Days

wah... the past few days were filled with so many activities.. quite fun lah but also quite tiring.. i think i'll write about the significant things that happened...

Thursday
went for Christmas prac... quite fun lah.. playing the outro for "O Little Town" can be quite addictive...:P

Friday
went to help Rena and company decorate CHS for Sat's wedding, then had gatekeepers in the evening... We got to pray for youth camp!! I believe God wants to do several things in the youth camp (which is tomorrow)..

The Lord wants to refresh and revive us.. i believe that many times that's what we go to youth camp for.. but there's more! I believe that the Lord wants to pour out His fire upon the leaders during this camp and to bring breakthrough into our lives. He wants to deal with the issues that have been keeping us from Him... Of course, He also wants to do a deeper work in the hearts of everyone else in the ministry and to purge us with fire so we can be as light for Him!

If the firstfruits are holy, then the whole batch is holy...

The Lord wants to rebuke the devourer and to award to us back seven times what the enemy has stolen. It's time that the enemy stops stealing money, time, energy, resources and all other things that keep us from experiencing the fullness that God has for us!

The Lord also wants to call forth the treasures that He has deposited within people, the riches of His glorious inheritance within us. I believe He wants to call forth giftings and he also wants to call ppl to serve Him. During the worship prac we had on tuesday, I just sensed that angels came into the place.. angels with trumpets as well as the heavenly hosts lifting up flags before Him. I believe that many of us are called to serve the Lord among the nations. I pray that during this camp many of us will be released into our destiny.

I really pray that God will open up our eyes, our spiritual eyes during this camp. We need His vision to keep going forward...

Saturday
Rena's wedding... quite tiring lah but it's great to see my spiritual mom finally getting married!!! Seems that God really brought Rena and Ben together...

Sunday
New team in the morning as usual, den went for second service. Pastor George Kutty preached. In the middle of his sermon, he knelt down and started praying for the nations. He didn't even use and flowery language; he was just mentioning the countries before the Lord by Name. While he was praying, i started to weep at the back of the church praying with him in my spirit. I was impressed at the spirit of prayer that he had and i told the Lord that i also wanted that kind of a spirit of prayer. My heart has to grow bigger. I should stop confining God to the tiny walls of my own ministry or my own church... He is the God of the nations and all the nations must fear Him cos He's real.. My heart has to reflect how large He is... I want God to enlarge my heart and enlarge my vision. The bible says that we can ask God for the nations... Lord, I want the nations!!!

By the way, if you're reading this, if you actually listened to the service, Ps Kutty actually mentioned what getting plugged in means...hehe... anyway, stayed back in church for meeting den went to help abel do camp stuff until quite late.. was in church the whole day..haha

Monday
A day really worth blogging about...

Woke up as usual to do a bit of arts and crafts before preparing myself to go for the wedding. Anyway, my mind was preoccupied with something that i found out that was bothering me.. the Holy Spirit was prompting me to just surrender it lah but it was like i was obsessed with thinking about it that it was robbing me of my joy... When i finally came to my senses, i just committed it unto the Lord.. haiz.. many times Holy Spirit tries to speak but we don't listen cos we always want to do things our way...

Anyway, while doing some art and craft, i played some songs on the com which the Lord has impressed upon my heart for the camp.. Then the presence of God came and i started weeping and started to commit the camp in prayer.. The Lord was speaking to my heart that we really need to know/understand how valuable He is. Jesus is our treasure... He's far worth more than all the pleasures of life.. more than studies, more than computer games, more than relationships... He's far more valuable... Lemme tell u a secret... If u learn to recognise how valuable Jesus is, u'll also know how valuable u are! :)

This morning also had dripping nose.. den guess wad... got no more tissue around... so i eventually exercised my faith and rebuked the running nose in Jesus' Name... It stopped running again like that time i was on the bus =D.. din have to do it a second time.. He's a real and practical God.. I'm bought by the blood of Jesus... the healing's mine..=D Thank God..

Anyway, went early for Rena's wedding dinner... really thank God that i arrived at the place before the heavy downpour.. God knows i hate carrying umbrellas :/ ... Anyway, on the bus, was worshipping the Lord in my heart with the song "Be Thou my Vision" (see prev post).. it also happened to be Rena's Bridal procession song on sat.. I find that the song really speaks a lot about what God has been speaking to me personally, regarding the camp and what He wants to do and all.. just go and look at the lyrics..it's one of my favourite hymns.. Anyways, while worshipping God in the bus, the Holy Spirit was there and i started to tear... good thing the bus went inside the tunnel and that i was sitting at the back section... otherwise very pai seh... :P

SO BLESSED!!! =D
