1st signs from God




One day, I woke up with severe cramp on my left hand, which is the 1st time I ever felt in my pregnancy.
My muscles are so tight I could hardly move, it cramped so hard till my left hand felt very tired. However, the beautiful thing is that I felt no pain.

I stared at my hand for a few minutes, turning my hand around, looking at my palm and back, thinking how could I ever had this feeling without feeling pain.

Then, the Lord spoke to me is what is happening to me is the same thing during labour, muscles tight & cramping but no pain. Wow, immediately I had the revelation and experience that I truly need not experience pain during labour. I was so thrilled that I shared with Isaac after I got out of bed. Although he didn't know what I am talking about, he could feel my excitement and believed that I have experienced something supernatural!



I thank God that He spoke to me and allowed me to experience this which has served as a sign & confirmation that I was silently asking for. He truly know the desires of our heart, all we need to change is our thinking and respond with faith!

Since then, whenever my mind starts to question about my belief. I will always refer to this sign and rebuked the fear, in Jesus' name!

Amazingly, Jackie had a similiar experience just that God demonstrated to her directly by asking her to clench her fist real hard and bend it. She commented that it was tiring but not painful.
From then, she understood why labouring doesn't need to hurt and it became a reality to her for the birth of her 3 children.

Hallelujah! I am really very excited because after what I have experienced I am very sure that I do not need to feel pain and uncomfortable, though it will be tiring and yes I am looking forward to the delivery of my 2nd precious baby Golden! 30 days more to my due date! How I wished the due date would'nt be so near.. so that I can still enjoy this pregnancy! Haha!



Versus for the week!
- Confessions

Prov3:9-10 Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine...
v25-26 Do not be afraid of sudden terror, nor trouble from the wicked when it comes; For the Lord will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being caught.
- We will have more than enough because we are faithful tithers and God honors us by providing us more than enough!
When troubles or doubt comes, the word of God and His peace will be my confidence to rebuke the fear. With God, I will overcome!

Ps5:11-12 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You. For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield.
- I am protected and safe in Your arms, I am the apple of Your eye, I will forever rejoice in Your name, Oh Most High!

What does God say? & What should I say?


Ex1:19 "~For they are lively" - that's the difference between the Egyptian women and the Hebrew women. In chapter 2, Jackie mentioned that In Exodus 1:15-19 said that the Hebrew woman are not as the Egyptian woman. What had cause the difference?? Is their covenant with God!
They knew what God say to them, acted on their covenant and had their babies fast and easily.

Wow, when I read that, it blew my mind because all that was; was before Jesus came and redeemed us. Now with Jesus & the Holy Spirit, things can be even easier, faster and unbelievable! Just refer to Galatians 3:13 to 14.

In Gal 3:13 to 14-
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.


That's what I call my covenant God, Jesus! He not only redeemed us from the curse (which also means sickness, pain, poverty...) and He also promised the blessing of Abraham (which is the experience of what the Hebrew women had), and also receive the promise of the Spirit (that is our very best helper and friend, the Holy Spirit!)

I find during these few weeks of studying the bible, listening to faith-building messages, confessing the versus, agreeing with God's words has truly helped me a lot in my confidence & faith in myself, His word and promise. The best thing is I get closer and more intimate with God! Hence I had this revelation, "DO you know that God has more confidence in you than yourself?" & also "God believes in you more than anyone in the world!"

More often, I hear Him saying to me in a gentle voice that, "Dom, you can have whatever you dreamed of, the only thing is do you believe in Me?"

So at the end of the day, it is really not what other people say that matters.
It is what God say that matters.
What does God say to you? Are you saying the same things with God?

Quoted from Jackie:

"Faith is having confident that God told you the truth.
Faith is having confidence, being totally at peace-confident that it is all working.
1Jn5:14 to 15 "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him."



Now, what should I say? & who should I say to?
3 people that I should confess to are:
1) Myself (and to your husband if he is in agreement)
2) God (because you are reminding Him and yourself what He had said in His word)
3) the devil (because you certainly want him to know where you stand and that you're not going to budge an inch).
No one else needs to know.

Don't wait until you are in the hospital or have already conceived then you confess. Start confessing what you are believing now! Confess that you would like to have a baby boy/girl, twins, before you conceived. Because by the time you conceived, it is too late, the sex of the baby has been fixed.
Confess now that you can & will have supernatural delivery!
