On wed night i was feeling kinda drained out after a long day in camp. i was feeling a spiritual dry. disappointed that i let myself showcase my weaknesses by getting angry and frustrated over silly things that goes around in army. well so i was reclining against the wall in the staircase landing, and a friend of mine came to sit behind me while chatting on the phone with his girlfriend.
Basically, he was going thru some problems outside of camp with some other ah bengs. after the finished i asked if things were alright with him. so he sat down beside me at that staircase and we started to chat. somehow or rather i shared with him about my God. that whenever i have problems He will answer my prayers and gave him some instances where God broke through for me in army.
i plucked up my courage told him that God loves him. and i think for him, and his religious background it was hard to understand that.
So he replied: "are you sure?"
and i turned to john 3:16 and shared with him about the love of God and how Jesus came down to die for him.
I ended off by boldly asking him whether i could pray for him. and he gladly accepted.
Two days later while booking out of camp, down that staircase, he thanked me for praying for him and he said that, that night he slept very well! I really thank God for that because i know he has alot of strongholds and tends to "see" things around.
Thank God for that breakthru in the marketplace. Indeed like Rev Ed Silvoso mentioned - memories are the enemy of faith! our past failures, the things we struggle with (not that we dont do drastic measures to counter them), what people think of us, the personal comfort we have to forgo...
and we just need to let go and let God take control.
there is alot of takeaways for me today at the conference. i really sense the Lord speaking to me about certain things and also affirming issues that i've been thinking about and i felt it was divinely timely.
during the altar call i stood directly in front of him and for a substantial amount of time i was just looking up and staring into the eyes of Rev Ed. as i did that i felt in my spirit that "this man really knows the heartbeat of God for the nations" that fire and passion and sharpness for the things of God resides in him.
i saw a vision. as he was praying for singapore, i saw a picture of the singapore city view lighting up from darkness with a giant cross in the centre of the landscape. then i remember my blog posting a few hours ago that had a banner. yes something like that!
may we take up the challenge and be that warrior for God!
