The most exciting day!
Woke up at 8:30 this morning, knowing tht i am gonna be late for this little conference i am havin in church at 9. without having anytime to have breakfast i simply had a cup of milo n a piece of tossed to go. wasnt really excited abt it, coz i was till half awake.
when we reach there, seems like we were not too late after all. n then realise tht no one was playing the drums today,n of course it all came to me...i was havin butterflies in my stomach i simply cant do it without practise. but then thank God uncle charlie came, i neednt to worry after all.
ok, here's the exciting part. this pastor steven teo from australia, heard he was quite good when he came earlier of the year while i was still back in m'sia. he's topic was "holy spirit". u can feel the 'ummph' juz by hearing the title.
his msg was good n simple enough to remember. he's really a gifted evangelist. i was simply moved by his preaching, n he helped me to understand more abt holy spirit, something essential to all christians. it's such a waste i din write the notes down, maybe i shud borrow from shi ern. anyway, i still havent get to THE MOST EXCITING part yet..
after the 1st session, we had an alter call, for those who wanna receive the holy spirit in their lives. very powerful n moving. then break then the 2nd session. after the 2nd session...."dang dang dang dang"... we had a practise!! we were broken into groups n everyone had to take turn to stand in the circle to be prayed for n prophesied. this is to exercise our spiritual authority. i was the 1st one, but no one really dared to say a thing(aside from speaking in tongue), simply becoz i think they were nervous n most of them were quite young christian. but then the pastor came n gave me a verse, which was crucial to me...1 timothy 4:12. "let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity" he commanded me to take charge n take control!! the verse was exactly the same verse we had for our youth outreach group.n juz the other day, i was praying, asking God who is the best person to be the leader. deep inside i wanted to, i want to in charge of the youth group, but i dare not....i mean, who am i??.....now, i felt tht the Lord is trying to tell me something....can u sense wat i sense?....
anyway, after me, shi ern was next. i prophesied. i prophesied to almost eveyone in our group. which was really cool...i had this practise long long time ago in LRC, n i loved it! i always love to prophesy. this links back to the prophecy i had last year, becoming a prophet. man!! am i excited or wat??!!
it's great to be used by God. whenever the holy spirit fills me, my whole body will shake...it's simply awesome!! how nice if this can last for the rest of the day, i havent had enough!! now i am so wanting to leave everything behind n juz go full time for Him. He's marvelous!
thank u Jesus.
