people spends time with their family and having thanksigivng dinner. Here I was in my room alone with God. Eating nothing but overwhelming desire to fill myself with God instead. I also felt deep sorrows inside my heart because I was not with a family to spend the holidays with like other people get to with their own family. Ever since I became a Christian and made decision to choose God and to live my life unto him when I was 18 years old. I had no family to turn to for help and support. I have spent most of my christian adult life without family to go home to. As I lifted my heart and cried out unto God, I made a decision to give of myself unto God to let him have me, Instead of letting my heart broken over a family that rejected and forsaken me, leaving me all alone and etc. I knew my life was not of my own and that God was calling me unto him for His specific purpose and calling. Now every year on Thanksgiving Day I remember that decision that I have made in giving of myself unto God to surrender to His calling on my life...

"Thought I drop in here a bit at Shoutlife and say Hello. Presently I am doing something a little different out here in NY city. God is moving me in the realm of Faith in Him and doing something I haven't done before. As part of inner city ministry outreach Independently, I am currently taking care of senior citizen who is ill with disease as their caregiver. I am working with local church pastor name Pastor Williams. I enjoy this part of ministry outreach caring for the elder and ministering to the sick so that I can believe God for their healing and living by Faith in God. Also been assisting other local church such as Korean Christian church in Korean town right by Madison Square Garden area. Working behind the scene helping with their media department with video and sound equipment for their praise and worship and sermon time. It was a fun filled fellowship with the local college students who are Koreans. What I loved about this Korean church was that they were people who were very passionate about Prayer and warm Hospitality with free Korean foods cook by the pastor wife after the service. Which made everyone feel like a family in the church. Instead of just going into a church for service and then leave after that. New York city is full of people, but yet it can be very cold and someone can feel very lost, empty and alone. It was nice to see that they are Christian people out here in New York city who opens their heart wide open to strangers and welcome everyone with warm hospitality in New York City..."

BOOK OF PSALMS: Chapter 35
Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord persecute them. For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul. Let destruction come upon her at unawares; and let her net that she hath hid catch herself: into that very destruction let her fall. And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation. All my bones shall say, Lord who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him? False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not. They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul. But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom. I behaved myself as though she had been my friend or sister: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother. But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together; yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not: With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions. I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people. Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land. Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it. This thou hast seen, O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me. Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord. Judge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me. Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed her up. Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me. Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
