The Impossible Exam
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh; that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans 8:1-4 WEB)
There was once a teacher who punished his badly-behaved class of students by giving them an examination full of the world’s hardest questions spanning across all subjects and disciplines.
“Class, if any of you want to be dismissed from class, you must get full marks in this exam. If not, you will have to stay back for detention every day. To give you all an advantage, you may discuss the questions with your fellow classmates.”
Everyone in the class attempted the exam, but even the smartest students had many mistakes. It seemed impossible.
The classmates were all frantically flipping through all the textbooks in the classroom, but it was no use. The questions were just way out of their level.
Just when it seemed that all hope was lost, the teacher said, “Class, I see that you are all trying your very best to work together to do well on the exam. Tell you what—I cannot cancel the exam, but I will join your class as a student and attempt the exam with you. There is no rule against me joining as a student in your class.”
Since the teacher had set the exam based on the knowledge he had, he easily answered all the questions correctly. To whoever wanted to refer to his answers, the teacher allowed them to see and write the same answers.
The students were all overjoyed. One by one, they copied the answers, and handed in their exam papers, scoring full marks. They were finally able to go home. They had learnt their lesson, and decided to be more studious in the future.
——
God gave the children of Israel the Ten Commandments—an impossible exam for mankind. The Law is perfect, holy, and good, but it was weak through man’s sinful flesh.
Whoever wants to be justified through the Law must keep the Ten Commandments perfectly in both word and deed. Anything short of perfection is considered unrighteous. Everyone fails this exam.
Then, God revealed His master plan: Yahweh the Son became a man to take the impossible exam on our behalf.
He lived a sinless life for thirty-three and a half years, and offered up Himself as our atoning sacrifice for sins. The blood He shed at the cross and His death perfectly fulfilled the Law for everyone.
Whoever wants to refer to His answers can just take His answers as their own and get full marks on their exam. When we place our faith in Jesus as Lord, we share in Jesus’ death, resurrection, and become a new creation in Christ. We are finally eligible to go home to our Abba God in Heaven!
It takes humility for a person to admit that he is a sinner that has no hope of deserving salvation by his own works. God is so holy that even one sinful thought can make you unrighteous. Perfection is needed. The way to be saved is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord!

Receive Divine, Sinless Life Through the Lord’s Supper
“For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life. Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, “No person among you may eat blood, nor may any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood.”” (Leviticus 17:11-12 WEB)
Even under the New Covenant, according to the letter that the apostles wrote to the ex-Gentile believers, we are instructed by the Holy Spirit to abstain from eating blood.
“For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things: that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”” (Acts 15:28-29 WEB)
God does not want us to feed on life that has been stained by sin.
There is only one person’s blood that we are told to drink:
“Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have life in yourselves. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me. This is the bread which came down out of heaven—not as our fathers ate the manna, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever.”” (John 6:53-58 WEB)
Many of Jesus’ ‘disciples’ left Him after hearing the words in the passage above. The Law said that the children of Israel were forbidden from eating blood. No wonder they found it difficult to believe that drinking Jesus’ blood was actually a godly thing to do.
The blood of Jesus is full of His divine, sinless life. Every time you partake of the Lord’s Supper in remembrance of His death at the cross, you receive a fresh infusion of His life.
The more you receive His blood this way, the more your soul and body will live.
This is not just heavenly food like manna—it is the very life of God.
Don’t rush through the Lord’s Supper. It is not like popping a pill, a mathematical formula, or a magical incantation.
The Lord’s Supper is a token of Jesus’ love for you. He has designed it such that every time you partake of it in a worthy manner, you receive His life. Enjoy the moment.
How much do you want to live and be full of life? Receive the blood of Jesus every day through the Lord’s Supper, and watch as health and healing springs forth mightily in your soul and body!
The Holy Spirit taught me about God’s youth renewal promises, and they are compiled in an ebook called “Younger and Younger”. Join me on a 31-day journey to a younger, healthier, fitter, and more beautiful you. People in the Bible like Sarah, Caleb, Moses, and Naaman experienced physical youth renewal in their bodies.
Readers of the ebook are writing in to share how people around them are noticing the transformation in their looks, and how they are able to do things that they could only do in their teenage days. The ebook is full of rhema words that contain the power to work miracles. The bonus audio included will help to saturate your heart with God’s youth renewal promises. One lady likes it so much that she listens to it a few times each day!

Our Willing and Generous Abba God
“He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’ and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’? I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”” (Luke 11:5-13 WEB)
Why do we need to be persistent in prayer when God is so willing to give good gifts to us?
God does everything under Heaven according to appointed times and seasons—a system of divine order.
While you are waiting for the time to arrive, He will prepare your heart and mouth to come into alignment with His plans, believing and speaking those things into manifestation.
So we pray persistently not because God is reluctant, but rather we are preparing ourselves for God’s appointed times and seasons.
Keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking…until the appointed time of deliverance arrives.
“But I’ve been praying for years and nothing has changed!” This statement shows unbelief. Sometimes people pray one thing and confess another. They declare they believe God has healed them but they complain to others how they are feeling so sick and in pain. The apostle James said that a double-minded man who does not ask in faith cannot expect to receive anything from God.
Is the manifestation not here yet? That means the appointed time has not arrived yet, so keep on praying. Abraham was promised a son, but it was only many years later that the fulfillment happened. I am not saying that your manifestation will take years, but there is a right time that only God knows.
In the meantime while you are waiting, meditate on the passage above and get a sense of how generous Abba God is towards you. He loves you and supplies your good heart’s desires through His Spirit.
If an unwilling friend will reluctantly give you what you keep asking for because of your persistence, then all the more Abba God will exceedingly and abundantly answer your prayer requests. Believe this and wait for the appointed time!
Learn how to flow with God’s system of times and seasons by which He plans every purpose under Heaven. You will experience unceasing fruitfulness and restful increase when you apply the revelations in “God’s Appointed Time”:

Though the plans for our house are complete, we still need to work out our driveway/deck/walkway, etc and have started consulting with a landscaper. Turns out these things are much more expensive than we were expecting (a very small patch of land with plain concrete paving for a single car plus a low-end carport above it, a small bit of fake grass, a mailbox atop some tile, and small shed cost someone else we know ~$30,000. Don't have the exact size but the total landscaped area is perhaps the size of 3 sedan cars). So far the quote we received (which already used many cheaper options and didn't include everything we were hoping to have) was still TWICE our budget, and so now we're trying to figure out ways to reduce the cost.

Hay yan hay yan in hoi yan
[Verse]
敞開我心中 隱藏的脆弱
Reveal every fragile place in my heart
渴望祢的愛 溫柔觸摸
Touch me with your gentle healing love
不想停留在 虛假偽裝中
I don’t want to stay behind a façade
祢完全接納 真實的我
You embrace it all, my every part
[Chorus 1]
因我受造 奇妙
I am wonderfully created
我心已深深知道
How deeply I know it’s true
披上神榮耀 外袍
Wrapped with glory from You, God
我將如星辰般閃耀
Shining as the stars above
[Chorus 2]
祢愛堅定 偉大
Strong and mighty is Your love
遠超乎全地之上
Reaching far above the earth
祢何等良善和美好
You are so good, so kind
配得一切頌讚誇耀
Worthy of all highest praise
[Bridge]
這愛正建造著我
Your love keeps building me up
充滿恩典 盼望 使我靈成熟
So my spirit nurtured by your grace and hope
活著已不再是我
It’s no longer my life to live
如今耶穌 是祢 在我裡面活
Jesus, You are now living inside of me
