Revival Fire that never cease!

I'm back from Korea Christian Conference and my Heart is filled with lots of thanksgiving! Thank God for all the wonderful experiences I've had last week. Everyday, yes, everyday I experienced God! This year, from what I've heard is that we got all good speakers and I agreed. It's tough having to choose which sermons to skip and spend the time to pray! Alrights, Let me get to the main point. Allow me to share with you some close experiences I've with God!


It's always been my desire to go korea for the past 3 years. I can't go because of my school and finiancially. I 'missed' out 'Worship&Revival', 'Mission&Revival' and one more which I wanted to go very much but can't! I desired to go korea! to learn, spend time to seek God, to know God more! But God is good! I didn't 'missed' without a purpose. God has His timing. Miracle 试试看,做做看,一定行!(Rev. Cho yong gi)
Miracles

It's a miracle that I can go to korea this year. Initially, I was thinking if I can go (Because lots of factor to consider) and so I waited and waited, from an early bird discount of $250 to $150 to NOTHING! Each week I read the brochures, desiring to go very much. Guesswhat? I'm volunteered to participate in NDP as Logistic Personnel since early april. Bravo. My heart sank, I did't even try to ask if I could go because, logically, there's a high possibility that I can't go and so the 'can't go' mindset is set in my head. It was till one day when I had dinner with my current adult cell when Brother Joshua asked me why don't I try to ask if I can go? It was then, strangely, a strong prompting in my Heart that I should go try and telling me that surely I can go! It's all God's miracle! Registration was extented another month. God prompted me to sent sms to my EncikS telling them that I'm going for Christian Conference. I asked my EncikS and NDP In Charge and I'm allowed to go! It's was then I'm remindered by Rev. Cho words of wisdom '试试看,做做看,一定行!' ( for the right purpose of course!)

Creator

It's my first time going korea, praying in the early 4.30am (Singapore time) and praying at the Prayer Mountain which is a cemetery! Hearing people from quite a distance shouting in the cemetry! 'Abachi Abachi Abachi!!!' It's a unique experience! I chose a bench high up on the mountain and spending time reflecting, looking at the sceneries, waiting for sunrise and thank God for who He is, a Creator!

Affirmation

Perhaps, the greatest blessing I received was affirmations God has given me through out this trip. I have known my calling 2 or 3 years back. But being someone who is so logical, I doubt I can serve God in that area then. I can't really speak well nor write good lengthy essay so how am I gonna be use by God? that's what I thought.


Through out these 2 - 3 years, I received countless encouragements or even affirmations here and there but I limited the work of God in me. When I see visions of where I gonna serve and how am I gonna serve. I fear alittle. Fear of 'seeing' the wrong things, Fear of not being able to do this and that. I think you guys are familiar with the story of Moses right? I'm just like Moses then. God! I don't know how to speak! God! I don't know what to write! God! I don't know how to lead! What if? what if? WHAT IF??


But God is a gracious God. A God with lots of patience and torlerence.Amen? I'm released of Fear during Rev. Kong Kee (City Harvest Church) Sermon and Praying time. I'm completely released of all fear of serving God in that area! God said He will teach me to speak,write and to lead! So when Rev.Kong said pray to God to give you a vision. Immediately, I saw myself standing on a stage. Preaching the word of God boldy, filled with confident, with the absolute power from God! Sitting in front of me are few thousands people (those who went to 大圣殿 before, it's much more than that!) I stand in awe of God when I saw that! When I saw the vision, I humbled myself before God. For it's really not by my might,my power but by God's Spirit to have me serve Him! PTL!


I recevied another encouragement from God when I'm at Yoido Full Gospel Church (Biggest Church with 750,000 members) friday night. It's really awesome to worship and listening to word of God with like few thousands or 20,000 broS/sisS at one place? During sermon, it was just a thought from me that 'Woa, how well the Pastor lead worship and the word of God! God really bless them much huh?'


A clear voice from God speak to me immediately! ' You don't need to aspire to be, you're called to be!' Tears just rolled down my cheek.

Lastly, we went for a prayer meet on sat night. Led by Worship Leader Pastor He Yong Ren. Great worship place. Same thing, thousands of people. I felt loved much. God prompted Brother Eric Chan qi jie to pray for me using Romans 8:28. Then released words for me! Telling me that God gonna work in me, bringing me back to that first love! Sister Shu xin ( Dingliang wife) Prayed for me too. Strong words and visions was cast unto me, saying Gold dust was on my face, God's glory shines on my face! I was ministered both by the word of God and His Spirit. My heart feel as light as a feather. God is good to the extent that He spoke and affirmed me once again when we attended the Sunday Service on Sunday morning. Speaking the Exact SAME VERSE from Romans 8:28!!

Indeed, God sees the Heart of man. Learning to have a right heart is important. For in 1 Samuel 16:7 [ "7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." ] It's all about the heart that matters to God.
This time the Revival Fire will never cease, when you think it will cease, it will. If not, it will burns much more vigorously! Amen!
