Blessed are the poor in spirit! .

Thank God for His love for us and His love endure forever. Thank God for He is God.
Heart of God in Matthew 5:3

"Blessed are the poor in spirit! For theirs is the kingdom of Heaven."

To do God's work on 5 May 2007 started with I have few questions have not yet answered. I was not sured that the visiting Panthong, Nong Tum Lueng is leaded by the Lord because many times we felt that we wanted to do for the sake of doing it. I put this idea and submitted to the Lord that I want to visited the area of Nong Tum Lueng and Pan Thong area. The rest of plan and details He has to guide us since we were there so many times and do not excite any more. Pan Thong district area as I checked in the the map, it is the old town next to Muang district, Chon Buri. The area split ed into two areas. One area is very fast growing industrial estate "Amata Industrial Estate". This industrial estate is closer to the new "Suvanapoomi airport ". Another area is the area where people do rice farming and will not be so long to keep their land when the price of the land come up higher they will sell off and move away one by one. They will go to suffer somewhere else. We can see the new estate is not very far from the village even now.

As I prayed and asked for new direction near the end of last month. Someone mentioned Panas's new church and then the scripture of Mark 1:38 came up during seeking the direction prayers:-

"And He said to them, Let us go into the next towns so that I may proclaim there also. For that reason I came forth."

I thought next town to go and spread the Gospel may be Panas Nikom and took initiate to go and visit the area last week. We visited some church there but surprisingly there are two churches established there already but during we were there we met a lady who come from Pan Thong to look for a music school for her son. I asked her whether she is a Christian but she declined. I asked her name and exchanged few more sentences and told her that we might go to Pan Thong to let the people in that area know about good news and kingdom of God. After lunch and nothing so significant for the visiting Panas Nikom that day during drove back to Nong Tum Leung. The question of next town came up. I went back and checked the map. The next town is not Panas but--- should it be Pan Thong?...... Yes it is, but my mind don't really see any point of going there. Carnally I do not know what to do with the situation surround that area, people worship anything. I still see people worships mold hill around from the house of the believer. I asked the Lord of what should we do with these people whose lifestyle has never changed. God did answered us later of how He taught those people.


We started the day just 15 minutes after nine in the morning. to go to gathering place. After committed the ministry to the Lord to guide us, then we moved. Prompting in my heart to visit Deputy village chief first. He was there like waiting for us. We asked him whether he read Bible that some of them gave him earlier. He has not accepted Christ yet. He talked to us for a while and told him that we are praying to come back to teach Bible in his area. He agreed to that and told us that he do not understand what he read earlier. Thank God that he did read the Bible eventually. He then accused himself to make hay while the sunshine to work in the field. We exchanged telephone number with him and left.

We visited a lady who accepted Christ during my first visited last year. The lady in blue told us about her life as a Christian who accepted Christ but no Bible study, long time never bother to attend church. She is doing like she what she was before accepted Christ. She still have habits of drinking hard liqueur, often swearing after few sentences and sometimes still join a group of friends to visit medium. She told us about experience with God during this period of 3 weeks she did go to see near-by medium for a blessing. This trip the medium put josstick on her knee and tried to give her a blessing.
She told us with her normal swearing style that as the medium trying to bless her suddenly the medium fall on her back heavily like some one pushed her very hard. After the medium lady got up. She said that she doesn't want to be there any more. Then the spirit left the medium. She left the people wondering what was happened to the medium and why that medium can not give her a blessing.

We told her about the believers authority and assured her that we will come back to tell her more and to follow up some basic Christianity soon. We noticed that there are a lot of children around that area if we could come up with some children ministry for them. Pray! These people doesn't know how to ask God yet we have to pray for them.


The time we were there we saw a man who come from Bangkok busy with his washing. We talked to him and and told him about the gospel eventually we decided to give him some time as he asked to study "The Redeemer", the book which is telling about our Lord Jesus. The team prayed for him. The boy who look up to us is another kid who joined us there look after by him.

He did not reject and we even see some interest in him but to get him to be saved has to come from the Lord. He promised to read the book we gave him.

During we were talking a pregnant who saved from my first visit to the area last year came and joined us. She told us how wonderful the Lord wonderfully saved her during the car accident lately and asked for the Bible. Thank God for the Gideon Bible. We gave away few Bible today. We listen what she really want to tell us. We told her about our burden to go back there to have Bible class. She is willing but told us some expected problem. We prayed for blessings from the Lord her and her baby and and moved out to visit non-believer, who (we were told) is very sick.

We went to visit a lady who is unable to walk shared word of God in Revelation 21

"Revelation 21:18

And the foundation of its wall was jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
Revelation 21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city had been adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
Revelation 21:20 the fifth, sardonyx ; the sixth sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, hyacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. "
_ _ _ _ _ _Reason we read the Revelation come from

Revelation 1:3 "Blessed is the one who reads and hears the Words of this prophecy, and the ones keeping the things written in it, for the time is near. "

We went to visit a lady who accepted Christ during our visit in March 2007 and asked her to have this place to hold our cell meeting. Ajarn Damrong (the man on the back who wear white T shirt) is willing to accept to lead the cell if we can fix the meeting on week end because he works with the government. The man in purple's name is "Man" who drives us there and in Green his name is "Janya" who used to be a drunkard in the area before but they are the team initiated the outreach in this area. We were in time to reap the harvest . This time we have to follow them up not just get them saved but also put them on the steady ground of Christ at the same time I think of the Scriptures on Matthew 22.

Matthew 22:10 So the servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. And the wedding was filled with reclining guests.
Matthew 22:11 And the king coming in to look over the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.
Matthew 22:12 And he said to him, Friend, how did you come in here without having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Matthew 22:13 Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few chosen.

After lunch we visit Pan Thong district just a brief look then come back to visit another believer who has problem on the idolatry. Pa Porn after she became a Christian she can not wear Buddha amulet otherwise she will have headache. She used to have a lot of those Buddha images. After she accepted Christ she put all in the box and take to her relative house. Four months a lot of things happened to her relative house. Their son went to gambling den in Poi pet, Cambodia. After loosing a lot of money they capture her nephew for ransom they blamed on her idols at their place. Not only that they dreamed about her husband asked her to take back. Those idols also came to her relatives' dream asked her to take back. Eventually she took them back to destroy them but when those idols reached home she unable to destroy them because her children, non-believers, were against. We can see that those spirit in the idols were cunning and control the non-believers tremendously. I read Psalm 115 to her and explained to her not to fight with her children over those things but take control because she is in better position to use the Lord's name, His blood to stop those idols activities.

"Psalm 115:3 But our God is in Heaven; He has done whatever He has pleased.
Psalm 115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Psalm 115:5 They have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;
Psalm 115:6 they have ears, but they do not hear; they have noses, but they do not smell;
Psalm 115:7 they have hands, but they do not handle; they have feet, but they do not walk; they do not mutter through their throat.
Psalm 115:8 The ones who make them are like them, and everyone who trusts in them."

We explained to her gradually taken those away until one day there will be nothing left. If she do not know how to renounce against them let us know when she ready. We spent quite a while talking to her. Before we left we prayed the blessing, and surround her and her house with the Blood of Jesus stop all spirit activities in her house until opportune time when we can get rid of them properly.
