The Underground Mosque, known as Sumur Gumuling”, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia was built upon a circular well in 1750. The building is totally underground, surrounding the well (sumur). Four stairways above the well meets at the center, forming a small stage and a fifth staircase leads to the upper second floor. These stairways symbolizes the Five Islamic Principles, the highest staircase referring to the pilgrimage to Mecca for Muslims. The Imam would stand on the small stage formed by the set of stairways, taking advantage of the excellent acoustics of the circular building to deliver his sermon. The mosque is part of the greater complex of Taman Sari, where underground tunnels link to the Royal Palace, the Water Castle, a pleasure bath complex for the Sultan, his family and concubines and to the South Java Sea. Many of the tunnels are closed for safety reasons. Much restoration work need to be done in this Complex before it can be officially be listed as an UNESCO Heritage Site.

I have been there and this place is REALLY great and cool.

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” (Romans 12:2, NIV)

If you watch television for any length of time, it won’t be long before you see products and pills advertised to make you thinner, smarter, younger looking, more successful and ultimately claim to change your life. But the truth is all you need in order to change your life is already in your hand. God has given you the ability and the power to be transformed into the person He created you to be.

I heard somebody said, “Sight has to do with what we can see, but vision has to do with what we can be.” The reason some people are stuck at the same level is because their vision is limited. They don’t see themselves growing, increasing, being promoted or getting healthier. All they see is more of the same. More lack. More struggle. More defeat. They’re producing what they’re seeing.

Friend, don’t let that be you! Instead, let the Word of God wash over you and renew your thinking. See yourself the way God sees you. See yourself rising higher. See yourself becoming stronger, healthier and wiser. Change the picture you have of your life, and you will change your life. See yourself the way God sees you and receive the wonderful blessings He has in store for your future!
