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!

How to Have God’s Faith
“Jesus replied, “Let the faith of God be in you! Listen to the truth I speak to you: If someone says to this mountain with great faith and having no doubt, ‘Mountain, be lifted up and thrown into the midst of the sea,’ and believes that what he says will happen, it will be done.” (Mark 11:22-23 TPT)
In the passage above, Jesus said the “faith of God” and not “faith in God”. If we want to perform mighty miracles like casting a mountain into the sea, we will need to receive God’s own faith.
“For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.” (Romans 12:3 WEB)
You see, there is the measure of faith that God already gave to us in the past, and also God’s own faith that He gives to believers at appointed timings.
The former is the one that we keep free from unbelief through daily renewing of the mind, while the latter is more powerful because it is pure and guaranteed to mightily prosper in its intended purpose.
“But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all. For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the same Spirit; and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; to another different kinds of languages; and to another the interpretation of languages. But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.” (1 Corinthians 12:7-11 WEB)
Faith is one of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit. He distributes this “faith of God” at times. Every believer can receive this.
To understand when this God-faith comes, we have to know the delivery system:
“Faith, then, is birthed in a heart that responds to God’s anointed utterance of the Anointed One.” (Romans 10:17 TPT)
Many English Bible translations do a poor job of translating the verse above. They stray from the original Greek meaning. However, I like the translation I quoted above.
The words translated as “anointed utterance” in Greek is “rhematos” which means “a spoken word”. “The Anointed One” is Christou, which is Christ.
“Rhematos Christou” is not referring to God’s written Scriptures in general. That one would be the logos word, or “what God has said before”. The rhema word is talking about what Christ is currently actively saying to you through His Spirit inside you.
When Jesus speaks a rhema word to you, it carries God’s authority. When you hear and act upon that word, the “faith of God” is imparted to you for mighty power to be released. This is when miracles and breakthroughs flow.
Let us see this in action:
“Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.” He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.” (Matthew 14:28-29 WEB)
Jesus said “Come,” and this rhema word carried the authority for Peter to transcend the natural laws of nature. When Peter heard the command and acted upon it, the “faith of God” was imparted to him, empowering him to walk on the waters.
You may be surprised by this, but even Jesus depended on the rhema word from His Father during His earthly ministry.
“Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise. For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.” (John 5:19-20 WEB)
Before doing any miracle, Jesus first received the rhema word from the Father, and He simply obeyed, acting upon what the Father showed Him.
When Jesus acted upon the rhema word, God’s power flows because the authority, faith, and will of God are working in perfect synergy.
It is therefore most crucial that we ask the Lord to give us the rhema word for our situation. To receive it, you can calm your emotions and pray about your situation, listening in silence to see what the Holy Spirit brings to your attention.
Other than that, sometimes He uses your pastor or Christian friend to speak divinely inspired words to you. The Holy Spirit is the source of the rhema word. The way He delivers it isn’t the most important thing, so be open to however He chooses to convey the rhema word to you.
When it comes, grab hold of it in your heart, and act upon it, for it is the key to unlock God’s supernatural provision in your situation!
The 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ in the four gospels show us God’s heart of love and Grace towards us. As you explore them in “Messiah’s Miracles”, faith will arise in your heart to receive miraculous breakthroughs in your own life: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

【你的體重決定了你的財運】
Your Weight Determines Your Wealth Luck
我過去一年因常熬夜製片,飲食不當,荷爾蒙失調,一年內從53公斤直逼61+公斤,體脂更是超過31%
有的人,是胖得可愛。
我是胖得⋯⋯連西裝褲都穿不下。
每個人的八字有個特定的體重範圍。
在這個範圍內,財運亨通。
超過或低過這個範圍,財路多阻。
我的性格屬於行動派,不喜歡矯情。
我要的快樂,不用人催,我自己就會去爭取。
我常告訴客人,不要固執己見,要改變自己。
如果我自己遇到問題,卻不肯向內改變,那我豈不是個偽君子嗎?
所以在七月,我聯絡了台灣的營養師,人生第一次踏上減脂之路,把荷爾蒙調好。
從七月到今天,兩個半月的時間,我瘦了六公斤,但體脂還要再努力,醫師定了22%為目標。
有很多疑難雜症,尤其是婦女病,不是中西醫都看就能醫好,反而得通過飲食調整,才能把病因連根拔起。
因此給我批過八字的客人,都會些許驚訝,為何我特別強調飲食改運。
因為,營養學和八字學有許多共通的知識。
吃得對,自然會健康。
而我主張,不只要吃得對,更要吃得旺,財富貴人才會輕輕鬆鬆滾進來啊,滾進來~ 😂😂😂
送上今早晨運的照片,恭喜自己改運成功!我們一起再接再厲,旺到七彩繽紛!🎉
——————————————————
Due to my endless late nights for video production and poor dietary habits, my hormones went haywire and my weight catapulted from 53kg to over 61kg. My body fat percentage shot to over 31% too.
Some people are chubby in an adorable way.
For me, I can’t even zip up my work pants.
Every one of us has a specific weight range that is most ideal for us, based on our Bazi.
When you are in the range, you are in the prosperous mode.
Out of it, your wealth paths get blocked.
I am a “action speaks louder than words” kind of person.
If I want a kind of happiness, I will go chase after it without needing anyone to hurry me.
I often tell my clients not to be stubborn and resist changing themselves.
If I meet with a problem, yet am unwilling to change from inward, then wouldn’t that make me a hypocrite?
Thus in July, I contacted a nutritionist in Taiwan and for the first time in my life, stepped on my fat-loss journey and to reset the balance in my hormones.
Two and a half months later, I had shed 6kg, but I still got to work harder to push my fat percentage down to the 22% goal set by the doctor.
Many ailments, especially women’s health issues, cannot be resolved, despite seeking the help of TCM or western doctors. In such cases, it calls for a change in lifestyle and dietary habits to nip the problem at the bud.
Most of my Bazi clients are usually surprised by my emphasis on destiny transformation via their choice of food.
There are many intricate links between your Bazi and your nutritional intake.
Eat right and you will naturally be healthy.
I say not only do we need to eat right, more importantly we must eat auspiciously to attract more wealth and benefactors effortlessly.
This pic was taken during my morning walk today. A pat on my back for a successful transformation! Let’s strive on together to more prosperity! 🎉

好想出國玩,前陣子好不容易開放的帛琉旅遊旅遊泡泡,立刻變成泡沫,無法真的出國的我們,就來聽聽海島達人官心妮的潛水遊記吧!讓你邊玩邊學英文~讓心妮告訴你更多帛琉探險的故事,這次帶大家線上冒險水母湖~兩天的live podcast 大成功,謝謝一起參與的粉絲朋友們!4/14節目英文內容的如下,可以搭配官式姊妹的音檔一起看喔~
✨4/14 Let’s party in Jellyfish Lake!
Of all the marine lakes in Palau, Jellyfish Lake serves as the most extraordinary natural wonder which attracts tourists from all over the world to witness this spectacle every year. With a short walk through the hiking trail and snorkeling gears in hand , both adults and children can have the ultimate swimming experience with millions of golden jellyfish.
Jellyfish Lake used to be connected to the ocean through tunnels and fissures;However, it gradually become isolated from the open sea owing to tectonic plate movement. Being separated from the sea, the lack of natural predators makes the jellyfish evolve into non-venomous creatures.
As most species of jellyfish in the sea can inject lethal toxins into their prey by using tentacles with lots of stinging cells and jeopardize the life of swimmers, it's self-explanatory that jellyfish lake tour can gain such great popularity among travelers.

How to be creative? You have to find inspiration, it doesn't find you.
1) I really have to care about the subject because if I don't, it's hard for me to tap into my subconscious to allow inspiration to happen. Caring about someone and something is personal. More often than not, it's a form of responsibility for me. Other times, it's pure fun and entertainment. So, if your job is to be creative, find a reason and conviction for the project at hand because caring about the project is your source of energy, so you may be brave to take the lead to dive deep into the abyss of the creative unknown.
2) If you are scared? Find inputs. Do research. Consciously feeding my subconscious mind is one of the most important steps I do for staying creative. Nothing is original. Every original man-made creation is an inspiration from everyday life, an alchemy of great ideas, or a hybrid of someone else's work. That is just the way it is.
3) Tap into your subconscious. Take time for it. Take a walk. Go for a jog. Take a shower. Now we talk about science. Our subconscious mind is the most active when we are relaxed. Our conscious mind pays attention to information all around us at the moment, but our subconscious mind contains the other 99% of the information we have come across in our entire lives. Such a powerful machine, why not tap into it? Now we wonder how many of the great ideas we know today were conceived while sitting on the toilets.
