A flashback of a diary entry written by Hanaya's mother as a young single mom. She pens down a prayer for her little Hanaya and commits herself to raising her as the Lord's girl.

What prayer would you pray for your precious little one and their future?

There is no greater gift that you can give your children than to walk alongside them and help them develop their relationship with Jesus. It is the most important relationship they will ever have. If you unconditionally surrender your children to the Lord and diligently do your part, God will lead them for His glory.

We don't train ourselves so we don't train our children. Everything you believe in has to be practical and applicable for your children. That means you yourself need to be fully convinced. Teach them how to engage with the Lord. For your kids, you should always present the supernatural to them. You should always give them the alternative to ask God for help first. Teach them to pray first. Teach them to believe God's Word first and encourage them not to wait for someone else to do it for them.
– Kevin Zadai

Raise your kids as lovers and warriors of the Lord who go on to finish the purposes of God in their generation.

Hanaya is led by the Holy Spirit to be at the right place at the right time to meet Enkhtuya, a girl from a small town in Mongolia. Two minutes into the conversation, Hanaya introduces her to the God of the endless blue sky. She unpacks more truth when she discerns Enkhtuya is actively listening.

Mongolia is poetically called the 'Land of the Endless Blue Sky', as it has over 260 days of clear blue sky. Apart from Buddhism, Tengrism the worship of the sky and nature is still practiced in Mongolia today. According to this belief, the skies are the father, and the earth is the mother of all beings in the universe.

This clip was inspired by a dream I was given in the night by the Lord. There was a moment in the dream where I was teleported to a foreign land and found myself walking on a snow-covered road. It looked like someplace in an Eurasian country. A girl who seemed 17-19 years old walked a little ahead of me. She looked sad. I moved closer and started talking to her. I told her just two or three things about God and His love. As she listened I could see that she was being deeply moved. She had never heard about God like this.

As I was about to go on my way, she said, “Why don’t you come to my place for some tea?”. She then gazed at the blue skies and said, “It’s a beautiful day!”. The blueness of the skies was quite amazing. I sensed she wanted to hear more about God. So I said okay.

You can read the rest of the dream on my website superdifferent.com. It's titled 'It's a beautiful day'.

Jesus sends Hanaya to Mongolia to carry out a mission. The darkness tries to intimidate her, but she doesn't back off.

This clip was inspired by a dream that my wife had in the night some time ago. In the dream, my wife and I were walking down a road minding our own business. We saw demonic forces releasing darkness over a place. We stopped and thought we must do something about it. We moved in the direction of the darkness. My wife rebuked the demonic forces. They started feeling uncomfortable and afraid. Then she heard a voice from behind saying, "You’re the Children of the Light".

It's pretty clear what the Lord was showing through this dream. If we never go, we will never know. If we don't show up and do something, the darkness remains unchallenged. There's no resistance. The enemy keeps stealing, killing, and destroying.

The light of the Gospel is to be lit in the dark. The enemy convinces us that it's too dark and too late to make a difference. He makes us overthink and doubt. So we hesitate to show up and do something.

Instead of counting the bullets that are coming at you, count how many you've expelled out of your clip. It's not how many are fired at you, it's how many you have fired. 
— Kevin Zadai

The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God. Jesus showed up and made the darkness nervous. He destroyed the works of the devil. When we show up, God shows up. Boldness and endurance come when you know that the Lord has sent you. You didn't go because it was a good idea. You heard Him.

Show up with your natural and spiritual gifting, maybe practical Kingdom solutions to problems, and seize the opportunities to share the Gospel. When you speak His Word, He backs it up, releasing hope, healing, deliverance, signs, and wonders. The yoke of darkness, fear, and hopelessness over people begins to break.

It's the smallest spark that can light the dark.

I don't want to be a firecracker. I want to be an atomic bomb dropped in the devil's camp.

Listen to Jesus preparing Hanaya's heart for selfless missions in an attention-wanting self-seeking world. He is calling the next generation of believers to pay the price to complete the mission of taking the Gospel to the ends of the earth. 

This clip was inspired by the title of the book 'Live to be Forgotten' by Patrick Fung (Former GD, OMF International). I haven't read the book but the phrase 'Live to be Forgotten' hits you hard in a time where there is so much love of self, even among the believers in Christ.

Will we go where He wants us to go?

My concern is that scripture has told us clearly that we are all to be going, and the reason the Lord left us behind is to do the job he told us to do. So we’d better get equipped to do it, instead of living this life as if this life is it. It’s not, this is a very short life. And eternal life is forever. We’re going to feel stupid for eternity if we wasted this one. — Jackie Pullinger

Even though in the very last days of history, the love of many will grow cold, there will be a people who have white-hot, not cold, love for Jesus in the face of hatred, persecution, and killing. The Great Commission will be completed by them. The price will be very high. Not so high that it is not worth it. It will not happen without the price of opposition and suffering. In fact, the price is not just the result but the strategy of the purpose.  — John Piper

We must close the gates to sin and compromise—even to tolerating lukewarmness. The Spirit of the Lord is preparing us to welcome the King of Glory through the gates and doors of our lives that have been sanctified.

A prayer by John Piper that God would bless our resolve to read His Word more this year and use it to draw us closer to Him in the process.

What's bothering you?
Are you still holding onto the pains of your past?
It's time to have a heart-to-heart talk with Jesus.

Listen to what Jesus reveals to Hanaya as she opens up her heart and tells Him what's been bothering her for a very long time.

Stop compromising. Jesus is saying it's time to raise the bar.
 
Hanaya: Lord, I wait for You. I watch for what you will say to me. Where do I need to be corrected? Give me eyes that see and ears that hear, the grace to love you back, to love what you love, and to hate what you hate. Many don't care how You feel. But I want to live and represent you rightly in a world of increasing ungodliness and declining moral clarity.

Listen to how Jesus responds and mentors Hanaya.

So, how do we live in times of increasing uncertainties and shaking?
What are we afraid of?

Two high school girls Hanaya and Yuri glance at the current state of the world, the uncertainties, the shaking, and make a conclusion of defiant hope.

There's an antidote to fear and anxiety. You can cultivate a state of mind conditioned by God's narrative, not by the calendar of the world, the current affairs, your circumstances, or the facts, no matter how dark and gloomy it looks.

Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light. See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
— Ephesians 5:14-17

Don't quit yet. Endure the contradiction. Don't hold on to things and relationships because of the fear of the unknown. It's time to let go of your own preferences. Get in alignment with God's agenda for your new assignment. Discern the next step. By faith move out of the previous season, even without clearly seeing what is ahead. The door is about to open. But you cannot continue being the same you for the new. Get ready!

Be encouraged and filled with hopeful expectations as you listen to Hanaya's resolve as she discerns the new season ahead.
