The Three Groanings
“For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now. Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees? But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience. In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered. He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.” (Romans 8:20-27 WEB)
Firstly, the whole creation is groaning due to the fall that happened when Adam sinned. Sin brought death into the world, and death is producing all these groanings that show that creation is suffering.
God never designed for animals to harm man, and insects (such as mosquitoes) never bit Adam and Eve in the garden. Every creature, including man, was herbivorous, eating plants and fruits.
“God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food. To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so.” (Genesis 1:29-30 WEB)
After Adam, the appointed ruler of earth, ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil against God’s command, that sin caused all of Adam’s subjects and kingdom to experience death and fall under a curse.
Ever since, the earth has been groaning, suffering from the effects of sin. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes—these are some manifestations of the earth’s groans.
Animals, insects, and birds attacking humans, plants producing poisons, these are also part of creation’s groans.
Secondly, we believers who have the indwelling Holy Spirit groan because we feel all the limitations and imperfections of this mortal body that has been corrupted by sin.
We who know about the Rapture eagerly long for the redemption of our body. Imagine a body that can never die or be destroyed. It never feels suffering, tiredness, or weakness, and can appear and disappear at will, traveling across the world in an instant, passing through solid objects at ease if needed to. This are just some of the amazing capabilities of the glorified body that is promised to us. Jesus demonstrated these after He rose from the dead.
God knows that we are groaning within, and that the sinful flesh makes us limited and weak at times. Our spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. To combat this, God gave us the greatest gift after Jesus’ ascension: the indwelling Holy Spirit.
The Spirit prays for the solutions to our most urgent needs that even we are unaware of, and He does so through groans that cannot be uttered.
Even though the Spirit does not pray with intelligible words, Abba God knows what is in the Spirit’s mind, and He takes that as perfect prayer in accordance with His own will.
These are the three groanings. The first came because of sin, the second because of patiently waiting for the final part of redemption, and the third is God’s gracious help to us while we are still waiting.
How wonderful it is to know that the Holy Spirit is offering up perfect prayers for you, even when you do not know the right things to pray for.
“Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.” (Romans 8:34 WEB)
In the same chapter, we find that Jesus who is in Heaven is also praying for us.
We have the Holy Spirit praying for us from earth, and we have Jesus praying for us from Heaven. This is according to Abba God’s will, and it is perfect.
“What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:31-32 WEB)
The triune God is for you, not against you. The world was corrupted by sin, but God’s heart is not to destroy or condemn the world, but to save it.
He has already provided the perfect atonement through the blood that Jesus shed at the cross. God is using all His power to give you a glorious future, so put your faith in Him!
You don’t have to feel helpless or afraid…God has given you powerful spiritual weapons to use in spiritual warfare. In “Silencing the Serpent”, you will discover what these weapons are, what the enemy’s tactics are, and how you can break free from longtime addictions, bondages, and unhelpful beliefs: https://bit.ly/silence-the-serpent-now

SPEAKING PART 3 - INTERNATIONAL TOURISM
Cùng học IELTS mỗi ngày qua những chia sẻ hữu ích trên IELTS Thanh Loan nào! Hôm nay, cô sẽ chia sẻ với bạn bài mẫu Speaking Part 3 cho topic ‘International Tourism’ xuất hiện trong Cam 16 Test 1 nhé. Share để lưu lại và học thôi <3
-------------------
⭐ Why is tourism important to a country?
In my opinion, tourism is the key to any country because it is lucrative. When a country attracts flocks of tourists, it can benefit from the extravagant spending of international tourists who are willing to splurge on entertainment activities and restaurants. You know, some people are willing to live on the breadline for months to set aside enough money for an overseas trip. Also, the development of global travel means that more employment opportunities are created. Local people can work as tour guides, open their own business or simply sell local cuisines to earn a living.
⭐ What are the benefits to individuals visiting another country as tourists?
As for tourists, firstly, they benefit from cultural knowledge gained during the trips. Every experience is more practical and realistic in comparison with things they read on books or on the internet. They can also have once-in-a-lifetime memories. For example, visiting Thailand was the first time I enjoyed sex shows which are deemed to be antisocial or even illegal in Vietnam. Secondly, tourists can boost their language skills if their visits are long enough.
⭐ How necessary is it for tourists to learn the language of the country they're visiting?
I think nowadays, learning the language of the country you are going to visit is no longer necessary. One day, when I was having dinner in an outlet in a supermarket, a Chinese tourist asked me about how to eat a Vietnamese cuisine. I was shocked because some online applications such as Google Translate could easily make our language barriers vanished. I mean if you are able to communicate with indigenous people in their language, so it's really fantastic. But if not, don't worry because technology has revolutionized everything, including this circumstance.

CÂU HỎI & BÀI MẪU IELTS SPEAKING - CHỦ ĐỀ SPORTS
Các bạn tham khảo chi tiết ở đây:https://ielts-thanhloan.com/goc-tu-van/speaking-topic-sports.html
1. Do you like sports?
Yes, I’m really keen on sports. I hit the gym club on a daily basis and have my personal trainer help me reach my fitness goal. By taking part in some activities at the gym like running or riding bicycle, I also refresh my mind and recharge my battery.
2. Do you often watch sports on TV?
To be honest, watching sport is not really my cup of tea because I find it rather boring. Moreover, as I’m always busy with my work and study, I spare my leisure time to pursue other interests like listening to American music or going shopping.
3. What is the most popular sport in your country?
In my country, football is the most common sport activity and it acquires its reputation for The King of Sports. Two teams will defend in a football pitch, try to take possession of the ball, pass it to the teammates and aim to score a goal. They also try to avoid injuries and booking. People prefer football than any kinds of sports because of the animating atmosphere it brings back.
4. Do you prefer watching or playing sports?
Absolutely I’d prefer engaging in some sport activities rather than to sit in a dump place to watch others having fun. Firstly, playing sports helps us to keep fit and stay healthy. Secondly, it also enhances people’s competitiveness to win a match. Finally, I believe that sports also teach us about discipline to play fair and how to cooperate with other people to blow a competition away.
5. Are boys and girls interested in the same sports?
Obviously there are outstanding differences in the sports activities that both genders are keen on participating in. For boys, they are into some strenuous sports like volleyball, badminton to build up their strength and muscle. However, girls are big fans of some relaxing activities like yoga or ballet to get into shape and stay healthy.
6. Do you often exercise?
I used to be a couch potato, but then I gain a lot of weight, making me unable to put on any of my favorite clothes. And this had pushed me to hit the gym every day to lose the pounds. I has stuck with it for about few months now and the result is so amazing! I can be confident with my body again now.
7. How do you exercise?
When going to the gym, the very first step that I need to take is to do some warm up by stretching, bending over and doing jumping jack. After this stage, I will work out very intensely with some exercises like deadlift or squat, which can put my muscles in pain for the first few days.
8. Will you exercise in the future?
Yes, definitely. I will take up football, which is the type of sport that I have always wanted to try. I’ll start it by practicing controlling the ball with my legs, and then I will find a friend who plays semi-professionally and ask him to teach me in more details. If I do well with it, maybe I will join in a local football club.

FIRSTLY? We are TERRIBLY sorry that the FIRST 8 minutes of audio was GONE! Omg. That's just horrible. Achilles and I were going on and on. I do apologise on our LIVE end.
Truth be told, I wasn't 100% that day. I was actually down with fever due to mastitis but as the saying goes, "the show must go on" and I was pretty excited to be talking to my guest. Azmi had to man the fort with a cranky baby at the back (our helper is stuck in her hometown due to the unfortunate floods, so we told her to settle matters. And then MCO 2.0 took place. So, we are WFH-livestreaming with 4 young kids all at home and a very sick me. Go figure! LOL)
Anyway, here was my first part of what I was (trying to say)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Covid-19 pandemic caused a projected loss of 195 million jobs, interruptions to education and a disproportionate impact on vulnerable groups. The nature of work and careers is changing fast. I’ve heard some say that it’s not the virus that scares them, but the uncertainties that lies ahead.
2020 has given employers and companies reshaped their hiring practices while employees rapidly had to adapt, upskill and reskill, as well as practice resiliency and hone on their entrepreneurial mindsets ,to respond to the reality of either a salary cut or worst, layoffs or to close their business due to the downturn.
As we enter into our 2nd week of 2021, with the uncertainties still looming, I’m pretty sure many of you are keen to know how others have strived despite the challenges. So today, I’m delighted to speak to Achilles Sureen, Senior Lead – Culture & Employee Engagement, AirAsia to share how he managed to fly by, when aviation was hit badly, in 2020.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you Achilles for being such an inspiration. I learnt so much from our short 'lunch date'. I hope mum and my dad meets each other and can have a glass of wine to celebrate your wonderfulness.
Thanks Angelica and JobStreet Malaysia for arranging this interview. Can't wait for the next one with Ramesh!

0:25 Forex Trading Tip #1
Enter your trades near market structure. So let me share with you how not to do it, right? So firstly, right, often, traders will look at a chart, right. So, let's say, for example, the red one here is your stop loss. The green one is your entry point. And the blue one is your, so-called take profit level. So, traders, they will see this chart, and they say, oh, man, the price is, you know, coming down, lower and lower. Let me, you know, hop on board before you know, I miss the move.
2:51 Forex Trading Tip #2
The second tip is this, right, is that you want to trade breakouts with buildup. So what is buildup, right? Let me explain. For those of you who have been following me a while now, you're already a pro at this. So a buildup means, right, a tight consolidation where the range of the candles gets smaller and smaller. So you can see that over here, this blue box, this is what we call a buildup over here.
4:10 Forex Trading Tip #3
This is a sign of strength that a market is likely to breakout higher. Another variation of this, right, is what we call higher lows into resistance. This is a sign of strength, as well. Notice, you see the higher lows, higher lows, higher lows, higher lows, into resistance. The concept is somewhat similar to the buildup, but this time 'round, it's telling you that buyers are willing to buy at this higher price instead. It's why you see higher lows into resistance. Right, so this is also another sign of strength, right.
4:28 Forex Trading Tip #4
The fourth tip that I want to share with you is what I call the first pullback. So often, right, the price, it can break out. And if it breaks out, right, you might have missed the move, right, if you didn't catch the breakout. But don't worry, because more often than not, right, the price will give you a chance to re-enter, to catch the trend.
5:23 Forex Trading Tip #5
The fifth thing that I want to share with you is to set your stop loss, right, away from market structure, because often, what traders do is that let's say, the market is in a range, okay? They go long, right, and price hits up higher, they go long over here. Where do they put their stop loss? They put their stop loss just below this level of support. And what happens? Well, the market could just as well come down lower, trigger your stop loss, and then continue higher. So this is why, right, you don't want to put your stop loss just below support, or just above resistance.
7:22 Forex Trading Tip #6
The sixth tip that I want to share with you is entry technique, right, to profit from traders who long breakout, and then they got trapped. Here's how it works. So this is what I call the false break set-up. So you can see that over here, area of resistance, resistance, market broke out of resistance on this candle. You can imagine, right, that actually at one point in time, this candle was looking bullish, something like this, okay?
9:16 Forex Trading Tip #7
And the last tip that I want to share with you is this, right. Use limit order for a better risk-to-reward on our trades. So let me share with you an example. So you can see over here, alright, this is a chart of Euro Yen for our timeframe. How do I know that, because it's over here. Okay, so, this is a very typical set-up that traders will trade prices at an area of support, right? Coming to an area of support, right. Now this step once, twice, you can mark up your support level. It's going to be quite obvious. And then, this bullish reversal candle is so bullish, right? You suddenly just hit a massive reversal, and close near this highs over here.
Check out my website, download these two books, right, click this blue button, and I'll send it to your email address for free, right? And that's it, right. If you've enjoyed this video, right, leave thumbs-up button, yeah, right? Subscribe to my channel. And if you have any questions for me, let me know below, and I'll do my best to help.

Casio reached out to me to test out their digital piano/keyboard series and I am really excited about this collaboration! This time round, I am trying out the PX-160 Digital Piano.
