Winds of Change

Hello everyone! I'm back from my break... i can't believe i didn't post that long... was quite busy the whole of last week lah but i wasn't stressed.. really got through the whole week by God's grace.. And I'm gonna recall it all so that all will know that my God is real and that I've not missed one week of His reality in my life! There's a bible verse that says something like "forget not all His benefits".. so here's a recap of what's been happening...

Friday March 23
Went for Gatekeepers in the evening and we had a record of 17 ppl show up during the meeting! Usually prayer meetings are the ones least attended but this time we saw quite a number lah.. that means that God is on the move! As i mentioned at the last GK post, the angel has tipped over the prayer bowl... that means revival is coming... One of the things that the Lord reminded me during the time of prayer is that before He enlarges our tents, He has to enlarge our hearts first.. think about it.. revival starts with us! :)

Saturday March 24
Had worship prac and youth service in the afternoon... Uncle Paul shared on how to present John 3:16.. After the worship, i closed my eyes and i saw a whirlwind, kinda like what my phone screensaver shows... and it talks about the winds of change that are coming, the wind of the Holy Spirit moving in our midst! Hmmm.. can you imagine that.. i actually chose my handphone theme and wallpaper cos i thought they were nice.. little did i know that God would speak through them to confirm His message for this hour.. but that's not the point. The point here is to hear and understand that message... And may God give us eyes that see and ears that hear to be able to know the messages He conveys to us in everyday life! :)

Sunday March 25
had new team in the morning and den followed by servers cell during the 2nd service timeslot... i enjoyed Uncle Paul's message on Ecclesiastes cos it ties in with what the Lord has been speaking to me in my personal life as well... Anyway, we spent some time praying for each other and Uncle Paul prayed that i would be humble and be submissive... and **a*** released a word over me that she saw me like a flower blooming open.. and this flower thing is something that i've been talking about since the beginning of this year! When she started praying i felt the anointing coming upon me so strongly lah.. if you're reading this, thx for praying! :)

Had servers meeting after cell and we discussed the issue of calling for a corporate fast.. it's settled then.. according to where the Lord is leading us, we will go forward.. so everyone reading this, it's offical already-

We're gonna have a season of 40 days prayer and fasting in the monts of May and June leading up to the worship camp.. this is for everyone in the ministry, not just the leaders! It's to prepare us for what God's gonna do and God's really gonna do something!!! I'm excited! Are you?? :)

So anyway, after the meeting, we had our skit prac and we dismissed early cos by then the guys were already like 85% ready liao.. they're super zai and they pick up their roles quite well...hahaha God's grace is really upon us lah! Praise the Lord! :)

Monday March 26
I rested most of my free day away lah.. but i got one assignment done in the evening.. i realised that my concession pass was about to expire so i decided to head down to the MRT station to renew it in the evening.. to cut a long story short, there was a weirdo who was kinda following me.. how did i know he's a weirdo? Cos when i first glanced at him, that's what came to my spirit.. (i'm writing this so those reading may know how some spiritual gifts operate... the gift of discerning of spirits) so anyway, i pretended to not notice him around, den i went to station control and they let me through the barrier and out the back door.. haha... well thank God for protecting me and for allowing my spiritual senses to function! :)

Tuesday March 27
Had my usual long day and got a pair of new shoes after that... i'm gonna blog a separate post about it cos believe it or not, during the revival meeting on sat, the Lord was telling me the prophetic significance of how i got my shoes.. haha.. stay tuned! :) Got another assignment done in the evening... :)

Wednesday March 28
On my way to school in the morning, while i was on the bus, i just had this sensation of love towards the country of Indonesia.. and so guess wad happened next... the Spirit of intercession hit me- right there and then on the bus! It was hard to hide my teary face lah but that's that... i enjoyed myself in the presence of God anyway... Didn't go for prayer meeting cos i had 2 more assignments to clear and by the grace of God, i cleared one that night! :)

Thursday March 29
Had school as usual... Had Spinelli's in the morning at university hall.. it was officially the first time i had it during the sem cos last sem i went there at least once every week.. Had one more assignment to clear so wanted to get home early... i was contemplating when i should go for a haircut cos i needed one badly and my schedule for the next few days was quite busy.. den the Holy Spirit gave me some wisdom and it occured to me that i could just have my haircut that very afternoon! [which i did, praise the Lord! :) ] haha.. anyway, while having a haircut, the Holy Spirit impressed upon me to go to Seiyu and get a new wallet.. cos i've been wanting to change my wallet for quite some time now and didn't really have the opportunity.. but this time, it was the wisdom of God.. so i went there and found one that i liked.. :) And so guess wad.. you think after all that activity, Christian didn't get to do his assignment in the end?? If you thought so, you're wrong! Cos the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord! and in the time of great stress and chaos, those who abide in Him still know how to enjoy! :) I cleared my last assignment that evening! So i didn't have to rush around on friday at all and i had time to attend...

Friday March 30
LIFE CONCERT!!! I went to school as usual and liz drove jonas, evan and i down to SAV after school! It was nice to see the rest of my batchmates and even my juniors and catch up with them. The concert went well and it seemed to be getting more and more intense each year.. there were even a significant number of people from other schools who attended lah.. :) Well anyways, God spoke to me through the concert too.. and even the speaker's message was in line with what God has been speaking to me the entire year.. he shared on John 10:10 as did one of the pastors during the Prayer Convocation... Went home that evening with Chao Yuan.

Though the entire week was very packed for me, i still managed to go through it by God's grace.. so here's a big thank You to my Daddy who saw me through everything... You've given me wisdom to handle my assignments and to write well. You've given me good time management and i even had time to go shopping! You've given me strength that lasted me even during the late nights of typing! You've given me joy and peace through it all and i wasn't overcome with stress! Thank You Daddy! Thank You Jesus for staying with me! Thank You Holy Spirit for guiding me along! Thank You, thank You, thank You! :) I pray that Sojourners would learn from my life and will experience the fulness of life in You, even in busy times, especially in busy times. In Jesus Name, Amen! :)

Saturday March 31
Met Lele early in the morning.. suppose to have LG outing lah but only Lele could make it.. so anyway, we went down to SKS and the Lord impressed upon me certain things about Lele also lah... it was a fruitful time.. didn't get to buy what Lele wanted but i finally got the book that i was looking for: Prophetic Evangelism by Mark Stibbe... i wanted to read it cos i believe that the face of evangelism is gonna change.. it's gonna be accompanied with a demonstration of God's love and power! Hallelujah! :)

After that we got to watch TMNT movie at cine and then we went a while to Borders to look at comics (my idea, not his...:P) den had some turkish ice cream...haha.. we had a lot of time so when i got to church, joined the worship team a while and got to teach Lele and Gid some flags... they pick it up quite fast! :)

Joined Auntie Ivy's team for worship that night and guess wad.. there was something nice and different about the anointing.. if you ask me, here's one of the reasons why it was so powerful- cos there were both adults and youths serving on the team. Auntie Ivy was actively engaging the youths and as a results of that unity among the generations, there was the anointing! The Lord told me last year that before revival comes, as before the coming of Jesus, the spirit of Elijah is gonna come to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers.. so here we see it being manifested in a way... :)

During the worship, God showed me a whirlwind (again!) which is symbollic of the changes that are gonna happened.. and i was reminded how a whirlwind operates.. when hot air below connects and forms a channel with hot air above- and the place was definitely hot with the praise and worship forming a channel to heaven! With our intercession ascending, how can God not move? :) And guess wad pastor Aow shared on during that night? Prayer. That's what we've been sharing in new team, and what pastor james shared the last revival meeting, and what rev fred abeysekara also shared... everyone, see and weigh this for yourselves and know that God is speaking! Oh and during the worship, i also saw a winding path ahead of me and the Lord said "I have prepared the way for you already." I have no idea what that means or how that applies in my immediate context but it's real and i'll just have to wait and see how God unfolds it.. maybe if u have an interpretation, dun hesitate to email me or smth...

So let's all fast and pray ladies and gentlemen! Remember that in may we're having a 40-day prayer focus when the whole ministry is gonna fast and pray and it's gonna lead right to the worship camp! :) Hallelujah!

Sunday April 1
So many changes happened in 1 single day!
wow... i stand in awe of God...

After combined service, had skit prac again but this time round with music.. Muchos gracias to Dot who's helping out with the sound cues.. everything's really flowing well together! Praise the Lord! :D

After skit prac, Dot took the keys and started worshipping on it and the Spirit of worship was quite strong in the new place that what was intended to be a jamming session turned out to be a worship session.. there was something different about the place.. alvin joined the worship singing while doing his assignment in the sanctuary... then i was playing the drums.. i usually play the drums for fun and i'm not really proficient at it either but this time round, i found myself worshipping on the drums and the Holy Spirit really taking over! As in He would tell me what to do and when and He would just guide me along, leading me to play the cymbals at the appropriate time, build up at the appropriate time, etc... and i loved it cos it was the Holy Spirit and it was really different and it was worship and it was something i've never done b4 and He just allowed me to flow together with Dot while she was on keys.. of course there were the times when i went off but other than that, i really wanna say that the Holy Spirit is real and Him guiding you through your instrument is real! :) praise the Lord! When Dot was about to go home, i took over the keys and Al took the drums and i never played keys on the Technics keyboard like how i did on that day.. as in my fingers were like flying lah... and it was really different... thank You Holy Spirit for revealing yourself! :)

Monday April 2
Rested most of the day and watched TV... went out for a meeting in the evening... was pondering a sign that God gave me last year about what would take place before the coming move of God.. the sign is unfolding.. watch...

Today i was also reflecting on why the Lord gave me the verse Romans 8:28 during one of the Wednesday Prayer meetings...

And the Lord was also speaking to me through situations and highlighting the importance of peace and unity among the brethren... May the fear of the Lord guard my mouth...

Tuesday April 3
I think i saw Jonathan Leong in school today.. i'm not blogging this cos i'm a fan or something but cos it seems that that's the normal thing people talk about in their blogs lah.. Can you see how it pales in comparison to the depths of God being revealed??

Anyway, had sch today but ended early cos Dr Wee is in US.. was thinking of something on the bus today.. the idea of stewardship... the bible tells of how the secrets belong to God but the things revealed He has given to us, the sons of men.. what we're supposed to do with the things revealed? steward the revelation of course! Like when we receive a revelation of God's love and grace, we're suppose to manifest it to others. When we receive a revelation of God's forgiveness, we're called to reflect it to others too! that's why the unmerciful servant was judged- cos of poor stewardship of the virtue that he partook of.. And do you know this applies to the other virtues of God.. like when the Lord imparts to us His healing virtue and grace, one way of stewarding it is to exercise your faith and pray for others to be healed... and he who has will be given more and he who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him... now how would you apply this in your daily lives?? :)

Godblessya!!! muchos! :D
